Chapter 446 - 232: As Expected of Mr. Qi
Inside the lakeside villa on Black Jade Island.
The custom-made Hastens bed was a mess, a tangle of soft, fragrant bodies.
Tan Hua had even broken her usual habits, trying a full seven times.
Each time, she made sure it was fully absorbed before she went to the bathroom to wash herself clean.
By the end, even Qi Sheng was starting to feel bad for her.
He used the 200 million the System had just deposited to increase Tan Hua’s beauty score.
Tan Hua’s beauty score increased from 93 to 94.
This brought her to the peak of the "Exquisite Beauty" tier.
One more step, and she would reach the "Peerless Beauty" tier.
"Ah, it really worked!"
Tan Hua groggily got up to wash her face. When she saw in the mirror that she seemed to have become much more beautiful, she cried out in delight.
This immediately got the attention of Xu Ying and the others, who, still groggy themselves, rushed over.
"Wow, it’s true! Qianqian wasn’t lying to us!"
"I wasn’t lying! Huahua must get ’bullied’ by her man like this all the time to get these kinds of results."
"Damn you, Yinyin! I barely got any yesterday, and it’s all your fault!"
"I haven’t changed either. This must be something that accumulates over time."
Listening to her sisters’ chattering, Tan Hua couldn’t be in a better mood.
It might have been a small improvement, but it gave her a huge boost of confidence.
If she kept at it, she might actually have a chance of catching up to Qu Man.
After working up a sweat in the gym, Qi Sheng planned to head upstairs for a shower.
He saw Tan Hua and the others were awake and excitedly chattering about how to drain him dry.
Qi Sheng’s face darkened, and his lip twitched.
’These women are insane when it comes to getting more beautiful.’
They were usually terrified of him, but now they couldn’t be more proactive.
’Then again, helping them ’wash their faces’ is a lot of fun.’
’But doing it every day can get a little boring!’
Qi Sheng cleared his throat, interrupting his girlfriends’ heated discussion.
"Which of my beloved concubines is willing to massage my shoulders and scrub my back?"
"I am!"
Xu Ying was the first to rush over. Ignoring the fact that he was drenched in sweat, she grabbed him and started pulling him toward the bathroom.
"That damn Yingying, trying to keep you all to herself!"
Pei Yinyin and Liu Shiwen followed close behind, afraid their share would be too small to have any effect.
As for Tan Hua and Tang Qian, they were more composed.
’This kind of significant result can’t be instantaneous every single time.’
’Slow and steady is the most logical approach.’
...
After the meal, Qi Sheng headed to Tianfu Airport.
Not that he was running from his ravenous girlfriends.
It was because his dear Xiaobai was finally here.
Playing the part of the boyfriend-to-be, Qi Sheng arrived early with a bouquet of baby’s breath.
He stood at the arrivals gate, waiting for the little lamb who was willingly delivering herself to him.
"Brother Sheng~"
A sweet smile bloomed on Dong Bai’s face when she saw Qi Sheng waiting to greet her with a bouquet of flowers.
She happily pushed her luggage cart and ran toward the tall, handsome Qi Sheng.
"Welcome to Chengdu!"
Qi Sheng openly pulled Dong Bai into his arms, feeling her collide against him.
’Mm, she feels nice!’
"Come on, I’ll take you to the apartment first. Once you’re all settled in, I’ll show you around."
Qi Sheng pushed the suitcase with his left hand, his right hand holding Dong Bai’s small, soft one.
"Okay."
Dong Bai’s heart hammered in her chest, and she stole glances at Qi Sheng every so often.
’This is the first time he’s ever held my hand!’
[Dong Bai’s Affection +5. Current Affection: 90 (Adoration)]
Our Chairman Qi really wasn’t all talk.
When it came to an inexperienced young woman who had never been in a relationship, he was simply in a different league.
Tall, handsome, successful, considerate, and gentle.
He was the perfect template for any girl’s dream partner!
...
