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

With several major projects for the company finally signed and settled, Zhou Siye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was quite tired from working non-stop lately, and with Lin Li not around, he felt something was missing and he wasn't used to it.

Once the project was finished, he had some free time. Thinking that Lin Li had returned to her hometown of Suzhou and hadn't contacted him since that phone call, Zhou Siye couldn't help but frown slightly.

He had his assistant book the plane tickets almost without hesitation. At that moment, Zhou Siye was in the car on his way to Suzhou, dialing Lin Li's number, but no one answered the phone.

Zhou Siye hung up the phone, his eyes showing a hint of weariness.

"Let's go to the hotel."

Zhou Siye casually tossed his phone aside, gently closed his eyes, and spoke softly.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

The driver responded softly, and then the car headed towards the best hotel in Suzhou.

It was already midnight, and Zhou Siye was so eager to see Lin Li that he completely forgot about Lin Li's schedule at this hour.

This isn't Beijing; at this hour, Lin Li is at the hospital taking care of someone and has already fallen asleep.

My phone was on silent, so I didn't hear it at all.

You know, patients in the hospital usually rest very early, and Lin Li was at the hospital almost every day to take care of them, so her schedule was adjusted accordingly.

In addition, I was really tired from taking care of her every day, so I went to bed early at night and didn't receive Zhou Siye's call.

Hotel, Presidential Suite.

Zhou Siye had just finished showering. He was wearing a black bathrobe with the belt tied loosely at the waist, revealing a large expanse of well-defined skin on his chest.

Perhaps it was the excitement of seeing Lin Li, but Zhou Siye was not sleepy at all.

How is that woman doing lately?

Have you been thinking about him?

Will she be happy to see him?

The thought of Lin Li stirred something within Zhou Siye's powerful yet cold black eyes. He tilted his head back, took a small sip of the red wine in his hand, and then looked out the window at the lake.

A strange feeling, one that he couldn't quite explain, welled up inside him. Zhou Siye suppressed the emotion in his heart, slowly withdrew his gaze, and put down his wine glass.

Thinking about seeing that woman tomorrow, Lin Li and Zhou Siye finally fell asleep after a long time.

The next day, at the hospital.

In the ward, although Lin's father was still weak after the surgery, his condition and spirits were not bad, and he was happy to see his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time, come back.

He and his wife only have this one precious daughter, and he didn't want her to go to university so far away in Beijing.

However, since Lin Li insisted on going, the couple could only support her.

He knew that once Lin Li went to university there, she would most likely never come back. They didn't want their daughter to be very successful; they just hoped that she could live a peaceful and happy life.

They have no connections or resources in Beijing. If their daughter goes there, she'll have to start all over again, and that will be incredibly difficult.

As expected, Lin Li stayed in Beijing after graduating from university, returning home at most twice a year.

Although the couple missed her, they never said anything so as not to disturb her work. They would only go to Beijing to see her when they missed her.

This illness came suddenly. He didn't want his wife to tell Lin Li, but she told her anyway.

Looking at his daughter, Lin's father felt both gratified and heartbroken. He was about to say something when a voice suddenly appeared at the door, interrupting him.

"Oh, Lin Li is here too."

Suddenly, Lin Li's uncle and aunt appeared at the door, and it was Lin Li's aunt, Zhang Fang, who spoke.

Lin Li frowned almost imperceptibly when she saw the two of them; she didn't like the couple.

For so many years, his uncle and aunt had always bullied his family, but his parents were kind and unwilling to argue with them.

Back when she was still in Suzhou, she wouldn't have tolerated them. But after so many years away from university and work, she didn't know if her parents had been bullied in private.

Despite disliking the two, Lin Li nodded slightly out of respect for her parents and addressed them as "Uncle" and "Aunt" in a low voice.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were also surprised by the appearance of the two. Ever since their daughter married a small business owner in their area, the two of them had become incredibly arrogant.

They wouldn't even look at their younger brother and sister-in-law anymore.

The couple walked in empty-handed. Lin Li's aunt looked Lin Li up and down and then spoke to Lin's parents.

"See, I told you all to bring Lin Li back sooner rather than later. What's a girl doing running so far away? What kind of career is a girl supposed to pursue?"

"Look at you now that you're sick, it would have been so much better if Lin Li were here with you."

Lin's parents remained silent upon hearing this, while Lin Li's aunt glanced at Lin Li again, her face full of arrogance and superiority.

"Lin Li, it's not that your aunt is criticizing you, but your parents are all grown up, you should be more sensible. You should have listened to me and gone to university in Suzhou, and then married a decent man after graduation."

"Look at your sister, she married so well. Look at your uncle and me, your sister takes us for a medical check-up every year. Look how healthy we are. Unlike you, you only know how to have fun outside and don't care about your parents."

"What's the point of your parents raising you for so many years?"

After saying that, she proudly shook the jade bracelet on her wrist and said with a faint smile, "Lin Li, you're 27 this year, right? Do you have a boyfriend? Your aunt happens to know someone suitable, I'll introduce you..."

Lin Li's aunt, Zhang Fang, came specifically to introduce Lin Li to a potential partner after hearing that Lin Li had returned.

It wasn't because she suddenly had a kind heart, but for her daughter, Lin Man. Her son-in-law had recently met some people through his business dealings, and he was trying to curry favor with them.

Lin Li frowned slightly upon hearing this. Just as she was about to refuse, a voice that sounded extremely familiar came from the doorway.

"Lin Li".

Lin Li was startled by the voice.

She slowly looked towards the door and sure enough, she saw Zhou Siye, the man, standing there in a sharp suit, carrying a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers.

Upon hearing this, the four people inside all looked at the man standing at the door. Before Lin Li could speak, Zhou Siye walked straight in.

The man walked up to Lin Li and looked at her intently.

She's lost weight in just a short time.

"Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Zhou Siye, Lin Li's boyfriend."

Zhou Siye's words instantly stunned the five people in the room. Not to mention others, even Lin Li herself looked at Zhou Siye with confusion.

This man suddenly appeared here and said those words. What does he want?

Does he even know what he's saying?

Boy friend?

Is he her boyfriend?

Lin's parents looked at Lin Li with questioning expressions, while Zhang Fang looked at Zhou Siye with suspicion and disdain in her eyes.

Lin Li's boyfriend?

He's dressed like a real estate agent. Where did this man come from?

The big boss her son-in-law is currently working with is looking for a girlfriend, and she's planning to introduce Lin Li to him so she can help her daughter and son-in-law get to know each other.

How did Lin Li suddenly end up with a boyfriend?

Lin Li opened her mouth to explain, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.

Ling Jingyuan, who was away on a business trip, looked at the information and videos sent by Li Rui, and his eyes turned cold after reading them.
