Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 588 - 409: The Courtyard

Huang Qin casually glanced at the stage where the light and shadow intertwined, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips:

"Looking for a man is just putting another shackle on myself."

The wine on the cup's wall condensed into beads, meandering down the transparent arc, refracting a soft glow under the warm yellow light.

Huang Qin smiled and spoke, "Look at those married friends around, pressured by marriage and child education until they can hardly breathe, their former sharpness worn into trivialities. Why should I jump into this pit of fire?"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, swirling the wine glass in his hand, "So President Huang plans to stay single forever?"

At that moment, Huang Qin suddenly turned sideways, her perfume accompanying a slightly intoxicated breath wafting over.

She tapped the table lightly with her fingers, smiling enigmatically, "Is President Li's next line going to be that marriage is too heavy, how about a fleeting romance instead?"

Her voice carried a seductive tenderness, "And then go on to recommend yourself, inviting me to spend a spring night together tonight?"

Hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback, not expecting her to directly guess his intention, and what's more, playfully turned the tables on him.

This straightforward teasing especially left him at a loss, his smile stiffening for half a second.

But Li Jing, being quite experienced in the field of romance, quickly recovered, raising his glass, drinking it all in one go, and then gently putting it down.

Initially thinking the woman before him was gentle as water, he was just now realizing she was a blade wrapped in honey, hiding a sharpness behind her seemingly harmless and gentle smile.

Seeing Li Jing remain silent, Huang Qin suddenly leaned forward, her hair brushing across the back of his hand.

She gazed at him, smiling gently, her eyes hinting at affection, "Actually, every time in Hai Province when I meet President Li."

Her voice was so low it was like whispering in one's ear, "That special aura about you always compels me to take more than a glance."

As she spoke, her fingers with exquisitely manicured nails lightly trailed across the table, continuing, "But..."

"But what?" Li Jing looked at this gentle yet incredibly smart woman, instinctively asking.

Huang Qin raised her eyes, staring directly into the emotions swirling in his eyes, her red lips parted, seeming to carry words with enchanting power:

"I've always been thinking," she paused, then suddenly smiled slightly, locking eyes with Li Jing, "on this last night, should I or should I not have something happen with you."

Her words felt like a feather brushing over the tip of the heart, making Li Jing's expression slightly change, looking at her lips glistening with moisture, feeling the surrounding air suddenly becoming thick and sticky.

The previously relaxing atmosphere was stirred by Huang Qin's words into something much more ambiguous.

Li Jing stared blankly at the woman before him, completely unprepared for her to not only unveil his thoughts but also promptly express her good impression of him.

Looking at the woman before him, with wisdom that surprises and candor that intrigues, every movement seemed to tease his last shred of reason.

Li Jing's eyebrow slightly twitched, not anticipating the gentle woman before him would be able to speak flirtatious words so openly and directly.

Huang Qin, with her contradictory yet charming traits, was akin to a barely visible flame, both unique and mesmerizing, hard to look away from.

Seeing Li Jing surprised by her sudden forthrightness, Huang Qin chuckled lightly, again bringing the wine glass to her lips, "President Li, actually if you were with those girls Zhao Ming brought..."

She pretended to pause, her gaze casually sweeping past the spinning spotlights on stage, "I'd actually be relieved, no longer torn over tonight's matters."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing finally spoke, "So in President Huang's eyes, if I were to accept the advances of those women, would I be rejected for being too promiscuous?"

"No."

Huang Qin shook her head slightly, leaning back against the soft seat, her eyes calmly sweeping across his face, "Promiscuity is a common fault among men in this circle, I've come to terms with it long ago."

Saying this, her gaze shifted elsewhere, her tone becoming a bit more indifferent, "But if a man indulges every woman who actively approaches him...

"That's not promiscuity, but rather cheapness, and this kind of cheapness is the male trait I find the most intolerable."

When her words fell, Li Jing's eyes gleamed slightly.

He suddenly realized, Huang Qin appeared gentle and passionate, wise and considerate, but at her core, was still her pride as a strong woman and heiress.

Click clack... Click clack...

Just then, the sound of high heels came from nearby.

It was Zhao Ming who came with downcast eyes, carrying a fruit platter, deliberately avoiding Li Jing's gaze, and when placing the exquisite carved fruit platter on the table, the wind from her sleeve lifted the golden tassel on the coaster.

"Here are your fruit platter and snacks."

Before her words finished, she was about to turn and leave, but Huang Qin's sudden voice interrupted her.

"Give me the keys to the small courtyard."

Huang Qin rotated the empty wine glass, the ice cubes clinking at the bottom with a crisp sound, smiling, "We've almost finished the drink, Li Jing and I are going over to get some fresh air."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming immediately turned, her face filled with disbelief, then her gaze moved back and forth between the two before finally fixing on Li Jing, surprisingly carrying a hint of scrutiny and warning.

Seeing this, Li Jing felt a bit puzzled, not understanding what Zhao Ming's reaction meant.

And Huang Qin laughed, "Give it to me, you don't need to worry too much. I know what I'm doing."

Zhao Ming hesitated for a moment, then secretly glared at Li Jing with some warning implication before turning to leave. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Moments later, she returned with a key and handed it to Huang Qin.