The Cullinan parked outside the airport was also incredibly impressive.
Many travelers couldn’t help but stare.
After all, it was a multi-million-dollar SUV.
Qi Sheng handed the suitcase to Gu Feng, then helped Dong Bai into the back seat.
As a rich girl from the Capital City herself,
Dong Bai came from a very well-off family.
Their fixed assets were easily worth over a hundred million.
This was all information that Gu Pan had passed on to Qi Sheng.
The car’s air conditioning was cool and refreshing, but Dong Bai’s little hands were still slick with nervous sweat.
Her delicate face was bright red as well.
It was because Qi Sheng kept stroking her leg, and the strange sensations it caused made Dong Bai unbearably shy.
She couldn’t even focus on what Qi Sheng was saying.
She had even fought with her family for the chance to do this internship in Chengdu.
For Dong Bai, who had been a good, obedient daughter her whole life, to do something so rebellious was unprecedented.
Even she couldn’t fool herself into believing it was just for an internship.
It was because Qi Sheng was in Chengdu that Dong Bai, for the very first time, stood up to her family.
"Boss, we’ve arrived at National Gold Mansion."
Gu Feng brought the car to a smooth stop and announced their arrival without turning his head.
"Already?"
Qi Sheng had completely lost track of time, preoccupied as he was with playing with her soft, smooth, beautiful legs.
He saw Dong Bai looking down, her expression a little shy and flustered.
Qi Sheng smiled and gently pinched her cheek.
"Come on, let’s go see your new place."
"Okay."
Dong Bai obediently got out of the car.
She didn’t even notice that Qi Sheng was still holding her hand.
Or perhaps, she was already getting used to this intimacy.
...
"Hello, Mr. Qi."
The receptionist at National Gold Mansion certainly hadn’t forgotten their former tenant.
Compared to when he first arrived in Chengdu, Qi Sheng had changed quite a bit.
He was taller and even more handsome.
And most importantly, he was much, much richer!
"Hello."
Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, leading Dong Bai by the hand to the front desk to register her.
"This is my girlfriend, Dong Bai. She’ll be staying in my apartment from now on."
"Of course. Miss Dong, could I please see your ID?"
Seeing Dong Bai’s pure and innocent aura, the female receptionist had a good guess about her age.
When she saw Dong Bai’s ID, she saw she wasn’t wrong.
"Miss Dong, Mr. Qi’s apartment is on the 17th floor."
"If you need housekeeping or any other services, you can contact the building manager at any time through the residents’ app."
The receptionist gave a slight bow and handed the ID back to Dong Bai.
"Okay, thank you."
This was the first time in Dong Bai’s life that she had left home to live in a strange city.
Fortunately, with Qi Sheng here, she didn’t have to worry about a thing.
When they arrived on the 17th floor with her suitcase,
the apartment that Qi Sheng knew so well was welcoming its third mistress.
The first two had been none other than Tan Hua and Zong Rui.
But with Zong Rui’s villa at Lushan International now renovated, and her being busy with gym renovations over in Shanghai,
she hardly ever stayed at the National Gold Mansion apartment anymore.
Qi Sheng had it cleaned out in advance, making it the perfect temporary place for Dong Bai.
The rent was only 20,000 a month.
For Qi Sheng, who was raking in over 800 million a month,
it took him just one minute to earn that much from the System.
"I rented this apartment when I first came to Chengdu. The decor and location are both pretty nice."
"If you ever get bored, the National Gold Mall is right downstairs."
"And it’s just a few minutes’ walk to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li."
An apartment with such a high monthly rent naturally had a very modern and youthful design.
A freestanding tub, a separate toilet, and a walk-in shower.
Dong Bai was thrilled by the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows.
Compared to the dorms at the Beijing Film Academy,
this apartment was paradise.
"Thank you, Brother Sheng. I love it."
Dong Bai grew excited at the thought of living here for the next year.
"Why don’t you get unpacked? I’ll take you out to eat later, and we can look around the neighborhood."
