Chapter 176: Chapter 176 The Arrangement is Complete, Time to Close the Net!

In the best suite of the best hotel in Jiang City, Xu Qianli and Ji Xiaomeng were locked in an intense and passionate struggle, sweat pouring from their bodies.

He was well aware that he shouldn’t have touched Ji Xiaomeng, a woman with a stunningly beautiful figure, let alone possess her, yet the deed was done, and he couldn’t afford to care about anything else.

"Live for today, get drunk today," he thought. Everything else, even if the sky were to fall down, could wait until later.

Suddenly, he heard Ji Xiaomeng whimper and plead with him to stop. Xu Qianli cracked a slight smile. My beauty, some things once started cannot be easily stopped.

The room was filled with intoxicating sounds, and Ji Xiaomeng was like a small boat in the turbulent waves, helplessly adrift, pushed to the crest of towering waves, again and again...

The next morning.

Xu Qianli and Ji Xiaomeng woke up almost simultaneously.

Their eyes met, and both instinctively avoided the other’s gaze and looked elsewhere.

Xu Qianli suddenly noticed blood stains on the bed and quickly turned his gaze back to Ji Xiaomeng.

"Did you give me your first time?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaomeng glared at him irritably and retorted huffily, "Did I seem like I’ve been touched by a man before yesterday?"

Xu Qianli said, "So it’s true then, Xiaomeng, impressive. At your age, you’re still a virgin, and I was the one to benefit. I don’t even know what to say to you."

"What do you mean ’at your age’?"

"Just like you, I’m not even thirty yet, okay!"

"So, you think I’m old, you prefer eighteen-year-old girls?"

"Xu Qianli, you sure know how to have a good time. Is your girlfriend really eighteen?"

Ji Xiaomeng fired off questions rapid-fire, still fuming over that "at your age" comment.

Hmph, I’m not even thirty yet, my skin is still smooth, I’m still pretty and glamorous, and my figure is fantastic. How could I seem old in Xu Qianli’s eyes?

Xu Qianli said, "Sorry, sorry, that’s not what I meant. I don’t think you’re old. As for my girlfriend, she’s quite young, just turned twenty this year."

"Wow, several years younger than you, you’re really going for the younger ones, huh?"

"No wonder you’re not into me. You really are quite the lady-killer, I must admit."

"Hmm, is your girlfriend pretty? Prettier than me? Does she have a better figure, a bigger chest?"

Ji Xiaomeng purposefully thrust out her already ample chest, hands on hips, head held high, waiting for Xu Qianli’s response.

Seeing Ji Xiaomeng’s posture, Xu Qianli swallowed hard and let out a mischievous smile before pouncing on her.

"Ah, stop it!"

"You’re annoying, really, you can’t do this, I’m scared of you!"

"Mmm..."

The poor bed frame was put to the test once more, as Ji Xiaomeng’s voice, hoarse from last night’s cries, began to emanate enchanting sounds again.

After a while, Ji Xiaomeng lay trembling in Xu Qianli’s arms, her eyes full of tenderness, gazing at him unblinkingly, speaking in a soft, sultry voice.

"Hey, Xu Qianli, I have something to tell you."

"Last night, I just got carried away; it’s not like I still have feelings for you."

"Can we pretend like nothing happened, okay?"

Pretend like nothing happened?

Xu Qianli said, "Do you think that’s possible? After all, I’m your first man. For all we know, you may already be carrying my child. Can we just act like nothing happened?"

A child?

Ji Xiaomeng’s heart skipped a beat. "What if I really am pregnant?"

Xu Qianli said, "If you are, we’ll have the baby. I like children."

"Are you saying... you want to marry me?"

"You’ll break up with your girlfriend and then marry me, Ji Xiaomeng?"

Ji Xiaomeng’s eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, glaring directly at Xu Qianli.

Xu Qianli shook his head slightly.

"My relationship with her is very good, and I will never break up with her for any woman, but I can take you as a concubine."

"Of course, that’s if you’re willing."

"Ah..."

As Xu Qianli was speaking, he suddenly let out a horrible yell, because Ji Xiaomeng had pinched him fiercely somewhere, causing heart-piercing pain.

"Xu Qianli, you bastard!"

"Meeting you was a mistake!"

"You’d better forget what happened last night, let’s pretend nothing ever occurred between us, and never see each other again."

"Also, don’t expect me to have your child. If I do, the child won’t take your surname!"

After snapping these words angrily, Ji Xiaomeng, carrying her weary body, hurriedly dressed herself. Not even having time to put on her shoes, she picked them up and ran.

Before she left, she shot Xu Qianli an even more furious glare.

"Go to hell!"

Bang...

She slammed the door shut, and Ji Xiaomeng’s stunning figure disappeared.

Xu Qianli, who had just been hit where it hurts, didn’t recover for quite a while. Ji Xiaomeng was already gone without a trace, and any attempt to stop her was futile.

With her gone, Xu Qianli had no choice but to get over it. Once he regained his composure, he took a bath, got dressed, and went to check out.

When he reached the front desk, the cashier handed over a set of keys.

"Mr. Xu, this key was left for you by the lady who stayed in the room with you."

"She also asked me to pass on a few words to you. She said you performed so-so last night, passably enough for her to be moderately satisfied, so she’s rewarding you with this car."

"She also said, go die, she never wants to see you again, ever. Really truly ever, for a lifetime!"

The cashier, a young girl, blushed as she spoke, casting a strange look at Xu Qianli as if he were the type of man who pleases wealthy women.

Xu Qianli felt uncomfortable under her gaze, unsure whether to explain or not. He simply grabbed the keys and bolted, fleeing the hotel as if he were flying.

Quickly getting into a large SUV, Xu Qianli thought to himself that Ji Xiaomeng was really generous to gift him a car worth millions simply because she knew he liked it.

While her intention was good, the car was too valuable and conspicuous for him.

On second thought, so what if it was flashy? Even when he tried to be discreet, he had still been plotted against, targeted, and even attacked. It was time to go all out!

Xu Qianli decided to drive straight to the County Government to go to work.

The car was so large it took up two parking spaces.

As soon as Xu Qianli stepped out, he became the brightest spot in the eyes of the County Government staff arriving for work that morning.

Some envied him, some cursed under their breath, certain he must have taken bribes to afford it, and others were curious how he dared to be so ostentatious.

Unconcerned with their stares, Xu Qianli went straight to his office.

After closing the door behind him, he made several phone calls to Wu Kai, Ge Changhong, and Teng Ziyin to touch base.

Having laid out his plans for so long, everything was ready; it was time to close the net.

As soon as Xu Qianli finished his calls, he received one from Sun Yan, informing him that Zhang Kuisan, Zeng Changyun, and Ding Biao were planning to make a move that very morning at the upcoming executive meeting, targeting both him and Lan Qianrong.

Armed with this information, Xu Qianli chuckled to himself. He was about to strike, yet Zhang Kuisan and the rest were already too impatient and seeking trouble on their own.

Good, he thought, let’s see on whose head the stag falls at the executive meeting!

Today, only one between him, Xu Qianli, and Zhang Kuisan, could remain!
