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

Jiang Zhi looked at the man standing in the living room. He had taken off his suit jacket and was wearing a white shirt with gray suit trousers.

Several buttons on the shirt collar were undone, revealing a sexy collarbone and a patch of skin on the chest.

The shirt was rolled up at the wrist, revealing strong and powerful forearms with smooth and attractive muscle lines, clearly showing that he spends time exercising.

Under the light, the man's long arms and legs, combined with the simple gray-white clothes, created an alluring effect as he wore a uniform. Seeing that Jiang Zhi remained motionless by the sofa, Ling Jingyuan raised an eyebrow and strode over to her side.

Naturally and quickly, he took Jiang Zhi's hand and led her to the dining table to sit down. "Come on, give me some feedback."

Ling Jingyuan ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Jiang Zhi, his dark eyes smiling faintly as he looked at her.

Jiang Zhi looked at the soup in front of her with a complicated expression. She lowered her eyes slightly, picked up the soup, and took a small sip. "Mmm, it's delicious."

It tasted almost exactly like her mother's, and Jiang Zhi picked up the soup and took a few more sips.

Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan's eyes were full of satisfaction; thankfully, she liked it.

"Try the other dishes."

After Ling Jingyuan finished speaking, he handed a small bowl of rice to Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi nodded slightly and took the rice from Ling Jingyuan.

"Ling Jingyuan".

Jiang Zhi lowered her head and called out softly.

"Hmm?" Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with deep eyes, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of tenderness.

Jiang Zhi raised her eyes and looked gently at Ling Jingyuan, her tone soft, "Thank you."

In that instant, he made her feel the warmth that her mother had shown her when she was still alive.

Someone was busy in the cozy kitchen, and there were delicious dishes on the table, all of which tasted like her mother's cooking.

After her mother passed away, she had no home!

In fact, many nights she did have thoughts of disappearing and leaving, but she had promised her mother that she would live well and live a good life for her, watching over this world.

During the day at the company, Wang Ying and Cai Lin's situation left her feeling somewhat down.

Why must life be so difficult? We are all women, so why should women make things difficult for each other?

Women are already treated unfairly in the workplace. Shouldn't women in the same group unite and help each other?

Why should women make things difficult for each other and belittle each other like this?

But when she came back that night and saw the familiar and carefully prepared taste, Jiang Zhi felt instantly healed.

Those negative emotions seemed to be instantly dispelled by the delicious food.

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan looked at Jiang Zhi with a deep gaze and said something in a low voice. Jiang Zhi only saw Ling Jingyuan's mouth moving but couldn't hear what he said. She couldn't help but look at Ling Jingyuan in confusion.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you."

Ling Jingyuan glanced down at Jiang Zhi, his eyes dark, and a slight smile played on his lips.

"It's nothing. Telling you to eat more is the greatest way you can thank me."

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this and lowered her head to begin eating seriously.

The two ate quietly. After the meal, Jiang Zhi took the initiative to clear the dishes, feeling embarrassed to let Ling Jingyuan clean up the mess. When she returned to the living room after washing the dishes, she found the man sitting upright on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the time, then looked at the man on the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly.

"Jiang Zhi".

Ling Jingyuan was faster than her, and the man looked up at Jiang Zhi with a burning and forceful gaze.

"Want to be my girlfriend?" Ling Jingyuan stood up and walked directly to Jiang Zhi's side.

Jiang Zhi felt a surge of nervousness as she watched the man approaching her from the dining table. She frowned slightly, but her feet wouldn't move. Hearing Ling Jingyuan's words, Jiang Zhi resolutely shook her head.

Ling Jingyuan walked up to Jiang Zhi and looked at her shaking her head, his eyes slightly dim.

"Jiang Zhi, what is our relationship now?"

There's no way things can happen between him and her!

Boyfriend and girlfriend? Impossible!

At most, their relationship was that of bed partners; she opened her mouth but didn't say it aloud.

Looking at Jiang Zhi's pained face, Ling Jingyuan felt a pang of heartache and was unwilling to pressure her any further. He stepped forward, scooped her up with his long arm, and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

"Jiang Zhi, it's okay if you don't want to be my girlfriend."

"I can be your bed partner, your only bed partner, for free."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at the man with surprise in her beautiful yet alluring eyes. What was this man like...?

After speaking, the man lowered his head and kissed Jiang Zhi's lips, his eyes burning with intense heat as he looked at her. "So, do you want to test your bed partner's service capabilities?"

"Well……"

Jiang Zhi, whose lips were sealed, was unable to speak at all.

Ling Jingyuan looked down at the woman in his arms, his eyes dark and burning. He didn't give Jiang Zhi a chance to refuse, and directly carried her back to Jiang Zhi's room, put her on the bed, and then quickly left.

Jiang Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief, watching the man's departing figure with a slight frown.

She couldn't understand Ling Jingyuan anymore; she couldn't fathom what he was thinking. She stayed in the room for a while, then got up and went to the living room to see if he had left.

Jiang Zhi didn't see the man in the living room and assumed he had left, but then she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, followed by Ling Jingyuan's voice.

"Jiang Zhi, get me a clean towel."

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; this person hadn't left and was actually taking a bath.

Just as Jiang Zhi was in a daze, Ling Jingyuan's voice came from the bathroom again.

"Jiang Zhi, are you there? If you're not going to take it, then I'll just go out and get it myself, naked..."

Upon hearing the man's words, Jiang Zhi blushed as she recalled the scene of him walking around naked in the living room. What was this man saying?

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback before immediately saying, "Don't come out, I'll go find it for you."

After saying that, she immediately went to the cabinet, took a clean towel, walked to the bathroom door, knocked gently, and then turned around to hand the towel over.

The door opened, and a man stretched out a strong, muscular arm, grabbed Jiang Zhi's hand, and pulled her inside with a slight pull.

"Ling..."

Before Jiang Zhi could finish speaking, she was pulled into a hot, steamy embrace, and her lips were deeply kissed by the man.

Ling Jingyuan lowered his head and pulled the woman tightly into his arms. Just a moment ago at the dinner table, he had seen sadness in the woman's eyes.

That look made his heart ache slightly. He didn't know what this woman had been through, but he just wanted her to never have that sadness in her eyes again.

"Honey, how about trying out your bed partner service?"

The man's hot breath sprayed onto Jiang Zhi's face, and she was only wrapped in a bath towel, which was hers.

The man was tall and his clothes were a bit short, barely covering his buttocks.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Jiang Zhi could clearly feel the man's hot and intense breath.

The man's gaze was intense and powerful, filled with a strong sense of aggression. He lowered his dark eyes and stared straight at Jiang Zhi.

A burning kiss landed instantly on her earlobe, then slid down her neck...

The large, burning hot hand that had been gripping Jiang Zhi's waist had somehow moved to her back, gently igniting a fire on her sensitive, smooth back.

"Ling Jingyuan... um..."

The man's kiss was so intense and deep that Jiang Zhi's strange sensations began to resurface, and her body started to go weak and felt hot all over.

Ling Jingyuan's eyes were frighteningly dark. He lifted the person up with a slight effort, opened the door, and walked towards Jiang Zhi's bedroom...
