Chapter 23: Men and Women

A fair-haired and blue-eyed foreigner opened a bottle of wine and stood respectfully to the side.

He was well-trained and specifically assigned to important clients.

"Sir, this is a 1990 Burgundy wine from Roman Emperor Winery, with a very rich taste, selling for as high as three hundred thousand, but it's worth every penny!"

Three hundred thousand, and it's worth it.

If some people heard this, they would definitely give a loud slap. This is not three hundred or three thousand, but three hundred thousand!

For ordinary people, three hundred thousand may not be an astronomical figure, but it is definitely not a small amount.

But for the rich, it's just the price of a bottle of wine.

"Oh?" Ye Xuan smiled faintly, swaying the colorful wine in the crystal glass and asked, "Which one is better, this one or the '82 Lafite?"

The waiter pondered for a moment, "Both have their own characteristics. In terms of taste, the '82 Lafite is relatively better, but this Burgundy red wine is not much worse, and it is especially sweet when sipped. Overall, they each have their own merits."

Ye Xuan nodded in understanding, swaying the wine a few more times. Through the crimson liquid, the entire world seemed to exist within the wine glass, quiet, elegant, and comfortable.

Delicious food was neatly arranged in front of them, with cutlery ready for the host's tasting.

However, none of this could capture the beauty of the young lady at the table.

Tian An'an sat dignifiedly, occasionally revealing a sweet smile that was enough to make one's heart flutter.

Perhaps having had some wine, Tian An'an's cheeks were flushed, and at this moment, she looked exceptionally beautiful and enchanting, as if she had stepped out of a painting, captivating.

"An'an."

Ye Xuan softly spoke these two words, taking hold of her slender hands placed on the table, refusing to let go.

Tian An'an was startled by Ye Xuan's bold actions and reflexively attempted to withdraw her hand, but how could Ye Xuan allow her to do so?

To avoid an awkward situation, Ye Xuan spoke up again, "An'an, I have a gift for you."

With that, he took out a small gift box from his pocket.

He had asked the salesperson at the mall that morning to help him purchase it, all to give her a surprise.

Upon seeing the exquisite gift box, Tian An'an was also captivated and asked curiously, "What is this?"

As for the hand that was being held, she didn't seem to mind now and even reciprocated, holding Ye Xuan's hand intimately.

Instead of answering Tian An'an's question, Ye Xuan mysteriously said, "You'll know when you open it."

"Wow!"

As the gift box was opened, a beautiful necklace was revealed.

Eighteen diamonds on it were shining continuously, sparkling brilliantly under the light, extraordinarily beautiful.

The silver necklace perfectly adorned these diamonds, making them look even more complete.

"What a beautiful necklace!" Tian An'an exclaimed, her eyes filled with affection.

Women, particularly when it comes to things that are shiny and luminous, have no resistance. Her entire gaze was captivated by the necklace, and for a moment, she couldn't pull herself away.

"Good to know you like it," Ye Xuan said calmly with a smile, standing up from his seat. "Let me help you put it on then."

"Okay!" Tian An'an murmured softly, her voice very low, exuding an unprecedented shyness but filled with sweetness. Ye Xuan had actually bought a diamond necklace when she wasn't looking, which was quite a surprise.

Such a man was indeed a perfect lover.

Not only was he handsome and wealthy, but he also knew how to be romantic.

Ye Xuan stood behind Tian An'an, slipping the diamond necklace over her beautiful collarbone.

With such close proximity, accidental contact was inevitable. When the two brushed against each other, the touch of her fair skin felt silky smooth, causing Tian An'an's whole body to tremble slightly.

Seeing the cute girl struggling to hold back, it was somewhat amusing.

"All set!" Ye Xuan fastened the clasp of the diamond necklace in the back and said gently, "This necklace complements you perfectly, fully showcasing your flawless beauty."

Tian An'an blushed persistently, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Splash!"

Suddenly, Tian An'an stood up and kissed Ye Xuan on the face.

"Oops! I just got ambushed."

Ye Xuan touched the still damp areas and made an expression of speechlessness. Why did women always like to catch people off guard? Why not just have a straightforward and real confrontation?

Looking at Tian An'an's current appearance, a wicked smile crept onto his face.

In a low voice, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Good, I'm good."

Although Ye Xuan didn't know why he asked, he was sure that nothing good would come out of his expression.

"Then let's go!"

After swiping the card, Ye Xuan grabbed the other person and hurried towards the car.

With a flaming passion burning inside him, he paid little regard to anything else.

"Vroom!"

The sound of the car's engine roared through the entire street, utilizing its full power as it sped towards a nearby upscale hotel.

Speeding, drunk driving, heh, these were just restrictions for ordinary people.

For someone like him, as long as he had connections, it was just a matter of words.

Hunger and lust, this phrase couldn't be more accurate.

Moreover, they were both young, not yet married, so there was nothing wrong with doing things they liked.

In the hotel room, the two embraced passionately, their disheveled clothes scattered all over the floor.

They engaged in an unsightly battle.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning, with Tian An'an pleading bitterly, that the two finally fell into a deep sleep.

...

Early the next morning, the two woke up one after another.

Tian An'an nudged Ye Xuan. As a woman who could get into college, as long as she wasn't a bookworm, she naturally was very smart.

For a man like Ye Xuan, it was clear that he couldn't belong to her alone in the future. The more one tried to confine a person, the opposite effect it would have.

Since she had decided to give her first time to him, she had naturally thought about this, because she didn't want to share with others. The principle of "Easier to relax than to be rigid" was understood.

With this kind of tolerance, she could easily tie herself to him, even if she wanted to break free, she would need to think it through.

Of course, it didn't mean she didn't care about other women around Ye Xuan. She was human and got jealous, but as long as he treated her well, it was enough.

Men, especially powerful men, would have more women around them. She couldn't control it and shouldn't. It was better to go with the flow.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, she had some understanding of Ye Xuan's personality and had a general idea about what kind of man he was.

This kind of person couldn't be controlled by any woman. If she insisted on doing so, it was highly likely that she would be pushed away and completely separated from him.

It was better to be a well-behaved girl.

"Awake!"

Ye Xuan opened his slightly dazed eyes and looked at the woman in his arms.

"Yeah."

Tian An'an smiled gently, exuding charm.
