The Gate of Desire [Complete] - Chapter 31 (End)

Chapter 241 The Women Contact Each Other

Xiao Hong covered her mouth and giggled, "You get teased too? Hehe... I really admire Ajiao."

Yang Letian said irritably, "What's so admirable about that? It's easy for you to do it too. Next time you go out to eat and see a handsome guy you like across the table, just stick your leg out and rub it against his leg a few times. I guarantee he'll be so embarrassed he'll run away, haha!"

"Get lost!" Xiao Hong angrily picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at Yang Letian, who caught it with a laugh.

Back in the car, Xiao Hong sat in the driver's seat as usual, while Yang Letian said in the back with a bitter face, "What? Do you want me to lie down?"

Xiao Hong turned around and wrinkled her nose

playfully, smiling, "What do you think?" "I say I'd better lie down." Yang Letian muttered as he curled up and lay down. Seeing Yang Letian's tall, five-foot-tall frame curled up in a ball, looking somewhat comical, Xiao Hong almost burst out laughing, but she held it in and started driving.

She pulled up to a supermarket and said, "Okay, I'm going in to buy some things. You go back to the hotel first. I'll let you know if I have any news."

"Okay then, I'll wait for your good news." With that, Yang Letian leaned in and lightly kissed Xiao Hong's cheek, the gesture like a couple parting. Xiao Hong didn't flinch; instead, she leaned closer, seemingly enjoying the moment.

Watching Xiao Hong enter the supermarket, Yang Letian turned the car around and drove towards the hotel. Now he had nothing else to do but wait—wait for news from Xiao Hong. Back at the hotel, Yang Letian felt utterly bored, so he opened his phone and scrolled through his contacts, trying to find someone to chat with. After flipping through the pages for a while, Yang Letian decided to call Sister Yun first. He hadn't said goodbye to Sister Yun in person before leaving Linhai, and had only exchanged a few words with her over the phone.

"Letian, it's you!" Yun Jie was pleasantly surprised to receive Yang Letian's call. "I knew you had very important work in Qingyang, so I didn't call you. How's it going? Is everything going smoothly?"

"Hehe, not bad," Yang Letian laughed. "And you? Still the same as always, busy with your business?"

"Yeah, what else can I do?" Yun Jie said quietly. "With you not around, I can't even find anyone to hang out with."

Yang Letian grinned mischievously. "So what do you want to hang out with? Hehe!"

Yun Jie sensed the malice in his laughter and quickly retorted, "What? Do you think I'm like you, thinking about that kind of thing all day long? Really!"

"Hehe, so you're saying I'm filthy and vulgar?"

"Hmph, who else would you be?"

"Hehe, okay, I'm filthy and vulgar, alright?" Yang Letian laughed. "I'll deal with you properly when I get back."

"Hehe, I'll be waiting for you." Sister Yun laughed. "Let's see who gets the better of whom then."

After ending the call with Sister Yun, Yang Letian dialed Xiao Xin's number again. After the call was connected, Yang Letian only heard a lot of noise on the other end, as if it was a very lively place.

"Xiao Xin, where are you now? Why is it so noisy?"

"Hehe, brother, it's you." Xiao Xin raised her voice slightly, "Let me tell you, I'm shopping with Sister Zhang Jing right now, hehe, brother, I bought so many things."

"Ah! Shopping with Zhang Jing?" Yang Letian was slightly surprised and asked, "Are you with her now?"

"Yes, Sister Zhang Jing is right next to me. Do you want to talk to her?"

"Oh, no..." Yang Letian was about to say no when he heard Zhang Jing's voice: "Oh, Manager Yang, you're so high and mighty, you don't even want to talk to me." Yang Letian couldn't help but

secretly blame Xiao Xin for not being able to hold her phone properly and letting her snatch it away, but since it was already done, Yang Letian could only smile and say, "No? Why don't I want to talk to you? I was just about to call you later."

"Hmph, I don't believe you!" Zhang Jing said in a low voice.

Although Zhang Jing had tried her best to lower her voice, Yang Letian was still a little worried. He was afraid that her intimate words might overhear Xiao Xin and make her realize that he and Zhang Jing had an ambiguous relationship, which would be bad. At the same time, he also felt a little strange. From the time he had spent with Zhang Jing, he knew that she was a very possessive and jealous woman, and from her previous words, he could tell that she didn't like Xiao Xin. So why was she with Xiao Xin now?

Although Yang Letian was very puzzled, he didn't have time to think about it now. He quickly said, "Okay, I didn't lie to you. I'll have a good talk with you when I get back to Linhai City. That's all for now. Tell Xiao Xin that I'm hanging up." As he said this, there was no sound from the other end of the phone. Zhang Jing had hung up the phone in advance. Yang Letian looked at his phone and could only smile bitterly.

"Sister Zhang Jing, are you done talking? Then I'll say a few more words to my brother." Xiao Xin, who was walking ahead, turned around and saw that Zhang Jing had put down her phone and said.

Zhang Jing held out her hand to him, saying, "He's already hung up."

"Ugh! How annoying! I still had something to say to him, and he just hung up! Really!" Xiao Xin took the phone, glanced at the screen, and said coquettishly.

"Hehe, are you upset that I took your phone?" Zhang Jing laughed. "Should we call him back?"

"I'm not upset at all, sister! Never mind, I won't call him. It'll save me some phone credit, hehe, sis, let's keep shopping." Xiao Xin put her phone in her bag, then affectionately linked arms with Zhang Jing and continued walking.

"Hehe, really not calling? Don't you want to talk to your sweetheart a little longer?" Zhang Jing said with a grin. But despite her smiling face, she was seething with hatred inside, thinking, "You little vixen, trying to steal the person I like, hmph, you'll get what's coming to you."

Chapter 242 Jealousy Leads to Hatred

However, Xiao Xin had no idea what Zhang Jing was thinking. She thought Zhang Jing was Yang Letian's good friend, and since she loved Yang Letian, she naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with his friend. She wanted everyone in Yang Letian's circle of friends to know that he had such a well-behaved and sensible girlfriend, even though Yang Letian had never promised them a romantic relationship. So when Zhang Jing called early this morning to invite her shopping, Xiao Xin agreed without hesitation.

"Oh, Zhang Jing, you're just teasing me! I didn't want to talk to him much!" Xiao Xin said shyly, shaking Zhang Jing's arm. "Anyway, he'll call again, maybe even tonight."

Seeing Xiao Xin's mixture of joy and shyness, Zhang Jing was furious, thinking, "Well, Yang Letian, you're so affectionate with this little vixen, calling her several times a day, but why don't

you call me as often?" "Zhang Jing, what's wrong?" Xiao Xin noticed Zhang Jing's expression and gently shook her arm.

"Oh, no. Nothing?" Zhang Jing quickly said, "He's so good to you, you're so lucky!"

Xiao Xin blushed and lowered her head, saying, "My brother is really good to me. Let me tell you, he opened my boutique for me. He's really good to me. I don't think any man in my life will treat me like he does." As she said
this, a look of happiness shone in Xiao Xin's eyes.

"Ah! I didn't expect that Yang Letian also funded this little vixen's shop. It seems he still has feelings for her." Zhang Jing thought to herself, "If I want to win Yang Letian back, this vixen is the biggest obstacle." Thinking of this, Zhang Jing began to think about how to get Xiao Xin away from Yang Letian.

Today, she came to go shopping with Xiaoxin, actually hoping to find out from Xiaoxin how deep their relationship was. Of course, more importantly, she wanted to spend more time with Xiaoxin; not necessarily to gain her trust, but at least to win her favor.

"Then congratulations, sister," Zhang Jing said with a smile. "Congratulations on finding your own happiness."

"Thank you!" Xiaoxin smiled brightly, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile. Deep down, she knew that a future with Yang Letian was unlikely. This was evident from the fact that Yang Letian never made any promises to her. Although he was very good to her, it would be difficult for him to marry her. After all, she came from a wealthy family, and even if he wanted to marry her, she felt unworthy of him.

Of course, Zhang Jing was unaware of Xiaoxin's inner thoughts, nor could she see the sadness on her face. All she saw was Xiaoxin's bright smile, and her heart ached as if pierced by needles, her face unconsciously turning painful as well.

"Zhang Jing, what's wrong? You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Xin noticed something was wrong with Zhang Jing's expression and quickly asked with concern.

"No...it's nothing!" Zhang Jing forced a smile and waved her hand, saying, "It's an old ailment. I'll be fine in a bit."

"Then let me help you to rest over there," Xiao Xin said, quickly taking her

arm. "I'm sorry, sister, I can't continue shopping with you. I need to go back and rest. I'm really sorry!" With that, Zhang Jing touched her forehead with one hand and tried to pull away from Xiao Xin's support, heading towards the mall's exit.

Seeing this, Xiao Xin quickly stepped forward and took Zhang Jing's arm, saying with concern, "Let me take you home."

"No, no need," Zhang Jing waved her hand, "I know my old ailment well, it'll be fine in a while, and it won't affect my driving. You can continue shopping."

Seeing that Zhang Jing was so insistent on not being driven, Xiao Xin had no choice but to give in, saying, "Alright then, Sister Zhang Jing, be careful and drive slowly."

"Thank you! We'll keep in touch by phone, bye!"

"Bye!" Xiao Xin waved, watching her get into her yellow sports car and drive away before turning back to continue shopping.

Zhang Jing didn't drive far, but after turning around a few streets, she parked the car on a secluded alleyway shaded by trees. Zhang Jing gripped the steering wheel with both hands, her eyes fixed on the distance with hatred. She muttered to herself, "Hmph, let you be smug for a few days, little vixen. Let's see how long you can be so smug. I refuse to believe I can't win the person I like back from you."

After a moment of self-pity and self-deprecation, she had an idea. With a flick of her hair, a cold snort, and a chilling smile on her lips, she started the car and sped away.

Zhang Jing's yellow sports car stopped in front of a small motorcycle repair shop. As soon as she got out, a young man with greasy hands, who was squatting on the ground repairing a motorcycle, stood up, waved his oily hands at her, and said, "Sister Zhang, you're here! Come in and sit down, I'll be done soon."

Zhang Jing took off her glasses, slowly walked over to him, and smiled, "It's nothing, you go ahead with your work. I just came to check on things. How's business lately?"

"Hehe, not bad," the young man said, skillfully removing the rear tire from a motorcycle while chatting with Zhang Jing. "Sister Zhang, thank you so much. If you hadn't paid for me to learn this trade and funded this repair shop, I might have died on the street long ago."

