The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Xu Xi and Xu Nian were completely unaware of what was happening outside the hotel. They walked straight into the elevator and headed to the 20th floor of the hotel.

Yang Ming arranged room 2003, which is the hotel's best-designed presidential suite with the most expansive view.

The suite not only has two bedrooms, but also a separate study, an open kitchen, a private pool and a Jacuzzi, and even a small bar tucked away in the corner.

This is not just a place to stay, but a private palace that combines top-notch luxury with multifunctional facilities.

Pulling back the curtains in the living room reveals a golden beach and an endless sea.

Xu Nian drew back the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room, and the golden sand and the boundless sea instantly came into view.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, drifted in through the cracks.

He sat on the sofa by the window, his fingertips unconsciously brushing against the leather armrest, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Compared to this place, the presidential suite at the Yuntianlou Hotel where he used to work was as rudimentary as a youth hostel next to a train station.

Hawaii truly lives up to its name; a paradise for the wealthy.

The two had barely sat down when there was a knock on the door of the suite.

The two had barely sat down for two minutes when there was a knock on the door of the suite.

Xu Nian got up to open the door. Several burly men stood outside. The man in the lead stood tall and straight. When he saw Xu Nian open the door, he immediately gave a standard military salute and said in a loud voice, "Hello, Mr. Xu."

The man stood still and handed over an ID card, which clearly read: Longteng North America Security Group Co., Ltd.

"Sinian Security?" Xu Xi walked over upon hearing the voice, his eyes instantly turning wary. He glanced at Long Teng and said, "I don't remember having this company under my control."

Long Teng explained respectfully and neither servilely nor arrogantly, "It was established on the orders of Director Yang Ming. The security situation in North America is not as stable as in China. We are all retired military personnel from China, and after professional training, we are specifically responsible for protecting the group's senior management in North America."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Nian and said, "You must be Mr. Xu Nian, right? I have heard about your deeds and admire you greatly."

"Uh, thank you." Xu Nian scratched her head, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

Xu Xi frowned and thought for a moment. Yang Ming had indeed mentioned the establishment of an overseas security company to her a year ago, but at that time she was focused on her main business and forgot about it.

She took out her phone and called Yang Ming. After confirming their identities, she stepped aside to make room for them, saying, "Come in."

She called Yang Ming to confirm their identities, then stepped aside to let them into the suite.

Long Teng and his team entered the suite and immediately took out various instruments from their backpacks, conducting a thorough inspection of the entire room.

They even checked the sewers and the corners of the wardrobes to ensure there were no cameras or listening devices.

After checking and finding nothing unusual, the group put away the equipment and went to report back to Xu Xi.

"Mr. Xu, we live in room 2004 next door. If you and Mr. Xu go out or need anything, please call us anytime."

Long Teng, with his sharp eyes, had already noticed the emotion that flashed in Xu Xi's eyes when he looked at Xu Nian.

Knowing what was about to happen, he wisely didn't linger.

Xu Xi smiled slightly and nodded, quite satisfied with his insight: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Long Teng said no more, led his men to close the door gently, and left with light steps.

The moment the door closed, the room fell silent again, with only the sound of their breathing mingling together.

Xu Xi turned around, the coldness in her eyes fading, replaced by a gentle smile. She stepped forward and reached out to unbutton Xu Nian's shirt.

"You must be tired after a long day on the plane. Let's take a shower together."

Xu Nian subconsciously reached into her pocket, only to find it empty. She then suddenly realized that she hadn't brought any luggage, and even her favorite little toys were left at home.

His heart skipped a beat; he knew something was wrong.

That's it, this time we really have to bite the bullet and go into battle ourselves.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and, pushed by the girl, entered the bathroom.

On the other side, Prince Zoro also successfully completed the check-in procedures and swiped his room card to open the door to room 2002.

The room only had a regular double bed, no bar, no bathtub, and even the view was a bit narrow, which was completely different from what he had expected.

Having grown accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, Zoro's face instantly darkened, his heart filled with displeasure.

However, his gloom was quickly swept away.

Just now, he obtained a briefing on Xu Nian from his bodyguard.

It turns out that Xu Nian was just an ordinary person with no prominent family background, no outstanding abilities, and not much wealth. He was able to sit in the position of chairman of Sinian Group entirely because of Miss Xu's support.

Compared to him, they are worlds apart.

He scoffed. This kind of trash, does she even deserve Miss Xu? Does she even deserve to compete with him?

He stood in front of the mirror, combed his hair, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes as he silently grumbled to himself.

With enough effort, no wall is too high to break down!

I finally managed to get Ms. Xu to come to Hawaii, so I must seize the opportunity to have a wonderful time with her.

But before that, he needs to get some rest.

He flew in overnight from North America, and jet lag left him exhausted. He needed to be well-rested so he could appear before Miss Xu in the best possible condition.

He was completely unaware that at that moment, the girl he longed for was being turned into a cream puff by the man he despised the most.

After quickly washing up, Zoro turned around and prepared to go to bed.

But the moment he saw the bed, he froze completely.

There was no mattress on the bed, and the bed frame was broken into several pieces scattered on the floor, making it impossible to fall asleep.

A surge of anger welled up inside him. He grabbed his phone, dialed the hotel reception, and yelled, "This is Zoro from room 2002! What's going on at your hotel? The bed is broken!"

The receptionist politely explained, "Sir, when you made your reservation, we informed you that the bed in room 2002 was damaged and is currently locked down, so it is not available to the public."

"But you insisted on checking in, and even said that if we couldn't check in, you would file a complaint against us."

"After informing you of your situation in advance, we only charged you half of the normal room rate before checking you in."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Zoro retorted instinctively, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had asked his bodyguard to book the room, and he hadn't asked about the details at all.

He clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Then give me room 2004."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zoro, room 2004 was checked in 30 minutes ago."

"Fuck!" Zoro couldn't take it anymore and smashed his phone on the ground, shattering the screen instantly.

He took a deep breath, pulled out another spare phone, and dialed the bodyguard's number. As soon as the call connected, he roared, "You idiot! You knew there was something wrong with room 2002, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

The bodyguard's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young Master, you said a while ago that I shouldn't question any of your decisions, and that I only need to obey unconditionally. You only care about the results, not the process."

Hearing this, Zoro was furious, but powerless to refute it. He could only grit his teeth and curse, "Are you an idiot? Can't you use your brain? I take back what I said. Next time something like this happens, you have to tell me beforehand!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zoro stared at the scattered bed frame on the floor, his anger finding no outlet.

He clenched his fist and said coldly into the phone, "Bring me the sleeping bag from the car, and hurry up!"

"Yes, sir!"
