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

Two men, Wu Lei and Zhou Siye, were standing at the door.

One was Lin Li's high school classmate, and the other was her boss with whom she had been entangled for three years.

Lin Li was stunned for a moment when she saw the two of them; she hadn't expected them to suddenly appear at her doorstep together.

"Lin Li, aren't you going to invite us in?"

Zhou Siye looked at Lin Li, who was wearing an apron, her hair casually tied up, and her expression relaxed and carefree. His dark eyes flickered slightly.

Having grown accustomed to her glamorous and capable professional image at the company, Lin Li's natural and comfortable demeanor offers a refreshing change.

He discovered that every aspect of Lin Li surprised and delighted him.

Two men, each carrying a gift box, stood at the doorway, both looking at her.

In the kitchen, Lin's mother noticed that her daughter had gone to open the door and then stopped making any noise, so she curiously poked her head out and asked.

"Who is that, Nannan?"

Lin Li hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still invited the two of them in.

"Please have a seat."

In the kitchen, Lin's mother was also somewhat surprised to see the two men who came in behind Lin Li.

Why did these two come together?

Lin's mother was an experienced woman; she could easily tell what Wu Lei and that man named Zhou Siye were looking at her daughter.

These two men clearly have feelings for their daughter.

But what about my own daughter?

What was she thinking?

As parents, they won't interfere in matters of the heart; they simply hope that Lin Li will be happy and joyful.

"Nannan, you entertain the guests first, I'll go call your father," Lin's mother said softly to Lin Li, and then went into the bedroom.

Lin Li looked at the two people sitting on the living room sofa and felt a little awkward. She felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

She tried to calm herself down and poured them both a cup of tea. Soon, Lin's father came out and was also somewhat surprised when he saw the two people on the sofa.

But since he was an elder, he quickly calmed down.

Upon seeing Lin's father, Wu Lei smiled politely and took out a bag of medicine from his hand, saying gently, "Uncle, these are some medicines prescribed by my uncle that will help with your recovery."

Hearing this, Lin's mother gratefully accepted the medicine, while Lin's father looked at Wu Lei and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Wu, thank you and your uncle for your trouble. We'll transfer the cost of these medicines to you."

Wu Lei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head, "Uncle, it's not much money, no need, no need."

Seeing this, Lin Li said softly to Wu Lei, "Wu Lei, I'm already very sorry to have troubled you and your uncle, but we must pay for the medicine. Tell me, and I'll transfer it to you via WeChat."

Lin's parents nodded upon hearing this. Zhou Siye, who was standing to the side, looked at Wu Lei, who was smiling gently, and a cold glint flashed in his dark eyes, revealing a jealousy that he himself did not realize.

"Uncle and Aunt, these are some tonics that are good for your health."

After Zhou Siye finished speaking, he placed the pile of gift boxes on the table, but his gaze was fixed on Lin Li.

When Lin Li met the man's gaze, she looked away awkwardly, and her parents both refused.

These things are too valuable; they can't accept them.

Zhou Siye smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Uncle and Aunt, I apologize for the sudden visit today. These things are a token of my appreciation, please accept them."

In the end, the two men successfully stayed.

At the dining table, the two sat on either side of Lin Li.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat strange. After finally finishing the meal, Wu Lei was called away by an emergency call from the hospital.

Lin Li escorted him to the door, and Wu Lei looked at Lin Li with some regret before finally having to leave.

The atmosphere at home became even stranger after Wu Lei left.

When Lin Li returned to the living room, she found that only her mother was there.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

Lin's mother glanced at her daughter as she pulled someone to sit down, then pointed to the study, "Your father and that Zhou Siye went to the study."

After speaking, she looked at Lin Li with tender eyes, gently stroked her hair, and spoke softly.

"Nannan, go back to Beijing and continue pursuing your career and your ideals. Don't come back just because we resigned."

As she spoke, her gaze softened even more. "You're not happy at all back in Suzhou. Your father and I know you're unhappy. You're grown up now and have your own path to follow. There's no need for us parents to cut off your path."

"Just know that your dad and I will always be here, always behind you. When you're tired or weary, Suzhou will always be your home."

Lin's parents knew that Lin Li's return meant starting her career all over the years anew, and most importantly, her heart was still in Beijing.

Beijing is where she has her career and her love life.

Parents always want the best for their children; their happiness is their happiness.

Lin Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Mom, I..."

She thought she had hidden it well enough, but it turned out her parents already knew.

Lin's mother smiled and stroked Lin Li's head, "My dear, your father and I are afraid you'll regret it."

"So go back to Beijing and give yourself a year to figure out what you want. A year later, when you've truly thought it through and let go of what's behind you, your parents will be waiting for you in Suzhou."

Lin Li felt a lump in her throat and hugged her mother tightly.

study.

Zhou Siye and Lin's father talked for a long time before the two of them came out of the study.

Zhou Siye glanced at the time, got up, and said goodbye to Lin's parents. Lin Li looked at Zhou Siye and couldn't help but wonder what this man had said to her father in the study.

What exactly is he here for today?

Lin Li's curiosity was finally piqued as she watched Zhou Siye get up to leave. "Mom and Dad, I'll go see him off."

Lin's parents nodded in agreement, but Lin Li didn't see the barely perceptible smirk that appeared on Zhou Siye's lips.

After the two left, Mr. and Mrs. Lin exchanged a glance and shook their heads slightly.

"My dear, you've really fallen for this man."

Thinking of what Zhou Siye had said in the study, Lin's father said in a deep voice, "Give them a year, so that our daughter will have no regrets."

Lin's mother nodded.

Lin Li and the other person went downstairs and took the elevator to the parking lot.

Zhou Siye's car was parked in the underground parking lot. When the two arrived at the parking lot, Lin Li couldn't help but speak as she watched Zhou Siye get into the car.

"Zhou Siye, what exactly did you and Dad talk about in the study?"

"What exactly do you want from my house today?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye's dark eyes locked onto Lin Li, his gaze moving from her beautiful fox-like eyes to her soft lips.

What does he want to do?

He wanted to sleep with her.

Thinking about how Wu Lei kept reminiscing about their high school days at the dinner table, and the way he kept giving Lin Li those ambiguous glances, he felt annoyed.

Those beautiful times, those youthful years, those memories that belong to Lin Li, he was not among them.

Thinking about this made him feel choked up.

"Want to know?"

Zhou Siye, with his dark eyes and deep, magnetic voice, looked at Lin Li and slowly spoke.

Lin Li certainly wanted to know; she felt a tickling sensation in her heart from the man's advances.

Gossiping is human nature, especially since it concerns her; she really wanted to know.

Having spent the past few years with Lin Li, Zhou Siye knew her well, seeing her as a capable and radiant career woman at work.

In private, she's just like a little girl—curious, gossipy, and adorable.

"Get in the car, and I'll tell you."

After Zhou Siye finished speaking, he opened the car door and got in. He was certain that Lin Li would get in the car.

Lin Li stood outside the car for three seconds, but in the end, curiosity overcame her rationality.

As soon as Lin Li opened the car door and sat down, she was pulled back by a strong arm, and then her lips were kissed fiercely by the man.
