Chapter 199: 3-Day Leisure Tour
When the personal butler left, Lin Wan immediately wore her heart on her sleeve, "Such an expensive suite, you really have money to burn!"
"Relax, relax!" Lu Zheng wrapped Lin Wan in his arms and led her to the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the unbeatable sea view, "It's rare to get out like this, don't fret over the money. This amount, the interest from my savings can cover it. Just say, is it worth it?"
"Worth it! Absolutely worth it!" Lin Wan's heart was actually as sweet as can be.
…
First, they took a ride on the Ferris wheel, and by the time they got down, it was noon. They returned to the hotel, went directly upstairs to the large ship on the roof, and enjoyed an extravagant seafood feast at the rooftop restaurant. They toured the sky garden, and in the afternoon… the infinity pool, you know…
In the evening, they admired the night view of Marina Bay Garden, and then had authentic local seafood barbecue at Old Pier. Lu Zheng looked around; the tourists and locals were evenly split. Despite the hustle, everyone was polite, with no rowdy troublemakers coming to embarrass him.
Finally, back at the hotel, after devouring several oysters, Lu Zheng's eyes sparkled. Cheerfully, he headed to the bathroom with Lin Wan.
…
You have to admit, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the brilliant lights while watching the shadows of the two intertwined figures in the reflection of the window, really had its own unique charm.
…
The next day, sunlight streamed through the curtains onto Lu Zheng's face, gently waking him. But as soon as he moved, Lin Wan woke up too.
"It's still early, want to sleep a little more?" Lu Zheng asked.
"No need, let's make the most of the time!" Lin Wan shook her head.
"So eager?" Lu Zheng looked surprised, his hand already sliding down, "Alright, let's make the most of the time!"
"Are you crazy!" Lin Wan slapped Lu Zheng's hand away, "I meant making the most of the time eating and going out to have fun!"
Lu Zheng laughed heartily, dodging Lin Wan's punch as he got up to wash up. When he returned, he saw Lin Wan sitting on the bed, playing with her phone, showing a big smile.
"What are you looking at?"
"Checking my friends' circle." Lin Wan shook her phone, looking delighted.
"What's being said?" Lu Zheng, full of gossip curiosity, sat down next to Lin Wan, leaning over to look. He hadn't had time to check his phone yesterday, while Lin Wan had managed to browse a bit afterward.
Just as he expected, Lin Wan posted a nine-grid Pic on her friends' circle: there was the Ferris wheel, the sky observation deck, the infinity pool, the garden at night, and the seafood feast, with a photo of her and Lu Zheng in the sky garden in the center, and finally a location tag.
New Jia Bei·Marina Bay·Golden Sands Hotel
A perfectly executed Versailles style boast, a downright show-off post.
Li Jinglin: Eat well, drink well, play well
Huang Xiumin: Ahhh, jealousy makes me disintegrate!!
Liang Yuandong: Envy [envy.jpg]
Su Mengmeng: So romantic
Liu Leng: Sis, releasing toxins late at night, and I only have instant noodles, you're too much
Lin's Mother: Heard it's chaotic overseas, stay safe outside, don't just focus on taking pictures [smile.jpg]
The rest were people Lu Zheng didn't know, but the likes had already surpassed five rows, proving Lin Wan really went big this time. She normally doesn't post much on her friends' circle.
"Are there any remarks from plastic sisters, let me see?" Lu Zheng was full of gossip.
"Go away, where are there any plastic sisters." Lin Wan pushed Lu Zheng away, put down her phone, and went to wash up.
…
The next day, Lu Zheng arranged a day trip to Sentosa Island. During the day, they visited the Marine Aquarium and Universal Studios, and at night toured the Night Safari—it was undoubtedly the busiest day.
Back at the hotel, Lin Wan posted another friends' circle post, unsurprisingly receiving a box of lemons again.
They also bought various souvenirs; the Aksuna Egyptian-style dress was admired by both long into the night, exploring its various designs in detail.
…
On the third day, a leisurely tour, they finally visited Merlion Park, a childhood landmark with the New Jia Bei signature Merlion. Taking a photo with Merlion fulfilled a childhood wish.
"Doesn't seem particularly special." Lin Wan strolled leisurely with Lu Zheng on the streets of New Jia Bei, "Seems it's not exactly more bustling than Hai City."
"Hai City is also an international first-tier metropolis, don't take your blessings for granted." Lu Zheng laughed, "If you really compare the development level of cities, worldwide probably fewer than ten can rival Hai City."
Lin Wan counted on her fingers and realized there might not actually be ten.
They visited the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, then returned to the hotel in the afternoon, went to see the Marina Bay Sands Art Museum, and once again went to the rooftop sky garden and infinity pool.
After all, it's the special feature of the Sands Hotel, swimming atop dozens of floors was previously only seen in movies.
For such an expensive room fee, these complimentary privileges must be thoroughly enjoyed.
Capitalist society, so friendly to those with money!
Lu Zheng wore a floral shirt and big underpants, sunglasses big enough to cover a bullfrog, holding a cup of fresh juice, lying on a lounge chair beside the pool.
In the pool, Lin Wan changed into a one-piece sapphire blue swimsuit, gliding gracefully through the water like a mermaid.
"Whoosh!"
Breaking through the water, elegantly flicking her hair, Lin Wan asked Lu Zheng, "Not coming down?"
Lu Zheng raised his juice, "I'll come down after finishing this."
Lin Wan smiled slightly, beckoning to Lu Zheng with a hooked finger, flying a seductive glance, then leaned back and dove in, like a mermaid into the pool.
"Hiss—"
Lu Zheng couldn't help it, fiercely sucked down the large cup of juice.
Off went the clothes, into the pool!
…
In the evening, after an afternoon of exercise, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had dinner, walked hand in hand into the famous Marina Bay Sands Entertainment City.
"New Jia Bei has only two such places, one here, controlled by the Las Vegas Sands Group, another in Sentosa controlled by Malaysia's Yun Ding Group." Lin Wan remarked, "We didn't see the one in Sentosa yesterday?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "Sentosa is quite large, but we only went to the Marine Aquarium and Universal Studios yesterday, there are places like World of Wonders we didn't visit. I didn't find it interesting since sunshine and beaches are also in Phuket Island, so I didn't include it in the itinerary."
"Hmm." Lin Wan nodded, looking at the rows of various machines with a puzzled expression, "What's fun about these things?"
"Have you ever played?" Lu Zheng asked.
"No." Lin Wan shook her head.
Lu Zheng said, "I haven't either, let's try and see."
Lu Zheng exchanged chips, and played different games with Lin Wan.
After playing the machines, they went to the middle court, and then lost everything on Blackjack and Texas Hold'em, leaving just one chip.
"Oh dear, I thought you'd become a gambling expert, but turns out not." Lin Wan covered her mouth laughing, "See, Hu Fei always wins every round, can you do it?"
"You know better than anyone whether I can or not." Lu Zheng raised his brows at Lin Wan, then stopped at a dice game table.
"It's the last chip." Lu Zheng tossed the chip and caught it again, "If Hu Fei can do it, so can I. Watch me recoup my expenses from this trip and earn all travel money back!"
…
Over an hour later, even though the middle court's max bet per round wasn't high, Lu Zheng leisurely won nearly two hundred thousand New Yuan.
No choice, striking a few rounds of triple sixes now and then meant dozens of times the payout.
Declining the invitation to the VIP lounge, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan exchanged their chips, joyously celebrated at a nightclub, then returned to their room to rest.
The next morning, they directly flew to Phuket Island.
