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

Ling Jingyuan looked at his mother with a blank expression, his eyes full of confusion.

Go for it! What kind of gas is he adding?

Ms. Zhou glanced at Ling Jingyuan, who seemed to be the simple-minded son of a wealthy landowner, with some disdain, and couldn't help but explain, "Look how outstanding Xiao Jiangzhi is, shouldn't you work harder and strive to improve?"

"Let me tell you, Jiang Zhi is the Ling family's daughter-in-law I've chosen. Don't you dare lose her in the end."

"Look how outstanding Xiao Jiangzhi is becoming. As a man, you can't fall behind. Otherwise, what will you use to support and protect her in the future?"

"Do you understand?"

Ling Jingyuan paused slightly and nodded.

"Mom, don't worry, I understand."

Hearing this, Ms. Zhou looked at Ling Jingyuan with some concern, "Also, when exactly are you planning to propose to Xiao Jiangzhi?"

"You're not young anymore. I'm afraid that in a few more years, when you're a few years older, Xiao Jiang won't be interested in you anymore."

Ling Jingyuan: ...

Is this his biological mother?

Is he really that bad?

In a few years, he'll still be himself, so why would Jiang Zhi look down on him?

Ms. Zhou glanced at Ling Jingyuan, who was looking at her with some resentment, then turned to Ling Shen, who was sitting quietly beside her, and asked.

"Ling Shen, do you think what I said is right?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shen nodded without hesitation. He glanced at Ling Jingyuan with his deep and profound gaze and spoke in a deep voice.

"My wife is right."

"Ling Jingyuan, listen carefully."

Ling Jingyuan suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and helplessly glanced at his father, who always followed Ms. Zhou's lead, before nodding in agreement.

Did his father ever say that Ms. Zhou was wrong?

"Yes, Mom and Dad, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He had considered proposing to Jiang Zhi, but he wasn't sure if she would be willing to marry him.

However, Ms. Zhou herself was right about one thing.

Jiang Zhi is becoming more and more outstanding, so he should work harder and become even more outstanding, so that only he can be worthy of Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi belongs to him, to Ling Jingyuan!

No one can take Jiang Zhi away from him.

Ling Shen glanced at the silent Ling Jingyuan, knowing that he had his own plans.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at his wife. "Wife, didn't you say you had a gift for Jiang Zhi later? I'll go with you to get it."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhou smiled and looked at Ling Shen, "Yes, that's right. You'll come with me to the study."

Ling Shen smiled indulgently at Ms. Zhou, who was getting up in a flurry, and took her hand as they walked toward the study.

She could never remember the secret of the safe.

Ling Jingyuan was already used to his parents' public displays of affection.

He had been fed with the couple's PDA since he was a child, which he didn't understand before.

Now that he has Jiang Zhi, he fully understands his father's feelings for his mother.

I don't know the origin of the love, and I love it deeply.

From the moment you fall in love, it's destined to be forever.

study.

Ling Shen opened the safe, and Ms. Zhou took out a set of expensive gemstone jewelry.

These were all gifts from Ling Shen before, and she has no use for them now. Jiang Zhi is going abroad to receive an award in a while, and she needs them, so it's a good opportunity to give them to her.

Ling Shen knew that Zhou Yun wanted to give Jiang Zhi a gift, but he didn't expect that she would give Jiang Zhi the gift she had given her before.

Ling Shen narrowed his dark eyes slightly, his deep gaze sweeping over the set of gemstone jewelry. He remembered how beautiful Zhou Yun looked wearing it.

He didn't want her to give her things to anyone else; these things could only belong to her.

Having made up his mind, Ling Shen looked at Ms. Zhou with a deep gaze and asked calmly, "Wife, are you planning to give these to Jiang Zhi?"

Zhou Yun nodded upon hearing this.

To be honest, because she used to be an athlete, she wasn't that obsessed with jewelry and diamonds. Her philosophy of life was simple; she didn't care about being extremely wealthy or pursuing a life of luxury.

Before, when she was in the team, she only had one thought: to train hard to win glory for the country, to stand on the highest podium, sing the national anthem, and watch the national flag rise.

Later, she finally did it.

She still remembers that match. She won, but no one applauded or cheered for her. It was simply because no one had high hopes for her, and there were very few Chinese people in the stands.

Later, Ling Shen shouted for her from the audience and gave her a national flag.

she cried.

