May!
Neither cold nor hot!
Yuzhou's premier nightclub: Heaven on Earth!
Splendid gold and jade, carved beams and painted columns, marble from Venice, crystal chandeliers from France, mahogany from the Black Continent, red wine from Europe, beautiful waitresses from the United States, ladyboys from Siam, young women from Japan, girl groups from Goguryeo...
Luxury beyond measure!
Neon lights, flowing liquor, and intoxicating extravagance!
Countless young men and women, wealthy ladies, and powerful figures swayed excitedly inside, letting their hormones run wild.
Creamy skin, rosy flesh, undulating curves, and slender, graceful figures flickered in and out of sight...
Rock music blared wildly, making the chaotic venue awash in colored lights seem all the darker, more seductive, and more frenzied... Everyone swayed, drank, and danced to their heart's content!
The indescribable decadence made it feel like a drunken dream of endless pleasure!
Like lives blossoming in a golden age, like one last wild party before the apocalypse.
Suddenly.
The frenzied rock music fell abruptly silent.
Some of those who had been enjoying themselves were about to lose their tempers.
They looked up, but before they could speak, they shut their mouths.
That man had arrived. It was only natural for the club to give him a special welcome.
The man was strikingly handsome. At six feet tall, dressed in designer clothes, he cut an exceptionally upright figure, his chiseled features softened by a gentle air.
He truly was a handsome, perfect-looking man.
Of course, nobody was perfect. His face was a little pale, and the bags under his eyes were hard to hide. Add his slightly rakish gaze, his swaggering stride, and the beautiful woman tucked beneath one arm.
A pack of lackeys followed behind him, too.
Everyone could sense his decadent, womanizing, spoiled-rich-boy air.
Even though everyone who patronized Heaven on Earth had considerable wealth of their own.
Still, at the sight of this man.
Envy and jealousy flashed in some eyes, while flattering smiles appeared on other faces!
"Young Master Gu really has it made. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Does he sleep with ten women every night?"
"Isn't that the Zhou Group's little princess in his arms? She really is as gorgeous as the rumors say. Ah, if I could just kiss a beauty like her once in my life, I'd die happy on the spot."
"Some people really are born lucky. They say Young Master Gu never does anything worthwhile. He doesn't study abroad or invest. He goes to a local university, and apparently all he does there is skip classes and coast through life... But look at how he lives, and the future waiting for him... Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"That's normal. Those rich and powerful families only send their kids to college for appearances. Who among them would rely on an increasingly worthless degree to make a living?"
"Hey, who is this guy? Even Heaven on Earth goes out of its way to show him respect!"
"You don't even recognize him? That's Gu Zhe, Gu An's son!"
"Hmph, if you spent tens of millions, or even a hundred million, at Heaven on Earth every year, they'd show you the same respect. He's a huge cash cow. Heaven on Earth absolutely loves him!"
"Oh, so that's him-the son of Yuzhou's richest man. No wonder!"
"Being rich really is nice. Even with things getting stranger and stranger internationally, these wealthy elites aren't affected at all."
"Ahem, buddy, ordinary people outside would actually think we're doing pretty well ourselves!"
"Uh, this handsome fellow was humblebragging!"
Gu Zhe surveyed the scene before him with satisfaction.
Ahead, Heaven on Earth had fallen silent especially to welcome him, countless men and women looking at him with envy and respect.
Behind him followed his classmates, friends, and buddies. His social life was harmonious and perfect.
In his arms was a warm, soft beauty. Strands of her hair brushed his cheek, and her virginal fragrance drifted into his nose.
He gazed fondly at the gentle woman beside him.
Her figure was graceful and full, her face fair and rosy. Those eyebrows, those eyes, that little mouth-everything about her set his heart fluttering.
Under Gu Zhe's gaze.
A shy blush spread across the face of this beautiful, youthful, and sexy woman.
She covered her mouth and giggled:
"Ah, Gu, stop staring. You're embarrassing me!!"
Gu Zhe was even more delighted.
