A moment later.
A rich array of dishes was laid out on the table.
First course: 24K Gold Leaf Steak with Black Truffle Foie Gras Sauce.
Second course: Carlo Casino-exclusive Lobster Roll, made with whole lobster meat and caviar wrapped in a buttered bun, with gold leaf also wrapped around the outside of the bun.
Third course: Tycoon Char Siu Bao, made with Kurobuta pork and ten-year aged soy sauce, each bun adorned with edible gold dust.
Fourth course: Volcanic Lava Doughnut, injected with liquid nitrogen caramel sauce, served with smoke billowing like a volcanic eruption.
When Shi Wu saw these dishes, she thought they were merely extravagant, and the taste might be ordinary.
However, the moment the food entered her mouth, she immediately retracted her prejudice.
So delicious.
Every food and seasoning blended perfectly, instantly stimulating her taste buds.
Her favorite was still the first course, the medium-rare steak; with one cut, myoglobin flowed along the meat's grain, creating a huge visual impact.
"Do you like it?" Pei Yanzhi looked at her expectantly, like a child asking for a reward.
Shi Wu raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded.
Pei Yanzhi's eyes were fixed on her red lips, watching her chew again and again.
The meat in her mouth was so fortunate.
At this moment, Pei Yanzhi's fingers trembled slightly.
He had an urge to put his fingers into her mouth...
No more meat, how about eating him?
"Such delicious food would be even better with fine wine," Shi Wu said softly.
"There is a good bottle of wine here, but I buried it."
"Miss Shi, wait a moment; I'll go dig out the wine right now."
Pei Yanzhi said, quickly getting up and walking towards the backyard.
In reality, there were many other wines in the villa.
Pei Yanzhi was particularly sensitive and usually relied on alcohol to fall asleep.
So he always kept various wines at his residence.
But he felt that those ordinary fine wines were not worthy of Shi Wu's mouth.
The only wine he thought was suitable for Shi Wu to drink was the bottle of fine vintage buried underground for ten years.
Shi Wu sat at the table, enjoying the delicacies, while glancing at the man digging outside.
A moment later, Pei Yanzhi walked in, holding a wine bottle covered in mud.
After being cleaned, it was placed in front of Shi Wu; the water droplets on the bottle reflected the pulsating veins in her neck, and Pei Yanzhi was so engrossed that when he pulled out the cork, the corkscrew scratched the hand he was holding the bottle with.
"Damn it!" Pei Yanzhi's eyes instantly darkened.
His face was full of displeasure.
But the next second, the woman's cheek suddenly drew closer.
Immediately after, she lifted his hand, lowered her head, and kissed the wound.
Her warm mouth slowly absorbed that trace of blood.
The demon that had almost burst forth in his heart instantly vanished at this moment.
Instead, a warm feeling enveloped his heart.
So comfortable.
So delightful.
Shi Wu calmly poured a glass of wine and swallowed it, mixed with the blood in her mouth.
What a wonderful feeling, like fireworks exploding in her mind.
"It truly is good wine..." Her soft voice took on a hint of hoarseness.
She was like a delicate rose blooming in the desert.
She was truly too beautiful!
Thump, thump.
Pei Yanzhi's heart raced wildly, completely ignoring the wound on his finger.
He couldn't feel any pain anymore.
She must have been sent by heaven to save him, right?
"So dizzy..."
Shi Wu, who had just praised the good wine, fell directly into a drunken stupor after finishing one glass.
"Oh no." Pei Yanzhi frantically supported Shi Wu, who was about to fall.
He forgot to tell her that this wine had a very high alcohol content.
He knelt down, picked up Shi Wu, and walked step by step towards the bedroom on the second floor.
His second-floor bedroom had an entire glass wall, and the bed faced the glass; if one slept in this bed, upon waking, he would see a lush green forest.
This entire mountain belonged to him; he loved being here, where he could do whatever he liked without restraint.
He sat by the bed, looking at the sleeping Shi Wu, and the little devil in his heart stirred again.
In the bedside drawer was a custom collar he had, with a chip embedded in it.
On the first basement floor of the house, there was an iron room; entering it required retinal recognition.
His outstretched hand trembled continuously in mid-air.
He had an urge to imprison her.
He was on the verge of losing balance between sanity and madness.
He just watched her sleep quietly until late at night.
The drunken Shi Wu finally woke up.
She rubbed her eyes and saw the man standing on the balcony, smoking.
The night light fell on him, and a wisp of smoke rose from his fingertips.
Shi Wu watched for a long time.
It wasn't until she saw the man press the hot cigarette butt into his palm to extinguish it that a smile appeared on her lips.
She loved it.
Pei Yanzhi turned, and their eyes met.
"You're awake?" Pei Yanzhi was a little surprised, but also a little disappointed.
Would she leave now that she was awake?
Unfortunately, sanity won the fight against madness earlier.
But now he regretted it a little; he wished sanity had lost the fight.
He hated himself for wanting to maintain his image in front of Shi Wu...
"Carlo Casino should be very lively at this hour," Shi Wu said casually.
Actually, she had wanted to go during the day; the casino's hidden menu would, of course, be more interesting to eat at the casino.
It was just a pity she got drunk.
"You want to go?"
"Alright!"
Pei Yanzhi couldn't hide the smile on his face.
How wonderful, he had another chance to be with her.
Carlo Casino.
As the car stopped at the entrance, they saw a security guard throwing a man onto the roadside.
"Your casino is a scam; I'm going to expose you!"
Pei Yanzhi frowned.
He waved to a nearby security guard and asked, "What's going on?"
"He was cheating," the security guard said, his gaze falling on Shi Wu standing beside Pei Yanzhi, and his eyes instantly lit up.
She was so beautiful!
Even her strands of hair were beautiful.
Pei Yanzhi stepped forward, blocking the security guard's view, and said in a cold voice: "Have you forgotten what happens to those who cheat at Carlo Casino?"
"Yes." The security guard quickly nodded, and several people hurried forward, dragging the man into a nearby alley.
A few seconds later, screams came from the alley.
Pei Yanzhi led Shi Wu into the casino.
As people gambling turned their heads, their gaze could no longer be withdrawn, and even the dealer stopped their actions.
Pei Yanzhi's jealousy flared up, and he involuntarily took Shi Wu's hand, quickly moving through the main hall to the VIP area.
It wasn't until they reached an empty corridor that Pei Yanzhi suddenly remembered he was still holding her hand and quickly let go.
"I'm, I'm sorry."
"Too many people were looking at you just now."
He wished he could gouge out the eyeballs of that group of people.
He only wanted to exclusively possess Shi Wu's beauty.
"Mr. Pei, would you like to gamble another round with me?" Shi Wu asked.
