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

The thought of Jiang Zhi's first reaction when the accident happened was to shield him from the bullets made Ling Jingyuan's heart ache.

That silly woman.

She appears rational and calm, but deep down she's stubborn and adorably silly.

She was willing to risk her life just for the warmth he gave her.

How can she be so silly, yet so adorable?

She actually loves him that much!

Thinking of this, Ling Jingyuan felt a bittersweet feeling in his heart.

He was so happy he couldn't wait to tell everyone how much she loved him.

"Jiang Zhi, you're finished."

"You really love me to death."

"You'll never leave me in this lifetime."

Ling Jingyuan's dark eyes were filled with deep love, and he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Jiang Zhi's forehead.

Yes, his life is over.

He was madly in love with her.

They were a match made in heaven; they were destined to be together.

Ling Jingyuan glanced lightly at the wounds on his body, his eyes deep and terrifyingly dark.

He was still a little scared; how much pain and danger would it have been if that bullet had hit Jiang Zhi? He almost lost her!

The Jiang family! Jiang Shih-Han!

Okay, very good!!!

It seems I was too lenient with them, which emboldened them to act so cruelly!

Ling Jingyuan's dark eyes were filled with a fierce and dangerous look. He frowned slightly, thinking about Jiang Shihan who suddenly appeared with a gun today. He felt that something was wrong!

"Investigate what happened today, and find out the truth!"

Ling Jingyuan picked up the phone from the table, dialed a number, and his voice was cold.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Jingyuan put down his phone and looked tenderly at Jiang Zhi in his arms. Her delicate face was still a little pale, and even in her sleep, her slightly furrowed brows showed her unease.

Jiang Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and her thick, delicate eyelashes were still damp with moisture—tears she had shed for him.

Looking at the person in his arms, Ling Jingyuan felt a mix of soreness and throbbing in his heart.

She must have been terrified and extremely worried.

He had originally planned to happily accompany her to receive the award, witness her moment of glory, and then take the opportunity to propose.

But now, everything has been disrupted.

Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared in Ling Jingyuan's dark eyes.

He will not let any of those who hurt her get away with it!

Whether it's the Jiang family, Jiang Shih-han, or anyone else!

Since you've done this, you must take responsibility for your actions.

In the bar.

Qin Man, living a life of extravagance and debauchery, heard that Jiang Shihhan had bought a gun. She downed a glass of strong liquor, her eyes filled with madness.

She knew what Jiang Shih-han was up to. Haha, let the dogs fight! She was just waiting to see them fight like dogs!

It would be best to kill Jiang Zhi with one shot, so that she could reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Qin Man became happier and happier as she thought about it. She became excited for a moment, as she had just inhaled quite a bit of those special products.

At this moment, her mind was in a state of high excitement. She swayed her body as she walked into the crowd of people who were shaking their bodies wildly, and excitedly twisted her body.

hospital.

Jiang Zhi didn't sleep well. Half an hour later, she cried out in pain.

"Ling Jingyuan!"

She opened her eyes abruptly, her face pale with terror, and tears instantly streamed down her cheeks.

Seeing Jiang Zhi like this, Ling Jingyuan's eyes were filled with heartache.

"Jiang Zhi, I'm here, I'm here."

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Ling Jingyuan gently patted Jiang Zhi's back, his voice soft and patient as he comforted her.

Jiang Zhi panicked for a moment, her vision blurred by tears.

She wiped away her tears without caring about her image, and only when she saw the clear and real Ling Jingyuan in front of her did the fear and worry in her heart slowly dissipate.

Thankfully, Ling Jingyuan is alright, he's alright!

It was a dream, it was a dream, everything that just happened was a dream.

Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with a joy of having regained what she had lost, "Ling Jingyuan, I'm fine."

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Are you hungry? Thirsty?

"Is the wound very painful right now?"

"Do you need to go to the restroom?"

"Ling Jingyuan, I..."

Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with a worried and anxious expression, as if Ling Jingyuan was a porcelain doll that needed to be taken care of.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan felt somewhat helpless and couldn't help but call out softly.

"Jiang Zhi".

"I'm fine, don't worry."

As Ling Jingyuan spoke, he gently grasped Jiang Zhi's slightly cold fingers, his eyes filled with heartache and tenderness.

"Jiang Zhi, I'm fine, really."

"You heard what the doctor said: the surgery was successful, the bullet has been removed, and you just need to rest well."

"So, don't worry, okay?"

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, he lifted Jiang Zhi's hand and gently kissed her cold hand, then looked at her quietly.

Looking at the man in front of her, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

Why is he so good? Why is Ling Jingyuan so good?

Jiang Zhi knew that at this moment, she was truly no longer afraid! From the moment she subconsciously wanted to use her body to block that bullet, she could no longer live without Ling Jingyuan.

Because she would rather be the one who gets hurt than Ling Jingyuan!

Jiang Zhi tried hard to control the tears that were about to overflow again, and she forced a slight smile at Ling Jingyuan.

"Ling Jingyuan, thank you."

"Ling Jingyuan, I love you."

Yes, it was only in that instant that Jiang Zhi realized that she had fallen in love with this man much earlier and more deeply than she had imagined.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan's sexy and charming dark eyes were filled with a deep smile. He couldn't help but pull the person into his arms and nod.

"Jiang Zhi, I know."

"I know all of that."

Jiang Zhi gently raised her head and looked at Ling Jingyuan with a serious expression, her tone extremely solemn.

"Ling Jingyuan, let me get closer to you from now on."

"If the previous ninety-nine steps were you moving closer to me, then please leave the rest of the way to me."

"You don't have to do anything, just stand there and wait for me, okay?"

Ling Jingyuan paused slightly upon hearing this, a happy smile shining in his dark, deep eyes.

Jiang Zhi was waiting for Ling Jingyuan's answer.

She knew that Ling Jingyuan had sacrificed a lot for her along the way. She wasn't the strong, proactive type in relationships, but for Ling Jingyuan, she was willing to try and grow.

Love is willingly adjusting and changing for the other person in a way that you can accept.

Before, Ling Jingyuan did it all for her; now, she wants to be brave for him.

"Ling Jingyuan, is this alright?"

Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with a stubborn and persistent expression and spoke again.

Ling Jingyuan felt a sweet warmth in his heart. He didn't know what Jiang Zhi was going to do, but he liked listening to her.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi's gaze hardened, and a touching smile appeared on her tear-streaked face.

"Alright, you should rest now. I'll go find the attending physician to check on your condition."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she placed a gentle kiss on Ling Jingyuan's forehead, then nimbly got out of bed and quickly left the ward.

Ling Jingyuan watched the woman leave without a word, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Jiang Zhi seems a little different.

Before Ling Jingyuan could think any further, his phone suddenly rang.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and answered the phone. When he finished listening to what was being said on the other end, a fierce glint appeared in his dark eyes.
