Xinran walked into Augus's apartment, a penthouse villa on the top floor, with the starry sky above her, as if embraced by the night. The overall tone of the apartment was slightly cool, predominantly white, and the furnishings were clean and tidy, which was quite unlike a man's place; at least it was much neater than her small apartment.
"Please sit, would you like something to drink?"
"Whatever you have is fine, thank you. May I watch TV?" Xinran asked as she settled onto the sofa.
"Of course, make yourself at home! A 1982 Lafite, my collection!" Augus said as he took two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and sat down beside Xinran.
"Dear viewers, we are still waiting downstairs at Augus's apartment. Just now, the two parties involved went upstairs in front of us, seemingly officially acknowledging their relationship. I imagine many of Augus's die-hard fans will find it hard to accept this fact! Including myself. However, whether they are truly together or just creating a smokescreen to cover up rumors remains to be seen. We will continue to follow up on this story!"
Xinran watched the live entertainment broadcast on TV featuring the host reporting and the footage of her being embraced by Augus. A smile that was neither here nor there appeared on her face as she slowly got up and walked to the window. She gently lifted a corner of the curtain and indeed saw many paparazzi lingering below, unwilling to leave.
"If we leave your apartment together tomorrow morning, I’m sure the entertainment section of Gossip Weekly will be even more lively!" Taking the red wine from Augus, Xinran took a light sip. He certainly knew how to enjoy life; his exquisite wine cabinet was filled with expensive wines.
For someone like him, who was pampered and adored like a superstar without knowing the hardships of life, if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to elevate her own fame, how could she justify it to herself? With such a great opportunity at hand, she had to seize it well; soon she wouldn't have to rely on creating pathetic rumors to get by. The life she longed for—where people would come knocking on her door inviting her for roles—would soon be realized!
"Creating an illusion is exactly what I want. After the press conference, I'll be busy shooting on location in Paris. I'll ask my agent to take good care of you. Remember to tell your agent to contact Hiya. When I return, I'll help arrange for you to work with me on a film; you'll definitely become famous then!" Augus raised his glass in a toast to Xinran.
"With your support, it seems impossible not to become famous. Cheers!" The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed as Xinran suppressed the excitement bubbling within her and tilted her head back to drink from her glass.
Seeing Xinran's decisiveness, Augus elegantly poured her another glass of red wine. After drinking, her cheeks flushed charmingly; however, his intention was not merely to admire her beauty but for something else entirely.
Tonight, it was he who let the paparazzi loose, so her arrival at his apartment was part of his plan. Even getting her drunk was part of his strategy. Since she had already agreed to play this game, then he would set the rules and gameplay!
Crimson Liquid poured into the throats of the two, one cup after another, until they were slightly tipsy, and then intoxicated...
The next morning, when Xinran opened her weary eyes, this was the scene she saw: she and Augus were lying tightly embraced on his large bed, her clothes somewhat disheveled, but thankfully not completely undressed. They had not engaged in a romantic night of passion; they had simply gotten drunk and fallen asleep in each other's arms, she was certain.
Although she had no memory of what happened while she was drunk, she still had a sense of whether anything occurred. Or rather, if she really did sleep with Augus, it would be him who lost out!
Wasn't there a report from Gossip Weekly stating that his body was worth billions? She certainly couldn't be valued at such a high price. Even if her virginity wasn't considered precious in modern times, it wouldn't sell for over a billion; thankfully, she hadn't done anything outrageous. Otherwise, if this International Superstar demanded compensation for the loss of his body, even if she went bankrupt, she wouldn't be able to afford it!
Besides, wasn't he gay? It was said that homosexuals feel a deep sense of disgust when they have close contact with the opposite sex. I wonder what Augus is feeling right now?
