Chen Ye listened to Zhang Lingxi's hoarse sobs.

I feel like my chest is completely soaked with tears.

Warm tears clung to his skin.

This also gradually calmed his initially agitated mood.

Chen Ye's hand was still on her back.

He could clearly feel the scar left from saving him.

That rough texture stimulated Chen Ye's nerves again and again.

He originally wanted to push Zhang Lingxi away.

The moment that scar was touched, it vanished completely.

"I'm really not useless... I want to help you too..."

Zhang Lingxi buried her face in Chen Ye's arms, her voice full of grievance.

She gripped Chen Ye's shirt tightly at his waist with both hands.

Chen Ye sighed, placed his palm flat, and gently patted her back twice.

"Who said you're useless? You've been a great help these past few days."

Chen Ye softened his tone and, unusually, gave her a word of affirmation.

He is used to being sarcastic and has a habit of using a suppressive teaching style.

Now, suddenly speaking in such a gentle tone, even he himself felt a little uncomfortable.

"real?"

Zhang Lingxi suddenly raised her head.

Her swollen, red eyes stared intently at Chen Ye.

"When have I ever lied to anyone about a case?"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow and asked a question in return.

Zhang Lingxi sniffed.

The deep grievance in her eyes finally dissipated after those words.

She finally received Chen Ye's personal approval.

The feelings of inferiority that had been weighing on my heart for so long were soothed by this affirmation.

Zhang Lingxi was so emotional just now that she had already thrown her coat on the ground.

At this moment, she was only wearing a close-fitting black undershirt.

She paired it with a very simple pair of black underwear.

The warm light from the living room ceiling fell on her fair skin, creating an extremely strong visual impact.

The lingering effects of the alcohol, combined with the intense crying earlier, made Zhang Lingxi's breathing extremely rapid.

Large swathes of fair skin were right in front of me.

Chen Ye is a perfectly normal, experienced driver.

He was facing someone who had just confessed his love to him and had once risked his life to save him.

A beautiful woman who is now completely unsuspecting and snuggling into his arms.

If he still doesn't react at all, then he should really go to the hospital and make an appointment.

Chen Ye's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and his breathing became heavier without his noticing.

Zhang Lingxi seemed to have noticed Chen Ye's change.

Instead of backing down, she stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around Chen Ye's neck.

She pressed herself against it again.

This time, there was none of the madness and anger he had shown when venting his emotions.

The sweet aroma of rice wine, mixed with Zhang Lingxi's faint fragrance, entered Chen Ye's nostrils.

Chen Ye's rational defenses began to crumble little by little.

This woman had already said all that, yet she still took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

If I were to pretend to be a virtuous gentleman, I would truly be insane.

Chen Ye reached out and put his arm around Zhang Lingxi's slender waist, pulling her directly in front of him.

The distance between the two instantly closed.

Zhang Lingxi let out a muffled murmur and hugged her arms even tighter.

She was almost completely attached to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye's palm slowly slid up Zhang Lingxi's back.

His fingertips circled the raised scar and stopped at the button on her back.

With just a gentle flick of the finger, that last bit of resistance will be completely released.

The two seemed to know exactly what would happen next.

Chen Ye's mind was already racing, planning his next course of action.

Should we just relieve this agonizing torment on this spacious sofa?

Or should we simply carry her back to the soft, big bed in the master bedroom and settle the score later?

Zhang Lingxi's body was incredibly soft, and her body temperature was frighteningly high.

Chen Ye applied slight pressure with his fingers, and his fingertips touched the row of cold clasps.

Just as he was about to completely remove this obstacle.

The woman who had been wriggling and demanding in his arms suddenly became completely still.

Chen Ye's hand movements stopped instantly.

He froze for a few seconds, but Zhang Lingxi still didn't react.

Chen Ye lowered his head and leaned close to Zhang Lingxi's ear to listen carefully.

A steady, slightly snoring breath came clearly from his chest.

Chen Ye froze on the spot.

All the romantic thoughts and chaotic ideas that filled his mind shattered instantly.

Chen Ye held up two fingers in disbelief.

He grabbed Zhang Lingxi's chin and forcibly lifted her face.

Zhang Lingxi's eyes were tightly closed, and tears from her earlier crying still clung to her long eyelashes.

Her mouth was slightly open, and there was a little bit of glistening water at the corner of her lips.

Are you asleep?

At this critical juncture where something could go wrong at any moment, she actually fell asleep?

Chen Ye stared wide-eyed at Zhang Lingxi's peacefully sleeping face.

