Hearing the room arrangement, Jaden Yan silently blamed Luna Zhou. Too many coincidences might make others suspicious.
"You're lucky; these are the last two rooms available this period," the staff member said with a smile.
"Haha, looks like we're lucky," Jaden Yan said, relieved. The staff's explanation gave him a perfect excuse.
Jenny Ye didn't ask further, smiling at Jaden Yan before entering her room.
Jaden Yan closed the door and immediately messaged Luna Zhou: "The package is secured." This was to let her know everything was going according to plan.
It was already late when they arrived at the resort, so they rested briefly before heading to dinner.
Jaden Yan stayed calm in his room, not in a hurry. He opened the laptop Luna Zhou had prepared, started a document, and played a game.
It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door. Jaden Yan smiled, closed the game, leaving only the document with various data open.
When the knock came again, he slowly went to open the door.
As expected, Jenny Ye was at the door, looking slightly annoyed at the wait.
"What were you doing?" Jenny Ye asked, frowning.
"Sorry, I had some work to finish. Are we going to dinner now?" Jaden Yan apologized with a smile, stepping aside to let her see the data-filled laptop.
Her outfit caught his eye. In such a short time, Jenny Ye had changed clothes. Was it necessary to wear an evening gown at a resort?
The violet evening dress made her look elegant, with a deep V neckline revealing a lot of fair skin, attracting his gaze.
"It's fine. You're still working? No wonder you can run your own company," Jenny Ye's annoyance disappeared upon seeing his laptop.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Jaden Yan couldn't help but ask, averting his gaze from the tempting sight.
"How do I look? Pretty?" Jenny Ye asked, raising her hand, interested in his reaction.
"You look great," Jaden Yan replied, blushing, and closed the laptop.
It was just for show. If Jenny Ye saw anything, he couldn't explain.
"Why are you blushing? Haven't seen a woman dressed like this?" Jenny Ye teased, following him into the room.
"Not like this, not on someone as beautiful as you," Jaden Yan complimented without looking up.
As he turned after closing the laptop, Jenny Ye slipped on her dress and almost fell.
Quickly, Jaden Yan caught her, holding her in a dance-like pose.
In the room, they looked like they were dancing, the woman leaning back in the man's arms, their eyes meeting deeply.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and a heartbeat could be heard.
"Are you okay?" Jaden Yan asked with concern.
"I'm fine... Thank you," Jenny Ye blushed, suddenly feeling shy and avoiding his gaze.
"Good. Can you stand up now?" Jaden Yan asked seriously. Holding this pose was uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but see her breast, not knowing where to look.
"Sorry," Jenny Ye stood up, checking her dress for damage and sighing in relief.
"See, it's hard to walk in that dress. It's just dinner; no need to dress so formally," Jaden Yan shrugged.
"No way. Just hold me a bit. At a resort like this, you have to dress up. You'll see, most women in the restaurant will be dressed like me," Jenny Ye confidently replied.
Jaden Yan hadn't been to such places and didn't know the rules. He thought women only dressed like this for grand events.
Checking his watch, he extended his hand with a smile, "It's late. Miss, would you join me for dinner?"
Jaden Yan's sudden gentlemanly behavior made Jenny Ye smile, placing her hand in his.
At the resort's restaurant, Jaden Yan found it just as she said. Women were in evening gowns or beautiful dresses, competing in elegance. Men were in suits, looking polite.
The array of beautiful women left Jaden Yan dazzled. Delivering food to a beautiful client was a topic for delivery men, let alone this scene.
He hadn't expected the resort to turn dinner into a banquet.
Their appearance drew attention, the handsome man and beautiful woman looking like a perfect couple.
The restaurant's guests seemed to know each other in small groups, with some sociable men mingling around.
Jaden Yan felt a bit out of place but stayed calm, recalling movie scenes and leading Jenny Ye to a small table.
"What would you like to eat?" Jaden Yan noticed a table full of delicacies nearby.
"I eat little at night. Just get something simple," Jenny Ye smiled, glancing at a nearby waiter.
The restaurant had many waiters to assist guests, even fetching food if needed.
Jaden Yan's offer to get food seemed gentlemanly to Jenny Ye.
He didn't realize this, treating the banquet like a buffet.
There were many options, and he picked some, considering Jenny Ye's words. Women often ate fruit for dieting, so he chose some carefully.
On his way back, Jaden Yan noticed a familiar woman, feeling she looked like Sherry Nie.
But Sherry was supposed to be on a business trip. Was he mistaken?
It wasn't the time to think about it. He frowned slightly and returned to Jenny Ye.
