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

The Gu family home, Gu Shen's room.

Gu Shen was looking at photos in the album, especially one of him and Jiang Zhi. The girl in the photo smiled gently and sweetly; she was so dazzling and captivating, it's a pity...

There was a gentle knock on the door. Gu Shen immediately closed the photo album and put it back in the drawer.

"Enter."

As soon as Gu Shen finished speaking, his mother gently walked in carrying a plate of fruit.

"Have some fruit, you've been so busy lately."

Looking at Gu Shen, Gu's mother's eyes were full of pride for her son. Her son had been outstanding since childhood and was the envy of others.

She would never let Jiang Zhi, that woman who had nothing, jeopardize her son's future.

Besides, Jiang Zhi has a foxy look to her; she's not the kind of person who would settle down and live a peaceful life. Her son has a bright future, and she will never let that woman Jiang Zhi influence and ruin him.

Gu Shen glanced at the carefully prepared fruit platter on the table and nodded slightly. "Thank you, Mom. I haven't been too busy lately."

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother glanced at Gu Shen and said softly, "Do you still remember Liu Sisi, the daughter of Director Liu? I ran into her a couple of days ago, and she mentioned you to me."

"When will you have time to ask her out for dinner...?"

Gu Shen frowned slightly upon hearing this. He understood perfectly what his mother meant; it was clearly a veiled way of telling him to go on a blind date.

"Mom, I've been very busy lately and haven't had time..."

Upon hearing Gu Shen's words, Gu's mother's expression instantly turned cold. "Gu Shen, are you still thinking about that woman, Jiang Zhi?"

"You know you hit someone because of her back then. If it weren't for your father and me standing up for you, you would have had a criminal record long ago. Hasn't she hurt you enough? You're still thinking about her? Are you trying to drive your father and me crazy?"

Gu's mother looked displeased, her face filled with disappointment and frustration.

Seeing this, Gu Shen felt deeply guilty. "Mom, I..."

"Gu Shen, let me tell you, don't be naive. That woman already has a man. You're just someone she's playing with..."

Gu Shen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. A man!

He couldn't help but think of what she had admitted to herself on the phone that day. He didn't believe it, he never believed it.

But now that his mother was saying this, he frowned and looked at Gu's mother, "Mom, what kind of man are you? What do you mean by that?"

Gu's mother looked at Gu Shenchen with a furious expression: "I called her just now, and a man answered, saying he was her boyfriend. She's still with a man this late; what else could he be but her boyfriend?"

"Besides, I could tell something was off about that man's voice the moment I heard it; I knew it was them at a glance..."

"mom!"

Gu Shen looked at his mother with a grim expression and a somewhat gloomy gaze.

Gu's mother frowned. "Son, I'm doing this all for your own good. You're still young, and your future holds endless possibilities. If someone helps you in your career, you can save yourself many years of struggle. Think about which is more important."

A struggle and hesitation flashed across Gu Shen's face, but after a long while he finally nodded slowly.

"Mom, I understand. I'll ask Liu Sisi out for dinner when I have time..."

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother's face lit up with joy. She looked at Gu Shen and nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it. Now you should get some rest. I'm leaving."

After finishing her sentence, Gu's mother left the room with light steps, while Gu Shen lowered his head, his eyes filled with darkness.

……

Jiang Zhijia.

Jiang Zhi, who was originally depressed and immersed in sadness, now opened her beautiful eyes wide, her face full of shock and fright.

What is this man saying?!

What is he thinking about all day long?

Isn't it rumored that this man is abstinent, aloof, noble, and indifferent?

Who is this man in front of me, who is full of lewd talk and lust?

Jiang Zhi's mood was stirred up by a phone call from Gu Shen's mother, which brought back many memories from the past.

Some things brought her joy, while others brought her sorrow. As for Gu Shen, the man who rescued and helped her like a prince and knight during her darkest years of youth, she had always held a special place in her heart for him.

Those were feelings she had harbored since her youth, feelings she could never express; she could only keep them in her heart.

She never asked for much; she just wanted to silently wish him well in her heart.

She never dared to hope for love; perhaps those beautiful things were simply not meant for her...

Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi, who was hanging her head and seemed to have lost her soul like an exquisite doll, and his eyes were full of heartache. A part of his heart felt sour and soft.

Gu Shen? It's that man again!

What's so great about him!

Is he as good-looking as her?

Does he have money?

Are they as long as his legs?

What can he do?

Is he as addicted to her as he is?

What kind of taste does this woman have?!

What kind of good person is a man who makes women feel wronged? If she can be attracted to him, why can't she be attracted to Ling Jingyuan?

In what ways did he lose to that man named Gu Shen?

Does this woman even realize how beautiful and charming she is? Doesn't she see how infatuated she is with herself?

Looking at Jiang Zhi like this, Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep and gloomy.

"Ling Jingyuan, go back. I want to be alone." Jiang Zhi said as she struggled to get off Ling Jingyuan's lap.

"Jiang Zhi".

Ling Jingyuan called out softly, looking at her with deep eyes.

Have you ever heard a famous quote?

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly in confusion. Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan suddenly pulled her back into his arms, and Jiang Zhi fell into the man's hard chest without warning.

Ling Jingyuan tightly encircled Jiang Zhi's slender waist with both hands, and one large hand slowly roamed over her back, finally stopping at her delicate neck. His large hand gently embraced the back of her neck, and his perfectly sculpted face suddenly moved closer to Jiang Zhi, whispering softly in her ear.

The voice was deep, husky, magnetic, and alluring; every word seemed to carry a seductive quality.

"As a famous saying goes, when you're feeling down, a good night's sleep will do the trick."

"So, Jiang Zhi...would you like to give it a try?"

"I'll let you sleep with me, it's free..."

Jiang Zhi realized what the man was saying. She paused slightly, then blushed. This man…

"Ling Jingyuan, I don't need it..."

Before Jiang Zhi could speak, the man grabbed her hands with one hand and held them behind her back. Then, his lips suddenly pressed against Jiang Zhi's, and his hot breath sprayed freely onto her face.

"No, Jiang Zhi, you need..."

"Ling..."

Jiang Zhi's words were completely swallowed by the man; Ling Jingyuan didn't give Jiang Zhi a chance to refuse.

He knew exactly how to manipulate Jiang Zhi's body; no matter how much she struggled, she remained tightly held in his arms.

At this moment, she seemed to be a lock, and Ling Jingyuan was the key to unlock her. He knew exactly how to open her lock with precision.

The man's hot, passionate kiss enveloped her, and the unique and intense scent of Ling Jingyuan further enveloped her in a world where she was alone with him.

For some reason, it gave her a sense of security.

Jiang Zhi felt a little scared and nervous. She found that her body seemed to be experiencing strange sensations, a feeling that was beyond her control and came naturally.

She bit her lip hard to keep herself from making a sound.

"Be good, don't bite..."
