School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Ah? So... you're saying you want to do it again?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"Screw you!" Chen Zihan pouted her red lips and said, "I mean... don't you dare think there'll be a next time!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han immediately became displeased.

Chen Zihan, however, turned and ran, her flowing long hair dancing in the air. Xiao Han watched her receding figure and, without any hesitation, chased after her, shouting as he did, "Don't run, I want to see where you can go!"

"Hee hee, chase me then!" Chen Zihan turned her head to look at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han chased after her all the way.

On Yanjiang Road, the carefree figures of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, with their eye-catching stances, seemed to become a warm spot in the chilly winter. It was a sight that made onlookers feel a touch of warmth.

......

Xiao Han did not immediately agree to Liu Si's offer to buy into the company. Although Xiao Han was not very knowledgeable about the ways of the business world, he deeply knew that such matters could not be agreed upon in a rush, or it would give people the impression that he was only interested in profit.

Besides, this was Xiao Han's very first entrepreneurial venture; how could he not take it slow? Hanmen Technology was Xiao Han's painstaking effort and he couldn't let others take advantage of it so easily.

After sending Chen Zihan back home, Xiao Han hailed a ride back to Fuxing Community.

The moment the car arrived at the entrance of Fuxing Community, Xiao Han spotted a conspicuous BMW Car not far away. He was very familiar with the license plate number because he had ridden in that car before. So, at a glance, he recognized it. It was Li Xiaoya's car.

Xiao Han couldn't help but slow down his pace.

Indeed, as the car door opened, Li Xiaoya appeared in front of Xiao Han, wearing an elegant dress. A blue crystal necklace hung around her neck, high heels on her feet, and her well-proportioned legs were long, with nothing to cover them—the pale, jade-like skin stark against the cold air.

"Sis, you..." Xiao Han stared at Li Xiaoya in astonishment, wearing clothes that seemed more suited for summer in such freezing weather.

"Get in the car!" Li Xiaoya said with a smile.

At her words, Xiao Han immediately climbed into the car. The engine had not been turned off, and once Xiao Han was inside, Li Xiaoya immediately hit the gas. Seeing Li Xiaoya again, Xiao Han seemed quite excited.

"Sister, didn't you say you'd be back on the second day of the New Year?" Xiao Han asked.

"Something came up, so I didn't make it back," Li Xiaoya said with a light smile. "I just arrived this afternoon, and I've been waiting here for you."

"You could have given me a call!" Xiao Han complained.

"But then wouldn't that spoil the surprise?" Li Xiaoya giggled.

Xiao Han blushed slightly, not understanding what kind of surprise Li Xiaoya was talking about—was it their meeting or was something about to happen between them? If something were to happen, should he accept it or reject it? After all, the nature of their relationship was unclear. Moreover, Li Xiaoya was a mother. He shouldn't push things too far.

Naturally, Xiao Han did harbor some fantasies about Li Xiaoya, being a normal man after all.

Any normal man who saw Li Xiaoya would probably be deeply struck by her presence in his mind. It wasn't just her beauty that captivated, but more importantly, there was an enchanting charm about her, a kind of charm that young girls simply did not possess—an aura unique to a mature woman.

"Sis, where are we going now?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"To my place," Li Xiaoya smiled.

"You have a home in LJ city, too?" Xiao Han asked, intrigued.

"I'm originally from LJ city," Li Xiaoya glanced at Xiao Han and said, "The reason I never released the agency rights for LJ city is because I couldn't bear to. But after seeing you, I decided to give them to you."

"Actually, I have to thank you for that," Xiao Han grinned.

"Silly boy, what are you thanking me for?" Li Xiaoya smiled and then said, "I only did what I should do. Besides, I'm the general distributor—every phone you sell earns me a profit too. Understand?"

"I know!" Xiao Han nodded and then asked, "Sis, do you know Liu Si?"

"Liu Si?" Li Xiaoya was taken aback and said, "Do you mean the Liu Si from LJ city? The owner of the Five Thousand Years Entertainment Club?"

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

"What about him?" Li Xiaoya asked curiously, "Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden?"

"Because he came to me today!" Xiao Han said earnestly, looking at Li Xiaoya. "He wants to buy a forty-nine percent stake in Hanmen Technology."

"Forty-nine percent?" Li Xiaoya was stunned, "That's just a stake, not a buyout. Investing forty-nine percent in a company doesn't give you the right to make decisions, only the right to profits. What's the issue? How much is he offering?"

"Ten million!" Xiao Han said.

