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

Jiang Zhi was woken up by her cell phone ringing the next day. She groggily opened her eyes and reached for her phone on the cabinet.

It was a call from my friend Shen Yutong. "Hello, Yutong."

Her voice was still a little hoarse when she answered the phone. Shen Yutong chuckled softly, "Oh, my sister's still not awake?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi sensed the amusement in her friend's words. Her face flushed slightly as she glanced at the bed and realized that Ling Jingyuan was no longer there.

"Yeah, I just woke up. What's up? Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing Jiang Zhi's words, Shen Yutong knew that she hadn't checked the group chat messages last night. "I sent a message in the group last night, inviting Sister Lin Li to go shopping today. Do you have time?"

Without hesitation, Jiang Zhi replied, "Sure, I have time. What time?"

The two agreed on a time and place, and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Zhi got up and slowly got out of bed; her back was still a little sore.

She can't stay with Ling Jingyuan today, otherwise she doesn't know when she'll be tempted by him to goof around with him again. She has to go to work tomorrow.

It's been a few days since I've seen my friends, so it's good to go out and get together.

Jiang Zhi knew that both couples and lovers needed their own space and independent time.

Besides being in a romantic relationship with Ling Jingyuan, she also has her own life and her own friends.

Jiang Zhi quickly changed her clothes and then went into the bathroom to wash up.

When she finished getting ready and came to the living room, she saw Ling Jingyuan coming out of the kitchen with a plate of colorful shrimp in his hand.

"Perfect timing, let's eat."

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with a smile, and Jiang Zhi couldn't help but admire the energetic man.

This man has amazing energy!

The two sat down at the dining table. Jiang Zhi picked up her chopsticks and looked at Ling Jingyuan. "Yu Tong just called and invited me and Sister Lin Li to get together later. I'll go over after dinner."

Ling Jingyuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Then I'll take you there later."

Jiang Zhi was surprised that Ling Jingyuan was so generous this time. She smiled gently and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, sure."

After they finished talking, they started eating. After finishing their meal, they tidied up and went out.

After delivering Jiang Zhi to the place where she was supposed to meet Shen Yutong, they happened to see Fu Libai, who was also there to see someone off.

The two watched the two women leave hand in hand, chatting and laughing, and silently withdrew their gazes. Fu Libai glanced at Ling Jingyuan with a faint smile, "Want to go to my place?"

Ling Jingyuan nodded upon hearing this, and the two got into their respective cars and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Not long after the two left, a taxi stopped at the spot, and soon a bright and beautiful woman got out of the car. Lin Li quickly entered the mall while replying to messages.

Zhou Siye's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Lin Li's reply; she had refused his invitations for the past two days.

So this is what it feels like to be rejected?

So this is what it means to have your feelings unrequited. He couldn't help but think of Lin Li's seven years of waiting for him, and he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

I'm starting to feel sorry for that silly woman, Lin Li!

Thinking of what Lin Li had said before, about marriage, identity, and even children, Zhou Siye's dark eyes deepened.

It seems he needs to go back to the old house!

Without hesitation, Zhou Siye made a phone call and immediately returned to the old house.

Once he recognized that he possessed Lin Li and that she was different from him, he would never let go of her.

The so-called year was only meant for Lin Li.

In his eyes, Lin Li must still be his woman, or rather, he is now more willing to realize the new identities that Lin Li mentioned.

Previously, he didn't realize that he felt any woman would be acceptable as a wife in a marriage alliance with another man, but that's no longer the case!

Now, all he wants is Lin Li.

Thinking of Lin Li, a hint of tenderness appeared in Zhou Siye's usually cold and stern black eyes.

Zhou's old house.

After Zhou Siye came out of the Zhou family's old house, he looked a little more relaxed, glanced at the three-person group chat on his phone, replied to a message, and then got into the car.

Inside a private room at the club.

Fu Libai and Ling Jingyuan were chatting when the door was pushed open and Zhou Siye walked in.

Upon seeing him, Fu Libai couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Why are you so late? What have you been up to?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye walked over to the sofa and sat down. "I went to the old house and just got back."

Fu Libai glanced at the three grown men and couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, you all have girlfriends or wives, so how come the three of us look like bachelors!"

The other two exchanged a glance upon hearing this. Ling Jingyuan looked helpless; he had no choice but to obey his wife's orders.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye seemed to have guessed something. It turned out that the woman Lin Li had said she had an appointment today, which was with her friends Shen Yutong and Jiang Zhi.

Ling Jingyuan looked at Zhou Siye, who seemed to be in a good mood, and asked with a faint smile, "What's the situation between you and Lin Li now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye's dark eyes were filled with domineering and determined intent: "Still chasing."

Fu Libai looked at the two of them with a gossipy, smiling, and slightly boastful expression: "Alright, you two hurry up!"

"I don't want my baby to be born before you two even hear the news! Don't fall too far behind me; I don't want my son or daughter to have no playmates after they're born."

Ling Jingyuan: ...

Gu Siye: ...

The two exchanged a glance, finding Fu Libai's smug expression inexplicably irritating!

the other side.

After Jiang and the other two gathered, they went for a walk in the street.

Shen Yutong is a restless girl, and she's pregnant now, so Fu Li is very strict with her every day. She can't let this rare opportunity to be out with her best friend go to waste.

The three of them first went to a baby supplies store.

Although only Shen Yutong was pregnant, when they arrived at the baby supplies store and saw the adorable baby products and clothes, the hearts of all three women melted.

Everyone browsed and selected items in the store, having a great time.

When women go shopping, they're looking for a feeling and an atmosphere.

Especially with her sisters by her side, the three women made a drama. Although Lin Li hadn't known Jiang Zhi and Shen Yutong for long, she had a great personality and quickly integrated into their relationship.

Considering Shen Yutong's pregnancy, the three of them strolled around for a while and then rested.

Finally, when Shen Yutong got tired of walking around and complained of being hungry, the three of them found a restaurant.

Shen Yutong only felt nauseous and vomited when she first found out she was pregnant, but she doesn't have those symptoms at all now. On the contrary, her appetite is very good now, and she has a good appetite every day.

After ordering, Shen Yutong looked at the bright and beautiful Lin Li and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Sister Lin Li, how are things going between you and our CEO Zhou lately?"

"Did our CEO Zhou finally win back his wife after her arduous pursuit?"

Lin Li was slightly taken aback when she heard this. It took her a moment to understand what Shen Yutong meant, and she smiled as she looked at the curious Shen Yutong.

"A wife-chasing nightmare?"

Shen Yutong was afraid that Lin Li wouldn't understand, so she explained it to her in detail. Lin Li smiled helplessly after listening.

"Hmm, so if that's the case, then they're still chasing it."

Shen Yutong nodded upon hearing this, glancing slyly at Lin Li. "That's right, Sister Lin Li, you can't spoil a man like that. Let him pursue you for a while!"

Lin Li thought of Zhou Siye's bright face, his charming expression, and his alluring smile.

"Alright! Let him pursue it at his own pace!"
