Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Give Me Three Years, I Will Ascend to the Ninth Heaven and Turn into a Golden Dragon!

Die for love?

Xu Qianli cradled Chu Qingyu’s delicate face.

"Qingyu, listen to me."

"If you really want to die with me, I can accompany you!"

"But if you even trust me a little, then give me a chance!"

"Just give me five years, no, three years is enough, I want your Chu Family to not refuse our being together!"

"Three years later, I, Xu Qianli, will transform into a golden dragon soaring to the skies!"

Xu Qianli had made up his mind, if he was to climb up, he would use all his power.

He had made a bet with Bai Yanran that if he became the Secretary of Jiang City County within three years, Bai Yanran would become his woman.

There were also Ding Meixin and Zi Yumo, each the precious daughters from Ye Family and Zi Family, powerful families on par with the Chu Family.

As long as he could marry them by that time, with Ye Family, Zi Family, and Bai Family behind him, even the Chu Family would not dare underestimate him, thus allowing Chu Qingyu to come to his side, which would not be difficult.

Of course, all this was predicated on Chu Qingyu trusting him and being willing to give him three years!

Faced with Xu Qianli’s proposition, Chu Qingyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly gave Xu Qianli the brightest smile.

"You are my man, Qingyu, I believe everything you say. I trust you, and it’s not just three or five years, I am willing to wait for you forever."

"Xu Qianli, it’s so good to see you again, I want you to love me, I want you to love me like you did back then!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Chu Qingyu, burning with passion, pushed Xu Qianli forcefully, making him fall backward to the ground.

The next second, Chu Qingyu threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms, entangled with him in intense passion.

Having longed for Xu Qianli over the years, she was more passionate than any other woman he had met, her kisses falling like raindrops, her hands deftly removing obstructive clothes...

...

Zhao Mei had had quite a bit to drink at the banquet hall and really didn’t want any more, so she slipped away quietly, randomly found a corridor, and didn’t mind the "under repair" sign and just went in.

Walking along, she suddenly heard some unusual noises.

Turning the corner at the end, Zhao Mei’s eyes lit up.

My God, there was a man and a woman in the midst of something very intense, the woman being incredibly proactive and enthusiastic.

She cursed silently: Shameless! As a woman, should one ever be like that, as if she hasn’t seen a man in eight lifetimes.

Pah! Definitely a loose woman!

But upon closer look, Zhao Mei was dumbfounded.

My God, that woman, she was the focus of this banquet, the prized daughter of the Chu Family from Beijing!

Others might not know who Chu Qingyu was, but Zhao Mei knew very well.

She had once worked in Beijing and knew in detail about the elite families there.

Chu Qingyu, not just born into affluence but also celebrated for her outstanding talents and her stunning beauty and attractive figure, had always been one of the most beautiful jewels in the top circles of Beijing.

Such a woman, enveloped in all sorts of admirable auras, was always the center of attention wherever she went.

But she, being cold and aloof, rejected all suitors, even the most elite young heirs of wealthy families, she held them in scorn, proud as a phoenix perched on a parasol tree.

Why, today of all days, did she come to Zhongzhou City and, on her way to a banquet, sneak off to this secluded spot for a private meeting with a man?

Who could the man be who managed to capture this little princess, turning a woman as aloof as a phoenix into someone within his grasp?

Watching intently, Zhao Mei finally saw clearly what man it was, and she was stunned.

My God, it was Xu Qianli!

How could it be him?

With his status and position, how could he possibly match a woman like Chu Qingyu?

He was just a department-level cadre in Jiang City, insignificant as a sesame seed. He was not welcomed in Jiang City and had been suppressed by Zhang Kuisan and Lan Qianrong.

What right did such a man have to win Chu Qingyu?

Could it be that his background was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and was in fact inscrutable?

Zhao Mei had long heard that many powerful families in Beijing secretly sent their descendants to gain experience in local places, to temper their character in preparation for the future.

Could this guy actually be from a top-tier powerful family in Beijing, and had come to Jiang City merely to temper his character?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Mei’s heart rate instantly accelerated, considering various possibilities, including the potential benefits of associating with Xu Qianli.

As time ticked by, Zhao Mei eventually found herself feeling increasingly unwell; her mature body was burning hot.

She and her husband were both in politics; because spouses could not hold high positions in the same place, they had been living apart for over ten years.

In the first two years of living apart, they were eager to meet, managing to see each other once a month.

Later, as time passed and both their positions and age advanced, the days between their meetings grew longer, and in recent years they only saw each other at New Year’s, seldom even making a phone call; having a husband was no different from not having one.

Zhao Mei had long taken a detached view of marital affairs, focusing wholeheartedly on her career.

But today, watching Xu Qianli and Chu Qingyu getting along passionately, her heart raced, her body burned, and she felt uneasy everywhere.

Fearing that she would lose control if she continued watching, Zhao Mei turned and walked back.

She left, but Xu Qianli’s strong body, handsome face, and his wolfish presence lingered in her mind, unforgettable.

Returning to the banquet hall, Zhao Mei continued to drink and toast with others, but she kept deliberately observing the corridor marked with a maintenance sign.

After a long wait, she finally saw two figures emerge from there, one after the other, a minute apart; it was Xu Qianli and Chu Qingyu.

They acted as if nothing had happened, tidily dressed, and did not approach each other after coming back, but Zhao Mei could clearly see them exchanging looks occasionally.

She even saw that from the way Chu Qingyu looked at Xu Qianli, there was a deep love!

Heaven, she wasn’t just physically together with Xu Qianli; she was deeply in love with him!

Zhao Mei grew even more certain of Xu Qianli’s extraordinary status, and that she had made a fortune by becoming Ge Pingping’s sworn sister through Xu Qianli’s arrangement.

She resolved to make good use of this connection and to perhaps leverage his help for her own advancement.

Settling on her plan, suddenly somebody approached her.

"Minister Zhao, hello, I’m Zeng Changyun from Jiang City County Government. My father-in-law was from the City Organization Department; you ought to know him. I specifically came here to discuss an issue with you."

"Our County Party Secretary, Ge Changhong, just because Xu Qianli is his son-in-law, improperly favored him, and the promotions he granted Xu Qianli were totally irregular."
