Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Exposing Xu Qianli’s Past!

"Ah, no, you can’t kiss me!"

Just as she was about to have her lips sealed and her first kiss stolen by Xu Qianli, Si Yating quickly voiced her refusal, tilting her face away, avoiding it, allowing only a kiss on her cheek by Xu Qianli.

Xu Qianli was stunned, gazing foolishly at Si Yating. It was clear that she had willingly snuggled into his embrace, so why was she being so coy about a kiss?

You’re deliberately playing with me.

In a soft voice, Si Yating said, "I just wanted to relive the feeling of that day; it’s not like I have any particular thoughts about you, so don’t get the wrong idea. Drive the car, please drive, hurry up and drive, I want to relive the feeling of that day!"

Si Yating kept urging Xu Qianli to drive, and he finally understood; surely this beautiful woman had fallen for the intimate actions they shared under the threat of robbers that day, dreaming about it ever since.

He hadn’t forgotten the taste of that day either, with a gun pointed at them, their lives hanging by a thread, and a top-notch beauty seated in his arms; the bumps along the mountain roads were something he would never forget in his lifetime.

Understanding Si Yating’s thoughts, Xu Qianli quickly started the car, left the main road, and drove onto a mountain trail.

As the car jostled along the mountain path, Si Yating gradually slumped into Xu Qianli’s arms, staring intently at him without letting go.

Soon, Si Yating took the initiative to pull his hand to her chest, but except for this, she firmly prohibited any other actions from Xu Qianli, especially pulling at her skirt; absolutely not allowed!

And so, Xu Qianli spent a long time driving Si Yating through the mountain gullies until night fell, finally emerging from the mountain road and bringing her back to the town.

When the car stopped, Si Yating straightened her clothes, moved out of Xu Qianli’s embrace, and hurriedly got out of the car.

Before parting, Si Yating said with a blush and in a coy voice, "Thank you so much for today, but don’t get me wrong, oh, I don’t have the slightest intention of moving forward with you, I just purely enjoy riding in your car. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll ride in your car again, goodbye."

After dropping those words, Si Yating turned and ran, quickly making her way back home.

Once home, she put everything aside, rushed into her room, and darted into the bathroom for a shower.

The cool water poured over her body, yet it couldn’t extinguish the intensely burning flame within her.

Reflecting on her recent interactions with Xu Qianli, Si Yating inwardly cursed herself for being crazy.

She was a big girl who had never even had a boyfriend, and today she had shamelessly snuggled into a man’s arms, letting him drive her through the mountains.

Though they hadn’t actually done anything, the intimacy from the jostling along the mountain roads was so close it was embarrassing to speak of.

Hate it, hate it, how did I become so shameless?

It’s all the fault of those damned robbers; were it not for them forcing Xu Qianli to drive and making her sit in his embrace, she would never have an unforgettable experience that made her yearn for his embrace.

Right, it’s all the fault of those robbers, good riddance to them!

After finally finishing the shower and changing into pajamas, Si Yating’s stomach growled with hunger. She went to the living room and saw her father Si Cheng sitting on the couch, watching the news.

Upon seeing her, Si Cheng said, "Xiaoya, I heard you spent an entire afternoon with Secretary Xu today. What do you think of him?"

"He’s pretty bad."

The words slipped out, and Si Yating suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly corrected herself.

"He’s pretty domineering, and quite capable. Someone like that, Deputy Town Chief Lin probably can’t deal with him at all."

Si Cheng said, "So you think that in his conflict with Lin Feng, he’s sure to win?"

Si Yating drew closer upon hearing this and hugged Si Cheng’s neck, shaking it.

"Dad, no matter what you think, Secretary Xu saved my life, and I even ran to tell him this afternoon that you’ve always been on his side. No matter what, you cannot cast your lot with that damn Deputy Town Chief Lin against him."

"Otherwise, I’ll no longer recognize you as my dad!"

"I mean what I say, don’t doubt it!"

Si Cheng gave a slight smile in response.

"Your old man here never said he would side with Lin Feng against Secretary Xu."

"Although I’m getting on in years, I’m not foolish. I can see the gap between the two men."

"Lin Feng is just a second-generation heir, relying on his background to be formidable; how could he be a match for Secretary Xu, the tiger?"

"The only thing to worry about is Lin Feng’s cousin; she is no kind soul. I hope Secretary Xu can handle her."

...

Wild Game Villa was brightly lit up as Lin Feng hosted a banquet there for a group of cadres, including the town chief of Qingshan Town, Fan Wenbin.

Today’s meal was no mere local game from Qingshan Town; they were treated to top-tier wagyu beef, Australian lobsters, king crabs, bluefin tuna, and the like, all air-flown in. Moreover, they freely drank expensive wines costing tens to hundreds of thousands per bottle.

The guests were thoroughly enjoying their meal, exclaiming how satisfying it was.

Fan Wenbin was also eating happily, secretly thinking that this was indeed the life.

After having their fill of food and drink, Lin Monong pulled Fan Wenbin aside.

"Deputy Chief Fan, how was the meal today, to your satisfaction?"

Fan Wenbin laughed heartily, "Miss Lin must be joking. With such fine food and wine, who wouldn’t be satisfied? My deepest thanks to Miss Lin and Young Master Lin for your generous hospitality."

Lin Monong spoke with a smile, "I’m glad you’re satisfied, Deputy Chief Fan. I’ve long heard of your reputation. Someone of your caliber being just the town chief, it’s really too humble a position. Do you have any interest in climbing higher? If you do, I would be more than happy to lend you a helping hand."

Fan Wenbin said, "Miss Lin is making fun of me. Being able to become the town chief of Qingshan Town is already more than I could ask for. How could I dare to hope for more?"

"That’s not really how you feel, is it? In the officialdom, who doesn’t want to progress, who doesn’t want to take a step up?"

"Especially for young and promising officials like Deputy Chief Fan."

"I previously sent someone to relay a message to Deputy Chief Fan with an offer. How have you considered it?"

Lin Monong’s smile was full of anticipation as she awaited Fan Wenbin’s answer. Having set her sights on recruiting him personally, she knew very well that to thoroughly sideline Xu Qianli, she needed to secure Fan Wenbin first.

Faced with Lin Monong’s recruitment, Fan Wenbin lowered his voice, "I’m truly grateful for Miss Lin’s appreciation, but I dare not make an enemy of Xu Qianli."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Is a mere small-town Party Secretary really that intimidating?"

"It’s more than just a bit intimidating; his background is extremely frightening."

Looking around like a thief to make sure no one was eavesdropping, Fan Wenbin cautiously covered his mouth and whispered, "That guy, Xu Qianli, is the son-in-law of the Asian Investment Queen, Wei Fang!"
