CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 277: NIGHT INVITATION_2

Seeing the other party almost sticking to his face, the middle-aged man was so frightened that he retreated several steps, raised his hand to point at the other party, while retreating to the side, still trying to put on a harsh tone:

"Alright, alright, you’re impressive, don’t let me see you again next time..."

"What if you see us again next time?"

Ah Liang’s face darkened, ready to make a move, scaring the other two to quickly turn around and run away.

Watching the two hurriedly flee, Li Jing finally smiled, stepped forward and said, "Thanks to the two brothers."

Upon hearing this, Ah Liang and Xiaolong immediately replied kindly, "Just a small matter, if Brother Shun and Brother Jun were here, those two would probably not dare to utter a word."

"President Li, thank you..."

At this moment, Huang Lili’s gentle voice came from the side.

Li Jing glanced at her state and saw that she was clearly drunk, frowned slightly, "You can’t go back like this, let me take you back."

Then, Li Jing helped her into the car.

As the car started back on the road, Li Jing was about to ask Huang Lili for her home address, but found that she had already leaned her head against the car window, asleep.

Seeing this, Li Jing shook his head helplessly and said to Ah Liang in the driver’s seat, "Continue driving to my house."

"Okay."

Ah Liang responded without asking much, stepped on the gas pedal, and continued along the original navigation on Tianhai’s wide night roads.

...

"What a big house."

"It’s very expensive here, right?"

Ah Liang and Xiaolong helped Huang Lili into Li Jing’s home and were surprised by Li Jing’s luxury home.

"It’s okay, around a hundred thousand per square meter."

Li Jing smiled and poured out two glasses of water, which they quickly accepted with both hands respectfully, expressing their thanks.

Seeing Huang Lili and Li Jing safely home, Ah Liang quickly finished his water and sensibly said, "Brother Jing, then we won’t disturb your rest, we’ll leave first."

With that, Ah Liang nudged Xiaolong, who was still marveling at Li Jing’s luxurious room, and immediately turned around to leave.

After closing the door for Li Jing and entering the elevator, Ah Liang took a breath of relief and remarked on the decor within the elevator:

"This is truly a wealthy man’s mansion, the elevator is so high-end."

Xiaolong nodded in agreement, full of envy, "When do you think we will ever live in a place like this?"

"You’re overthinking it, I’d be satisfied just buying an ordinary house in Tianhai, and you’re dreaming of buying this?"

Ah Liang shook his head and then remarked, "But I feel Brother Jing is a good person, if he recognizes us, maybe we’ll have a chance to change our lives."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolong agreed, "Right, wasn’t Brother Jun just an ordinary coach like us before, he’s completely different now.

Brother Jing is indeed righteous, helping Brother Jun so much. If Brother Jing needs anything, I guarantee I’ll be the first to step up."

Seeing his manner, Ah Liang couldn’t help but laugh.

Although they knew that the chances of Li Jing helping them change their lives were slim, it still brought a sliver of hope for a better life, even if this hope might never be realized.

After walking out of the community, they waited in the cold night wind for a while before catching a nearby online car service and hurrying away.

Watching the luxury housing complex gradually disappear from view, Ah Liang rubbed his face, reddened by the cold wind on the roadside just now, and looked around the much simpler interior of the online car service compared to Li Jing’s sports car, feeling complicated and full of emotion:

This is truly our ordinary life...

...

The night stars were sparse.

The cold breeze silently howled outside the window, as if peeking at the late-night story inside.

In the living room, the luxurious crystal chandelier emitted soft, yellow light, like a thin veil.

Huang Lili lay on her side on the soft sofa, her long legs crossed, forming enchanting curves.

Her face glowed faintly under the light, her blush from the wine still shone on her cheeks.

After a while, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, slowly opening her eyes, and furrowing her eyebrows as she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with confusion.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, the exquisite high-end crystal chandeliers, the decorations with classical garden style, and the costly plush carpet...

