Gwen Letting Herself Go

230 Fifth.

A famous bar on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Unlike those messy little bars, a casual night here could easily cost thousands of dollars. It was an upscale place beyond the reach of most working-class people.

Chen Xi naturally preferred places like this. At the very least, there were fewer clueless punks around to annoy him.

The entrance was lined with luxury cars. Though luxury cars were relatively cheaper here, they were still luxuries.

When Chen Xi's Ferrari pulled up, the security guard immediately rushed over with an attentive smile and opened the door for him. The more luxury cars there were, the better the business looked. After all, if even rich people came here, just how high-class must the place be?

"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 immediately made a silencing gesture and smiled.

"Un... understood. You... you can rest assured."

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

The guard nodded repeatedly in excitement. If people would not mistake him for a lunatic, he truly would have shouted twice.

Being able to valet for such a great screenwriter, he felt that God must have blessed him. He needed to hurry and buy a lottery ticket after work.

Gwen sat in the passenger seat with her eyes wide open. Even a random security guard was this fanatical about him. Once again, she realized just how untouchably lofty the man beside her was. She even wondered whether his appeal and influence could sway an election.

He might even easily surpass that man from before...

I'm crazy. The capitalists would never let an Easterner stand above everyone else. 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 disturbance, Chen Xi put on sunglasses before entering the bar. That made things much better.

At such a booming bar, there would definitely be no private rooms without a reservation.

He could get them a reserved private room with a single word, but since he had come to let Gwen have fun, the main point was to show her a world she had never seen before. A booth would do just fine.

The bar had very little promotional entertainment. Given its reputation, it naturally did not need to put in that much effort. All performances onstage were left to the guests 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 passionately twisting onstage. She envied their uninhibited energy.

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

"Because they've gotten over it, so they can let go."

Chen Xi smiled meaningfully.

"You're awful! Don't think of people that way."

Gwen was not stupid. 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?"

Chen Xi changed the subject and pointed at the drinks menu.

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

Gwen immediately refused. What was so good about cocktails?

"Fine, suit yourself."

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

It would not be him getting beaten when she went home, anyway. George Stacy had probably already started deploying officers to look for Gwen, right?

"Hehe, good. Then I'm going to make you bleed."

The inexperienced Gwen stared eagerly at all the hard liquors she had never tried, such as Angostura wine and Johnnie Walker whisky.

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

Chen Xi said admiringly.

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

Gwen pouted defiantly. She was not afraid of him.

"Fine, keep talking tough."

Chen Xi teased her. He could clearly see both apprehension and excitement in her eyes...

Soon, the beautiful waitress brought over the drinks they had ordered. Gwen was not polite at all and immediately poured herself a glass.

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

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

"Hahaha, it burns me to death! It burns me to death!"

Gwen kept blowing out breaths from the burning sensation, sticking out her little tongue again and again...

Fortunately, the bar had provided a fruit platter and snacks, which could temper that fiery sting a little.

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 each glass cost more than a thousand dollars...

Angostura wine was not as harsh and was more suitable for a beginner like her. Seeing Gwen's flushed face and narrowed eyes, Chen Xi found her especially adorable. Girls who drank were just so charmingly guileless.

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

Chen Xi was not particularly interested in that, but there were not many decent people on a bar's dance floor. He still followed her.

The tipsy Gwen tossed aside her coat. Her graceful figure instantly drew a chorus of lewd whistles, and the idiots' eyes lit up.

But when they saw Chen Xi, they quieted down. Chen Xi wearing sunglasses in a bar did look a little pretentious, and the lighting was dim, but the ten-million-dollar watch on his wrist gleamed brightly enough to make them back off.

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

"How could it be him...?"

Standing by the second-floor railing, an elegant woman who made others feel ashamed of themselves looked at Chen Xi in surprise. The perfect curves threatening to burst free alone were enough to make anyone fall for her, weren't they?

There was naturally no need to say anything about Gwen's dancing. It seemed girls from these countries all knew how to dance a few moves.

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

Just as Gwen was completely lost in the moment, Chen Xi sharply noticed a blond-haired guy approaching. Was he looking for trouble?

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

The blond-haired guy had probably drunk a few too many mouthfuls of cheap booze. He looked at Chen Xi sideways and spouted nonsense in a cocky manner, not taking him seriously at all.

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

The burly man beside the woman, built like a bear, 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."

The woman shook her head lightly.

"How is that possible? Him?"

The bear-like man immediately looked unconvinced and glanced at the skinny blond.

"He's a mutant."

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

She sighed softly. "What a lucky girl!"

The burly man was utterly confused. Wouldn't they be in danger the moment they encountered a mutant? How was she lucky?
