Zhao Yanxi reached out and lightly pinched Ding Heng's waist: "You naughty thing, you must have planned this all along."

Ding Heng grasped her restless little hand.

"It's not a matter of scheming... Your dad is the kind of person who can't be controlled with money or intimidated with power. If you really try to force him with something, he'd rather quit his job and fight me to the death."

I called those two over just to show them my skills; the only person who can truly persuade your father is one.

"Who?"

"you."

"I?"

Zhao Yanxi looked completely bewildered.

"What your dad is most worried about is not how many women I have around me."

Ding Heng explained, "What he's really afraid of is that you know nothing and are completely fooled by me. Or that you might act impulsively now, but in a few years when you come to your senses, you'll find that you have no way out and know nothing but how to rely on me."

Zhao Yanxi quieted down, rested her chin on Ding Heng's chest, and carefully examined the man for a while.

"Brother Ding Heng."

"Ok?"

"I've realized I really have no way out. I'm completely under your control, Brother Ding Heng!"

After saying that, the kitten pretended to be annoyed and opened its mouth to bite Ding Heng's shoulder.

It wasn't a strong punishment; rather than a punishment, it was more like the kitten playing and being affectionate with its owner.

Ding Heng let her bite him, gently stroking the girl's back with his palm.

"Do you regret it?"

"No regrets."

Zhao Yanxi loosened her teeth without the slightest hesitation.

She had always worried that her parents would find out the truth.

With her mother crying and her father angry, she was caught between Ding Heng and her family, and forced to make a choice.

Now, the most difficult hurdle has been overcome.

Her father didn't bless her, but he was at least willing to acknowledge that his daughter was now an adult capable of taking responsibility for herself, and that was enough.

Zhao Yanxi let out a long breath and slumped back into Ding Heng's arms.

"I'm so sleepy."

Didn't sleep well last night?

"Ah."

Zhao Yanxi closed her eyes and pressed her cheek against the man's chest.

"I'm worried you'll get arrested by my dad."

Why are you arresting me?

"Bigamy."

"We're not married."

"Then it's hooliganism."

"It was cancelled a long time ago."

“My dad will add it back for you.”

……

Faced with the kitten's childish remarks, Ding Heng chuckled in disbelief and gently kissed her forehead.

Although Zhao Xingguo had just given his daughter a long and earnest lecture, it was clearly to little effect.

Ding Heng has completely taken control of Zhao Yanxi's future.

However, she didn't care. After several days of tension, she finally relaxed completely, her whole body wrapping around him like an octopus.

Just now, in front of her father, she was able to force herself to seriously discuss her life and choices.

Once back by Ding Heng's side, that bit of strength quickly vanished.

All that remains is unguarded dependence and longing.

The kitten can never leave its owner, never!

……

After resolving the issue with Zhao Yanxi's parents, Ding Heng stayed in Hong Kong for about a week, spending most of his time fooling around with the girls in the villa.

Especially Hua Qing.

The fairy never backed down verbally, always coldly saying things like "shameless" and "don't go too far," but when things really got heated, she was the one who couldn't take a joke the most.

As for Zhao Yanxi, she was noticeably more relaxed after successfully getting past her parents.

In the past, she would occasionally ponder her life and future, but now she has completely given up, sticking to Ding Heng's side and content to be a little cat.

Lin Man remained the same as always.

By day, she's Secretary Lin, a decisive and efficient executive at Hengbai Capital. But by night, back at the villa, she takes off her suit, throws away her high heels, and instantly transforms back into the most charming vixen who knows how to please her boss.

That morning, the heavy blackout curtains were tightly drawn, leaving the bedroom dimly lit and in a mess.

"Om..."

Ding Heng's phone suddenly rang.

Nobody paid any attention.

The vibration stopped after a few seconds.

Then, it rang out again.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Ding Heng frowned, closed his eyes, and reached for the bedside table. After groping around for a while, he only found a hair tie that he didn't know whose it was.

My phone vibrated for the third time.

Zhao Yanxi grew impatient with the noise and mumbled a complaint.

"Brother Ding Heng...the phone..."

"I heard you."

Ding Heng barely opened his eyes, followed the sound, and lightly kicked Lin Man.

"Lin Man, my phone."

Lin Man didn't react, so Ding Heng kicked her again.

The fox spirit groggily raised her head, her alluring eyes half-open and half-closed.

"Boss...you want more?"

"The phone! It's on your end."

"Oh."

Lin Man slowly turned over, reached out and grabbed the constantly vibrating phone, then casually tossed it onto the bed.

Ding Heng opened the caller ID and saw that it was from Longhe.

Since the dinner involving unspoken rules ended badly, the two haven't been in much contact.

Ding Heng pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"Hey?"

"Ding Heng, what do you mean?!"

Longhe questioned loudly.

Ding Heng was not fully awake and looked bewildered.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you playing dumb with me?"

Long He was both angry and aggrieved.

"I don't care that you grounded my private jet! But today you suddenly told me I have to audit the accounts, re-check all project expenditures, and even said that you'll have to suspend some employee salaries until the audit is over! What exactly are you trying to do?"

"When did I stop paying your salaries?"

Ding Heng finally regained some of his senses.

Long He was furious: "Sister Zeng just told me. The finance department even specifically asked her if there were any irregular reimbursements or extra expenses in the past six months! We're brothers, for goodness' sake, do you have to do this?"

I admit, I was a bit harsh last time. But the rest of the team didn't offend you! Why take your anger out on me instead of the rest of them?

Ding Heng suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Lin Man at the foot of the bed.

The silly fox had woken up, lying on her side with one hand supporting her head, her long, messy hair scattered, her foxy eyes curving into crescents, her smile exceptionally alluring and charming.

The moment their eyes met, she even winked playfully.

Ding Heng laughed silently.

Long He on the other end of the phone became even angrier.

"You're still laughing!?"

"No, I was laughing at something else."

"What's so funny?"

"Brother, I assure you, I really didn't arrange this."

Do you think I believe that?

Long He sneered: "Besides you, who in the entire company has the right to stop my private jet or audit my accounts at will?"

"It really wasn't me."
