Her long eyelashes swept across Ling Han's back, and the light, feather-like sensation on his skin made him feel a slight numbness. A thrill rose from his lower abdomen, and he felt an urge to turn around, but he remained still, quietly waiting for her next words.

  For a long time, she leaned on his back. Just when Ling Han thought she might have fallen asleep, her soft voice and gentle breath caressed his back: "Be nicer to me from now on, okay? Why get angry and tell me off, I can explain..."

  "Good..." The tense heart relaxed, and Ling Han quickly gave an answer, the corner of his lips faintly hooked up. Although it was very shallow, he indeed smiled.

  "Will you stop bullying me from now on?" Leng Xi leaned against his neck, her soft and sweet voice filled with a hint of sweetness.

  "No... " was the thoughtless reply, and Leng Xi suddenly startled, lifted his head, moved in front of him, looked at him with blinking eyes, puzzled, and asked: "Why?"

  "You're my woman, and only I can bully you. If I don't bully you, how can I be a man?" He said with raised eyebrows and a mischievous tone.

  He's thinking about that again, Leng Xi immediately lowered his head in shame, his face covered with a layer of blush.

  "Ah!" She suddenly exclaimed, her body was unexpectedly wrapped in his arms, grasping her eyes and said: "I want it..." His voice was a little hoarse, with a thin layer of mist covering the dark eyes.

  "No...no way..." Leng Xi's face turned white, and she immediately hugged her chest, trying to escape him, but was pressed down onto the bed. He covered her head with his own and fiercely kissed her lips: "No way? It has to be!" As they gasped for breath in disarray, Ling Han yanked off the towel wrapped around his waist, and his hard, scorching body immediately pressed against her waist.

  He wanted to retrieve the tension of being on tenterhooks while waiting for her response just now.

  She must compensate him for his mental loss.

  Leng Xi hugged him, holding his hands that were unbuttoning her pajamas, not letting him continue. She blinked her bright eyes and pitifully said: "It's almost dawn, let's sleep! Don't do it anymore..." I really admire his energy! He's still not tired now.

  "Did I say I'm going to sleep? How can we sleep without taking off our clothes, we should be fair to each other, if I take everything off, you should too, this is what mutual respect means!" Ling Han's voice was hoarse as he added his hand on top of hers, rubbing her waist a few times with scorching heat. Leng Xi immediately let out a ticklish laugh and used her hands to block him.

  As soon as he let go, he gave her the opportunity, and his clothes were stripped off mercilessly. His scorching hot lips kissed her soft little bun, and the tip of his tongue slid across her cherry-like mouth.

  "Hmm..." The sound sent Leng Xi's whole body trembling, and a faint whimper involuntarily escaped her lips.

  His kiss was much gentler, unlike the previous fierce and passionate one. Every place he wandered had a provocative meaning, his soft and warm kiss was like planting honey on her body, sweet to Leng Xi's heart.

  Even the entry was extremely gentle, and the waves were as warm and soft as slapping on the sandy beach under the sunlight, bringing her unprecedented joy and intoxication.

  The creek's eyes overflowed with water light, embracing the neck of Ling Han, feeling the warmth on his body, enjoying every caress, rhythm.

  Soft and warm skin tightly attached, her tender touch like tofu, warm and soft as the temperature of a hot spring, tight and sweetly wrapped, all on Ling Han's body evoking the most frantic longing, bringing an unfulfilled nostalgia.

  I'd really like to just keep doing this forever, drowning in her... Yeah, unless he dies, he'll absolutely never want to let her go. Maybe hatred isn't that important; as long as she's loyal to him, maybe he should treat her a bit better.

  ……

  It's actually not that unreasonable for Ling Han to be cold. Once you get used to it, it's still pretty good. These days, Leng Xi has been immersed in his own little happiness.

  Ling Han and Tong Shi discussed cooperation, and Lingyun Group, which has always focused on real estate, also expanded into the sale of safety suits. This is multi-field development! Although Leng Xi didn't fully understand, he understood some of it.

  In the previous shooting ambush case at the Japanese restaurant, Leng Qing didn't want to mention that Bai Yicheng was involved. She didn't want the relationship between Leng Han and Bai Yicheng to become more awkward, so she intentionally avoided this topic. Leng Han seemed very generous, completely forgetting about it as if nothing had happened, never mentioning it again.

  Leng Xi let out a sigh and considered the matter closed.

  Ling Han was very busy with work, and Leng Xi also devoted himself to his own work. With so many rooms in the skyscraper that needed to be designed, she worked hard drawing blueprints every day, but her mood was exceptionally good.

  Being able to live with someone who loves oneself every day, a simple life, each doing their own thing is truly a happy thing.

  Happy days are always fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. The scorching summer sun ushers in the autumn breeze, along with the fluttering yellow leaves scattered across the sky.

  Sometimes people get tired of the quiet, always wanting to live a more exciting life, but Leng Xi knows that a peaceful life is the best belonging, the most valuable comfort, happiness is always in the quiet stability, blooming in the quiet.

  But life is like a road, it can't always be smooth, there will always be ups and downs, and maybe one careless step will trip you up.

  "Knock knock." The office door was knocked, Leng Xi was concentrating on drawing, suddenly interrupted, she was a bit annoyed and scratched her own hair: "Come in!"