All these exquisite interior arrangements dazzled her, waking her up instantly, as if realizing something, she suddenly sat up, then quickly checked her clothing.

Seeing that her clothes hadn’t been tampered with, she breathed a sigh of relief but felt even more puzzled, slowly standing up to carefully look around...

Where is this...

Could it be those two men’s home?

Their home is so luxurious?

No, impossible.

No, I was later taken by President Li...

"Awake already?"

At this moment, Li Jing, wearing a bathrobe, came out of the shower room, startled, looking at Huang Lili on the sofa with surprise, and said with a smile: "I thought you’d sleep until morning, and was wondering whether to put you in bed."

"Li, President Li?!"

Seeing that familiar handsome face, Huang Lili relaxed but immediately exclaimed, "Is this... your home?"

"What else?"

Li Jing smiled faintly, picked up a hairdryer nearby, and started drying his damp hair.

And Huang Lili, after trying to recall, finally remembered her memory before passing out drunk, blinked, and softly and uncertainly asked: "President Li, did you help me? What about those two people..."

"Those two are already scared and ran away, it’s fine now."

Li Jing shook his hair, which was almost dry, and curiously asked: "Why were you drinking so much alone? Where’s your boyfriend? Should I call a car to take you back?"

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Lili paused, her expression changed slightly, her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head to softly answer: "I’ve already broken up."

"Broken up?"

Li Jing was surprised, then continued drying his hair: "Was it your decision?"

"Yes."

Huang Lili nodded, looked at him again, and said gratefully: "After listening to your words last time, I realized continuing that relationship would only make both of us worse, so I took the initiative to break up.

There were arguments during the process, but it’s completely resolved now."

Glancing at her complicated expression, Li Jing put down the hairdryer, picked up a glass of red wine he had poured earlier and walked over, handing her a bottle of milk, with a smile: "Then congratulations on returning to single life."

"Congratulations?"

Huang Lili was stunned, her eyes moved slightly, understanding his meaning, she also tried to smile a little, picked up the milk and clinked glasses with him: "Yes, this is indeed a good thing worthy of congratulations for me."

Li Jing sat on the sofa, his loose bathrobe faintly revealing the muscular contour of his chest, and smiled faintly:

"Breakups and reconciliations between couples are normal, since it’s already done, there’s no need to be emotionally trapped in this matter. You have to look forward, as life must go on."

Looking at his handsome young face, Huang Lili felt moved inside and couldn’t help but ask: "Then what about you, President Li, are you single or have a girlfriend?"

Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her and smiled: "I’m neither single nor have a fixed girlfriend."

With these words, Huang Lili was stunned, then understood his meaning, with some changes in her expression.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled, without further explanation, but glanced at her long legs and praised: "You are very beautiful, if you are willing to spend the night with me tonight, I’d be delighted.

If you don’t want to, I won’t force you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Lili blushed instantly and stammered, unable to speak, not expecting him to be so direct.

This was her first time encountering such a scene, since leaving school, she had been with her boyfriend, and hardly interacted privately with other men.

Even though she and her boyfriend had been sleeping separately for years, she still insisted on not having any ambiguous relations with other men.

She maintained principles with male clients, especially those middle-aged greasy ones, she kept a considerable distance.

However, when facing Li Jing, Huang Lili couldn’t deny his unique charm.

Young, successful, gentle, high-quality, each is an attractive trait to women.

But if it’s just a physical exchange without feelings, she still found it hard to accept.

Seeing through her inner thoughts, Li Jing didn’t insist.

Compared to princesses in the commercial field who’ve been developed by countless men, even if Huang Lili once had a boyfriend, she remains as pure as a white rose.

So Li Jing maintained enough tolerance and patience for such women, smiling faintly: "You can sleep in that room, I will sleep in the master bedroom.

If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime, but only tonight."

After saying this, Li Jing turned and returned to his room, leaving Huang Lili sitting on the sofa, dazed, with a conflicted and chaotic mind.
