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

Jiang Zhi was slightly stunned. The answer? The answer?

Ling Jingyuan could sense that this woman wasn't indifferent to him; physical reactions don't lie.

Her reaction beneath him, her feeling of his kisses—she wasn't completely without feeling, was she?

Perhaps I didn't give her enough security?

Or was it a lack of sincerity? Or did he use the wrong approach?

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened slightly. Ling Jingyuan gently lifted Jiang Zhi and carried her to the sofa. He sat on the sofa and placed Jiang Zhi on his lap. The two faced each other, and he looked directly at Jiang Zhi.

The man's strong arms tightly encircled Jiang Zhi's slender waist, holding her firmly in his embrace.

Jiang Zhi could clearly hear the man's strong and real heartbeat, mixed with her own, clear and passionate.

The man's gaze was intense, his eyes filled with strong aggression and undisguised emotion.

"Jiang Zhi, be my girlfriend."

Jiang Zhi did not answer, but her face flushed uncontrollably.

Looking at the woman's rosy and adorable face, Ling Jingyuan had no intention of suppressing his feelings; at that moment, he wanted to kiss her! He thought it, and he did it.

The man's slender fingers gently caressed Jiang Zhi's soft, honeyed lips, his eyes deep and burning.

"Jiang Zhi".

"I'll choose for you..."

After speaking, the man lowered his head, cupped Jiang Zhi's face, and looked her in the eye. His burning gaze moved from her eyes to her lips, and he gently kissed her lips.

The touch was light, seemingly just a fleeting touch, but then the force gradually increased in the next second, guiding and invading Jiang Zhi step by step, seemingly leading her to fall into its trap.

"Jiang Zhi, try it with me."

Ling Jingyuan released Jiang Zhi's lips, his burning gaze fixed on her. Jiang Zhi gently raised her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she slowly spoke: "Ling Jingyuan."

She called out softly, her voice gentle and light.

"Give me some time, I need to think about it carefully, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan looked deeply into Jiang Zhi's eyes, and after a long while, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll give you some time. How long?"

Jiang Zhi slowly shook her head; she didn't know.

"Three days. I'll give you three days to consider."

Jiang Zhi nodded. No matter what the answer is in three days, she will give him an answer.

"Ling Jingyuan, can you go back now? I want to be alone for a while. Don't come over for the next few days..."

Ling Jingyuan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the pleading look in Jiang Zhi's eyes, he finally softened and nodded, "Okay."

After finishing his sentence, Ling Jingyuan placed Jiang Zhi on the sofa, took out some medicine to apply to her wounds, and carefully gave her some instructions. Then he turned and went into the kitchen to start working.

He reluctantly left only after the meal was cooked and served.

Jiang Zhi looked at the table full of her favorite dishes, her eyes flashing slightly.

"Mom, you told me to live a good life and find someone who loves me, what should I do...?"

That night, Jiang Zhi couldn't sleep.

the next day.

Jiang Zhi felt that her injuries were much better than yesterday. The wounds had scabbed over and didn't hurt much, just a little itchy. She was much freer to move around today than yesterday.

She stayed at home, emptying her mind and body to find peace.

As evening approached, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Zhi frowned and was about to speak when she heard Wang Cong's voice from the doorway.

"Hello, Jiang Zhi, open the door. It's me, Manager Wang."

"I need to contact you about something related to the Jingwan District CBD project."

Although Jiang Zhi disliked Wang Cong, she hesitated to open the door when she heard it was about the project, but she left it ajar.

Wang Cong came in with his laptop, and Jiang Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw it.

She led the person to the living room, but the front door was still not completely closed.

"Manager Wang, what's wrong with the project?"

Wang Cong scanned the room as soon as he entered, and seeing that no one seemed to be home, he smiled faintly at Jiang Zhi.

Seeing the injuries on Jiang Zhi's body, he asked in surprise, "Oh dear, Jiang Zhi, what happened to you?"

"Sit down quickly, I'll explain the project to you slowly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi deliberately sat down a little further away from Wang Cong. When Wang Cong saw this, his eyes flickered, and he got up and walked to Jiang Zhi's side.

He had been lusting after Jiang Zhi for a long time. He had his eye on her ever since she entered the design institute. This woman was both innocent and alluring, and she was incredibly captivating.

He hadn't succeeded in the past three years. Some time ago, when he was sick, he heard that the woman was almost taken advantage of by that old man, Director Liu. Fortunately, the old man committed a crime and went to jail, otherwise, he would have lost out after three years of watching her.

Hearing that she was on sick leave and alone at home, Wang Cong's restless heart began to stir.

Actually, there were quite a few women in the design institute who were involved with him, but he just couldn't get his hands on Jiang Zhi.

Wang Cong sat down next to Jiang Zhi, looking at her with a somewhat greedy gaze. Jiang Zhi frowned slightly upon seeing this, sensing something was wrong.

She suddenly stood up, but the next second Wang Cong grabbed her and slammed her back onto the sofa.

"Jiang Zhi, you know I like you, right?"

"Be a good girl and obey me, and I promise you'll have a smooth and successful life in the yard, how about that?"

After Wang Cong finished speaking, his fat, lewd hand reached out to touch Jiang Zhi's leg. Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi felt nauseous and struggled violently, trying to shout for help towards the door.

But the next second, a fat hand forcefully covered his mouth.

Wang Cong covered Jiang Zhi's mouth while leering, "Jiang Zhi, be smart. If you want to work for me, you'd better come with me, or you'll regret it."

Jiang Zhi struggled violently, her hands groping haphazardly. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a baseball bat she kept for self-defense next to the sofa.

She grabbed the stick and smacked Wang Cong hard on the back of the head just as he was about to kiss her.

Wang Cong was stunned by Jiang Zhi's blow and momentarily lost his focus. Seeing this, Jiang Zhi quickly added two more blows, allowing Wang Cong to escape from the sofa.

Wang Cong realized what was happening, his face turned cold, and he got up to pounce on Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi grabbed a baseball bat and ran toward the door. Just as she touched the doorknob, the door was opened from the outside, and Jiang Zhi bumped straight into a familiar embrace.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback, and a hint of moisture welled up in her tense and frightened eyes. It was Ling Jingyuan.

Ling Jingyuan seemed to guess what was going on after only glancing at the room for a second. He closed the door and shielded Jiang Zhi behind him.

He then stepped forward and kicked Wang Cong hard, knocking him to the ground. Wang Cong was stunned when he saw Ling Jingyuan.

Why would the president of the Ling Group be here? His small eyes darted around quickly and he guessed what was going on.

He immediately put on a fawning expression and spoke up to explain to Ling Jingyuan, "President Ling, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

Ling Jingyuan gave him no chance to explain, and his iron fists rained down, punching Wang Cong until he seemed to have lost his breath.
