This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

An hour later, sitting on the couch in front of the window, he deliberated, 'Hmm, I bet drinking a cup of tea while appreciating the outside view would be quite enjoyable…' As this notion had already taken root within his head, directly picking the phone, he called the room service and ordered, "Please send the best tea you have to my room."

…

Knock! Knock!

"Room service." A few minutes later, a voice was heard from outside the door.

Realizing his tea had arrived, without any delay, Virus granted permission, "Come on in!"

Creak~

A few moments after the door was opened, a cup of tea was gently placed in front of him.

"Please enjoy your tea, sir."

Catching this familiar voice, however, Virus turned his head upward only to realize the other person was, in fact, the same Chinese beauty from before!

Simultaneously, Hu Yuexin's eyes also went wide-open as she wondered, 'It's him! It's that foreigner who punched Fan Tong!'

Nevertheless, acting as if he didn't recognize her at all, glancing at the tea already placed in front of him, Virus just asked, "Hmm, what tea is this?"

Hearing this, taking on a very professional yet elegant pose, the Chinese rose began explaining, "This is a cup of Da Hong Pao tea produced from China's ancient bushes of Da Hong Pao. Astonishingly, this tea is one of the most expensive teas in the world, costing more than 30 times its weight in gold."

"Oh, is that so?" Moved by the elaboration and background of the tea, picking up his cup of tea, Virus took a sniff of the scent of the said tea first before proceeding and taking a small sip.

Afterward, nodding his head in satisfaction, he started complimenting it, "Oh, it's really fragrant, I like its taste too… a good tea indeed."

He also couldn't stop himself from murmuring, "This would've been even more wonderful if it was prepared using the Water of Life though…"

"What did you say, sir? What's Water of Life?" Puzzled by his words, Hu Yuexin questioned casually.

"Oh, nothing… I was talking to myself." Shaking his head, he didn't continue talking.

Putting on a respectful tone, she said, "I see. If there's anything else you need, I'm at your service, sir. But if there's nothing else, I'll be dismissing myself for the moment."

And after mumbling this, she was just about to turn around and leave, when she was interrupted by Virus' next phrase, "Please sit down."

Addled by his request, thinking she had heard wrong, Hu Yuexin questioned, "Excuse me, sir? Were you talking to me?"

In response to that, casually signaling to the other side of the same couch he was sitting on, he declared graciously, "Yes. Please sit here. I've something to ask."

After listening to this odd demand of his, honestly, she wanted to straight away reject since it was quite unprofessional of her to sit down beside a guest, but remembering how every request and order of those staying at the most luxurious Presidential Suite had to be followed, even in case they ordered her to bring a certain food from a restaurant on the other side of the city, she could only heed the words and sit down just as she was told.

"Please go on, sir. I'll answer everything to the best of my capabilities."

"Hmm, good. First of all, what happened to that man?" Not beating around the bush at all, Virus queried.

Although hearing this question felt kind of weird to her, she still answered it patiently, "Fan Tong? He never woke up, so the hotel called the hospital… he was taken away by an ambulance."

"I see… then, my next question is… are you going to accept that guy's proposal when he wakes up? Are you going to sleep with him?" Locking his gaze at her expression, he enquired at once.

This in return, instantly forced a bothered frown to appear on Hu Yuexin's brows as she stated her complaint, "I apologize for my temper in advance, sir, but I'm not comfortable talking about something so personal with a customer… since honestly, it's none of your business. So, I would appreciate it if you don't ask about my private life."

Drinking another sip from the tea, however, without being offended in the least, Virus opened his mouth again, "Well, that would've been the case indeed if my companions and I weren't pulled into the drama. But since we 'were' involved 'within' the environment of the hotel itself, now that we're not pursuing the matter in any way and since we're also not seeking any kind of apology whatsoever, don't you think you at least owe this much explanation?"

This particular rationale of his promptly made Hu Yuexin speechless because looking at the situation from the perspective of the hotel, every word of his was indeed correct and logical. So, if she wasn't looking for trouble with the hotel, she had to respond.

'I need this job…' as this crucial notion went through her mind, she started talking with a frown, "I'm not gonna accept the proposal of that sick bastard, sir. I've reached this decision because I feel like the advice of that lady companion of yours did make a lot of sense. So there's no need for you to be concerned. Also, I feel disgusted by that man in particular, to be truthful, so I can't bring myself to go through this type of suffering and torture. But I swear on my life that I would find another way in order to save my son. Now, did my reply satiate your curiosity, sir?"

Perceiving the sarcastic way she spoke easily which was also ridiculing him subtly, Virus could only burst into a peal of laughter, "Haha… it did, it did satisfy my curiosity! So now, you're looking for another way, huh…?" However, phrasing the second part of his sentence forced an amused glimmer to flicker within his eyes as an entertaining yet wicked idea took shape within his mind. He was sensing something fun.

And with that, much to the stupefaction Hu Yuexin who was sitting on the other side of the same couch, he abruptly threw himself on her, forcing her to lean back while both of his hands were covering and surrounding each side of her, thus preventing her from escaping or liberating herself.

Then, looking down at her irresistible countenance, as their faces were in extremely close proximity, with an evil grin plastered over his face, Virus whispered, "Here's an alternate option for you… me."