"Xiao Hu, don't be so polite. We've been good friends since childhood, and now we're all out in the city, it's only right for fellow villagers and friends to help each other," Zhang Jing also squatted down to chat with Xiao Hu.

It turned out that the young man repairing the motorcycle was surnamed Ren, named Ren Xiao Hu, and was from Zhang Jing's hometown; their families were even neighbors. Ren Xiaohu was five years younger than Zhang Jing, so ever since he learned to walk, he had followed Zhang Jing, his neighbor, around like a little girl. They were childhood friends. If it weren't for their age difference, the adults in both families would have assumed they were a couple. However, Zhang Jing knew best that she had always seen Ren Xiaohu as her younger brother and never considered anything romantic. But Ren Xiaohu didn't see it that way. His feelings for Zhang Jing gradually transformed from dependence into love. So when Zhang Jing left her hometown for the materialistic and bustling city of Linhai, Ren Xiaohu dropped out of school and followed her.

Chapter 243 Unrequited Love for Zhang Jing

Of course, Ren Xiaohu didn't come to Linhai with Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing arrived first. After watching the person he loved leave him to venture into the outside world, Ren Xiaohu instinctively realized that Zhang Jing might never return to this remote town. Thus, he conceived the idea of leaving his hometown for the city where Zhang Jing was. However, he was still in junior high school, burdened with his studies, and it was impossible for him to go out. So he considered dropping out.

The idea of dropping out immediately caused a huge uproar in his family, because his two older brothers had both gone to work instead of going to university. Therefore, his family pinned all their hopes on him, hoping he could get into university and bring honor to the family. In fact, Ren Xiaohu's grades were quite good; he was always among the top three in his class. If he continued like this, getting into university shouldn't be a problem.

For these reasons, his family naturally disagreed with him dropping out. But Ren Xiaohu was determined—he was adamant about dropping out. After several arguments, coupled with frequent truancy and skipping classes, his family had no choice but to let him go.

After successfully dropping out, Ren Xiaohu immediately rushed to Linhai. However, he didn't have Zhang Jing's contact information, and of course, he was too embarrassed to ask her family. So he worked odd jobs while searching for Zhang Jing. He thought how romantic it would be to one day meet her by chance in this unfamiliar city, on this unfamiliar street. Only then could he and Zhang Jing have a truly compelling reason: that they were destined to be together.

But reality wasn't as rosy as he imagined. Working away from home wasn't easy, especially for someone like him—still a child, uneducated, and without any skills. It was difficult to find good work; he could only work as a laborer on construction sites, doing the hardest and dirtiest jobs for the lowest wages, sometimes even withheld by the foreman. As time went on, Ren Xiaohu began to feel overwhelmed, and his hopes of finding Zhang Jing dwindled. The city wasn't large, but finding someone was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Gradually, Ren Xiaohu gave up on finding Zhang Jing and wanted to return to his hometown.

However, fate often plays cruel tricks. Just as Ren Xiaohu quit his job at the construction site and packed his bags to go home, his wallet was stolen while he was buying a ticket at the train station. This was a huge blow to Ren Xiaohu, as all the money he had worked hard for almost a year was gone. Now, not only did he have no money for a train ticket home, but he also struggled to make ends meet. This devastated Ren Xiaohu. He was heartbroken, resentful, and, most importantly, wanted revenge. So, naturally, he became a thief himself.

But being a thief wasn't easy. The first hurdle was that thieves usually operated in gangs, much like the Beggars' Sect in martial arts novels. It wasn't easy for an outsider to enter their territory to make a living. At best, they would be kicked out; at worst, they would be beaten up. Ren Xiaohu went through several twists and turns before finally joining their organization.

After becoming a full-fledged thief, Ren Xiaohu completely gave up on himself. Every day, he and his gang of thieves frequently committed crimes in crowded places like shopping malls and train stations, frantically stealing other people's valuables. Although this was dangerous, as there was always the possibility of being discovered and taken to the police station, this wasn't the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing was the infighting between factions within the thieves, fighting for territory. This is a dog-eat-dog world, and the infighting between thief factions is even more so. Whoever has more power has more and more prosperous territory to commit crimes. And power is demonstrated through fights, with many thieves injured or even killed in these fights.

Ren Xiaohu's life as a thief continued for more than a year. He thought his life was over, completely degenerate, with no present and no future. However, at this time, fate played another cruel joke on him. He actually reached into Zhang Jing's handbag.

Ren Xiaohu still vividly remembers that sunny afternoon. After successfully stealing a middle-aged woman's purse on a street lined with women, he was about to finish his day's work and head home when he noticed a girl walking ahead of him with her handbag slightly open. This was the easiest part to steal from, and Ren Xiaohu felt there was no reason not to take advantage of such a good opportunity. So he secretly followed the girl, waiting for his chance.

After following her for a while, Ren Xiaohu looked for the perfect opportunity to strike. Then, the girl stopped in front of a small jewelry store. Ren Xiaohu thought this was the perfect opportunity, so he quickly moved forward and stealthily slipped a small pair of tweezers into the girl's bag. As soon as the tweezers went in, he felt something hard. Based on his experience as a thief, he could tell it was a mobile phone. He was secretly delighted and used the tweezers to grab the phone's strap and began to pull it out.

But man proposes, God disposes. Just as Ren Xiaohu had tucked his phone into the bag and was about to pull it out, it suddenly rang. This unexpected turn of events startled Ren Xiaohu. After all, he was quite nimble-fingered and far more adept at handling emergencies than those old-fashioned people.

In that split second of Ren Xiaohu's surprise, the girl turned around. As she turned, she twisted her body, pulling the phone out of the bag. Now, what the girl saw was one end of her phone hanging on a stainless steel pair of tweezers, dangling in mid-air, while the person holding the tweezers stared at her in disbelief.

The girl's first reaction was that she had encountered a thief. She was about to scream when she noticed the thief's strange gaze. It wasn't the panicked look of a typical thief who had been discovered, but rather a look of surprise and dependence. This look seemed familiar, yet she couldn't quite place it. But this feeling prevented her from screaming. Instead, she grabbed the still-ringing phone and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Actually, everyone knew who he was and what he wanted. The girl was just trying to confirm whether she knew this person or not. But she had a feeling that she knew this thief.

"You…you are Sister Zhang Jing?" Ren Xiaohu's voice trembled.

"Ah…" The girl was surprised. Yes, she was indeed Zhang Jing.

Although Ren Xiaohu and Zhang Jing hadn't seen each other for several years, Zhang Jing's appearance hadn't changed much, but Ren Xiaohu had changed drastically. The naive young man he once was was gone; he was now a dark-skinned and strong young man. Similarly, life at the very bottom of society had prematurely matured him and made him look weathered. No wonder Zhang Jing didn't recognize him.

Ren Xiaohu knew he had changed a lot over the years, so he wasn't surprised that Zhang Jing didn't recognize him. He simply said in his trembling voice, "Sister Zhang Jing, don't you recognize me? It's me, Xiaohu!"

"Xiaohu!" Zhang Jing finally remembered him.

"Yes, it's me." Ren Xiaohu was so excited that he almost wanted to hug Zhang Jing right there in the street.

"Ah, Xiaohu, it really is you!" Zhang Jing exclaimed with delight. "What are you doing here? Hmm, you've grown taller and stronger. No wonder I didn't recognize you."

Hearing Zhang Jing's warm words, Ren Xiaohu almost choked up. All the hardships and grievances he had suffered over the years flooded his heart. He wanted to tell the person he had loved since childhood everything he had endured.

What happened next was simple and predictable. Zhang Jing listened to Ren Xiaohu's story, feeling both heartache and anger. Heartache for his suffering over the years, and anger because he had become a thief. If he were caught and the news spread back home, how could he and his family face their hometown?

Actually, Ren Xiaohu joined the thief's life purely out of revenge and the need to survive. Deep down, he disliked being a thief. So, after Zhang Jing's persuasion and scolding, Ren Xiaohu naturally promised her he would never steal again.

But what should Ren Xiaohu do next? He couldn't just keep going back to working as a temporary laborer on construction sites, which really gave Zhang Jing a headache. Back then, Zhang Jing wasn't as wealthy as she is now; she was just an ordinary employee at a regular company and didn't have the ability to arrange work for Ren Xiaohu. Although she lacked skills, she had saved some money over the years, so after much thought, she decided that Ren Xiaohu should learn a trade. She decided to fund his training at a motorcycle repair school. After completing his training, Ren Xiaohu worked as a mechanic at a motorcycle repair shop. Although the salary wasn't high, it was enough for him because he could see Zhang Jing often. However, Ren Xiaohu never had the courage to confess his feelings for her.

In the following years, Zhang Jing's career progressed smoothly; she rose through the ranks and her salary increased. She didn't forget her friend Ren Xiaohu, and she invested a large portion of the funds in his current repair shop, allowing him to become his own boss. This made Ren Xiaohu both grateful and sad. He was grateful because Zhang Jing, despite her success, hadn't forgotten him, her poor friend, and continued to support him. He was sad because as the gap between them widened, his courage to confess his feelings to Zhang Jing dwindled.

Actually, Zhang Jing knew what Ren Xiaohu was thinking. Her social experience far surpassed his, and due to her work, she was incredibly observant of men. She had long since noticed his feelings for her, but she pretended not to, remaining silent and carefully maintaining appropriate boundaries in their interactions. She simply didn't like this younger brother-like friend; she only saw him as a brother, nothing more!

Chapter 244 Strange Phone Call

Now that Zhang Jing had fallen for Yang Letian, she felt even less for Ren Xiaohu. However, seeing him still so devotedly in love with her, Zhang Jing felt uneasy. She thought that introducing him to a girlfriend might improve the situation. Although Zhang Jing had always thought this way, she hadn't found a suitable person to introduce to Ren Xiaohu, so the matter of introducing a girlfriend to him had been delayed.

But now the opportunity had arrived. Zhang Jing had come up with a good idea: to introduce Xiao Xin to Ren Xiaohu and encourage him to pursue her. If Ren Xiaohu could win her over, that would be ideal; if not, it wouldn't matter much. The point was to use the time when Yang Letian wasn't around to ensure frequent contact between Ren Xiaohu and Xiao Xin. That way, even if Ren Xiaohu hadn't won Xiao Xin over by the time Yang Letian returned, she could still create a misunderstanding for him. So, whether she succeeded or not, it would be entirely beneficial for Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing squatted down and chatted with Ren Xiaohu for a while. Suddenly, Zhang Jing said, "Xiaohu, you're twenty-one this year, right?"

