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

Zhou Siye had just returned to his residence from the old house, and he rubbed his temples wearily.

Going back is the same old routine: pressuring people to get married or arranging business marriages. There's never anything new to it. They're not tired of it, but he's tired of it himself.

Looking at the spacious yet cold mansion, Zhou Siye suddenly felt a bit bored.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but think of Lin Li's house. It wasn't big, you could say it was small, but it was very warm and comfortable, which made him somewhat infatuated.

Zhou Siye's eyes darkened, and without hesitation, he got up, grabbed his car keys and phone, and went straight out the door.

Forty minutes later, he stood at the door of Lin Li's house and gently rang the doorbell. After a long while, a woman's somewhat strange voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

Zhou Siye was slightly taken aback when he heard the woman's voice. Did she have a cold?

"it's me."

Inside the house, Lin Li was dressed in casual home clothes, her hair casually tied up, revealing her fair and slender swan neck.

Without makeup, she looked naturally beautiful, like a lotus emerging from clear water, giving her a more approachable and friendly look compared to her usual glamorous and sophisticated white-collar appearance.

"Mr. Zhou? Is something the matter?"

Lin Li sniffed and spoke with a strong nasal tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye couldn't help but frown. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he always felt uneasy about Lin Li, even though she had returned to work after her vacation.

"Yes, Lin Li, open the door."

Zhou Siye's voice unconsciously rose slightly, and he himself did not realize that there was a hint of anger in his voice.

Lin Li paused slightly upon hearing this. Although her reason told her to stay away from him, the pull of her emotions still made her gently open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Zhou Siye's tall figure squeezed in.

He slammed the door shut, his deep eyes fixed on Lin Li. Seeing the woman before him with her bare face, her eyes softening, her nose red, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

Lin Li didn't speak upon hearing this, but simply looked at Zhou Siye and spoke rationally.

"Mr. Zhou, what brings you here?"

Hearing Lin Li's rational yet distant tone, Zhou Siye felt a tightness in his chest for some reason.

His face was cold, his aura was strong and carried a hint of oppressive atmosphere, and he looked at Lin Li with indifferent eyes.

Lin Li was feeling terrible. For some reason, her cold had gotten worse over the past few days. She had just taken some medicine and was about to take a nap when this man arrived.

Her throat was a little itchy, so she couldn't help but cough a few times. After coughing, she looked a little embarrassed and her snot was about to drip down her nose.

Ignoring Zhou Siye standing to the side, she quickly ran to the sofa and coffee table, grabbed a few tissues, and wiped her nose.

Lin Li threw the used paper into the trash can and went into the bathroom to wash her hands.

bathroom.

Lin Li looked at her somewhat haggard reflection in the mirror and gave a slight, bitter smile.

I was planning to quit my job after working for a few days after returning home, but I caught a bad cold these past two days and haven't had a chance to mention it.

She had hoped to leave Zhou Siye with the image of a bright, beautiful, and generous secretary, but who knew he would see her looking like this today.

Lin Li frowned slightly, then seemed to have figured it out. She took a deep breath and washed her face with cold water.

Forget it, so be it.

This is the real her.

Anyway, she'll be resigning soon, getting away from here and away from Zhou Siye, so be it.

Zhou Siye watched Lin Li's suddenly disappearing figure and stood still for a moment. His deep eyes held no disdain or contempt, only curiosity and a strong interest.

Zhou Siye's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. So this is what Secretary Lin, who is always bright, beautiful, generous and professional at the company, is like in private?

This was the first time he'd ever seen something like this; it was so real and... adorable!

After Lin Li washed her hands and face, she came out and found that Zhou Siye was still standing there. She was slightly taken aback, walked to the man's side, and spoke softly.

"Mr. Zhou, what exactly do you want to see me about?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Siye didn't say anything but pulled Lin Li over, and the two of them slumped onto the sofa.

"My door lock is broken, I need to stay overnight..."

The man spoke without batting an eye, and Lin Li looked like she'd seen a ghost, as if to say, "See if I believe you or not."

The dignified president of the Zhou Group is short of money for a locksmith?

Zhou Siye didn't care whether Lin Li believed him or not; he was determined to stay here tonight.

……

The Ling Jingyuan family's top-tier luxury residence.

in the bathroom.

The man under the shower had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight, slender legs. His voice sounded slightly breathless and heavy in the mist.

Ling Jingyuan glanced at his body with a wry smile, then gave a slight, helpless laugh.

Meeting Jiang Zhi meant certain doom for him.

Under the cover of the sound of water, the sounds of water and the man's deep voice rose and fell in a low voice.

In the living room, on the sofa.

Jiang Zhi's face was also red and hot. She got up, walked to the dining table, poured herself a glass of water, took a few sips, and tried to calm herself down.

In fact, she had long realized that it wasn't just Ling Jingyuan who was moved by her every interaction with him.

So is she.

After a long while, Ling Jingyuan came out of the bathroom. When Jiang Zhi looked up, she saw a picture of a handsome man emerging from the bath.

Ling Jingyuan was wearing a black bathrobe, the belt loosely tied, revealing his well-defined, muscular chest and some of his clearly sculpted abs.

The man's hair was still damp with water droplets, and a few of them slid down his angular face and fell onto his sexy collarbone and chest.

Jiang Zhi found Ling Jingyuan's appearance inexplicably... alluring.

The man's eyes were deep and dark. He walked up to Jiang Zhi and looked at her intently. Jiang Zhi was burned by the man's burning gaze, and she suddenly stood up when Ling Jingyuan got close.

"It's too late, you should get some rest."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she quickly ran away. Ling Jingyuan chuckled softly as he watched Jiang Zhi's somewhat flustered retreating figure, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

in the bathroom.

Jiang Zhi let out a soft sigh, quickly took a shower, put on her pajamas, and quietly slipped into the guest room next door.

master bedroom.

Ling Jingyuan leaned against the headboard and waited for a long time without seeing Jiang Zhi. He frowned slightly, got up and got out of bed, only to find that the woman had already hidden in the next room.

With a deep, dark look in his eyes, he pulled back the covers, gently lifted the person into his arms, and headed straight for his bedroom.

"Ling Jingyuan, I can sleep here..."

Ling Jingyuan didn't speak upon hearing this, but instead lowered his head and silenced her with his lips.

In his house, how could he possibly let her not be in his arms!

The two fell back onto the bed.

Jiang Zhi was pulled tightly into the man's arms, his strong and powerful arms encircling her waist with a forceful and possessive air.

Jiang Zhiwei paused slightly. She had only thought of sleeping in the next room because she was afraid that the man would take another cold shower later, but she didn't expect him to drag her back.

The man seemed to be punishing Jiang Zhigang for his earlier behavior; his kiss was forceful and intense.

Jiang Zhi was already overwhelmed by just one kiss. Her chest heaved violently, and her mind went blank for a moment, as if she were lacking oxygen.

Their hearts pounded wildly, their hot breaths mingling together.

"Jiang Zhi".

The man's deep, slightly husky voice, tinged with suppressed emotion, whispered in Jiang Zhi's ear.

Ling Jingyuan's breathing was heavy, and his rough breathing stimulated Jiang Zhi's hearing. She could feel the heat of the man's body.

Her face flushed slightly, and her whole body began to feel hot.

The man's breathing grew heavier, his deep breaths carrying a strong scent.

Jiang Zhi paused slightly, her face flushing even more; the man's breathing was simply too outrageous.
