By 4 PM, Shen Lang had managed to drag Su Lexuan into the shower with him. Afterward, he cozied up to her, awkwardly walked with her to the front desk to check out.
The front desk clerk was still the same one from last night.
The hotel clerk, being quite professional, noticed Su Lexuan's flushed face and somewhat strange walk, immediately guessing what had happened.
This blossoming young woman had definitely become a woman now.
"What a shame," the clerk thought, "with looks and a body like hers, she could have found a wealthy, handsome guy. Why settle for this guy who might be a jerk?"
"She might regret it in a few years for giving her youth to this guy without much thought."
The clerk, having worked in this city for many years, had seen it all and didn't let her thoughts show. She maintained a business-like smile while processing Shen Lang's checkout.
However, Su Lexuan felt the clerk's gaze was judging her. Adding to her own guilty feelings, she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
"Thank you."
After checking out, Shen Lang held Su Lexuan's hand and led her to the elevator to the parking garage.
Once they were in the elevator, a nearby female staff member whispered.
"Girl, let me tell you, this guy's definitely very skilled in bed."
"Seriously? How can you tell if he hasn't even taken his clothes off?"
"Why would I lie? I've dealt with so many guests; I know what I'm talking about."
"Alright, enough talking. Go grab some breakfast. It's Monday and there aren't many people around. I'll cover for you."
"Got it."
About half an hour later, the hotel's front desk phone rang. It was the housekeeping staff.
"Front desk, front desk, there's something left in room 0219."
"What is it?"
The clerk was distracted, thinking about the couple from earlier.
"It seems to be a property deed."
"A property deed?"
The clerk was puzzled. Why would someone bring a property deed to a hotel? Were they so serious about each other that they had already bought a house and were just waiting for the girl's approval?
"Alright, bring it down."
The clerk didn't think much of it and hung up. It was common for guests to leave odd items behind on weekends, but a property deed was a first for her.
A few minutes later, the housekeeper brought a red property deed to the front desk with a hearty smile.
"Found it in the drawer. Young people these days are so careless. Bringing something so valuable to a hotel and leaving it around."
"Ha, yeah."
The clerk took the property deed with a faint smile and said, "Thanks, Auntie. I'll call the owner."
Once the housekeeper left, the clerk opened the guest records and dialed Shen Lang's number.
"Hello, Mr. Shen? You checked out today and seem to have left a property deed at our hotel?"
"Damn! Yes, I left it. I'll come back to get it."
"Alright."
The clerk, curious, glanced at the property deed. "Where did this guy buy a house?"
Looking at the vast 710 square meters listed on the deed, she thought, "I'd be willing to follow this guy to the hotel too."
A 710-square-meter house, even in the most remote areas of Jianghai City, would be worth at least ten million!
"This is just fate," she thought, closing the deed carefully, worried she might leave any trace.
"Wait!"
The clerk's eyes widened in disbelief as she quickly flipped open the deed again, focusing on the gilded text at the top.
"Jiu Jian Tang Villa District?!"
As a local, she knew all about the city's most luxurious and expensive villa district.
"I heard the price there is around 500,000 per square meter. So 710 square meters would be... 35 million!"
Trembling, the clerk swallowed hard, unable to believe the property deed was worth over a billion. It felt like she'd uncovered some huge secret.
About twenty minutes later, Shen Lang arrived at the hotel and went straight to the front desk.
"Hi, I'm Shen. I got a call about a lost item."
"Mr. Shen, you're here!"
The clerk, now all smiles, cheerfully handed Shen Lang the property deed, walking gracefully in her black stockings and high heels.
"This is your property deed. Please... ah..."
She awkwardly twisted her ankle and fell to the ground, her position giving Shen Lang an unobstructed view of her deep cleavage.
"Ouch, that hurts..." she grimaced, rubbing her ankle and hoping Shen Lang would come to her aid.
Seeing through her clumsy act, Shen Lang chuckled and offered to help her up. "Are you okay?"
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine."
The clerk, still not giving up, subtly touched Shen Lang's palm as she handed over the property deed and flashed a shy, demure smile.