  The door was pushed open, and what responded first wasn't the sound of footsteps, but the creaking sound of the door slowly opening. For a while, no one made a sound.

  Leng Xi raised her head curiously, and a voice sounded at the moment she lifted her head: "Xi'er, I...I am your sister..."

  Lenny was dressed plainly, with her head half lowered, standing at the door, her voice slightly small, as if she didn't dare to enter, somewhat timid.

  It's sister, seeing Leng Ni's body that has become much thinner and slightly darker, no longer having the noble and proud temperament of a princess. Leng Xi's eyes suddenly became sour, quickly welcoming her: "Sister, come in quickly!" She helped Leng Ni sit down on the sofa, looking her up and down, she was wearing simple and somewhat old t-shirt, faded jeans, and canvas shoes, like a village girl who just entered the city, pale and thin, with some yellowish complexion.

  "Xin Mo, go and pour two cups of tea!" Leng Xi said to Ji Xin Mo who was busy on the side, Ji Xin Mo responded and went out.

  "Sister, what's going on? Why are you wearing my old clothes? I saw you last week and you were fine. Now..." Cold Creek's voice choked off as she looked at Cold Ni's state, her heart aching with pity. After all, they were family, and seeing a loved one suffer always made her feel unwell.

  Lenny hung her head and held back tears in her eyes: "Do you know that something happened to Brother in prison?"

  "What?" Ling Xi exclaimed in surprise.

  "He hurt someone and now they want him to pay a lot of money, or else he'll get a longer sentence. I...I sold all my family's belongings to pay off his debt. Now...now I've even lost my job, I really have nowhere to go..." Connie grasped Cold Creek's hand, no longer able to hide the turmoil and sorrow in her heart, tears falling like pearls, her slender shoulders shaking with sobs.

  Now, who would have thought that this helpless Connie was once a domineering and arrogant princess? It can only be said that reality has filtered out vanity and dreams, leaving behind a tough heart that will never be washed clean by the years.

  Leng Xi seemed to see his past self in Leng Ni, wasn't she also so lonely and helpless back then? Living alone for over a decade, fortunately, she was a resilient sunflower that always faced the sunlight, no matter how many rainy days tried to stop her from doing so.

  "Don't worry, sister, I'll help you, I'll think of a way..." Leng Xi hugged Leng Ni's trembling body as she cried, comforting her. She deeply understood this feeling of helplessness, and how much one yearned for someone to help, how much one yearned for warmth, at times like these.

  "You... how can you help me!" Leng Ni lifted her tear-stained face, looking at Leng Xi with a mixture of hope and worry.

  Leng Xi furrowed her brow and thought for a moment, Ah! How could she help?

  Give money to Leng Ni, but she has only worked for two months, and her salary is not enough! What can she do to help her sister?

  "You, can you ask Ling Han in the Lingyun Group to arrange a job for me?" Leng Ni swallowed hard, her face still bearing tears, looking at Leng Xi with utmost hope.

  Qiu Ling Han.

  Leng Xi's heart was filled with a thread of sadness, actually she didn't want to be tied up with Ling Han in terms of interests, she just wanted their relationship to be very simple.

  "Sorry, I'm troubling you, I think I'll just leave!" Seeing her not responding for a while, Leng Ni suddenly pushed away Leng Xi's arm, somewhat awkwardly wanting to leave, looking very flustered and alone.

  "Ah, sister, I'll help you, I'll do my best...". Leng Xi grasped Leng Ni's hand, her eyes gleaming with a hint of tears as she looked at Leng Ni seriously.

  No matter what, Leng Ni is her sister, she can't just watch her become despondent and wander the streets.

  "Thanks then..." A hint of excited relief appeared on Ronnie's face as she wiped away the tears from her eyes.

  The two sisters exchanged a warm and comforting smile.

  With his own salary, Leng Xi first found a cheaper hotel for Leng Ni and settled her in to stay.

  How can I bring this up with Ling Han? This is truly a question that tests one's character.

  Sitting on the bus going back, Leng Xi looked out of the window, tilted his head and thought, but still couldn't think of a result. He sighed, took out his phone and called Du Shaoxi, asking him first if there were any vacant positions in the company.

  "What's wrong? My little creek baby, don't you understand how to cherish me? You've finally discovered my goodness and changed your mind, wanting to throw yourself into the arms of my country, Du Shaohui?" On the other end of the phone, Du Shaohui still had a flirtatious tone, with a hint of breathlessness, as if he was exercising, and there were faint slapping sounds coming through.

  "Darling, who is it! Ah, hurry up..." The woman's sultry breathing voice came from the other end of the phone, unreservedly and seductively.

  My goodness, Du Shaohui is in that place...

  Leng Xi's face suddenly turned hot, and he quickly hung up the phone. My god! How scary! It wasn't even dark yet, but Du Shaoxi had already started, what a terrible person.

  Wait, isn't Du Shaohui with Ling Han? He's now playing around with women, what about Ling Han?

  Thinking of this, Leng Xi pouted his mouth. He wouldn't be playing with women too, would he? Never mind, first make a phone call to him. Even if he is playing with women, he must be disturbed and interrupt his good deeds.

  After several rings, the phone finally connected, and a slightly displeased voice came through: "What is it!"

  Leng Xi's eyes widened as she listened quietly for a while, and from the other side came the humming noise of machinery. She blinked her eyes and said: "I... I'm looking for Du Shaoxi..."
