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

A warm room in winter.

Sunlight playfully streamed through the windows, casting its rays onto the floor inside.

On the spacious and luxurious bed, lovers embraced sweetly. Even without uttering a word, a warm and sweet atmosphere filled the air.

Ling Jingyuan lowered his head and couldn't help but place a gentle kiss on Jiang Zhi's forehead.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of a lyric he had heard before: "Every day you and the sunshine are there, that's the future I want."

Ling Jingyuan didn't understand this statement before, but now he does and even strongly agrees with it.

He wanted to hold Jiang Zhi every night and say goodnight to her, and greet her with good morning in the sunlight. He wanted her for the rest of his life, even if there was no sunlight in the future, because with her, she would be his light.

Ling Jingyuan's gaze was deep, and the affection in his eyes was undeniable. He knew that he had fallen for Jiang Zhi the moment he first saw her.

He was never a good person, and he did not deny that he had used a lot of tricks and schemes along the way with Jiang Zhi.

He was determined to get Jiang Zhi.

Even without that night in the castle, he was destined to become entangled with her.

He only wants her.

"Should we get up?"

Ling Jingyuan gently tucked a stray hair behind Jiang Zhi's ear and asked affectionately.

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this. "What time is it now?"

Ling Jingyuan glanced at the clock on the bedside table. "Eleven o'clock."

Jiang Zhi was somewhat surprised that she had slept until eleven o'clock.

She couldn't help but glance at Ling Jingyuan, a hint of coquettishness in her eyes as if she were complaining.

Seeing Jiang Zhi's alluring appearance, Ling Jingyuan smiled slightly and couldn't help but lower his head to embrace her and kiss her again.

Jiang Zhi had no idea how alluring her appearance and gaze were, especially since he was already sensitive early in the morning and couldn't resist her seduction.

"Ling... Jingyuan..., I need to... get up."

Jiang Zhi was somewhat helpless; indeed, there was a clear difference in physical strength between men and women.

She's still sore all over from last night's ordeal.

But looking at Ling Jingyuan, he showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever; he seemed even more radiant than a fox spirit who had absorbed some vital energy.

And she was the one whose true energy was drained!

It's true that you can't compare people; comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

Ling Jingyuan played with Jiang Zhi for a while, then stopped teasing her. The two got up and washed up, and by the time Jiang Zhi finished washing up, the meal Ling Jingyuan had ordered from the private chef restaurant had arrived.

The two were eating at the dinner table.

Ling Jingyuan was in a good mood and looked at his wife with an irrepressible smile in his eyes. "Honey, Mom wants us to go to the old house this afternoon. She said she has a gift for you after she comes back from her trip."

Jiang Zhi paused slightly upon hearing this. She had also bought gifts for Ling Jingyuan's parents during her business trip. Although they weren't expensive, they were all handmade local intangible cultural heritage products, a small token of her appreciation.

"Yes, I also bought a gift for my uncle and aunt."

Ling Jingyuan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

It turns out everyone else received a gift; he thought he was the only one who did!

After feeling a little jealous for a moment, Ling Jingyuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

It's okay, he's still the most important person to Jiang Zhi!

Look, Jiang Zhi gave him the gift as soon as she saw him. Hmm, it seems he's still the most important person in Jiang Zhi's heart.

Ling Jingyuan silently felt jealous, but secretly comforted himself.

Jiang Zhi was eating earnestly, completely unaware of the convoluted thoughts running through the mind of the man beside her.

After finishing their meal, the two tidied up and drove to the Ling family's old residence.

As soon as the two arrived at the old house, Ms. Zhou smiled broadly upon seeing Jiang Zhi, completely ignoring Ling Jingyuan, and went forward with a smile to pull Jiang Zhi toward the sofa.

Ling Jingyuan: ……

Is he a fake son?

Standing to the side, Ling's father looked tenderly at his wife, then slowly looked away at Ling Jingyuan, who seemed somewhat helpless.

"Jingyuan, come with me to the study."

Ling Jingyuan nodded slightly upon hearing this and followed his father to the study.

Living room, on the sofa.

Ms. Zhou took out an antique box and handed it to Jiang Zhi, saying, "Little Jiang Zhi, this little trinket is for you."

"Try it on quickly, I knew it would suit you the moment I saw it."

As Ms. Zhou spoke, she opened the box and took out a ruby ​​bracelet.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback. Could this thing be very expensive again?

Just as Jiang Zhi was in a daze, she felt a coolness on her wrist and saw that the antique ruby ​​bracelet had been put on her wrist by Ms. Zhou.

