Chapter 238 - 200: Boss Xu’s Pleasure

Chapter 238: Chapter 200: Boss Xu’s Pleasure

Ten minutes later.

Han Jingcheng and Chu Zhengnan left Gu Heng’s VIP room.

"Go on, keep singing."

Gu Heng turned to Liu Nanyi and the other two girls. The imposing aura that had surrounded him vanished, replaced once again by a gentle warmth.

"Gu Heng, you’re amazing."

"We’re clearly the same age, but how do you know so much?"

Liu Nanyi sat down next to Gu Heng again. "That older man sitting next to you just now looked about my dad’s age, but he was so respectful to you."

"Study, observe, experience. In time, you’ll naturally learn more."

Gu Heng responded with a light chuckle, seeing the look of admiration in Liu Nanyi’s eyes.

As they were talking, Su Tang and Lin Qingge also returned and sat down beside Gu Heng.

"Gu Heng, it looked like you drank a lot just now."

"Are you feeling alright?"

Once again, it was Su Tang who took the initiative to sit on Gu Heng’s other side. With a hint of concern on her face, she asked him softly, "Do you want a soft drink to help with that?"

Compared to before Han Jingcheng and Chu Zhengnan arrived, Su Tang was now noticeably more forward and enthusiastic.

"I’m fine."

"This little bit of alcohol is nothing."

Gu Heng noticed the shift in Su Tang’s attitude and had a good idea of the reason.

’Just as I thought...’

’The grandmaster really knew what he was talking about.’

’Showing a woman you have wealth is far more effective than just spending money on her.’

Gu Heng couldn’t help but feel a little reflective.

Clearly, even a campus belle like Su Tang couldn’t resist the allure of wealth.

It just goes to show, goddesses know how to care about people too.

You’re just not the one they care about.

Meanwhile, seeing this, Liu Nanyi felt a strange tightness in her chest.

"I’m going to sing a song."

Liu Nanyi’s fair cheeks puffed out slightly. She first took a big gulp from her glass, then stood up with a hint of indignation. Instead of grabbing a handheld microphone, she walked straight to the mic stand, dragging it to the front and center of the room.

As the dynamic music began to play, Gu Heng’s attention was quickly drawn to Liu Nanyi.

The song she had chosen was the classic Cantonese oldie "Dearest Love," and it was a special DJ remix.

...

In that faraway place, we met by chance or fate

Our first encounter, who could resist imagination’s gate?

A sunset like a poem

An evening glow like wine

...

Just as the intro began, Liu Nanyi slowly raised her slender arms, her body beginning to sway rhythmically.

Under the room’s somewhat psychedelic lights, her pure and lovely face took on a hint of captivating allure, creating a tantalizing contrast.

As a top student in the Vocal Performance department at the Jilin University School of Art, Liu Nanyi, while not quite on the level of overachievers like Su Tang and Lin Qingge, could still easily outshine any average girl or student from a typical arts school.

She was already wearing a floral slip dress, and now, paired with the classic Cantonese song and the room’s psychedelic lighting, she looked absolutely captivating.

Coincidentally, Gu Heng was sitting right in the center of the sofa, while Liu Nanyi stood in the center of the room. Their gazes intertwined, a smoldering intensity growing between them.

...

The tides ebb and flow

The moon is cold, the wind and frost

The night rain’s wild fantasy

The faint fragrance of wildflowers

...

As the song reached the chorus, Liu Nanyi’s movements grew even more seductive.

She extended a fair, slender leg from beneath her dress, lightly tapping her toes on the floor. Then, with her right hand steadying the mic stand, the fingertips of her left hand slowly traced a path up from her calf.

Watching Liu Nanyi, Gu Heng suddenly understood the appeal for men like Boss Xu. No wonder even the emperors of old were addicted to this sort of thing. The feeling was truly something else.

At that moment, watching Liu Nanyi, both Su Tang and Lin Qingge had the same thought: The competition was on!

In the past, when they snuck out from school for karaoke and got carried away, they would put on some DJ tracks or South Korean dance music and just sing and dance their hearts out in the room.

But that was only when it was just the girls; only then could they let loose like that.

Now, however, there was a man in the room.

Evidently, Liu Nanyi realized she couldn’t compete with Su Tang and Lin Qingge in singing alone, so she’d carved out her own niche by combining singing and dancing to boost her competitiveness.

And now, it seemed...

...the effect was quite remarkable.

Su Tang and Lin Qingge watched Gu Heng, who was focused on the performance with a smile in his eyes. Their gazes flickered, and they both felt a little hesitant.

When the song ended, Liu Nanyi was only slightly out of breath.

"So? How was it?"

"I know I’m not as good as Tangtang or Qingge, but it wasn’t too bad, right?"

Liu Nanyi sat back down beside Gu Heng, looking at him with hopeful expectation as she asked.

"I didn’t get a clear look."

Gu Heng replied with a grin, "You should do a couple more later so I can observe more closely."

"Didn’t get a clear look?"

"Your eyes were practically dripping with intensity just now!"

Liu Nanyi huffed lightly.

"Oh?"

"Are you the only one who’s allowed to drip?"

Gu Heng murmured in response, his eyes glancing down toward her skirt, the corners of his lips curled in a wicked smile.

Liu Nanyi noticed his gaze, and her pretty face couldn’t help but blush slightly.

’How does he know...’

The thought flashed through her mind as her cheeks flushed red.

While Liu Nanyi and Gu Heng were whispering, Su Tang’s fingers rapidly tapped the song selection tablet a few times. A moment later, another dynamic beat blasted from the room’s speakers.

At the same time, Su Tang also stood up from the sofa.

