Chapter 472 258: Liu Rong's Gratitude

Because Tang Guo had taken a nap, she wasn't sleepy at all.

Liu Rong waited for an hour, watching Tang Guo completely engrossed in her cartoons.

She gave Mrs. Liu a look and prepared to sneak away.

"Mommy, are you going to find Uncle?"

Tang Guo immediately noticed Liu Rong's subtle movements and came pattering over to hug her leg.

"Be a good girl, Guoguo. Stay home and play with Grandma."

Liu Rong crouched down and ruffled her daughter's hair.

"Okay, you can go then, Mommy."

Tang Guo was a little reluctant, but she was a sensible child and let go of Liu Rong.

"Good girl. Mommy will bring you back a toy tomorrow."

Liu Rong was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected to get away so easily.

"Mommy, is Uncle really going to be Guoguo's daddy?"

Tang Guo tilted her head back, her face full of anticipation.

"Of course. Guoguo is so cute, and Uncle likes you very much too."

Thinking about the conversation her daughter had with Qi Sheng earlier, Liu Rong couldn't help but blush.

It was all Qi Sheng's fault for being so improper, discussing with Tang Guo whether she'd prefer a little brother or a little sister in the future.

Tang Guo, however, was quite greedy; she wanted both a little brother and a little sister.

"Hee hee, Guoguo likes Uncle too!"

Tang Guo was satisfied now and went back to the sofa to watch her cartoons.

Liu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and tightened her grip on her purse.

Inside were a few small articles of clothing—a surprise she had prepared for Qi Sheng.

...

Shengxuan Financial Center, Banyan Tree Hotel.

It had just opened recently, but its average occupancy rate had already reached 80%.

This was thanks to the reputation of the Shanghai Banyan Tree Hotel.

This Banyan Tree in Chengdu was doing excellent business.

The general manager, Li Ai, who had been brought in from elsewhere, also had extensive management experience.

Liu Rong rode in the hotel's dedicated car for the presidential suite, an extended-wheelbase Phantom, the same model used by the Shanghai Banyan Tree Hotel.

"Good evening, Ms. Liu."

Li Ai was inspecting the lobby when he happened to see Liu Rong walk hastily into the hotel, wrapped in a blue overcoat and wearing a pair of white high heels.

"Ah, hello."

Liu Rong recognized Li Ai as well and nodded a little awkwardly.

"This way, please. The boss is waiting for you in the suite on the top floor."

Li Ai didn't stare and dutifully led the way.

Normally, this wasn't a task that a hotel general manager like him needed to do personally.

But Liu Rong's status was different. She was his boss's woman.

Good service wouldn't necessarily earn him praise.

But bad service would certainly kill any hope of promotion.

...

Once inside the elevator, Liu Rong let out a long sigh of relief.

When the elevator arrived at the 47th floor, where the presidential suite was located...

Liu Rong felt an inexplicable sense of urgency and anticipation.

Stepping out of the elevator lobby, she could see two bodyguards standing guard at the entrance to the presidential suite.

"Ma'am."

Upon seeing Liu Rong, the two bodyguards quickly lowered their heads in greeting.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Rong smiled, nodded, and pushed the door open to enter.

After closing the door, Liu Rong finally dared to take off her overcoat.

Her outfit underneath was absolutely incendiary.

A small white camisole, stretched to its limits by her magnificent bust.

Below her gray, hip-hugging skirt, her two beautiful legs were snugly encased in high-end, matching-colored stockings.

The white, pointed-toe high heels had an effect that would absolutely give a massive boost to her attack speed.

She had the face of a top-tier beauty, complemented by a sizzling D-cup figure.

Her figure was curvaceous, with ample flesh in all the right places.

She looked like a sensual beauty who had just stepped out of an 18th-century oil painting.

Her features were gorgeous, full of alluring charm.

Liu Rong was like a seductive enchantress, capable of making any man's blood boil at a moment's notice.

