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

Jiang Zhi looked curious. "A hot spring resort?"

"My dad developed a private hot spring resort that only caters to VIPs. The conditions are excellent; it's quiet and comfortable with few people."

"Let's go there for a couple of days, relax and have some time alone together."

Ling Jingyuan's tone carried a hint of anticipation.

The hot spring resort is usually not crowded, and now that it's a holiday, it's even less crowded, which is perfect for him and Jiang Zhi to go on vacation.

Besides, it's a great place for sports.

Upon hearing Ling Jingyuan's words about a private time for two, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but blush slightly, unsure if she was overthinking it.

She nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. Just then, her phone rang.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the phone and saw that it was her friend Shen Yutong calling. She answered the call with a smile in her eyes.

"Hey, Yutong, Happy New Year!"

Shen Yutong's loud and energetic voice came through the phone quickly, "Zhibao, Happy New Year!"

"What are your plans for today? Want to come over to my place?"

Shen Yutong's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and both families are treating her like a national treasure. They don't let her run around, and Shen Yutong is so bored that she can only call Jiang Zhi.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi glanced at Ling Jingyuan and asked, "How long are we staying at the hot spring resort? When are we coming back?"

Ling Jingyuan raised an eyebrow. "Two days. I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Two days? That's a long time?

Are the hot springs at this resort really that therapeutic? Do we have to stay this long?

Suppressing her doubts, Jiang Zhi spoke softly to Shen Yutong on the phone: "Yutong, I went to the hot spring resort with Ling Jingyuan today, and we won't be back until the day after tomorrow."

"Can I come visit you again later?"

Upon hearing this, the bored Shen Yutong immediately sensed the stench of gossip.

A hot spring resort? Staying for two days? A lone man and woman!

This is clearly a couple's getaway!

She was wrong; how could she ruin someone's good time?

Thinking of this, she immediately smiled and said, "My darling, of course!"

"No rush, no rush, you guys take your time having fun. We'll make plans again when you're free."

Have fun! I'm hanging up now, bye!

After saying that, Shen Yutong quickly hung up the phone, afraid of disturbing her friend.

Jiang Zhi felt a little helpless seeing this; her good friend just had such a carefree personality. Ling Jingyuan, who was driving, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly and pressed the accelerator a little harder.

On the other side, Shen Yutong hung up the phone, her cute little face filled with a strong sense of gossip.

Fu Libai, who was standing to the side, handed a plate of snacks to Shen Yutong. Looking at her cute little face, he couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss her lips.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yutong took the pastry, took a bite of the small cake, and looked satisfied.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little bored. I invited Zhibao over, but unfortunately she and her CEO Ling went to the hot springs."

Upon hearing this, Fu Libai looked at Shen Yutong and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Shen Yutong shook her head; she was too pregnant to move.

Looking at Shen Yutong's increasingly large belly, Fu Libai's eyes flashed with heartache and affection.

"Honey, let's keep this one child. Pregnancy is too hard; one child is enough."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yutong realized that although she had no symptoms during her pregnancy and had been eating and drinking well with all her prenatal checkups going smoothly, pregnancy did indeed have an impact on her health.

She doesn't have a crown to inherit, so why have so many children?

One is enough.

She smiled and nodded, leaning gently against Fu Libai's chest, enjoying the service of being fed snacks by the man.

Yes, it's good to keep more love for yourself.

By the time Jiang Zhiling and Jingyuan arrived at the hot spring resort, it was almost noon.

The journey was quite long; it took almost an hour and a half by car.

The warm winter sun shone through the car window. Jiang Zhi was exhausted last night and had gotten up early this morning, so the car was incredibly comfortable. She fell asleep without even realizing it.

After Ling Jingyuan stopped the car, he gently shook her for a long time before she woke up.

She struggled to open her eyes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She's so sleepy right now, she just wants to keep sleeping.

"Have we arrived yet?"

Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with some confusion, and Ling Jingyuan smiled and nodded.

"Are you sleepy?"

Jiang Zhi tried to open her eyes and shook her head slightly, but before she could react, Ling Jingyuan picked her up.

She gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around Ling Jingyuan's neck to maintain her balance. "Ling Jingyuan, put me down."

