I am not just a tycoon

Wei Ya was clad in a tight-fitting hip-hugging skirt, her gait a sultry sway, revealing the full curves of her behind, while the black stockings below afforded a hint of untold fantasies.

Shen Yuan felt as though he was Tang Sanzang, having fallen into the Cave of the Silken Web, with spider demons lurking with desire all around him.

But he fancied himself a darker version of Tang Sanzang, the kind who could devour a spider demon, with the choice to feast and the method of consumption solely up to him.

While riding the elevator, Wei Ya asked with a smile, "Mr. Shen, would you like me to introduce our hotel and the room type you've booked?"

"Sure."

"Firstly, Mr. Shen, Bulgari is a renowned luxury brand from Italy, part of the LVMH Group, known initially for its jewelry and accessories. Since 2001, Bulgari began venturing into the luxury hotel business."

"The Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai opened in 2018 and consists of two parts: one is the Commerce Tower where we completed your check-in, and the other is this 48-story Bulgari Building. The top eight floors comprise the main body of the Bulgari Hotel."

"The hotel has 82 rooms and also offers a range of services including accommodation, dining, spa, and fitness facilities. The fitness area and swimming pool are located on B1 floor, spanning an area of 2,000 square meters."

"..."

Upon reaching the 45th floor, Wei Ya had pretty much covered the background and details of the hotel, and after passing through the carpeted corridor, they finally arrived at the suite Shen Yuan had booked.

Wei Ya opened the door for Shen Yuan and continued, "Mr. Shen, this is the room type you have booked, the Deluxe Bund View Room."

"Among our most expensive room types, it spans 120 square meters, including two bedrooms. The living room offers a 270-degree view of the Bund, which is even more beautiful at night," Wei Ya introduced with a playful smile.

Shen Yuan hummed in acknowledgment, following Wei Ya into the room. If the Waldorf in Yanjing was a blend of modern and classical, then Bulgari was a fusion of luxury and art.

With pale yellow walls, sleek ceilings, oak desks, and the only striking touch—a crimson sofa, but even that didn't disrupt the overall elegance of the room.

The view from the window was rather nice.

Having previously stayed in the Courtyard Suite at the Waldorf in Yanjing and experiencing the strong local flavor and natural connection, he was now high up in the architectural layers of Shanghai. So when the entire Bund came into view, especially the Oriental Pearl right across, he felt an indescribable sense of gratification.

"Mr. Shen, Bulgari has one of Shanghai's finest views of the external landscape, allowing one to overlook the entire Bund, including landmarks like the Central Tower, Global Financial Center, Jinmao Building, and the Oriental Pearl," Wei Ya politely introduced as an employee who was accustomed to such sights.

"That is indeed nice."

Shen Yuan nodded. The visual presentation would likely be even better at night, with the buildings illuminated by lights, wearing coats of various colors—a sight both dazzling and dreamlike.

After inspecting the living room and bedrooms, Shen Yuan proceeded to the bathroom and was surprised to find it was no smaller than the bedroom and, like the living room, featured 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Mr. Shen, the bathroom is integrated with the dressing table over here, and there's also a bathtub. At night, one can bathe while sipping red wine and admiring the Shanghai night view," said Wei Ya as she sat beside the bathtub, offering a charming smile.

Shen Yuan smirked playfully, "With such a large bathtub and the beautiful night view, it would be a pity to bathe alone."

"What would you suggest then, Mr. Shen?"

Wei Ya batted her eyelashes flirtatiously, but before Shen Yuan could respond, she quickly changed the subject, "We also have professional spa and massage therapists, but whether they'll join you for a bath depends on their willingness."

"We'll see."

Sure enough, another veteran... Shen Yuan didn't engage further, went over to the floor-to-ceiling window to take in the city view for a while, and then left the bathroom, casually dropping a line:

"That's enough for me—I'm going to take a nap now. You can go about your work, Wei Ya; I'll call you if I need anything."

Wei Ya paused in surprise, not expecting to be dismissed so suddenly. Had she not fully unleashed her charm?

Those who stayed at Bulgari were either rich or esteemed, especially those who could afford a Deluxe Bund View Suite at a five-figure per night rate.

Clearly, Mr. Shen had wealth, age, and appearance on his side.

A flicker of regret crossed Wei Ya's eyes. She had always been confident in her figure and looks, and yet she was sent away just like that.

Mr. Shen hadn't brought a woman with him and didn't seem to show any interest in her.

Could he be... not straight?

But since he had spoken, there was nothing Wei Ya could do. She left the bathroom and, upon entering the bedroom where Shen Yuan was, said:

"Then I'll take my leave, Mr. Shen. Rest well, and call me anytime if you need anything."

While Shen Yuan was arranging his luggage, he heard her and straightforwardly showed her to the door.

Just as Wei Ya was about to step out, Shen Yuan gave her buttocks a light smack, "Get some rest, too."

Wei Ya's cheeks flushed with surprise and embarrassment. Not expecting such a sudden gesture.

But without it, she might have continued to think Shen Yuan wasn't interested in women.

"Are you not leaving yet, or are you waiting for me to devour you?"

Shen Yuan looked at her with an amused expression.

Thrown off balance by his action, Wei Ya fled the room in haste. Yet her heart was still pounding all the way to the elevator.
