Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-6

Luan went to the bedroom and dressed in a new pair of clothes, since he was uncomfortable wearing the same clothes he had yesterday. He then left some clothes for Ingrid on the table next to the bed. Seeing the red stain on the bed sheet and the messy bed, he rummaged through the cabinets and found a clean set of bedding to change it.

After that, he went to the bathroom door that Ingrid was in and said, "There is a new set of clothes in the room. You can leave the clothes you were wearing in the laundry basket. In the meantime, I will be waiting in the living room."

"Ok..." Ingrid replied. She was a little embarrassed to be talking to an unknown man while still taking a shower.

After showering, Ingrid took the towel to get out and found herself naked in front of a huge mirror. Looking at the marks on her own body... she was completely speechless at that moment.

Countless handprints and bite marks were on her body. It looked like she had just survived a disaster.

Memories of her violent actions and kisses echoed in her brain. Now that she looked at it, she was really very embarrassed. Her face was red all the way down to the neck.

In fact, it didn't hurt that much. The marks looked scary, but it was most likely because of her own body. Her skin was very clear, so just a little pressure left a mark. Otherwise, it wouldn't have looked so scary either.

'Incidentally, I'm sure I wasn't this beautiful before. Did this happen because of cultivating?' To say that she was not happy about it would be lying. All women would like to look better. This was true even for her who spent most of her time studying.

Ingrid left the bathroom and went to the bedroom to change clothes. She was now wearing an outfit prepared by the hotel, which consisted of Calvin Klein jeans and a tight T-shirt with a light blue tank top also by Calvin Klein and a five-centimeter burgundy clog.

"Did you ask them to bring these clothes?" Ingrid asked. She had never worn such expensive and comfortable clothes before. After all, she was from a poor family, and the money she got she spent on books and used to pay for her studies. She was not like her sister who spent her money on clothes and bags.

Of course, where Monica got all this money from was always doubtful, but Ingrid didn't care about that, and she never tried to find out. If she had asked Monica, her sister wouldn't answer, since the two never had a very close relationship.

"Just now I called and they brought it," Luan replied.

Ingrid wasn't surprised at the end, since she knew he was the heir to the Dimas Corporation. She evaluated Luan once again and admitted to herself that he was the most beautiful and elegant man she had ever met. He was wearing a white polo shirt, jeans, and black sneakers. His short white hair with big white lashes and red eyes were enough to cause Ingrid's heart to skip a beat, and his full lips and symmetrical chin and nose were downright spectacular. Although he seemed indifferent, it gave her a sense of security seeing him act this way.

Perhaps she felt safe because of what he did with the porn director Rafael, or even because she discovered that he was a cultivator... Whatever it was, she felt safe being with him.

"Are we going to leave now, or do you want to go later?" Luan asked.

"Yes, let's go, but before that, can I use your cell phone?" Ingrid asked, wanting to call her mother.

"Of course." He handed his cell phone to her.

Minutes later, she returned and handed over his cell phone. "It's done, thanks."

"Okay, now are we going?" Luan asked again.

"Yes let's go." she nodded and the two left together.

When they were about to leave, Ingrid became off balance because of her high heels, and almost fell.

Luan acted quickly and grabbed her by the shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Ingrid blushed a little, ashamed, and said, "I'm fine, thanks." She thought, 'I almost never wear high heels. I'm not used to wearing them...'

"Okay then." Luan released her shoulder once Ingrid regained her balance.

"Mister Dimas is leaving? Do you need us to provide you with a car?" The moment they reached the first floor, they were attended to by Samantha, who handed over the clothes and keys.

"Oh, can you do this for me?" Luan intended to call a taxi, but if the hotel provided them transportation, it would be even better.

"It is our pleasure," the concierge answered with a smile and made a call.

A few minutes later, a black Phantom Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the hotel.

"Mr. Dimas, the black Rolls-Royce Phantom will be at your disposal and this is your driver." Samantha said as the driver approached. He was wearing a black business suit and driver's hat with white gloves.

"And you are?" Luan looked at the man.

"Mr Dimas, my name is Sebastian, I will be at your disposal today," said the man.

"Okay, Sebastian. We are going to the nearest mall," Luan stated.

"Yes, Mr. Dimas and Miss?..." Sebastian nodded and looked at Ingrid without knowing how to address her.

"Good morning! You can call me Ingrid. I'll be in your care!" Ingrid greeted a little reservedly. She didn't know how to act at such times, but she tried to act as normal as possible.

"Hello, Miss Ingrid." Sebastian looked at her and said with a friendly smile.

Seeing this, Luan smiled slightly, making Samantha blush from the sight.

Luan rarely smiled around strangers, but he found Ingrid's way of behaving and talking funny enough to make him smile.

After exiting the hotel, Sebastian opened the door of the black Phantom Rolls-Royce for Luan and Ingrid and then drove towards Floripa Shopping Center.

20 minutes later, they arrived.

"Mr Dimas and Miss Ingrid, I will be waiting for you in the car," said Sebastian.

Luan nodded and, along with Ingrid, walked towards the entrance to the mall.

It was still nine o'clock in the morning, and both Ingrid and Luan hadn't had breakfast. Luan proposed that they should eat first before looking at the clothes.

[MC Coffee]

Reading the sign, Luan suggested, "Let's eat here."

"Right." Ingrid didn't disagree.

Soon, Luan and Ingrid went into some clothing stores after eating. They bought many clothes to last them a month. Although she was embarrassed to enter a lingerie store with Luan, Ingrid still chose simpler and more comfortable pieces.

While most clothing purchases were workout clothes, there were a few clothes they bought that would be used to go out. At first, Ingrid refused to accept that Luan bought her so many expensive clothes, but she was persuaded by him and ended up accepting them.

Even though the two were "strangers" to each other, Luan and Ingrid had some mutual respect for one another. Furthermore, this could have even been considered a blind date although the two were not doing it with the intention of being together. It was just Luan wanting to help her a little to return the indirect favor she had done for him.

While walking, the two weren't showing any affection or even appearing to be very close. It was inevitable that they would draw people's attention and even cause their minds to run wild.

"Are they a couple?"

"Maybe they fought..."

"They are beautiful together."

"Yes, but I still think the man is a little too good for her."

"No, I think she's too good for him..."

"Shut up, ugly! What do you know?"

"You are the ugly one here! If she is not good then who are you? Hahaha."

Some whispers of admiration came from the crowd. Logically speaking, it was not only due to their handsome clothes; the two of them also had a charming natural appearance. That alone drew people's attention, mixing the good looks of Luan and Ingrid, only making the two stand out even more.

Although Ingrid blushed a little when she drew so much attention, Luan didn't care. He pretended he didn't even hear the people around them and continued to walk regardless. As soon as he was close to leaving, he didn't forget to call the driver.
