After one night of indulgence, the abstinent tycoon kissed her every night with his hand on her hip.

After Lin Li finished explaining everything, she looked at the man who was still unconscious on the bed and lowered her eyes slightly, her heart softening.

As expected, she still couldn't let him go. She sighed softly, got up, and went to the kitchen to start cooking porridge.

That night, Lin Li stayed at Zhou Siye's house because she was worried about him.

Zhou Siye was in a daze all day, his fever would come down and then come back again and again, but he knew that there was always a figure by his side who was Lin Li.

His fever didn't completely subside until late at night.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman sleeping beside his bed; his gaze darkened.

He licked his dry lips, got up, carried the person to the bed, pulled them into his arms, and closed his eyes again.

Sure enough, he felt more comfortable sleeping with this woman in his arms. He found himself becoming more and more concerned and having feelings for Lin Li.

When Lin Li woke up in the morning, she found herself sleeping in Zhou Siye's arms. She was slightly taken aback and then got up.

She couldn't let herself sink into despair, otherwise only pain awaited her; this man's world had no place for her. Lin Li glanced longingly and bitterly at the man beside her who was still sleeping soundly, then lowered her eyes slightly to hide the bitterness in them.

She reached out and touched the man's forehead; his temperature was normal. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, gave him a deep look, and got out of bed.

In the kitchen.

She made breakfast, left a note, and left without looking back.

So be it.

She can't be soft-hearted this time; she won't turn back.

She should leave once these major projects at the company are finished. She's in too much pain right now, and she can't hold on any longer.

Zhou Siye didn't open his eyes until ten o'clock. He had a very comfortable sleep.

Perhaps because Lin Li was by his side, he slept very soundly and sweetly. Thinking of Lin Li, he subconsciously reached out to hug the person in his arms, only to find that his arms were empty.

The woman was no longer by his side. Zhou Siye touched the now-cold spot beside him, his eyes darkening slightly.

He noticed that since Lin Li returned from her vacation, she seemed to be deliberately keeping her distance from him, as if their previous intimate relationship in bed never existed.

This woman not only took the initiative to end the relationship with him, but now she can also distance herself from him.

At that moment, in her eyes, he was just her boss, nothing more.

Realizing this, Zhou Siye felt a sense of annoyance and unease, a feeling that was both suffocating and unsettling.

He got up and went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. He then noticed a note on the dining table. He picked it up and saw that it was written in Lin Li's familiar and delicate handwriting.

He glanced at it, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Sure enough, following the woman's information, he saw the refreshing breakfast she had prepared in the kitchen.

Looking at the breakfast, he suddenly felt a strange yet satisfying feeling.

……

Ling Jingyuan returned to his mansion in the city center.

He first went to his study for two hours to finish up the remaining official work.

He missed his girlfriend Jiang Zhi so much when he got back from his business trip yesterday that he couldn't wait to go to Jiang Zhi's house. He bought groceries, cooked, and tried to impress her, completely forgetting about the rest of his work.

His girlfriend went shopping today and didn't come with him, so he could use this time to handle some work.

Then he would spend the rest of his time with his girlfriend.

After all, he had been away on a business trip for so long, leaving his girlfriend alone in the house for so long. He should do his job and make it up to her, and take good care of her.

Thinking of Jiang Zhi, Ling Jingyuan's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, his sexy black eyes filled with unconcealed laughter.

What is his girlfriend doing?

Have you been thinking about him?

Ling Jingyuan turned on his computer, his smile fading as he began to work.

He first held an online international conference, then dealt with some other matters, and finally shut down his computer after finishing everything.

He rose, went to his study, opened the safe, and took out a black velvet box, which he slowly opened. Inside was a ruby ​​necklace, and he looked at it with tenderness in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to see his girlfriend, and to see Jiang Zhi.

Thinking of Jiang Zhi, Ling Jingyuan seemed to remember something. He put the box away, took out his phone, and dialed Ms. Zhou's number.

"Mom, do you want to meet your daughter-in-law soon? Do you want her to accept you as her mother-in-law as soon as possible? You can do it tomorrow..."

Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep and dark, and a cunning glint flashed in his dark, deep eyes.

He didn't want to wait any longer; he wanted to confront Jiang Zhi directly with himself and his family, and make her understand his feelings.

Call it scheming or manipulation, he admits it!

As for Jiang Zhi, he wanted her to accept everything about him in the most straightforward and intense way.

He wanted her to know that whether it was him or his parents, the Ling family would love her just as much as he did.

He had read Jiang Zhi's information and understood why she hesitated and struggled so much before accepting him. He would fill in everything she lacked: security, trust, and everything else.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhou on the other end of the phone hesitated, "Ling Jingyuan, aren't you being a bit too much?"

"Are you sure Jiang Zhi won't be angry with you for doing this?"

Although she, as the future mother-in-law, was also eager to meet her daughter-in-law, the thought of her son's cunning nature made her want to roll her eyes.

Because she thought of many things, these routines were very familiar, it seemed that Ling Shen had treated her the same way back then.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at a man who was quietly reading a newspaper beside her. Seeing this, Ling's father put away the newspaper and looked deeply into Zhou Yun's calm yet charming eyes.

"Wife."

The man looked at Ms. Zhou with a low voice, a gentle smile on his lips, and tenderness in his eyes, and called out softly.

Even though she hadn't done anything, Zhou Yun couldn't help but blush slightly and look away when she saw the man's calm gaze.

Seeing this, Ling Shen's eyes seemed to have a hook in them. He grabbed Zhou Yun's phone and spoke softly to Ling Jingyuan on the other end of the line.

"Okay, that's it for now."

After finishing his sentence, Ling's father hung up the phone. Although his gaze was calm and he didn't say anything, Zhou Yun felt that there seemed to be a fire burning in the man's eyes, carrying a deep and alluring charm.

"Wife."

Ling's father whispered something in Ms. Zhou's ear, then lowered his head and kissed her lips, picking her up and carrying her straight to the bedroom.

Ling Jingyuan looked at the phone that his father had hung up on, feeling somewhat helpless.

He glanced at the time and couldn't help but call Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi and Shen Yutong had just finished shopping and were about to go back when they received Ling Jingyuan's call.

After getting the address, Ling Jingyuan grabbed his car keys and went out.

Twenty minutes later, Ling Jingyuan picked up Jiang Zhi and took her directly back to his mansion.

The two had just sat down on the sofa in the living room when Jiang Zhi thought for a moment, took out a gift box from her bag, and handed it to Ling Jingyuan.

"Ling Jingyuan, this is for you."

Jiang Zhi's voice was gentle, but her face showed a hint of awkwardness and nervousness.

After all, this was the first time she had given a gift to a man, and she didn't know if Ling Jingyuan would like it.

Ling Jingyuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then felt a surge of surprise.

Did Jiang Zhi give him a gift? Or did his girlfriend give him a gift?

His eyes were deep and sparkling with a dazzling light as he reached out to take the gift. He looked intently at Jiang Zhi, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up as he opened the gift box.

Inside was an expensive tie, which he really liked.

Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan without saying a word and became a little nervous, wondering if this man didn't like the tie. Just as she was about to speak, her lips were deeply sealed by Ling Jingyuan.

"Baby, I like it very much."

Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep; the moment he saw the tie, he knew its purpose.
