In the villa suite, Gu Bai had just finished his bath and was draped in a bathrobe while lounging on the huge sofa, fiddling with his phone. But his thoughts were completely carried away by the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but to Gu Bai, it felt as long as half a century.
In his two lifetimes, it was the first time Gu Bai was tasting foreign seafood, and he was inevitably a bit excited.
When Dasha Talan walked out of the bathroom, her long chestnut hair was still wet, with water droplets continuously dripping down. Her white bathrobe covered the key parts of her body, and upon seeing Gu Bai lying on the sofa, her face was slightly flushed, possibly because she had just had a bath.
Seeing Dasha Talan coming out of the bathroom, Gu Bai’s tone carried a hint of command.
But Dasha Talan didn’t seem bothered at all; instead, she walked over to Gu Bai like an obedient little kitten, with light, graceful steps.
Looking at her delicate face.
Gu Bai couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Because she had just washed off her makeup, her smooth face was so clear that even the fine hairs were visible, pure and pristine. Her light blue eyes stared unblinkingly at Gu Bai, and perhaps because of the tension, her long lashes occasionally fluttered.
"You’ve received the money, right?"
Just an hour ago, Gu Bai had made an international transfer of $300,000 to Dasha Talan’s account. Since he was a private banking client at the Construction Bank, his annual overseas transfer limit was $10 million, and the process was handled very swiftly.
Upon hearing this, Dasha Talan picked up the phone beside her, checked the balance in her account, and nodded excitedly.
"I’ve fulfilled my promise. Now it’s time for you to complete your obligations." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
The next 400 words described the friendly interaction between Gu Bai and Dasha Talan.
The next day, when Gu Bai awoke, it was already past ten in the morning. He rubbed his slightly sore waist, glanced at the sleeping Dasha Talan beside him, and couldn’t resist reaching out to tweak her delicate nose.
Awakened, Dasha Talan opened her eyes and, upon seeing Gu Bai in front of her, a flicker of fear crossed her eyes.
Gu Bai caught this expression and couldn’t help but chuckle silently.
Originally, he thought foreign women were all warrior goddesses, beyond his ability to conquer. But to his surprise, the young Dasha Talan simply couldn’t withstand his challenge, surrendering before even three hundred rounds were over.
Gu Bai tried to make his tone sound a bit gentler.
Upon hearing this, Dasha Talan nodded with a trace of grievance, her cheeks lightly puffed, making her inexplicably cute.
Gu Bai couldn’t resist kissing her rosy lips before climbing out of bed.
"Get up, let’s go have a feast."
With that, they both began to wash and dress.
Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the room side by side, Dasha Talan holding Gu Bai’s arm. Despite her height of more than 1.7 meters, she displayed a tender demeanor that didn’t seem out of place at all.
Bringing her to the restaurant, the hotel waiter, who had a strong impression of this exceptionally handsome Eastern billionaire, quickly greeted Gu Bai.
Nodding slightly, Gu Bai led Dasha Talan to sit at the chairs by the dining table.
"Do you serve lunch now?"
"Our hotel’s lunch time starts at 11:30, but since you are our hotel’s distinguished villa suite guest, you can dine whenever you like."
The waiter replied respectfully with a slight bow.
"Then bring me your menu."
The waiter quickly handed the menu to Gu Bai.
Gu Bai flipped through it briefly and found that the dishes were rather ordinary, so he closed the menu and asked the waiter, "Does your hotel only have the food listed on this menu?"
The waiter, hearing the discontent in Gu Bai’s tone, immediately said, "I’m not quite sure, but I would be more than happy to report this issue to my superior. I’m sure he’ll give you a satisfactory answer."
With this gesture, the waiter quickly went off to report Gu Bai’s dissatisfaction.
Soon, the hotel’s client manager hurried over. Before Gu Bai could speak, he bowed and apologized.
"Mr. Gu, you are our most esteemed guest, and it’s our fault that you had an unsatisfactory experience. I wonder what you would like to eat. We will do our utmost to meet your needs."
Gu Bai made no effort to be polite, casually saying, "I heard that Italy has some kind of Alba White Truffle. I wonder if it’s available now?"
