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

At 10 p.m., Jiang Zhi pushed her suitcase out of the airport and got into a taxi.

Forty minutes later, she returned to the apartment complex, exhausted. She entered the password, turned on the lights, and saw a simple and cozy three-bedroom apartment.

Jiang Zhi quickly found a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. After taking off her clothes, she saw that her originally fair and delicate skin was covered with marks left by men.

Densely packed, with varying shades.

The marks on his chest and waist were particularly horrific.

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly as the memories of last night flashed clearly through her mind.

Thinking of the passionate scenes from last night, Jiang Zhi bit her lip slightly and shook her head vigorously. Last night, she was drowsy and uncomfortable due to the effects of the drug, and if she remembered correctly, she had almost scratched that man's back to pieces.

Jiang Zhi glanced down at the marks on her body and decided to call it even.

With the showerhead turned on, Jiang Zhi let it wash her thoroughly before carefully cleaning herself and then leaving the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.

She had already made a phone call for herself when she left the castle. She was twenty-five years old and had never been in a relationship or slept with a man before.

She needs to take responsibility for herself.

She had heard that wealthy young men were very extravagant, so she didn't dare to be careless. Even though she saw the small umbrella in the trash can in the morning, she still bought herself emergency medicine out of concern.

She doesn't like to cause trouble for herself.

After setting the alarm, Jiang Zhi turned off the light and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

She was tormented by the man almost all night last night, and then woke up early this morning. She then went to get ready to catch her flight and hasn't been able to get back until now.

Jiang Zhi was so tired that she slept soundly without thinking about anything else.

………………

Country F, ancient castle.

Ling Jingyuan stood by the window, holding a glass of red wine, his eyes deep and unfathomable. His flight was originally scheduled for the night, but it was canceled due to heavy rain, so he would have to leave the next morning.

He thought about how he woke up in the morning with his arms completely empty.

The woman he had such a passionate encounter with last night is gone!

She took advantage of him and then just ran away?!

She clearly recognized him last night when she was dazed from the Chinese medicine, she clearly knew him and who he was, but she still ran away so spectacularly after sleeping with him?

And they left so decisively and cleanly!

It seems she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore!

Ling Jingyuan took an elegant sip of the red wine in his glass, thinking of the fine, aching pain on his back that a certain woman had scratched while he was showering in the bathroom earlier that day.

The man lowered his eyes and downed the remaining red wine in his glass in one gulp. "Jiang Zhi..."

Ling Jingyuan put down the cup in his hand and quickly turned around and went to the bathroom.

The man, having removed his bathrobe, displayed irregular scratches on his light tan skin, revealing his chest and abdominal muscles. Most striking of all were the row of bite marks on his sexy collarbone.

Fine droplets of water fell, lightly hitting the man's strong and powerful chest, then cascading down his waist and abdomen, down to his deadly and sexy V-line, before slowly descending further. Ling Jingyuan looked down at the scratches on his body, and the erotic scenes from last night flashed vividly through his mind...

The man's eyes were deep; the image of that woman's purity and desire from last night seemed to be right before his eyes.

The thought of these men's bodies immediately aroused Ling Jingyuan's reaction, and he breathed heavily, muffled his voice by the sound of water.

After a long while, the man emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a loosely draped bathrobe, tied only at the waist with a single belt. Water droplets glistened on his exposed chest. His slightly disheveled hair still held moisture, and he exuded an air of noble, languid, and alluring charm.

The man reached for his phone and glanced at the marks on his body. Suddenly, he turned on the camera and took several pictures of the marks, especially a few close-ups of the row of bite marks on his neck and collarbone.

He glanced at the photos and was quite satisfied; one should always keep a record of their first experience.

After all, it was someone's doing, and I'm afraid that woman might deny it after taking advantage of it, so I need to be prepared and keep some evidence.

The man casually tossed his phone aside, turned off the light, and slowly closed his eyes. In the darkness, he slightly curled the corners of his lips and murmured softly.

"Jiang Zhi, I look forward to seeing you again..."

Domestically, Jiang Zhijia.

