Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 463 - 355: Playboy_2

Sophie was driving a rental car, first dropping off Liu Xin at the hotel, and then considerately sending Li Jing back to his place.

...

On the way, Sophie focused intently on the steering wheel while Li Jing sat in the passenger seat enjoying the scenery along the road.

The sea breeze blew in through the car window, gently stirring their hair, carrying a faint salty scent.

Outside the window were vast stretches of tropical plants, with wide-open views and no tall buildings to block the way, making everything seem leisurely and pleasant.

After driving for a while, Sophie glanced at Li Jing through the rearview mirror several times, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t quite muster the courage. A few times, she seemed to pluck up her courage but still didn’t speak.

Li Jing noticed her gaze and found it amusing, so he took the initiative to ask, "What? If you have something to say, just say it."

Upon hearing this, Sophie hesitated for a moment before speaking with a hint of curiosity: "You mentioned before that you’ve had many girlfriends, or rather, female companions?"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows, surprised that she suddenly brought it up.

Previously, when they met in Hai City, he had candidly confessed that he wouldn’t commit to a single relationship, having had many women around him, which immediately discouraged Sophie, who had intended to pursue him.

After spending time together this time, Sophie brought it up again, and Li Jing could roughly guess her thoughts. He didn’t hide anything and gave the same answer as before:

"Yes, you could call them my girlfriends. What’s up? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Hearing him admit it, Sophie bit her lower lip gently and asked, "So you have a lot of them? Have you counted?"

As soon as she spoke, she hurriedly added, "If you mind, you don’t have to answer. I’m just curious."

Seeing her eager yet hesitant expression, Li Jing found it amusing.

He pretended to ponder for a few seconds before replying, "About five or six, or six or seven."

"Six or seven? That’s not too bad."

Sophie suddenly blurted this out.

Li Jing was full of confusion, glanced at her, and asked, "What do you mean by not too bad?"

Sophie pursed her lips, replying, "You act like such a playboy, I thought you had a dozen or twenty girlfriends."

"A dozen or twenty? You overestimate my stamina."

Li Jing laughed and explained, "I’m not a stud horse. Even though I am a playboy, I’m pretty nice to the girls, at least I don’t dump them after getting what I want.

In fact, many of them still keep in touch with me."

Listening to Li Jing’s typical ’player’ remarks, Sophie pouted and mumbled under her breath, "As expected, a playboy."

Seeing her like this, Li Jing just felt amused and said, "I told you before. Since you asked, and then complain after hearing the answer, you might as well not ask."

Sophie scrunched her nose and snorted lightly, "Why, you can have all those girls, and I can’t complain?

It won’t hurt you. Besides, I’m just standing up for those girls."

"Standing up for those girls?" Li Jing looked at her, "They were all willing, so what are you standing up for?

If anything, stand up for those forced ones, but I never force anyone."

Sophie looked suspicious: "Who knows if you’re telling the truth or not."

Li Jing laughed: "If I really wanted to force anyone, you would already be mine, wouldn’t you?"

As soon as he said this, Sophie’s face turned bright red, and she immediately protested:

"Who’s yours! Besides, if you tried to force me, I... I’d definitely fight back with all my might!"

But after speaking, Sophie thought back to the past few days with Li Jing.

Sophie spoke again: "But you do, apart from being a bit of a player, you’re not bad in other ways."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing teased with a smile: "What, are you falling for me?"

"Ugh, who likes you, stop flattering yourself, I would never fall for a playboy."

As they chatted casually, they unknowingly arrived at the destination.

Looking at the luxurious entrance of the hotel, Sophie stopped the car and said, "Get out, you’re here."

Li Jing seemed to remember something, paused with the door half-opened, and replied:

"Didn’t your sister and you say you wanted to see my room yesterday? Why aren’t you visiting now?"

"Not visiting, there are pictures online anyway, it’s probably the same, nothing to see."

For some reason, Sophie had a sudden bout of minor annoyance, though she seemed fine before, now inexplicably a bit upset.

Li Jing glanced at her, then said, "Suit yourself then."

With that, he got out of the car and left.

Watching Li Jing’s receding figure, Sophie gritted her teeth and mumbled to herself:

"Seriously, drove you all the way back, not even a thank you, what a real jerk."

Saying this, she displayed a look of gritted teeth, angrily glaring at Li Jing’s back.

But as she kept watching, just as he was about to disappear around the corner, she couldn’t help but extend her neck, wanting to catch a few more glimpses. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Until Li Jing’s figure completely disappeared, she suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

She stared blankly at the hotel’s entrance, sitting alone in the car for a long while, ultimately looking forlorn as she restarted the car and drove away.

Initially, she felt pretty good today, but after discussing Li Jing’s past relationships, her mood inexplicably turned sour, even forgetting to invite Li Jing to continue hanging out tomorrow.

Thinking of this, she drove while silently regretting:

"I really shouldn’t have brought up that topic with him just now. Seriously, the more you know, the more annoying it gets."
