36: Sleep together?

"Xinyu, good morning."

Jiang Yuan leaned against the back of the sofa.

Gu Xinyu's voice softened a bit, "Do you have any instructions for me?"

"Mm."

Jiang Yuan said, "I'm planning to go to Qingdao to see the sea. Can you help me arrange car shipping and book a flight ticket for me?"

"Okay."

Gu Xinyu replied with almost no hesitation, "The vehicle will be transported directly to Qingdao and prepared for you, so you can use it as soon as you arrive. As for the flight, would you prefer to go as soon as possible, or would you like to rest a bit before leaving?"

"As soon as possible."

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, "Is there a suitable flight this afternoon?"

"Yes, there is."

A faint sound of typing came from the other end, "I'll go ahead and book a first-class ticket for you. There's a flight at around three in the afternoon, from Yanji to Qingdao, with no transfers."

"Alright, you can handle it."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Deduct the money from my account."

"The cost has already been covered by your wealth management current income."

Gu Xinyu said gently, "It's like your flight ticket is paid for by the interest, so you don't need to pay extra."

"Alright, you're impressive."

Jiang Yuan praised casually.

"It's my pleasure to serve you."

Gu Xinyu smiled, then paused, as if gathering a bit of courage, "Mr. Jiang, are you going alone this time?"

"Originally, I planned to go by myself."

Jiang Yuan deliberately paused, then slowly said, "But watching the sea alone might be a bit boring. How about... you come with me?"

There was silence on the other end for a second.

Immediately followed by a barely suppressed chuckle, which she quickly reined in.

"If you require my company for the trip, of course."

Gu Xinyu's tone became even more respectful, "I can also handle your daily affairs along the way."

"Alright, then let's go together."

Jiang Yuan said, "Is the timing convenient for you?"

"It's already very convenient."

Jiang Yuan said, "Please book the hotel for me as well, just don't make it too extravagant."

"It has already been booked for you."

Gu Xinyu said softly, "The St. Regis Qingdao, Ambassador Suite, with an excellent sea view. It's one of the hotels our bank cooperates with. I used points and discounts to cover part of the cost. The normal rack rate is over ten thousand per night."

"You call this not extravagant?"

Jiang Yuan was a little amused.

"Given your status, you deserve better."

Gu Xinyu said seriously, "Your comfort is the most important thing to me."

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Alright."

"I will send you the itinerary and hotel confirmation message on WeChat shortly."

Gu Xinyu added, "I will arrive a little earlier than you. I'll pick you up at the exit when you come out of the airport."

"Alright, see you at the airport then."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan opened WeChat.

Soon, messages popped up.

【Xinyu: Mr. Jiang, here is your afternoon flight information. I have already checked in and selected your boarding pass in advance.】

【Xinyu: I've also sent you a copy of the vehicle shipping order. It's expected to arrive in Qingdao in two days. I've arranged for a driver to pick up and store the car for you.】

【Xinyu: Here is the booking confirmation for the St. Regis Ambassador Suite for your review.】

The messages were sent neatly, one after another.

Jiang Yuan glanced at them, too lazy to say much, and only replied with one sentence.

【Jiang Yuan: Alright, thanks for your hard work.】

【Xinyu: It is my honor to serve you.】

Three in the afternoon.

The flight took off on time.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and rested in first class, the journey was uneventful.

After landing in Qingdao, he exited the channel with his carry-on luggage. As soon as he reached the exit, he saw a familiar figure standing behind the crowd.

Gu Xinyu was wearing a well-tailored professional suit, with a thin trench coat over it. Her makeup was exquisite but not heavy, making her look capable and elegant.

Seeing Jiang Yuan emerge, she immediately hurried forward and bent down to take the luggage from his hand.

"Mr. Jiang, you must be tired from your journey."

She looked up and smiled at him, her tone respectful with a hint of genuine joy.

She gestured with her side, inviting him to proceed.

"The car is already waiting for you outside. We'll take you to the hotel to rest first. I've already had them open the curtains and turn on the air conditioning in your room, so you can take a shower and rest directly when you arrive."

Jiang Yuan walked ahead, shaking his head with a smile.

Having someone like this meticulously handle every detail behind him.

He suddenly felt—

This feeling of being served so perfectly.

It was indeed quite comfortable.

Sitting in the comfortable Rolls-Royce courtesy car, they drove smoothly into the hotel. The speed was not fast but very steady.

The car stopped in front of the portico. Service staff were already waiting, deftly opening the car door for Jiang Yuan and bowing to gesture him out. Guided by the doorman, the two stepped onto the soft carpet and entered the hotel lobby.

The St. Regis Hotel is the tallest building in Qingdao. From here, the sea view is excellent, with the entire coastline seemingly unfolding beneath their feet.

"Hello, sir..."

With the front desk staff's skilled and professional handling, Jiang Yuan quickly received his room card.

He glanced down and saw only one card, assuming it was a two-bedroom suite. He instinctively thought Gu Xinyu would sleep in the other room, so he didn't ask further.

The elevator ascended directly to the high floors. A slight ringing in his ears emerged, and he could clearly feel the change in ear pressure.

"Ding—"

The elevator doors opened, revealing a quiet and luxurious exclusive guest room corridor, where the thick carpet swallowed all footsteps.

When the room door was swiped open, the service butler was already waiting at the entrance.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Gu, welcome."

The butler's attitude was respectful. He pushed their luggage into the room and gave a brief tour.

The Ambassador Suite was on the 72nd floor, a full 180 square meters.

Upon entering, there was a spacious and bright living room, with a full-length window almost covering an entire wall, offering panoramic views of the sea and the skyline.

Sofas, a bar, and a small dining table were all available, along with a separate study, and even a treadmill placed in a corner.

The bedroom was further inside. Pushing open the door, the first thing that caught the eye was the enormous bed, which almost occupied half the room's area.

The bedding was pristine white and soft, the pillows neatly stacked, and on the bedside table were welcome fruits and recently lit aromatherapy, filling the air with a faint, soothing scent.

The butler then introduced the mini-bar, walk-in closet, bathroom, and 24-hour private service phone, among other facilities, finally asking politely:

"If the two of you have any special needs tonight, please feel free to contact me."

"None for now, thank you."

Gu Xinyu responded for Jiang Yuan, her demeanor appropriate.

Once the door closed, the room instantly fell silent.

Only the gentle sound of the sea breeze tapping against the glass remained, and the low hum of the air conditioning.

Jiang Yuan's gaze swept around the room, finally settling on the enormous bed, which was the only one in the room.

The air was silent for two seconds.

"Only one bed?"

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in his tone. He first looked at the bed, then at Gu Xinyu, who looked perfectly natural.

"I can sleep on the sofa, Brother Jiang."

Gu Xinyu smiled slightly, making it unclear whether she was joking or genuinely intended to do so.