"Yes, twenty-one, five years younger than you, sister," Ren Xiaohu replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"You little tiger, you know my age is something you should keep to yourself, why did you have to say it out loud? Are you trying to remind me that I'm getting old?" Zhang Jing said with a smile, feigning reproach.

"Hehe!" Ren Xiaohu chuckled sheepishly. "Sister Zhang Jing, where do you look old? I think you're the prettiest."

"Hehe, you've got a sweet tongue, you know how to charm girls." Zhang Jing casually brushed her wind-blown hair and laughed. "But you should be saying those sweet words to your girlfriend."

Hearing this, Ren Xiaohu's face flushed slightly. He didn't say anything, just continued repairing his motorcycle with his head down.

"Sister, how about I introduce you to a girlfriend?" Zhang Jing continued when Ren Xiaohu didn't respond.

"I don't want to!" It took Ren Xiaohu a long time to finally manage to say that.

"No, why don't you wait until you've met?" Zhang Jing said. "Trust your sister's judgment, that girl is very pretty, and she also owns a boutique on the pedestrian street. Her business foundation is quite good. In short, she's a good girl in every way." Zhang Jing didn't hesitate to shower Xiao Hu with praise to achieve her goal.

"Sister Zhang Jing, I... I don't want to have a girlfriend so early." Ren Xiaohu stammered.

Zhang Jing naturally understood his thoughts. However, to achieve her goal and to shift Ren Xiaohu's feelings towards her, she deliberately put

on a stern face and said, "Don't want to? You're not getting any younger, you should find a girlfriend. Besides, you don't want your parents forcing you to go on blind dates, do you?" Ren Xiaohu kept his head down and remained silent. Zhang Jing continued, "I've been worrying about this for you, you can't let me worry for nothing. Okay, it's settled then, you have to go whether you want to or not." With that, Zhang Jing stood up, straightened her skirt, and turned to walk towards her car.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaohu also stood up and said, "Sister Zhang Jing, are we leaving?"

"Yes." Zhang Jing didn't even turn her head. "Wait for my call."

Back in the car, a smug smile appeared on Zhang Jing's face. She knew Ren Xiaohu well. Although he was unwilling, after her words, he would definitely come when she called. Whether he would sincerely talk to Xiao Xin was not important. What mattered was that as long as they were together frequently, she would have a weapon to attack Xiao Xin.

At this moment, Yang Letian had no idea that Zhang Jing would use such despicable methods to win him over. Yang Letian spent the entire afternoon hiding in his hotel room sleeping, because he had nowhere else to go. All he could do was wait. Because he

had slept all afternoon, Yang Letian was unusually energetic in the evening, but he didn't know what to do. He had so much energy but didn't know how to release it. He turned on the TV, changed channels one after another, but still felt bored. So Yang Letian simply turned off the TV and prepared to go for a walk on the street again. Just then, he suddenly remembered the beautiful woman he'd met at the dance hall that night. He'd almost made love to her, but Xiao Hong's phone call interrupted his encounter, and he still felt a pang of regret.

However, Yang Letian remembered that the woman had left him her contact information, written on his palm. Thinking of this, Yang Letian quickly opened his palm and looked up. To his dismay, he nearly vomited blood. He'd been so engrossed in making love with Xiao Hong that night that he'd completely forgotten about it. He'd showered several times since, and his hands were now clean, without a trace of writing. There was no way he could rekindle their romance. Yang Letian grabbed a coat, intending to go for a walk and then return to sleep. Just as he opened the door to leave, the phone rang. Yang Letian went to the bedside, picked up the receiver, and said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Sir, would you like some service?" a sweet, coquettish voice came through the phone.

Yang Letian was secretly delighted, thinking, "Perfect timing! I was just wondering what to do for fun." He quickly asked, "Hehe, what services do you offer?"

"Hehe, sir, whatever service you want, we can provide it for you. Our service is top-notch." The voice on the phone became increasingly coquettish, to the point that Yang Letian felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't think too much about it and continued in a teasing tone, "Oh, really? Tell me, what services do you offer? I need to hear your introduction before I can decide. Hehe!"

"Yes, yes..." The voice on the phone suddenly became somewhat stuttering.

"Hehe, what is it? Tell me quickly!" Yang Letian's interest grew even more...

"Yang Letian, you naughty thing, it's me." The previously coquettish voice suddenly changed, becoming a voice that Yang Letian knew very well. This startled him so much that he almost jumped out of bed.

Chapter 245 Tingting Arrives

This voice was all too familiar to Yang Letian. He chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, Tingting, it's you! You're joking with me now."

"Hmph, you wish it were some real, sexy, and beautiful lady calling, right?" Yuan Tingting's voice was clearly tinged with anger. "I knew you'd be bored out there all alone. See? I tested you and you found out."

"Hehe, no way! It was just a joke. You think I really wanted to see them?" Yang Letian's mind raced as he made up an excuse. "You know, being out there alone, in a strange place, is so boring. So I just chatted with those ladies for a bit."

"Hmph, I don't believe you!" Yuan Tingting said dismissively.

"Sigh, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do," Yang Letian sighed.

"Hmph, do you think I can believe you?" Yuan Tingting still huffed. "Look at your voice just now, oh, what kind of services do you offer? You have to tell me before I can make a decision. Look at how lewd your voice is."

Hearing Yuan Tingting imitate his voice so perfectly, Yang Letian couldn't help but chuckle. He had tried to hold it in, but ultimately couldn't.

"You're still laughing?" Yuan Tingting was even more annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore," Yang Letian said. "Actually, think about it, if I really wanted to find prostitutes, would I deliberately chat with them like that? I would have just called them over and talked to them face to face, don't you think?"

"Who knows what kind of bad ideas you're up to?" Yuan Tingting was still relentless, but her tone softened slightly.

Yang Letian was secretly pleased and pressed his advantage, saying, "What bad ideas could I possibly have? I'm just telling the truth."

"Hmph, you know best whether it's the truth or not," Yuan Tingting said irritably.

"Hehe!" Yang Letian chuckled dryly, changing the subject. "Oh, right, let me tell you, things aren't going very smoothly here. Sigh, Yu Jie will call soon and I'll get a good scolding."

"Hmph, things aren't going well and you still have the mood to joke with a young lady? I'm truly impressed." Yuan Tingting's tone softened noticeably.

"Hehe, just bored." Yang Letian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "I need to be more careful with calls from unknown numbers in the future, I can't make the same mistake as today." "

Hmph, I knew you were bored, so I came. But if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come."

Yang Letian was taken aback and said, "You're here? What do you mean?" "

You're so stupid! I'm here, that's all. Do you need to ask what it means?" Yuan Tingting said angrily.

"Could it be that you've come to Qingyang too?" Yang Letian asked suspiciously.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, come to the lobby and see for yourself." After saying that, Yuan Tingting hung up the phone.

Yang Letian was both surprised and delighted. He quickly hung up the phone and rushed out to the elevator without even putting on a coat. Once in the lobby, Yang Letian's eyes scanned the area and, sure enough, he saw Yuan Tingting sitting on a sofa in the lobby lounge area, legs crossed, her posture elegant and alluring.

Yang Letian adjusted his expression and smiled as he walked towards Yuan Tingting. Yuan Tingting had already seen him but deliberately turned her head away, refusing to look at him directly.

"What? Still angry with me?" Yang Letian smiled and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

"Hmph, who has time to be angry with you?" Yuan Tingting still wouldn't look at him.

"Alright, don't be angry." Yang Letian stepped forward and squatted down in front of her. "Alright, I promise you now, I won't flirt with those girls again next time, is that alright?"

"Alright, stand up quickly, look, everyone's watching us." Yuan Tingting said shyly.

"Hehe, let's go back to the room then, so they can't see us anymore." Yang Letian took Yuan Tingting's hand.

Yuan Tingting was half-heartedly pulled up by Yang Letian. However, she didn't say a word the whole way, and Yang Letian didn't try to tease her either, just held her hand tightly, knowing that sometimes body language was more effective than words.

As soon as they entered the room, Yang Letian immediately picked Yuan Tingting up.

"Ah! What are you doing? Put me down!" Yuan Tingting cried out.

"Hehe, I won't put you down!" Yang Letian spun her around in circles, saying, "I'll put you down whenever you laugh."

"Haha, put me down already, you've made my head spin." Finally, Yuan Tingting couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He put Yuan Tingting down, but she was still dizzy in Yang Letian's arms, the spinning still making her unsteady. "You're so annoying, you made my head spin so much!" Yuan Tingting complained.

"Hehe, then I'll carry you to bed," Yang Letian laughed.

"Go away, what mischief are you up to now?" Yuan Tingting slapped his hand away and sat down on the sofa.

"Hehe, I just wanted to carry you to bed to rest, what mischief am I up to?" As he spoke, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Yuan Tingting. "Oh, by the way, what brings you here? You're not here on a business trip either, are you?"

Hearing Yang Letian's words, Yuan Tingting's face flushed slightly. She took the water and took a sip, saying, "I suddenly felt a little missing you, so I rushed over."

Yang Letian was very touched upon hearing this and said, "You drove over a hundred kilometers to see me."

Yuan Tingting tilted her head and smiled, "Yes, aren't you very touched?"

"Yes, so touched!" Yang Letian exaggeratedly wiped his eyes and said, "I'm almost in tears."

"Haha, don't be ridiculous!" Yuan Tingting laughed so hard she almost shook. Taking advantage of the situation

, Yang Letian hugged her and said, "Really, I'm really touched. You're so kind! I was feeling bored and lonely when you appeared at just the right time. Don't you think we're really destined for each other?"

Chapter 246 Gentle Communication

Yuan Tingting leaned against Yang Letian's chest and said softly, "Yes, sometimes I think there really is something called fate between us, otherwise we wouldn't be like this now."

Yang Letian held her and let her rest her head on his lap, saying, "Yes, fate is truly a wonderful thing! Oh, by the way, how long will you be staying this time?" Yang Letian was still a little worried, thinking that if Yuan Tingting stayed here for a long time, she might discover the little secret between him and Xiao Hong, and if that were discovered, it would be very bad. However, he thought Yuan Tingting probably wouldn't stay for long, after all, she was also a high-level employee in the company, and there were many things waiting for her to handle.

Just as Yang Letian had expected, Yuan Tingting said, "How much longer? I need to go back tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing this, Yang Letian felt relieved, but said, "So urgent? You've come all this way, why not stay a few more days?"

