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

Zhou Siye watched Lin Li's resolute departure, but he did not chase after her.

What should we say if we chase after them?

Can he give her love, marriage, or children?

Zhou Siye's eyes were deep; Lin Li's words today had indeed shocked him. He had never known that Lin Li's feelings for him had reached this point.

He knew he was Lin Li's first man, so for the past three years, she had been the only woman by his side.

Marriage, children?

Thinking of Lin Li's words and the calm look in her eyes when she left, Zhou Siye felt a faint pang of sorrow in his heart.

He was with Lin Li.....

On the taxi.

Lin Li lowered her head, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

In the end, she was greedy; even though she knew it was impossible, she still clung to a sliver of hope.

Zhou Siye doesn't like her at all. She has never thought of her in his world. She should have known this a long time ago, but why does she still feel heartache and pain?

Tears fell uncontrollably.

Lin Li covered her eyes with her hand, silently shedding tears.

hotel.

Zhou Siye's eyes darkened as he thought of Lin Li's departing figure, and his cold expression grew even colder.

The phone rang urgently and loudly at that moment. Zhou Siye frowned, picked up the phone, and after a long while, he hung up.

Zhou Siye took a deep breath, found Lin Li's profile picture, hesitated for a long time, and then sent her a message.

[Zhou Siye: Lin Li, give me some time. I will think about what you have to say.]

After sending the message, Zhou Siye dialed the driver's number. "We'll be heading back to Beijing in five minutes."

"Lin Li, give me some time."

Zhou Siye spoke in a low voice, as if he were speaking to Lin Li, but also as if he were speaking to himself.

At this moment, Lin Li was in a taxi. She gently wiped away her tears and closed her eyes wearily.

Liking Zhou Siye was too exhausting, so she gave up.

She never wanted to like him again.

hospital.

Lin's mother brought a glass of warm water to Lin's father. She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Seeing this, Lin's father looked at his wife and said in a deep voice.

"Honey, are you thinking about our baby?"

Hearing this, Lin's mother nodded slightly and sat down beside Lin's father's bed. "When Nannan came back this time, I always felt that she was unhappy. Although she hid it very well, I could still tell that she was unhappy."

"Our little girl has grown up and doesn't tell us anything anymore."

After thinking for a moment, she glanced at Lin's father and said, "Our daughter likes that man named Zhou Siye."

Lin's father did not speak upon hearing this, although Lin Li later explained her relationship with Zhou Siye and stated that he had only said that to help her out of a difficult situation that day.

But they know their own daughter best, and as parents, they could easily tell that something was wrong with her when she came back this time.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, they can't offer any help and can only pretend they don't know anything about Lin Li's feelings. It's good that she's back; having her by their side puts their minds at ease.

Mr. Lin: "Since our daughter doesn't want to talk about this, we'll pretend we don't know anything."

Lin's mother nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, I know."

The couple only had one daughter, and no matter what, they only hoped that their daughter could be safe and happy; they asked for nothing else.

Country F.

Jiang Zhi was kept in the castle by Ling Jingyuan and abused for two whole days. During these two days, she finally witnessed the old man's madness; she hardly left her room.

It wasn't until the third day that Ling Jingyuan finally let her go, satisfied.

Looking at the refreshed and beaming man, Jiang Zhi really wanted to kick him off the bed. She had rushed over worried he was sick, only to find herself completely innocent and helpless.

As Jiang Zhi watched the energetic man rubbing his aching back, she had only one thought: she had to go back to China immediately.

She couldn't stay there any longer; she felt her back was going to give way.

So after resting for two days, Jiang Zhi boarded Ling Jingyuan's private plane and returned to China.

Parking lot at Jiangzhijia residential complex.

in the car.

Jiang Zhi unbuckled her seatbelt and tried to get out of the car, but Ling Jingyuan grabbed her and then her lips were fiercely sealed with his.

"Mmm!"

The man's kiss was forceful and intense, as if he wanted to devour Jiang Zhi.

After a long while, the man reluctantly released Jiang Zhi's lips. His deep eyes seemed to have hooks in them as he stared straight at Jiang Zhi.

"Jiang Zhi, are you really not letting me go up?"

