Ling Jingyuan narrowed his dark eyes slightly and slowly withdrew his gaze. He sat down on the sofa in the living room, picked up his phone, and made a call to his assistant. The call was quickly answered.

"Hello, boss," came Li Rui's voice from the phone.

"Deliver a clean change of clothes and toiletries to..."

After speaking, Ling Jingyuan paused, then got up and walked to Jiang Zhi's kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and frowned slightly as he looked at the empty space inside.

"Go buy some more vegetables, meat, and fruit, and also buy an insulated lunchbox to bring with you."

"Also, the morning meeting will be postponed; I'll go to the company later."

Ling Jingyuan hung up the phone, closed the refrigerator door, and walked towards Jiang Zhi's room.

Jiang arrived at the room.

Ling Jingyuan threw off the covers and lay back down. He smelled the lingering scent of Jiang Zhi's shower gel in the blankets, his eyes deep, and slowly closed them to continue sleeping.

Li Rui, the assistant who had just arrived at the company and turned on her computer to get ready to work, hung up the phone with a look of intense gossip in her eyes.

Even my own CEO, who's a workaholic who never stops working, has started skipping work.

Thinking of the name of the neighborhood his boss had mentioned on the phone earlier, he realized that if he remembered correctly, it should be the home of that beautiful female designer from last time.

People's minds work exceptionally well when they're gossiping, and they're not afraid of trouble, so our clever assistant instantly guessed a possibility.

He quickly shut down his computer, grabbed his phone and car keys, and hurried out the door.

Li Rui was rapidly sending messages on his phone, postponing the morning meeting to the afternoon. Meanwhile, he opened his phone's map to check the nearest large supermarket, and after selecting his target, he headed straight for the parking lot.

An hour later, Li Rui stood at Jiang Zhi's door carrying three large bags and rang the doorbell.

After a long while, the door was finally opened.

Ling Jingyuan looked like he had just woken up, wearing only a bath towel, with his bare upper body covered in messy scratches.

Seeing this, Li Rui suppressed his gossipy fire and was about to go inside with his things when Ling Jingyuan glanced at him indifferently and took the things from his hands.

"Give me the things, and you can leave."

After saying that, he reached out and took the bag from his assistant, then turned and closed the door.

Li Rui, the special assistant left outside the door, looked at the door being quickly closed and gently touched his nose.

Okay, the boss seems a bit possessive. He won't even let him in the door?

inside the house.

Ling Jingyuan placed one of the bags containing toiletries and a change of clothes in the living room, then carried the other two bags containing fruit and meat into the kitchen.

He glanced at the time and couldn't help but speed up.

In the kitchen, there was a tall, well-built man with a superior physique, shirtless and wearing only a bath towel. His strong pectoral muscles and clearly defined abdominal muscles were particularly noticeable.

Ling Jingyuan looked languid yet serious as he glanced at the ingredients Li Rui had bought, including a full range of vegetables and meats.

After a moment's thought, he began to take action.

He skillfully and quickly began washing vegetables and meat to prepare the ingredients, and soon the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas.

An hour later, looking at the two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes on the table, which looked and smelled delicious, Ling Jingyuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

He took out the lunchbox his assistant had bought, washed it carefully, and then began to fill it with rice, stuffing it full of every dish.

Jiang Zhi thought that woman was too thin. Although she had a curvy figure, her arms, legs, and waist were too thin. He was always afraid to use force because he was afraid of breaking her waist.

After packing the food, he opened his phone and called a delivery service to send it away. Only then did he take his change of clothes and go into the bathroom.

He quickly finished showering and came to the bathroom mirror. Looking at the mirror, his eyes darkened and he couldn't help but think of the scene between the two of them in the mirror last night.

Jiang Zhi's pure yet alluring gaze, her delicate yet seductive soft voice, and the way her fingernails gripped her back so tightly...

Everything about it made him crave more, becoming deeply fascinated and addicted...

Ling Jingyuan glanced at Jiang Zhi's toiletries on the sink with a deep look in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then placed all the toiletries that his assistant had brought him on the sink, neatly arranging them together with Jiang Zhi's feminine hygiene products.

After finishing everything, Ling Jingyuan glanced at the table and left with satisfaction.

Back at the dining table, he served himself a bowl of rice and ate quickly. After finishing, he cleaned up the kitchen, tidied up the mess, checked the time, and then left.

In the car, Li Rui looked at the boss, who was dressed in a gray haute couture suit and had a restrained and noble demeanor. It was hard for him to connect the man with the one who was just wearing a bath towel and carrying several large bags of vegetables.

The contrast is really quite striking.

"Go to the company."

The man in the back seat was looking down at his phone, seemingly sending a message and muttering something under his breath.

"Okay, boss."

Upon hearing this, Li Rui quickly looked away from the rearview mirror, started the car, and drove straight to the company.

Design institute.

When Jiang Zhi arrived at the company today, she sensed that something was off in the design department; the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Jiang Zhi sat down quietly at her workstation, turned on her computer, and prepared to work.

Then Xiao Jing peeked over and whispered, "Jiang Zhi, be careful today, or Wang Ying might cause you trouble."

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Wang Ying?

What illness has she had this time?!

"Wang Ying? Why is she causing me trouble?"

Jiang Zhi looked puzzled. She and Wang Ying were in different groups and there was no conflict of interest between them.

Hearing this, Xiao Jing glanced at her helplessly, then leaned closer to Jiang Zhi and whispered, "Jiang Zhi, you're just too kind. You don't know that Wang Ying has always had a problem with you; she's jealous of your looks."

"The main issue is that a client you used to be in charge of now has a new project that Wang Ying is in charge of, but the client is still not satisfied with the proposal after several revisions."

"I heard that the client mentioned your name at the last meeting, seemingly comparing you to Wang Ying, and expressing some reservations about Wang Ying's design abilities."

"So, Wang Ying was very upset and looked very unhappy as soon as she came to work today. Be careful, she might pick a fight with you."

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this. "Xiao Jing, I understand. Thank you."

Xiao Jing smiled faintly and returned to her workstation to continue working. Jiang Zhi's eyes darkened slightly as he opened the software and began working.

She is gentle and easygoing, but that doesn't mean she's weak and easy to bully. If Wang Ying is being unreasonable, she's not someone to be trifled with.

Jiang Zhi spent the morning busy, and Wang Ying passed by her several times with an unpleasant expression, her eyes clearly filled with hostility and resentment.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhi glanced at her indifferently, not taking her seriously at all. Strength is always the best weapon.

Letting your actions speak for themselves is always more effective than empty words and glances.

"Jiang Zhi, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch," Xiao Jing said with a smile to Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the time; time flies when you're busy, and before she knew it, it was lunchtime. Suddenly, her phone rang. Jiang Zhi glanced at it and saw it was the front desk calling.

She answered the phone and heard the receptionist's sweet voice: "Hello, Sister Jiang Zhi, your meal is at the front desk, please come and get it."

Jiang Zhi was puzzled upon hearing this. Food?

Where did the food come from?

She didn't order food, so where did the food come from? Was it delivered to the wrong place?

"My meal? I didn't order any meal. Did they deliver the wrong thing?" Jiang Zhi asked softly, frowning.

"That's right, this is your number, it's for you. There seems to be another note too, come down and take a look."

Jiang Zhi frowned, told Xiao Jing something, and then went downstairs with her phone.

Ling Group.

The CEO's office.

After processing a batch of documents, Ling Jingyuan picked up his phone and looked at the message he had sent a long time ago, but Jiang Zhi had not replied yet.

Ling Jingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly: "What a heartless woman..."
