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

Ling's Group, President's Office.

Ling Jingyuan rubbed his temples wearily and closed his laptop.

"Boss, here is your schedule for tomorrow."

Assistant Li Rui handed a schedule to Ling Jingyuan, who glanced at it and nodded slightly.

Ling Jingyuan picked up his phone, intending to call Jiang Zhi, when the phone rang.

It was a call from his mother, Ms. Zhou.

"Son, it seems you still need to work harder."

As soon as the call connected, I heard Ms. Zhou's voice sounding somewhat disappointed.

Ling Jingyuan frowned slightly upon hearing this; it was as if his own mother was starting to criticize him right from the beginning.

"Mom, what do you mean?"

Thinking about Jiang Zhi's reaction today, Ms. Zhou couldn't help but say, "I was talking about my daughter-in-law. You still need to work harder."

"It seems the young lady hasn't considered marrying you!"

"Anyway, I've taken a liking to this daughter-in-law. You can't let me down. Hurry up and marry her, or someone else might snatch her away later."

Ling Jingyuan's expression turned cold upon hearing this. Jiang Zhi was his!

Nobody can take him away from him!

"Mom, I understand."

Ms. Zhou thought for a moment and then recounted her shopping and dining experience with Jiang Zhi to Ling Jingyuan in detail. Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan frowned even more deeply, as he had a feeling that something must have happened to Jiang Zhi today.

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep and intense.

Although Jiang Zhi hid himself very well today, he knew Jiang Zhi too well.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and dialed another number. "Check who Jiang Zhi met today and what happened to him."

He hung up the phone, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

He glanced at the time, then grabbed his keys without hesitation and left the office.

Ling Jingyuan arrived at Jiang Zhi's apartment complex soon after. He parked his car and went straight up the elevator.

After entering the password and opening the door, the room was completely dark.

Ling Jingyuan frowned slightly. Normally, Jiang Zhi shouldn't be resting at this hour. Why is she sleeping so early today?

Are you feeling unwell?

He didn't turn on the light, but took out his phone and skillfully found his way to the bedroom by its light. Only a small bedside lamp was on in the bedroom.

On the bed, there was a small bag.

Ling Jingyuan walked gently to the bedside and sat down. He felt a pang of heartache looking at the woman curled up on the bed, sleeping restlessly.

He gazed intently at the sleeping Jiang Zhi. Originally, he had only come to check on Jiang Zhi tonight out of concern before leaving, since he had to go on a business trip tomorrow.

But now that he has seen the person, he doesn't want to leave.

Thinking of the phone call his mother made to him today, Jiang Zhi not only refused the black card his mother offered, but also returned the jade bracelet.

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with deep, unfathomable eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, he sighed deeply, got up, and left the room.

bathroom.

Under the shower steam, Ling Jingyuan's perfect, flawless physique was hidden in the water vapor.

His eyes were deep and dark, those insightful and sharp eyes were tightly closed at this moment.

"Jiang Zhi".

He let the fine water droplets from the shower envelop him, and whispered Jiang Zhi's name in his cold lips.

Ling Jingyuan quickly finished showering and washing up, then returned to Jiang Zhi's bedroom. He gently lifted the covers, got into bed, and pulled her tightly into his arms. Looking at the person he was holding, his heart softened.

"Jiang Zhi".

Ling Jingyuan held the person and murmured softly.

"Fall in love with me quickly."

He looked down at the person in his arms and couldn't help but gently kiss Jiang Zhi's forehead, then slowly closed his eyes while holding her.

early morning.

Jiang Zhi woke up early because she had gone to bed early the night before. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed something was wrong. She immediately saw Ling Jingyuan beside her.

She was slightly taken aback, looking at the man who was holding her tightly in his arms.

Looking at Ling Jingyuan's sleeping face, a warm feeling involuntarily crept into her eyes. She didn't know when this man had come over last night, but seeing him made Jiang Zhi feel a warmth in her heart and a sense of security that she herself hadn't even realized she had.

