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

Ling Jingyuan was never a good person.

With a cold expression, he dialed a number: "The Jiang family, Jiang Shih-han and Qin Man, don't let a single one of them get away."

People always have to pay the price for their actions!

Since they dared to do such a thing, they should be prepared to bear the consequences!

Ling Jingyuan knew that these people were not clean to begin with, and he only needed to use a few tricks to deal with them.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Jingyuan let out a slight sigh of relief.

He glanced at the injury on his shoulder with some annoyance. How could he propose to Jiang Zhi like this?

His original plan was to give Jiang Zhi an unforgettable, romantic, and grand proposal ceremony, not to make Jiang Zhi accept his proposal in this terrible state.

This is not what he wanted!

Thinking of this, Ling Jingyuan couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with Jiang Shihan and Qin Man, the culprits.

Jiang Zhi learned about Ling Jingyuan's condition in detail from the attending physician and learned that Ling Jingyuan was in good health and only needed to rest later. Jiang Zhi couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Because Ling Jingyuan's wound was not in a critical area and the surgery was very successful, he was able to be discharged from the hospital two weeks later.

Jiang thanked the doctor and left the doctor's office. Thinking of what the doctor had said, she took out her phone and started making a call.

The call was quickly answered, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Xiao Jing's voice came through the phone. Jiang Zhi didn't waste any time and immediately began to give instructions: "Xiao Jing, after you receive your awards, book your own tickets and go back to China. I still have some things to take care of here and will be returning to China in two weeks."

"While I'm away from the company, keep an eye on some of the company's projects."

Xiao Jing nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, President Jiang, I understand."

Jiang Zhi then explained some project details and hung up the phone after arranging everything.

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, as if she had suddenly thought of something very important. She opened her phone, searched for a number, and finally dialed it.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, this is Jiang Zhi. I'd like to..."

After finishing everything, Jiang Zhi let out a deep breath.

The rest of the journey is hers to walk.

Ling Jingyuan only needs to stand still, and she will approach him step by step until she embraces him.

She wasn't even afraid of death in the first second of encountering danger, so what is she afraid of now?

The thought of Ling Jingyuan losing his life because of her filled Jiang Zhi with lingering fear.

She couldn't stand or even imagine such a thing happening.

It wasn't until she realized this that she discovered her true feelings for Ling Jingyuan!

So now she's figured it out.

Life is unpredictable; she should cherish the present.

Be brave and love! Love the man who loves you!

Therefore, she took the lead in walking the path from then on, and she took the initiative to approach him.

Having figured all this out, Jiang Zhi felt a sudden sense of clarity.

In the moment when she almost lost Ling Jingyuan, Jiang Zhi had an epiphany.

A gentle yet resolute smile appeared on Jiang Zhi's delicate and innocent face. With a gentle yet rational gaze, she quickly walked towards Ling Jingyuan's ward.

In the ward.

When Ling Jingyuan saw Jiang Zhi return, the fierce and cold aura he had been exuding vanished instantly.

He looked at Jiang Zhi walking towards him, his eyes filled with unwavering love.

"Jiang Zhi, why have you been gone for so long? I've missed you so much."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi smiled gently and sat down beside Ling Jingyuan's bed to check the IV drip bottle.

"Yes, I asked you a few more questions about your situation."

"How are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Ling Jingyuan shook his head upon hearing this; he disliked the smell here.

He wanted to go back to the castle.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Zhi and his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of coquetry: "Jiang Zhi, I don't like it here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi gently lowered her head and tenderly kissed his lips, her voice gentle: "Hang in there, the doctor said you need to be observed in the hospital for at least a week."

"How about we leave the hospital in a week, once the check-up is done?"

Ling Jingyuan was surprised that Jiang Zhi would kiss him first. He smiled and looked at Jiang Zhi with a deep gaze.

"It's possible, but I have one condition."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at the man gently: "Hmm, what are the conditions?"

Ling Jingyuan's dark gaze remained fixed on Jiang Zhi's soft lips as he whispered, "Jiang Zhi, kiss me again."

Ling Jingyuan originally just wanted to tease Jiang Zhi in this way so that she wouldn't think about her injury, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhi to actually kiss him.

After all, he knew Jiang Zhi; she wasn't used to being like this with him in public.

But this time, he made a wrong judgment.

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Zhi's soft, sweet lips pressed against his, tightly sealing his own. She was kissing him in the way he had taught her.

Ling Jingyuan sensed that something was different.

He reached out his hand, which wasn't on an IV drip, and supported Jiang Zhi's neck, immediately taking the initiative and forcefully seizing control.

Having gone through this life-or-death experience, Jiang Zhi has a clearer understanding of her own heart.

She understood her feelings for Ling Jingyuan more clearly, and she was willing.

Jiang Zhi avoided pressing on Ling Jingyuan's shoulder wound, leaned slightly closer to Ling Jingyuan, tilted her head slightly, and actively cooperated with him, slowly closing her eyes to suppress the emotions in her eyes.

This kiss was as sweet as usual, yet something was different from usual!

Ling Jingyuan felt that this kiss seemed even sweeter.

"Um... Ling Jingyuan... is it okay now?"

Jiang Zhi's face flushed slightly, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked at Ling Jingyuan with tenderness as she spoke softly.

Ling Jingyuan's breathing was a little heavy. He slowly released Jiang Zhi's lips and leaned on her shoulder, panting heavily.

If it weren't for his injury, he really wanted to...

"Ling Jingyuan, be careful not to touch your wound." Jiang Zhi's voice was soft and gentle, full of worry.

"It's okay, let me hold you for a while."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan adjusted his breathing and spoke in a deep voice.

Jiang Zhijian did not touch Ling Jingyuan's wound. She nodded slightly and obediently let the man hold her.

This hug was devoid of desire, yet it was incredibly tender and sweet.

After a long while, Ling Jingyuan slowly relaxed Jiang Zhi's disordered breathing and it returned to normal.

He took Jiang Zhi's small hand in his large hand and looked at her earnestly.

"I'm fine here, Jiang Zhi. I still hope you can participate in that Asian Design Award..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with a gentle yet determined gaze and softly said, "Ling Jingyuan."

"I'm not going. I want to stay here with you."

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi, feeling a pang of pity that she was giving up this opportunity for him. He wanted to say something more, but then he saw Jiang Zhi smiling at him and speaking again.

"Ling Jingyuan, believe me, I can win that award this time, and I can win it again next time!"

"It's just an award, but you only have one!"

"You're more important than anything else!"

Ling Jingyuan's gaze was somewhat surprised, yet filled with boundless joy. He felt as if Jiang Zhi's words had sprinkled twenty tons of honey into his heart.

It was so sweet he could hardly breathe!

As expected, people who don't usually say sweet words are absolutely irresistible when they do!

President Ling felt incredibly sweet.
