Chapter 499 - 281: The Devil’s Temptation

Although Davika was a top-tier star in Thailand, her star power didn’t have much influence at the Banyan Tree Hotel.

The guests who could afford a luxury hotel like Banyan Tree tended to be rational, even if they followed celebrities.

Besides, how many fans could a top-tier Thai actress really have?

Even if she had over nine million followers on Instagram, in China, she would be a second-tier celebrity at best.

She didn’t even earn as much as a second-tier Chinese artist.

Following Qi Sheng to the presidential suite on the 39th floor, Davika saw that every hotel employee they passed bowed respectfully.

Qi Sheng, in turn, simply gave a casual nod in response.

Davika felt a sharp pang in her heart.

Although she had known Qi Sheng for less than an hour, her favorable impression of him had already reached incredible heights.

’Exceptional looks, a sexy physique, immense wealth, a respected status...’

’Every Thai actress dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. Davika was no exception.’

’It was just that the ’wealthy families’ she had access to... were a world apart compared to Qi Sheng.’

"Make yourself comfortable. I’m going to take a shower."

Qi Sheng said casually before heading to the bathroom.

Davika saw the liquor cabinet was filled with brands like Rafael, Penfolds, and Hennessy.

A single bottle of any of them cost over ten thousand.

This overwhelming extravagance made her, with a net worth that had just broken ten million, extremely envious.

"Which brand do you like?"

Coming out of the bathroom, Qi Sheng saw Davika standing in a daze before the liquor cabinet.

"Your Thai is so good!"

Davika had been communicating with Qi Sheng in English the entire time.

Hearing him suddenly switch to her familiar native tongue left her stunned and pleasantly surprised.

"I guess I have a little talent for languages. How about some Richard?"

Qi Sheng casually picked a bottle of Richard from the cabinet.

At over fifty thousand a bottle, it certainly wasn’t cheap.

But the System had been generous, directly gifting Qi Sheng a 100 million birthday bonus.

Lord Tong was footing the bill for all the expenses on this trip.

"Anything is fine with me. Whatever you like."

As the most famous actress in Thailand, it wasn’t like Davika had never had Richard before.

But she had never seen anyone as composed as Qi Sheng.

He wasn’t like others who would show off the price and status of a bottle of Richard before opening it.

He was as relaxed as if he were just grabbing a beer at home.

"Thank you."

Seeing Qi Sheng pour her a glass, Davika quickly accepted it with both hands.

With a height of 175cm, she didn’t look out of place at all standing next to Qi Sheng.

After a few drinks, Davika gradually began to relax.

When she heard that Qi Sheng owned a film and television company back in China, the look Davika gave him grew even more fervent.

If before she was purely after Qi Sheng’s wealth, now she was coveting the resources he controlled.

Although there was no precedent for a Thai actress successfully breaking into Huayu Entertainment, with the example of Lisa’s massive success in South Korea, Davika was quite confident in herself.

And the person who could help her enter the Chinese entertainment industry was undoubtedly Qi Sheng.

As Qi Sheng swirled the glass in his left hand, you could hear the clear clinking of ice cubes.

He had originally put in two ice cubes, but now there was only one.

The other, of course, was in Davika’s mouth.

He had to admit, having Thailand’s number one beauty fawning over him was a real rush.

It didn’t matter if Davika’s title of ’Number One Beauty’ was the result of her team’s marketing.

At the very least, Qi Sheng found it pleasant to hear.

BUZZ~

Qi Sheng glanced at the phone on the sofa, a playful smile suddenly appearing on his face.

If he didn’t understand Thai, it would have been one thing.

But the contact name on the screen translated to ’My Love’.

"Your boyfriend?"

Qi Sheng only remembered that Davika was very popular in Thailand.

He hadn’t paid much attention to her relationship history.

"Mmm... could you please... decline it for me."

A flicker of guilt crossed Davika’s eyes, but she quickly erased it.

’Compared to her career, love was just an embellishment.’

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Qi Sheng answered the call and casually put it on speaker.

"Darling, did you get to the hotel?"

The man’s voice on the other end was quite gentle.

"Mmm... I’m here..."

Davika mumbled a reply, shooting a slightly resentful look at the man whose eyes glinted with mischief.

"That’s good. I saw the weather forecast. It might rain tomorrow, so remember to bring an umbrella before you go out."

"Mhm, you get some rest too."

Normally, Davika enjoyed her boyfriend’s meticulous care.

But today, for some reason, she found it exceptionally irritating.

’Perhaps it was the guilt in her heart that made her feel she couldn’t face the man she had been dating for two years.’

’Love or career—which was more important?’

’For an actress, from the moment she entered this world, the answer was already crystal clear.’

...

「The next day」

The men emerged from their respective rooms with dark circles under their eyes and exchanged a knowing smile.

"Where’s Ah Sheng?"

Wang Han saw that Qi Sheng’s door was still tightly closed, with no sign of him coming out.

"Heh heh, he’s probably still with his little flight attendant."

"Let’s go to the executive lounge to eat first. We can wait for him while we eat."

Jiang Nan stretched contentedly.

He was exhausted after studying Thai all night.

Wang Han said, seeking credit, "So? The girl I set you up with was pretty good, right?"

"She was great. Hey—"

As Jiang Nan walked into the executive lounge, he suddenly saw a figure he didn’t expect to see.

"Whoa, the little flight attendant?"

Wang Han was also stunned for a moment. They both thought Qi Sheng would have had Qin Qingyi with him last night.

But here she was, perfectly fine.
