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

Zhou Siye nodded in agreement, agreeing that Ling Jingyuan was indeed behaving in a way that was too infuriating.

Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow. His sexy eyes, brimming with amusement, looked at the two of them: "You're just envious. Jiang Zhi is my wife. What difference does it make if she wins an award or I win one?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye and Fu Libai couldn't help but exchange a glance. Wife?

Is Jiang Zhi his wife?

Where did this wife come from?

Of the three of them, it seems he's the only one without a wife, right?

Did Jiang Zhi agree to marry him? Did he propose to her?

Right now, he's at most Jiang Zhi's boyfriend.

Fu Libai, who had known Ling Jingyuan the most over the years, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Jingyuan with some disdain, unable to help but say something.

"Dude, that's enough."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Jiang Zhi isn't your wife yet!"

"At most, you and she are just boyfriend and girlfriend right now."

Zhou Siye nodded slightly in agreement.

He was different from Lin Li; he had proposed to Lin Li and she had accepted, and he was a married man.

Moreover, he is currently planning something big; he and Lin Li will soon be getting married.

Thinking of this, a hint of tenderness flashed across his usually cold and serious face. In a good mood, he slightly curved his lips and glanced at his good brother Ling Jingyuan with a touch of sympathy.

Unlike him, who is currently just someone's boyfriend and doesn't have a formal relationship, making his situation unsafe and unsecured.

Ling Jingyuan paused slightly upon hearing this. Sure enough, his good brother knew how to rub salt into his sore spot.

Yes, those two, one has a wife and kids, a warm bed, and the other looks like he's about to walk down the aisle. Now he's the only one left, still lingering outside the castle of marriage.

Thinking of this, Ling Jingyuan frowned slightly.

Zhou Siye glanced at the now quiet Ling Jingyuan and asked in a deep voice, "What are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan's handsome features became serious. "I plan to propose to Jiang Zhi after we finish receiving the award."

He thought he should give it a try.

Even if Jiang Zhi doesn't agree, he's not afraid.

He has plenty of time; he can wait patiently and propose until Jiang Zhi completely accepts his proposal.

Fu Libai raised an eyebrow. "That's a good time. Well then, I wish you success in your proposal in advance."

Zhou Siye: "I wish you success."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan smiled and looked at the two of them, "Yeah, thanks."

The three of them didn't stay together for long, after all, there was a pregnant woman at home. Fu Libai glanced at the time and calculated when Shen Yutong's party would end, so he left early.

I'm going to pick up my wife.

The other two didn't delay any longer, and the three of them parted ways and went home.

Everyone seemed to be very busy for the following week.

As soon as the news of Jiang Zhi Studio's award broke, Shen Yutong and Lin Li quickly found out. Shen Yutong, being a shareholder of the studio, was extremely excited.

She tried to pull Jiang Zhi and Lin Li to celebrate, but thankfully they stopped her. Lin Li was also pleasantly surprised and immediately sent her blessings to Jiang Zhi.

Finally, considering Shen Yutong's health, Jiang Zhi and Lin Li decided to visit her at her home on Saturday for a small gathering, saving her the trouble of running back and forth while heavily pregnant.

After all, she's now in her late pregnancy and needs to be extra careful.

Shen Yutong readily agreed when she heard that the two of them were coming over on Saturday.

Friday night.

In the three-person group chat, Shen Yutong sent several messages early on to confirm their arrival time for tomorrow.

Jiang Zhigang arrived home, sat down on the sofa, picked up her phone, and looked at Shen Yutong's enthusiastic tone in the group chat. She could already imagine her friend's excited expression.

Jiang Zhixiao replied to a message quickly and gently.

Soon after, Lin Li also replied in the group, and the three of them agreed to meet at Shen Yutong's house at 10 o'clock the next day.

Shen Yutong looked at the messages in the group and excitedly sent several cute emojis.

Jiang Zhi smiled faintly at the emojis. After thinking for a moment, she sent Ling Jingyuan a message. It took a long time for him to reply, and Jiang Zhi knew he was busy, so she didn't reply again.

Ling Jingyuan is away on a business trip; he's been gone for three days now.

Jiang Zhi put down her phone and went into the kitchen to make herself dinner.

