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

Jiang Zhi never expected that Ling Jingyuan would be so bold as to treat her like this in the conference room!

Ling Jingyuan gently released Jiang Zhi's lips, his eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a hint of danger and undisguised aggression.

Jiang Zhi only realized what she had just done after she finished hitting him.

Did she just slap the president of the Ling Group?

Finished!

Is this project going to be scrapped?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi let out a slight breath and looked at Ling Jingyuan with a serious expression.

"Mr. Ling, it was you who said that to me just now... that's why I..."

"Mr. Ling, the project presentation is complete, please allow me to leave..."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, her gaze softened as she looked at Ling Jingyuan's pure and alluring face, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Her one-night stand with him in the castle could at most be considered a romantic encounter.

We're all adults, so it's perfectly normal for everyone to go back to normal after the storm has passed.

She didn't even mention that this was the first time she'd ever clung to him, so what's wrong with him?

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan's face turned cold, and his aura became somewhat dangerous. "Jiang Zhi."

The man spoke in a low voice, which was deep and carried a hint of cold danger.

"I'm not a good sleeper..."

Jiang Zhi: ...

Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. What was this man saying?

Who wants to sleep with him?

Isn't he a good sleeper? Or is she a good sleeper?

Who slept with whom?

That night, she clearly wanted him to help her get to the hospital, but who knew that this man would end up helping her into bed instead.

Ultimately, she's the one who suffers in this situation.

After all, it was her first time...

"President Ling!"

Jiang Zhi's expression turned colder, but her soft voice made her words lack any real threat.

"I'm the one who should suffer. That night, all I wanted was for you to take me to the hospital..."

As she said this, Jiang Zhi let out a slight sigh. Well, things have already happened, whether they should have happened or not, so what's the point of talking about it now?

"President Ling, let bygones be bygones. I hope you can forget about this little thing."

"Is there anything else you, Mr. Ling, unclear about regarding this project?"

"If not, please let me leave."

Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly upon hearing this, his deep, sexy black eyes fixed on Jiang Zhi. After a long while, he took out his phone and handed it to Jiang Zhi.

"sweep."

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly as she looked at the QR code.

"Plus, I'll ask you if there's anything I don't understand."

"Mr. Ling, that won't be necessary. This project is being handled by our Manager Wang, and he will..."

"Jiang Zhi".

Ling Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and moved a little closer to Jiang Zhi.

"If you want to leave obediently, then listen to me."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee what people outside will think of us..."

Jiang Zhi's expression changed upon hearing this. Yes, he and she had been alone in this conference room for so long, and the people's eyes had been filled with doubt and suspicion when they left.

If she stays here with him any longer, who knows what people will say about her behind her back.

In the workplace, women, especially those who are attractive, often have to endure strange looks from others. She disliked this the most; otherwise, she wouldn't have repeatedly rejected Wang Cong and been intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for him.

Thinking of this, she raised her head, her gaze clear and cold yet carrying a hint of tenderness.

"it is good."

Jiang Zhi quickly opened her phone and scanned the profile picture. Seeing the black background on WeChat, she quickly saved the name and then looked at Ling Jingyuan.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan glanced at Jiang Zhi with satisfaction and stepped back. As soon as Jiang Zhi was free, she quickly picked up her laptop bag and strode towards the door.

Jiang Zhi's figure quickly disappeared through the doorway.

Jiang Zhi looked down at her phone and checked her lips. Finding everything normal and nothing unusual, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She suppressed the darkness in her eyes and quickly found a colleague to leave with. The colleague kept giving her strange looks in the car.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, silently making a decision in her heart.

As soon as she arrived at the company, she went to the design general manager's office.

Wang Cong was just the manager of their Design Department One. The Lighting Department of the Design Institute has six design departments, and each design department is further divided into several groups.

Their design general manager was Fang Jingjun, a middle-aged man in his forties. Fang Jingjun saw Jiang Zhi's face light up with joy and, before Jiang Zhi could speak, he smiled and said...

"Xiao Jiang did a great job today. It's fortunate that you went with us and saved the day."

"Ling's side is very satisfied with our proposal. Since your manager is currently ill and won't recover anytime soon, you will be in charge of this project."

"Xiao Jiang, this project is the company's key project this year, the stepping stone to cooperation with Ling's Group, and a benchmark project for the government this year. It is an opportunity for you."

"Seize the opportunity and work hard; doing this project well will greatly benefit you!"

Jiang Zhi paused slightly upon hearing this, and ultimately did not utter the words of refusal that she had intended to say.

Yes, this project is so rare!

What a huge opportunity this is for her! How could she give it up for a man!

Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, gave a brief report on the project details of the meeting, and then left.

She took a deep breath to encourage herself, reassuring herself that she didn't need to be afraid of Ling Jingyuan, that he was just playing around and would forget about it sooner or later.

Work is important, but her future is important too.

With that in mind, she quickly returned to her workstation, compiled the opinions from today's meeting, and promptly sent them to the design group.

Ling Group.

A spacious and luxurious CEO office.

Ling Jingyuan sat on the sofa, looking down at his phone with a lazy and aloof expression, if one ignored the row of messy bite marks on his collarbone.

"Yo!"

"I was only gone for a day, and your thousand-year-old iron tree suddenly bloomed?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at the marks on that collarbone, looks like the battle was quite intense."

"How could it be that some divine being could make our iron tree, which has been abstinent for millennia, bloom?"

The door opened, and a handsome man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, dressed like a male model, strode over to Ling Jingyuan and sat down next to him with a grin.

His gaze lingered on Ling Jingyuan's ambiguous marks, his face full of mockery.

"I heard you had a change of heart today? You've taken a fancy to a designer?"

The man spoke with a faint smile, his eyes full of gossip.

Ling Jingyuan frowned slightly upon hearing this. He glanced at the man beside him as he slowly and elegantly buttoned his shirt, then casually uttered a sentence.

"Yeah, I got slept with by someone else, all for nothing..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Libai looked at Ling Jingyuan with a horrified expression.

What did he hear?

What did this arrogant man say?

He... he was slept with by someone else?

Did you sleep in for nothing?

Listen, listen, listen to the deep sorrow and discontent in these words!

Is it because he hasn't slept enough, or is he annoyed that people aren't bothering him?

Fu Libai swallowed hard and looked at Ling Jingyuan. After a long while, he finally smiled and spoke.

"No, bro, something's really creepy about what you're saying."

"What, are you falling for someone?"
