Lauren hadn't expected that the good girl Gwen would suddenly help him with such a thing.
This intense sense of contrast made his body become unusually sensitive.
So much so that in just over ten minutes, he felt like his defenses were about to be breached.
Thus, he immediately circulated the colorful divine power that Odin had gifted him to resist.
Ten minutes or so might be very short for Lauren, but for Gwen, it felt like every second was an eternity.
And since she wasn't an experienced veteran like Tifa or 2B, she naturally found the action quite strenuous.
As a newcomer, being able to persist for over ten minutes was already quite an achievement.
However, ten minutes or so was clearly not enough to defeat Lauren.
When he was with Tifa and 2B, they usually started at an hour.
So this ten-minute duration didn't even amount to a fraction of that, but seeing Gwen's pained expression, Lauren felt a bit of pity.
So he ended the battle early. Once finished, Lauren picked Gwen up directly, then waved his hand, and a portal suddenly appeared.
The place the portal connected to was an extremely luxurious room; this room was the presidential suite of one of his seven-star hotels.
It was just that this room wasn't open to the public; it was reserved for his own use.
Usually, to keep things fresh, he would take his women to different places to battle.
And this hotel was one of those places. Before this, he hadn't brought any other woman here; Gwen was the first to come here.
After all, he wanted to give Gwen a wonderful start, so he certainly couldn't be careless about matters like this.
"Where is this? Why did you suddenly bring me to a room?"
Looking at the luxurious room in front of her, Gwen's face was filled with astonishment, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
"Don't you want to wash your face? This is the presidential suite of one of my hotels; you can use it with peace of mind."
Lauren looked at Gwen gently and said, then pulled her toward the bathroom.
"I didn't scare you just now, did I?" Lauren said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"You have the nerve to say that." Gwen gave Lauren a dirty look, feeling annoyed.
Her words sounded like a complaint, but her expression betrayed her; she didn't seem to dislike it.
"Sorry, let me help you wash up!" Lauren said with a smile, while pushing Gwen into the bathroom.
"Cut it out, I'm not a child. I can wash myself, you get out."
Seeing that Lauren said he wanted to give her a bath, Gwen blushed; she naturally knew that Lauren had ulterior motives.
"How can that be? Since it was your face that I messed up, it's only right that I wash it. This is what you call taking responsibility for one's actions."
Lauren said solemnly, leaving Gwen speechless. How could she not know Lauren's little tricks?
Giving her a bath was fake; taking advantage of her was the truth.
If she really let Lauren wash her, who knows what would happen by the end? By then, she would probably end up washing herself away to him.
Today, her intention was just to give Lauren a little treat so he wouldn't forget her.
But at this current pace, it wouldn't just be giving Lauren a little treat; it was like she was about to shove the whole candy into Lauren's mouth.
"Why didn't I notice you were so shameless before!" Hearing Lauren's words, Gwen said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"That's because you hadn't received my baptism back then, so it's normal that you didn't understand me." Lauren laughed.
Hearing Lauren deliberately teasing her, Gwen immediately thought of the scene just now, and instantly, her face turned even redder.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally relented: "I really can't do anything about you. You can help me wash, but you have to promise me, no messing around!"
Upon hearing that Gwen had agreed, Lauren secretly rejoiced, then immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, I definitely won't mess around."
"That's better. Then come in with me!" Seeing that Lauren had agreed to her request, Gwen finally felt relieved.
Then, with a blushing face, she pulled Lauren into the bathroom and, with her back to him, slowly removed her top.
Suddenly, a patch of fair, jade-like skin on her back, paired with a slender swan-like neck, was revealed before Lauren's eyes, making him unable to help but swallow hard.
"Your back is truly too beautiful; it's practically a work of art. It would be a pity not to use it for cupping therapy."
As he spoke, Lauren walked behind Gwen, then raised his hand to gently stroke her back, saying this with a hint of teasing.
"..." Gwen never expected that Lauren would actually say her back was suitable for cupping therapy. What kind of wild imagination would think of that!
In her helplessness, she gave Lauren another dirty look, but just at this moment, Lauren suddenly hugged her tightly from behind.