An inexplicable anger suddenly surged within me.

He felt like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit and was about to burst.

As a result, the other party not only unplugged the air pump, but also blocked the vent!

"Zhang Lingxi, wake up!"

Chen Ye gritted his teeth and growled, shaking her shoulders forcefully with both hands.

Zhang Lingxi showed no reaction.

She simply followed Chen Ye's swaying motion.

He tilted his head to the other side and even smacked his lips comfortably a couple of times.

She was crying and making a scene just now.

She had long since vented all her emotions and energy.

In addition, the half-jar of extremely potent homemade rice wine was now fully released within his body.

Most importantly, she finally received a word of affirmation from Chen Ye.

The biggest weight that had been pressing on my heart has finally been lifted.

Several factors combined.

This directly triggered Zhang Lingxi's brain's forced shutdown procedure.

Chen Ye looked at the woman in his arms, who was completely drunk, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

What exactly is going on here?

He had finally mustered up the mental strength to prepare himself, ready to take this girl in tonight.

As a result, she took off half of her clothes and immediately performed a standing-up fall asleep demonstration.

Chen Ye took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the raging fire within his body.

He glanced down at Zhang Lingxi's current attire.

The black, form-fitting fabric accentuated her beautiful figure.

Her slender waist and fair thighs were exposed to the air without any defense.

If it were a man with less self-control...

It's not impossible that he could cross the line while she's asleep.

But Chen Ye couldn't do such a thing.

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is such a despicable tactic.

Even if he's usually a scoundrel, he would never do something like that.

Taking your anger out on a completely unconscious drunkard is a crime, not flirting.

"Consider yourself lucky."

Chen Ye muttered something fiercely, his tone full of resentment.

He bent down, slipped one hand under Zhang Lingxi's legs, and supported her back with the other.

A standard princess carry scooped the drunkard up.

Zhang Lingxi leaned her head on Chen Ye's shoulder.

It even rubbed against Chen Ye's neck twice.

Warm breath hit Chen Ye's neck directly.

Chen Ye gasped, feeling the anger he had just suppressed rise up again.

"You better behave yourself!"

Chen Ye gave a warning in a low voice.

The only response he received was Zhang Lingxi's steady breathing.

Chen Ye carried her and strode towards the second bedroom.

Reaching the doorway, he lifted his foot and kicked open the door to the second bedroom with the instep of his foot.

The light coming from the living room made Chen Ye's head ache again.

Anran lay sprawled out on the bed by the window.

She had already kicked the blanket to the ground.

She was sprawled out on the bed, her sleeping posture extremely unrestrained.

She was completely unlike her usual pitiful, manipulative self.

Chen Ye glanced at it and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

These two women are a perfect match.

Chen Ye walked to another empty bed, bent down and put Zhang Lingxi down.

The moment Zhang Lingxi touched the soft bed, she automatically curled up into a ball.

She found a comfortable position, buried her face in the pillow, and continued to sleep soundly.

Chen Ye stood by the bed, looking down at the pitiful amount of fabric covering her body.

This scene really tests one's composure.

Chen Ye turned his head and casually pulled a thin blanket from the chair next to him.

He threw the blanket directly onto Zhang Lingxi.

All those intriguing landscapes were completely covered up.

Standing between the two beds, looking at the two women who were fast asleep.

The meal I ate today has shortened my lifespan by several years.

Chen Ye rubbed his throbbing temples and turned to leave the second bedroom.

Just as I reached the door, I suddenly heard An Ran's indistinct voice behind me.

"Chen Ye... don't run away..."

Chen Ye paused and looked back.

An Ran closed her eyes and smacked her lips twice, clearly talking in her sleep.

"That old bald guy... I'll smash your mouth in..."

Even in her dream, Anran was still arguing with the opposing lawyer or the presiding judge of the case filing division.

She waved one hand wildly in the air twice, almost hitting the bedside table next to her.

Then she turned over and muttered something else.

"Zhang Lingxi...you scheming woman...Chen Ye is mine...you're not allowed to take him..."

After saying that, An Ran smacked her lips and continued to snore softly.

Chen Ye stood by the door, and his lips twitched as he listened to these words of sleep-talking.

Chen Ye shook his head helplessly and closed the bedroom door behind him.

Back in the spacious living room, Zhang Lingxi's tank top, which she had just torn off, was still lying on the carpet.

Chen Ye walked over and kicked the garment into the corner of the sofa.

I walked to the master bedroom door, pushed it open, and went inside.

Looks like I'll have to take a long, cold shower tonight before I can even fall asleep.
