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

"Do you remember now?"

"If you call me 'President Ling' again, I'll punish you every time I hear it. I mean what I say, do you want to try?"

The man's warm breath sprayed onto Jiang Zhi's earlobe and neck, stimulating her sensitive nerves. His hot lips brushed against her earlobe, making her feel both itchy and numb.

"Jiang Zhi, did you remember?"

Jiang Zhi knew that if she said she didn't remember, this man would definitely not let her off easily.

She didn't need to look in a mirror to know that her face and ears must be red.

Jiang Zhi pushed away the man's restraint and nodded slightly, "Ling Jingyuan, let me go first, I... I understand."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly, gently released Jiang Zhi's hand, and naturally took her hand, leading her towards the dining table.

He gently helped Jiang Zhi sit down in a chair, and as he skillfully opened the food box, he said softly, "Sit down for a while. Two of the dishes are a little cold; I'll go heat them up."

Before Jiang Zhi could react, the man had already carried two boxes of food into the kitchen.

He skillfully found a plate, put the food on it, and then turned on the microwave. With a ding from the microwave, he took out the heated food and put another plate in.

Ling Jingyuan carried two plates of heated dishes out of the kitchen, placed them on the dining table, and handed chopsticks to Jiang Zhi.

"Try it, the food at this restaurant is pretty good."

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating naturally, just like he was at home.

Jiang Zhi looked at the delicious-looking food on the table and was still hesitating whether to eat it or not, but then her stomach betrayed her and made a few hungry noises.

Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly upon hearing this and glanced at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi blushed, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating in a fit of anger. Since she had already lost face, it would be pointless not to eat.

She'll eat it; it's a waste not to eat it, but it's also a waste to eat it anyway.

Moreover, looking at the dishes on the table, Jiang Zhi realized that they were all her favorite foods.

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi, who was eating like a little hamster with her puffed-up cheeks, and a hint of doting and amusement flashed in his dark eyes.

Perhaps due to the exhaustion from last night's battle and this morning's fight, Jiang Zhi ate a lot at this meal, and the two of them almost finished off the dishes that Ling Jingyuan had brought.

Jiang Zhi took a tissue to wipe the grease off her mouth and tidied up the table. When she returned to the living room, she found that Ling Jingyuan was still there.

She thought the man would leave after finishing his meal, but seeing Ling Jingyuan's tall, 1.88-meter frame nestled on her small sofa, Jiang Zhi always felt that the scene was somewhat incongruous.

Jiang Zhi came to the sofa and glanced at Ling Jingyuan. "Ling Jingyuan, it's too late, you should go home."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan raised his eyes and gave Jiang Zhi a deep look with his dark, deep eyes. He then spoke softly to Jiang Zhi, who was standing some distance away from him.

"Jiang Zhi, come here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, showing no intention of going over.

She was truly terrified of this man; she couldn't fathom him and never knew what he would do next.

Seeing Jiang Zhi looking at him warily while standing some distance away, Ling Jingyuan's eyes darkened, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems the kitten has learned its lesson and is no longer easily fooled.

"Jiang Zhi, I'm thirsty. Get me a glass of water. I'll leave after I drink it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at Ling Jingyuan with suspicion for a long time before softly asking, "Are you really leaving after you finish your water?"

Ling Jingyuan smiled slightly, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Zhi, "If you want me to stay, I might not leave..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi immediately interrupted him, "You have to keep your word. I'll get you some water right away."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she went to the dining table to pour him a glass of warm water, then walked to the sofa and handed it to him.

Ling Jingyuan looked at the water Jiang Zhi brought over, his eyes deep. He reached out and pulled Jiang Zhi to sit on the sofa, directly into his arms.

Jiang Zhi was so startled by his sudden movement that she almost dropped the half-full glass of water in her hand. Ling Jingyuan quickly caught the glass with one hand, tilted his head back and drank the water in a few gulps, while his other hand tightly held her slender waist.

"Ling... Jingyuan, what are you doing? You said you'd leave after you finished drinking the water..."