Yuan Tingting sighed and said, "I can't. There's a ton of work waiting for you at the company. Even if you wanted to take leave, you couldn't."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any plans lately?" Yang Letian asked.

Yuan Tingting understood what Yang Letian was referring to and said, "Yu Jie has been quite the big shot in the company lately. First, your backdoor listing plan has been well-received by the board of directors. Second, the general manager of the Northwest branch that Yu Jie recommended has also established himself there and made some progress in the market. So the board of directors has praised Yu Jie highly. Alas, the situation is quite unfavorable for us."

"Ah! What should we do then?" Yang Letian exclaimed. "Don't you have any countermeasures?"

Yuan Tingting smiled at Yang Letian, clearly pleased with his concerned expression. She said softly, "Don't worry. Although Yu Jie is quite the big shot right now, the threat she poses isn't that great. Besides, no matter how much trouble she causes, my father is still the chairman of the board, and the decision-making power is still in our hands. As for the year-end board meeting, there's still some time before then. I believe we will come up with an excellent plan to counter Yu Jie's provocations." "

Is that so? That's good!" Yang Letian nodded. But in his heart, he thought, "Could she be hiding something from me again?" Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind, and Yang Letian couldn't help but scold himself for not being more suspicious; being paranoid wasn't in his nature.

"Yes, that's right. We're still the largest shareholder. As long as we firmly hold onto our position as the largest shareholder, we won't be afraid of her causing any trouble. Of course, we still need to stay vigilant at all times," Yuan Tingting said.

"Has Yu Jie not been acquiring any more company stock recently?" Yang Letian asked. He knew that with Yu Jie's shrewdness, she should know what was important and wouldn't only do things that

weren't very effective. "Hehe, she wants to acquire, but where can she acquire? As long as Old Master Wei doesn't sell his shares to her, she can't possibly become the largest shareholder," Yuan Tingting said dismissively.

"It's better to be careful," Yang Letian said, stroking her hair. "Yu Jie is not someone to be underestimated."

"Hehe, I know," Yuan Tingting said, tilting her head back and touching Yang Letian's cheek. "Oh, by the way, you said your matter wasn't going very smoothly. Tell me, what difficulties did you encounter?"

"Sigh, don't mention it. Anyway, this matter itself is not easy to handle. I can only say that I will do my best. Man proposes, God disposes," Yang Letian sighed.

"Yes, I know. This matter is quite difficult, otherwise Yu Jie wouldn't have given you such tempting conditions."

Speaking of conditions, Yang Letian remembered something and quickly said, "Sit here for a while, I'll go inside and get something to show you." As he spoke, he gently lifted Yuan Tingting's head from his lap and then stood up.

"What is it?" Yuan Tingting asked, looking at him in confusion.

"Hehe, you'll see when you see it."

"Tch, why all the secrecy?"

A moment later, Yang Letian came out of the bedroom, holding a piece of paper. He handed it to Yuan Tingting and said, "Take a look."

"What is it?" Yuan Tingting took it and glanced at it. "Ah! An agreement?"

Yang Letian smiled and said, "That's right! Last time you reminded me that Yu Jie's promise to me was just a verbal promise and didn't count. So, I quickly signed a written agreement with her."

Yuan Tingting looked at it briefly and said, "How did you get this agreement? Did you ask for it?"

“Hehe, no, she gave it to me willingly.” Yang Letian sat down beside her and put his arm around her shoulder, laughing.

“That Yu Jie is really shrewd; she’s thought of everything you can think of.” Yuan Tingting frowned and said, “Maybe she’s thought of things we haven’t thought of either.”

Yang Letian was slightly taken aback, but then he hugged Yuan Tingting tighter and said, “Don’t think too much. At least we’re safe now, aren’t we?”

“Hehe, that’s true!” Yuan Tingting smiled charmingly. “Come on, carry me to the bedroom.” As she spoke, she spread her arms and looked at Yang Letian, her posture playful and alluring, making Yang Letian’s heart flutter.

Yang Letian gently bent down and carried Yuan Tingting in his arms, walking step by step towards the bedroom. Yuan Tingting hugged Yang Letian’s neck tightly, pressing her head against his chest, listening to his rapid and powerful heartbeat.

Yang Letian came to the bedside, bent down and gently placed Yuan Tingting on the bed. Then he gently took off her high heels, sat on the edge of the bed, placed one of her feet on his lap, and gently massaged her heel through her stockings, saying, "You've been driving for several hours, are you tired? Come, let me give you a massage."

Yuan Tingting was somewhat intoxicated by Yang Letian's gentle and meticulous actions. She closed her eyes lightly, rested one foot on Yang Letian's lap and let him massage her, while her other foot gently rubbed against his back. Her body swayed slightly, looking extremely alluring and charming.

After massaging Yuan Tingting's two slender feet in turn, Yang Letian leaned down, his nose almost touching hers, and laughed, "How was it? How was my technique?"

Yuan Tingting opened her eyes, revealing a charming smile, and said, "It was really great, comparable to the foot masseuses in those regular foot massage parlors, hehe, did you get it done there before?"

Chapter 247 Affectionate Encounters with Tingting

"Hehe, you noticed that, amazing!" Yang Letian chuckled, rubbing his nose against hers.

"You're so annoying!" Yuan Tingting said, grabbing Yang Letian's neck and lightly biting his nose.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Yang Letian exaggeratedly covered his nose.

"Hehe! Serves you right!" Yuan Tingting blinked her beautiful eyes and laughed, "I want to bite again!" Saying this, she exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide, as if to bite his nose again.

Yang Letian quickly dodged back, grinning, "No, my nose isn't pretty to begin with. If I bite it again, I won't be able to go out in public. How about this, I'll let you bite my lips, okay?" He then brought his lips close to hers.

"Hehe, your mouth smells so bad, I'm not going to bite you," Yuan Tingting laughed, turning her head away.

"Fine, you say my mouth smells bad? Well, I'll make it smell bad for you!" Yang Letian then pretended to kiss Yuan Tingting.

"Haha...no!" Yuan Tingting laughed, dodging him.

Just as the two were playfully teasing each other, Yuan Tingting's phone rang. "Lie still, I'll get it for you," Yang Letian said, walking to the living room and taking the phone out of her bag. The screen displayed the word "Dad."

"It's Chairman Yuan calling," Yang Letian said, handing the phone to Yuan Tingting.

Yuan Tingting glanced at the screen, then shushed Yang Letian, signaling him to be quiet, before answering the call. Yang Letian felt it wasn't appropriate to sit next to her and listen to her on the phone, so he left the bedroom and went to the living room to watch TV, turning the volume down very low.

About five minutes later, Yang Letian heard Yuan Tingting call from inside, "Letian, what are you doing out there?"

"I'm watching TV. Are you done on the phone?" Yang Letian remained seated on the sofa.

"Finished? Come in," Yuan Tingting called again from the bedroom.

Yang Letian entered the bedroom and saw Yuan Tingting bending over to take off her stockings. Her legs, previously glossy from the stockings, were revealed as they slowly rolled down, revealing her fair skin.

"What did the chairman say just now?" Yang Letian asked, sitting on the edge of the bed watching her gracefully remove her stockings.

"Sigh, he was just trying to persuade me to move back home," Yuan Tingting said, tossing the stockings aside. "I don't want to go back and live with them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought a house."

"Oh, right, have you moved into your new house yet?" Hearing this, Yang Letian remembered the house.

"Hehe, I moved in yesterday. This is my little nest from now on."

"Hehe, can I live in your little nest from now on?" Yang Letian stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder, laughing.

"Hehe, sure, but you have to pay rent."

"Wow, you're such a little money-grubber!" Yang Letian pinched her nose and said, "So? Are you satisfied with the house? If not, I'll ask my friend to change it."

"Hehe, no need, I'm very satisfied. The decoration and design are exactly what I wanted, and the price is very reasonable, much cheaper than the market price. Your friend is really loyal."

"Hehe, of course, he and I are best buddies." Yang Letian couldn't help but secretly thank He Xiao for giving him face in front of Yuan Tingting.

"Hehe, okay, since you also contributed, I'll give you something as a gift." Yuan Tingting hooked her arm around Yang Letian's neck and giggled.

"What is it?"

"Hehe, it's in my bag, can you get it for me?"

Yang Letian went out again, picked up her LV handbag, weighed it in his hand, and found it very light. He thought to himself, "What could I possibly get from this?"

"Here, your bag." Yang Letian handed the handbag to Yuan Tingting.

Yuan Tingting sat up, unzipped the bag, and took out a set of keys, saying, "This is for you."

Yang Letian understood and said, "Your house keys?"

Yuan Tingting nodded and said, "Yes, so you can come and go as you please."

"Hehe, then I'll be impolite." With that, Yang Letian offered his hot lips. Yuan Tingting wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, responding passionately.

Yang Letian's hands landed on her full breasts, beginning to unbutton her suit jacket. Yuan Tingting's hands were not idle either, hastily and frantically removing his shirt. Soon, the two were naked, writhing and intertwined.

"Come on, take me..." Yuan Tingting murmured, her breath heavy with desire echoing in Yang Letian's ears.

The neon lights outside the window shimmered, while the pink light inside bathed the room.

Yang Letian leaned down, covering Yuan Tingting's boneless, soft body, greedily savoring her tender neck and full breasts. He buried his head deep within, experiencing the suffocating pleasure. Under his caresses, the pink areolas beside Yuan Tingting's rosy nipples expanded, forming fine bumps under his licking. His tongue moved down the peaks, following the graceful curve to her fragrant armpits.

Yang Letian greedily inhaled the fragrance of her body, his breaths heavy with desire, so alluring and seductive against the gentle night's accompaniment. His hand slowly pressed against her full, mysterious garden, gently kneading it as he watched Yuan Tingting with a smile, softly kissing her forehead. Gradually, Yuan Tingting grew accustomed to his actions. As Yang Letian prepared to remove her panties, she let out a soft moan, finding her eyes blurry and her shoulders weak.

Slowly, Yang Letian embraced her, removing her last barrier. Yuan Tingting tried to pull away, but Yang Letian held her down. When his cool lips pressed against her warm body, Yuan Tingting felt incredibly comfortable. As their bodies pressed tightly together, he caressed her breasts from below, slowly kneading them while relentlessly kissing her. Yuan Tingting felt her whole body go limp like a jellyfish, losing all strength, almost collapsing.

