Chapter 278 Mindset Shift
Under the deep night sky.
Lili sat alone on the luxurious and soft sofa, her long legs tilted on the edge of the seat.
At this moment, she was extremely conflicted. After pondering for a long time, she finally took out a slip of paper, wrote down a note, and was ready to leave alone.
But as she just reached the door, she stopped, thinking of their heart-to-heart talk on the yacht, and that he had just saved her. Leaving without a word seemed too much.
Could she really do those things with him...
With a tight grip on the door handle, her delicate and beautiful face was full of complex emotions.
Compared to her boyfriend, Li Jing was far more outstanding.
So exceptional that Lili felt even spending a night with him wouldn't be a loss.
Thinking of this, Lili's heart, which was set on leaving, began to waver again.
She looked down at her own body, which indeed surpassed most girls'.
Along with her deliberate maintenance, her figure and skin were much better than her peers'.
And because the feelings with her boyfriend had long disappeared, only remaining due to obligation and responsibility, she hadn't done those things in a long time.
Even when her boyfriend expressed his desires before, she found various reasons to refuse.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but facing her big baby of a boyfriend, she felt no interest, no urge, even holding hands felt awkward, like taking care of a child.
But after meeting Li Jing on the yacht, she had to admit she was attracted to his demeanor.
Whether it was Li Jing's financial prowess, his clean and handsome appearance, or his gentle and elegant discourse, all silently moved her heart.
And that's why that day on the yacht, she couldn't help but open her arms to him, standing together on the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.
At that moment, she felt her long-dormant heart come alive again.
But in essence, she was still a well-behaved and conservative woman, so standing with Li Jing on the deck was her limit.
The constraints of morality and her self-values clearly reminded her that she was a woman with a boyfriend, even if that boyfriend was practically non-existent.
Now, she was finally single, once again meeting Li Jing, it was impossible not to feel surprise and joy.
Yet the self-imposed moral restraints in her heart still prevented her from opening up to Li Jing, especially since he had no intention of emotionally investing in her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh at herself.
Recalling her glorious school days, adored by countless boys, to the current state she was in, she once more experienced the difficulty and coldness of society.
She glanced at the slightly ajar master bedroom door, her expression complex, her delicate eyes filled with changing emotions, her palm gripping and releasing, releasing and gripping again.
Finally, she took a deep breath, tore the note she had left on the table into pieces, and threw it into the trash can.
She couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
This was the first thing she realized.
Next, she slowly got up, deciding that no matter what, she needed to wash off the smell of alcohol.
This was the second thing she decided.
In the bathroom, warm water continually splashed against her face.
Countless streams of water slid like brook water across her curvy body.
Uncontrollably, Li Jing's image surfaced in her mind again, and her long-sealed heart gently unlocked, an impulse not felt for a long time gradually spread from within.
Slowly raising her hand, she ran it over her body feeling every touch, her legs tightened, eyes closed in enjoyment, subconsciously conjuring Li Jing's image in her mind.
Shortly after, with a faint moan, her tense body seemed to completely relax under the water's flow.
Feeling the hot water cascading down, her eyes were blurred, her inner warmth showing no signs of abating. Instead, this self-release felt like a floodgate opened, completely unrestrained.
Years of pent-up emotional desires, once the barrier was breached, reached the peak of yearning for release.
She took a deep breath, washed her body clean anew, then casually wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom.
Looking at the door to the slightly ajar master bedroom, she finally took a step forward, gently pushed it open, and walked inside.
The master bedroom was grand, with not only a luxurious large bed and wardrobe but also an independent desk and spacious bay window.
At this time, Li Jing was at the desk, flipping through something, unaware that the slightly ajar bedroom door had been opened.
Upon seeing this, Lili tiptoed closer, her bare white feet making no sound.
Only when she neared Li Jing did she notice he was reviewing some printed material, detailing plans and operational strategies for a gym location.
Was President Li planning to open a gym?
This thought only flashed through Lili's mind briefly before her gaze was drawn to his broad shoulders.
Compared to fitness athletes, Li Jing's physique wasn't particularly striking. But compared to the average person, or to Lili's ex-boyfriend, Li Jing's physique was already outstanding enough.
Seeing the shallow lines of his chest muscles beneath the open collar of his pajama top, Lili's cheeks only felt hotter, as the beast of desire within her continued to devour what little reason she had left.
Compared to her ex-boyfriend, he surpassed in every possible aspect overwhelmingly.
This noticeable advantage and contrast finally led Lili to let go of her last bit of hesitation, suppressing her inner excitement, she gently wrapped her arms around Li Jing's back from behind.
Feeling the softness from behind, Li Jing was momentarily stunned.
