Chapter 341 is no joke
When we arrived at Wuhai's home, the sun was setting perfectly.
Bai Li scanned her face with practiced ease and smoothly entered Wu Hai's house.
The two houses are so close together, facing each other, and the owners are very close, so much so that each house has the other's fingerprints and faces on its doors.
I don’t know when it started, but Bai Li has become able to do this, without even having to greet anyone, and just walk straight into the house like a second owner.
Although the gate and wall still exist physically and serve a certain blocking function, they have essentially ceased to exist in a sense.
Habits are a terrible thing, so much so that Bai Li didn't realize that such intimate actions had far exceeded the scope of ordinary business partners.
The maid working at Wu Hai's house was not surprised to see Bai Li and greeted her naturally: "Miss Bai, good day. The young master is on the first basement floor. Would you like me to take you there?"
"Thank you, no need." Bai Li nodded and smiled.
During the phone call just now, the background music on the other end of the line in Wuhai was jazz music, which she recognized as the sound system from the basement of his house.
Ordinary people enjoy natural scenery and the pleasure of feeling the breeze and basking in the sun.
Wu Hai, however, prefers to be alone indoors in dim lighting, listening to music and having a drink.
When Bai Li discovered his "dark" side, she tried to understand it.
Later, I discovered that in such an environment, the noise of the world was indeed much less, and I could indeed temporarily gain some peace. Gradually, I also came to like this way of relaxing.
The basement of Wu Hai's house is extremely spacious.
He didn't like the constraints of walls, so he knocked down all the partition walls in his house that could be removed, leaving only a few load-bearing walls that couldn't be removed.
The entire basement floor is filled with various comfortable furniture, allowing people to sit, lie down, or relax anytime, anywhere. There is also an entire wall of wine cabinets.
If I had to describe it, this place would be a sinful land where people forget their homeland and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
When Bai Li arrived, the indoor lighting was soft, and the air purifiers throughout the house were working silently, emitting almost imperceptible low-frequency vibrations. Even so, the air was still filled with the rich aroma of top-quality cigars and whiskey.
She looked in the direction of the smell.
Wu Hai leaned against the bar, gently swirling the crystal glass in his hand to the accompaniment of melodious jazz music.
Seeing her arrive, he put down his wine glass, his smile deepening, and rested his chin on his hand as he looked at her: "You came so quickly, Little Pear, how much did you miss me?"
Bai Li ignored his teasing and went straight to the point, saying as they walked, "Xiao Yuan's pre-orders are three times more than before. I need to activate the factories in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia ahead of schedule. Do you have a way to get green channels from customs in those two places?"
Sylas managed to sabotage himself in the early game, but if his production capacity can't keep up, all his advantages could vanish.
Wu Hai handed the wine he had prepared to Bai Li, listening quietly to her request with focused eyes, which eventually settled into a look of appreciation.
He liked her like this, like a drawn blade, sharp and piercing, with a clear goal and a powerful sense of control.
He was willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with her in the business world and wholeheartedly protect her.
Meeting Bai Li's earnest gaze, Wu Hai spoke calmly, "It's a small matter. Global Shipping's warehousing and logistics system can streamline everything for your factory within 24 hours. The head of Caribbean Freeport is someone I personally promoted, and the Wu family's old network of connections in Southeast Asia is deeply entrenched."
He stood up, his tall figure looming over him.
Bai Li leaned against the bar, listening to his reply. Her tense nerves relaxed slightly because of his promise, and she didn't notice the darkness in Wu Hai's eyes at this moment.
She took a sip of the wine he offered, and was about to ask about the type when she looked up and met a pair of eerie eyes, which seemed to be suppressing a glint of excitement.
Bai Li then noticed that Wu Hai was too close, but her back was already against the bar, with nowhere to retreat. The nerves that had just relaxed in her heart tightened again involuntarily. She raised her eyebrows, looked directly at Wu Hai's face that was getting closer and closer, and asked silently with her eyes: What do you want to do?
Wu Hai braced himself against the bar, encircling her between his arms and the counter, gazing down at her intently.
Since she was at home, Wu Hai wasn't wearing makeup; she was just showing her natural beauty, which was still impeccable even from such a close-up "death angle."
Seeing that Bai Li showed no sign of backing down, Wu Hai chuckled. Someone used to be afraid of him and wary of him, but now that she has grown up, she has become much bolder. Not only is she not afraid of his approach, but she even seems to be gaining the upper hand.
Instead of being annoyed, Wuhai felt a sense of triumph from being conquered.
He loved seeing her let her guard down and trust him completely, and he reveled in this natural intimacy.
but……
Gradually, he seemed to be no longer satisfied with this kind of relationship, and the more secret desire in his heart grew deeper and deeper, becoming insatiable.
He leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her: "Little Pear, I helped you solve the production capacity problem this time, how... are you going to thank me?"
The airflow near her ear made Bai Li's heart skip a beat for no apparent reason.
She thought she had completely figured out Wu Hai's temperament and was already very familiar with their business dealings and exchanges of interests. But the more she understood him, the clearer she became of how strange Wu Hai was acting at this moment.
She suddenly turned her head and met Wu Hai's undisguised possessiveness and expectation.
This scene suddenly reminded her of the night on Monte Carlo Island when Wu Hai dressed up as a siren.
Back then, he was the same way, dressed alluringly, using his good looks to his advantage. Even though he had no feelings for me, he would pretend to be deeply infatuated, trying to lure me into his trap.
what's the situation?
It's been so long?
Is Wuhai still testing me?
"Xiao Hao, how much favorability do you have with Wu Hai?"
Xiao Hao replied, "It's 70 points, host."
Bai Li: "...?"
When did you reach 70 points?
How come I didn't know?
Could it be that they took advantage of me while I was asleep again?
So she didn't hear at all?
70 points...that's already within my liking range.
This time… Wu Hai… is he serious?! He's not joking?!
