Chapter 131 - 105: Do as You Please, That’s the Life of a Tycoon
"Uh, theoretically, yes."
Yu Xuan paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Does Mr. Xu require this service?"
"I’d actually like to try it. You won’t laugh at me, will you?"
"Of course not."
Yu Xuan asked with a smile, "In that case, what story would Mr. Xu like to hear?"
"What stories do you know?"
"One Thousand and One Nights, Andersen’s Fairy Tales."
"Do you have any stories for adults?"
"Uh, no."
During their training, they really hadn’t considered that adults might need this service too.
Xu Yun said, "Then just tell one of Andersen’s Fairy Tales."
"Alright."
Yu Xuan began to tell the story in a low, animated voice.
"Once upon a time..."
’I’ve never heard a bedtime story in my entire life,’ Xu Yun thought. ’To think that now, at almost twenty-six or twenty-seven, I’m actually getting to enjoy one.’
’This could be considered making up for a childhood regret.’
Maybe it was because he was truly grown up, or maybe it was just the wrong time of day, but in any case, listening to the story didn’t make Xu Yun the least bit sleepy.
Instead, whenever he opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of her full chest right above his head.
Xu Yun quickly averted his gaze, only to meet Yu Xuan’s eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly, inexplicably, turned charged.
Yu Xuan found it hard to continue with the children’s story. A certain feeling was slowly beginning to brew, and hormones were starting to flow.
Xu Yun suddenly felt his arousal spike.
’Men may not be animals ruled by their lower bodies, but sometimes, they want to be.’
Once the thought popped into Xu Yun’s head, it began to grow wildly, almost uncontrollably.
’When I was poor, a single word—"broke"—could crush even the strongest desire.’
’Now that I have money, I feel like I can’t suppress my desires at all. And I don’t want to.’
’To Do as You Please—that’s the life of the super-rich!’
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xu Yun suddenly asked.
Yu Xuan nodded. "I do. We’ve been together for three years."
"Do you love him?"
"I don’t know." Yu Xuan hesitated, then added, "I think I probably do."
Xu Yun got up, took a jewelry box from a nearby shopping bag, and handed it to her.
"Open it."
Yu Xuan opened it curiously. Inside was the very same Jade Bracelet she had been admiring in the store today, the one she’d liked so much.
It was worth over 30,000.
She looked at Xu Yun in confusion. "Mr. Xu, what is this?"
"I saw how much you seemed to like it, so I bought it without you noticing."
Xu Yun said, "I’m heading back tomorrow. Think of it as a gift. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Yu Xuan was speechless.
"I’m going to take a bath. There’s nothing else planned for this afternoon, so whether you go or stay is up to you."
With that, he got up and walked toward the upstairs bathroom.
A moment later, the sound of splashing water, loud and clear, could be heard.
Yu Xuan stood alone in the living room downstairs, staring at the Jade Bracelet in her hand, her eyes filled with conflict.
’No one gives you something this expensive for no reason.’
’What this Jade Bracelet implies... we’re both adults. We understand.’
’Xu Yun gave me a choice.’
’Either put down the bracelet and leave, or accept the bracelet and... accept.’
A moment later, she started walking upstairs, one step at a time.
Inside the bathroom, Xu Yun was lying in the large bathtub with his eyes closed, resting.
It was as if he was waiting for something.
’I’m conflicted about Yu Xuan.’
’The rational part of me hopes she can resist the temptation and stay true to her love.’
’But the selfish part of me hopes she’ll give in, be swayed by the money, and satisfy my desires.’
’I’m a bad person, using money to test someone’s character.’
’Then again, maybe I’m not so bad.’
’After all, I gave her the choice!’
A few minutes passed. When the bathroom door remained stubbornly shut, he felt a mix of happiness and disappointment.
Just as Xu Yun thought his wish for the day would go unfulfilled, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Yu Xuan had changed into a hotel bathrobe. On her right wrist, she wore the Jade Bracelet he had just given her. Her hair hung loosely as she walked, step by step, right up to him.
Then, the robe slipped off. She lifted her leg and stepped, naked, into the bathtub...
[You are not a bad person; you are a demon. The Host chose to Do as You Please, using money to tempt the weak-willed hotel butler and satisfy his own selfish desires. Reward: 500,000 in cash!]
[Bank Card Balance: 20,530,000]
Xu Yun looked at the woman before him, listened to the system’s reward notification, and reached out his hand...
Everything that followed happened without a word.
Only the water in the bathtub sloshed back and forth, unable to settle for a long, long time.
Two hours later, Yu Xuan emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Her face was flushed, her hair was a mess, and she had to lean against the door for support.
’A moment ago, I was so exhausted I almost drowned in that tub.’
She didn’t know what other men were like, but from her limited experience, Xu Yun was on a completely different level than her boyfriend.
"If you can’t walk, don’t force yourself."
Xu Yun spoke as he came out from behind her. He scooped her up in a princess carry and took her directly to his bedroom.
"What happened today was my fault."
Xu Yun stood to the side, saying guiltily, "I hope this won’t affect the relationship you have with your boyfriend."
"This has nothing to do with you."
Yu Xuan spoke as she got dressed. "This was my own choice."
"Alright, then."
Xu Yun said, "Have you considered changing jobs? You could earn more, and it might be easier."
Yu Xuan was baffled.
"I happen to be looking for a personal butler, or rather, a personal assistant."
Xu Yun said, "I think you’re quite good and very professional. There wouldn’t be much to do on a daily basis, just helping me handle and arrange some personal matters."
