"No."
An Nuan shook her head, her eyes fixed on the fish in the pond, pretending to admire them while trying her best to avoid looking into the handsome young man's eyes, fearing that her anxious thoughts might be revealed.
After all, she had ulterior motives for coming here, and it was inevitable that she would slip up.
After watching for a while, she unsteadily made her way to the front desk. The female attendant at the front desk had a pleasant demeanor, and her smile was warm and inviting. An Nuan smiled back and nodded, "I would like a room."
"Miss, please take a look at this to see what type of room you would like."
The front desk attendant handed her a booklet. An Nuan glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh.
The cheapest rooms on the fifth floor started at a million.
As she moved up, the prices only escalated; rooms on the seventh floor were almost ten million per night, not to mention the eighth floor.
From what Ye Meiqi had said, Xing Hui's major shareholder seemed to be a regular on the eighth floor. With such high expenses, how much must this person earn in a year?
The cost for just one night was more than she could ever hope to repay as compensation. With such a stark contrast in lifestyles, would someone like him even notice her?
Her mind was in disarray as she looked at the exorbitant room rates, and An Nuan couldn't help but twitch her lips in frustration.
The lowest price started at a million; how could she possibly afford that?
But if I leave now, it would be a bit...
Suddenly, her sharp eyes caught sight of a special offer room nearby. The location wasn’t great, but An Nuan steeled herself and asked, “Why is this special offer room so cheap?”
It was just over ten thousand.
“This is part of the hotel’s new promotion. We’re currently in the trial phase, so the prices are significantly lower,” the receptionist replied with a friendly smile. An Nuan nodded with a smile, feeling relieved. Fortunately, there was this room available; otherwise, she wouldn’t even have the chance to get close to this person.
Feeling grateful, she immediately booked the room, completely ignoring the change in the receptionist's expression after she made the reservation.
“Miss, are you sure about this room? The trial rooms may not have the best experience,” the receptionist cautioned.
“It’s fine,” An Nuan shook her head repeatedly, trying her best not to appear too awkward.
After securing the room and receiving the key card, she realized it was on the seventh floor.
This location was close to the eighth floor. If she was lucky, perhaps she could find a way to access the eighth floor through the emergency exit. Hotels typically don’t lock their safety passages easily.
Especially in more reputable hotels like this one, safety measures are usually stricter. After all, in case of a fire or any emergency, they need to provide a chance for these valuable guests to escape.
An Nuan entered the elevator with her room card, navigating through the twists and turns until she finally found her room. After staying inside for a while, she thought about how the Major Shareholder wouldn’t arrive until later that evening. Should she take some time to freshen up? With her bare face, it was likely that no one would find her appealing.
Resolute in her decision, she hurried back downstairs and headed to a nearby mall to pick out an off-shoulder dress. It had a hint of allure without being overly innocent. She also grabbed a pair of high heels. Looking at her refreshed self in the mirror, she couldn’t help but think that clothes could indeed make a significant difference.
After applying a bit of makeup, she felt ready and returned to the hotel to wait.
As she contemplated her completely empty wallet, she kept encouraging herself internally.
“Lu An Nuan, you cannot afford to lose. If you do, it’s all over for you. Not just you—Shuo Shuo will be dragged down with you.”
As time passed and night finally fell, An Nuan stood up, preparing to leave. She gently patted her heart, whispering to herself, “Lu An Nuan, once you go out there, there’s no turning back. From now on…”
