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

The renovation of the lighting studio is underway. Jiang Zhi has only made some adjustments and modifications to the office space, without making any major changes.

Jiang Zhi only realized how complicated and numerous the tasks were when she started her own business. Some of the relationships she had built up before contacted her after hearing that she had opened her own studio, saying that they had projects to collaborate on.

At the same time, some other people she didn't know, had never contacted or worked with before, also approached her.

Jiang Zhi understood that these people were trying to build a relationship with her because of her relationship with Ling Jingyuan.

She refused outright. On the one hand, she knew that her studio was not qualified to take on many projects, and on the other hand, she was also self-aware and knew her limits.

She didn't want her relationship with Ling Jingyuan to be entangled with too many interests; that wasn't what she wanted.

At the same time, she wanted to prove herself.

She hopes that people approach her because they recognize her design abilities; she wants to develop herself and have her abilities recognized.

This is her expectation, and also the driving force behind her efforts.

If one day her relationship with Ling Jingyuan breaks down and they are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, at least she will still have her own career, she will still be the independent Jiang Zhi, and she will still be the designer and engineer Jiang recognized by the client.

She is not anyone's appendage; she is simply herself, she is just Jiang Zhi.

In the office, Jiang Zhi looked at the renovation progress and estimated the time; it would be finished in at most half a month.

The paperwork and business license are almost ready; we can choose an auspicious day to open for business.

As for the studio team, Jiang Zhi had considered hiring people; she couldn't rely on herself.

Her studio doesn't have to be big, but it still needs a complete team; the number of people can be small, but they must be highly skilled and capable. She was a little worried about who to hire.

Originally, the lighting industry was a niche industry, unlike planning, architecture, and landscape architecture, which are more familiar to the general public.

She put in a lot of effort to recruit suitable and capable team members.

Most experienced and capable designers work in large residential compounds, and they might not necessarily be interested in her small, newly established studio.

After thinking it over, Jiang Zhi decided to post the job openings online first.

Jiang Zhigang had just returned to his car when he received a call from Ling Jingyuan.

"Jiang Zhi".

As soon as the call connected, Ling Jingyuan's somewhat resentful voice came through the phone, making Jiang Zhi feel a little guilty.

She knew that she had been busy with her studio and had neglected her CEO boyfriend.

Thinking of Ling Jingyuan, Jiang Zhi's voice softened: "Ling Jingyuan, I miss you so much."

Jiang Zhi wanted to soften her stance and coax Ling Jingyuan first, since her boyfriend was easy to please.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan on the phone was silent for a few seconds before his voice became dangerous and deep, "Baby, don't seduce me."

Jiang Zhi: ...

She didn't seduce him at all.

"Jiang Zhi is about to leave the country at the airport. There's a project that requires me to go on a business trip for a week."

Ling Jingyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Girlfriend, wait for me to come back."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi indicated that she didn't want to immediately understand Ling Jingyuan's meaning. Her face flushed slightly as she imagined the situation when this man returned a week later.

"Then take care of yourself and be safe. I'm hanging up now."

Jiang Zhi hurriedly hung up the phone, afraid that if she hung up even a second later, Ling Jingyuan would say something inappropriate.

Ling Jingyuan looked at the phone that had been hung up and smiled helplessly. He'd wait until he got back to see how he'd settle accounts with her.

Now that he's back from this business trip, he can finally have some free time to rest properly.

Especially with your girlfriend, take a good rest.

Thinking of this, Ling Jingyuan was filled with fighting spirit.

No pain, no gain!

In order to prepare for the delicious meal a week later, Ling Jingyuan put away his phone and boarded his private jet.

Meanwhile, on another plane in first class, a woman who bore a resemblance to Jiang Zhi looked at the information in her hand with an air of determination.

Country F.

Ling Jingyuan got off the plane and got into the car.

He leaned back in the back seat, looking out the window at the buildings, and suddenly missed Jiang Zhi. Without hesitation, he took out his phone and sent her a message.

The message went unanswered for a long time, and Ling Jingyuan smiled helplessly as he held his phone with his long, slender fingers.

What's the difference between him now and those eighteen, nineteen, or twenty-something lads? He's just a young man in love, clinging to his girlfriend.

Unfortunately, his girlfriend seemed to be a cool-headed type and didn't cling to him.

Ling Jingyuan smiled faintly as he put away his phone; he missed Jiang Zhi.