Jiang Zhi was then held on the man's lap in an extremely intimate position.

The two were face to face, their bodies so close that their breaths seemed to mingle together.

"I meant after drinking the water, but this isn't the same water as before..."

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. What was this man talking about? The next second, Jiang Zhi understood what the man meant.

Ling Jiangyuan cupped her neck with his large hand, lowered his head, and kissed her lips fiercely, gently kneading and forcefully prying open her buds to savor the sweetness in her mouth...

Jiang Zhi blushed slightly. So this is what the man meant by "drinking water"?

He really is...

The two were very close, and Jiang Zhi could feel the hard fabric of the man's suit rubbing against her thigh through the thin fabric of her clothes.

The man's large hand slowly caressed Jiang Zhi's lower back, then moved upwards to her sensitive areas, igniting and teasing her along the way...

"...Ling...Jingyuan...stop."

Jiang Zhi felt her body starting to feel strange again. Slowly, she seemed to be losing control of her body again. Her face flushed slightly, and her voice became weak as she tried to refuse.

However, the voice that came out of his mouth was completely unconvincing, which made the man's aura deepen even more.

"Jiang Zhi, you really like her... don't you? Do you want me to stay?"

"You want me to stay, huh?"

As Ling Jingyuan spoke, he lowered his head and suddenly kissed Jiang Zhi's earlobe. Jiang Zhi's body tensed up and she couldn't help but tremble slightly. Soft sounds escaped from the corners of Jiang Zhi's mouth.

"...No...don't..."

Ling Jingyuan did not force him upon hearing this. He glanced down at the woman in his arms, who was clearly moved, and a hint of regret flashed in his dark eyes.

He almost succeeded in seducing her.

He buried his head deeply in Jiang Zhi's neck, breathing heavily, and only released Jiang Zhi after a long time when his breathing had calmed down.

He stood up and looked deeply at Jiang Zhi, whose face was still slightly flushed, on the sofa, and spoke softly.

"I'm leaving. Lock the doors and windows."

Jiang Zhi remained silent upon hearing this, and Ling Jingyuan, unperturbed, glanced at Jiang Zhi and left with a faint smile.

As soon as Ling Jingyuan left, Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the sofa...

After calming herself down, she turned and went to the bathroom to quickly wash up before going to bed and forcing herself to sleep. She had to go to work tomorrow. He was just a passing phase in her life; she shouldn't let him affect her, she shouldn't let him affect her.

Jiang Zhi tried to brainwash herself, repeating it over and over again, before finally drifting off to sleep.

The next day, she arrived at the company early and was called into Fang Jingjun's office as soon as she sat down.

Fang Jingjun: "Xiao Jiang, Wang Cong has resigned for personal reasons, so you need to take over the project he was working on."

"Especially the Ling family project, that's our company's key project today. You absolutely must do a good job, understand?"

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand."

"Alright, you can leave now."

After Fang Jingjun finished speaking, he waved to Jiang Zhi, who then turned and left the office.

Jiang Zhi returned to her seat, turned on her computer, and began to look at the plan. She devoted the entire day to the creation and modification of the plan, and also held a meeting with other colleagues to discuss the overall plan.

Wang Ying from Group Two looked at Jiang Zhi, who had returned to work, and her eyes darkened.

She has already had someone investigate, and she has a gut feeling that Wang Cong's sudden resignation must be related to Jiang Zhi.

As soon as she arrived at work, Jiang Zhi threw herself into her busy schedule. With the deadline for the presentation of the plan agreed upon with Ling's Group approaching, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Jiang Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief after the revised and adjusted plan was finally completed two days ahead of schedule and approved by Fang Jingjun.

The project presentation took place in the conference room of the Ling Group headquarters building on the same day.

Jiang Zhi and his design institute arrived at the meeting early, prepared their materials, and waited for the client to enter, their computers on. The senior executives of Ling's Group gradually entered the meeting room, with the last tall, imposing, and familiar figure walking in.

Jiang Zhi glanced at Ling Jingyuan, who sat at the head of the table exuding an air of aloofness and arrogance, and her eyes flickered...
