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

Family-oriented.

In Gu Shen's bedroom, he looked at the phone that had been hung up and tried to call back, but couldn't get through. His face turned pale; he knew that Jiang Zhi had blocked him.

I used to think Jiang Zhi was pure and beautiful, but it turns out she's just like any other woman, vain and materialistic.

Her affection for him couldn't withstand the temptation of money and power. Didn't she like herself?

Why can't she suffer some grievances for him? He has already promised her that he can give her everything except a formal title.

Is that title really that important?

She knew perfectly well that she had no background and could not help him at all. Since she liked him, why didn't she think more about him?

Does she have the family background and power of Liu Sisi's family?

Could she have a father like Liu Sisi who could help her in her career?

The innocent and beautiful Jiang Zhi in his heart back then has long since changed, and is no longer like the person she used to be!

Unable to get through on the phone, Gu Shen angrily threw his phone aside, letting out a deep breath, somewhat resentful.

The woman he had guarded for so many years had become someone else's woman, and he felt a deep, unbearable pain in his heart.

Ling Jingyuan, why Ling Jingyuan!

If Jiang Zhi had just randomly chosen an ordinary man who was inferior to her, the man standing at the top of the pyramid wouldn't be so upset!

Why Ling Jingyuan of all people? It makes him look like he lost particularly badly and that he's particularly incompetent!

Because he simply lacked the resources and conditions to compete with Ling Jingyuan!

"Jiang Zhi, I've truly misjudged you all these years!"

"Just as I thought, my mother was right. You are a materialistic and superficial woman, not at all the pure, innocent, and beautiful woman I imagined."

"I shouldn't have hit someone for you back then..."

Gu Shen's eyes were somewhat dark, and his expression was rather frightening as he muttered to himself.

The phone that had been tossed onto the bed suddenly rang. Gu Shen paused slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. If it was Jiang Zhi calling, he was willing to give her a chance to forgive her.

He quickly grabbed his phone, opened it, and saw it was Liu Sisi's number. He frowned slightly but still pressed the answer button.

"Gu Shen, I miss you so much. Will you come over and keep me company tonight?"

Liu Sisi's arrogant yet alluring voice came from the phone. Gu Shen hesitated for only a second before speaking in a deep voice.

"Wait for me, I'm coming right away."

The woman on the phone chuckled sweetly, "Hurry up, I have a surprise for you..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shen's eyes darkened, and he quickly hung up the phone. This Liu Sisi was bold and skilled in bed; the two had booked rooms together several times, and their interactions in bed were very compatible.

His marriage to Liu Sisi will not change; Liu Sisi's family background will allow him to work much less for many years.

He was determined to succeed in his future endeavors.

As for Jiang Zhi, that hypocritical and vain woman, he could give her a chance if she was willing to accept his previous suggestion. But if she remained stubborn and insisted on following Ling Jingyuan, she would only be asking for trouble.

There's such a huge difference in their backgrounds and social statuses; there's absolutely no way they could be together!

Ling Jingyuan has seen all kinds of women in his circle. What kind of future would he have with her?

Only Jiang Zhi is foolish; in Ling Jingyuan's eyes, she's nothing more than a plaything! Once Ling Jingyuan gets tired of her and loses interest, he'll kick her aside sooner or later!

Thinking about it this way, Gu Shen felt a little better.

He picked up his phone and keys, turned around, and went straight to Liu Sisi's house.

……

Jiang Zhijia.

Since answering the phone, Jiang Zhi has sat silently on the sofa. She is completely lost, staring blankly ahead like a beautifully crafted doll whose soul has been ripped out.

Exquisite, beautiful, and fragile.

Jiang Zhi sat there for half an hour, and finally, amidst a series of urgent knocks on the door, she slowly regained her senses, as if her soul was slowly returning.

She turned her head slightly to look at the door that was being knocked loudly, slowly got up and walked to the door. She paused slightly when she saw the figure on the video phone.

Ling Jingyuan!

"Jiang Zhi, open the door."

Ling Jingyuan's familiar yet somewhat anxious voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Zhi calmly opened the door, and as soon as the door opened, she was pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.

"Jiang Zhi, I miss you."

Ling Jingyuan didn't say anything or ask anything, he just held her quietly like that. For the first time, Jiang Zhi felt that Ling Jingyuan's embrace was so safe and warm.

She unconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist, and for the first time, she relaxed completely and took the initiative to hug him, gently resting her head against his strong and powerful chest and slowly closing her eyes.

"I'll sleep here tonight."

Ling Jingyuan sensed the silence and unease of the woman in his arms and couldn't help but speak softly.

Jiang Zhi didn't speak, but just nodded slightly. For the first time ever, Jiang Zhi wanted Ling Jingyuan to stay. His embrace was so warm that she wanted to cry.

"Sweetie, go wash up and get some rest."

Ling Jingyuan looked at the woman who seemed a little clingy to him today with heartache in his eyes. He carried her to the bathroom and let her wash up.

He went to the kitchen and heated up a glass of milk for her. When Jiang Zhi came out, he handed her the warmed milk in a gentle and doting tone.

"Drink this."

Jiang Zhi glanced at Ling Jingyuan and obediently finished her milk. Then she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth before returning to her bedroom.

Ling Jingyuan watched the woman return to her room, then quickly went into the bathroom, washed up, put on the bathrobe he had left there last time, and returned to his bedroom.

A small lamp was left on in the bedroom, and a small figure on the bed was curled up in a ball. Seeing this, Ling Jingyuan lay down next to Jiang Zhi and pulled her thin, soft body close to his.

His large hand tightly encircled her slender waist, and he looked down at her with deep eyes.

"Jiang Zhi, go to sleep, I'm here."

After saying that, Ling Jingyuan placed an extremely gentle kiss on Jiang Zhi's forehead, then raised his hand to turn off the bedside lamp.

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant. Jiang Zhi was held tightly in the man's arms. This was the first time the two of them had slept in each other's arms.

Jiang Zhi slowly closed her eyes and leaned against Ling Jingyuan's chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling the familiar aura around him, she felt incredibly at ease and relaxed.

In the darkness, Ling Jingyuan looked at the woman sleeping in his arms, his dark eyes filled with tenderness.

He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Zhi's lips precisely in the darkness, tenderly and tenderly, giving her a light kiss before slowly releasing her.

"Jiang Zhi, hurry up and fall in love with me."

Ling Jingyuan reached out and gently stroked Jiang Zhi's eyebrows and eyes, speaking softly.

He's starting to get greedy!

He wanted her heart, one hundred percent of her heart.

He wanted her to have only him in her heart!

He no longer just wanted her to be his girlfriend; he wanted to take her home and make her truly his.

He wanted more.
