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

"Li Rui, come right now!"

Ling Jingyuan finished the call with trembling hands, then went into the bathroom with bloodshot eyes and turned on the cold water to soak himself.

Li Rui arrived quickly, and upon seeing the woman groaning on the ground and Ling Jingyuan's obviously strange expression, he instantly understood what had happened.

"Boss, I'll handle it right now."

Jiang Shihan, who was on the ground, was ruthlessly dragged away by the two bodyguards brought by Li Rui. Twenty minutes later, Ling Jingyuan was given the antidote by the doctor who arrived.

Ling Jingyuan's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

He couldn't imagine that if he hadn't been strong enough to touch that woman, Jiang Zhi would definitely not forgive him.

He knew Jiang Zhi, this little woman, all too well. She appeared gentle and obedient on the surface, with a good temper, but in reality, she was incredibly stubborn and resolute.

If he crosses her principles, then there will truly be no future for them!

It's the Jiang family! It's Jiang Fenglin!

That's suicidal! How dare they scheme against him!

"Li Rui, go investigate and find out the truth about this!"

"I don't want the Jiang family to exist in Beijing anymore."

Li Rui paused slightly upon hearing this, and then he understood what his boss meant.

The Jiang family is truly brainless, their heads are full of dog shit.

How dare they scheme against their own boss? See, they're finished!

It's getting cold; the Jiang family is going bankrupt!

"Okay, boss, I'll get right on it."

Ling Jingyuan nodded upon hearing this, then glanced at the room with disdain and spoke coldly.

"Let's go to the castle."

Originally, he planned to stay at the castle in the last few days of his trip, but after this incident, Ling Jingyuan really hated these hotels.

An hour later, the group arrived at Ling Jingyuan's manor castle.

After all that fuss, Ling Jingyuan lay exhausted on the luxurious bed.

He lay in bed, looking at the bedroom. Perhaps it was the lingering effects of the medication in his body, or perhaps it was the familiarity of the room, but he thought of his first sweet moment with Jiang Zhi here.

He felt his body getting hot again, and his breathing became heavier and heavier out of control.

Ling Jingyuan missed Jiang Zhi terribly, so much so that he felt like his body was about to explode.

Ling Jingyuan took off his clothes and picked up his phone as he went into the bathroom.

Jiang Zhigang had just returned from the office and sat down on the sofa. She had only rested for a few minutes when her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a video call from Ling Jingyuan.

She glanced at the time and realized it should be midnight for Ling Jingyuan. Why was he calling at this hour?

Did something happen?

She quickly opened the video and saw a bathroom with the sound of water and a man's heavy breathing.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback and didn't see Ling Jingyuan. When she realized what the voice was, her face instantly turned red.

It's not her fault, it's just that the man's voice was too alluring, it was almost unfair!

"Ling, Ling Jingyuan?"

Jiang Zhi blushed and called out softly. After a long while, Ling Jingyuan's handsome face, which was both devilish and incredibly striking, appeared in the video.

"Jiang Zhi".

Ling Jingyuan suddenly appeared in the video, standing shirtless under the showerhead, letting the water mist surround him.

Those sexy eyes, with slightly reddened corners and a deep desire in them, stared straight at Jiang Zhi.

Even through the screen, Jiang Zhi could feel the intense aggression and possessiveness in the man's eyes. Ling Jingyuan's gaze seemed to want to kiss her entire body through the phone screen.

Jiang Zhi blushed even more under Ling Jingyuan's gaze, and her voice became somewhat soft.

"Ling, Ling Jingyuan, what brings you here so late?"

Just as Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she heard a seductive groan from the phone. Then, she saw Ling Jingyuan's expression, which seemed to be a mixture of pain and pleasure. He stared straight at Jiang Zhi in the video, his eyes seemingly holding a captivating allure.

"Jiang Zhi, I miss you so much."

"I think about everything, and it makes me feel awful."

Jiang Zhi paused slightly upon hearing this, her face turning even redder. It was no wonder she overthought things; the man's words were simply too ambiguous.

"Jiang Zhi, can you kiss me?"

In the video, Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with deep eyes and a pitiful expression. His gaze fell on Jiang Zhi's red lips, and he couldn't help but gently lick his own cold lips.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi felt her face burning even hotter. She felt that Ling Jingyuan was trying to seduce her.

"Baby, I miss you so much. Can you kiss me?"

Seeing that Jiang Zhi was silent, Ling Jingyuan's breathing became heavier and he spoke again in a low voice.

Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment, glanced at the time, and whispered shyly and softly, "You, you close your eyes."

Jiang Zhi eventually softened, looking at Ling Jingyuan's pitiful, wet eyes in the video, which seemed just like the big dog she used to have.

She couldn't refuse.

Jiang Zhi brought her phone closer, her face slightly flushed, and gently closed her eyes, lightly kissing Ling Jingyuan's thin lips on the screen. Ling Jingyuan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze deep and terrifying, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

"It's late, you should get some rest. I'm hanging up now."

After glancing at the video, Jiang Zhi noticed Ling Jingyuan's intensely intense gaze. Her face flushed, and she quickly hung up the phone.

She gently patted her burning face, got up, poured herself a glass of cold water, and drank it down in large gulps.

Ling Jingyuan is such a captivating man.

Manor, castle, bathroom.

Ling Jingyuan's lips curled slightly as he watched the video being hung up. The sound of water and the man's panting continued unabated in the bathroom.

Jiang Zhi didn't take this little incident to heart.

In the following days, Ling Jingyuan seemed to be very busy and did not contact her.

Jiang Zhi knew that Ling Jingyuan was very busy, so she didn't bother him and just focused on her own things.

That day, she received a call from her good friend Shen Yutong. As soon as the call connected, she heard Shen Yutong's excited and cheerful voice.

"Zhibao, I have good news for you."

Jiang Zhi was puzzled upon hearing this. "What good news? Has your novel been published? Or has it been made into a short drama?"

Shen Yutong paused slightly. Although this was indeed her goal, this time it wasn't about her.

"No, it's about you."

"Me?" Jiang Zhi asked, puzzled.

Shen Yutong's voice was full of excitement and gossip: "Your stepfather, stepmother, and stepsister—the Jiang family—went bankrupt!"

"I don't know what happened, but the Jiang family, who bullied you, suddenly went bankrupt. The Jiang family is finished."

"Serves him right, he can't even be a decent human being, he deserves it."

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Had Jiang Fenglin's family gone bankrupt?

Before Jiang Zhi could react, Shen Yutong's voice came again, "I heard it was the Ling family that did it, and I also heard that your stepfather and stepmother have already fled the country in disgrace."

Jiang Zhi hung up the phone in a daze. She barely heard what Shen Yutong said afterward; all she knew was that the Jiang family was finished.

It's Ling Jingyuan. What did Ling Jingyuan find out? Was it for her?

Or is it for some other reason?

Before Jiang Zhi could think any further, his phone rang again.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the phone and realized it was Ling's mother calling. She snapped out of her daze and immediately answered the call.
