Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 581 - 406: Hai City’s Secret Backyard

Li Jing opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, a faint trace of perfume gently lingering at his nose.

The fragrance was just right, like a white magnolia covered in dew on an early spring morning, subtly drifting to the tip of his nose. It was not hard to guess that it was a niche fragrance Huang Qin had carefully chosen.

From up close, Li Jing could finally see Huang Qin's meticulously chosen attire for the day: a black silk dress gracefully wrapped around her body. The delicate fabric shimmered with a subtle luster, exuding elegance under the warm, yellow car lights.

The dress was cut perfectly to outline her lovely curves. Compared to the professional suits she wore at the office, her current outfit was elegant and had a touch of languid sensuality.

Huang Qin gave him a gentle smile and slowly drove the car out of the hotel parking lot.

"President Li, aren't you going to ask where we're going? Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?" Huang Qin suddenly turned her head, smiling reservedly yet with a hint of allure.

Li Jing looked at her face, softened by the car's warm light, and his expression subtly shifted:

"A gentle and intelligent woman like President Huang surely won't take me anywhere bad. I'm unfamiliar with Hai City; rather than asking questions, I'd prefer to keep a bit of mystery."

He paused, his gaze sweeping past her ear, and said with a smile: "I'm also curious about what surprise President Huang has in store for my last night before I leave."

These words made Huang Qin's grip on the steering wheel tighten slightly. She laughed quietly, her eyes forming a pleasing arc; her already striking features now even more enchanting: "I hope President Li won't be disappointed."

In the rearview mirror, the hotel's sign had long disappeared, and the road ahead meandered into the night.

Li Jing looked at the trees speeding past the window, feeling a bit of excitement.

There probably wasn't a man in Hai Province who had received such attention from Huang Qin.

During the forty-minute drive, the lights outside the car window gradually thinned. As the buildings became sparse, the suburbs lay in silent tranquility.

Ordinary people placed in such a desolate area might feel uneasy, but Li Jing sat calmly in his seat, his demeanor composed.

Huang Qin observed Li Jing with her peripheral vision. She had seen many business elites tense up in the face of the unknown, displaying unconscious physical tics or frequently checking their phones.

Yet Li Jing had not even furrowed his brow; he even voluntarily rolled down the car window to let the night breeze, tinged with the scent of vegetation, brush against his face.

In her experience, the more wealth and power a man held, the more he would view an uncontrollable situation as a formidable enemy, yet this man before her seemed to have entrusted her with his life and fate entirely.

"President Li is truly a special person."

Huang Qin said suddenly, smiling as she drove.

Moonlight sliced through the windshield, casting a line upon her white collarbone, accentuating the barely visible curves at the neckline of her black silk dress.

Li Jing raised an eyebrow, and as he turned his head, his gaze involuntarily swept over her rising and falling chest from her chuckle: "Special? Does President Huang like this kind of special, or not?"

"Special people can always leave a mark on one's heart."

Huang Qin's fingertips tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and as her eyes swirled, a faint smile played on her lips, "Just like the composure you showed tonight, President Li... I doubt many women could resist such charm."

Huang Qin laughed softly to herself, as usual, not giving a direct answer, but it seemed full of hints.

Li Jing's gaze flicked over her face, and he simply smiled without further comment. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A moment later, as the engine noise died down, the chirping of night insects became gradually clear.

Li Jing pushed open the car door, and the damp night breeze carrying the scent of the sea rushed in.

Looking up, the glow of neon and lanterns shattered the silence of the suburbs; the previously desolate area was now brilliantly lit, with the warm glow emanating from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the shops along the street.

On the street, a waiter from a Michelin-starred restaurant was opening car doors for guests, while the open-air barbecue area wafted with the aroma of truffles and red wine, and greeters at a few high-end karaoke bars awaited their guests.

"This is Hai City's 'Secret Back Garden.'

Huang Qin's black silk dress swept past the car door as she changed into high heels, her gaze sweeping over this extraordinary suburb: "Over a decade ago, a real estate tycoon bought this entire area and transformed it into a retreat exclusively for political and business elites."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was a bit surprised. It seemed the wealthy in Hai Province indeed had diverse tastes for enjoyment.

To unexpectedly create a high-end commercial street in a deserted suburb just to cater to the affluent's leisure needs was truly something.

Turning the corner, an industrial-style building leaped into view.

Two security guards in black suits stood straight at the entrance, wearing silver badges on their chests. As Huang Qin approached, they immediately raised their hands in salute.

When Li Jing followed, the guards, after receiving Huang Qin's confirmation, stepped aside to let him pass.

The floor was paved with whole slabs of Italian marble, and crystal chandeliers cast fine, scattered light on the dark brown leather seating booths.

Behind the bar, a bartender was decorating cocktails with gold leaf, and the champagne in the ice bucket refracted a sharp glint.

Rows of valuable vintage wines lined the circular wine rack, with the scent of cedar and tequila mingling in the air.

"This is a friend's place of mine."

Huang Qin elegantly sat down in a booth, her fingertips grazing the pattern on the leather seat, "The guests here are all background-checked."

She gestured for the server to present the wine menu: "So those who come here don't have to worry about drunken disturbances or being secretly photographed. It's very safe."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing unobtrusively swept his gaze around the bar.