He had seen Alba White Truffle online once by chance, praised as a rare and precious treasure. Once, a 900-gram Alba White Truffle had been auctioned off for €100,000.
"Although it’s difficult, it is still obtainable. However, the price may..."
Before he could finish, Gu Bai interrupted him.
"Don’t worry about the price. If you have it, that’s enough."
"Understood, Mr. Gu. Are there any other requests?"
"Additionally, bring me a serving of London Aemas Caviar, and as for the other main courses, you can decide what to pair it with."
These were the most top-tier foods Gu Bai knew of, and since he was in Europe, he certainly wanted to sample them.
After stating his requests, Gu Bai turned to Dasha Talan, asking, "Is there anything you would like to eat?"
Dasha Talan was already astonished by the requests Gu Bai made earlier. She had, of course, heard of these foods, and ordering them would probably cost at least several tens of thousands of dollars, making it unimaginable for her, who had submitted to Gu Bai because of "poverty".
She shook her head gently.
"The foods you’ve mentioned are beyond my imagination, and I don’t have anything else I wish to eat. Besides, as you know, I’m a model, and maintaining my figure is my duty."
Since that was the case, Gu Bai did not insist, and he instructed the client manager to handle the arrangements.
"In the coming days, we might travel to several countries in Europe. Have you made it clear to your company?"
At Gu Bai’s question, Dasha Talan replied, "There’s no need. I don’t plan to return to that company."
Since receiving the $300,000 transferred by Gu Bai, she had been feeling affluent enough. The money was enough for her to splurge for quite some time, making it unnecessary to stay in that modeling company.
"Oh? What are you planning to do then?"
"I plan to first settle my family and then become a real model, instead of one who needs to sell her body to earn money."
After a slight pause, Gu Bai continued, "Have you considered developing your career in Hua Country?"
"Hua Country? Is there a market for models there?"
She wasn’t very familiar with Hua Country, and her tone was somewhat doubtful.
"Of course, we’ve had several top supermodels come from Hua Country."
Gu Bai thought Dasha Talan was the kind of person who seemed to be blessed in life.
Angel’s face, perfect body.
With a bit of grooming and styling, she could easily become one of the top supermodels in the world. Besides, for Gu Bai, Dasha Talan was already considered his woman, so naturally, he wanted to keep her by his side.
After thinking for a while, Dasha Talan neither agreed nor refused.
"After this trip to Italy, I plan to return home first to arrange things for my family. If I decide to go to Hua Country, I will definitely contact you."
"Then I am very much looking forward to that day."
More than half an hour passed, and the customer manager arrived with the hotel chef.
"Mr. Gu, our chef has completed the dishes as per your request."
With that, several waiters carrying trays placed the food in front of Gu Bai and Dasha Talan.
As the chef unveiled the trays, he introduced, "This is a seafood spaghetti with white truffle, using 6 grams of Alba White Truffle per serving, along with snow crab roe and the finest part of lobster tail. I believe this dish will definitely captivate your taste buds."
Gu Bai gestured for Dasha Talan to start eating, and he eagerly began to taste it himself.
To be honest, the flavor was quite good, but it didn’t have that extremely impressive taste, probably because Gu Bai couldn’t quite appreciate the unique flavor of truffles.
As for Dasha Talan, she was eating happily. At that moment, the taste didn’t matter anymore, because each bite felt like a mouthful of dollars.
"A serving of Aemas Caviar is packed into 24 grams, which I split into two portions, 12 grams each, and I haven’t done any processing. For such top-notch ingredients, preserving their original flavor is a way of respecting them."
Gu Bai, lacking a sense of ceremony, just popped half of it into his mouth like Zhu Bajie eating a human fruit.
The head chef, watching, couldn’t help but twitch the muscles in his face.
This was Aemas Caviar, 24 grams worth $25,000.
With that bite, Gu Bai downed several thousand dollars.
After eating, Gu Bai shook his head in disappointment.
It wasn’t particularly delicious; a bit salty, even less satisfying than skewers bought from street stalls.
The two of them spent $35,000 on that meal, with the most expensive part being consumed by the caviar.
