Chapter 68 Luxury Hotel
As soon as the two of them got off the ne in Sanya City, they felt the unique tropical atmosphere
of Hainan Ind.
There were already people waiting for them at the airport—well-trained men dressed in all ck. ''I
love being rich, '' Mary thought to herself.
Along the way, she spotted a spectacle—a crowd was watching the tide. Needless to say, she was
hyped up. "Can I go out tonight? I want to check out the seaside."
"Have you finished reading the document?" William nced at her.
"Do I really need to do that today?" Mary whined.
"You can go out tonight."
"Really?" Mary''s eyes lit up.
"But you should go out with me."
A shadow immediately cast over Mary''s face. She faltered, "I think I''m still tired from the flight. I
think I have to rest tonight. I''m so exhausted."
"This is an order." ''An order again!'' she scoffed inwardly. She bit her lips in frustration. All it took was
for him to dere something was an order to get her to do something. Wasn''t he getting tired of
this?
"Looks like you aren''t willing to do this." William raised his head.
"No, no," Mary replied perfunctorily. ''Why should I go out with you? Will I gain anything from it?'' she
thought. The look on his face was unfathomable but his charm worked like a spell on women. She
was trapped. She couldn''t protest, object, or even be jealous. What was she supposed to do?
The unhappiness on her face was undeniable which made William feel helpless. He didn''t know
much about women but all the other women he''d met before seemed to be happy to go out with
him.
''But Mary, you don''t really want to be with me. Do you still hate me? Or have you truly fallen in love
with Victor already?''
Just the mere thought of this made him go crazy. How could Mary be in love with him?
"No, you can''t!"
"What? Can''t do what?" Mary asked, visibly at a loss. Her initial excitement had faded away.
"Nothing," William said in a huff.
"Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan, we''re here." "All right." Then William got out of the car. Mary followed him, a
nk look on her face.
"Wow!" She eximed upon seeing the hotel. "This hotel is luxurious!"
The hotel was conveniently located near the beach. It was designed to look like the Sydney Opera
House or a sailboat. The hotel was surrounded by tworge parks—one in front and one behind.
Mary was in awe as she looked around—the green coconut trees, the exquisite stone road, and all
the details that added up to the hotel''s charm.
"Wow, so many cars!" Mary nced at the hotel gate. "Lamborghini, Cayenne, BMW, Mercedes
Benz... Fe...Ferrari! Oh my God!"
William couldn''t help but notice Mary ogle over the car.
He asked coldly, "You like Ferraris?" "Do you have one?" She turned to look at William expectantly.
Who knows when else she could meet a wealthy man like William? She might as well enjoy herself!
"I can have one if I want to," William simply said, raising his eyebrows.
"Mr. Lan, you''re here!"
A lovely-looking woman came from the hotel door. She seemed to be their weing party. Her
hair was coiled up high. She wore high heels that she paired with a bright-colored slip dress. She
seemed chic as she walked up to William, a beautiful smile on her face
Anyone who saw her would instantly think how much of a beauty she was. She looked noble and
elegant. Mary suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Miss Zhang." William nodded and shook hands with her.
"Mr. Lan, you''re finally here. How was your trip?" the woman asked. Her voice was pleasant-
sounding.
"It was fine." William nodded.
"This way, please."

"Okay."
Mary couldn''t help but notice how tantly she had just been ignored.
"Oh." William suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, I forgot to introduce her to you."
"Hmm?"
"This is my wife, Mary," said William, taking Mary''s hand gently.
"Wi...Wife?" The woman had a look of disbelief on her face. "Mr. Lan, you got married?"
"Yes, not long ago." William nodded.
"Hello," Mary greeted her with a perfectly polite smile.
"Hello." The woman quickly collected herself. Still smiling pleasantly, she exined, "I''m the
manager of this hotel, Alisa Zhang."
"Nice to meet you." Mary nodded.
"This way, please. Follow me." Alisa then stretched out her arm as she made her way inside the
hotel lobby.
"Okay."
"Mrs. Lan, have you ever been here before?" Alisa Zhang asked, trying to hide the bitterness in her
heart.
"No, it''s my first time here." Mary held William''s arm and said with a smile, "Your hotel''s amazing!
It''s really beautiful!"
The three of them took the sightseeing elevator. It allowed them to get a good view of everything —
the beach, the park, the sceneries.
"Oh thank you, Mrs. Lan," Alisa Zhang said with a smile. "You have an excellent view of the beach
and the entire Hainan Ind from your suite. I''m sure you will enjoy it."
"That''s great."