Jiang Zhi's skin was already fair, and the dark ruby ​​bracelet stood out on her slender, fair wrist.

Ms. Zhou's smile widened as she saw that Jiang Zhi looked great in the mask; indeed, she had excellent taste.

It suits Jiang Zhi very well and looks great.

"Xiao Jiang Zhi, this suits you perfectly. I was right to have good taste, hahaha."

Jiang Zhi looked at the obviously valuable antique bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but want to refuse, but Ms. Zhou seemed to have guessed her thoughts and looked at her with a smile.

"Little Jiang Zhi, don't say you don't want it, or Auntie will be sad."

"Don't worry, it's not expensive."

"It's a little gadget, you can wear it and play with it."

It's less than 20 million, not worth much money.

Most importantly, she felt the bracelet suited Jiang Zhi perfectly the moment she saw it. And seeing Jiang Zhi wearing it today, Ms. Zhou was once again impressed by her discerning eye.

It suits her perfectly; she looks great.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Auntie, this bracelet is too valuable, I can't accept it."

"It's not expensive, less than two thousand, you can wear it without worry."

Less than two thousand?

Jiang Zhi looked at the antique bracelet on her wrist with suspicion. Was it really that cheap?

Seeing Jiang Zhi's suspicious look, Ms. Zhou couldn't help but laugh and change the subject, "I heard you've been traveling a lot for work lately. Aren't you working too hard every day?"

"I've noticed you've lost weight lately. Stay for dinner tonight and I'll have the kitchen prepare something nourishing for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at Ms. Zhou's concerned expression and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She couldn't help but smile gently and say, "Auntie, I'm fine. I've had more projects lately because many projects need to be completed by the end of the year, so I've been quite busy."

"By the way, Auntie, I brought you and Uncle some small gifts from my business trip."

As Jiang Zhi spoke, she took the two gifts she had bought out of her handbag and handed them to Ms. Zhou. Ms. Zhou was delighted to see this and smiled as she reached out to take the gift boxes.

"You silly child, you're so busy on your business trip, yet you still bought us gifts."

"Thank you, Auntie and Uncle."

Jiang Zhi shook her head somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing this, "Auntie, these are just small gifts and not worth much. I hope you and Uncle like them."

Jiang Zhi had heard Ling Jingyuan say that Ms. Zhou liked to collect handmade wooden dolls, while Ling's father liked to collect handmade machine art pieces.

So during this business trip, Jiang Zhi made a special trip to a local place that sells handmade art.

She bought some local handicrafts for the two of them, and she plans to bring them different gifts whenever she travels to different cities for work.

Ms. Zhou looked at the gift box in her hand, her eyes sparkling like a child's as she looked at Jiang Zhi: "Little Jiang Zhi, can I see the gift?"

Jiang Zhi smiled gently: "Of course, Auntie can."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhou smiled and opened the gift box. When she saw the gift inside, her face was full of genuine smiles, and she really liked the wooden doll artwork.

"Little Jiang, I like it very much, thank you."

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they like it.

study.

Ling's father and Ling Jingyuan were discussing company matters. After they finished talking, they left the study and went to the living room to sit down next to their respective wives.

Seeing this, Ms. Zhou smiled and handed him the gift that Jiang Zhi had given to Ling's father, saying, "Here, this is your gift, from little Jiang Zhi."

Ling's father was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He nodded slightly to Jiang Zhi, took the gift box, opened it, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes as he looked at the gifts inside.

"The gift is nice," Ling's father said to Jiang Zhi in a deep voice.

Jiang Zhi's nervousness gradually disappeared, and Ling's father softly introduced the gift.

Ms. Zhou was playing with the wooden doll in her hand when she suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang Zhi with a smile, saying, "Little Jiang Zhi, it's not long until the Spring Festival. Come to the old house for the Spring Festival this year."

Jiang Zhi paused slightly upon hearing this.

Spring Festival?

She has spent the Spring Festival alone for many years.

Ling's father glanced at Jiang Zhi and said with a faint smile, "Your aunt is right, this is your home too, it's lively when everyone is together."

Ling's father's words made Jiang Zhi feel a little sore.

Family.

She has been homeless since her mother passed away.

Ling Jingyuan reached out and grasped Jiang Zhi's hand, completely enveloping it in his large hand as he gazed deeply at her.

"Girlfriend, can you give me some face?"

Jiang Zhi looked at the three people in the room, her eyes filled with tenderness, and she nodded gently.

This year, she will no longer be spending the Spring Festival alone.
