Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

When Tang Junyao came out after washing her hands, she saw the man sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless, his hands on the waistband of his pants...

She was startled and rushed over to stop him, her voice cracking with agitation, "What are you doing?"

Ji Hancheng looked up at her with a serious expression and said, "To make it easier for you to check."

What she said seemed reasonable enough, and she couldn't refute it, but the occasion was wrong; it was at home, not in the hospital, so the atmosphere changed accordingly.

She looked away shyly and said awkwardly, "Put your clothes back on first, I can check them even if you're wearing them."

He objected, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "You can examine me even when I'm fully clothed? Does Dr. Tang have X-ray vision? You would have seen right through me by now."

Taking a deep breath, too lazy to respond to him, she walked shakily to his side to check the injury on his back. Her soft fingertips pressed on his back, and the tingling sensation made her Adam's apple bob.

Tang Junyao adopted the demeanor of a doctor, examining every inch of the body, silently vowing never to play boxing with this person again, only to have to undergo this kind of examination afterward.

He had a good physique, a straight posture, and explosive muscles all over his body. She silently counted eight, his blocky pectoral muscles gave people the first impression of being strong, powerful, and physically strong.

Her thoughts drifted a little far away, a little risqué. She realized she was having inappropriate thoughts about men, and a blush crept onto her face, making her look quite alluring.

He noticed every change in her expression, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "What are you thinking about, Dr. Tang?"

Concealing his impure thoughts, he feigned composure and said, "It's nothing. I've been checked out, and there are no injuries. Young Master Ji, please go back now. I'm going to sleep."

Ji Hancheng completely ignored her order to leave. "Dr. Tang, are you so guilty that you want me to sleep with you, or perhaps you want me to..."

She quickly reached out and covered his mouth, trying to pull him up with one hand, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. She couldn't pull him up and instead fell into his solid chest.

At this moment, his upper body was completely naked, and she was only wearing a thin nightgown. The room was heated to 26 degrees Celsius, and the two could clearly feel their skin colliding through the fabric.

The air froze for a moment, leaving only the sound of their breathing.

The second time they were so close, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. Her cheeks were even darker than before, and her ears were slightly red. She tried to stand up, but her waist was firmly held by a warm, large hand.

A deep, husky voice sounded in her ear, "Don't move."

She dared not submit, struggling and trying to get up by twisting her hips. But as she moved, her hips suddenly became... something that made her question the meaning of life...

Realizing something was wrong, she stared with her big, round eyes, her eyelashes fluttering as she blinked, her face flushed as she wanted to ask him a question, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

In reality, when Ji Hancheng was helping her examine her body, touching and pressing her inch by inch, he was already on the verge of losing control. Even he himself did not expect that coming in at night just to tease her would turn into... a social disaster.

This was something he hadn't expected; he would lose control again because of this woman's touch—this was the third time.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was slightly stiff. The next second, he slowly lowered his head and buried it in her white neck. "Let me catch my breath. Don't move anymore, or you'll face the consequences. You're a doctor, you should know that this is a normal man's reaction."

Tang Junyao's back was as stiff as a stone, and she dared not move at all.

As a doctor, she knows that men's bodies react in this way. But can that be the same as her actual touch?

Coming to her room to cause trouble so late at night instead of sleeping, is Young Master Ji lacking women lately?

As she drifted off into thought, she heard a man's voice again around her neck, "Stop having those messy thoughts. My life isn't that chaotic."

Tang Junyao had reason to suspect that this person had studied psychology, but she couldn't ask him directly. If she asked now, it would be an admission that she had just been fantasizing about his messy private life.

She lied guiltily, "No, are you done yet? I'm going to sleep."

The man in the crook of her neck didn't react at all. She wondered if he was asleep, so she gently nudged his shoulder.

The man finally responded, "Mmm."

He slowly loosened his slender waist, and as he did so, Tang Junyao quickly stood up.

His heart felt empty, as if he had lost something precious. With a cold face, he picked up his clothes and walked out of the room.

Tang Junyao: What's wrong with this person lately?

Never mind, I locked the door, applied the medicine Ji Hancheng brought, pulled back the covers and went to sleep, soon drifting off to sleep.

In her sleep, Tang Junyao vaguely felt her body getting hotter and hotter, as if a heat source was approaching.

She felt a sting on her cheek and lips, itchy. She unconsciously reached out and touched her forehead, but there was nothing there. She continued to sleep.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sun, which had taken a day off, shone brightly.

I stretched comfortably, the good weather made me happy, what should I eat?

I picked up my phone from the bedside table and glanced at it. It was already 7:30. Su Xue was probably still sleeping. I decided to go for a run first.

She took out her sportswear from the closet and changed into it. As soon as she stepped outside, a gust of cold wind blew into her collar, so she pulled it up higher.

"Run." A sudden voice rang out from behind.

She turned her head slowly and found Ji Hancheng, dressed in sportswear, standing tall and straight behind her.

He seems to be quite free lately; I see him every morning when I wake up. "You haven't been to work."

"Hmm, nothing much this morning, wanna go together?" He had three meetings scheduled for the morning, all of which he postponed until the evening, much to the dismay of his employees.

The unexpected overtime meeting cast a shadow over everyone's mood, a shadow that even the fine weather couldn't dispel.

Unaware of the situation, Tang Junyao readily agreed. After all, it would be quite boring to run around alone, and it would be nice to have someone to keep her company. Ji Hancheng didn't seem that difficult to get along with lately. "Okay."

His gaze fell on the woman's red lips, a dark and ambiguous smile in his eyes. "A few kilometers."

It would take about two hours to run round trip, and by then it would be 10 o'clock. He probably wouldn't have that much free time, would he? She didn't answer how many kilometers it was, but said, "It might take me more than an hour to run. Will that interfere with your work time?"

"Can."

Tang Junyao: Is the Ji family currently experiencing a market downturn and have a lot of free time?

Why did you become a doctor?

This question had indeed troubled him for a long time. He couldn't understand why someone with such a personality could be so patient as to become a doctor, working day and night shifts without missing a single day, and being so diligent.

There must be some reason for this.

She didn't answer his question. "Young Master Ji, are you trying to understand my initial motivation for becoming a doctor, fearing I'm not up to the task?"

Grandpa once said he hoped we wouldn't try to understand her through investigation. Indeed, I've recently discovered that she doesn't seem to have any joy in marrying into a wealthy family, nor does she seem to want to take a single penny from me. Instead, she draws a clear line between money and her own interests.