When they arrived at the presidential suite at the 10th floor of the hotel, Alisa stopped at the door
and said, "Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan, please rest well. I''ll leave you two alone now. If you need anything,
please don''t hesitate to call me."
"Wait a minute." William suddenly stopped her. "Anything else, Mr. Lan?"
"Well..." William rubbed his nose and said, "I was wondering if you''re free tonight?"
"Umm..." Alisa nced at Mary. "Yes, I''m free. Why do you ask, Mr. Lan?"
"I was nning to take a walk around the neighborhood," William exined. "I was wondering if you
could be my tour guide."
"It would be my honor." Alisa was pleasantly surprised. "Will Mrs. Lan apany us?"
"Oh, I''m afraid she needs to rest from the tiring flight."
Mary suddenly squeezed William''s arm as hard as she could and shot him a warning look.
"How about I drop by the suite at seven tonight?" Alisa purposely ignored the underlying tension
between the two as she pasted a smile on her face.
"Sounds great."
"All right then." Alisa turned around and left, giddy with excitement.
"What are you doing?" As soon as Alisa was out of earshot, William frowned and turned to Mary.
"Humph!" Mary shook off his arm and said, "My hand was cramping, okay?" ''What the hell, William?
I thought you wanted me to go out with you tonight? Why are you suddenly asking this woman out?
You even seem to be enjoying yourself! Then go out with that beautiful woman!
"Weird." William took out the room card and entered the room first.
"Oh my God!" Mary followed behind him as they entered the suite. "Wow! It''s so fancy! It''s even
better than your house in Kylin International!"
"Can you stop shouting?" William threw his coat on the sofa and said, "You''re acting like some
naive, little girl that''s never seen the world before."
"Well, it''s true. I haven''t traveled much but I''m not some naive, little girl." Mary stuck her tongue out
at him, grinning yfully.
William shook his head helplessly, at a loss for words.
When she saw the wall-sized wine cer and bar counter in the living room, she cried, "This is so
awesome!"
The next thing that caught her attention was the king-sized bed in the bedroom. She immediately
jumped on it in pure excitement. She squealed. "It''s so soft andfortable!"
She then dashed to the balcony and opened her arms, relishing the sea breeze. She closed her
eyes and beamed. "I''m so happy!"
Since she entered the suite, she had been running around, animated and lively. William couldn''t
help himself—he grinned as he watched Mary race around the room in pure zeal.
When she turned her back to him, he secretly took out his phone and quickly took a photo.
"I''m so tired..." After inspecting the room, Mary slumped onto the sofa.
"I didn''t know ''tired'' was in your vocabry." He discreetly slid his phone back in his pocket.
"Yes..." Mary nodded reluctantly. Suddenly, the phone in the suite began ringing.
William stood up to answer it. "Hello? Hmm... Okay, I''m going now. Okay."
Mary fixed her gaze at William. When he hung up, she asked, "You''re going out?"
"Yes," William answered, his hands shoved in his pockets. "I''m going out with Miss Zhang. Just stay
here. Don''t go anywhere, okay?"
"Why?" Mary pursed her lips. "Howe you can go out and I can''t? That''s unfair."
"Well, you can go out if you want to but I have the room card with me. If you return and I''m not here
yet, you''re stuck outside." William took the room card out of his pocket and unted it midair
proudly.
"If you''re taking the room card with you, will I still have water and electricity here?"
"Oh, didn''t I tell you? The room card of the presidential suite is only for opening and locking the
room. It doesn''t have control over water and electricity."
"You can stay here and peruse the document."
"I''ll bring you food when I get back. What do you want to eat?"
"Really?" Mary rolled her eyes. "I want barbecue. Lots of it."
"Okay." William smiled. "Anything else?"
"I think I want pineapple and a coconut drink." "Okay."
Mary couldn''t help but wonder why he seemed to be in such a good mood that day.
"Then I''m leaving."
"Wait a minute," Mary called. "Can I drink the wine here?"
"Yes, you can." "Do I need to pay for it?"
"You want to drink?" William peered up at her.
"I do." Mary nodded vigorously.
"Then just drink the wine," William said tly.
"I don''t need to pay for it?"
"You don''t."
"Wow! That''s great!" Mary jumped in excitement. "Then you can leave now."
William was rendered speechless. "Don''t drink too much. If you get drunk, I''ll throw you out of the
room."
"All right, all right!" Mary waved her hand as she made her way to the bar counter to look at all the
wine. "Don''t worry about me!"
"Okay..." Looking at her affectionately, William opened the door and left, a smile pasted on his face.
''What a silly girl! That''s all she wants?''