Then, Yang Letian lifted her body, persistently and repeatedly caressing her, while his other hand wandered to her genitals. For a moment, Yuan Tingting's body trembled, and she closed her eyes, letting him do as he pleased. After a while, Yuan Tingting finally couldn't help but twist her body and moan. Yang Letian then picked her up without hesitation, made her lie face down on the bed, and kissed her all over her back. Suddenly, he pressed down on her from behind. Yuan Tingting tried to turn around, but Yang Letian's powerful strength pressed her down, his angry, purplish-red penis already inside her. Yuan Tingting's body melted like cream, and she couldn't help but bend over, raising her buttocks higher to meet Yang Letian's attack. Pleasure shot from her toes to the top of her head. Yang Letian moved intensely, as if he had entered a state of self-forgetfulness. Yuan Tingting felt his heavy breathing behind her, his body convulsing rapidly. She closed her eyes in pleasure and began to sway her hips, her body trembling from the impact.

She cried out passionately, "Ah, oh, Letian, this is so good!" Her hips swayed even more violently, her body arching back, her fingers gripping Yang Letian's back tightly. "Oh, I'm dying, hurry!" Yuan Tingting knew her climax was approaching. Her vagina was convulsing in waves, as if a surge of pleasurable fluid was flowing from her uterus, a torrent of intense pleasure that made her feel as if she were floating. Suddenly, her eyes widened, a vacant, gleaming light in them. With a shout, she gripped Yang Letian tightly, feeling him throbbing and trembling inside her. His glans twitched as if electrocuted, each thrust faster and more intense than the last, a torrent of semen surging over her. She could feel his immense power; if he weren't inside her, his thick, snot-like semen would have gushed several feet out. They both reached their climax simultaneously.

The heart-pounding, blushing breaths finally ceased, and both felt utterly exhausted. They embraced tightly and fell into a deep sleep. They didn't know how long they slept when they were suddenly awakened by a rapid phone ring. Yang Letian groggily answered, "Hello! Who is it?"

"Sleeping now? Looks like things went very smoothly for you," Yu Jie's voice came through Yang Letian's ears.

"Oh, Ms. Yu!" Yang Letian was mostly awake now, and said somewhat awkwardly, "No, no, I've encountered some difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jie's voice immediately turned serious. She said, "I told you to call me every day to report, and what did you do? Not only did you not report the difficulties, but you also had the mood to sleep in. Is this how you handle things?"

Chapter 248 After seeing

Tingting off, Yang Letian's sleepiness completely vanished after being scolded by Yu Jie. In its place rose a little anger, but he still managed to restrain himself and patiently waited for Yu Jie to finish her reprimand before saying, "Ms. Yu, please let me finish. There are some difficulties, but I have a solution. My intention was to report to you after things had made some progress."

"Oh, is that so?" Yu Jie's tone softened slightly. "Then you shouldn't have made the decision on your own. Didn't I tell you? You have to report every day, whether there's progress or not."

"Yes, Ms. Yu, I know I handled this somewhat improperly, I won't do it again next time," Yang Letian said respectfully, barely suppressing his anger.

"That's all for now," Yu Jie said. "Remember, continue to report to me tomorrow night." After saying that, Yu Jie hung up the phone.

"Damn it, what's with the attitude? She's just a lousy general manager!" Yang Letian said angrily as he put down the phone.

"Was that Yu Jie calling to inquire about the progress?" Yuan Tingting asked, her starry eyes slightly open.

"Oh, you're awake?" Yang Letian said, stroking her hair.

Yuan Tingting smiled and said, "You're so loud, if I didn't wake up, wouldn't I be sleeping like a log?"

"Hehe!" Yang Letian smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, I woke you up."

"You seem unhappy." Yuan Tingting looked at him and said, "Did Yu Jie blame you?"

"Sigh, yes, she thinks I'm not doing a good job." Yang Letian sighed and said, "I'm just doing my job, there's nothing I can do."

Yuan Tingting affectionately touched his face and said, "Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't transferred you to Yu Jie's side in the first place, you wouldn't have had to put up with her."

"Hehe, how can I blame you? I know you were doing it for my own good." Yang Letian lowered his head and kissed her hair and said, "Don't worry about me, I can take a little scolding."

Yuan Tingting looked at him affectionately and said, "I believe you will achieve great things, and I don't think all the grievances you've suffered will be in vain."

"Hehe, I hope so." Yang Letian hugged Yuan Tingting tightly...

The next day, Yang Letian and Yuan Tingting slept until late morning. They then had lunch at the hotel. After lunch, Yuan Tingting had to rush back to Linhai. Sitting in Yuan Tingting's Porsche, Yang Letian said, "Don't work too hard. Work is important, but your health is more important. Drive carefully."

Yuan Tingting smiled and said, "I know, you too!"

"Yes, I will. Bye!" With that, Yang Letian leaned in and kissed her cheek, then opened the car door and got out.

Yuan Tingting waved to him, then started the car and drove past him gracefully. After watching her red Porsche merge into the traffic, Yang Letian was about to turn back when he heard a silvery laugh beside him: "Hehe... What a touching farewell scene! I'm so lucky to witness such a romantic moment."

Yang Letian turned around in surprise and saw Xiao Hong walking towards him with a beaming smile. Her hair was piled high on her head, and she wore small sunglasses. She wore a long, narrow, sky-blue suit jacket with a simple white plum blossom embroidered on the right front. The collar of her white shirt was exposed, and she wore matching sky-blue trousers. The entire outfit was simple yet exuded elegance.

"When did you arrive?" Yang Letian asked, a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, I've been here for a while. Seeing you two so affectionate, I didn't want to disturb you, so I just watched from the sidelines," Xiao Hong said with an elegant shrug and a smile.

"Ah! So you saw everything?" Yang Letian said.

"Yes, I saw someone and someone hugging and kissing sweetly, hehe..." Xiao Hong laughed.

Yang Letian smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Oh, by the way, did you come here with good news to tell me?" Yang Letian wanted to change the subject; he didn't want to talk about his relationship with Yuan Tingting everywhere, even though this was Qingyang, not Linhai.

However, Xiao Hong wasn't swayed by Yang Letian's words. Instead of answering him, she continued to ask, "Was that girl your girlfriend? She's so pretty, and she looks really rich too, a Porsche, a luxury car."

Since Xiao Hong pressed him for an answer, Yang Letian couldn't deliberately avoid the question, so he nodded and said, "Yes, she's my girlfriend, hehe, what do you think?"

"More than pretty? She's young and beautiful, and she looks really rich. Unlike me? Old and ugly." Xiao Hong's words clearly carried a hint of sourness.

Yang Letian was a master of romance, and he easily detected the sour undertone in her words. He stepped closer to Xiao Hong and said in a joking tone, "Oh dear, I smell a strong sourness about you!"

"You…" Xiao Hong blushed instantly, making a move to hit him, but then she realized they were at the hotel entrance, surrounded by people. Although no one here knew she was a high-ranking municipal official, such playful fighting was still uncivilized. So she could only glare at Yang Letian, meaning she'd settle the score later.

Yang Letian chuckled and said, "Cousin, shall we go inside or go for a walk?"

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and said, "Come on, let's go for a walk by the sea in your car."

"Okay, wait here, I'll bring the car over."

A moment later, Yang Letian drove the car to Xiao Hong's side. Xiao Hong instinctively looked around, then opened the car door and quickly got in. Once inside, she took off her small sunglasses.

"Are you afraid someone will recognize you?" Yang Letian gripped the steering wheel with one hand and gently placed the other on Xiao Hong's thigh.

Xiao Hong sighed softly and said, "Yes, sometimes I really feel like I'm playing with fire. One wrong move and I'll be burned to ashes, leaving no trace."

Chapter 249 Watching the Sea Together

Yang Letian listened, feeling somewhat unconvinced. He thought to himself, "I don't believe you bought that luxurious villa you own in Linhai with your salary or any legal income. It must have been obtained through embezzlement or bribery. Isn't that playing with fire? I think you've already made the fire big enough, why bother adding another layer?" "

Letian, tell me honestly, do you think I'm despicable, and do you look down on me from the bottom of your heart?" Xiao Hong looked at Yang Letian seriously and said.

"How could that be?" Yang Letian moved his hand from her thigh to her shoulder, letting her rest her head on his shoulder, and said, "Don't overthink it. I don't mean to look down on you at all. On the contrary, I'm worried that you look down on me."

"Look down on you? Why do you feel that way?" Xiao Hong looked up and asked.

"Because you know I already have a girlfriend, but I'm still with other women outside. Do you think I'm really promiscuous and vulgar?" Yang Letian said.

"Hehe." Hearing Yang Letian's words, Xiao Hong, who had just looked resentful, became playful and laughed, "Being promiscuous is for sure, but vulgarity is out of the question."

"Hehe, is that so? I'm relieved to hear that." Yang Letian patted her shoulder and laughed.

"Let me ask you a question." Xiao Hong said.

"Go ahead."

"Do you love your girlfriend?"

"Of course!" Yang Letian answered without hesitation.

"And what about me?" Xiao Hong pressed on.

"You?" Yang Letian was clearly taken aback. He hadn't expected Xiao Hong to ask such a idiotic question. Even a fool would know that there was no love between them. Could it be that she had fallen in love with him? This made Yang Letian feel a chill run down his spine. He didn't want Xiao Hong to love him; at most, he hoped she could like him. The word "love" was too heavy; he couldn't give it to her.

"Yes, me... do you love me?" Xiao Hong pressed further.

"Hehe, I like you very much," Yang Letian answered evasively.

Xiao Hong's face darkened. She leaned back slightly in her seat, freeing herself from Yang Letian's hand, and sighed softly, "I know, haha. It's my fault for being so foolish. How could I ask such a stupid question?"

Yang Letian glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, sighing inwardly. He thought to himself, "Why are women so incredibly foolish when they're being silly, and so terrifyingly shrewd when they're being shrewd? Women are truly extreme creatures." Thinking of this, he thought of Qin Xiaolu. Was she doing well with Yuan Chengbin? She must be doing very well, after all, she was living the life she wanted.

"What are you thinking about? Do you also think I'm incredibly foolish?" Xiao Hong asked, looking at Yang Letian.

"No, I don't think so," Yang Letian replied somewhat insincerely.

"Haha, don't deny it. Actually, I could see it in your eyes. You think I'm foolish, and not just a little bit foolish," Xiao Hong laughed with a hint of resentment.

