155: Local tycoons seek an audience

After driving away the tactless talent scout, the two bodyguards in black vanished into the crowd like ghosts, as if they had never been there.

These two bodyguards were no ordinary people; they were top-tier retired special forces soldiers with eyes and ears everywhere—extremely professional!!

They were also specifically arranged by the Xia family for Xia Rushuang's trip abroad.

When traveling abroad, security is paramount!

After the bodyguards moved away,

Xia Rushuang held Cao Lang's arm. Her mood wasn't affected; instead, she felt a sweetness in her heart because of Cao Lang's decisive refusal: "Sorry, not interested."

In Xia Rushuang's eyes, this man before her was incredibly charming no matter what he did!

"Come on, let's go to the amusement park!" Xia Rushuang pointed at the massive Ferris wheel in the distance, the excitement in her eyes almost overflowing.

Lotte World in Seoul is the most prestigious indoor amusement park in Kimchi Country.

After the two bought tickets, Xia Rushuang rushed inside excitedly like a child.

Cao Lang could only shake his head with a smile and follow closely behind.

First stop: the roller coaster!

The roller coaster spiraled like a giant dragon, speeding past as screams rose and fell.

Xia Rushuang had never experienced such a thing before. In the past, her heart would make her feel suffocated even after running a few steps.

Now, feeling the new heart bestowed upon her by Cao Lang beating strongly in her chest, she only wanted to make up for all the thrills she had missed over the past twenty-plus years!

The two bought fast-pass tickets and experienced it directly without queuing.

When the roller coaster dived from the highest point, a sense of weightlessness instantly seized her whole body!

Wow!!! So exciting!

Xia Rushuang didn't scream in fear like other girls. Instead, she laughed heartily, letting the wild wind blow her long hair into a mess, freely experiencing this sense of liberation from all restraints!

Cao Lang sat right beside her, one hand firmly gripping the safety rail while the other steadily protected Xia Rushuang's side, keeping her within his range of safety.

Getting off the roller coaster, Xia Rushuang's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her charming legs were a bit weak. Without waiting to recover, she still pulled Cao Lang toward the next attraction.

On the skating rink, Xia Rushuang, who had never touched ice skates before, was like a clumsy swan, wobbling. Every time she was about to fall, she would be caught steadily from behind by Cao Lang.

She simply stopped struggling and hung her whole body on Cao Lang, letting him lead her across the ice. Her ear was against his heartbeat, and her nose was filled with his pleasant scent.

Bungee jumping—the two held each other tightly as if trying to merge into one body, then leaped down!

The giant pendulum, the pirate ship... Throughout the day, Xia Rushuang played almost all the thrilling attractions. She had never released herself so thoroughly.

Cao Lang accompanied her the whole time, holding her hand when she screamed, carrying her on his back when she was tired, and unscrewing bottle caps to hand her water when she was thirsty... Every tiny action of this man was seen by Xia Rushuang, and that once-haughty heart completely melted.

She discovered that this man, who was incredibly domineering in bed, was actually so considerate in daily life.

This contrast moved her and made her sink even deeper.

When a woman starts to fall in love with a man,

no matter what he does, it can be seen as a virtue!

Perhaps this is what they mean by "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"!

Cao Lang's charm had reached its peak in Xia Rushuang's eyes!

So, she decided to "repay" Cao Lang well.

After Cao Lang's "training" over the past few days, she also understood more and more how to please this man.

At night, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.

A day of crazy fun had left them both a bit tired.

After bathing, Xia Rushuang came out wrapped in a bath towel. Seeing Cao Lang leaning against the headboard looking at his phone, she didn't pounce immediately. Instead, she walked to the dressing table, skillfully picked up a hair tie, and tied her waterfall-like long hair high up into a refreshing ponytail!

This proactive gesture caused Cao Lang's gaze to instantly turn scorching.

She's become sensible.

With her hair tied back, he felt so comfortable... "Hubby~ it's so good to have you."

Xia Rushuang's beautiful eyes were full of affection. She looked up at Cao Lang, the sweetness in her eyes almost turning into water.

"Don't talk."

"You're so mean!"

...Next, the two spent another week playing crazily, visiting various daytime attractions, exploring gourmet food, and returning to the hotel at night to continue the madness.

Xia Rushuang went completely wild in Kimchi Country!

This was the happiest and most carefree time of her life.

The eighth day.

After having their fill of fun, the two prepared to take a break.

Cao Lang was leaning on the sofa, enjoying the grapes Xia Rushuang had peeled for him by hand, when her phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar local number.

Xia Rushuang picked up the phone, her tone still carrying a bit of laziness: "Who is this?"

A man's voice, incredibly respectful and even flattering, immediately came from the other end, speaking fluent Chinese.

"Miss Xia! My Eldest Miss! You've come to Seoul, why didn't you tell Uncle Wang! It's me, Wang Qiang!"

Wang Qiang?

Xia Rushuang thought for a moment before pulling this name from a corner of her memory.

He was a subordinate her grandfather had once sponsored. Later, he went to Kimchi Country to develop and reportedly became quite successful.

"Uncle Wang? Oh, I remember. I'm just here to play for a few days; there's no need to make it known to everyone." Xia Rushuang's tone remained flat.

"Of course, of course. Which hotel are you at? I'll come pick you up right away! I have a few supermarket chains under me and some influence in Kimchi Country. All the expenses for you and your friend here will be on me!" Wang Qiang was quite excited on the phone.

If he hadn't received Old Master Xia's guidance and a sum of startup capital back then, he could never have gained a foothold in the xenophobic Kimchi Country, let alone become the famous chaebol who now held super-large supermarket chains.

He would never dare to forget the Xia family's kindness in his life!

Xia Rushuang originally wanted to refuse, but she glanced at Cao Lang beside her and, inexplicably, gave the hotel's address.

She suddenly wanted to take Cao Lang out in public and introduce this man who had made her head spin to others.

Xia Rushuang knew that Cao Lang would most likely not marry her.

This was also their agreement.

However, whenever there was an opportunity, she always wanted to help the man before her as much as possible.

Cao Lang had no foundation in Kimchi Country. Perhaps through Wang Qiang, a local businessman, he could open up a sliver of the market here.

After all, Xingyao Media was also an outstanding cultural enterprise from China and was bound to go international in the future!

With this thought in mind, Xia Rushuang broke her usual habit and agreed to Wang Qiang's request for an audience.
