Gwen Lets Loose

230 Fifth.

A well-known bar on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, it was nothing like those messy little dives. A casual night here could easily cost thousands of dollars, making it an upscale venue far beyond the means of most working-class people.

Chen Xi naturally preferred places like this. At the very least, there were fewer clueless thugs around to ruin his mood.

The bar's entrance was lined with luxury cars. Though expensive cars were relatively cheaper here, they were still luxury goods.

When Chen Xi's Ferrari pulled up, the security guard immediately hurried over with an ingratiating smile and opened the door for him. The more luxury cars there were, the better business was. After all, if even the rich showed up, how high-class did that make the place?

"Hello, sir, you..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, he excitedly covered his mouth!

"You!!"

An enormous surprise instantly flooded his heart. He had never imagined he would get to open the door for the greatest screenwriter of the century!

"Shh! Don't make a scene. Here, park the car for me."

Chen Xi smiled and made a silencing gesture.

"U-Understood, sir... Don't worry."

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

The guard nodded excitedly again and again. If people wouldn't think he was crazy, he truly wanted to shout a few times.

Being able to valet for such a great screenwriter made him feel as if God had blessed him. He needed to buy a lottery ticket the moment he got off work.

Gwen sat in the passenger seat with her eyes wide open. Even a random security guard was this fanatical about him.

She once again realized just how unattainable the man beside her was. She even suspected that his appeal and influence could sway an election.

He could probably even surpass that man from before with ease...

I must be crazy. The capitalists would never allow an Asian to stand above everyone else. Then the country would cease to be a country.

Gwen hurriedly suppressed that dangerous thought. It was not something an ordinary person like her could casually discuss.

To avoid causing a commotion, Chen Xi put on sunglasses before entering the bar. That made things much better.

A bar this bustling definitely had no private rooms left without a reservation.

Though he could get a reserved private room with a single word, he was here to show Gwen a good time. More importantly, he wanted her to experience a world she had never seen before, so a booth would do just fine.

This bar did very little marketing. With its reputation, it naturally had no need to put in that much effort. The performances onstage were all left for the patrons to enjoy themselves.

"What would you like to drink?"

Chen Xi asked with a smile, but Gwen's gaze was completely fixed on the blonde girls swaying passionately onstage. She envied their uninhibited, overflowing enthusiasm.

"Why can they let themselves go like that? I really envy people who are so fearless."

"Because they've come to terms with it, so they can let go."

Chen Xi smiled meaningfully.

"You're awful! Don't think of people in such dirty ways."

Gwen was no fool. She immediately rolled her eyes at him. How could she not understand what Chen Xi meant...?

"Haha, you're right. Come on, order whatever you want from the menu. How about a cocktail?"

Changing the subject, Chen Xi pointed at the drink menu.

"No, I don't drink cocktails. I want to try strong liquor I've never had before. Hehe."

Gwen immediately refused. What was so good about cocktails?

"Fine, suit yourself."

Chen Xi shrugged. As long as she could take it, he did not care.

Anyway, he would not be the one getting beaten when she got home. George Stacy had probably already started deploying officers to look for Gwen, hadn't he?

"Hehe, great. Then I'm going to make you pay."

The inexperienced Gwen stared with shining eyes at the unfamiliar hard liquors, such as Angostura Wine and Johnnie Walker Whiskey.

"Tsk, tsk. You really aren't afraid of getting beaten."

Chen Xi said admiringly.

"Beat me? Who? George? He wouldn't dare!"

Gwen curled her lips stubbornly. She was not afraid of him.

"All right, keep talking tough."

Chen Xi teased. He could clearly see both unease and anticipation in her eyes...

Before long, the beautiful waitress brought over the drinks they had ordered. Gwen did not hold back at all and directly poured herself a glass.

Chen Xi laughed as he watched Gwen roll her eyes from the burn. This girl really was a fearless greenhorn. It was fifty-proof liquor!

"Haha, hurry up and eat some snacks. Who starts with fifty-proof hard liquor when they've never had alcohol before?"

"Hahaha, it's burning me! It's burning me!"

Gwen kept exhaling from the spiciness, sticking out her little tongue again and again...

Fortunately, the bar had sent over a fruit platter and snacks, which helped temper the sharp burning sensation.

Still unwilling to admit defeat, Gwen poured herself another glass of wine. She had not even looked at the price and had no idea that a single glass cost over a thousand dollars...

Dura Wine was not as harsh and was more suitable for a beginner like her. Watching Gwen's flushed face and narrowed eyes, Chen Xi found her especially adorable and charming after drinking.

At that moment, Gwen, riding high, declared that the bar's music was incredibly addictive and wanted to drag Chen Xi onto the dance floor.

Chen Xi was not particularly interested in such a request, but there were not many decent people in a bar's dance floor, so he followed her anyway.

The tipsy Gwen threw off her coat, and her graceful figure instantly drew a chorus of hooligan whistles. The idiots' eyes all lit up.

But when they saw Chen Xi, they immediately quieted down. Though wearing sunglasses in a bar made Chen Xi seem like he was showing off, and the lighting was dim, the multimillion-dollar watch flashing on his wrist was enough to make them back off.

Whether they were social elites or rich second-generation heirs, none of them would offend a young man like that over a woman.

"How could it be him..."

By the railing on the second floor stood an elegant woman who made others feel inferior. She looked at Chen Xi in surprise. The perfect curves straining against her clothes alone were enough to make anyone fall for her.

Gwen's dancing skills went without saying. It seemed girls from these countries all knew how to dance a few moves.

Even after one song, she still did not seem satisfied. The passionate music appeared to ignite the passion in her heart as well. After being such a good girl for so many years, one could imagine how much desire she had built up to express herself...

Just as Gwen lost herself in the moment, Chen Xi keenly noticed a blond punk approaching. Was he looking for trouble?

"Hey! Kid, your girlfriend's pretty good. Can you let her have a drink with me?"

The blond punk had probably drunk a little too much cheap booze. He squinted at Chen Xi with a cocky, insolent look and clearly did not take him seriously.

"Boss, should we break that damn blond brat's legs and throw him out?"

The burly man built like a grizzly bear beside the woman spoke coldly. Anyone who dared offend their most honored guest should not blame them for being ruthless.

"No need. You can't beat that blond punk."

The woman shook her head calmly.

"How is that possible? Him?"

The bear-like burly man was immediately unconvinced and glanced disdainfully at the skinny blond punk.

"He's a Mutant."

The woman smiled, but the smile curling at the corners of her lips was impossible to read...

With a soft sigh, she said, "What a lucky girl!"

The burly man was completely confused. Weren't they in danger the moment they encountered a Mutant? How was she lucky?
