At the Pinnacle of Power: The Female Leader and Her Chief Advisor

"What do you mean?"

Li looked puzzled.

Lu Ming explained, "Chairman Qian is only guessing that Mayor Song left something behind, but he doesn't know what it is. So doesn't that give us room to maneuver?"

Li Wen's eyes lit up at first, then she frowned and shook her head: "No, no."

"What's wrong?"

"If Chairman Qian finds out I lied to him, I'm doomed!"

Although Li Wen likes money, she wouldn't risk her life for it.

Doing so is too risky, and besides, she already has ten million, there's no need for her to risk another five hundred... no, two and a half million.

Lu Ming continued to coax, "If you didn't tell, and I didn't tell, how would he have found out?"

"Besides, even if he finds out, you'll already have the money and left Songxi. Where will he find you then?"

Li Wen thought about it and agreed, but then a thought struck her: "That's possible, but I have to take four million of the five million!"

She felt that all the risks were on her side, so it was only natural for her to take more.

Lu Ming's lips twitched. This wretched woman certainly had quite an appetite.

He was about to agree, but then worried that agreeing too readily would arouse her suspicion.

So he bargained, saying, "Four million is too much, three million at most."

Unexpectedly, Li Wen was adamant: "No, it has to be four million. If you agree, we'll do it; if not, forget it!"

When it comes to money, Li Wen's attitude is quite firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Three million two hundred thousand!"

Li Wen picked up her bag, stood up from the bed, and said to Lu Ming, "I'll only concede this much: three and a half million!"

Judging from Li Wen's attitude, if Lu Ming didn't agree, she really would turn around and leave.

Lu Ming pretended to grit his teeth and said, "Fine, three and a half million it is!"

Seeing that Lu Ming agreed, Li Wen smiled happily, then said arrogantly, "Besides me giving you 3.5 million, you have to promise me one more thing."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, feeling that Li Wen was being a bit too forward.

Tell me about it.

"Give me what I want!"

"What the heck?"

"I said, I want you to satisfy me."

Then, Li Wen threw her bag onto the table next to her, started unbuttoning her pants, took them off, and threw them aside.

She then pulled her already low-cut neckline down even further, straddled Lu Ming, and brought her red lips close to his.

Just as Li Wen was about to kiss him, Lu Ming had a sudden inspiration and said, "Take a shower first."

"I didn't realize you liked wet beauties."

Li Wen did not refuse Lu Ming's suggestion to take a shower. In her opinion, Lu Ming needed her now and would definitely not run away.

She quickly kissed Lu Ming on the lips, then deliberately licked her tongue. In front of Lu Ming, she took off her top, then untied her black lace bra behind her back and playfully threw it at Lu Ming's head.

Lu Ming feigned an embarrassed expression, which caused Li Wen to let out a burst of silvery laughter, and her proud figure bounced up and down.

"She's gone to take a shower, so don't barge in like a madman."

Li Wen gave Lu Ming another flirtatious wink, then swayed her hips as she went into the bathroom.

As soon as she went inside, Lu Ming threw off her bra and started rummaging through her bag.

Lu Ming quickly found the key.

He put the keys in his pocket and prepared to leave.

Just as I reached the bathroom door, it suddenly opened.

Li Wen, soaking wet, chuckled as she looked at Lu Ming, who happened to be standing at the door.

"Hmph, I knew you couldn't wait!"

Then, she reached out and grabbed Lu Ming, pulling him into the bathroom.

As Lu Ming shook off her hand, he said, "Um, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenqiu's expression changed instantly.

"Lu Ming, what exactly do you mean?"

I stripped naked and presented myself to you, and you tell me you have something to say?

This is so insulting!

Just as Li Wen was about to explode, Lu Ming reacted quickly and explained, "Xu Zhipeng suddenly called me and said he wanted to see me!"

Li Wen asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"How could it be fake?"

"Then show me your call log."

Lu Ming: ? ? ?

No, when did this woman develop a brain?

Seeing Lu Ming's obvious surprise, Li Wen angrily exclaimed, "Lu Ming, you lied to me?!"

"I... um..."

"I've been so proactive, and you're acting all coy, making excuses and delaying things. Do you really think you're some kind of hot commodity?"

"You, a worthless secretary nobody wants, really think you're good enough for me?"

"If you don't want to, then get out of here!"

"Don't even think about asking me to help you scam Mr. Qian. I already have ten million in my hands, and I'm going to take the money and run away now."

"As for you, you can continue being your down-on-your-luck secretary!"

Lu Ming cannot afford to collapse yet, so he must stabilize Li Wen.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward to embrace Li Wen's delicate body.

Then reach in...

This action made Li Wen's body tremble.

Lu Ming gently explained as he played with it.

"Yes, I did lie to you just now."

"But... I also have my own difficulties."

"You are Mayor Song's wife. Mayor Song has been kind to me and helped me a lot. I... I can't get over it in my heart."

Li Wen was already exhausted and leaned against Lu Ming's chest. After hearing Lu Ming's reason, her previous dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

"You're right, I was indeed Song Chuhe's wife before, but now, I am—I'm a widow!"

"And since you're not married, don't feel any pressure."

"No one can criticize us for doing this."

"Once you've enjoyed their company, you'll definitely crave more. They'll treat you so well that you won't want to leave."

Li Wen's fair hand slid down Lu Ming's strong chest.

Once again, Li Wen's heart fluttered at Lu Ming's exaggerated words: "I've never met anyone as well-endowed as you before, so you'd better be gentle with me later."

Li Wen's small hands were soft and delicate; just a couple of gentle touches brought Lu Ming indescribable comfort.

It's not that Lu Ming is weak-willed. Any man would show respect if a beautiful woman like Li Wen threw herself into his arms and offered herself to him.

Lu Ming lowered his head slightly, and his imposing figure instantly came into view.

Its surface was as white as jade, trembling slightly, and even faint blue veins could be seen.

Lu Ming reached out and grabbed at the umbrella twice, as if making up his mind, and said, "I'm going downstairs to buy a small umbrella. Wait for me to come back!"

Li Wen said softly, "Actually, it's okay not to wear it."

Lu Ming's scalp tingled instantly. This is actually possible?

"No, that would be too irresponsible of you."

"Alright then, but hurry up!"

"Okay, you take a shower first. I'll buy some food on the way. Think about what you want to eat and send me a message later, and I'll bring it back for you."

Lu Ming rubbed her buttocks hard again, pretending to be reluctant to leave, before finally leaving the room...
