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

Ling Jingyuan put down his wine glass, looked at Fu Libai, and smiled faintly: "Congratulations on successfully finding your sweetheart and ending your single life."

Fu Libai shook the glass in his hand and smiled arrogantly: "Likewise, congratulations to you both."

The two exchanged a smile and clinked glasses in the air. Fu Libai took a sip of red wine and looked at Zhou Siye, who had been drinking in silence, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Siye, what's wrong with you? You've been drinking ever since you came in. Tell us what's bothering you so we can both have a good laugh."

Zhou Siye looked up, slightly tugged at the corners of his mouth, glanced indifferently at Fu Libai, who had a smug look on his face, and then lowered his head to finish the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Fu Libai and Ling Jingyuan both looked at Zhou Siye.

It seems like something's on your mind!

Although Zhou Siye is the oldest and usually the most taciturn of the three, he wouldn't be like this now.

"What's wrong? Are you troubled by love?"

Ling Jingyuan glanced at Zhou Siye. He knew some things about him and his secretary Lin Li, but he didn't know what his brother thought.

Zhou Siye didn't say anything upon hearing this, but simply gently stroked the glass.

"She said she wanted to resign," Zhou Siye suddenly said.

Fu Libai knew some things about Zhou Siye and his secretary, but not the specifics.

He noticed something was wrong as he looked at his brother Zhou Siye's demeanor. He raised an eyebrow and looked at his friend with a smile, asking him a question.

"Dude, you're not falling for your secretary, are you?"

Fu Libai's words made Zhou Siye pause slightly as he was stroking the cup. He slowly looked up at Fu Libai, his eyes filled with confusion.

Love?

Did he fall in love with Lin Li?

is it possible?

What is love? What is love?

Is there love between him and her?

Fu Libai and Ling Jingyuan exchanged a glance as they looked at Zhou Siye's furrowed brows and puzzled expression.

Looks like this guy's love life is still a long way off!

Zhou Siye's parents had a business marriage; their relationship was purely business-related and lacked genuine affection.

Over the years, although his parents have each maintained their own moral integrity, they have never had any emotional foundation with each other.

Therefore, she only felt a parental responsibility towards Zhou Siye and had no other feelings for him, which is why Zhou Siye has never been able to understand love.

He didn't know what love was!

Because he has never experienced or witnessed it.

However, Ling Jingyuan and Fu Libai are different. Their parents got together because of love and had a very beautiful relationship. They grew up in an environment of love and naturally learned to love each other.

Although Ling Jingyuan was practically an ice-cold, abstinent walking machine before he met Jiang Zhi, that doesn't mean he didn't understand love.

He just hadn't met the person who would make him fall head over heels for him.

And now, he has encountered it.

He met Jiang Zhi, the person destined for him, and fell in love at first sight.

He knows how to love because his parents taught him how.

But Zhou Siye didn't know how, because his parents hadn't taught him.

Therefore, he never considered the issues between Lin Li and him. Over the years, he believed that their relationship was merely a physical attraction between a man and a woman, a physiological need unrelated to emotions.

But today, Fu Libai's words made him hesitate.

What exactly is his relationship with Lin Li?

Is it a man's possessiveness, physical attraction, or something else?

Thinking of Lin Li, Zhou Siye couldn't help but recall Lin Li's indifference and decisiveness towards him at the Suzhou Hospital. He felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

"I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan gently patted his shoulder and said with a faint smile, "Si Ye, follow your heart. You'll know sooner or later."

Zhou Siye paused slightly, following his heart?

That evening, Zhou Siye was in a bad mood, and the two of them kept him company while he drank for a while.

Finally, Zhou Siye told the two to go back first while he sat for a while. Seeing this, the two left, letting the calm and clear-headed man think things through in peace.

Zhou Siye leaned back on the sofa, his rugged and handsome face half-hidden in the darkness.

He tilted his head back and finished the red wine in his glass, then poured himself another glass.

Just as he was getting a little dazed, the door to the private room was pushed open and a waitress walked in. The woman quickly walked to Zhou Siye's side and looked at the somewhat drunk man. A deep sense of calculation flashed in her eyes.

This is Zhou Siye, the president of the Zhou Group. She finally got this opportunity. If she could get close to this man today, she would never have to work as a waitress again.

"Mr. Zhou, you're drunk. Let me help you..."

Zhou Siye was somewhat drunk, but his mind was clear. When the woman approached him, he felt a wave of disgust and almost without hesitation, he kicked away the woman who was lunging at him.

"roll!"

The waitress was kicked to the ground. Hearing the man's cold roar, she was filled with lingering fear. Her chest ached from the kick, and she scrambled out of the private room.

Zhou Siye suddenly stood up, his body swaying slightly.

Now he wants to see Lin Li, he wants to see that woman.

"Come pick me up from the club."

Zhou Siye hung up the phone and slumped back onto the sofa.

He only wants Lin Li; he won't allow her to resign.

Jiang Zhi rested for two days, and then got busy again.

She has decided to open a studio, which is the culmination of her hard work, and she will personally handle everything in it.

First, they looked for an office space. Ling Jingyuan wanted to help, but Jiang Zhi refused.

Her studio wasn't big; Ling Jingyuan's place was too big for her to use. Soon, Jiang Zhi rented an office space and then started looking for a renovation team to renovate the office.

Jiang Zhi was busy going through procedures and getting certificates.

Seeing the office changing day by day, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little more joy in her eyes, even though she was busy.

This studio is like her own child; it is the culmination of her hard work and a new starting point for her career.

Here, she no longer does those generic, template-like designs found in design institutes. Here, she only does her own purest designs, creating her own unique pieces regardless of the size of the project.

While Jiang Zhi was immersed in the passion of her new career, Ling Jingyuan was suffering terribly.

Ling Jingyuan had never known that his girlfriend had such a resentful side, as she had completely neglected him.

For the first time, he felt that his girlfriend being a workaholic wasn't necessarily a good thing.

He's jealous, especially of his career.

He calculated that he hadn't spent a week with Jiang Zhi.

Every time he saw her, all he could do was kiss and hug someone before she sent him away. She said she had a lot of things to do the next day and didn't have time to keep him.

He could have easily kept her from getting tired; she wouldn't have needed to lift a finger.

However, he was still sent back by someone.

Ling Jingyuan stood in front of his floor-to-ceiling window, holding a wine glass and looking at the dazzling city night view outside, and couldn't help but slightly curl his lips.

Oh well, she's my girlfriend, so I might as well ignore her.

He will get all of this back with interest sooner or later!
