Chapter 246: Chapter 207: A Player? This Is Clearly Doubled Devotion

"Hm?"

"Mhm!"

"You just ran into Gu Heng?"

Lu Ya’s eyes widened in an instant, and her voice rose several pitches.

"Yes."

Tian Xiqwei nodded. "We ran into each other at the gym, and then we worked out together."

"And then?"

Lu Ya’s eyes were practically glowing.

"And then..."

"He just invited me to the executive lounge for a couple of drinks."

Tian Xiqwei blinked, answering truthfully.

"Yes!"

"Sweetie, you’re amazing!"

"I was just racking my brain trying to figure out how to create an opportunity for you and Chairman Gu!"

"And you just went and handled it yourself without a peep?"

Lu Ya was overjoyed, her excitement plain to see.

As Tian Xiqwei’s agent, her own social status and salary were completely tied to Tian Xiqwei’s career. They were in a sink-or-swim-together situation.

Under these circumstances, she naturally wanted Tian Xiqwei to do better and better. ℴℴ𝘮

"Huh?"

"Wait a minute."

"If Gu Heng asked you for a drink, why are you here with me?"

Suddenly, Lu Ya’s face went pale. "Darling, don’t tell me you turned Gu Heng down?"

"Lu Ya, how could I possibly turn him down? I’m not an idiot."

Tian Xiqwei looked slightly exasperated. "I just came back to change my clothes. We’re meeting at the executive lounge later."

"Right, right, right!"

"Change your clothes!"

Lu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, her face breaking into a wide smile again.

"This workout outfit really kills the mood. Sweetie, go pick out a pretty little dress, change into some sexy lingerie, spray on some perfume, and if there’s time, touch up your makeup..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Lu Ya, aren’t you being a little dramatic!"

"We..."

"We just met. We’re just having a simple drink later."

"How did you jump straight to sexy lingerie?"

Tian Xiqwei couldn’t help but cut Lu Ya off, a faint blush creeping across her delicate, milky-white cheeks.

"Hey!"

"It pays to be prepared!"

"Late-night drinks are when passions are most easily stirred~"

Lu Ya teased Tian Xiqwei with the look of someone who had seen it all.

"Oh, come on!"

"That won’t happen!"

"I won’t drink much later. I have to get up early for filming tomorrow."

Lu Ya’s teasing made Tian Xiqwei a bit embarrassed. "Lu Ya, I came to find you because I want you to keep an eye on things for me. After all, we just met."

She didn’t say it explicitly, but Lu Ya immediately understood her meaning.

"So what are you saying?"

"Should I stay in your room tonight too?"

Teasing was one thing, but Lu Ya knew what needed to be done in reality.

"Mhm."

"You can stay in my room."

"I’ll definitely be coming back to sleep tonight."

Tian Xiqwei nodded.

"Alright."

"You go back to your room and change first."

"I’ll grab a few things and be right over."

"Hurry up, don’t keep Chairman Gu waiting too long."

Lu Ya urged Tian Xiqwei.

"Okay~"

Tian Xiqwei replied, then said no more. She turned and walked out of Lu Ya’s room. After grabbing her charger, earplugs, and other personal items, Lu Ya also quickly left her own room.

...

「Midnight.」

After returning to her room to change and hastily touch up her makeup, Tian Xiqwei entered the hotel’s executive lounge with a light spring in her step.

"Miss Tian, Chairman Gu is waiting for you inside."

A uniformed receptionist stood at the entrance of the executive lounge. Upon seeing Tian Xiqwei, she immediately spoke in a respectful tone and gestured inside.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Tian Xiqwei replied politely.

As a five-star luxury hotel, the Beichun Junlan Hotel’s executive lounge was opulent and grand. But because it was so late, most of the lights were off, with only a few wall sconces and nightlights left on.

Although it was slightly dim, it created a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Following the receptionist, Tian Xiqwei eventually arrived at the central bar in the executive lounge.

"Chairman Gu, I’ve brought Miss Tian to you."

The receptionist looked at Gu Heng, who was standing behind the central bar, her attitude extremely deferential.

"You’re dismissed."

Gu Heng was wearing a black casual shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the collar slightly open. The look was rakish and unrestrained, and he exuded a potent masculine charm.

After the receptionist left, Tian Xiqwei sat down on a high stool in front of Gu Heng, her gaze filled with curiosity. "Chairman Gu, you know how to mix drinks?"

"I know a thing or two."

Gu Heng replied without looking up, his expression still focused.

Seeing this, Tian Xiqwei didn’t disturb him further. She propped her elbows on the bar, rested her chin in her hands, and silently watched the man before her.

Back in the gym, she hadn’t really had a chance to observe him this closely.

His face was as flawless as jade, his eyes as bright as stars.

His nose was high and straight, his lips a perfect crimson.

His features were refined but not boyish, his aura mature but not stuffy.

As Tian Xiqwei watched him, her gaze couldn’t help but drift downwards.

That sexy Adam’s apple, those strong, well-defined hands... the more she looked, the sexier and more captivating he became.

Over the years, Tian Xiqwei had worked with many male actors and had seen plenty of A-listers at various galas and award ceremonies.

While those male stars were all handsome in their own ways, they always gave her the feeling of being empty shells—like decorative vases in a shop, pretty to look at and nothing more.

But the feeling Gu Heng gave her was completely different.

He was like a work of art in a museum. Perhaps his appearance wasn’t as immediately striking as those "vases," but the more she looked, the more profound his appeal became.
