Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 558 - 395: Advancing by Retreating (2)

Walking along the stone path soaked in moonlight, Li Jing's gaze involuntarily fell on Huang Qin beside him.

Under the moonlit sky, the simple golf outfit she wore, though ordinary in style, tightly outlined her shapely and enticing figure.

Especially her legs under the short skirt, which in the moonlight appeared exceptionally smooth and fair, with graceful and flowing muscle lines, exuding a kind of healthy allure.

This kind of scene, under the backdrop of the night, somehow gave rise to a unique charm and allure.

Huang Qin naturally felt Li Jing's gaze yet showed no trace of shyness.

She elegantly tucked her hair and proactively asked, "President Li, if you ever leave Hai Province, would you please let me know?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing turned his head slightly to look at her and asked back, "Why? Does President Huang have matters to attend to?"

Huang Qin's lips curled into a charming, faint smile as she teased, "Oh? Can't I be informed if there's nothing else?

We are at least friends now. If you're leaving Hai Province, shouldn't you notify your old buddy?"

Hearing this, Li Jing looked into the distance, shaking his head with a smile: "I've never liked to create farewell scenarios, always finding them too melancholic.

But since President Huang has made this request, I will surely inform you."

Huang Qin nodded gently, lifted her head quietly, gazing at the distant place where sea and sky meet, pondering over something unknown.

The night wind blew, lifting her hair, softly fluttering in the dim light.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty tang, swirled around their feet.

After several more minutes, the moonlight stretched their shadows long, and they finally stepped toward the hotel.

In the night, the sounds of their footsteps, one in front and one behind, played a sporadic rhythm on the stone road, occasionally interjected with conversations about the sea breeze's temperature, but never touched deeper topics.

Entering the hotel lobby, the crystal chandelier spread warm yellow light across the space.

Huang Qin stood quietly by Li Jing's side, eyes lowered towards the marble pattern on the floor, letting Li Jing step forward to negotiate with the front desk.

She fluttered her eyelashes when she heard Li Jing request two rooms, with a quickly passing faint trace of surprise in her eyes.

She quietly watched Li Jing's upright back, her gaze filled with complex emotions, as if contemplating some hidden thoughts.

When Li Jing finished the procedures and turned around, he met Huang Qin's focused gaze, and couldn't help but tease, "What's wrong? Is there something on my back?"

Huang Qin's lips curled into a faint smile, and she shook her head: "Nothing, it's probably just President Li's personal charm is so strong, I can't take my eyes off."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of teasing that was barely noticeable.

Li Jing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately joked, "President Huang, do you usually praise men like this?"

Huang Qin shook her head seriously, sincerely, "On the contrary, for other men, I mostly just occasionally give a polite compliment; it is the first time I've sincerely praised someone like this, as I have with President Li."

"Is that so?" Li Jing raised an eyebrow, clearly in doubt.

At this point, the hotel concierge had already approached with the room keys, and the two walked side by side toward the elevator.

Huang Qin looked into the distance, her tone somewhat meaningful, "It's indeed the truth, especially after tonight, I feel that President Li's charm is even greater, and I think I will never forget President Li."

Li Jing immediately caught the subtle implication in her words, and recalling his decision to book two rooms earlier, he couldn't help but speculate: Could it be because of this reason?

He vaguely felt that after allowing distance, Huang Qin's attitude towards him had quietly changed, becoming friendlier and more trusting than before.

The feeling of being subtly distant was also much less, although he couldn't be sure if this was just his imagination.

On the upper floor, the two adjacent guest room doors stood side by side.

Huang Qin paused at her room door, turned to Li Jing with a gentle smile, "Thank you, President Li, for covering the lodging, allowing me a chance to rest alone tonight. Good night."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow and quickly returned a smile: "Hmm, good night."

As the door gently closed, only the warm light of two wall lamps remained in the corridor, leaving the earlier conversation and ambiguous atmosphere in the tranquil night for the time being.

...