"What's wrong? Why has she suddenly become like this?" Yang Letian wondered to himself. "How did the shrewd, capable, and passionate Xiao Hong suddenly become so melancholic and sentimental? Like a character from a Qiong Yao novel." Thinking this, Yang Letian quickly said, "Really, I didn't think you were stupid. If a fool could become a minister, hehe, then I'd rather be a fool." Yang Letian intentionally tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Get lost! I'm being serious with you, and you're joking around," Xiao Hong rolled her eyes at Yang Letian.

Yang Letian chuckled and pointed ahead, saying, "Look, there's a beach up ahead. Let's park there, okay?"

"No, that place is too crowded. I prefer quiet. I know a very quiet place. Let's go there." Xiao Hong rested her chin on her hand, her arm propped on the window, gazing wistfully outside.

"Okay, but where is that place? Is it far?" Yang Letian asked.

"Just drive, I'll point you in the right direction at the intersection."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, I'll do whatever you say." After saying that, Yang Letian focused intently on the road ahead and drove with concentration. For a moment, the small car was completely silent, with only the rustling of the wind. The two seemed to enjoy this rare quiet. Yang Letian had originally thought of playing some soothing music, but now he gave up on that idea.

After driving for about half an hour, the car exited the highway and turned onto a simple forest road. The road was in decent condition at first, allowing two cars to drive side by side, but it became narrower and narrower as they went on, until finally only one car could pass at a time. The road surface was also bumpy and extremely uneven, making Yang Letian and Xiao Hong quite shaken.

"It looks like there's no road ahead," Yang Letian said, looking ahead.

"Hehe, there is almost no road, but we can still drive a little further," Xiao Hong said, gripping the handrail tightly.

"I really admire you. You even found such a remote place. Do you come here often?" Yang Letian gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Hehe, I discovered this place by chance," Xiao Hong said, brushing her wind-blown hair behind her ear. "But I've come here often since then, though always alone. Today is the first time I've come with someone else."

"Hehe, then I'm honored!" Yang Letian chuckled. "But you're quite bold, daring to come to such a remote place alone. That's impressive!"

"Hehe, what's so special about that? Let me tell you, I even came here late at night once," Xiao Hong laughed. "That time was truly unforgettable! I remember it was the sixteenth, the moon was big and round, illuminating the earth with a hazy brightness. Sitting alone by the sea, looking at the horizon, gazing at the moonlight, and listening to the sound of the waves, the scene was incredibly beautiful! One's heart is purest and most beautiful at that moment. I really want to go back sometime."

Hearing Xiao Hong's deeply enraptured voice, Yang Letian laughed, "I didn't realize you were so fond of romance."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong immediately feigned anger, "What do you mean by that? Do you think romance is only for little girls, and that an old woman like me doesn't deserve it?"

Chapter 250 Tranquil Seaside

"Look, look, you've misunderstood me again. I didn't say that," Yang Letian quickly explained. "It's just that in my impression, strong women aren't usually so romantic, so prone to indulging in romantic musings."

"Wrong! Completely wrong!" Xiao Hong said. "All women love romance, that's undeniable. It seems you still don't understand women well enough, hehe!"

"Hehe, you women are the hardest to understand," Yang Letian laughed.

"Hmph, hard to understand? That's because you haven't tried to understand," Xiao Hong glanced at Yang Letian.

"Hehe!" Yang Letian chuckled twice, but didn't continue her line of thought. At this point, the car could no longer proceed, as there was only a narrow path less than a meter wide ahead.

"Alright, let's get off here. It's just a few more steps forward," Xiao Hong said, opening the car door and getting out.

Yang Letian followed her out. He looked around; the surroundings were all trees, like being in a deep mountain forest, not at all like being at the seaside. Yang Letian asked doubtfully, "Is this the way to the sea? It looks more like we're going hunting in the mountains."

"Hehe, just follow me, I guarantee you'll see the real sea in no time! Come on!" With that, Xiao Hong led the way. Yang Letian followed closely behind her. It was very quiet; the only sounds were the rustling of pine branches underfoot and the occasional calls of birds flying overhead. Walking alone on such a quiet forest path, even in broad daylight, would be a little scary, let alone at night. Thinking about this, Yang Letian really admired Xiao Hong's courage.

After walking for about five minutes, Yang Letian began to hear the sound of waves, but still couldn't see the sea. However, he knew it was definitely not far ahead, so he said, "I think we're almost there."

"Yes, almost there, just a few more steps," Xiao Hong said, taking Yang Letian's hand.

At this moment, Yang Letian said, "Come on, let me go first, you follow behind me." With that, Yang Letian stepped forward, walking ahead of Xiao Hong, and took her hand, pulling her close behind him. The path here had narrowed to less than a foot wide, with huge stone walls on both sides. Yang Letian and Xiao Hong almost had to walk sideways to pass.

This narrow path, cleaved through the rocks, was about fifty or sixty meters long. Yang Letian, holding Xiao Hong's hand, carefully and slowly walked forward. Then Yang Letian said, "You often come here on such a difficult path, and you've even come at night! I can't believe it."

"Hehe, that time I was drunk, and I came on a whim. Normally, you could kill me and I wouldn't dare come here alone at night."

"Hehe, no wonder! Alcohol gives you courage, that's absolutely true."

"Hehe, stop talking, look, we're here!" Xiao Hong shook his hand.

Yang Letian turned his head and looked ahead. Sure enough, he had already walked out of the narrow path between the stones. Before him was a bright and open space. A dozen meters away was a soft sandy beach. The seawater gently lapped against the sand and then slowly receded. The afternoon sun shone on the sea, giving off a golden glow. Several seagulls were flying over the sea. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

Xiao Hong pulled Yang Letian's hand and ran forward to the beach. She opened her arms, closed her eyes, and took several deep breaths of the fresh, slightly salty air. "How is it? Pretty nice, right?" she said.

Yang Letian also tilted his head back and took a few deep breaths. "Yeah, it's really nice! The environment is good and quiet, it's like a paradise. How did you find such a good place?"

"Hehe, I found it by chance." With that, Xiao Hong plopped down on the sand, took off her shoes, then her socks, rolled up her trousers, and laughed. "Hmm, this is much more comfortable! Letian, you should take off your shoes too, it feels so good to walk barefoot on the sand."

"Okay!" Yang Letian also sat down, took off his shoes and socks, and walked barefoot on the sand, feeling extremely comfortable.

And so, Yang Letian and Xiao Hong strolled leisurely hand in hand on the beach, occasionally kicking at the fine sand. Sometimes, they would run into deeper waters when the tide receded, only to scream and run back to shore when the tide came in, laughing and playing as if they had returned to their childhood.

"Oh, I forgot my swimsuit. Otherwise, we could go swimming, that would be even more fun," Xiao Hong said, splashing in the waves.

"Hehe, we could go skinny dipping," Yang Letian said with a grin.

"Go away, dream on," Xiao Hong rolled her eyes at him.

"Hehe, if you don't want to skinny dipping, then forget it. Let's go rest under that big rock over there," Yang Letian said, pointing to a large rock not far ahead.

The two went to the shady spot under the rock, leaned against the smooth surface, and sat down side by side. A cool breeze was blowing, and gazing into the distance, they felt a sense of liberation.

"Letian, wouldn't it be wonderful if there really was a paradise like the one described by Tao Yuanming?" Xiao Hong murmured, leaning against Yang Letian. Her expression was as innocent as a little girl's.

"Yes! But I think even if such a place existed, it wouldn't be suitable for us to live in," Yang Letian said, gazing into the distance.

Xiao Hong was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why?"

"Because neither of us are the kind of people who are content with a mundane life."

Xiao Hong's expression darkened, and she brushed her hair aside, looking into the distance. "Yes, you're right. Neither of us are the kind of people who are content with a mundane life. We are entangled by too many desires, and we can't escape them even if we want to."

"Since we can't escape them, let's enjoy this temporary peace," Yang Letian said, holding her tighter.

The sky was very blue, the clouds were thin, and waves rolled in, creating white sprays. The sea breeze carried a slightly salty scent, bringing a refreshing and invigorating feeling. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with nothing but the sound of the waves crashing. This made Yang Letian and Xiao Hong feel as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Chapter 251 Passion by the Sea

Xiao Hong leaned against Yang Letian, quietly gazing into the distance, saying nothing, seemingly wanting to merge with the world. Yang Letian, clearly captivated by the surroundings, forgot his concerns, holding Xiao Hong close as they gazed into the distance.

A pleasant cell phone ring broke the silence, coming from Xiao Hong's bag. She took out her phone, glanced at it, pressed the reject button, and then turned it off.

"Who is it? Why didn't you answer?" Yang Letian asked, looking at her.

"I don't want anyone to disturb this rare peace," Xiao Hong said, tilting her head back and smiling at him. "So I hope you'll turn off your phone too, so as not to spoil the mood."

"Okay," Yang Letian said. He also took his phone out of his pocket and turned it off in front of Xiao Hong.

"Hehe, you're so good!" Xiao Hong said, leaning forward and planting a loud kiss on Yang Letian's cheek.

"Hehe, what reward will you give me for being so good?" Yang Letian said with a grin.

“Ah! Wasn’t that my reward just now?” Xiao Hong said.

“That counts as a reward?”

“Of course it does!”

“I suppose so, but this reward is too light, not good.” Yang Letian said with a wicked smile.

“What a greedy guy!” Xiao Hong had already seen through his wicked smile and knew what he was up to, but she still blushed and said, “Then tell me, what reward do you want?”

“Don’t you think making love here by the sea, between heaven and earth, is the most romantic thing?” Yang Letian said, lightly licking her earlobe.

“Go away, are you trying to kill me!” Xiao Hong blushed and pinched Yang Letian’s thigh hard.

"Ouch!" Yang Letian cried out in pain.

"Hehe, let's see if you still have that crooked idea?" Xiao Hong teased him with a mischievous smile.

"I'll hit you even if you point a knife at me, hehe!" As he spoke, Yang Letian's hands had already taken over her breasts. Xiao Hong immediately let out a soft "Mmm" and collapsed into Yang Letian's arms, unable to move.

"Hehe, cousin, your body tells me you also want to try making love in this world." Yang Letian teased Xiao Hong, whose face was flushed and whose chest was heaving.

"Hmph, don't say that!" Although Xiao Hong was scolding him, her eyes were full of desire, which made Yang Letian even more aroused.

Yang Letian began to unbutton her blue suit jacket, put his hands inside her white shirt, lifted her bra, and pressed them against her high and warm breasts. Xiao Hong's body trembled violently. She wanted to scream, but bit her lower lip, letting out a suppressed groan. Yang Letian continued, one hand cupping her hardened nipple, the other exploring her smooth breasts.

