Chapter 953: Li Yuan Gets the Casting Couch Treatment_2

After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content,

“Thank you for the hospitality, the food was pretty good.”

Li Yuan waved his hand as a gesture to say goodbye.

Wenxi hurriedly came to Li Yuan’s side, holding his arm, and spoke nervously:

“Xia Hua, you drank a little, let me take you back to the hotel!”

The meaning behind Wenxi’s words was very clear, understood by anyone who’s not a fool.

Although Li Yuan drank a little, it wasn’t much, and he was still very aware.

However, he didn’t refuse, only nodded slightly.

…

In the presidential suite of the Carlton Ritz,

Li Yuan had just walked into the room, when Wenxi threw herself at him, and before he could react, he felt his mouth was already blocked by something soft…

Next, without Li Yuan taking any initiative, he passively experienced the first power play of his life.

However, he was the one being played.

…

Afterwards,

Li Yuan looked at Wenxi, who was lying on the bed with a shy and satisfied expression, and sighed softly.

Ultimately, he’s just an ordinary man.

The young female sales agent in front of him, both in looks and figure, was exceptional. A slight temptation and a proactive embrace, and he couldn’t quite resist, leading to being completely pushed over.

This made him question himself: Is he fundamentally unworthy?

Or is his determination just frail?

However,

No matter what, he didn’t lose out.

Li Yuan glanced at the radiant Wenxi, speaking more gently than before.

“Was this your first time? You’ve never been in a relationship before?”

Wenxi naturally knew what Li Yuan meant, and quickly explained softly:

“Xia Hua, I just graduated from college. My parents were strict, so I never dated before…”

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised, considering Wenxi’s looks and figure, wondering why she hadn’t dated during college, but said nothing more.

The world is vast, with all kinds of people and situations that could occur.

Just like himself, he pursued Bai Weixi for seven years in his past life, never getting involved with any other girls, even rejecting many advances — isn’t this unbelievable to others?

Given his looks and figure at the time, if he wanted a relationship, he’d never be lacking in girlfriends.

Though they might not be as high-quality as Bai Weixi, they surely wouldn’t be lacking in numbers.

One could only say Bai Weixi, his high school deskmate, his perfect ‘first love’, raised his expectations for relationships.

So, after “breaking up” with Bai Weixi, he quickly devolved, dating several others within a few short years — yet he never again felt that unique first love sensation.

Only the youthful awkwardness fits first love best!

First love remains the hardest to forget.

Just like now, the girl beside him, with fine looks, figure, and eloquence, could only fulfill his physical desires, dealing with that primal urge between men and women, but couldn’t evoke the same feeling he had with Bai Weixi…

“Oh.” Li Yuan uttered a brief “oh” and fell into silence.

Seeing Li Yuan’s silence, Wenxi, who had relaxed, suddenly tensed up, biting her lip, nervously saying:

“Xia Hua, I want nothing, and I don’t need you to be responsible, I just wish to indulge once, to fulfill my greatest dream.”

“Now, I’m already content.”

Listening to Wenxi’s words, Li Yuan felt oddly perplexed.

Clearly, he was the one actively playing the power game; why did it feel like he was being played now?

Aren’t I being fooled just because I bought a few properties?

Li Yuan found it amusing.

He couldn’t really grasp Wenxi’s intentions; was it really just pure admiration that led her to want to sleep with him?

Or was it more, a strategic lure to get something more?

That’s impossible; he was merely caught off guard and enjoyed a playful encounter.

“Ahem, you should know of my situation, you must have heard; I can’t offer you anything.”

Li Yuan spoke lightly, choosing to lay things bare.

Saying it directly now, letting Wenxi confront reality, was better than her harboring unrealistic illusions.

It didn’t matter whether he played her or she played him.

So why care?

“Xia Hua, I really don’t have any other intentions; I just purely like you as a person. I really, really love your music; I’m your die-hard fan. Being able to do this with you was my dream, and now that dream is fulfilled…”

“Rest assured, I definitely won’t interfere with your life or bother you.”

“I just hope, when you occasionally come to Beijing, you might let me know, so we could occasionally meet.”

“I swear, I absolutely won’t interfere with your normal life.”

Hearing this, Li Yuan felt a twinge of compassion.

This girl really gets it.

Of course, the main reason was the great experience she just gave him, an enjoyment like pure imperial indulgence…

This made him feel some emotions.

Though it’s impossible for her to be his girlfriend, keeping her as a kind of adornment wouldn’t be bad; at least she was pleasant to look at.

Later, when the company expands, he’ll definitely come to Beijing often…

Thinking like this, Li Yuan had formed an idea.

Of course, whether this could be implemented depended on the choices of the girl on the bed.

“What are your plans for the future?” Li Yuan asked nonchalantly.

Wenxi first paused, then a deep sense of joy rose in her heart.

Was he implying?

“Xia Hua, what do you mean?” Wenxi cautiously inquired.

Li Yuan remained composed: “Nothing, just curious.”

Wenxi drew out her voice: “Oh, I don’t know either; my education is mediocre, and I lack work experience, so I’ll stick with this job for now.”

Li Yuan thought for a moment before asking: “Are you interested in joining my company?”

“Ah, join your company?” Wenxi’s eyes widened, her mind unable to process it.

She initially thought that after sacrificing her first time, the man before her might just choose to leave heartlessly.

Perhaps there’d be a hint of possessiveness, wanting to keep her.

The best outcome, which she desired most, would be growing affection, becoming one of his girlfriends…

But now, leaving a job to join his company, what does that mean?

Wenxi was completely puzzled.

However, despite not understanding, she was smart enough to know what the correct choice might be.

“Xia Hua, I’ll follow your lead; I’ll do whatever you ask.”

Hearing Wenxi’s response, Li Yuan chuckled, teasing: “Oh, you trust me just like that? Aren’t you afraid I might ask you to do something bad?”

Wenxi looked at Li Yuan with eyes seemingly hooked, unhesitatingly replying.

“Xia Hua, I trust you; you’re a good man.”

“Ahem!” Li Yuan nearly choked on his drink.

Since his rebirth, people have admired his talents or criticized him, but no one had called him a good man.

Now, issuing a ‘good person’ card at this moment, isn’t it a bit late?

“Alright, thanks for calling me a good man.”

“So you’re really willing to let me handle everything?”

Wenxi nodded confidently: “Willing!”

Li Yuan gave a look of admiration; such steadfastness showed the girl was indeed clever, perceptive.

Following him meant she wouldn’t struggle; vast riches might be unlikely, but financial freedom wasn’t far-fetched.

“Then resign from your job and join my company.”

“Okay, Xia Hua, I’ll do as you say.”

After saying this, Wenxi proactively asked:

“Xia Hua, what should I do?”

Li Yuan asked: “Do you want to be a store manager?”

Wenxi was startled: “Store manager?”

“Yes, soon, ‘Tea Color Moonlight’ will officially open here in Beijing; we’re still lacking several store managers. I think you’re quite suitable.”
