Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 32 I'll Trust You This Once, Miss Shen

Shen Guining clenched her fists, and after a moment, she confessed, "Mr. Qu, I don't want to go back to Hong Kong... The Shen family wants me to marry into an alliance, but I don't want to marry someone I don't like, so I came to Beijing alone."

Even if she didn't say anything, Mr. Qu could easily find out the truth with a simple investigation.

Qu Yanci looked into her eyes and asked bluntly, "You want me to help you?"

His gaze was piercing, his sharpness striking directly at me.

Shen Guining felt uneasy, and her tone was pleading, "Is it okay?"

Qu Yanci narrowed his cold eyes slightly, "So you said you like me..."

Shen Guining instinctively denied it, her pupils dilating slightly, "No! It has nothing to do with this."

Qu Yanci stared at her intently. "How can you prove it?"

Shen Guining was taken aback. How could she prove it to him?

After standing there for a long time, she slowly took a step forward and approached Qu Yanci.

He sat there casually, his face expressionless, just watching quietly.

Shen Guining pressed her knees against the edge of the sofa, raised her right leg, knelt on one knee, reached out to hold his shoulder, leaned in, and kissed his lips, pressing them tightly together.

She was at a loss for what to do next, a look of bewilderment flashing in her eyes.

Just as she was about to leave, a strong and muscular arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, encircling her and pressing its muscles tightly against her waist.

Even through two layers of clothing, it still felt scorching hot.

With a slight exertion, Qu Yanci caused Shen Guining to fall onto his lap, her slippers dropping to the ground.

The girl gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around the man's neck. Beneath her buttocks were strong thigh muscles, exuding a powerful presence.

She had never sat on a man's lap before, and felt extremely uncomfortable, her cheeks flushed red.

Her innocent yet alluring face didn't match her awkward movements at all.

Qu Yanci's eyes darkened, and his breathing became slightly erratic. "This is the only move you know?"

Shen Guining lowered her head and remained silent; she couldn't think of any other way to prove it.

The same tricks will do, as long as they work.

But she wasn't sure.

A man as experienced as Mr. Qu has seen all kinds of women; he might not be so easily hooked.

Aside from her pretty face and ability to dance classical dance, she doesn't seem to have any other merits and can't compare to those shrewd, capable, intellectual, and elegant mature women.

"What are you thinking about?" Qu Yanci pinched her chin and lifted it up.

Shen Guining's thoughts were interrupted. "It's nothing."

As their eyes met, she opened her mouth, "Mr. Qu, you will help me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the last syllable was swallowed up.

Qu Yanci lowered his head and kissed him, forceful and domineering.

Shen Guining was stunned, feeling the unfamiliar aura encroaching upon her, completely at a loss for how to react, her fingertips gripping the shirt tightly in her hand.

My breath was being suffocated, inch by inch, and I was about to suffocate.

The man finally released her, his large hand gently stroking her back. "Breathless."

Shen Guining leaned against his chest, breathing heavily, like a fish out of oxygen.

Qu Yanci raised his hand and wiped away the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.

The little girl looked like she had been bullied terribly; her lips were rosy, her eyes were slightly moist, and her breathing was a little rapid.

Having no experience with this, she was too embarrassed to look up.

A deep, husky, magnetic voice sounded above her: "I'll trust you this once, Miss Shen."

Shen Guining's heart trembled violently, as if a heavy weight was pressing down on it, filling her with a sense of guilt.

From the moment she deliberately approached Mr. Qu, she was a scheming and wicked woman.

Mr. Qu, I'm sorry. Once he loses interest in her, she will obediently leave and won't bother him.

The little girl remained silent. Qu Yanci touched her face. "Were you frightened?"

Shen Guining snapped out of her reverie and said softly, "No."

After the kiss, her voice became even softer, like it had been soaked in sugar water.

Qu Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed. "The Shen family won't bother you anymore. I'll handle it."

Having received his promise, Shen Guining finally smiled, setting aside her other complicated emotions, and hugged his neck tightly, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qu."

After hugging for a while, the little girl belatedly realized what was happening and let go of her hand in embarrassment, saying, "I accidentally got some medicine on your collar."

Qu Yanci didn't mind, "I'm going to change my clothes."

"Okay." Shen Guining quickly got off him and put on her slippers.

The blush on her face had not yet faded, and she felt warm and burning.

Qu Yanci got up and went back to his bedroom.

Shen Guining bit her burning lower lip and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thinking back to that kiss, it was so deep, I couldn't resist it at all.

Ten minutes later, Qu Yanci came out wearing a different set of clothes, returning to her usual aloof and dignified appearance.

If it weren't for the lingering traces of tenderness in the air, Shen Guining would have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Qu Yanci fastened his cufflinks, glanced at his watch, and said, "I have other business to attend to at my company."

I hadn't finished my work yet, but I was still worried when I heard about her accident, so I came over.

Shen Guining nodded in response, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Before leaving, he instructed, "Apply the ointment again yourself."

After Qu Yanci left, Shen Guining fanned herself with her hand to cool down the heat on her face.
-
Shen Yue was taken to the police station and was reportedly detained for a day before being bailed out.

The eldest daughter of the prestigious Shen family was in a state of utter disarray upon entering the police station for the first time.

She was furious, wondering how Shen Guining managed to climb up to the Qu family and get President Qu to protect her.

Can you seduce someone just because of their face?
If the Qu family really gets involved, they won't be able to explain it to the Zhou family.

Mrs. Shen, who was far away on Hong Kong Island, was worried all night and only felt at ease when her daughter came out of the police station.

News came from Beijing that Shen Guining had personally sent Shen Yue to the police station. Tang Hui was furious. "What a traitor we raised! We treated her so well, providing her with the best food, clothes, and everything else, and in the end, she repaid kindness with such treachery by sending her own cousin to the police station!"

Shen Honglin sat on the sofa, smoking with a livid face, his complexion as black as charcoal.

There was a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray.

The servants dared not approach and risk offending them, so they kept their distance.

My phone rang at an inopportune moment; it was an unfamiliar number from Beijing.

Shen Honglin frowned and answered the phone.

The person on the other end introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Han Yi, the special assistant to the president of Dingsheng Group."

Shen Honglin was stunned.

Dingsheng Group? Is that the leading company with the highest market capitalization in the country?
"Our CEO, Mr. Qu, would like to discuss a collaboration with you," Han Yi said, getting straight to the point.

Shen Honglin couldn't believe the Qu family would come knocking on his door, and asked with a hint of disbelief, "What kind of cooperation?"

Han Yi stated frankly: "New energy vehicle project."

Shen Honglin suppressed his shock and asked him for confirmation, "Are you really Mr. Qu's special assistant?"

Dingsheng Group, the top-tier wealthy family in Beijing's elite circle, is a place many people would try their best to reach but can't. Why would they take the initiative to seek cooperation with them? It's like a pie falling from the sky.

“Of course,” Han Yi continued, “but our CEO Qu has conditions.”

Shen Honglin said earnestly, "What are the conditions? I will do my best to fulfill them!"