Jiang Zhi's body went limp from the man's kiss, and she nodded immediately with a blush on her face.

No, she can't let him come home with her, or she'll never want to live with her back again!

"Ling Jingyuan, you can't go back on your word. You promised me."

Jiang Zhi's voice was still a little soft, but her face was full of vigilance as she looked at Ling Jingyuan. Ling Jingyuan smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Okay, the kitten didn't take the bait.

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with a hint of resentment and a touch of helplessness in his eyes, and couldn't help but kiss her soft lips again.

Having a girlfriend who isn't clingy is such a headache!

He wished Jiang Zhi could stick to him 24/7, but unfortunately, his girlfriend was very rational.

"Ling Jingyuan, listen to me and go home to rest early, okay?"

Jiang Zhi's heart softened when she saw Ling Jingyuan's pitiful yet resentful gaze, and she couldn't help but coax him softly.

"Girlfriend, give me a kiss."

Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly upon hearing this, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment but still kissed him. Ling Jingyuan took the initiative and deepened the kiss by holding the back of Jiang Zhi's neck.

After a long time, Ling Jingyuan finally let go of Jiang Zhi. His eyes were full of smiles as he held Jiang Zhi's hand and spoke softly.

"Fu Libai is treating us to dinner tomorrow. Go home and get some rest tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh, by the way, your good friend Shen Yutong will be there too."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi's eyes lit up and she nodded gently. "Okay, then I'm leaving. Drive carefully and get some rest when you get home."

Ling Jingyuan squeezed Jiang Zhi's hand reluctantly: "Baby, are you really not letting me go up?"

Jiang Zhi bit her lip, resolutely shook her head, and refused to look at Ling Jingyuan's alluring gaze.

Her back was still sore. "I'm going up now, bye-bye."

Jiang Zhi hurriedly left a sentence and got out of the car, her departing figure showing a hint of haste and panic.

Ling Jingyuan watched Jiang Zhi's retreating figure and chuckled softly until he could no longer see her. Only then did he slowly turn his gaze away. It seemed that his crazy antics over the past two days had frightened her.

But he simply couldn't resist her sweetness.

Okay, let's give her a day off first.

Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, he slightly curled his lips, started the car, and drove away.

Jiang Zhi returned home and slumped onto the sofa.

As the saying goes, there's no place like home.

A true saying.

Jiang Zhi felt refreshed after returning to her own little home, and even her back, which had been aching from Ling Jingyuan's antics, felt better.

Thinking of Ling Jingyuan, Jiang Zhi felt a warmth in her heart.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Jiang Zhi glanced at the number and a smile spread across her face. "Feeding Yutong."

Then Shen Yutong's energetic voice came through, "My darling, I miss you so much! Ling Jingyuan told you, right? Don't forget tomorrow, see you tomorrow."

"Yes, he said, see you tomorrow." Jiang Zhi smiled gently and nodded upon hearing this.

The two chatted briefly before hanging up. Jiang Zhi tidied up and went to bed early.

Fu Libai probably considered that Ling Jingyuan and Jiang Zhigang would be jet-lagged when they returned, so the gathering was arranged as dinner.

In the afternoon, Ling Jingyuan arrived at Jiang Zhi's house on time after finishing his work. When the two arrived at the location Fu Libai had arranged, they found that the other two were already there.

As soon as Shen Yutong saw Jiang Zhi, her eyes lit up and she immediately went up and hugged him, overjoyed.

Fu Libai frowned slightly upon seeing this, feeling somewhat jealous.

Jiang Zhi nodded slightly to Fu Libai. After the two greeted each other, Jiang Zhi was pulled aside by Shen Yutong to chat.

Ling Jingyuan and Fu Libai sat on one side, their eyes both turning to the two women whispering to each other on the other side, their lips unconsciously curving upwards.

Fu Libai glanced at the time and then looked at Ling Jingyuan, "Where's Si Ye? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Ling Jingyuan shook his head upon hearing this; he had been notified in the group chat that he should be arriving soon.

The moment he finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open, revealing Zhou Siye in a black bespoke suit, his cold expression seemingly even colder than usual.

Looking at Zhou Siye like this, Fu Libai couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Dude, you look a little pitiful."
