Chapter 32: Jewelry Exhibition
Regardless, Ling Xiao still agreed to Chang Kuan. Although it was a bit troublesome, compared to the help Chang Kuan provided him, it was nothing.
Carefully emerging from Chang Kuan's apartment building, Ling Xiao re-entered the chaotic alley behind it. He didn't want anyone to see him appear at Chang Kuan's door. Always cautious in his actions, he wouldn't easily leave any traces.
Ling Xiao looked up at the sun. By now, Yashida Ichiro should have woken up. To be honest, he still couldn't understand why Yashida Ichiro, when sneaking into his small building at night, would carry a bank card and a diamond ring on him.
Ling Xiao gently shook his head. Perhaps in Yashida Ichiro's heart, he hadn't taken Ling Xiao seriously, but now, Yashida Ichiro had become the person who posed the least threat to Ling Xiao.
Sometimes, to deal with a person, it's not always necessary to kill them, because there are too many ways to make a person feel worse than death.
Ling Xiao spent the entire day with Gan Jing, guarding against another attack from Yashida's faction. But as the sun set and the moon rose, the Japanese made no moves.
When Gan Jing woke up the next morning, she finally sensed Ling Xiao's relaxation. She was a very sensitive girl. Ling Xiao had been tense all day yesterday, but last night, after Ling Xiao returned from his evening Cultivation, she felt him truly relax.
Everything returned to normal. Ling Xiao went back to school while also managing his business. Gan Jing, on the other hand, spent more time in the Pharmacy, occasionally showing up at school to report her research progress to her mentor.
Due to the lingering aftermath of the dock incident, Ling Xiao had deliberately had Gan Jing cancel all her business during those few days. Even those that couldn't be canceled were postponed. If there were truly urgent cases, he had them come directly to his door. Ling Xiao absolutely would not make house calls during those days, because he didn't know if it was a trap set by others.
Now that the matter had temporarily come to an end, the business that had been slightly affected before had to be picked up again. After all, getting over a million US dollars from Yashida Ichiro in one go was an extremely rare occurrence, and Ling Xiao had his own uses for that money. So, the business that brought him tens of thousands of US dollars in profit every month naturally couldn't be abandoned.
On Friday, Ling Xiao received another call from Young Miss Mikayla Baines, asking him to go to Beverly Hills again tomorrow for another youth treatment.
After receiving the call, Ling Xiao subconsciously frowned. After a while, confirming that this time it wasn't a deliberate ambush, Ling Xiao called Mikayla Baines back and confirmed the appointment.
Beverly Hills, known as "the world's most prestigious residential area," is hailed as a symbol and representation of wealth and fame. It is a dream destination for global tycoons and, as Los Angeles' most famous city-within-a-city, boasts the world's most upscale commercial streets, numerous mansions of Hollywood stars, and also serves as a Holy Land for the world of cinema.
Beverly Hills attracts countless tourists from all over the world every year, who curiously explore its streets and alleys. It gathers the world's top fashion brands, with every store glittering magnificently. Ornate marble paired with brass doors and arcaded fountains instantly make the street appear even more extraordinary in its Aura.
Ling Xiao usually came here once every two weeks and would leave quickly after completing a few deals. He didn't particularly like it here. The people here were too restless, and the air was filled with the scent of adoration, money, betrayal, and hatred. Every celebrity's face was etched with a false smile.
Mikayla Baines is one of Hollywood's recently popular beautiful stars. At only 24 years old, she studied dance and drama from the age of 5, became a model at 13, and later won the American Model Award at a modeling competition in 1999, subsequently becoming an actress.
Previously, with a hit movie, Mikayla Baines was nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Actress and subsequently graced the covers of top fashion magazines including GQ, Maxim, ELLE, FHM, and Vogue. At the end of last year, she was even named the 16th most beautiful woman in the world by America's People magazine.
Every beautiful star who achieves great success in Hollywood possesses a top-tier Physique that makes everyone drool, especially those female stars who started as models. Their experiences have kept their figures hot and sexy, making them targets for countless top tycoons.
Mikayla Baines, of mixed heritage, possesses the world's most exquisite and unique appearance. Coming from an Irish Catholic family, she was strictly disciplined by her parents and was very cautious in her relationships.
Mikayla Baines had also publicly declared herself to be a pure maiden, a claim acknowledged by her boyfriend of several years. However, both coming from Irish families, they were strictly required to follow religious teachings and could only have their own lives after marriage.
Just like the world-famous Kaka and Caroline, they studied the Bible together, attended church services, strictly fulfilled their duties as believers, and rejected premarital acts.
It was precisely because of such matters that Mikayla Baines became even more highly regarded, and her status in the hearts of global movie fans rose even higher.
Of course, Ling Xiao knew that what this beauty said was not true. Oh my, this was America, this was Hollywood, how could such a thing be possible? As a Cultivator proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and having given Mikayla Baines so many massages, how could he not know the truth?
Although her claim of being a pure maiden was false, Ling Xiao could tell that this beauty didn't have much of a nightlife, and she and her boyfriend were always together less often than apart. For example, Ling Xiao had never seen the rumored boyfriend at Baines Manor, and it was clear that their relationship wasn't as intimate as they had previously claimed.
Ling Xiao met Mikayla at Baines Manor. This beautiful woman had a tall figure of nearly 1.8 meters, distinctive blue-gray eyes, and a beautiful face. Unlike the skeletal figures of traditional models, Mikayla Baines's Physique appeared very healthy.
In terms of both figure and looks, Mikayla Baines was top-tier in the world, with typical long, straight black hair and the tall, rigorously sculpted figure of a supermodel, providing the ultimate visual and physiological enjoyment.
Before such a top beauty, it would be difficult for anyone to remain completely unmoved. Even a monk who had diligently Cultivated his entire life would probably not dare to say that his heart didn't stir at all, especially when this beauty was constantly teasing him.
"Alright, Mi Qi, let's get started." In a special quiet room, Ling Xiao had Mikayla Baines, dressed only in her intimate underwear, lie face down on the massage bed, then turned to light the incense burner nearby.
By the time Ling Xiao turned back, Mikayla had already reached out and unfastened her underwear, then lightly tossed it aside, lying prone on the massage bed, leaving only a smooth, beautiful back for Ling Xiao, while also giving Ling Xiao an extremely seductive look.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, but he still took a deep breath, using his strong self-control to calm himself. His True Qi circulated within his body, and his hands slowly pressed onto Mikayla Baines's back.
While massaging, Ling Xiao casually asked, "Mi Qi, I remember the last treatment was just a week ago. Why did you call me again so soon?"
"Don't you know?" Mikayla Baines said softly, eyes closed, enjoying Ling Xiao's perfectly timed massage. "There's a jewelry exhibition at the Natural History Museum on Sunday. I have to go wear a top-tier piece of jewelry from there for a fashion show, so I need to make myself look beautiful. What do you think? Are you interested? Come with me."
I feel like I'm about to get scolded.
