Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 639 - 434: Going Abroad (2)

"No way!" An Tong's almond-shaped eyes widened as she broke free from his hand, causing the pleats of her A-line short skirt to flip enticingly, revealing a section of her alabaster waist.

She kneeled on the carpet in her crooked long boots, picking up his cufflink that had rolled onto the floor, and urgently said, "You're going away this time and don't know when you'll be back. I must see you off."

The sunlight slanted through the window into the living room, gilding the corners of her reddened eyes, and the kiss marks on her collarbone shimmered with her rapid breathing.

Seeing her determined attitude, Li Jing felt helpless and no longer tried to persuade her, gazing at her back as she rushed into the bathroom, he leaned back on the sofa reminiscing their earlier intimacy.

An Tong was not only extraordinarily beautiful and exquisitely shaped but what was rare was her attentiveness, taking care of his life and work in detailed precision.

Thinking of how she took care of herself recently while also helping to care for Zhang Xinxin, it was truly exhausting.

Li Jing picked up his phone and without hesitation transferred five hundred thousand dollars to her bank card.

This was both a few months' pay in advance and his recompense for her affection.

He's never been stingy with people he cares about, and this sum was enough for An Tong to live comfortably for months after he left.

Half an hour later, An Tong folded the last shirt into the suitcase, the sound of the zipper snapping shut crisp and decisive.

Her long hair was once again styled into an elegant updo, though the concealer on her neck still faintly revealed a hint of redness.

Her grip on the steering wheel was tighter than usual, and each second ticking on the car clock felt like a drumbeat.

Li Jing gazed at her tightly pursed lips and focused profile, a warm current surging in his heart.

Over the years, he had long understood that whatever task he entrusted to An Tong, she would always strive to do her best.

At the airport, the electronic screen in the lobby flickered with flight information, An Tong tucked the boarding pass into Li Jing's jacket pocket, gently smoothing the wrinkles on his collar.

"Remember to keep your coat with you; the air conditioning in the cabin is cold."

She softly reminded him, her dangling hair brushing past the back of his hand, "Let me know when you arrive; the cold medicine is in the second layer of your suitcase. If you eat anything cold..."

Due to An Tong's outstanding appearance and her intimate gestures with Li Jing, several suited men around couldn't help but glance repeatedly.

Someone whispered to his companion, "This girlfriend is really too attentive," and another couldn't take his eyes off An Tong's graceful waistline outlined by her coat.

Li Jing looked at her reddened eyes and hesitant expression, feeling a sudden restlessness.

He reached out and clasped her delicate nape, and amid An Tong's surprised gasp, he lowered his head and kissed those chattering lips.

An Tong first stiffened, then immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, all the unspoken reluctance turning into a lingering embrace.

Time slipped away quietly within their kiss, and not until the third boarding call did they reluctantly part.

An Tong's lips shone moistly, her cheeks a rosy red like clouds, eyes still holding reluctance.

Li Jing smiled and patted the top of her head, then turned and pulled his suitcase, heading towards the security check.

After checking his documents, Li Jing waved his hand in further farewell, only to see An Tong still standing in place, her coat hem lifted by the draught, her face filled with reluctance.

Li Jing didn't want to be overly sentimental, waved his hand once more, and then turned to enter the security check.

Until his figure completely disappeared in the crowd, An Tong raised her hand to cover her flushed cheeks, stood there stunned for a long time, before leaving with hesitant steps.

Li Jing lightly tapped the electronic door of the business class special passage, and the moment the sensor door slid open quietly, flight attendants in champagne-colored uniforms gracefully approached.

"Mr. Li, your seat is ready with hot towels and a special beverage."

The sweet smile accompanied by the perfectly curved bow spared him the hassle of queuing in the regular passage. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As he walked towards his seat on the thick camel-colored carpet, his peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of An Tong outside the terminal's floor-to-ceiling window, continuously waving, her white cashmere scarf fluttering in the cold wind.