Jiang Zhi slept until she woke up naturally, and when she woke up, the fatigue and soreness in her body had improved a lot.

She glanced at the time; it was 11:00 AM. Today was the last day of her annual leave, and she had to go back to work tomorrow. She had booked an appointment for 1:00 PM, hoping to get a check-up while she was off work today to put her mind at ease.

After a quick wash, I cooked a bag of frozen dumplings, ate them, and finished cleaning up around noon.

It takes her twenty minutes to drive to the hospital, and then she has to wait in line.

After arriving at the hospital, she queued up for X-rays and underwent a series of tests. The female doctor said everything was normal, but she also gave her a somewhat gossipy reminder to be careful and not to be too vigorous during sex. She prescribed some medication and sent her home.

Jiang Zhi left the hospital with the ointment, her face flushed. That man was really...

Jiang Zhigang had just gotten into the car and was about to start it when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Wang Cong, the design department manager. She frowned slightly and answered the call.

"Hey, Jiang Zhi, you're back in China, right?"

"Come to the company at 8:30 tomorrow morning to go to the Ling Group headquarters to report on the Jingwan CBD lighting plan. There are still some issues with the plan that need to be adjusted. I sent it to your email. Please adjust it tonight and send it back to me."

"Did you hear that?"

Seeing that Jiang Zhi didn't speak, the man raised his voice slightly, his tone becoming more impatient.

"Okay, I got it. I'm driving, I'm hanging up now." Jiang Zhi said and quickly hung up the phone.

The man on the other end of the line looked at the phone that had been hung up, his face darkening, a glint of darkness flashing in his narrow eyes.

This Jiang Zhi, relying on her looks and abilities, actually doesn't respect him, the design manager. He's hinted to her several times that as long as she obediently listens to him, he'll ensure she has a comfortable life at the company.

But this woman, though seemingly gentle and easy to talk to, was actually quite stubborn.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man smiled wickedly; the more she acted this way, the more he wanted to conquer her.

Jiang Zhi hung up the phone with a somewhat unpleasant expression. This design department manager, relying on his seniority, had a certain amount of influence in the company and was suppressing them, the lead designers.

What Jiang Zhi disliked most was the way this old man would occasionally look at her.

Several times when she went out with him to present proposals, the client would invite her to dinner afterwards, and he would intentionally or unintentionally say things that made her uncomfortable.

He would occasionally try to take advantage of her unintentionally, and although she always managed to defuse the situation, Jiang Zhi disliked him very much.

Thinking of this, she frowned, started the car, and drove home.

Tomorrow's report requires revisions to the plan tonight, and I don't know how late I'll have to work overtime.

Twenty minutes later, the first thing she did when she got home was to turn on her computer and review the entire plan, only to find that they were all minor, insignificant issues.

She created this plan, and the changes that need to be made now were added by Wang Cong himself later.

Jiang Zhi frowned, but still began to revise it carefully.

She put a lot of effort into this project. She is the lead designer, but for such large projects in the company, the person in charge of reporting and coordinating is still the company manager. So tomorrow she will probably just be there as an accessory.

But seeing that her hard work was going to meet the client tomorrow, she was still a little excited.

The Jingwan District CBD is a cluster of buildings that will become a landmark in the area once completed. If her lighting design is approved, she will have a representative work. Although she has done many projects in the past three years, she has never had one of this scale and level.

After revising the plan, Jiang Zhi sent it to Wang Cong, who quickly replied that there were no problems.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the time, quickly washed up, and went to bed early, as she had to get up early the next day.

The next day, Jiang Zhi arrived at the company early. Wang Cong was dressed in a formal suit, clearly showing that he attached great importance to this project.

The group arrived at the headquarters of the Ling Group, and for some reason, Jiang Zhi suddenly had a bad feeling.

In the huge conference room, a group of them had prepared the plan in advance and were quietly waiting for the client. Soon, the senior executives of Ling's Group entered the conference room one after another.

Just as Jiang Zhi thought it was time to begin, the conference room door was opened and a tall, imposing figure walked in. After taking his seat, the person's gaze swept lightly over Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback when she saw the person who had arrived: He was here too?