A woman as fierce as a hawk, she had never been afraid of a little competition.

Hearing the music, Gu Heng turned his gaze back to the center of the room. The song Su Tang had chosen was in the exact same style as Liu Nanyi’s—a DJ remix. It was "The First Person I Loved" by the so-called "Sweetheart Queen," Cyndi Wang.

...

The gray sky

Your face

After loving, crying, laughing, and hurting

All that’s left is goodbye

...

Compared to the folk song, "The Song of the Grassland," that she had sung earlier, Su Tang’s voice was completely different when she sang pop music.

As a campus belle and a top-tier beauty, Su Tang’s figure was naturally superb. Not only was she curvy in all the right places, but her proportions were so perfect that her wrists easily hung below her hips.

With such superior physical assets, combined with her incredible professional skill, she managed to give off the vibes of a pop idol right there in the karaoke room.

Both her dancing and her gaze were flawless.

’Damn it!’

’Who says you have to go to a business KTV to be King Zhou!’

’When you’re rich, you can be King Zhou anywhere!’

Gu Heng silently picked up his glass and drained it in one gulp.

...

Late at night, on the third floor of Roar Hall.

Feng Yao watched Wu Zixiang and the others, who were still caterwauling up front. The scene was no different from a host of demons dancing wildly.

’Where did Yiyi and Qingge go?’

’Why have they been gone for so long?’

Feng Yao frowned, feeling puzzled.

If she hadn’t seen the down jackets belonging to Liu Nanyi, Su Tang, and the others still in the room, she would have thought they had left for campus without saying goodbye.

’Could it be that they got another room with Gu Heng?’

The thought suddenly popped into Feng Yao’s head.

It had been almost two hours since Liu Nanyi and Gu Heng had left the room, followed by Su Tang and Lin Qingge.

Given that they hadn’t left Roar Hall, that seemed to be the only possibility.

’Oh, great...’

’So you just ditched me here to go have fun by yourselves, is that it?’

At this thought, Feng Yao couldn’t help but bite her lip, feeling a sense of wronged abandonment and isolation.

Just then, Gao Junlin, who had just finished belting out another song with Wu Zixiang, returned to sit beside Feng Yao, looking extremely excited.

"Yaoyao, you seem a little down."

Gao Junlin asked with concern.

"I’m not down."

Feng Yao replied, not meaning what she said.

"That’s good."

Gao Junlin had a high tolerance for alcohol, but after more than a dozen bottles, he was clearly a bit drunk. He gazed at Feng Yao—at her fair skin, delicate face, and flowing hair—and a fiery look flashed in his eyes. "Babe, it’s already really late. How about tonight..."

"...you don’t go back to campus, and we’ll stay out somewhere, okay?"

Gao Junlin felt that tonight, the time, place, and mood were all perfect. Besides, he and Feng Yao had known each other for almost a month now; it was time for some real progress.

Facing Gao Junlin’s burning gaze, Feng Yao naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

In fact, Gao Junlin had suggested something similar last week. At the time, she just felt it was a bit fast. She wanted to test him a little longer and also show a bit of maidenly reserve, lest he get what he wanted too easily and not cherish it. Her refusal wasn’t because she never intended to give in.

However, after seeing Gu Heng tonight...

Gao Junlin, whom she had always thought was quite good, was instantly and completely overshadowed by Gu Heng.

Whether in looks, bearing, temperament, character, or wealth, status, and background, Gao Junlin was simply no match for him.

Under these circumstances, her mindset had quietly changed.

Before, she wanted to wait a little longer before giving herself to Gao Junlin.

Now, she didn’t want to give herself to him at all.

"I have to go back to campus tonight."

Feng Yao replied in a low voice, her gaze a little cold.

"Babe, do you really have to go back?"

Gao Junlin, who had been excited and even slightly aroused, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head when he heard her reply.

"They’re all waiting for me."

Just then, Lin Qingge finally messaged her back. Shielding her phone from Gao Junlin, she glanced at it and saw that, just as she’d suspected, Gu Heng and the girls had gotten another room in Roar Hall.

"You guys continue having fun."

"There’s still so much alcohol left to drink."

"Yiyi and the others and I are going to leave first. We have class tomorrow morning."

The thought of Liu Nanyi and the others ditching her to have fun in another room made Feng Yao feel inexplicably wronged. She stood up, gathered their down jackets, and after speaking to Gao Junlin, prepared to leave.

"I’ll walk you out then."

His plans ruined, and seeing Feng Yao’s somewhat cold demeanor, Gao Junlin also felt wronged.

"No need."

"You guys keep having fun."

"I can go down by myself."

Feng Yao waved her hand, rejecting him again.

"Fine."

"Just let me know when you get back to campus."

Gao Junlin was getting annoyed too. Hearing her say that, he decided he really wouldn’t walk her out.

Feng Yao’s beautiful eyes widened slightly as she watched Gao Junlin’s butt plant itself back on the sofa.

Seriously?

I say you don’t have to walk me out, and you really don’t?

Is it just because I rejected your invitation to get a room?

What a turn-off!

A complete and utter turn-off!

Feng Yao’s pretty face fell. Without even a word to Gao Junlin’s roommates and the other upperclassmen, she hugged the down jackets and walked straight out of the room.

But the moment she stepped out, she saw a middle-aged man standing outside. The name tag on his chest clearly indicated his position: Manager.

"Miss Feng, Chairman Gu sent me to get you..."

Du Zehui made a welcoming gesture toward Feng Yao, his attitude also extremely respectful.

Chairman Gu?

Seeing this, Feng Yao felt unexpectedly flattered.

After a slight hesitation, she nodded lightly and followed Du Zehui toward the elevator...
