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

As Jiang Zhi entered the elevator of the residential complex, her phone vibrated a few times. She opened her phone and saw a brightly lit photo of a certain man. Her eyes were drawn to several close-up photos with ambiguous undertones, followed by a half-body photo of the man's face.

Each photo says nothing, yet seems to say everything.

There were quite a few people in the elevator. Jiang Zhi felt her face flush and quickly closed the chat window.

Ling Jingyuan, this man...

On the other side, Ling Jingyuan looked at the photos he had sent and still received no reply. His eyes darkened slightly, and he raised an eyebrow.

I can't just let all the marks I worked so hard to make last night go to waste. Didn't that woman Jiang Zhi say she'd forget about it after a night of passion?

He insisted that she retain some memories, even though those memories were fabricated by him!

After thinking for a moment, he reopened the photo album and sent the photos of the two of them entangled in the bathroom last night, their clothes still dirty.

[Ling Jingyuan: Designer Jiang, you vomited in my car last night, got my clothes dirty, and slept with me. Don't forget the three meals you owe me!]

Jiang Zhi stepped out of the elevator and felt her phone vibrate before she opened it.

When she saw the photos and messages sent by Ling Jingyuan, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

Looking at her clothes in the bathroom, stained with vomit from her and Ling Jingyuan's entanglement, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

She was really... last night.

But when she saw the message from Ling Jingyuan, she had some doubts. She had vomited so much last night, how could she possibly do those things to him?

Jiang Zhi was somewhat suspicious, but when she saw the photos with obvious traces that the man had sent her on his phone, she had no choice but to believe him.

After all, she seemed to have left many scratches on that man on the previous two occasions.

Jiang Zhi sighed softly, looking annoyed. She had finally managed to break off her relationship with that man, and now it was all over again in one night...

She owed him three meals in one night.

This meant she would have to see him three more times. Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes and opened the door, feeling somewhat powerless.

Back home, she grabbed a change of clothes, went to the bathroom to wash herself thoroughly, and then came out. After drying her hair, Jiang Zhi curled up on the sofa and picked up her phone to search online for car wash fees.

She posted the photo of the car Ling Jingyuan sent online and realized it was a Bentley after using image recognition. She searched for Bentley cleaning fees and was surprised to find out that her vomiting episode was so expensive.

The cleaning fee ranges from 1500 to 5000 yuan, and Jiang Zhi frowned, feeling a little distressed.

After thinking for a moment, she took the middle value, opened Ling Jingyuan's WeChat, and transferred 2500 yuan to him.

She prefers to settle accounts evenly, as she doesn't like owing others anything.

As for the three meals, she would try to get him to finish them as soon as possible so she could finally relax.

Luxury villas.

Ling Jingyuan lay back on the black leather sofa with his long legs crossed. His dark eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the first message from Jiang Zhi.

Cleaning fee 2500?

Is she in such a hurry to sever ties with me?

Ling Jingyuan stared at the number 2500 for a long time before angrily clicking "accept." He then thoughtfully reminded Jiang Zhi not to forget her three meals a day.

Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the transfer received on her phone, and ignored the message sent by Ling Jingyuan.

She got up and straightened the coat she had just taken off. She had checked it online and it wasn't cheap. Jiang Zhi didn't want to have anything to do with Ling Jingyuan, so she planned to take the coat to the dry cleaners and return it to him when she treated him to dinner next time.

As for the underwear, forget about it; after all, it's something she's worn and it's too private...

She had just finished tidying up when her phone started vibrating incessantly.

She picked up her phone and saw it was an unknown number. She tossed the phone aside without answering, but the other party seemed very persistent.

Jiang Zhi frowned as she answered the phone and heard a familiar yet angry voice coming from the other end.

"Jiang Zhi, what's wrong with you? You actually blocked my number?"

"Do you even see me as your father anymore?"