Jiang Zhi looked gently at the man who still exuded a strong sense of pressure even in his sleep, and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his eyebrows and eyes.

Almost subconsciously, Jiang Zhi suddenly felt a strong urge to kiss this man.

Jiang Zhi closed her eyes slightly and gently kissed the man's forehead.

"Jiang Zhi".

Suddenly, a sexy and deep voice sounded softly.

Jiang Zhi was startled and opened her eyes abruptly, only to be met with the man's deep, dark eyes, as cold as a deep pool.

Looking into Ling Jingyuan's deep eyes, Jiang Zhi felt as if she were about to be drawn into them. Although her face was slightly flushed, she still smiled gently at Ling Jingyuan, her eyes full of tenderness.

Good morning, boyfriend.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan's dark and deep eyes deepened, the cold pool in his eyes receding and being tinged with spring tide. His sexy thin lips slightly turned up, and the deep affection and tenderness in his eyes almost melted Jiang Zhi.

He tightened his arms around Jiang Zhi's waist involuntarily, and gently kissed her forehead.

Good morning, girlfriend.

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, the two looked at each other without saying a word. They just stared at each other for a few seconds and then smiled at each other, their lips curving upwards at the same time.

"Why did you come here last night?" Jiang Zhi asked softly, leaning against Ling Jingyuan's chest.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan gently stroked Jiang Zhi's waist and said softly, "I missed you, so I came over."

Jiang Zhi felt a sudden tenderness in her heart and leaned against Ling Jingyuan without saying a word.

This man always appears when she is at her most vulnerable, soothing her inner unease and darkness time and time again.

"Ling Jingyuan".

Jiang Zhi slightly raised her beautiful eyes and gently looked at Ling Jingyuan. "Close your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan didn't ask anything, but obediently closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi reached out and gently stroked Ling Jingyuan's thin lips before kissing him. When he felt the gentle and familiar touch on his lips, Ling Jingyuan paused slightly and opened his eyes instantly.

His eyes darkened, and he deepened the kiss.

This kiss was devoid of any lust. Ling Jingyuan's expression was devout, focused, gentle, and tender as the two embraced tightly and kissed tenderly.

After a long while, Ling Jingyuan forced himself to release Jiang Zhi's lips and placed an extremely gentle kiss on her forehead.

Neither of them spoke; they simply embraced each other quietly, their sweetness filling the room like air itself.

"I'll get up first, you can sleep a little longer." After a long while, Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with gentle eyes and spoke softly.

Jiang Zhi shook her head upon hearing this; she couldn't fall back asleep once she woke up.

The two got up, washed up, and tidied themselves up. Ling Jingyuan went into the kitchen after getting ready and quickly prepared breakfast.

After having breakfast with Jiang Zhi and cleaning up the dishes, he hugged her, feeling a little reluctant to part.

"I have to go now, I have to go on a business trip soon."

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and a hint of apology appeared in her eyes as she looked at Ling Jingyuan.

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

Ling Jingyuan lowered his eyes and looked deeply at Jiang Zhi, then gently kissed her lips.

"Jiang Zhi, eat well and remember to think of me."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi's heart softened and she nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll see you downstairs."

Ling Jingyuan shook his head and hugged Jiang Zhi tightly. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to bear leaving her, so he gently released her, his voice deep and heavy.

"No need to see me off. I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to leave later. You get some rest, I'm off."

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, he gave Jiang Zhi a deep look and turned to leave.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi could only stand at the door and watch Ling Jingyuan leave until she could no longer see his figure before slowly turning her gaze away and closing the door.

When Jiang Zhi returned to the living room, she suddenly felt empty inside. She looked around and realized that the once cozy room was now empty except for her.

She smiled and shook her head; it seems habits really are a terrible thing.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang, interrupting her reverie. Jiang Zhi picked up her phone, glanced at it, and answered the call.