"No, no! Someone will see us!" Xiao Hong stopped Yang Letian's hand, which was creeping towards her thigh.

"Hehe, look, there's no one here. Not even a bird," Yang Letian laughed.

Xiao Hong looked at him seductively, "Who said there aren't any birds? Look, aren't those birds?" She gestured with her lips, indicating he should look at the seagulls flying over the sea.

"Hehe, those birds aren't anything special. Look at my bird instead," Yang Letian said, guiding Xiao Hong's hand to his erect penis.

Xiao Hong's face flushed even more, but she held tightly to Yang Letian's manhood, playfully laughing, "Your bird isn't as big as the ones that fly in the sky."

"Hehe, is that so?" Yang Letian shifted his target, gently biting her earlobe with his mouth. This was one of Xiao Hong's most sensitive spots; as soon as Yang Letian bit it, she immediately went limp, letting Yang Letian's strange hand slip into her waistband. Yang Letian skillfully unbuckled her belt, and Xiao Hong cooperated by lifting her buttocks, allowing him to easily pull down her trousers.

"Hehe, look, it's all wet here," Yang Letian chuckled wickedly.

"Oh, you're so mean, don't say that!" Xiao Hong was both ashamed and anxious. Of course, she knew what was happening to her body, so she quickly covered Yang Letian's mouth with her hand, stopping him from saying anything more indecent. At the same time, Xiao Hong also squeezed her legs together to prevent Yang Letian from further intrusion. But Yang Letian wasn't in a hurry, because his strange hand was already between her legs. He gently slid his fingers along the delicate lace of Xiao Hong's panties, pressing back and forth on that mysterious area. Xiao Hong's body trembled slightly, and she let out a moan that made hearts race. At the same time, her private parts became even wetter.

At this moment, Xiao Hong was panting heavily, her hands tightly gripping Yang Letian's arm. Her tightly closed thighs slowly loosened, and Yang Letian's fingers immediately seized the opportunity to slip in, lifting her wet panties, parting the soft silk slick with spring tide, and entering that beautiful and mysterious valley. Yang Letian's fingers slowly spread open Xiao Hong's burning labia, entering the tight flower path, slowly thrusting in and out, gently circling and rubbing the folds of the cave walls along the way. Honey-like fluid gushed out like a flood, completely soaking Yang Letian's hand.

Xiao Hong squirmed restlessly in Yang Letian's arms, her little bottom involuntarily thrusting in rhythm with his fingers. Yang Letian kissed her pink neck incessantly, then intensified his caresses on her breasts. Slowly, Xiao Hong's small hand, which had been covering her mouth, could no longer conceal her delicate moans. Her flushed face wrinkled with pleasure in the setting sun. Her body began to tremble violently; her little hole convulsed intensely.

"Ah..." Xiao Hong cried out softly, lost in ecstasy.

Yang Letian's fingertips remained pressed against Xiao Hong's hard clitoris, enjoying the baptism of her hot nectar. Finally, he couldn't resist any longer. He quickly pulled off his sportswear, and his hot, thick penis plunged into her warm, spring-like hole. Xiao Hong gasped for breath as Yang Letian thrust into her, her legs naturally wrapping around his waist and back, her buttocks rising and falling in response to his vigorous thrusts.

"Ugh..." Xiao Hong bit down on Yang Letian's shoulder, her body convulsing, and she climaxed again within minutes. Yang Letian bent her legs, pulled out his still-erect penis, and exposed her beautiful mound to the beautiful sunset.

"Quick...come on...Letian! I...I can't take it..." Xiao Hong cried out, disregarding her composure.

Yang Letian flipped her over and entered her beautiful vagina from behind again, becoming one with her. He rose and fell on her bare back, his hands grasping her slender hands raised above her head, their fingers tightly intertwined.

Xiao Hong was dazed by Yang Letian's penetration, panting heavily in response. She could only barely lift her buttocks to endure Yang Letian's fierce thrusts.

Finally, Yang Letian erupted once again amidst her frenzied moans, filling Xiao Hong's little hole with his love once more...
After resting for a while, the two recovered from their climax. Yang Letian gently kissed Xiao Hong's forehead and smiled, "How was it? How did it feel to make love in this world compared to before?"

Xiao Hong looked up at Yang Letian with captivating charm, her face flushed with a mixture of shyness and joy, and said, "It felt amazing! It was as if there were only the two of us in the world, as if we were Adam and Eve from the Bible."

"Hehe, you really have a vivid imagination." Yang Letian kissed her cheek again and said, "Look, it's getting late. Shouldn't we go back?"

It was already evening, and the glow of the setting sun shone on the sea, shimmering with golden light. It was indeed time to go back, but Xiao Hong still seemed a little reluctant to leave. She clung to Yang Letian's arms, unwilling to get up, and said coquettishly, "Can we sit a little longer?"

"Okay." Yang Letian thought that since he had nothing else to do, he might as well sit a little longer.

The setting sun seemed to float on the sea, casting long shadows of them in the afterglow—truly a beautiful picture! Seeing Xiao Hong's adoring gaze, Yang Letian couldn't help but ask, "You like it here so much, why didn't your husband come with you?"

"Him? He's quite good to me, but having him come here is less enjoyable than coming alone. It's not fun for either of us if he tries to act like that. In his eyes, there's only officialdom, only politics, no romance." Xiao Hong said softly.

"

Yes, a man's most important thing is his career, especially someone as high-ranking as him. He has no time or energy for romantic pursuits." Yang Letian gently patted Xiao Hong's shoulder.

“Even if he had the time and energy, he wouldn’t come here to keep me company, because, as I said, he’s not that kind of person,” Xiao Hong said calmly. “If you really dragged him here to watch the sea with you, he’d definitely touch your forehead and ask if you had a fever.”

Yang Letian knew that although she spoke calmly, it didn’t mean that the pain in her heart had already dissipated. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “People can’t live carefree in this world. There will always be more or less troubles accompanying you throughout your life, lingering and following you like a shadow.”

“What are you thinking about?” Xiao Hong asked, looking at the thoughtful Yang Letian.

“I’m thinking, is there no one in this world who is completely happy? Take you for example, you have beauty, a family, status, and wealth. You can say that you have everything that most people envy. But I see that you still seem unhappy, because your emotional life is still very barren,” Yang Letian said.

“Yes, you’re absolutely right. My emotional life is very barren; I’m unhappy! But who in this world is truly happy? Life is made up of difficulties and troubles.” Xiao Hong said, her eyes somewhat dazed.

“Hehe, your words are quite philosophical. I’ve learned something,” Yang Letian said with a grin.

"Go away, you're making fun of me!" Xiao Hong playfully punched him.

"No, it's really philosophical," Yang Letian laughed. "Besides, how could I dare to make fun of you?"

"Go away, I'm not talking to you anymore, let's go back." Saying this, Xiao Hong was about to get up when she suddenly let out a scream, "Oh! What should I do?"

Yang Letian was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Xiao Hong blushed and picked up the underwear she had just thrown aside with two fingers, holding it in front of Yang Letian, saying, "Look, how am I supposed to wear this?"

Yang Letian couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw it. It turned out that her underwear had been soaked with her own bodily fluids before she even took it off, and after being thrown on the beach, it was now covered in sand and looked completely unwearable.

"You're still laughing? This is all your doing!" Xiao Hong said, both embarrassed and angry.

Yang Letian chuckled, "How can you blame me? This wet stuff came from you, hehe!"

"Ugh, you're so annoying! You still say that? It's all your fault," Xiao Hong said reproachfully. Her face flushed like the sunset.

"Hehe, what should we do? How about I take it to the beach to wash it?" Yang Letian grinned and reached for her underwear.

"Get lost! Take off your underwear and soak it in the seawater, then see if you can still wear it!" Xiao Hong said, "Always coming up with such bad ideas." "Then

, then just don't wear them. Just wear your trousers. You won't expose yourself, don't worry," Yang Letian laughed. Xiao Hong

frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, that's the only way." Then she glared at Yang Letian and said, "It's all your fault! You insisted on doing this by the sea, under the open sky. Now look what you've done, making me look bad."

"Hehe, who told you to throw things around like that?" Yang Letian said with a mischievous grin.

"I threw it away? Who threw it away? I don't even know who pulled my underwear down just now!" Xiao Hong glared at Yang Letian and scolded, "Now you're blaming me." As she spoke, she shook her trousers and then put her feet inside.

"Hehe!" Yang Letian chuckled dryly, holding Xiao Hong's underwear, which smelled of a mature woman, in his hand. A thought struck him, and while Xiao Hong was bending over to put on her trousers, he secretly stuffed her underwear into his pocket. But just then, Xiao Hong looked up and saw what was happening. She was immediately filled with shame and panic, and exclaimed, "What are you doing? You pervert!"

Seeing that she had discovered him, Yang Letian simply pulled out the underwear he had already stuffed into his pocket, deliberately holding it up to his nose and sniffing it, saying, "Yeah, I'm a pervert, I'm super perverted, hehe, hmm, not bad, smells good!"

"You, you..." Xiao Hong was so ashamed she couldn't speak. After a while, she finally got up from the beach and said, "Give it to me now." With that, she lunged at Yang Letian.

Yang Letian laughed loudly and ran off in the other direction, with Xiao Hong chasing after him, shouting, "You pervert, you weirdo, give it back to me!"

"Hehe, I won't give it back, I want to keep it as a souvenir," Yang Letian said, waving the underwear in his hand like a flag.

The two ran, laughed, and played on the beach like two children. Yang Letian ran until he reached the path between the rocks before stopping. As soon as he stopped, Xiao Hong pounced on him from behind, grabbing his waist and panting, "I've finally caught you! Give it back to me!" She tried to snatch the underwear from his hand.

"Hehe, don't be so stingy. It's all dirty now, and you can't wear it anyway. Just give it to me, okay?" Yang Letian said with a grin.

"No! You little rascal, you pervert, give it back!" Xiao Hong blushed and reached for the underwear Yang Letian was holding up high, but unfortunately, she wasn't as tall as him. No matter how much she jumped, she couldn't reach the underwear he was holding up.

"Are you going to give it to me or not?" Seeing that she couldn't reach it, Xiao Hong stopped jumping and started stomping her feet to ask.

"Hehe, I just won't give it to you."

"Really not giving it to you?"

