Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 578 - 405: The Final Banquet

"Leaving in a few days?"

She was surprised and hurriedly put down her cup, gripping Shi Yang's wrist so hard it almost left red marks.

"Yangyang, aren't you going to seize the opportunity! When he really leaves, with the ocean between you, it'll be incredibly difficult to see him again. You must think carefully!"

Shi Yang stared at the wine glass, his thoughts chaotic.

She bit her lower lip, her tone carrying a resentment even she hadn't noticed: "Do you really want me to actively pursue him?"

Lin Wan held Shi Yang's hand, speaking softly: "Yangyang, although he's a playboy, he's not just any playboy."

She suddenly leaned closer: "According to what you said, he saved your grandfather on the plane, knows multiple languages, and has a great physique. Such a man, even if he has more feelings, can't be dismissed completely, right?"

Su Qing, by the side, took a small sip from her champagne glass, slowly placed the glass back on the tray, and then spoke as well: "Wanwan makes sense. In our circle, which of those rich kids isn't surrounded by admirers?"

Her proud gaze carried a sharpness of a professional woman: "At least President Li has solid capabilities and real skills, not relying on family business." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Their words shook Shi Yang a bit: "Then... should I go find him now?"

"That's impossible!" Lin Wan raised her hand excitedly, almost knocking over the wine glass on the table.

She pressed down on Shi Yang's shoulder, her Bulgari snake bracelet softly jingling with the movement: "To handle a man like that, you need to appear at a higher level."

"Higher level?" Shi Yang frowned, puzzled.

Lin Wan smirked slightly, swirled the wine in her glass, took a small sip, and in a masterful manner said: "You two just had a quarrel. If you send yourself over now, won't you become a docile little rabbit?"

Shi Yang frowned: "So go or not go, I'm stuck either way. What should I do?"

Lin Wan twirled the diamond ring on her ring finger, her gaze crafty: "With my dating experience, you need to let him stew for a bit."

She extended a finger, beckoning Shi Yang with a charming expression: "Wait for him to come anxiously to appease you, then play hard-to-get... and you'll gain the upper hand."

Shi Yang listened, looked at Lin Wan, worried: "What if Li Jing doesn't come to comfort me in the next few days and just leaves?"

"If he's really like that, then he must be ruthless." Lin Wan raised an eyebrow, addressing seriously: "To deal with such a man, you must take the initiative. Make him truly moved, then play the back-and-forth game."

Shi Yang frowned: "Weren't these tricks learned from TV dramas?"

"This is all personal experience, alright!"

Seeing Shi Yang still hesitating, Lin Wan said impatiently: "Come on, my dear Miss Shi! The Qing dynasty is long gone; in this era, why hesitate when chasing a man?"

Shi Yang's voice carried hesitation: "If Li Jing really goes abroad, am I supposed to chase him there too? Plus, my parents..."

Before she could finish, Su Qing lightly swirled her champagne glass, bubbles in the glass rising and bursting: "Your parents also want you to maintain your relationship with President Li, don't they?"

She confidently said: "I think if they know you're going abroad to see President Li, they wouldn't object, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang's eyelashes trembled, recalling the expectant looks in her parents' eyes when they sat in the study discussing Li Jing with sincerity. Her expression fluctuated.

After a moment, she finally took several deep breaths and softly said: "I'll think about it further."

Seeing this, Lin Wan and Su Qing exchanged a glance, knowing Shi Yang was still conflicted, and didn't persuade more, instead raising their glasses:

"Alright, since it's all been said, let's just drink. Today, we sisters will accompany you and not rest until drunk!"

...

In the following two days, Li Jing rested in the hotel.

The nightscape of Hai City outside the floor-to-ceiling window was dazzling, reflected in his calm pupils.

Since the argument with Shi Yang, he had calmly accepted the situation.

To him, his "playboy" nature was intrinsic, there was no need to hide it, nor any intention to change it.

Shi Yang hadn't sent any messages either, as Li Jing expected. Given her pride, she probably wouldn't easily break her bottom line.

He casually tossed the phone into his suit pocket, no longer glancing at it.

Women like Shi Yang, with a privileged family background and outstanding looks, have so much, how could they easily break their bottom line for a man.

Now, Li Jing, with wealth and resources accumulated through the system, had habitually mastered the control of relationships in his grasp and would definitely not voluntarily chase after any woman.

Therefore, Shi Yang's aloofness, while somewhat regrettable to him, wouldn't provoke too much sentiment.

On the third day, Shi Yang's parents, upon Elder Shi's suggestion, invited Li Jing to meet at the Shi Family villa.

At the villa, Li Jing finally saw Shi Yang's parents.

Shi Yang's mother wore a silk cheongsam, delicate wrinkles unable to mask the striking beauty of her youth; her father stood in a neat suit, his gaze behind gold-rimmed glasses steady and sharp.

Only then did Li Jing realize that Shi Yang's perfect appearance and temperament were inherited from both parents.

Shi Yang's parents, upon seeing Li Jing, appeared exceptionally warm and courteous, with Elder Shi constantly setting the tone.

However, as the conversation went deeper, Li Jing discovered the personalities of Shi Yang's parents greatly differed from Shi Yang.

Her father spoke eloquently, each word a flawless routine; her mother seemed gentle, yet her words concealed cunning calculations.

This matched the image of corporate decision-makers.

But Shi Yang, pampered by the family from a young age, having just stepped out of school, was untainted by worldly experiences, her presence still simple and pure, untouched by life's rough edges.
