Chapter 489: Don’t Tell Me You Want to Try?
"Me? All show and no go? That's complete nonsense."
Jiang Xinghai had to defend his manly pride. "Let me state for the record that I'm a man who's good for more than just his looks. There's no doubt about it, and I absolutely will not allow anyone to say I can't perform."
PFFT...
Feng Lulu covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. "I didn't know you had such a sense of humor, Brother Hai. But talk is cheap. Who's going to believe you?"
The words had barely left her mouth when she suddenly caught an unusual scent on her hand.
'It smells like... male hormones. Like Jiang Xinghai...'
At that thought, her eyes locked back onto Jiang Xinghai.
"Don't tell me you want to see for yourself whether I can perform?" Jiang Xinghai said, catching her gaze.
"Brother Hai, what are you talking about? You're teasing me. When did I ever say I wanted to see for myself? You're awful." Feng Lulu tossed the wadded-up tissues at Jiang Xinghai and turned to look out the window at the city lights.
"Alright, my mistake," Jiang Xinghai said with an embarrassed smile.
Feng Lulu turned back to him. "As long as you realize you were wrong. Now, let me get back to cleaning you up."
"Please, stop wiping! I'm driving here!" Jiang Xinghai said, a note of resignation in his voice.
He was, in fact, speaking with a double meaning, warning Feng Lulu that she couldn't keep this up.
But Feng Lulu pretended not to understand. "If I don't get this clean, how can you possibly get out of the car looking like that?"
She pointed at the stain on Jiang Xinghai's pants.
"Well... I'm driving, so my hands are a little tied up," Jiang Xinghai said awkwardly.
"Exactly. So I'll just keep helping you clean it."
Looking very serious, Feng Lulu continued to wipe the stain for him.
Jiang Xinghai was fully aroused, his breathing growing ragged. He quickly changed the subject. "Hey, uh, Lulu? Could you go buy me an outfit?"
"What's wrong with the camo? You look so heroic and strong in it." Feng Lulu was still gazing out at the city lights.
"I have to go to Yun Province tomorrow, and this outfit isn't exactly suitable for a business trip. It's a bit too conspicuous, don't you think?" Jiang Xinghai tugged at his camouflage pants, now stained with ice cream.
Leng Ning had bought this camouflage outfit for him three days ago at the Phoenix Mountain scenic area in Central State.
He'd been washing it every night and putting it back on the next morning, never getting a chance to buy anything new.
"Oh, I see. Are you going on this trip by yourself?"
Hearing that Jiang Xinghai was leaving again right after arriving in the Provincial City, Feng Lulu's heart began to feel empty.
"Yeah, I leave tomorrow. I should be back in three days at the earliest, a week at the latest." Jiang Xinghai turned the car onto a commercial street.
"Alright, then. Do you want something casual or formal?" Feng Lulu's tone became serious.
"Neither. Just get me a set of outdoor jungle gear. Black or dark green would be fine." Jiang Xinghai would soon be heading into Yun Province. He needed to find the traitor, Arhat, in the Golden Triangle area of Myanmar, and other types of clothing would be impractical.
Feng Lulu nodded. "Got it. I'll get out here. Wait for me."
"My size is—"
"No need. I've already sized you up. Trust me." Feng Lulu got out of the car and disappeared into the crowd.
After all the time they'd spent in close contact, she naturally knew the man's approximate size.
「Half an hour later.」
Feng Lulu returned, carrying a dark green shoulder bag.
She handed the bag to Jiang Xinghai. "This bag will be perfect for your trip. Everything you need is inside. You can look when we get back to the hotel."
"Alrighty." Jiang Xinghai trusted Feng Lulu's taste.
Soon, following Feng Lulu's directions, they drove to a couple's hotel.
"This hotel looks familiar," Jiang Xinghai remarked before he had even brought the car to a full stop.
Feng Lulu batted her eyelashes. "Well, well, Brother Hai. Just which woman did you stay here with?"
"I remember now. I just passed by here earlier." He recalled driving past this place with Leng Ning that morning, and how she had wanted to book a room here for the night.
"Just passed by?" Feng Lulu smiled skeptically.
She didn't press the issue. She knew she wasn't the only woman who liked Jiang Xinghai, and she had never dreamed of having him all to herself.
She was well aware that an outstanding man like Jiang Xinghai, skilled in both Medical Martial Arts, would have been a prince or a lord in ancient times. It was only natural for a man like that to have many women vying for his attention, so she had come to terms with it long ago.
The two of them quickly entered the hotel.
Feng Lulu had already booked a room.
The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted by the sight of a huge double bed sitting in the center of the room, bathed in a pinkish glow.
Scented candles flickered beside the bed, creating a romantic and mysterious atmosphere.
In truth, Feng Lulu had meticulously planned everything.
The room she booked had everything, filled with an air of romance and passion.
Every detail, from the decor and lighting to the music and ambiance, showcased her unique and thoughtful planning.
"Very nice."
Truth be told, it was Jiang Xinghai's first time in a room decorated like this.
"It is, isn't it? I think so too."
Feng Lulu's cheeks were pink; it was, of course, her first time staying in a room like this as well.
Jiang Xinghai thought that with such a perfect atmosphere, it would be a real shame if the night ended with just acupuncture and a massage.
