Their lips continued to play intimately.
Zhang Xinxin took the initiative to come to him, and Li Jing had no reason to turn her away.
It was widely known that when lips touched, a man's hand would instinctively climb to the peaks; this was the inevitable result of the touch mechanism.
As tingling sensations spread from her chest, Zhang Xinxin couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, her legs going weak.
Just as she was about to fall into the abyss, Zhang Xinxin's rationality finally overcame her physiological reaction, and she forcefully broke free from his embrace.
"Our relationship can only go this far for now."
Zhang Xinxin blushed and hurriedly explained.
To be honest, she had only intended to stir Li Jing's emotions with a passionate kiss.
But unexpectedly, he went straight to hands-on, disrupting her plan.
She had intended to offer a sweet jujube to tease his heartstrings, but instead, she lost a watermelon, a huge loss indeed.
Zhang Xinxin was now both embarrassed and annoyed, while Li Jing was still savoring the moment.
So soft.
Indeed, a beauty is a beauty, truly a class above ordinary girls.
Thinking of his ex-girlfriend, she also valued his career and economic strength at the time. When it came to gold-digging, she wasn't much better than Zhang Xinxin, perhaps even inferior.
At least Zhang Xinxin doesn't harm honest people; she focuses her mind solely on chasing wealthy men.
But in terms of the experience, Zhang Xinxin can be said to surpass her.
In terms of providing emotional value, Zhang Xinxin is someone she cannot even hope to match.
Honestly speaking, after this maneuver, Li Jing couldn't help admiring Zhang Xinxin's tactics.
If it weren't for his experiences with An Tong and Wei Jia, giving him some resistance against women of this caliber.
That moment, if it had been him before, he might have been easily manipulated.
No wonder even the rich second-generation often fall into the gentle embrace of gold-diggers; it's not that other girls don't pursue them, but that gold-diggers have a better cost-performance ratio.
Apart from a few extremely gold-digging women, many at least know what they want and what posture and identity they should adopt, without pretending to be pure.
Thinking of this, honestly, Li Jing's perception of Zhang Xinxin improved a bit.
While it's still impossible for him to be with her, he no longer considers her just an ordinary gold-digger.
If she is a gold-digger, she is at least one who dares to give and knows boundaries.
To be honest, if Zhang Xinxin hadn't stopped Li Jing just now and had given her body easily.
Li Jing might not have dared to accept; women who are too casual aren't necessarily goddesses, but could be biochemical warriors.
Instead, Zhang Xinxin stopping at the right point was exactly what Li Jing wanted.
And seeing Li Jing looking unsatisfied, Zhang Xinxin couldn't help feeling a bit vexed, annoyed at herself for losing out.
Clearly, she hadn't gotten anything yet, but had let him take advantage of her significantly.
Thinking of this, she said sulkily, "I lost out, so I have to stay here today to collect some interest."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing instead laughed and said indifferently, "Of course you can, there are just three bedrooms here, choose whichever you like. Of course, you can also stay in the same room with me, I won't mind."
"Dream on!"
Zhang Xinxin instinctively glared at him but soon felt her reaction was a bit excessive, quickly sneaking a glance at Li Jing's expression.
Seeing that her playful rebuke did not offend Li Jing, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a touch of joy.
If it had been her yesterday, she would never dare to treat Li Jing like this, only pandering with "Brother Jing" and flattering him, afraid to show even a trace of her emotions.
Having experienced the recent incident, though she had lost somewhat, her relationship with Li Jing took a step forward, bringing Zhang Xinxin some unexpected joy, feeling her plan still worked.
Thinking of this, she regained confidence immediately, sneaking a glance at Li Jing, feeling proud:
Let you take a small advantage first, see how I, the young lady, will capture you later!
Noticing Zhang Xinxin's sarcastic smile, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling she seemed a bit oblivious, being happy despite losing out, wasn't that naive.
But it's good, he might not be able to manage overly intelligent women, having a woman like this around wouldn't cause big problems.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Just when the two thought the matter had passed, a cough came from outside the door, prompting them to quickly turn their heads.
Seeing the housekeeper walking in with a blush, respectfully saying to Li Jing, "Mr. Li, I've finished watching what you told me to. Is there anything you need me to do?"
Li Jing: "????"
Zhang Xinxin: "!!!"
"Li Jing!!"