"Hahaha, what's there to be shy about? Lin'er, since you've agreed to be my girlfriend, don't worry. I'll treat you well, and I'll make sure the whole world knows you're the happiest woman alive."
"Mm, you're so good to me. I'm so happy!"
"Of course! Our boss Gu is the most considerate guy in our dorm when it comes to women. With him, you're sure to be happy, sis."
"Heh, as the old saying goes, better to be a pair of lovebirds than an immortal. Seeing Young Master Gu and Miss Lin'er, I finally understand it."
"Gu, quit showing off how happy you are. Let's go. I heard they've got some new liquor here. My dad keeps me on a tight leash, so today I'm drinking my fill!"
"Young Master Liu, Young Master Gu is in a good mood today. He's won his beauty's heart..."
Gu Zhe took it all in.
A beauty, his buddies, money... A life of luxury!
He couldn't help marveling inwardly.
I really nailed the reincarnation lottery this time!
In my last life, I was just a fresh graduate grinding away at a job, envying all those second- and third-generation rich kids who were born at the finish line. Who would've thought that after transmigrating into this familiar yet different parallel world, I'd be the rich kid myself...
My transmigrator cheat still hasn't shown up, but being a playboy and a spoiled rich kid is pretty great, too. I'll just muddle through this life without accomplishing much!
He felt her soft, smooth little hand nestle against the back of his hand as he held her waist.
That made him feel even better.
This life is enough. More than enough! This is my reward for all the merit I earned working nine-to-nine, seven days a week in my previous life! Mr. Ma wasn't lying to me!
He laughed heartily.
Then waved to the entire club.
"To celebrate the Gu Group's listing on Nasdaq at a valuation of one trillion, and to celebrate Lin'er agreeing to be my girlfriend!"
"Tonight, everything is on Young Master Gu!!"
The moment he finished speaking.
"Long live Young Master Gu!"
"Young Master Gu is so generous!"
"Without Young Master Gu, Heaven on Earth would be plunged into eternal night!"
Gu Zhe nodded calmly.
Then, just as calmly, he led his entourage toward his private room.
Money let him do whatever he pleased. Having lived two lives, he knew that as the son of an ultra-rich family, he could indulge in just about anything as long as he stayed away from gambling, drugs, and investing.
In this life, he only intended to be a pampered rich kid living off his family.
Working hard was out of the question!
A little while later.
Inside the private room, which spanned two to three hundred square meters, the others drank and sang, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Beautiful women of every type circulated among them, tending to everyone, with some men holding a woman in each arm.
Gu Zhe was the exception, of course!
There were no other women around him, only his gentle girlfriend cuddling softly against him and feeding him pieces of various fruits.
Gu Zhe wasn't fickle. With Lin'er, whose looks, figure, personality, heart, and family background were all perfect, he wanted no other woman.
Lin'er fulfilled every fantasy he'd had about the perfect girlfriend in his previous life.
"Lin'er, I never thought you'd really agree to be my girlfriend. I'm so happy!"
Zhou Linlin pressed a fair, delicate finger to Gu Zhe's lips.
"Silly, it's because I've always liked you, too!"
"We have to be happy together!"
Then she lowered her blushing face again.
"You have to treat me well, too!!"
Even though he had lived two lives.
He had been young in both.
In his previous life, he had been a small-town exam grinder turned corporate wage slave.
In this life, he seemed swaggering and spoiled on the surface, but before this, he had actually been hopelessly addicted to games.
Now, seeing this shy beauty.
Gu Zhe had already lost his head.
His beauty was discovering love for the first time, her eyes brimming with affection, her jade-like face flushed with shyness...
He leaned close and whispered beside Lin'er's sweet-smelling ear:
"I swear I'll love only you for the rest of my life."
"I'll treat you well, I promise. I'll make you the happiest woman alive!"
"Mm!!"
Zhou Linlin grew even shyer, and even more radiant!!
Once again, Gu Zhe marveled from the bottom of his heart!
This is so nice. Being a rich kid, living this lovely little life!
Dad, you'll have to work a little harder. I'll depend on you for the first thirty years-and for the next thirty, too!