Initially, he had secretly hoped Wei Jia's figure might appear among the crowd.

But as he looked at the empty receiving area, leaning against the leather seat, he shook his head and chuckled, he should have anticipated it.

During their meeting last week, Wei Jia leaned against the sofa, her feigned aloofness still vivid in memory: "Sending someone off at the airport? I don't have time for that, don't hope for my company."

When she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the ceiling light, as if intentionally drawing a boundary.

Reflecting on it, Li Jing had long understood Wei Jia's temper; this woman, who made waves in the business circle, always hid her emotions deeply.

When the company faced trouble before, everyone panicked, but she remained calm in the conference room wearing her suit, even her pacing carried a sense of pressure.

She's not accustomed to displaying vulnerability or reluctance openly, even if she truly cares, she'd choose to silently keep it to herself.

On the other hand, An Tong was completely different; she would quietly place the warm red sugar ginger tea beside him when he was busy, and stay overnight to care for him when he felt unwell, softly humming a tune while holding his hand.

Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at himself.

Men are visual animals, Wei Jia's face once privately rated by Bai Rui as "the most aggressive face" is indeed beautiful enough to make it hard to look away.

Especially when she leaned down to explain her plans, the faintly visible collarbones and fair skin would always heat up Li Jing's blood.

But when it comes to everyday life, An Tong's gentleness and attentiveness are what truly give comfort.

"Perhaps, as those women say, I'm indeed a complete playboy."

Li Jing pinched the bridge of his nose, unlocked his phone intending to browse the news for a while, knowing full well he was greedy for different kinds of tenderness.

With An Tong, he enjoyed being taken care of wholeheartedly; with Wei Jia, he's fascinated by the cool and strong sensation.

This vacillation between cozy warmth and stimulating thrills was also bound to earn the scorn of being called a "jerk" by women.

Then, as the screen lit up, a sudden WeChat notification sounded, and in the dialogue box marked "Wei Jia," lay a simple eight-character message: Safe travels, take care on the road.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, somewhat surprised yet not, then quickly typed on the keyboard: "I thought Manager Wei had long forgotten about me completely."

The almost immediate reply carried a familiar hint of gunpowder, first with three angry emojis, followed by a voice message.

Li Jing opened it, Wei Jia's clear voice wrapped in the sound of files flipping in the background: "Stop being cheeky. This is a high-end travel customization expert I got from a friend."

Along with the message came a series of phone numbers and detailed remarks, "Centuries-old machiya in Kyoto, private Michelin chef, helicopter island tour; as long as you're willing to pay, he can arrange it all. I've personally checked the background and business capabilities; it's far better than wandering aimlessly."

Looking at this information, Li Jing couldn't help but recall a short while ago when he casually mentioned wanting to experience the hot spring inns in Japan.

At the time, Wei Jia was working and barely glanced his way, only replying offhandedly, "I'll ask someone."

He thought she was just brushing him off casually, considering she had an important project at hand.

Yet now, faced with these resourceful details, he suddenly realized that this woman, forever professing "work first," exerted effort for his offhand comment amidst her busyness.

With Wei Jia's working capability, she must have thoroughly investigated the counterpart's background, the company behind them, even past client reviews before recommending it to him.

"Seems the ice queen has a gentle side like water too?"

He deliberately sent a teasing emoji, "Suggest President Wei consider changing careers to become Tianluo Girl, sure to captivate countless straight men."

This time the reply was slower; after nearly two minutes, what popped up was a long string of pounding emojis, followed by a gritted voice message: "Li Jing, say one more wrong thing and I'll block and delete you!"

The cabin announcement timely sounded a safety reminder, as Li Jing watched the gradually closing window blind, unable to suppress the smile at his lips.

Before switching his phone to airplane mode, he sent a final comforting emoji.

As the city lights outside the porthole turned into scattered stars, he leaned against the window closing his eyes to rest, her voice, slightly annoyed, seemed to linger in his ears, along with An Tong's moist farewell reminders, slowly leading him into slumber.