After a brief moment of confusion, Zhang Xinxin quickly reacted, her face turning crimson, unable to help but shout "pervert" at Li Jing, then sprinting to the bedroom, looking embarrassed beyond words.
Only then did Li Jing remember that he had previously called the butler, and he suddenly realized, pretending to be calm, "Well, as long as you've seen it... that's it, no other matters, you can go back."
"Is that all?"
The butler was first puzzled, then thought he understood, and immediately said, "I get it, it turns out I'm just a part of Mr. Li's play, don't need to do anything else, I'll leave now."
"Yeah, right... hey? No, no, what play? Are you...?"
Seeing the other person had already left after closing the door, Li Jing's mouth twitched:
Damn, why do I feel... my honest and handsome image is gradually collapsing.
...
A moment later, seeing Zhang Xinxin still hadn't come out of the room, Li Jing couldn't help but knock on the bedroom door and call out, "Are you okay?"
"..."
There was no response from inside.
Li Jing patiently said again, "It's just a misunderstanding, don't worry, I'm not that perverted..."
"Really?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door immediately opened, revealing Zhang Xinxin's small head.
It seemed that she had been hiding behind the door, waiting for Li Jing to take the initiative to knock and explain.
If Li Jing hadn't come, she probably would have waited until evening before coming out.
This girl, setting up so many schemes, is she treating me like a boss to conquer?
Li Jing was too lazy to deal with her little schemes and instead said, "I'm going out later, are you coming?"
Seeing that Li Jing had no intention of comforting her, Zhang Xinxin pouted, feeling inexplicably aggrieved, and turned her head, "I'm still not in a good mood..."
"Then forget it."
Li Jing turned around to leave, "I thought women like you would be interested in Wanlong City, so I was going to ask you along..."
"Wanlong City?!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xinxin's eyes lit up and she instantly slipped out of the room, appearing in front of Li Jing, excitedly saying, "You're going shopping at Wanlong City again?!"
Last time, Li Jing bought luxury brands at Wanlong City and even gave An Tong a set.
This was important information that Zhang Xinxin had pried out from An Tong's mouth with great difficulty.
Hearing he was going again, Zhang Xinxin immediately got excited, "I want to go too!!"
"Weren't you just not going?" Li Jing glanced at her.
"Good brother~ little sister was wrong."
Zhang Xinxin immediately said in a coquettish voice, hugging his arm and swaying it, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Li Jing wasn't really angry, just said plainly, "I'm planning to buy myself a few more sets of clothes to change into, not planning to buy for you, are you sure you still want to go?"
Actually, Li Jing said this deliberately to see Zhang Xinxin's reaction.
After all, Zhang Xinxin approached him to extract money from him.
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment indeed flashed in Zhang Xinxin's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and nodded confidently, "Of course I'll go, even if you don't buy me anything. I can help you match outfits. My fashion sense is no worse than An Tong's!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinxin didn't seize the opportunity to ask for anything, Li Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, and couldn't help but regard her a bit more highly.
Looks like this person knows her limits.
If Zhang Xinxin had started acting coquettish and making demands, Li Jing wouldn't have given in and would have kicked her aside early on.
Because that would show she couldn't suppress her desires, eager to extract benefits from Li Jing immediately.
Li Jing had no fondness for such short-sighted women with many demands because you never know how much of a bottomless pit they could be.
...
Once Li Jing and Zhang Xinxin had changed clothes, they were ready to go out.
During this time, Zhang Xinxin, fearing Li Jing would wait for her, used her fastest makeup and dressing skills, and fortunately only needed to touch up her previous smudged makeup. She successfully appeared by Li Jing's side before he was ready to leave.
Seeing her behave so sensibly, Li Jing nodded quietly, allowing her to hook her arm through his and walk out of the room.
However, what Li Jing didn't know was that, although Zhang Xinxin seemed sensible and knowing her limits in the main aspects, she had her little tricks in the details.
For example, she intentionally changed her jacket, with style and color specifically matched to Li Jing's outfit, to make them look more like a couple.
And the lipstick mark on Li Jing's mouth, Zhang Xinxin deliberately didn't remind him to wipe it off.
She proudly walked through the corridor, clinging to Li Jing's arm, secretly delighted:
This way, I can subtly announce my claim to those around us.
Hehe, Li Jing doesn't know about these details, but I've achieved my goal perfectly.
I'm really a little genius!