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly. Not only did he not intend to let go, he mischievously bounced the person closer to his arms.

"Baby, keep sleeping, I'll carry you away."

After saying that, he took a long stride and easily carried the person directly to their room.

After Ling Jingyuan's outburst, Jiang Zhi was no longer sleepy.

Fortunately, there were hardly any people in the hot spring resort, so she could only let Ling Jingyuan hold her.

The two arrived at the room, which was very cozy and had a hot spring pool in the outer courtyard.

Ling Jingyuan put down his bag, gently placed Jiang Zhi down, and glanced at the hot spring outside.

"Soaking in a hot spring for a while can relieve fatigue, and then you can go to sleep."

Jiang Zhi became interested upon hearing this. To be honest, her whole body was still incredibly sore, especially her waist and legs. Last night, Ling Jingyuan was like a man under the influence of drugs, acting wildly.

If it weren't for the need to maintain decorum at the old house this morning, she could have slept until noon.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Ling Jingyuan and nodded slightly.

She wanted to soak in the hot spring for a while, and then catch up on some sleep.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan thoughtfully took her clothes. Jiang Zhi was still feeling grateful for the man's thoughtfulness when she took the clothes and went into the bathroom.

She quickly changed her clothes, then walked out of the bathroom and into the hot spring pool.

The outside environment was a bit chilly, but her body warmed up immediately when she stepped into the hot spring pool, and she relaxed instantly as she was surrounded by the warm water.

At this moment, bathed in the warm sunlight, Jiang Zhi leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool and couldn't help but close her eyes in comfort.

A relaxation for both mind and body.

Ling Jingyuan gazed intently at the captivating figure in the hot spring pool, his eyes darkening slightly as a meaningful smile played on his lips.

Jiang Zhi, who was dozing off in the hot spring with her eyes closed, suddenly felt a burning sensation on her body. She slowly opened her eyes and found that Ling Jingyuan had also entered the hot spring pool at some point.

He picked her up, held her against his chest, gently patted her back, and softly said, "Sleep."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi nodded dazedly, shifted to a more comfortable position, and closed her eyes again.

Soon, Ling Jingyuan discovered that the woman in his arms had fallen asleep.

He lowered his head and locked his gaze on Jiang Zhi's lips, those beautiful little mouths that had uttered those words that had driven him almost mad last night.

She said she loved him.

The more Ling Jingyuan thought about it, the happier he became.

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, he carried Jiang Zhi back to the room, gently changed her into her pajamas, and then lay down on the bed with her in his arms to sleep.

He had important things to do that evening.

Jiang Zhi slept very comfortably, and when she woke up, she found the entire room was dark.

She had just stirred when a deep, husky voice came from beside her: "Awake?"

"Hmm, what time is it? How long have I been asleep?"

Jiang Zhi glanced at the darkness outside the courtyard and asked softly. As the small lamp by the bed was turned on, Ling Jingyuan glanced at the time and smiled faintly.

"It's eight o'clock. You slept all afternoon. Are you well-rested?"

Jiang Zhi was somewhat surprised that she had slept for so long, but she did feel much more relaxed afterward.

Right now, I'm feeling a bit hungry.

Jiang nodded slightly, "Yes, I've had enough sleep."

"Are you hungry? Shall I have someone bring you some food?"

Jiang Zhi was indeed hungry, and she readily agreed. Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly upon seeing this. In fact, he had been awake for a while, but looking at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms, he still stayed in bed with her.

The room is decorated in a tatami style, with warm and comfortable wooden furniture.

Dinner was served quickly, and the two of them, both a little hungry, ate in silence. After finishing the meal, Jiang Zhi felt alive again and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Being able to eat well and sleep well is truly a blessing.

Ling Jingyuan glanced at Jiang Zhi, who was in a good mood, and took her out for a walk to digest her food. Half an hour later, he quickly led her back to their room in the courtyard.

As soon as the two entered the house, Jiang Zhi was forcefully kissed on the lips by the man.

Ling Jingyuan's large hand tightly encircled Jiang Zhi's waist, his voice deep and husky, "Jiang Zhi, I want to reward you."

Jiang Zhi, who was almost unable to breathe from the kiss, looked puzzled.

A reward? What kind of reward?