This business trip back to Country F reminded him of the first time he met Jiang Zhi at a lantern festival.

His heart beat before his brain recognized her; it was here that Ling Jingyuan met the woman he wanted to possess for life.

I miss her, I want to go back soon, I want to see her, I want her.

Thinking of Jiang Zhi, Ling Jingyuan's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, and the look in his eyes softened a bit.

The car arrived at the hotel quickly.

Ling Jingyuan got on the elevator, but he didn't notice a gaze following him closely from not far away.

The woman on the plane, who bore a resemblance to Jiang Zhi, had a slightly brightened gaze as she looked at the information about Ling Jingyuan on her phone and dragged her luggage up to another elevator.

This woman was none other than Jiang Zhina's half-sister, Jiang Shihhan.

Jiang Fenglin's most beloved youngest daughter.

Ever since she found out that Jiang Zhi's boyfriend was Ling Jingyuan, she felt extremely unbalanced.

Why should I?!

How did Jiang Zhi manage to find such an exceptional man as Ling Jingyuan?! Jiang Zhi, what makes her so special?

Jiang Zhi, she's inferior to me in every way, how could she possibly find a man like that!

That's Ling Jingyuan, the president of the Ling Group!

Because of Jiang Zhi's mother, she and her mother had no official status for so many years. Now that she finally has the status of a young lady of the Jiang family, she doesn't want Jiang Zhi to live a better life than her!

She wants to take everything from her!

Whether it's a father or a man, especially an outstanding man like Ling Jingyuan and the wife of the president of Ling Corporation.

Jiang Zhi doesn't deserve her!

Thinking of the instructions Jiang Fenglin and her mother gave her before this trip, that if they could win over Ling Jingyuan, they would never have to worry for the rest of their lives.

"Heh heh, Jiang Zhi, just you wait!"

"Ling Jingyuan, this man will be mine soon."

hotel room.

Ling Jingyuan had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when the doorbell rang.

He frowned slightly as he walked to the door and opened it, only to be immediately embraced by a soft, delicate figure. His face turned ugly, and a chilling aura instantly ignited around him.

"roll."

Ling Jingyuan forcefully pulled away from the woman who was tightly hugging him and sensed something was wrong; something was wrong with his body.

The woman he had pushed away slowly raised her head, her face, which bore a resemblance to Jiang Zhi's, carrying a captivating allure.

"Ling Jingyuan, it's me, Jiang Zhi. I missed you so much!"

Ling Jingyuan felt dizzy; something was definitely wrong with his body. Something was wrong! Something was wrong!

He's been set up!

Is it that glass of wine?

He looked at the woman not far away, dressed scantily, with a pitiful yet seductive expression. Looking at her feigned innocence and that familiar face, he bit his lip hard.

She is not Jiang Zhi!

Jiang Shih-Han came prepared this time; her parents had planned everything for her.

This man spent a fortune to win over Ling Jingyuan this time. He not only hired a private investigator to check Ling Jingyuan's schedule, but also bribed someone to drug Ling Jingyuan.

She even bribed the media so that once she and Ling Jingyuan had a relationship, the news that Ling Jingyuan had spent the night with her would be known to everyone the next day, and she would be portrayed as an innocent victim.

She plays the role of the sister-in-law who was mistaken for someone else by Ling Jingyuan when he was drunk.

She's a natural at playing the innocent; once tonight's over, Ling Jingyuan will be hers.

She understood Jiang Zhi; she knew that Ling Jingyuan wouldn't forgive this man after spending the night with her, and that they wouldn't have a future together.

"Jingyuan, it's me, Jiang Zhi. Are you feeling unwell? Let me help you, okay?"

As Jiang Shihhan watched Ling Jingyuan's consciousness grow increasingly blurred, the look in her eyes grew brighter. This was Ling Jingyuan!

Although she had had many boyfriends, none of them could compare to the man in front of her. Her gaze swept over Ling Jingyuan's chest and abs, her eyes filled with a glint of desire.

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward and reached out to hug Ling Jingyuan's waist.

Ling Jingyuan felt like his body was about to explode. He looked at the woman approaching him and almost instinctively raised his foot and kicked her with all his might.

Jiang Shihhan was surprised by Ling Jingyuan's strong will and strength. She was kicked hard and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Ling Jingyuan's breathing became heavy, and he looked fiercely at the woman who had been kicked to the ground, his voice filled with intense anger.

"You're asking for it!"