"That much?!" Li Xiaoya was slightly surprised, adding, "Ten million could easily buy your entire Hanmen Technology, so why would it only get you a forty-nine percent stake?"

"I don't know either," Xiao Han shook his head.

"I get it now!" Li Xiaoya thought for a moment, then her eyes brightened as she realized, "If I were Liu Si, I would also be willing to spend ten million to buy a forty-nine percent stake in your company."

"Why?" Xiao Han looked at her, puzzled.

"Because of your ability and talent!" Li Xiaoya narrowed her eyes, "I believe Liu Si's investment in a forty-nine percent stake in Hanmen Technology is definitely not just for the company itself but for you. It's your ability and talent that can bring him longer-term and even more efficient returns."

"This..." Xiao Han was stunned. Spending ten million on a gamble, especially an invisible, intangible one, who would be willing? Xiao Han didn't quite understand.

"Maybe you don't quite get it," Li Xiaoya smiled, "But to a businessman, you're a good blue-chip stock. Ten million for your ability and talent is definitely a good investment. At least that's what I think."

"Alright then!" Xiao Han nodded helplessly.

"What? You're not happy about it?" Li Xiaoya asked curiously.

"Not really," Xiao Han shook his head, "On the way back, I kept thinking that ten million could bring me enough development funds. I could invest in other industries. It could help my business grow steadily."

"Exactly!" Li Xiaoya nodded.

"But I'm afraid Liu Si might have ulterior motives," Xiao Han said with a helpless smile.

"You can be rest assured about that," Li Xiaoya spoke, "I know Liu Si, I understand him. He's a visionary businessman, especially when it comes to investments. So, you can be at ease on that front. As long as you can make money for him, he definitely won't harbor any ill intentions."

Unconsciously, the car entered into a luxury residential area in Wangjiang District. You could tell the standard of the community just by the security measures at the entrance. After entering the community, the vehicle segregation was clear. The car slowly drove into the underground parking lot. After a short while, the car came to a steady stop.

Li Xiaoya turned off the engine adeptly and got out of the car. Xiao Han also opened the passenger door and got out.

Li Xiaoya took Xiao Han's hand and led him from the parking lot to the elevator, which went straight up to the duplex at the top floor.

Turning on the lights, the room was brightly lit. A luxurious crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, making the room exceptionally bright and spacious.

The heating in the house was always on, making it very comfortable as soon as they entered. Xiao Han took off his coat and hung it on a rack near the door. He looked around the luxurious apartment curiously.

"Sis, no one usually lives here, how come it's so clean?" Xiao Han asked, intrigued.

"Oh, there's a part-time cleaner that comes regularly," Li Xiaoya laughed lightly, then explained, "Besides, I do come back to stay for a while every now and then."

"No wonder!" Xiao Han nodded.

The layout of the room was very nice. Right after entering, you could see a grand staircase leading to the second floor. The decor of the house primarily featured black and white, accented with other light colors, which required it to be kept sanitary and clean.

The living room had a very high ceiling, about five or six meters. The living room was also very spacious, with a kitchen on the first floor, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and one large bath area. The total area was about two hundred and ten square meters, and the second floor had three bedrooms and a huge terrace with many plants. Many of them had died due to the long-term vacancy.

"Make yourself at home, I'll get you something to drink," Li Xiaoya said with a smile.

Xiao Han sat down on the couch. Such a large apartment in a third-tier city like LJ must cost at least a million, right? With such decor, probably two million or more.

Rich people really live differently; their lives are so luxurious. Moreover, the value of Li Xiaoya's villa in the provincial city must be worth tens of millions.

Soon, Li Xiaoya came over with a bottle of red wine in one hand and two tall glasses in the other.

"Come, have a couple of drinks with me," Li Xiaoya, now in a night robe, offered. The see-through robe, cunningly hiding and revealing, made one's blood surge. Xiao Han quickly averted his gaze, saying awkwardly, "Sis, I... I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I drink!"
Stay connected with empire

"That's perfect," Li Xiaoya approached, her whispers like silk, full of charm and enticing glances.

Unable to refuse, Xiao Han drank two glasses with her.

Li Xiaoya moved closer to Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Han, ever since our last meeting, your image has been in my mind. Tell me... why is that?"

"Ah?" Xiao Han was taken aback, saying awkwardly, "Sis, I..."

"Say nothing!" Li Xiaoya's slender fingers touched Xiao Han's lips, and she smiled lightly, "Finish this glass!"