Jiang Zhi smiled coldly upon hearing this. Father? Her father had died back in her senior year of high school!

"This Sunday is your sister's birthday. How can you be such a good older sister? Prepare a gift for me when you come back on Sunday to celebrate with your sister..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Jiang Zhi hung up the phone and blocked/deleted them.

She tossed her phone aside and curled herself up into a ball.

That man had the nerve to call himself her father. She didn't have a father; she hadn't had one since her mother passed away.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi's emotions plummeted to rock bottom, and those unpleasant memories swept over her once again. She hugged herself tightly, her head hanging low, almost overwhelmed by her emotions.

The phone rang again, pulling Jiang Zhi back from her overwhelming emotions.

Her eyes were a little vacant as she slowly picked up her phone and saw that it was her best friend Shen Yutong calling. Her eyes lit up slightly as she answered the call.

"Hey sis, were you okay last night? I just woke up. I heard Ling Jingyuan took you home last night?"

Jiang Zhi snapped out of her reverie upon hearing Shen Yutong's lively voice. "Hmm, were you alright last night? Did you get home safely?"

Shen Yutong paused slightly upon hearing this, then quickly smiled and said, "Yes, Fu Libai lives in the same neighborhood as me, I'm fine."

"Zhibao, your voice sounds off. What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Jiang Zhi calmed herself down and said softly, "I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell from being drunk."

Shen Yutong didn't think too much about it, assuming it was because Jiang Zhi was drunk last night. "Okay, Zhi Bao, you should get some rest. We'll make another appointment tomorrow."

Jiang Zhi smiled gently upon hearing this, "Okay, you should also get some rest and eat well. I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhi got up and started changing her clothes. She didn't want to stay home alone at that moment.

Whenever she's in a bad mood, she likes to go to the library, choose a book she likes, and immerse herself in it, which calms her down a lot.

After packing the clothes Ling Jingyuan had given her, Jiang Zhi took her phone and went out.

She first took the clothes to the dry cleaners, then found a porridge shop and had some porridge, before taking a taxi to the largest library in Beijing.

When she arrived at the library, Jiang Zhi felt much better. She put her phone on silent, selected a few books she liked, and found a quiet corner to read.

She spent the entire afternoon there, and by the time she realized it, the library was almost closing time. Jiang Zhi glanced at the time, feeling somewhat unsatisfied, but her mood had calmed down considerably.

She quickly returned the book, grabbed her bag, and walked out of the library, opening her phone app to call a taxi as she went.

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind.

"Jiang Zhi".

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi paused slightly as she tapped the screen. She slowly turned around and saw that familiar figure.

"Jiang Zhizhen, it really is you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

Jiang Zhi looked at the refined and gentle man opposite her, a faint smile flashing in her eyes, "Hmm, what a coincidence."

Gu Shen glanced at the time and said gently, "Let's go, it's rare for us to have a meal together."

Jiang Zhiming knew she should refuse, but she still craved the warmth she had once felt, so she nodded slightly to the man.

"Okay, sure."

Gu Shen's eyes lit up upon hearing this. The two got into the car and finally stopped in front of a hidden gem of a private kitchen. Gu Shen led them into the restaurant with a gentle smile and sat them down at a corner table.

Gu Shen handed the menu to Jiang Zhi, who shook her head and told Gu Shen to order whatever he wanted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen smiled faintly and glanced at Jiang Zhi, his eyes full of tenderness.

Fu Libai was feeling stuffy in the private room and wanted to come out for some fresh air when his eyes swept around and he saw Jiang Zhi's familiar figure.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, and his eyes lit up when he saw the man next to Jiang Zhi. He took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it directly to Ling Jingyuan.

A few seconds later, Ling Jingyuan sent two words: Address!

Seeing this, Fu Libai grinned slyly and sent him his location.

Ling Jingyuan stared at the photo on his phone, his eyes darkening as he looked at the gentle woman laughing with the man...
