Chapter 225: Chapter 225

"Okay! Just say the word. Even if you want to go play on The Moon, I’ll take you!" Qi Longbing looked at her, his smile radiant. He took her slender hand, pressed it to his heart, and his own smile deepened as he said, "All your requests... I can grant every single one..."

"Uh..." Hua Xiaomo was stunned for a moment. Had he not heard her clearly? Was it she who would take him?

Unable to help herself, Hua Xiaomo looked down with a smile tinged with embarrassment and awkwardness. "President Qi, I think you misunderstood me. I said I would invite you out..."

"..." Qi Longbing suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on her, staying quiet for a long while.

"What’s wrong? Why such a surprised look? It’s so weird!" Hua Xiaomo chuckled.

Qi Longbing gripped her hand tightly, his eyes filled with her reflection. "Xiao Mo, do you like me?"

"I..." Hua Xiaomo was surprised he would ask such a question. But with a mischievous glint in her eyes, she thought for a moment and said, "President Qi, I know you’re very good to me, but I already have an answer in my heart. Three days from now, at the place I take you to, I will tell you."

"Ha, still playing mysterious? Hua Xiaomo, you really know how to toy with me, Qi Longbing!" Qi Longbing said, an amused, elegant smile playing on his lips. "But no matter what your answer is, I’ll persist. Baby, I won’t let you go, and don’t even think about escaping!"

His domineering declaration of sovereignty made Hua Xiaomo feel a chill.

For a moment, her gaze turned serious, and her feelings grew more complex and pensive.

"Listen to the beat of my heart... as long as it doesn’t stop, my fondness for you... will also never stop!" Qi Longbing said, presenting a perfect, angelic smile. He then unlocked the car. "Get some rest early. Goodnight."

Hua Xiaomo’s long eyelashes fluttered. "Goodnight." She gathered her bag, quickly got out of the car, and walked briskly towards her home.

Qi Longbing watched her retreating figure with a pleased smile, then drove off, heading back.

He reached his White House Villa and was preparing to get out of the car when he noticed a delicate bag beside her seat. Isn’t this the bag she was carrying all along?

How could this little woman be so careless and leave her things behind? Qi Longbing chuckled as he picked up the bag. When he opened it, his eyes instantly widened.

"Damn! Lingerie?" A mysterious light flashed in Qi Longbing’s eyes. With a hint of displeasure, he ended up letting out a devilish chuckle.

Qi Longbing took the lingerie out of the bag, holding it up to inspect it. "Ah, quite a lot! Three sets?"

He glanced at the price tag: 800 per set. So, three sets of lingerie cost 2,400 Renminbi? And the brand is quite decent too. The colors are also attractive: red, pink, and black. With glimpses of lace, they’re definitely a sight to behold. Not too high-end, but certainly not low-end either.

A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets, so unpredictable, eh? Heh! A thoroughly amused smile spread across Qi Longbing’s handsome face. She claimed she wouldn’t spend money, that she seldom did, but privately, the things she bought for herself are quite nice. Heh, interesting!

Xiao Mo... for whom did you prepare this? Qi Longbing mused, a smile spreading across his devilishly handsome face. His lips curled, indescribably charming.

He idly tugged at one of the small, exquisite pieces, testing the elasticity of the lace. Not bad, not bad! Haha, Hua Xiaomo, oh Hua Xiaomo, you really are a little devil! So you even prepared these kinds of things, and three sets at that?

「Three days later...」

At last, everything could finally come true, just as I dreamed...

Lost in his fantasies, Qi Longbing’s eyes became intoxicated with delight. An immense smile spread across his face, his heart filled with an almost exaggerated joy...

He draped the red, pink, and black lingerie pieces directly over his face, inhaling their scent and chuckling endlessly from the depths of his heart. His very soul seemed ensnared. He even felt a peculiar sensation somewhere on his shoulder.

Just then, Yu Bao, who was in the villa, saw Qi Longbing’s Ferrari drive in. However, Qi Longbing didn’t get out of the car for a long time, so Yu Bao couldn’t help but walk over. Peeking through the front windshield, he was stunned. He saw Qi Longbing holding some women’s garments to his face and even draping them over his eyes like glasses.

Truly unbelievable! No words could describe this scene! It took Yu Bao a good while to snap out of his daze.

"Xiao Mo... my Xiao Mo..." Since half the car window was still open, the murmured words secretly seeped into the air, making Yu Bao, standing outside, shiver.

"...President Qi?" Yu Bao still called out softly from outside.

This voice seemed to mercilessly shatter Qi Longbing’s fantasy. Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Qi Longbing reflexively snatched the lingerie pieces away. Seeing the man standing outside the window, his handsome face instantly darkened, his expression turning sour. "What are you looking at? Is there anything worth seeing?!"

"President Qi, it’s too dark; I didn’t see anything," Yu Bao said cautiously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Did I say the wrong thing again? Accidentally intruding on the boss’s privacy and... quirks—this could very well cost me my job!

However, Qi Longbing wordlessly put the garments back into their box. He had thought of leaving it in the car, but for some reason, he decided to take the bag with him as he walked towards the villa.

After Qi Longbing entered the villa, Aunt Wang quickly approached him. "President Qi, when I was cleaning the sofa just now, I found a white and pretty envelope. I wonder if Miss Hua accidentally left it behind?"

Having said that, Aunt Wang handed the envelope to Qi Longbing.

Qi Longbing casually took it, wordlessly tearing open the glued and bulging envelope.

However, when he saw the three stacks of red banknotes inside, he suddenly snorted. His good mood instantly vanished.

"This damn woman... What money is she returning now? Can’t she go for once without tormenting me?!" Qi Longbing cursed in irritation, a suffocating anger lodging in his chest, making him very uncomfortable.

Was he, Qi Longbing, short of money? Was he really that hard up? Fuck! He couldn’t help but remember how he couldn’t even give her that metal necklace earlier. This just made him even more frustrated.

Yu Bao, who had followed him inside, looked at the full thirty thousand Renminbi and ventured, "President Qi, this is probably the money Miss Hua is returning for the clothes you bought her."

"Money for clothes? What damn clothes have I ever bought her?" Qi Longbing retorted, thoroughly displeased.

He couldn’t even give away a necklace right now, let alone clothes! Forget it. He feared any clothes he sent would just be returned untouched to his desk the next day, like mere decorations. He, Qi Longbing, wasn’t that much of a glutton for punishment! What more could he do for her? All he wanted was for her to be happy. But unfortunately, she didn’t understand his feelings. Her insistence on acting this way truly broke his heart.