Qi Sheng, who had just finished a bath, came out of the bathroom to see Liu Rong in this fiery attire.

Even though they were like an old married couple, Liu Rong still found it hard to withstand Qi Sheng's scorching gaze.

There was a piercing quality to Qi Sheng's eyes that made her feel self-conscious all over.

"Honey..."

Liu Rong was a bit shy, but she still took the initiative to walk toward Qi Sheng.

After all, Qi Sheng had behaved so well today, playing the role of a father almost perfectly.

She remembered how Qi Sheng had agreed to be Tang Guo's father over the phone.

Liu Rong felt a little uneasy, wondering if Qi Sheng had only said it to placate Tang Guo.

But before she had a chance to ask, Qi Sheng swept her up by the waist and carried her toward the master bedroom.

On the Hastens mattress, Liu Rong couldn't be bothered to ask any more questions.

Returning Qi Sheng's kiss, Liu Rong wished she could show him all the passion her body held.

...

While they were lost in their passionate lovemaking...

Inside a Highlander parked near the hotel.

Tang Xu's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with tearing fury.

He had been waiting downstairs from Liu Rong's apartment, just hoping for a chance to speak with her alone.

But he never would have imagined that his ex-wife, dressed so sensually, would get into a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Being picked up by such a luxury car late at night, his ex-wife was clearly going to a private rendezvous with her sugar daddy.

While Tang Xu felt aggrieved, he also felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

He thought about how Qi Sheng and Liu Rong had looked like a divine couple during the day, yet at night, Liu Rong was meeting secretly with another sugar daddy.

The frustration Tang Xu had bottled up all day finally eased a little.

'At least I wasn't scammed out of much money by Liu Rong.'

But his satisfaction only lasted until he reached the hotel entrance.

Because after the Phantom stopped, the person who got out of the driver's seat was a familiar-looking bodyguard in black.

It was none other than Gu Feng, the man who had been by Qi Sheng's side during the day.

At this, Tang Xu was completely dumbfounded.

'His ex-wife, dressed to kill, coming to a hotel to find Qi Sheng late at night.'

'What would happen next? Did anything even need to be said?'

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Tang Xu felt that Liu Rong was even more beautiful than before.

Even her figure was more voluptuous and alluring.

But no matter how tempting she was, it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

It was September in Chengdu, and the weather was still sweltering.

But for Tang Xu, it felt as cold as the dead of winter.

...

Liu Rong lay weak and pliant in the crook of Qi Sheng's arm.

Her lovely cheeks were flushed fiery red, her face a rosy crimson.

"Honey, were you serious before when you promised to be Guoguo's dad?"

Liu Rong's heart was pounding with anxiety as she asked the question.

"Well, do you want it to be true?"

Qi Sheng asked with a smile, his hands toying with her breasts.

"You're awful, just tell me."

Liu Rong snuggled against Qi Sheng's chest reproachfully, nearly reigniting his passion.

But right now, Liu Rong couldn't be bothered with the danger.

If Qi Sheng didn't give her a straight answer, she wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

"I will do my best to treat Guoguo as if she were my own daughter."

Qi Sheng stopped teasing Liu Rong and, under her expectant gaze, slowly made his promise.

"Thank you, honey!"

Liu Rong knew Qi Sheng's personality very well.

Since he said he would treat Tang Guo as his own, he would definitely do it.

"Just a verbal thank you?"

"Then lie back and don't move."

Liu Rong picked up a hair tie and pulled her long hair back into a ponytail.

She made full use of her proudest assets, giving Qi Sheng the ultimate pleasure of being enveloped.

These were all things she had learned from Tang Qian.

But Tang Qian didn't have her advantages. Now, they were being put to good use.

Qi Sheng closed his eyes to enjoy it, occasionally reaching out to gently stroke Liu Rong's cheek.

He thought about the message Gu Feng had sent him earlier—Tang Xu was keeping watch right outside the hotel.

This made Qi Sheng feel even more stimulated, and he kept Liu Rong busy until dawn.

