in the bathroom.

Jiang Zhi's body was so weak that she could barely stand. She was held by the man and lay helplessly in his arms.

Ling Jingyuan looked at the woman in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips, then carried her to the shower and turned on the shower to wash them clean.

He then glanced behind him and grabbed two purple bath towels from the shelf in the room, using one to wrap himself and the other to wrap the woman in his arms.

He carried the person back to Jiang Zhi's room quickly and gently placed the person on the bed.

As soon as Jiang Zhiyi got into bed, she pulled the blanket over herself and then spoke softly.

"Ling Jingyuan, you, you go to the next room..."

The next room? How could that be!

Ling Jingyuan wasn't going to wrong himself; he hadn't eaten enough at the meal. How could he possibly let Jiang Zhi off the hook by not even letting her have a snack?

Before Jiang Zhi could react, Ling Jingyuan had already thrown off the covers and lay down inside.

"Ling Jingyuan, you..."

"Hmm!"

Jiang Zhi's lips were instantly captured by the man's kiss. He then pulled her tightly into his embrace. His strong arms encircled Jiang Zhi's waist, making it impossible for her to escape.

Jiang Zhi struggled slightly. If she had been bewitched by a man in the bathroom just now, she was now fully conscious.

What is her relationship with Ling Jingyuan now? How did they end up together...?

"Be good, don't move, unless you want to do it again."

"You know I'd love to have that..."

Ling Jingyuan slightly parted Jiang Zhi's lips and looked at her intently, his desire in his eyes was incredibly strong.

Jiang Zhi felt burned by Ling Jingyuan's gaze and gently lowered her eyes to avoid the man's burning gaze.

She knew this man meant what he said; if she kept moving around like that, he probably really would...

After all, both of them were only wrapped in bath towels, and thinking of this, she dared not move and remained quiet.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice low and husky: "Sleep, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

"Or maybe you don't want to sleep, and want to do it again..."

"Ling Jingyuan!"

Jiang Zhi was angered by Ling Jingyuan's words, and she couldn't help but reach out and cover his mouth.

This man...

Ling Jingyuan froze, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Zhi for a moment before he gently kissed the hand that was covering him.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback, feeling a tingling sensation in her palm. Her earlobes turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Don't move around, I want to sleep."

After saying that, Jiang Zhi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Ling Jingyuan smiled softly, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

This woman is so lovely.

"Are you feeling much better now?"

"I told you so, when you're in a bad mood, a good night's sleep will do the trick. If that doesn't work, you can sleep with me again..."

Jiang Zhi, pretending to be asleep: ......

What is this man saying?!

"Ling Jingyuan, shut up! Or get out!"

Jiang Zhi couldn't help but speak up, both angry and annoyed. Ling Jingyuan looked at the angry woman in his arms and slightly curled his lips.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Go to sleep."

He lowered his head and gently kissed the woman's forehead without saying another word.

Perhaps it was because she had been thoroughly harassed by the man in the bathroom, or perhaps it was because the man's scent made her feel at ease, but before long, Jiang Zhi actually fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping woman in his arms, Ling Jingyuan's eyes deepened, and he couldn't help but pull her closer to him.

Ling Jingyuan deliberately controlled himself and didn't take her as many times today. He knew she was in a bad mood, so he only teased her for a short while.

Today, all he wanted to do was stay with her.

From that moment on, when he saw her crying in her nightmares at night, he felt a pang of heartache. His gaze was unusually gentle as he reached out and gently traced Jiang Zhi's eyebrows and eyes, his voice filled with pity and a hint of jealousy.

"What's so good about that man?"

"In what way am I inferior to that man?"

"Jiang Zhi, why can't you even look at me?"

The sleeping Jiang Zhi only frowned slightly and subconsciously leaned closer to Ling Jingyuan's arms.

Ling Jingyuan paused slightly upon seeing this, then his eyes narrowed into a smile and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

Oh well, let her keep pretending. He'll dump her sooner or later anyway.

Ling Jingyuan lowered his head and kissed Jiang Zhi's soft lips, his voice deep and gentle, "Jiang Zhi, goodnight."

Then, holding the person in his arms, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Both of them slept very soundly.

early morning.

Jiang Zhi was awakened by the familiar ringtone of her phone alarm. She slowly opened her eyes, stared blankly for a few seconds, and reached for her phone to turn off the alarm.

But a large hand was faster than her. Ling Jingyuan frowned, reached out with his long arm, grabbed the phone, and gently swiped to turn off the alarm.

He turned back and looked at Jiang Zhi with his dark eyes, a faint smile on his lips.

"Good morning, Designer Jiang."

The man was shirtless, and his light tan skin was covered with a few scratches.

Jiang Zhi glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away; those were all things she had done last night. Thinking of the scene in front of the bathroom mirror last night, her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft breath to calm herself down.

Jiang Zhi paused for a moment, then looked away from Ling Jingyuan. "I have to get up and go to work. You should also hurry up and pack your things and leave my house."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel, grabbed her clothes, and ran into the bathroom. Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly at the sight. He glanced down at the bath towel that barely covered her private parts, and his eyes flickered.

In the bathroom, Jiang Zhi felt a pang of regret that she had been with Ling Jingyuan again last night...

Looking at the marks on her body, she felt a mix of emotions. She quickly changed her clothes, washed up briefly, and opened the bathroom door, only to find Ling Jingyuan standing there, looking at her with deep eyes.

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback when she saw Ling Jingyuan walk a few steps closer to her, his 1.9-meter height instantly enveloping her in his aura.

"Jiang Zhi." The man's voice was deep, with a hint of hoarseness and languor from just waking up.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi raised her head slightly and looked at Ling Jingyuan with a puzzled expression.

"Um?"

Ling Jingyuan's eyes were deep and his tone was serious. His sharp and deep eyes looked straight at Jiang Zhi.

"How about you consider whether you like me?"

Jiang Zhi was somewhat surprised; her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment. What did this man say?

Did she hear that right?

"Ling Jingyuan, what... what do you mean?"

Ling Jingyuan stared intently into Jiang Zhi's eyes with his deep, dark eyes, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Jiang Zhi, find someone else to like!"

"Think about it, you like me!"

Jiang Zhi heard it clearly this time, and heard it perfectly!

She knew who Ling Jingyuan was talking about. Could liking someone be changed?

For her, that person was more than just someone she liked; it likely involved much more.

That was the light in her darkest times, her salvation! Something she could never let go of from her heart…

Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent.

When Ling Jingyuan saw Jiang Zhi like this, his eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of jealousy and envy flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, this woman only became so absent-minded when talking about Gu Shen.

After a long while, Jiang Zhi looked up at Ling Jingyuan and said, "Mr. Ling, you're joking. We're all adults last night, you know what I mean. I have to go to work now."

After speaking, she took a few steps away from Ling Jingyuan, saying, "Mr. Ling, please lock the door before you leave. Also, last night was an accident."

"Please forget about last night, Mr. Ling. Goodbye."

After the woman finished speaking, she walked towards the living room door without looking back. With the sound of the door closing, only Ling Jingyuan was left in the house.

Ling Jingyuan stared at the closed door, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Adult games? Accident?"

"Jiang Zhi, you're amazing!!!"
