Jasmine is completely dumbfounded. Seeing the man holding her hand and strides forward, she can
feel the temperature transmit from his palm to her heart. Her heart is beating fast.
She is flustered.
Pehry has teased her a lot of times. Sometimes he has gone too far, but she has never felt her heart
beating so fast like this...
Pehry leads her to the car. He opens the door and stuffs her in. Even so, he doesn't forget to raise his
hand to keep her from banging her head.
After getting in the car, he instructed the driver in a low voice, "Go back to school."
Jasmine is in a daze. Hearing this, she regains her senses. Thinking of the school entrance guard, she
whispers, "It is over the curfew time. I can't get back now."
Pehry stiffens for a moment and remembers that it is already late at night. It is rare for him not to force
her. He asks her for her opinion, "Where do you want to go?"
At this time, restaurants or coffee shops are closed. Only the bar is open. Thinking about it, she can
only go to the hotel. No matter what, she has to find a place to sleep.
Jasmine ponders for a while and makes her decision, "Take me to my school."
"What are you doing there?"
"There are quite a few hotels over there. I'll book a room for the night first and go back tomorrow
morning."
Pehry immediately remembers the hotel room near the college town. The decoration is simple and the
environment is dirty. No matter what, it is not a good place to sleep.
"Let's go to Hotel X."
"Yes." the driver starts the car.
Hotel X is a five-star hotel in the city. There are many branches both at home and abroad. It belongs to
high-end chain hotels. Many rich people prefer to stay there. The room rate there is higher than
Jasmine's one-month living expenses.
Upon hearing that Pehry is going to the X Hotel, Jasmine wants to refuse. However, she remembers
what he says just now: "Don't always think about money and reject others." She feels it is difficult to
decline his kindness now.
She struggles with herself for a long time. In the end, she doesn't say anything.
Forget it, he's going anyway. It's the same whether she says it or not.
Pehry is waiting for her refusal, but doesn't expect that she says nothing. He takes a glance at Jasmine
and finds she leans against the window, dozing off with her eyes half-narrowed.
He smiled. When he retracted his gaze, he finds the driver is peeking through the rear-view mirror.
Pehry is dumbfounded for a moment. Seeing the driver hurriedly withdraws his teasing gaze, Pehry
feels a little embarrassed.
He immediately stops smiling and looks out of the car window.
Silence falls over the night and the car. Both of them were hiding their beating hearts in a calm manner.
...
Twenty minutes later, the car drives to the entrance of the hotel. Before Pehry gets off the car, he
instructs the manager, "Bring me a suit of suitable clothes by eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Mr. Pehry."
"Jasmine." Pehry raises his eyebrows at the girl sitting in the car without moving. "Don't be
dumbfounded. Get off the car."
Jasmine slowly opens the car door and walks down. She is still wearing her yellow pajamas and feels a
little awkward standing at the golden gate of the hotel.
After they get off the car, the driver drives away. Pehry walks to Jasmine with his hands in his pockets
and says, "Do you have your ID card?"
"No, I didn't bring it with me."
Pehry nods and turns her back with both hands on her shoulders. "Do you see that row of sofas? Wait
for me. I'll be with you in one moment."
"Alright." Jasmine obediently walks to the sofa and feels relaxed a little when she sits down.
Pehry walks to the front desk of the hotel to check in. He takes out his ID card from the inside pocket of
his trousers and places it on the counter. He supports himself with one hand. His posture is casual but
his noble temperament makes no one dare to underestimate him.
Even though the shirt he wears is so inappropriate, the moment he stands there, one cannot ignore
him.
He looks powerful. Jasmine thinks of the first time she meets Pehry. She was tied up in the car. When
she saw this face, even if she didn't know his identity, she could still tell that this man was dangerous.
She'd better not to provoke him.
Has she known him for a long time now? That's why he feels less oppressive. Or has he not completely
released his energy?
When she is filling her head with foolish notions, Pehry has already checked in and walks over to the
sofa with the butler of the hotel.
He stops a few meters away from her and snaps his fingers, "Jasmine, let's go."
She regains her senses and hurriedly stands up to follow behind him to the elevator.
The butler of the hotel presses the button for them. Not long after, the elevator arrives. She follows
Pehry in. It seems that the butler is going to follow them too. But Pehry stops him.
"There's no need to come over."
The butler immediately retreats and nods respectfully, "Yes, sir."
After closing the elevator door, Pehry swipes his card and presses down on the 18th floor's button. He
takes out a room card from the card folder and hands it to her. "Here is yours so that you won't feel
uneasy."
Jasmine takes it and puts it in her pocket. At first, she doesn't feel anything. When she finds out later,
she realizes that she has already arrived at the door of the room.
"Aren't you going home?"
"Wow, you're so ruthless." Hearing her question, Pehry couldn't help but sigh, "It's so late. How can you
let me go home dressed like this?"
Jasmine whispers, "Doesn't you live alone? It doesn't matter if you go back..."
Pehry narrows his eyes and says ironically, "You know that I live alone. How thoughtful you are!"
"No..."
"So you can shut up." After saying that, Pehry directly swipes the door open and walks in, completely
ignoring her.
Jasmine has no choice but to follow after him. As soon as she enters the room, she is shocked by the
spacious and exquisite decoration.
The overall decoration of the hotel is based on gold and ceramic white. The wallpaper is a Nordic style
of dark patterns, sofas and tables are all coated with gold, looking very expensive.
Jasmine looks around. Apart from the living room, there were three doors leading to different rooms.
He has booked a suite.
Fortunately, there isn't only one bed.
Jasmine heaves a sigh of relief. When she looks up, she looks into Pehry's teasing gaze.
Pehry sees her relaxation. He has really suffered too many setbacks on her. He has already developed
immunity and even deliberately teases her with evil intent.
"What? Are you very disappointed by not seeing only one bed?"
Being alone in the room with him, Jasmine is tense. Hearing his unbridled jokes, she doesn't dare to
look around. "Don't talk nonsense."