"Really not, ah..." Yang Letian screamed before he could finish speaking, then bent over to grab the underwear from his hand. It turned out that Xiao Hong had stomped on his foot hard when he wasn't looking, causing him to frantically bend over and rub his foot in pain.

"Hmph, serves you right for not giving it to me, hehe!" Xiao Hong said triumphantly, snatching her underwear back.

"You, you're too cruel! Ouch, that hurts so much!" Yang Letian cried out in pain.

At first, Xiao Hong didn't care much, thinking Yang Letian was just pretending. But gradually, she felt that Yang Letian wasn't faking it, and the pain on his face seemed to be getting worse. She started to panic and quickly squatted down, saying guiltily, "Ah! Letian, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on you so hard. Come on, let me see, how bad is it?" As she spoke, she gently rubbed Yang Letian's foot.

"Hehe..." Seeing Xiao Hong's anxious expression, Yang Letian couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, you tricked me again!" Seeing Yang Letian's signature smirk, Xiao Hong thought he was cheating again and became angry and annoyed, raising her hand to hit him. Seeing this, Yang Letian quickly begged for mercy, "No, I didn't lie to you, it really hurts. Do you know how heavy you are? When you stepped on me, almost all your strength was on my foot, of course it hurts!"

"Hmph, are you saying I'm fat?" Xiao Hong pretended to be angry. But her beautiful eyes shone with boundless pity and tenderness, and her hands continued to massage Yang Letian's ankle.

"Hehe, you stepped on my instep, not my ankle, why do you keep rubbing that spot?"

After Yang Letian said this, Xiao Hong realized her mistake, smiled embarrassedly, but still said defiantly, "I'm happy, I can rub it wherever I want, what's it to you?"

"Sigh! I can't even control my own feet, there's no human rights, no justice." Yang Letian said, pretending to be distressed.

"Hehe, for now, all the parts of your body are under my control, you have no right to speak." Xiao Hong looked at Yang Letian with a smile and said, "Okay, you've rubbed enough now, try to stand up and walk around."

Actually, Yang Letian didn't feel much pain at this point, but to tease Xiao Hong, he deliberately pretended to be in pain and said, "Okay, I'll try to stand up." Saying that, he slowly stood up, holding onto the stone wall.

"How is it? Can you walk?" Xiao Hong asked him nervously.

Yang Letian deliberately frowned and said, "It still hurts a little, but I should be able to walk."

"Then let me help you," Xiao Hong said, taking Yang Letian's arm.

"Hehe, no need, a kiss from you might make it better."

Xiao Hong was slightly taken aback, but then realized what he meant and feigned anger, saying, "Fine, you lied to me again, see how I deal with you!" With that, she lunged forward, wrapping her arms around Yang Letian's neck. But before her hands could even touch his neck, he grabbed them, and with a swift movement, his lips pressed tightly against hers. Xiao Hong initially struggled, but her waist and chest were firmly held by Yang Letian's strong arms, unable to move. After a short while, she completely surrendered to the fierce attack of Yang Letian's skillful tongue, her hands, which had been trying to strangle him, now tightly wrapped around his neck.

They kissed passionately for about a minute before separating, both panting. Xiao Hong gasped, "Oh my god, I almost suffocated!"

"Hehe, don't blame me if you suffocated, because you were the one who pounced on me to kiss me," Yang Letian said mischievously.

Xiao Hong blushed and scolded, "You're so annoying! I didn't want to kiss you! It was clearly you..." She glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hehe, don't glare at me! I know I was wrong. I wanted to kiss you! Your little mouth, I can never get enough of it, hee hee!" Yang Letian said, his hand brushing against Xiao Hong's blushing face.

Xiao Hong rolled her eyes at him, but the joy on her face was obvious even to a blind person. She said sweetly, "Alright, stop with the sweet talk. Let's go back quickly, look, the sun has already set."

They returned the way they came, but after getting in the car, they found it couldn't turn around. Helpless, Yang Letian had to drive backwards. Fortunately, the area was secluded, with no one around, so Yang Letian confidently drove the car backwards at a speed no less than driving forward.

Chapter 253 A Well-Planned Strategy

Once on the highway, Yang Letian asked, "How's it going? Should I take you home or somewhere else?"

"Take me home, I have a meeting at the Municipal Party Committee tonight, I can't skip it, sigh!" Xiao Hong leaned back in her seat, her eyes slightly closed.

Yang Letian then began to wonder how her talk with Wang Jiao was going, whether Xiao Hong had gotten any information from Wang Jiao about Deep Sea Health Care that could be used to make a big deal out of it. But since Xiao Hong didn't bring it up, he didn't feel comfortable asking directly, so he casually continued her sentence, "Just take a day off."

This was originally a casual remark from Yang Letian, unintentional, but as the saying goes, what is said without intention is heard with intention. Xiao Hong couldn't help but smile strangely at Yang Letian and said, "Hehe, what? Now you suddenly don't want to leave me? You haven't fallen for me, have you?"

"Hehe, I've always liked you, I think any man would like someone as beautiful as you," Yang Letian said with a laugh.

Seeing Yang Letian playing games with her, a hint of disappointment, barely perceptible to others, flickered in Xiao Hong's eyes. However, she quickly recovered and said with a grin, "You're absolutely right! I'm so beautiful, what man wouldn't like me? Humph!" She paused, then added, "Especially you, you should like me even more."

Yang Letian was confused and asked, "Why should I like you more?"

"Because you've taken advantage of me so much," Xiao Hong said, giving Yang Letian a charmingly seductive look.

"Hehe, who told me I like you? If I didn't like you, I wouldn't take advantage of you. Like that Wang Jiao, even if she asked me to take advantage of her, I wouldn't do it." Yang Letian chuckled mischievously as he moved his hand to her thigh and gently stroked it.

"Hehe, if you hadn't mentioned Wang Jiao, I almost forgot the main reason I came to see you today," Xiao Hong laughed. "But don't be so mean. No matter what, she's a girl, and you can't talk about her like that, especially since she helped you out."

Hearing Xiao Hong say this, Yang Letian was secretly pleased and quickly asked, "So you've already found out some things from Wang Jiao?"

"Yes, I've found out some things, but I don't know if they'll be useful to you. So I think it's best not to tell you for now," Xiao Hong said, playing with her fingernails.

Yang Letian knew Xiao Hong was deliberately teasing him, so he quickly changed to a flattering tone, saying, "Oh, my dear cousin, please stop teasing me! Can't you see I'm getting impatient?"

"Hehe, you're impatient? I didn't see that," Xiao Hong said with a smile. "Judging from your performance just now, you seem quite capable, as if this matter hasn't affected you at all."

Yang Letian understood her meaning, so he chuckled and said, "My dear cousin, that's because your charm is too great! Your sexy charm has completely dispelled my anxiety and depression, thus greatly diminishing my virility." "

Tch!" Xiao Hong pouted, "You're getting all worked up."

"Oh, my dear cousin, just tell me already! What did you find out from Wang Jiao? If you don't tell me, how will I know if it's useful or not?" Yang Letian said, shaking Xiao Hong's thigh as he spoke.

"Hehe, okay, okay, stop it. I was just teasing you. I'll tell you now." Xiao Hong laughed and pressed down on Yang Letian's hand, which was on her thigh.

"Okay, tell me quickly." Yang Letian put both hands on the steering wheel, no longer wanting to distract her.

At this moment, Xiao Hong reached behind her head, letting her hair down from its coiled shape, then gently swayed it a few times before slowly saying, "Yesterday, while chatting with Jiao'er, I overheard her say that her company's semi-annual report for this year has been delayed. The stock exchange and the China Securities Regulatory Commission are constantly urging her, and she, as the finance manager, is feeling a lot of pressure. She was confiding in me about it."

"Oh!" Yang Letian's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked, "Do you know why their annual report is so delayed?"

"She didn't say the specific reason," Xiao Hong said, "but I think it must be a secret of their company. It's already quite an achievement that she told me so much."

"That's true!" Yang Letian nodded.

"Is this news still useful to you?" Xiao Hong asked, looking at him.

"Yes, it's very useful! Thank you!" Yang Letian gave her a sincere smile.

Xiao Hong had gotten used to joking around with him these past few days, so seeing him suddenly with such a serious and sincere expression made her a little uncomfortable. She smiled awkwardly and said, "What are you thanking me for? I'm not entirely helping you; I'm actually helping myself too."

Yang Letian remembered that Xiao Hong had once said that if he successfully acquired Deep Sea Health, it would also benefit her. However, she didn't seem to have elaborated on it at the time, and since it was their first meeting, he didn't feel comfortable pressing her for details. But now things are different. Their relationship has improved significantly; they're no longer so polite and reserved. So Yang Letian asked, "I see you and Wang Jiao have a pretty good relationship. Why do you want her company to be acquired?" Xiao Hong

looked ahead and chuckled, "You're right. Jiao'er and I do have a good relationship, but one thing is one thing. Besides, Shenhai Health Care isn't her company; at most, she owns a small share. So even if the company is acquired by you, she won't suffer much, or rather, she won't suffer any loss at all. Therefore, I can't say I'm betraying a friend."

"That's true!" Yang Letian nodded. "But what benefits does the company bring you?"

"Hehe... not much benefit for me."

"Oh!" Yang Letian looked at her in surprise, seemingly not quite believing her.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that. I haven't finished speaking yet," Xiao Hong laughed. "Although it doesn't benefit me much, it's very beneficial for my husband."

"Oh, I see." Yang Letian nodded as if he understood.

“Yes, let me tell you the truth. Deepsea Health is a fairly well-known company in Qingyang City. The municipal government values it highly, especially Vice Mayor Han, who is in charge of industry and commerce. Deepsea Health is considered one of his achievements. Recently, there have been rumors that our mayor may be transferred, and the successor will be chosen from among the vice mayors. You should understand now.”

“Oh, I understand.” Yang Letian nodded and said, “So, does it seem that Vice Mayor Han, who is in charge of industry and commerce, is your husband’s biggest competitor?”

Xiao Hong nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, at least it seems so now. So I think if you can successfully acquire Deepsea Health, it will not only benefit you but also me. Without Deepsea Health as a capital asset, Vice Mayor Han’s competitiveness will be greatly weakened, and my husband will very likely defeat him and take the mayor’s position.”

"I didn't realize you were so concerned about your husband's political future," Yang Letian said, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Hmph, of course!" Xiao Hong tossed her head. "I'm his capable assistant, you know."

"Hehe, yes, yes, I can see that." [End of post.
