Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 557 - 395: Advancing by Retreating

Li Jing was slightly taken aback, seeing the determination in the other's eyes, he finally let go.

After stepping back, Li Jing realized that during the passionate kiss, his palm had unconsciously roamed over the other's slender waist and graceful back, leaving their clothes disheveled. The hem of the top was pulled out of the skirt, exposing a large area of pale, ample skin at the neckline.

Huang Qin was not angry about this; instead, she seemed oblivious to the mess, calmly tucking her clothes into her waist and deftly tidying her slightly messy skirt.

After tidying her clothes, she gracefully approached Li Jing without speaking, slowly tiptoeing up, her warm breath brushing past Li Jing's ear. Her fingers gently and carefully straightened the other's flipped collar and lightly patted the wrinkles on his shoulder.

Li Jing gazed at her lowered eyes and her manner of fixing her clothes, and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

There was no denying that Huang Qin's gentleness added significant charm to her.

"It seems President Li really likes my little gift?"

Huang Qin suddenly lifted her gaze, her eyes brimming with a smile.

Li Jing looked at her lips, reddened from the kiss, and smiled: "This gift is indeed unforgettable. Just wish it could last a bit longer."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qin chuckled softly, tapping Li Jing's chest with her fingertips and said slowly, "Some things lose their charm if prolonged; only the abrupt regret makes people savor it repeatedly."

She stepped back, leaned against the stone railing, and the moonlight outlined her alluring curves, teasing: "Stopping like this might make President Li treasure it more, perhaps remembering me a few more times in the coming months."

Li Jing raised an eyebrow, thoughtfully: "President Huang's point is, the unattainable is most precious? Once completely possessed, you fear I might not cherish it?"

Huang Qin beamed, the smile at the corner of her eyes like a crescent moon: "Hasn't President Li already obtained quite a lot?"

Her deliberately elongated tone carried a teasing note, with a bit of allure.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but recall the moment he had enjoyed the softness and allure of her body, the smooth skin, the full bosom, still causing tumult in his heart, his palm seemingly still retaining that warm sensation.

Looking at this woman who was both alluring and clear-headed, Li Jing suddenly found her exceptionally captivating.

He proactively extended his arm, and Huang Qin, seeing this, didn't refuse, subtly entwining her arm with his, as the two strolled along the boardwalk in the moonlight.

The waves gently lapped against the rocks, with the distant hotel's neon lights reflecting on the sea, casting their shadows long.

The two walked side by side under the wisteria trellis, the hanging vines swaying lightly in the night breeze. Li Jing was the first to break the subtle silence:

"Was President Huang's 'gift' just now a thank you for the collaboration or a personal gesture?"

Li Jing knew the answer wasn't that important anymore, but he hoped Huang Qin had not acted solely in gratitude. At least not entirely for that reason.

To Li Jing, using money and power to make women succumb didn't provide much sense of achievement.

Only having an extraordinary woman like Huang Qin genuinely willing to embrace him could bring him stronger feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Huang Qin slowly halted, her skirt elegantly lifted by the sea breeze, she gazed at the distant moonlit swaying leaves, softly speaking:

"The outcome is decided; does the different reason for presenting the gift matter to President Li?"

Li Jing calmly replied, "At least to me, it makes a difference."

He looked at Huang Qin's graceful profile under the landscape lights and suddenly recalled how she skillfully maneuvered among people in the business scene, and then thought of the woman at the music festival telling the tale of the Black Butterfly.

At this moment, Huang Qin seemed to unveil a new facet of herself, making it hard for Li Jing to fully comprehend her.

Huang Qin lowered her eyes, gripping the railing without answering.

After a long pause, she turned to him, her gaze rippling: "There is indeed gratitude, President Li helped our company secure a collaboration, for which both my company and I are endlessly grateful."

Saying this, she slowly approached, smiling as she looked into Li Jing's youthful face: "But more than that, it's because President Li possesses... an irresistible charm."

After finishing, Huang Qin smiled slightly, her gaze filled with the softness and allure of a woman.

Li Jing looked at her mature yet charming face, suddenly realizing that he found it difficult to distinguish her sincerity from falsehood in her words.

This woman was different from Shi Yang, concealing her deep emotions too well, adept at navigating between reality and illusion, just like the gift earlier, seemingly an uncontrollable impulse, but now it appeared it was likely a well-considered decision. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Originally, Li Jing wanted to ask more, but as Huang Qin had already proactively intertwined her arm with his, her full bosom softly pressing against his arm, he felt there was no need to ask further.

The other would speak when willing, and if not, he couldn't get the answer, even if he asked.

After that, the two continued strolling along the coastline, the distant hotel's neon lights reflecting on the sea.

During the subsequent time, Huang Qin never mentioned the earlier passionate embrace and lingering kiss, instead, she chatted casually with Li Jing, just like when they met before, talking about interesting work tidbits and heard stories effortlessly, as if those intimate acts had never occurred.

Li Jing could already feel that tonight's special "gift" was unlikely to be repeated.

This attitude of keeping a distance made him clearly recognize that the woman in front of him seemed warm and approachable, but actually had a psychological defense difficult to penetrate.
