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

Fu Libai raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the person who had gone silent in the group chat.

He immediately clicked on Zhou Siye's profile picture and sent him a message.

[Fu Libai: Old Zhou, get the contract ready. I'm going to win this bet!]

Zhou Siye chuckled as he looked at the message from Fu Libai: What's the rush? That's not necessarily true!

[Zhou Siye: What's the rush? I don't think I'll lose.]

[Fu Libai: Fine, let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness.]

Seeing that Zhou Siye was still struggling, Fu Libai couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. He was sure he would win this bet!

Ling Jingyuan's demeanor was completely off; this was the first time he'd reacted like this in all these years. He had a premonition that his good brother was definitely going to fall for that beautiful designer this time.

Ling Jingyuan's top-tier luxury mansion.

Ling Jingyuan glanced in the direction of the bathroom and, finding no movement, frowned slightly.

That woman must have fainted in the bathroom!

Thinking of this, Fu Lingjingyuan quickened his pace and arrived at the bathroom door. Just as he was about to knock, the door was opened from the inside.

Jiang Zhi walked out wrapped in a bathrobe, the large robe clinging tightly to her body.

Perhaps because she had taken a shower, Jiang Zhi's previously pale complexion now seemed to have improved, with a faint pinkish tinge.

Jiang Zhi was surprised that Ling Jingyuan would suddenly appear at the bathroom door. She was slightly taken aback and looked at Ling Jingyuan.

Ling Jingyuan stared at the woman before him, his eyes deep and unfathomable. His gaze swept over the bathrobe she was wearing. It was his; although he had never worn it himself, seeing something that belonged to him being worn by Jiang Zhi suddenly filled him with a sense of pleasure.

It's as if the two people are somehow connected, entangled in something.

He looked at Jiang Zhi's damp hair and couldn't help but frown slightly.

He scooped Jiang Zhi up in his arms and carried her quickly toward his room, much to her surprise.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback when she saw this. In order to maintain her balance and not fall, she could only carefully wrap her arms around the man's neck. This action clearly pleased Ling Jingyuan.

He gave a slight smile and walked even faster.

"Mr. Ling, put me down, I can manage on my own..."

"Jiang Zhi!"

The man interrupted Jiang Zhi in a low voice, his deep voice carrying a hint of warning.

"Try calling me 'President Ling' again?"

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, his intense and burning gaze went straight to Jiang Zhi. He lowered his head slightly, and his perfect, flawless face was pressed tightly against Jiang Zhi. His warm breath sprayed on Jiang Zhi's neck and earlobe, which felt hot and itchy.

"Jiang Zhi, do you believe I'll take you right now!"

Jiang Zhi was slightly startled upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. The man's eyes were burning with desire and lust, showing no sign of jest.

Jiang Zhi's face flushed slightly uncontrollably; she knew this man wasn't joking!

He's telling the truth!

If she were to call him "President Ling" again, this man would truly be a man of his word, especially towards her...

Jiang Zhi gently shifted her gaze to avoid the man's burning eyes. She lowered her head slightly and remained silent as Ling Jingyuan carried her towards the bedroom.

Seeing the woman in his arms with a slightly flushed face and quiet demeanor, Ling Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle softly. Although she was no longer speaking, there seemed to be a hint of resentment on her delicate face.

After placing the person on his large bed, Ling Jingyuan turned and left. He soon returned with a hairdryer in his hand.

Ling Jingyuan turned on the hairdryer and gently lifted Jiang Zhi's hair, blowing it with natural and skillful movements.

Jiang Zhi was somewhat surprised by Ling Jingyuan's actions. "Mr. Ling, I... I can do it myself..."

Jiang Zhi felt a little uncomfortable, because the only people who could blow-dry her hair like this were herself and her mother.

"Well……"

Before Jiang Zhi could finish speaking, she was silenced by a pair of cold lips.

"Designer Jiang, your memory seems to be really bad!"

"Try calling me 'President Ling' again!"

The man's domineering and forceful kiss landed on her lips, and the warm heat of the hairdryer clung to her hair. Jiang Zhi sat upright, not daring to move; she truly dared not provoke Ling Jingyuan.

She had no idea what the man would do next.

Fortunately, Ling Jingyuan quickly released her lips, got up and continued to blow-dry her hair seriously until all her hair was blown out before he turned off the hairdryer.

Ling Jingyuan glanced lightly at the obedient woman sitting on the bed, his eyes deep.

"Rest for a while, your clothes will be delivered soon. What would you like to eat? I'll make it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi gently shook her head. She had no appetite and didn't want to eat anything.

"No, I'm not hungry and don't want to eat, thank you."

"Then you should go to bed and rest first."

After saying that, Ling Jingyuan put her on the bed, forcibly pulled the blanket up for her, closed the door, and left the room.

Jiang Zhi looked at the unfamiliar room, which was understated in its decor but luxurious in every way, and her eyes darkened.

She and Ling Jingyuan were from completely different worlds.

Neither Gu Shen nor his family could accept her, let alone Ling Jingyuan; a relationship between them was impossible!

She and he were from two different worlds, like two parallel lines that suddenly had a chance to intersect due to a mistake, but after intersecting, they still returned to their original directions, with no possibility of anything!

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi's eyes cleared up a bit.

She gently closed her eyes, as if making a decision in her heart.

Perhaps because she had been tense all along, Jiang Zhi relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

When Ling Jingyuan brought Jiang Zhi's change of clothes into the room, he found that the woman on the bed had already fallen asleep. He thought for a moment, quickly washed up, got into bed, and pulled the woman into his arms. He felt a sense of satisfaction and couldn't help but gently close his eyes.

midnight.

Ling Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes and turned on the bedside lamp.

He saw a burning hot body pressed tightly against him, and a pair of hot little hands tugging haphazardly at his robe.

Jiang Zhi was very close, her soft lips almost touching his collarbone, her hot breath spraying onto his chest and neck, making it feel hot and itchy.

"Waaah..."

Jiang Zhi seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, her hands struggling and waving wildly. Ling Jingyuan's expression changed upon seeing this. He carefully touched Jiang Zhi's forehead, and then his eyes darkened.

It's very hot; the person has a fever.

"Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi..."

Ling Jingyuan called out softly, trying to wake Jiang Zhi, but Jiang Zhi didn't respond at all.

A dark glint flashed in Ling Jingyuan's eyes. He picked up his phone from the bedside table and quickly made a call. Soon after, he returned with a towel in his hand and gently stroked Jiang Zhi's forehead.

Before long, the family doctor came and gave Jiang Zhi a thorough examination. After hanging her up with an IV drip, Ling Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and let her go.

Looking at the woman in his arms whose body temperature was gradually returning to normal, Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep and filled with unspeakable heartache.

This was an experience he had never had in nearly thirty years. He, Ling Jingyuan, was actually so tender and attached to a woman.

The woman in his arms, perhaps due to illness, seemed quite fragile and clingy. She clung tightly to Ling Jingyuan's chest, gripping his neck and waist firmly, as if seeking a sense of security.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan's eyes darkened. He tightened his embrace and gently kissed Jiang Zhi's forehead.

This woman only seems to be well-behaved when she's sick, acting like a clingy kitten...