Only then did he wrap his arms around Liu Rong's full, soft body and fall into a deep sleep.

...

When Liu Rong opened her eyes, her whole body was sore and weak.

Only Qi Sheng could make her feel this way.

"You're awake?"

Qi Sheng walked over with a smile, twisting open a bottle of mineral water and handing it to her.

"Thank you, honey."

Liu Rong managed to sit up, propped a pillow against the headboard, and drank, GULP, GULP.

A beauty is a beauty; even the sight of her drinking water was pleasing to the eye.

"Honey, I can't walk. Can you carry me to the shower?"

Liu Rong saw Qi Sheng's fiery gaze.

Her originally fair skin was instantly tinged with a pink blush.

She knew she was practically seducing Qi Sheng.

But being "bullied" by Qi Sheng was its own kind of bliss.

'She could normally only dream of opportunities like this to be alone with him.'

"My pleasure."

Qi Sheng lifted Liu Rong's two perfectly rounded, beautiful legs.

On their full, snow-white expanse, faint red marks and even teeth marks were visible.

"Why are you taking off your clothes..."

Seeing how mesmerized Qi Sheng was by her body, Liu Rong couldn't help but feel a secret delight.

'If the day ever came when Qi Sheng lost interest in her, she'd die of depression.'

When they emerged from the bathroom, Liu Rong was being carried by Qi Sheng.

Her slender, lily-white arms, as tender as lotus roots, were wrapped softly around Qi Sheng's neck as she snuggled coquettishly in his embrace.

The two had a sumptuous lunch before leaving the hotel, talking and laughing.

Not far from the hotel, Tang Xu had spent the entire night in his car.

He was unshaven and his eyes were full of broken blood vessels.

He saw his ex-wife, radiating charm, walk out of the Banyan Tree Hotel with her arm linked through the young villain's.

He didn't need to think to know that she had been thoroughly "nourished" by Qi Sheng.

Just the thought of it made Tang Xu so envious his Jill turned purple.

Tang Xu didn't dare to delay and quickly started the car.

He tailed the Cullinan from a safe distance.

'No wonder his ex-wife was so determined to be with that young villain.'

'Even if he were in Liu Rong's shoes, he would never abandon a top-tier, rich, and handsome man like that...'

'...for a gambler like him, who was up to his eyeballs in debt.'

But people are like that. As long as there's a sliver of hope, they can't help but cling to it.

'What if Qi Sheng was just playing around with Liu Rong? Maybe he'd get tired of her and kick her to the curb.'

'Then, he could swoop in with his "warm and caring guy" persona and win back his ex-wife's heart.'

'Not only would all his gambling debts be easily paid off...'

'...he'd also get to sleep with his increasingly gorgeous and sexy ex-wife.'

Just the thought of it made Tang Xu's mood bubble with delight.

The exhaustion from his all-nighter seemed to vanish completely.

"Huh?"

Tang Xu followed the Cullinan and saw it drive into an extremely high-end residential district.

The guard at the gate simply walked up, asked a couple of questions, and then respectfully let them pass.

Tang Xu panicked and quickly parked his car on the side of the road.

He jogged to the gate, only to see the taillights of the Cullinan disappearing into the underground garage.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The gate guard saw Tang Xu's slovenly appearance.

He was clearly not a resident of the district, and his tone was very rude.

"I... I'm here to see a friend."

Tang Xu made it up on the spot, pulling out the last two Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket.

"Go on, get out of here. The residents of our Hejing Yufeng District don't have scruffy-looking friends like you. Scram."

The guard waved his hand impatiently, sneering mockingly without a hint of politeness.

'Fuck your mother! Just you wait, when I buy a house here one day, we'll see if you still dare to look down on people!'

Tang Xu fumed silently as he slunk back to his car.

Now his only hope was that Liu Rong would manage to squeeze more money out of that young villain.

Otherwise, how would he ever be able to slap that snobbish guard in the face?
