Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 25 Don't let women with ill intentions get close to him
Shen Guining called out, "Mr. Qu."

Get in the car and close the door.

Qu Yanci raised his eyes and gave a faint "hmm".

Shen Guining noticed that Xia Xi wasn't in the car and asked suspiciously, "Where's Xi Xi?"

Qu Yanci continued flipping through the documents, "Didn't she tell you?"

"what?"

“She went to America to see her mother yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Guining was taken aback.

So, now it's just her and Mr. Qu?
No, Mr. Qu went to discuss serious business, so he definitely wouldn't take her out to play.

Qu Yanci roughly guessed what she was thinking, "If you're bored, you can call a friend over to keep you company."

Shen Guining pursed her lips. "No need, they all have their own plans."

Moreover, she doesn't have many friends in Beijing.

Qu Yanci said no more.

The resort is located in the suburbs, a two-hour drive from the city center.

Mr. Qu was in his office when Han Yi reported to him about his work, including securities and the stock market. Shen Guining listened as if he were hearing gibberish and didn't dare to disturb him. He turned his head to look at the dense traffic outside the window and fell asleep without realizing it.

Qu Yanci caught a glimpse of the girl's sleeping face out of the corner of his eye. She was quiet and well-behaved, breathing lightly, her head tilted against the car window.

He looked away and interrupted Han Yi in a low voice: "We'll talk about the rest at the hotel."

Han Yi was puzzled at first, but he understood when he saw Shen Guining sleeping in the rearview mirror.

He was no longer surprised; President Qu had made exceptions for Miss Shen time and again.

The Bentley smoothly drove out of the city and into the suburban area.

As they rounded a bend, Shen Guining veered to the left due to inertia, her head tilting until it rested against Qu Yanci's arm, her forehead pressed against his, her long hair brushing against the back of his hand.

The little girl was sleeping soundly and didn't wake up.

Breath through the shirt sprayed onto the skin, causing a slight itch.

Qu Yanci frowned slightly and reached out to straighten her head.

But after a short while, she automatically moved closer again.

In her sleep, Shen Guining grabbed a pillow, hugged it, and rubbed her cheek against it.

Before she could even enjoy it for a moment, a deep, indifferent voice came to her ear: "Shen Guining, let go."

It sounds like Mr. Qu is speaking.

She slowly opened her eyes, her pupils still blurry, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. When she saw what was happening in front of her, a blush quickly spread across her cheeks. She hurriedly let go of Qu Yanci's arm, sat up straight, and stammered, "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Shen Guining herself also found it strange that she could always fall asleep without any defenses in front of Mr. Qu.

However, the fabric of his shirt is really comfortable, and it is most likely custom-made and quite expensive.

Qu Yanci didn't argue with her, and casually reminded her, "You can move your seat to the back."

Shen Guining nodded gently, but once she woke up, it was hard for her to fall back asleep, so she asked softly, "How much longer until we arrive?"

The driver in the front seat replied, "Half an hour more, Ms. Shen."

"Ok."

Shen Guining decided to play on her phone for a while and happened to see a voice message Xia Xi sent her. She originally wanted to convert the voice message to text, but accidentally clicked play instead.

Xia Xi's voice suddenly rang out in the car.

"I'm sorry, sister. I was so excited to see Mom yesterday that I forgot to tell you I came to America. I'll definitely come and play with you next time."

"That resort was invested and opened by my uncle. If you need anything, just ask him. He can solve anything for you!"

"Oh, by the way, if you have time, please keep an eye on my uncle and make sure no woman with ill intentions gets close to him."

After the voice message finished playing, an eerie silence fell over the car.

"..."

Shen Guining felt a chill run down her spine and frantically turned off her phone. Could she admit that she was the woman with malicious intentions? She had let Xixi down.

Qu Yanci turned his body slightly to the side, looking at her with a leisurely air.

Shen Guining could feel the intense, undeniable gaze from her left without even looking up. She could only offer an awkward yet polite smile. "Mr. Qu, Xixi was just joking. Don't take it seriously."

Qu Yanci asked in a detached tone, "Is that so?"

Shen Guining nodded vigorously.

Fortunately, he didn't pursue the matter.
-
Located in the suburbs, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the resort is built against the mountain, surrounded by a green lake, and embraced by pure oxygen, offering stunning scenery.

The Bentley drove in smoothly and eventually stopped in front of the hotel.

During the trial operation phase, it will not be open to the public and will only receive specially invited guests.

The doorman bowed slightly and helped open the car door.

Shen Guining got out of the car first, followed by Qu Yan.

The manager was surprised to see a woman getting out of Mr. Qu's car.

Is she my girlfriend, or is there some other relationship?
He didn't dare to arrange just one room, so he arranged two adjacent suites.

"Your room has been arranged. Let me take you up now."

Qu Yanci nodded.

Shen Guining followed behind him, pulling her suitcase.

Upon reaching the top floor, the manager handed out the room keys to each person.

Before entering the room, Qu Yanci glanced at the young girl next to him and said, "If you have any questions, ask the front desk."

Shen Guining pouted and muttered under her breath, "Can't I come to you?"

Qu Yanci didn't hear clearly, "What?"

Shen Guining quickly shook her head, "It's nothing."

Back in her room, she unpacked her suitcase. Having heard there was a hot spring bath here, she had brought a swimsuit and a bathrobe.

Soaking in a bath before bed at night is very relaxing.

In the afternoon, she asked the staff about nearby entertainment options. The receptionist recommended the glass walkway and suggested that she could pick some fresh, all-natural fruit at the fruit picking garden along the way.

Shen Guining followed the advice.

Since we're already here, we can't just stay cooped up in our rooms forever.

The staff were attentive and considerate, acting as her tour guide and leading her there.

The temperature is just right this season, neither too hot nor too cold, it's very comfortable.

The orchard grows a variety of fruits, and the ripe fruits are all plump and round, emitting a rich and sweet aroma.

Shen Guining picked some Sunshine Roses with a basket.

Although the hotel also had some, the ones I picked myself seemed to taste sweeter.

I wonder if Mr. Qu likes to eat this.

After leaving the orchard, head to the glass walkway halfway up the mountain.

Just as the sun was setting, the afterglow spread from the horizon, turning from orange-red to deep red, and spilled onto the winding glass walkway, resembling a ladder to the sky. Surrounded by transparent glass, it was both thrilling and beautiful.

There is also a unique viewing platform on the upper level of the boardwalk, offering an even better view.

Hot tea was poured on the luxurious stone tea table, and steam slowly drifted away.

Qu Yanci was discussing matters with someone here.

Two American business partners made a special trip to China to meet with this young head of the group.

Su Yuchen accompanied him, lit a cigarette, leaned against the railing and gazed into the distance. After a while, a slender figure appeared in his field of vision. He smiled and gestured to Qu Yanci, "Brother Ci, the beautiful Shen is down below."

The man glanced down casually.

On the boardwalk, a little girl was taking pictures with her phone. The pale golden light shone on her, making her figure appear soft.
