In the backseat, Tang Song glanced sideways at Liu Qingning, quietly observing her gentle profile. A mix of helplessness and relief flickered in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few days, they had gone to many places—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cantonese morning tea at Fánlóu, a movie at the theater, browsing electronics at Huaqiangbei, watching the sunset and water show at Happy Harbor,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even riding the Ferris wheel...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since he laid everything bare between them, White Moonlight’s attitude toward him had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone was the intimate closeness of before—cuddling while sleeping, kisses—those were out of the question now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, she hadn’t outright severed ties with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song knew White Moonlight well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always been intelligent, perceptive, and steadfast in her own beliefs. She knew exactly what she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she was likely not bringing up their relationship because she was trying to figure out a solution—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a way to bring things back on track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was just how she was. Whether it was a math problem or a life decision,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no matter how big the issue, her first instinct was always to analyze and resolve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tang Song knew—this time was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Mishu, Su Yu, Wen Ruan, Zhao Yaqian, Lin Muxue, Xiaojing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Moonlight had no idea just how complicated this situation really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an unsolvable equation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she was a genius, she wouldn’t be able to find the right answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car rolled to a gentle stop by the curb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning, who had been resting with her eyes closed, woke up at the driver’s voice. She politely thanked him, then lightly patted Tang Song’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, let’s go. I’m exhausted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door swung open softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow of the streetlights cast warm halos onto the pavement, illuminating the quiet street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoulder to shoulder, the two of them stepped through the entrance of their apartment complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning frowned. “Ugh, I need a shower ASAP. Shenzhen is way too humid this time of year—hot and sticky. Even my underwear is soaked through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song chuckled. “Need me to help you wash?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure,” Liu Qingning smirked playfully. “I’ll take off my clothes, and you can wash them for me. Make sure to scrub by hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song nodded eagerly. “No problem! But let’s be clear—underwear and panties included.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward her chest with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You perv, Tang Song!” Liu Qingning’s face flushed red as she pinched his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his hand move toward her in retaliation, she quickly dodged away, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their playful bickering continued all the way upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang, lounging in the living room, waved at them while munching on snacks in front of the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bought a Kirin watermelon and left half for you guys in the fridge. Super sweet and perfect for cooling off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Shuangshuang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning dropped her bag, pulled the chilled watermelon from the fridge, and plopped onto the couch with Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scooping out a bite with a spoon, she took a blissful bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cool, juicy sweetness exploded in her mouth, instantly washing away the summer heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So good.” Liu Qingning’s eyes curved into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at the tablet in front of Liu Shuang. “Why are you watchingListening to the Rain in Leisureagain? Didn’t you already finish the series?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang blinked mischievously. “Hehe, tomorrow night’s theJuxing Huicuigala. Bei Yuwei is attending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m hoping to snap a picture with her, so I’m rewatching the show to have something to talk about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the names “Bei Yuwei” and “Juxing Huicui,” Tang Song raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What gala?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang grinned. “It’s a themed banquet hosted byJuxing Huicui Investment. It’ll be atRaffles Hotel Shenzhen Bay No.1’sYunsong Music Halltomorrow night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Tang Song, guessing he might not be familiar with the company,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so she briefly explainedJuxing Huicui’s background and the investment focus of this event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, we wouldn’t normally qualify to attend, but Xiang Kai is part of the fund’s management team, so he got us invites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that I have the money to be an LP—I’m just going to fangirl over celebrities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning took another bite of watermelon and added, “After cashing out some of my shares, I was looking for a private equity firm to invest in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xiang Kai works atJuxing Huicui, it just worked out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song nodded. “I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang grinned. “Tang Song, wanna come with us? It’s the world’s highest music hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Bei Yuwei, there will be some B-list celebrities, live performances by popular singers, and plenty of high-profile guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a rare chance—good for networking too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning also glanced at him. “It’s up to you. If you’re interested, you should come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never attended an entertainment industry banquet like this before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but she knew the event was high-profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiang Kai invited her, she originally didn’t want to bring Tang Song along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was well aware of Xiang Kai’s intentions—he just wanted to dent Tang Song’s confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after spending these past few days with Tang Song, she realized she had underestimated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from turning into a complete playboy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his emotional intelligence, competence, and looks had all become impeccable. He exuded undeniable charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attending an event like this? He’d have no trouble fitting in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song didn’t hesitate. “Alright, let’s go together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently owned 15% ofXingyun International—a stake he had acquired through a deal withJuxing Huicui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This investment firm, spearheaded by Su Yu, intrigued him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there was no more reason to delay things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, Liu Qingning would officially resign fromCentury Zhixue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to talk to her aboutQingning Tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them chatted a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Liu Qingning stretched and stood up. “I’m going to shower. My whole body feels gross.