Chapter 48 - 47: Could It Be the 13 Spices?

A great night’s sleep.

Waking up in a large bed with the sheets even thrown off...

Turns out, holding a fragrant, soft body significantly improves sleep quality...

Gu Heng is a perfect example...

This was the deepest sleep he had had in years...

It might also be because he had been too strenuous last night, having spent five years’ worth of energy all at once, going at it for over two hours...

Initially, Lin Ran tried to maintain her dominance, after all, from start to finish, it was she who seduced Gu Heng, but towards the end, she was nothing but rolling her eyes and begging for mercy...

The saying about men being wolves at thirty and tigers at forty isn’t wrong...

But it depends on what kind of wolf...

If it were a 28-year-old housewife who had been married for many years, Gu Heng might not have overwhelmed her, but with someone like Lin Ran, who had plenty of theoretical knowledge but no practical experience, Gu Heng dominated thanks to his excellent physical condition...

And because he felt somewhat reversed, Gu Heng had not a hint of tenderness.

The still damp sheets on the floor were testament to the fierceness of last night’s battle...

Glancing at the somewhat messy room, the inexplicable water stains on the cupboard and by the window made him shake his head in absurdity as Gu Heng slowly got up from the bed.

This wasn’t his first time; he had lost his virginity back in high school graduation, when, as an average Joe, he could only enjoy the sweetness of love once, since teenage love hardly costs anything—a cup of milk tea, a few bucks worth of trinket might just convince a girl to willingly give her everything...

But as the saying goes...

Every transformation in a man’s growth stage is a first time.

Originally, he intended his first time after starting anew to be with Fang Xun, but it unexpectedly ended up being with Lin Ran, and it was her first time too...

But overall, it was still a win for him, especially since he wasn’t responsible for anything, no difference there...

Thinking this, Gu Heng felt no psychological burden at all...

.....

He got out of bed, stretched and cracked his joints, then glanced at the unread messages on his WeChat.

10:32 AM Fang Xun: "The massage tools are ready."

11:01 AM: "Gu Heng, are you coming back?"

11:46 AM: "..."

...

1:30 PM: "Mr. Gu, I’m going back to rest first. Let me know if you need me. Goodnight."

From Gu Heng to Mr. Gu, Fang Xun sent a total of 11 messages, each reflecting her emotional changes...

Seeing all these unread messages, Gu Heng couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward...

Although he had important things to do, no matter how you put it, he had stood her up and made her wait for hours...

But when it really came down to it, he didn’t feel much guilt.

In the past, his boss used to pay him a few thousand bucks a month and boss him around without any guilt, he earned over a thousand a day, so why feel guilty?

With that thought, Gu Heng then checked the other unread messages.

He Jing and Lin Jiayun both had sent messages after midnight, especially Lin Jiayun, who had sent him a rather sexy photo in her nightwear...

After giving both a cursory reply, Gu Heng shifted his attention to the message Lin Ran had sent him around ten in the morning, along with a transfer of 200 yuan...

"I’m heading back to Shanghai first, last night was quite something. Hope to see you again.

Also, this 200 yuan is your fee, the going rate for male models in Shanghai—100 yuan an hour."

The text was filled with carelessness.

Smiling, he accepted the 200 yuan and sent back a voice message, "Thanks, boss. Looking forward to your next visit."

He was well aware of the pride of a strong woman like Lin Ran. Since she wanted to maintain her pride, he was happy to oblige as a male model—plus, a quick 200 yuan was a total steal...

After replying to the messages, he got dressed and washed up briefly before heading to the dining area...

After last night’s workload, he wondered if the 200 yuan could help restore his energy.

...

...

More than ten minutes later, Gu Heng arrived at the restaurant.

"Mr. Gu."

Having received a message from Gu Heng in advance, Fang Xun was already waiting in the restaurant.

Still in that gentle and professional butler demeanor as if the incident where Gu Heng stood her up last night had never happened, she carefully pulled out a chair from under the table for Gu Heng.

Gu Heng had just sat down and picked up the menu when he saw Fang Xun wrinkle her nose and sniff something.

"What are you smelling?"

"Mr. Gu didn’t smell it?"

"Smelled what?"

"A sort of indescribable fragrance."

Listening to Fang Xun, Gu Heng frowned, lifted his arm, and indeed smelled a faint scent...

He had only rinsed off quickly after exercising last night, so it was normal to have a bit of a residual smell.

But this scent was a bit strange, not like Lin Ran’s perfume.

Could it be fragrance No. 13?

The more Gu Heng thought about it, the more likely it seemed... Experience tales with freewebnovel

At that thought, Gu Heng glanced at the menu and asked Fang Xun, "Do you have any large shopping centers around Wuzhen, preferably with a complete range of brands?"

After the system activation, he had spent millions, but he still only had those two outfits.

Being scruffy was usually no big deal, but now that his body smelled of fragrance No. 13, it was inappropriate not to buy a few more items...

"Around Wuzhen... there aren’t really shopping centers with a complete range of brands. After all, this is a tourist area, and most of the stuff for sale are local specialties.

If you want to go to a shopping center, you could go to Xingjia City, they definitely have shopping centers there, and the distance isn’t far, about 20 kilometers."

Hearing Fang Xun’s reply, Gu Heng nodded slightly.

After casually ordering a few dishes, he handed the menu back to Fang Xun, "Then after we finish eating, accompany me to Xingjia."

Without saying much, Fang Xun nodded and then took the menu towards the kitchen area.

As for Gu Heng...

He gazed at her graceful retreating figure, deep in thought...

Although he had already had his "meal," given Gu Heng’s greedy nature, he certainly wouldn’t settle for just one satisfying meal...

Lin Ran was just an accident; Fang Xun was his real target...

It’s not that Lin Ran was inferior to Fang Xun, but rather, Gu Heng’s male pride was at play...

Compared to last night’s one-night stand, he enjoyed the satisfaction of his conquering desire even more.

Why in earlier years did coal bosses prefer to invest in the entertainment industry and sponsor female celebrities?

Isn’t it just the conquering desire at play?

Having those glamorous celebrities bow down to one’s money in front of others, setting aside the question of being vulgar, isn’t it a thrilling experience?

Gu Heng didn’t have the grand vision or capital of a coal boss to start directly with female celebrities.

But he also wanted to experience this thrill, so he temporarily set his sights on Fang Xun.

As for why he needed Fang Xun to accompany him to buy clothes, the reason, of course, was simple.

Money isn’t just for women to see, but for them to spend. This saying might not be as effective on someone like Lin Jiayun who holds out for a better offer, but applied to someone like Fang Xun who is in need and greedy, it should have an effect, right?

Although he had already showcased his wealth in front of Fang Xun.

But such matters, of course, the more frequent they are, the more profound they become.

Laying the groundwork is always right.

After staying in Wuzhen for one more day, he planned to return to Hang City, and he was sure he had Fang Xun in his grasp; not even Jesus could save her.
