Dragon Head Supreme Chapter 149
Chapter 149: A Rabbit Doesn’t Eat the Grass Near Its Den
Little Man’s figure and looks were no less impressive than Wu Li Hong’s. Within this establishment, she was considered one of the top choices. Her skin was even more delicate and fair than most girls, adding an extra charm to her allure.
She leaned against Chen Xue Wen, the faint fragrance of a young woman lingering around her, causing his body to tense slightly. Feeling his quickened breath, Little Man let out a soft chuckle, her hand playfully sliding downward.
However, just as she moved, Chen Xue Wen suddenly grasped her wrist. One hand on her shoulder, the other firmly holding her wrist, he gently pushed her back, creating a gap between them.
“Go get some rest,” he said calmly, waving his hand as if nothing had happened.
Little Man froze, staring at him in confusion. If before, his rejection was because of Wu Li Hong, this time it was Wu Li Hong who had sent her. Why was he still refusing?
“Brother Wen, are you worried that Sister Hong will get jealous?” she asked softly. “She already said she wouldn’t mind you doing this.”
“She’s the one who told me to come here. And I… I also want to accompany you.”
As she said the last part, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. In her heart, Chen Xue Wen was like a great hero, someone she admired deeply.
Chen Xue Wen chuckled. “That’s not the reason.”
Her eyes turned slightly red. “Then… why?”
“Brother Wen… do you find me unworthy?”
“You’ve got it wrong, Little Man.” Chen Xue Wen sighed. “You and Li Hong, both of you work hard for your livelihoods, carrying responsibilities I respect deeply. I climbed up from the filth; I have no right to look down on anyone.”
“But a man has to live by certain principles and boundaries.”
“And besides, a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its den. I hope you understand this in the future.”
Tears welled up in Little Man’s eyes as she nodded fervently. “Brother Wen, you truly are a man of honor! Meeting you is the greatest blessing of my life!”
Chen Xue Wen merely smiled, saying nothing more.
Little Man dressed herself, wiped her reddened eyes, and turned toward the door. Just as she was about to step out, she suddenly leaned in and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.
Then, as if committing a crime, she blushed fiercely and hurriedly slipped out of the room.
Chen Xue Wen was momentarily stunned. By the time he snapped back to reality, she had already disappeared down the hall. He let out a faint sigh and was about to close the door when he noticed a figure sneaking up the stairs.
Peering through the narrow gap of the door, he recognized the person—it was the fair-skinned woman from the front desk who had checked them in earlier. Her suspicious movements immediately put him on guard.
Silently, he shut the door and observed through the peephole. The woman looked around cautiously before making her way to the room diagonally across from his. She knocked lightly on the door.
Moments later, the door opened slightly, and Gu Hong Bing peeked out before swiftly pulling her inside.
Before the door even closed, the two were already locked in an intense embrace, kissing passionately.
Chen Xue Wen stood frozen, his mind momentarily blank as he took in the scene unfolding before him.
Gu Hong Bing had been trailing behind Ding Three for quite some time, barely uttering a word. Chen Xue Wen had assumed he was just a quiet, honest guy.
Who would have thought that this guy was the type to explode in a single move?
They had barely been inside Eternal Peace Hotel for an hour, and this bastard had already charmed the front desk girl?
A true prodigy!
Chen Xue Wen clicked his tongue in amazement but didn’t dwell on it. Other people’s personal affairs weren’t his concern.
Once inside his room, he secured the chain lock, then set up a few traps near the door and windows before lying down to rest.
These traps weren’t for decoration.
If someone so much as nudged open the door or window, an immediate noise would wake him up, giving him enough time to react.
Fortunately, the night passed without incident. Chen Xue Wen had a solid sleep until morning.
The next day, he made his way downstairs to Eternal Peace Hotel’s restaurant for breakfast and, to his surprise, spotted Gu Hong Bing sitting at a table, casually drinking milk.
The guy even had a sheepish, honest-looking grin plastered on his face—like some farmhand fresh from the countryside.
Chen Xue Wen grabbed a tray of food and sat beside him. “Where’s Third Brother? Why didn’t he come down for breakfast?”
Gu Hong Bing answered, “Third Brother left early to take care of some business.”
Chen Xue Wen raised an eyebrow. “That early?”
Gu Hong Bing sipped his milk and nodded. “He had to get in line at the bank.”
Ah, right.
Last night, he had handed Ding Three a check worth three million. The guy was probably dealing with that now.
Since he trusted Ding Three, there was no need to overthink it.
Before long, Li Er Yong, Lai Hou, and the others dragged themselves downstairs, yawning like a pack of half-dead dogs.
Li Er Yong, who happened to be staying next to Gu Hong Bing, gave him a sideways glance as he stuffed his mouth with food. “Hong Bing, what the hell were you doing in your room last night?”
“That damn bed was squeaking all night. Was it too soft or something?”
Gu Hong Bing, ever the picture of innocence, chuckled. “I’m not used to soft beds.”
Lai Hou snorted. “Bullshit!”
“I could’ve sworn I heard a woman’s voice too. She sounded miserable, man.”
Li Er Yong waved him off. “You’re hearing things, you idiot.”
“Hong Bing went back to his room alone last night. What woman?”
Lai Hou scratched his head. “Then maybe I was hearing things…”
Chen Xue Wen barely held back his laughter. These two idiots were still doubting their own ears.
Just then, Lai Hou turned to him with a sly grin. “Brother Wen, what about you? Little Man went into your room last night, but she came out real fast.”
Li Er Yong perked up, suddenly invested. “Wen Zi, you good? Feeling alright?”
“That quick, huh?”
Chen Xue Wen’s face darkened. “You two got nothing better to do at night than spy on people’s rooms? The hell is wrong with you?”
The two goons just grinned mischievously. “We just heard something in the hallway and took a peek.”
“Brother Wen, if you’ve got… issues, I know a great old Chinese doctor who specializes in kidney deficiency…”
Chen Xue Wen waved a hand dismissively. “Get lost!”
The two chuckled, scooting off to whisper among themselves. Who knew what nonsense they were cooking up now?
Irritated, Chen Xue Wen snapped, “If you two have that much free time, hurry up and finish eating so you can get back to the shop.”
“Damn it, I, Chen Xue Wen, stand tall with righteous principles, so why the hell am I surrounded by these clowns?”
After breakfast, the group headed back to Electronic Dynasty.
Around eleven, Ding Three swaggered in, his energy through the roof.
“Wen Zi! It’s done!”
“One million—spent!”
Chen Xue Wen blinked. One million? In one morning?
Lai Hou gawked. “Third Brother, a million? That fast?”
“What the hell did you spend it on?”
Ding Three chuckled and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Chen Xue Wen. “Look at this.”
Chen Xue Wen scanned it quickly. It was a letter of appreciation.
Bold and clear, it expressed gratitude for Electronic Dynasty’s generous donation to Old Square’s New Spring Cultural Performance.
Chen Xue Wen’s eyes widened. “Third Brother… you… you donated a million!?”