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed a towel and a change of clothes from the guest room before heading into the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm water cascaded down, rinsing away the day’s sweat and fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped her face, then lifted her gaze to the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers brushed over her waist, and she let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song’s visit had completely wrecked her diet plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had indulged in way too much good food with him these past few days. Resisting had been impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, her skin had improved. The blackheads and pimples had cleared up, leaving her complexion looking much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand slowly trailed upward, cupping her ample E-cup chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint blush spread across her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least she had good genes. Even if she had gained a little weight, her figure was still stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a thorough shower, Liu Qingning slipped into fresh clothes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a simple cotton camisole and black shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effortlessly casual, yet it accentuated her curves in all the right ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning’s curves were on full display—her full chest, perky hips, and long, shapely legs. Absolutely stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After blow-drying her hair, she applied some BB cream and lip tint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning from side to side in front of the mirror, she let a sly smile curl her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wanted to win backTang Song’s heart, it was time to use a little “seduction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t nearly as innocent as she seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in front of a guy she liked, it was only natural to put on a bit of an act—to present herself in the best possible light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long known that Tang Song was attracted to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in high school, heespeciallyloved sneaking peeks at her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever she wore tight clothes, his gaze would linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they were studying together in the classroom, his arm would “accidentally” brush against hers from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never minded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of youthful tension, the blushing, the racing heartbeat—it was a precious, embarrassing memory for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after what happened at Talent Park, she now knew exactly whatTang Song’s so-called ‘rock-hard abs’actually referred to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, when he had fallen asleep, she had evenpretended to shift positions just to secretly touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory still made her cheeks burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biting her soft, plump lips, Liu Qingning opened the bathroom door and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing movement, Tang Song, who had been scrolling on his phone, looked up. His gaze froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning seemed completely oblivious. She bounced up to him, her steps light and carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bending slightly, she held out the towel in her hand and smiled sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should go take a shower too. You reek of sweat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song took in the sight of the sultryWhite Moonlightbefore him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warmth of her freshly showered body, mixed with the faint scent of body wash, filled the air around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew a little unsteady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had beentoo longsince he last indulged in anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since coming to Shenzhen, he had been stuck in “abstinence mode.”Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by noveⅼfire.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His frustration was reaching a boiling point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snap!” Liu Qingning playfully snapped her fingers in front of his face, pouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, hey! What are you staring at? Go already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song’s voice was low. “Qingning, how about we sleep together tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning chuckled. “Haha, keep dreaming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tossed the towel at him, pinched his cheek, then turned and strutted toward the master bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender waist swayed slightly with every step, her perky backside bouncing subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song exhaled a long breath and headed for the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he had held himself back out of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was reaching his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very first thing that had drawn him to Liu Qingningwas her looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always been an early bloomer. Even in elementary school, she had developed noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he happened to see her around town in middle school, she would always leave his mind wandering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time high school came around, he was completely smitten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came tobaby-faced, busty White Moonlights, he hadzeroresistance—physically or mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liu Qingning walked into the room, Liu Shuang looked up with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So... planning to share a bed withsomeoneagain tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mind your own business, kid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just saying—be safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, what are you even thinking?” Liu Qingning shot her a glare. “We’re just talking, like back when we used to lie on the school field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, sure. I totally believe you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning’s face turned red as she sat at her vanity. She applied some body lotion, then did a light touch-up on her makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Liu Shuang paused her drama and asked, “By the way, are you busy tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the morning, I need to go to the company to sign my resignation papers,” Liu Qingning said, her tone mixed with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But my salary will still be calculated until the end of the month. If they need anything from me in the meantime, I’ll still help out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had real feelings forCentury Zhixue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the team she had worked so hard with—it was bittersweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, that works out then,” Liu Shuang said. “I’m taking the afternoon off. Let’s go shopping for outfits for the gala. We need to dress to impress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, okay.” Liu Qingning nodded lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a few semi-formal outfits, but they were over a year old—somewhat outdated and no longer the best fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them discussed where to shop while browsing outfit ideas online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingning, I’m done showering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang giggled behind her hand and whispered, “Your makeup’s done. Stop pretending. Go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning lightly knocked her on the forehead, then took a deep breath, straightened her waist, and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Tang Song stood in a simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh out of the shower, he looked even more clean-cut and effortlessly handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingning’s face warmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s cooled down outside.