And then...

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, but those memories from my youth have become clearer and clearer.

Despite the marks of time, her eyes remained clean, stubborn, and strong as she looked at the man beside her, with an undisguised flutter deep within them.

"Ling Shen, is it not allowed?"

Ling Shen smiled faintly upon hearing this, put his arm around her waist, and said softly, "Zhou Yun, these things are not appropriate."

"They belong to you; they are memories of you and me."

As he said this, his dark eyes looked intently at Zhou Yun as he leaned closer to her. "Zhou Yun, I don't want you to give them to others."

Zhou Yun hesitated upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Ling Shen lowered his head slightly, his thin lips almost kissing Ms. Zhou's lips. The man's gaze was deep and contained a hint of strength and aggression hidden beneath his refined demeanor.

"Honey, listen to me and put your things back."

"I've already prepared a gift for you."

Ling Shen's words made Zhou Yun pause slightly. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Ling Shen's deep eyes and finally obediently put the jewelry back.

"Ling Shen, what gift did you prepare?"

Ms. Zhou's beautiful, stubborn eyes shone as she stared straight at Ling Shen. Upon seeing this, a dark glint flashed in Ling Shen's dark eyes.

He slightly curved his lips and naturally lowered his head to kiss Zhou Yun's lips.

After all these years, he still has no resistance to her.

Zhou Yun was surprised when Ling Shen suddenly kissed her; after all these years, she still had no resistance to him.

Ling Shen's kiss was gentle yet intensely aggressive, forcing Zhou Yun to wrap her arms around his waist and tilt her head back slightly.

After a long while, Ling Shen finally smiled and released her lips. He gently tidied up the lipstick that he had smudged on Zhou Yun's lips, and took out a large black brocade box from the drawer of his desk and handed it to her.

Zhou Yun opened it and found a set of gemstone jewelry inside. She glanced at it and realized that this style did suit Jiang Zhi better than her own.

"Ling Shen, you're so thoughtful."

Zhou Yun looked at Ling Shen with bright eyes, and Ling Shen's deep eyes were filled with doting affection when he saw this.

"Let's go."

Ling Shen took Zhou Yun's hand and left the study with a faint smile.

Zhou Yun let Ling Shen lead her, her face, which bore the faint marks of time, was full of a happy smile.

The saying goes that loving someone is like growing a flower, and Ling Shen had taken very good care of her.

After the meal.

Ms. Zhou pulled Jiang Zhi to the sofa and gave her the expensive jewelry set. Jiang Zhi paused slightly upon seeing this and then refused.

These things are too expensive; she doesn't need them.

Ms. Zhou didn't give her a chance to refuse. She shoved the things into Jiang Zhi's arms and said in a forceful tone, "Little Jiang Zhi, accept them as I say."

"This is a gift from your uncle and me to congratulate your studio on winning the award."

"It's not expensive, but it's a token of our affection. You're going abroad to receive an award soon, so you should bring honor to the country by wearing some jewelry to ward off bad luck."

The saying "clothes and hats may intimidate petty people" still holds true.

"Mom and Dad are so thoughtful. I'll accept it on Jiang Zhi's behalf."

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan made the decision for Jiang Zhi directly, and Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with some helplessness.

Seeing this, Ms. Zhou smiled and looked at Jiang Zhi, patting her hand affectionately. "Little Jiang Zhi, you should learn from Ling Jingyuan."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi and Ling Jingyuan both looked at Ms. Zhou with some confusion.

"Mom, what did Jiang Zhi learn from me?"

Ms. Zhou glanced at Ling Jingyuan and laughed, "I'm learning your shamelessness."

Ling Jingyuan: ...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but chuckle.

At this point, Ms. Zhou seemed to remember something and pulled Jiang Zhi aside to tell her about Ling Jingyuan's glorious achievements as a child. The more Ling Jingyuan listened, the more his head throbbed. Was his Ms. Zhou about to expose him completely?

Seeing Ms. Zhou becoming more and more excited and happy as she spoke, Ling Jingyuan had a bad feeling.

Ling Shen, who was standing to the side, kept his gentle gaze fixed on Ms. Zhou. He glanced at Ling Jingyuan and gave him a wink.

The two entered the study one after the other.

study.

Ling Shen looked at Ling Jingyuan and asked directly, "What are your thoughts on your relationship with Jiang Zhi?"