Qi Sheng walked over to the sofa and sat down, giving Dong Bai some space to unpack her personal belongings.
PHEW...
Dong Bai let out a long sigh of relief.
Just a moment ago, she had been worried he would offer to help her unpack.
Her suitcase was full of private things like bras and panties.
If Qi Sheng saw them, she would absolutely die of embarrassment.
By the time she was done, nearly half an hour had passed.
The bedding on the bed was all brand new, purchased by Qi Sheng.
He’d had someone wash, dry, and put it on in advance.
Dong Bai neatly arranged her collection of skincare bottles and jars on the vanity.
In the closet, she hung up the schoolgirl uniforms she liked to wear in private, sorting them by type.
Her everyday clothes, on the other hand, were quite normal.
T-shirts and short skirts, or long dresses.
Basically, Dong Bai loved to wear skirts and dresses.
If Qi Sheng hadn’t been there, she would have loved to take a shower.
She wanted to change into a pretty dress before going on a date with him.
"I’m all done!"
Dong Bai trotted over, glowing from the exertion of unpacking.
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose,
Qi Sheng took a tissue and gently wiped them away for her.
Faced with such an intimate gesture,
Dong Bai was shy, but she didn’t feel the slightest bit repulsed.
’Speaking of which,’ Qi Sheng thought, ’Xiaobai’s Affection is already so high.’
’A little kiss wouldn’t be going too far, right?’
Qi Sheng gently tipped up her chin with his fingers and pressed his lips against her plump, dewy ones.
"Ngh..."
Dong Bai’s eyes flew wide open. She was completely at a loss, clumsy and unsure what to do.
But looking at Qi Sheng’s handsome face, she felt an instinctive thrill of secret joy and sweetness.
Kissing was one of those things.
With a handsome man, it was a completely different experience than with an ugly one.
One was something you wanted; the other was something you endured.
Especially for a rich girl like Dong Bai.
She would never settle for a boyfriend with average looks.
And Qi Sheng’s looks were, without a doubt, top-tier.
It wasn’t just surface-level good looks; his bone structure was so superior it was enviable.
He had a physique that screamed virility; you could see the smooth lines of his muscles even through his white shirt.
A man like that, even if he were penniless,
would still have hordes of young women throwing themselves at him.
GASP...
When they finally broke apart, Dong Bai was gasping for air.
The dizzying feeling of near-suffocation began to fade.
Seeing the smile in Qi Sheng’s eyes, Dong Bai felt even more bashful and couldn’t bring herself to look at him.
"Alright, don’t be shy. Let’s go get something to eat."
Qi Sheng took her small hand, exercising his boyfriend privileges with even more confidence now.
"You’re terrible."
Dong Bai could feel how much Qi Sheng desired her.
If the time and place had been different, she was sure he would have eaten her alive.
Just as they were leaving, they ran into the building’s manager, Cheng Qi.
"Mr. Qi?"
Cheng Qi was more than a little surprised to see him.
"Housekeeper Cheng, this is my girlfriend, Dong Bai."
Qi Sheng didn’t put on any airs, greeting Cheng Qi warmly.
"A pleasure, Miss Dong. I’m Cheng Qi. If you have any questions or need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to ask."
Cheng Qi bowed respectfully; he would never dare to treat Qi Sheng as an equal.
"Okay."
Dong Bai nodded obediently, happily linking her arm with Qi Sheng’s as they walked toward the elevators.
Cheng Qi only straightened up after the elevator doors had closed.
’As expected of Mr. Qi,’ he thought. ’Even his girlfriends are of such high quality!’
Cheng Qi had personally witnessed three different women move into this apartment as its mistress.
Tan Hua, Zong Rui, and now Dong Bai—every single one was an absolute stunner.
An ordinary man would be lucky enough to bring honor to his ancestors by landing just one of them.
But for a man like Qi Sheng, he could have a different one every day of the week and not run out.