The morning light spilled through the sheer curtains into the hotel, silent through the night.

Upon waking, Li Jing immediately noticed several messages from Huang Qin on his phone.

Opening them revealed mostly greetings and an invitation to breakfast together.

After replying, Li Jing got up, quickly washed and dressed casually, and headed to the breakfast buffet.

Arriving at the restaurant, Li Jing's eyes lit up, as a bright figure had already been waiting by the window under the penetrating sunlight.

Huang Qin had changed into a light yellow strapless long dress, with the silk fabric fitting closely to her graceful curves, her full and snow-white chest gently rising and falling with her breath.

The necklace of tiny diamonds hung amidst her delicate collarbones, highlighting her skin's creamy, luminous clarity.

The hemline perfectly outlined the soft arc of her waist and hips, with the unique charm of a mature woman becoming even richer enveloped by the long dress, like a jasmine blossom quietly blooming, exuding an enchanting aura.

Noticing Li Jing's gaze, a captivating smile appeared on Huang Qin's lips as she lightly approached.

The tips of her hair still carried the faint scent of the morning, mixing with the aroma of coffee and pastries in the restaurant, weaving an atmosphere that was intoxicating.

"Good morning, President Li. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Quite well."

Seeing such a beautiful woman first thing in the morning, Li Jing was in a good mood.

And when Huang Qin naturally and affectionately took Li Jing's arm: "That's good, I slept very comfortably last night too, with President Li next door, I slept very soundly."

Hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, just about to speak when Huang Qin pulled him toward the breakfast area: "President Li, let's go over there, I've already chosen breakfast for you."

Li Jing was somewhat surprised, realizing after sitting down in the booth Huang Qin preselected, that she indeed had arranged a sumptuous and healthy breakfast for him.

"Thank you, President Huang, for your thoughtfulness."

Li Jing smiled, then sat down to enjoy breakfast together with her.

Their conversation flowed naturally, with occasional shared glances tinging with subtle ambiguity.

After breakfast, they rested briefly on the island before taking a shuttle boat back to the city.

On the way, Huang Qin and Li Jing sat closer, with Huang Qin no longer avoiding occasional body contacts; instead, she naturally leaned against Li Jing's shoulder, softly sharing the scenery along the way.

Li Jing could clearly feel that today, Huang Qin was noticeably more intimate than usual, with a hint of coquettishness in her words, and eyes filled with an inextricable tenderness.

This change led him to speculate that perhaps it was indeed due to his restrained actions last night that their relationship had made new progress.

For a woman like Huang Qin, with obvious boundaries and exceptional intelligence, a gentle approach seemed far more effective than being forceful and oppressive.

Upon reaching the city, Huang Qin insisted on driving Li Jing back to the hotel personally.

The car slowly stopped at the hotel entrance, with Li Jing ready to say goodbye when Huang Qin unexpectedly exclaimed, "Wait a minute."

Li Jing turned around, puzzled, only to see Huang Qin quickly getting out of the car and walking over to him in high heels.

To Li Jing's surprise, Huang Qin slightly stood on her tiptoes, her warm lips gently landing on his cheek, carrying the faintest hint of fragrance.

"This is a small gift for you today, President Li."

Huang Qin stepped back slightly, her eyes bright as she looked at him, her smile playful yet tender.

Before Li Jing could speak, she had already turned back to her car, glancing at him again as she opened the car door, her voice full of sincerity:

"Thank you for your gentlemanly behavior last night, allowing me to have a good dream; I haven't slept so well in a long time."

After finishing, she waved gently to Li Jing, started the car, and drove away, the taillights gradually disappearing at the road's end.

Li Jing stood in place, looking in the direction she left, touching the cheek that was kissed, an involuntary smile lifting the corners of his mouth.

He softly murmured, "This woman... truly is different."

Moments later, he shook his head, stopped overthinking, turned, and walked into the hotel, leaving a trail of scattered thoughts to dissipate in the cool breeze.
