With a thunderous heartbeat, Xu Qianli's reason nearly shattered as he instinctively reached out, fiercely wrapping his arms around He Lili, and planted a hard kiss on her red lips.
Mmm...
He Lili succeeded in her seduction, her lips captured by Xu Qianli, feeling his intense heartbeat, and confronting his assertiveness, she suddenly felt a bit scared.
Her head spinning from Xu Qianli's kiss, her skirt already lifted to her waist, and just as Xu Qianli seemed ready to 'devour' her, He Lili suddenly pushed him away with force.
"No!"
Xu Qianli paused in his movements, looking at He Lili with a wicked smile, "Wasn't it you who took the initiative? Why not now? Are you scared, or do you regret it?"
"You little rascal!"
"Sister isn't scared, nor does she regret anything. I just think this isn't the right place."
"Why don't we go back to the hotel, then? It'll be much more convenient there."
He Lili said coquettishly, trying to act seductive, yet unable to conceal the panic in her eyes.
Although she always appeared sensuous, in reality, due to Zeng Changyun's incompetence, she still remained untouched, a virgin, never having experienced intimacy with men.
Just now, as Xu Qianli nearly had his way with her, she really became afraid of him because he had been so dominant, so wild.
Xu Qianli saw through He Lili's thoughts and gave her a smile, "How about we just leave it for today? I'll head back to the county first, get things sorted out, and then come find you?"
"Alright, good, let's agree on that."
"Naughty boy, you better not keep me waiting too long, or else I'll get impatient and find another man."
He Lili breathed a sigh of relief deep down, continuing to act flirtatious.
What, find another man?
Xu Qianli slapped her firmly on her plump behind, with a resounding smack.
Not quite venting his frustration with just a slap, Xu Qianli lifted He Lili's pretty face, speaking fiercely, "Say that again and see what happens!"
"Stop it, you're scaring me now. I won't tease you anymore, okay?"
"Sister was just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
"If it makes you feel better, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
"The father of my future children is destined to be you, okay now?"
Faced with the assertive Xu Qianli, He Lili looked even more delicate and charming, finding herself liking this man even more.
Compared to the not only incapable but also constantly submissive Zeng Changyun, the dominant Xu Qianli was so much more pleasing to the eye.
Her heart fluttering, she now somewhat regretted pushing Xu Qianli away just moments ago.
Xu Qianli said, "Alright, I'll take it as a joke, and let you off this time. Remember, this is the first and last time. From now on, you, He Lili, are my woman, Xu Qianli, and I won't allow any man to touch you! As for today, I'll let you off the hook, but I'll deal with you later!"
The timing wasn't right, and coupled with He Lili's superficial coquettishness but underlying timidity, Xu Qianli temporarily let go.
However, now that they had eyes for each other, he would not allow another man to lay a hand on her.
So it was settled, and He Lili mockingly called Xu Qianli too domineering, then left his embrace to tidy up her clothes and handed him her car keys.
"Knowing you're in a hurry to get back to the county, I'm giving you this car."
"You mustn't refuse. I'm already yours, and I'll bear your children in the future. What's a car compared to that? Take it."
"And hey, I'll be waiting for you in the city. Don't make me too anxious, or I'll ignore you."
After speaking, He Lili gave Xu Qianli a kiss on the cheek, left behind a flirty smile, and then got out of the car.
Watching He Lili stride away with her long legs, swaying her slim waist and ample hips, her saucy attitude was truly captivating.
It's a shame today wasn't the right moment. Xu Qianli gave a small smile and drove off, heading straight for Jiang City County.
The car He Lili gave was an Audi Q5, a luxury worth several hundred thousand. Driving it back to the county, Xu Qianli, a public official, couldn't help feeling conspicuous.
In the past, he would have never accepted it, let alone drive it back to the county.
Low-profile was always the first rule in the officialdom; being too conspicuous could easily draw attention from certain people and could even lead to dissatisfaction from some leaders.
But now it was different. After the old County Magistrate died in a car accident, with people like Zhang Kuisan pushing him to the edge of a cliff, about to plunge into a hopeless abyss, what use was being low-profile?
This was the time to stand out, to return to Jiang City ostentatiously, to do something dramatic and turn the current situation around!
Speeding along, Xu Qianli quickly left Zhongzhou City and headed straight toward Jiang City County.
Among Zhongzhou's three districts and nine counties, Jiang City was the farthest from the city and the least economically developed area, long regarded as the poorest in Zhongzhou.
Not only was the economy underdeveloped, but transportation was inconvenient. Upon entering the county, even the national road was full of pits and bumps, forcing Xu Qianli to slow down.
He slowed down, and suddenly an eye-catching, bright silver sports car overtook him from the right, racing at breakneck speed, at least 150 mph.
Overtaking from the right, whizzing by that quickly, at such high speed, Xu Qianli cursed inwardly, "Seeking death."
Just as if his words were prophetic, he saw the sports car burst off the road and crash into a roadside forest, overturning after knocking down more than a dozen small trees as thick as bowls.
