549: 481 To Be a Gentlemen (Thanks for the Reward!) 549: 481 To Be a Gentlemen (Thanks for the Reward!) The unique fragrances of a young girl mixed with the allure of perfume formed an irresistible, unique scent.
Jiang Chen held his breath for a moment, glancing at the hand gently clasping his arm.
The subtle cultural traditions ingrained in him made this level of physical contact somewhat uncomfortable, after all, it was their first meeting.
But there was an old saying.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
The main building of the mansion was quite imposing, inside the bright and luxurious hall, two couples were sitting and chatting.
The atmosphere was filled with sexual tension.
One of the men even had his hand on his companion’s smooth thigh, they were so engrossed that they didn’t even notice Jiang Chen and Vera entering.
This was the behind-the-scenes world of the entertainment and fashion industry.
Jiang Chen remained poker-faced, while Vera didn’t so much as glance in that direction.
Perhaps in her eyes, these scenes were all too common.
“Let’s go upstairs.”
Upstairs?
Was there no restroom on the first floor?
Before Jiang Chen could respond, Vera gently tugged his arm towards the staircase.
“Clack, clack, clack…”
Her silver high heels clicked crisply against the marble steps.
Jiang Chen was clearly here for the first time, but Vera seemed very familiar with the place.
“Oh…huh…”
As they passed by a room, Jiang Chen vaguely heard a man’s intake of breath from behind the door, filled with excitement and pleasure.
Then came a series of indistinct noises.
As if something had been pushed against a wall.
After that.
“Mmm-hmm…”
The suppressed moans of a woman, like she was covering her mouth, began to rise.
Jiang Chen involuntarily looked towards that door, his expression odd.
Logically speaking.
Such a high-end mansion shouldn’t have such poor soundproofing.
Could it be.
It was intentionally designed to create a certain
—mood?
What was even more silent-making was that there was even a “Do Not Disturb” sign hanging on the door.
“Shhh…”
Vera made a quiet shushing gesture, obviously having heard the noises from the bedroom as well.
“Don’t disturb them, follow me.”
For some reason, Jiang Chen also instinctively lightened his footsteps.
There were many rooms in the villa, so many that it was almost unimaginable.
Along the way, the effeminate sounds were unceasing.
Vera led Jiang Chen, and they finally found a bedroom without a sign.
The rooms here did not seem to be locked; Vera pressed the doorknob, turned it lightly, and pushed the door open.
“Go in.”
Jiang Chen stepped inside and quickly noticed a sign hanging on the inside door handle.
Vera took down the sign and hung it on the outside.
And so this bedroom also became “Do Not Disturb”.
“Click.”
The door closed.
“Take off your clothes.”
Jiang Chen immediately froze.
Take off, his clothes?
Vera looked puzzled, “Take them off so I can clean them for you.”
Jiang Chen realized and couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.
Well, it was almost a misunderstanding.
It wasn’t his fault for his impure thoughts, just influenced by external factors.
“Miss Vera, you really don’t have to bother, you can go back, I can do it myself.”
“I accidentally dirtied your clothes, I should take responsibility.”
It was evident that the young lady had good upbringing; she walked over, standing in front of Jiang Chen and began to reach for his jacket, “Jiang, let me help you take it off.”
Their proximity was intimate.
They could almost breathe in each other’s warm breaths.
Jiang Chen felt awkward.
Could it be that domestic public opinion is too conservative and that Western customs had become so liberal?
“No, no…
I’ll do it.”
Jiang Chen quickly stepped back two paces.
Vera did not persist, staying put, apparently waiting for Jiang Chen to take off his clothes.
Jiang Chen didn’t know what to do, to strip or not to strip.
And Vera’s innocent, straightforward gaze made him even start to wonder if he was being too prudish?
“Let me help you.”
Vera started to approach again.
“No, I’ll take them off myself.”
Jiang Chen reassured himself to adjust his mindset; in the land of the free, there was no need to be overly restrained.
Such behavior was not a big deal.
Jiang Chen slowly took off his jacket.
Vera, without any intention of looking away, stared straight as he removed his shirt, revealing his well-proportioned muscles.
A flicker of surprise passed through her amber eyes.
“Jiang, I didn’t expect you to be in such good shape.”
Jiang Chen certainly knew it was a courtesy remark.
Compared to Western muscle-bound men, he still lacked a lot, but indeed he was a bit stronger than some of his physically weaker Eastern peers.
He smiled uneasily, holding his clothes and heading to the bathroom.
“Give them to me.”
Vera quickly followed, taking the shirt from his hands, then she entered the bathroom.
In the process, it seemed she casually touched him as well.
Jiang Chen didn’t protest, sat naked on the bed, feeling somewhat amused yet helpless.
Washing sounds came from the bathroom.
“Baby, oh, you’re just too enticing.”
Noises started up next door.
“Your wife is here, aren’t you afraid she’ll catch you?”
“Ha, she’s probably enjoying herself even more right now.
Baby, get down quick, I can’t wait.”
Jiang Chen sat quietly on the bed, listening to the adult-only noises from next door.
They weren’t discreet in the least, their sounds grew louder, their cries more piercing as if excited to their wit’s end, seemingly determined to be overheard.
Some people just chase that thrill.
The upper echelons of society.
It was indeed full of vivid colors.
Jiang Chen, with nowhere to escape, was involuntarily subject to an earful of theatre.