After finishing her meal and taking a shower, Jiang Zhi nestled comfortably on the sofa and watched a science fiction movie.

Friday night, nestled comfortably on the sofa, a glass of red wine and a movie—that's indescribable happiness.

Although Jiang Zhi didn't have any red wine, she felt that this peaceful moment was precious and made her very happy.

If it weren't for Ling Jingyuan being away on a business trip, she wouldn't have this moment of peace. Right now, he would definitely be dragging her onto the bed and taking advantage of her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi's face couldn't help but blush slightly.

The memory of Ling Jingyuan was simply too deep for her, both physically and mentally, it was incredibly profound.

Now, although the other person is no longer here, Jiang Zhi still feels those lingering sensations whenever she thinks of those memories.

Jiang Zhi gently patted her burning face, trying to forget those images and start watching the movie.

I had only been watching for ten minutes when my phone rang on the sofa.

It was a video call from Ling Jingyuan.

"Jiang Zhi".

"baby."

"Wife."

As soon as Jiang Zhigang answered the video call, Ling Jingyuan's deep, sexy, and sticky voice came from the phone. The man seemed drunk; his voice was a little hoarse.

The video shows a man leaning against a large hotel bed, seemingly having just taken a shower.

His hair was disheveled and damp, and he wore a black bathrobe. Whether intentionally or not, the bathrobe was not tied up, revealing almost all of the man's light tan chest and abdominal muscles.

Large swaths of skin were generously displayed before Jiang Zhi.

Well-developed and solid pectoral muscles, clearly defined and alluring abdominal muscles, and those incredibly sexy V-lines...

The phone camera has excellent resolution, and Jiang Zhi's eyesight is also very good.

She could clearly see the water droplets still clinging to the man's chest, playfully sliding down his pectoral muscles and rolling onto his sexy abs, slowly moving downwards.

As soon as Jiang Zhi opened her phone, she saw a picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath, and she couldn't help but slightly shift her gaze away.

Ling Jingyuan looks so alluring.

"Jiang Zhi, my wife."

The man in the video squinted, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Zhi, and called out softly.

Jiang Zhi was somewhat distracted by the man's sticky and sexy voice.

"Jiang Zhi, I miss you."

Ling Jingyuan's gaze was fixed intently on Jiang Zhi's delicate and alluring face, his eyes traveling down to her soft lips.

"Baby, wait for me to come back."

Ling Jingyuan didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Zhi understood what he meant.

Because at that moment, the man's gaze was blatantly fixed on her.

Even though he hadn't said or done anything, Jiang Zhi felt as if the man's deep, burning gaze had somehow conveyed everything to her through the phone.

Jiang Zhi felt a tremor in her heart; Ling Jingyuan's gaze was almost too much for her to handle.

"Jiang Zhi, I'm going back tomorrow."

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi's ears, which were turning red without her noticing, and his sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his voice low and husky.

Jiang Zhi blushed and nodded upon hearing this. Ling Jingyuan looked at the lovely woman in the video with deep eyes, chatted briefly, and then hung up the video call after letting Jiang Zhi go.

As the video call ended, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The intense, burning gaze in Ling Jingyuan's eyes in the video made her heart tremble.

Jiang Zhi composed herself, watched a movie for a while, and then went to sleep early. However, her dreams were restless; she had a nightmare. Her dream was filled with images of Ling Jingyuan roughly groping and abusing her, both realistic and alluring.

the next day.

Jiang Zhi slowly opened her eyes, her mind blank. She stared blankly for a few seconds before slowly coming back to her senses.

Her face flushed slightly, and she gently patted her cheeks as she thought of the dream she had last night. It was all because Ling Jingyuan was so alluring last night; she had actually dreamt about herself and him…

Jiang Zhi gently bit her lip, quickly shaking those images out of her mind. She quickly got out of bed and began to wash up.

At ten o'clock, she and Lin Li arrived at Shen Yutong's house on time.

Jiang Zhi and Lin Li were slightly startled when they saw Shen Yutong's increasingly large belly. They helped her slowly walk towards the sofa.

Seeing Shen Yutong's belly, which was much bigger than when they last met, Jiang Zhi began to feel nervous.

It looks like it's about to give birth!
