Chapter 151: Such all-night heart-to-hearts are truly exhausting.
"Splash!"
The sound of rushing water filled the room as the bathtub began to fill. The thick, swirling mist gradually blurred the surface of the mirror, charging the air with an unmistakable sense of intimacy.
Wen Wan was in the dressing room, selecting a special outfit to wear.
Chen Luo sat in a chair, observing his surroundings, and couldn't help but feel that his imagination had been far too limited. In his previous life, he had never visited a themed hotel, knowing of them only through the internet. Yet, the room he found himself in today was truly breathtaking.
The entire space was a luxury suite, measuring about sixty square meters, divided into three distinct areas.
In the center sat the main bed—though strictly speaking, it wasn't a bed at all, but a massive, pink pumpkin carriage. Steps led up to it, and inside the carriage lay an enormous mattress, illuminated by multicolored lights that radiated an atmosphere of pure sensuality. Several pillows were scattered about, and the interior walls of the carriage were fitted with various hand straps, clearly designed for adventurous use.
Another area was dedicated to bathing, featuring a massive tub surrounded by statues of men and women intertwined in various suggestive poses. Hanging around the bathtub were all manner of outfits: swimsuits, school-style swimwear, bikinis, and even a Rei Ayanami-themed cosplay swimsuit from *Evangelion*. The mere sight of these arrangements was enough to set one’s imagination running wild and stir up a deep sense of desire.
But the final area was the most provocative: the "play zone." It was stocked with an array of props, from specialized chairs to machines and various other items too explicit to describe, all of which made it impossible not to feel an immediate urge to act on those impulses.
*Wait a minute,* Chen Luo thought. *We agreed on a sweet, ordinary college couple's date, didn't we? This isn't right! I just wanted to book a normal room, hold my sweet, soft Wan'er in my arms, and talk through the night!*
"What's wrong, babe? Are you uncomfortable?"
Wen Wan’s voice drifted over. Chen Luo turned his head, intending to say something, but he gasped instead.
"Wan'er, this is..."
Wen Wan stood before him, clad in a tight, low-cut leather outfit that accentuated every curve of her body perfectly. Below, she wore a short leather skirt accented by a belt adorned with numerous tiny pockets and buckles. Her long, alluring legs were encased in sleek, glossy black stockings. In her hand, she held a black leather whip, and atop her head sat a black cap reminiscent of a police officer’s. She radiated the aura of a queen.
"How is it? I picked it out specifically. Do you like it?"
Wen Wan walked toward Chen Luo, her eyes glinting with a dangerous allure. As she moved, she casually picked up a few small toys and attached them to her belt.
"No, Wan'er, listen to me. I really just wanted to come up here to sleep."
Chen Luo retreated step by step, feeling that the Wen Wan before him was far too dangerous. *With this setup, she wouldn't actually use that whip on me, would she?* Then, a sudden, small flicker of anticipation stirred within him. *Wait, what am I thinking?*
"Thud!"
His heels hit something. Chen Luo looked back to find that he had backed into the steps of the pumpkin carriage.
"Let’s see where you can run now."
As Chen Luo turned back, Wen Wan was already right in front of him. With a sudden spring, she pounced, pinning him down onto the soft bed inside the carriage.
The two bounced slightly on the plush mattress as Wen Wan wrapped her arms tightly around him. The sensation of the leather against his skin sent a jolt of electricity through Chen Luo.
"Wan'er, wait, that..."
"Babe, I really love this date today."
"You... as long as you're happy."
At that moment, Wen Wan suddenly relaxed, her red, alluring lips brushing against his earlobe.
"I’ve never experienced love like this in my student days—so relaxed, so wonderful."
Feeling the unprecedented sense of ease in Wen Wan, Chen Luo raised his arms and gently held her.
"Yes, as long as you like it. I’ll arrange dates like this often in the future."
"Alright, let's move on to the next item on the agenda. A 'pure love' night of deep conversation—I have so many topics I want to talk to you about."
"No rush, no rush. Let's take care of the serious business first."
As she spoke, Wen Wan’s hand reached toward Chen Luo’s belt.
"Huh? Isn't the serious business just talking?"
"It is, very simple. It might just involve a bit more physical activity." She looked up, a wicked curve playing on her lips. "I told you, didn't I? You’re simple, but my intentions for you are anything but!"
"Snap!"
The whip cracked through the air with a crisp sound. Wen Wan stood up straight, looking down at Chen Luo from her superior position.
"Next, the next program: serve your Queen Majesty well!"
Seeing how happy Wen Wan was, Chen Luo’s tension vanished instantly. *Perhaps this is good for her condition,* he thought. *Whatever. My lower back, my brother, you’re going to have to work hard again today!*
"Yes, yes, yes, your Queen Majesty! This servant obeys!"
"Commencing the overnight 'deep conversation' program!"
Before long, the pumpkin carriage began to sway violently, and it didn't stop for a very long time. This kind of conversation was, admittedly, quite physically demanding.
...
3:30 AM, Ye Group Headquarters.
"Chairwoman Ye! The rebuttal statement is ready for your review."
"Chairwoman Ye, we’ve traced the opponent's IP. It’s in Hangzhou, inside the Wanluo Group. We are currently launching a full-scale attack on their firewall."
"The influencers who participated in the reposting have been handled; they are currently retracting their posts."
"The finance team is mobilizing capital; we will do our utmost to stabilize the stock price tomorrow!"
"Heads of all departments are on a 24-hour rotation to handle any potential impact."
Ye Linna looked at the exhausted department heads before her, feeling a sense of gratification. Despite the sudden crisis, her team had handled it perfectly. She hadn't wasted all these years of grooming them.
"Good. You’ve all worked hard. Go get some rest; we’ll continue tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Chairwoman Ye. We’re leaving."
As the group walked out of the office, yawning, Assistant Lin approached her.
"Chairwoman Ye, you should go home and rest too."
"Hmm, I’m fine." Ye Linna was exhausted, but a fire of indignation still burned within her. "We’ve done so much. Have Chen Luo and Wen Wan ended their date and been called into their company to work overtime yet?"
"Er, well..." Assistant Lin glanced at his phone, hesitating.
"What are you stuttering for? Speak."
"Well, Chairwoman Ye, Chen Luo and President Wen checked into the... the Violet... Themed Hotel... two hours ago."
"What?! I’ve been beaten to a pulp by them, working overtime in the middle of the night until now!"
"And they actually went to a hotel at a time like this! A themed hotel at that!!!"
"Chen Luo! You son of a b*tch, you really know how to play!"
