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

Why do you look so haggard?

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. A vixen?

Ling Jingyuan is not a fox spirit, but a male fox spirit, a real male fox spirit!

She's been harassed by that man for the past few days, and she feels like she's overindulged.

Fortunately, the man finally left today, otherwise she was really afraid that if things continued like this, she would die in bed sooner or later.

"Treasure."

Seeing her best friend's expression, Shen Yutong couldn't help but think of something and looked at Jiang Zhi with a gossipy expression.

"Have you been with Ling Jingyuan these past few days? You two... you know..."

Shen Yutong looked at Jiang Zhi with an ambiguous expression as she spoke, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Jiang Zhi blushed slightly upon hearing this, but still nodded gently, "Yes, he just left."

"No wonder you looked so drained; it was all because of that man."

Shen Yutong paused here, looking at Jiang Zhi's appearance with a pang of heartache, "But this man is really too much, look how exhausted you are!"

"Zhibao, you can't spoil this man."

Jiang Zhi blushed slightly upon hearing this topic, and she nodded and quickly changed the subject.

Looking at the bag of food at her feet, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did you suddenly decide to have dinner with me today? What did you buy here?"

Shen Yutong paused slightly upon hearing this, glanced at the bag on the ground, and looked utterly dejected.

"Just some snacks I bought casually."

"My darling, I've messed up."

Jiang Zhi looked puzzled. "What? What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

Shen Yutong felt a pang of regret when she thought about how she had impulsively kissed Fu Libai last night, and she sighed softly.

"My darling, I..."

"Oh no, my darling, what should I do?"

Shen Yutong looked at Jiang Zhi with a hopeless expression, and Jiang Zhi was also shocked after hearing his friend's words.

She thought for a moment, then calmly looked at her friend and asked softly, "Yutong, do you like that Fu Libai?"

Jiang Zhi's words made Shen Yutong pause slightly. Jiang Zhi knew she had guessed correctly as soon as she saw her friend's reaction.

A faint bitterness crept onto Shen Yutong's lovely face as she looked at Jiang Zhi, "Mm."

"But I know he doesn't like me."

"He could never like me. He's always been attracted to glamorous and alluring women. He would never like someone like me."

Jiang Zhi frowned upon hearing this, unsure how to comfort her friend. Relationships are truly a matter of personal experience; outsiders can offer little help.

"Yutong," Jiang Zhi said softly, gently embracing her friend.

"Don't rush, you will eventually find your own happiness."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yutong smiled and hugged Jiang Zhi back, nodding gently, "Yes, don't worry, I'm fine. Come on, let's go eat something delicious. Look how much I bought..."

Shen Yutong's emotions came and went quickly. She smiled and pulled Jiang Zhi to open the bag she had brought. Inside, there were all sorts of snacks, cooked food, cakes, pastries, drinks, and other random things.

Jiang Zhi looked at the things and smiled indulgently, nodding. The two sat on the carpet, put the things on the small coffee table, and chatted casually while eating the snacks. The girls' wonderful time continued.

Shen Yutong stayed until very late before going home. If Jiang Zhi didn't have to go to work tomorrow, she would have liked to stay here tonight and not go back.

After seeing Shen Yutong off, Jiang Zhi tidied up the living room before washing up. Lying on the bed, Jiang Zhi turned off the light and gently closed her eyes.

She was deeply moved by what her friend had done.

Love is indeed a luxury, something you can only hope to encounter.

The sun rises as usual, and life goes on.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhi got up on time, quickly washed up, and went to the living room. She glanced at the clothes and bags that Ling Jingyuan had bought yesterday and slowly looked away.

Yesterday, my friend Shen Yutong said that those things were all high-end luxury items, with one bag costing millions and the whole bunch of stuff costing tens of millions.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the items, then turned and left.

She cannot accept these things.

Design institute.

Upon entering the company, one is immediately struck by the tense and busy atmosphere.

Not long after Jiang Zhigang sat down, he received a notification that Kunyao Group's client suddenly wanted to see the proposal today and had scheduled a project presentation for the morning.

Jiang Zhi quickly turned on her computer to prepare the materials. Fortunately, the previous plan had already been prepared. She took the materials and went to Kunyao Group with Fang Jingjun.

In the car, Fang Jingjun looked at Jiang Zhi and said, "Xiao Jiang, this meeting today was requested by the young lady of their group. You'd better make sure you're well prepared."

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this. She knew about Kunyao Group; it was considered one of the top two elite families in Beijing.

"I heard that the young lady of Kunyao Group intends to marry Ling Jingyuan, the president of Ling Group. If the two families really do get married, you need to pay even more attention to your project, as they are both major clients of ours."

"Do you understand?"

Jiang Zhi was slightly taken aback. A marriage alliance?

Yes, it's right that two wealthy heiresses and their sons are a good match, a perfect match.

She lowered her eyes slightly, but felt a pang of indescribable bitterness in her heart.

"Yes, I know."

Kunyao Group conference room.

A young, somewhat assertive woman seated at the head of the table spoke with displeasure, "Is this the only plan?"

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this. This plan had been shown to Qin Man's father before, and President Qin had approved it.

Fang Jingjun glanced at Miss Qin, who looked somewhat dissatisfied, and explained, "Ms. Qin, she reviewed this plan before and approved of it..."

"Manager Fang, I'm in charge of this project now!"

Qin Man glanced at Fang Jingjun and interrupted him unhappily.

This was the first project she was in charge of at the company. The lighting investment was in the tens of millions, so how could they possibly dismiss her with just one plan?

"Go back and come up with three new plans, then we'll take a look."

After Qin Man finished speaking, she stepped out of the conference room. Jiang Zhi and Fang Jingjun exchanged a helpless glance. The two tidied up, picked up their laptops, and left the conference room.

"Mom, have you made an appointment with Aunt Zhou? Ask her to arrange for Ling Jingyuan and me to meet..."

As Qin Man's voice faded into the distance, Jiang Zhi gently withdrew her gaze. She couldn't help but recall a phone call she overheard Ling Jingyuan making at home earlier.

She heard Qin Man's name on the phone...

Jiang Zhi felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart. Fang Jingjun frowned and glanced at Jiang Zhi. "Let's go back quickly and have a meeting to discuss this plan."

"it is good."

Jiang Zhi suppressed the bitterness in her heart, picked up her laptop, and returned to the company with Fang Jingjun.

Upon returning to the company, all the design team members in charge of this project went to the conference room. The meeting lasted for an hour, during which three design directions were determined, and everyone immediately got busy.

Jiang Zhi threw herself into her work and tried not to think about anything else. At eight o'clock in the evening, she dragged her tired body out of the elevator.

After walking a few steps, I saw the tall and familiar figure standing at my door.

Jiang Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything as she opened the door and went inside. Ling Jingyuan's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Zhi, but when he saw Jiang Zhi's expression, his eyes darkened, and he followed her in carrying Jiang Zhi's favorite cake.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the pile of things worth tens of millions next to the sofa, and thinking of the marriage between Ling Jingyuan and Qin Man, she lowered her eyes slightly.

She and he were wrong from the start, and now they should end that mistake.

She turned slightly, her gaze rational and serious as she looked at Ling Jingyuan and spoke softly.
