The next day, the landline at Yujingwan was bombarded with calls.

They all came from the same number—the office of the vice president of LS Group.

The long and curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then slowly opened.

The morning light filtered through the white gauze curtains.

I was too tired yesterday, and with Ling Che by my side, I slept very soundly.

Through the bright floor-to-ceiling window, Qiao Ruyi saw a figure on the balcony. His left hand was casually inserted into the pocket of his home pants, and his right hand was holding a mobile phone and making a call.

He had long legs and a broad, straight back. Just by seeing his back, Qiao Ruyi felt safe.

"Are you just so naive to destroy Xu Heng?"

It was Song Yanzhi's voice on the other end of the phone.

"What else?" Ling Shao said lightly, "Do I need to inform his father?"

"This kid is so audacious that he actually did this to Sister Yi! He doesn't even consider the weight of his family background." Song Yanzhi thought for a moment and said, "The Xu family is really at the end of its rope."

Ling Che warned, "Keep a close eye on it, and don't tell anyone about what happened yesterday."

He was afraid of causing trouble to Qiao Ruyi.

He turned sideways to look inside the house and happened to meet Qiao Ruyi's inquiring gaze.

She sat up in bed, her eyes half sleepy, her long hair draped behind her.

Ling Che curled his lips and nodded slightly, indicating that he was on the phone.

Qiao Ruyi understood and got up to wash up.

"I know." Song Yanzhi asked again, "By the way, what has your uncle been up to lately? He has made appointments with my dad several times."

"What did you say?"

Ling Che's gaze followed Qiao Ruyi's figure until he saw her leave the bedroom.

"Nothing was said, just a casual chat over a cup of tea." Song Yanzhi said, "But he has been buying up scattered shares recently."

Ling Che chuckled, "He already owns 7% of Ling's shares. Isn't he satisfied?"

"Ling Che, do you think your uncle has any evil intentions towards your company?"

Ling Che curled the corners of his lips, his eyes dark.

"Bye."

"Are you accompanying Sister Yi?" Song Yanzhi joked.

"You know, but you still ask."

After saying these four words, Ling Che hung up the phone.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Ling Che stood at the door and saw Qiao Ruyi leaning over the sink brushing her teeth.

Ling Che placed the slippers in his hand next to her bare feet and said, "Put your shoes on."

Qiao Ruyi turned around, her mouth full of toothpaste foam. She put on her shoes and asked vaguely, "Are you done?"

"Yes, it's Song Yanzhi's call."

Her hair was tied up, just revealing her fair forehead.

The swollen part is still obvious, a large blue area.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing that she had finished washing up, Ling Che handed her a clean towel.

Qiao Ruyi wiped the water droplets off her face and looked at Ling Che with a smile, "When did you become so considerate?"

"Wasn't it thoughtful last night?"

Ling Che's narrow eyes curved, and they were full of smiles. "Last night, I followed your pace."

He keeps saying these dirty words every other sentence.

Qiao Ruyi felt a rush of heat in her ears, and she was about to leave. "I'm going downstairs to have breakfast."

Ling Che stopped her, then picked her up and pushed her against the wall.

Qiao Ruyi was held by him, and when she lowered her eyes, she could see his beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

His hair was unkempt and very soft and fluffy. The hair on his forehead hung down just enough to cover his eyes. The color of his hair was the same as his pupils, giving him the illusion of being affectionate.

Since yesterday, Ling Che seemed to have become gentler.

Ling Che's gaze moved from her cheek to her rosy lips. She had bitten them hard yesterday, and they were still a little red and swollen today.

"Open your mouth and check if the wound on your lip has healed."

Qiao Ruyi's face flushed again and the tips of her ears turned red.

Who checks their lips like this?

Ling Che didn't seem to intend to let her go. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Hmm?"

Qiao Ruyi couldn't resist him and cooperated by slightly opening her lips.

Ling Che seemed to take a serious look at it. The bitten area was dark red and indeed a little swollen.

Qiao Ruyi was about to speak when Ling Che raised his head and blocked her lips.

His movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

Just a very gentle kiss.

Then he pressed his nose against hers, his breath hot, "And your tongue? Check that too."

Qiao Ruyi found it funny and pressed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

This wasn't an inspection at all; he was clearly taking the opportunity to kiss her, and he was talking so hypocritically.

Seeing her smile, Ling Che also curled up the corners of his mouth in a gentle smile.

"Hurry up," he urged.

I really can’t take back the shame I’ve accumulated over the past twenty-five years!

Qiao Ruyi closed her eyes cruelly and showed him the tip of her tongue.

Sure enough, the man with the foxy mind came over.

He held the tip of her small tongue and plundered it in her mouth.

Another round of whispering.

Between the lips and teeth, there is a faint scent of toothpaste.

......

Breakfast is ready in the restaurant.

When Ling Che took Qiao Ruyi downstairs, Aunt Zhang was setting the table.

As he walked through the living room, Ling Che caught a glimpse of two figures sitting on the sofa from a distance, and he let go of Qiao Ruyi's hand.

"uncle?"

Zhuang Ce also saw him. He was wearing casual home clothes and looked like he had just gotten up.

"get up?"

Then, his eyes seemed to fall on Qiao Ruyi again.

Shu Hui, who was standing beside him, quickly stood up and said politely, "Boss Ling, Young Madam."

Ling Che walked over to the sofa and sat down, leaning back lazily. "When did my uncle come over? Why didn't Aunt Zhang notify me?"

Aunt Zhang was about to explain when Zhuang Ce said, "I didn't let her disturb you."

He looked at Qiao Ruyi and said with concern, "I heard about what happened yesterday. Ruyi must have been quite frightened, right?"

Seeing the bruise on Qiao Ruyi's forehead, he frowned and asked, "How did you get this on your forehead?"

As he said this, he was about to stand up and check Qiao Ruyi's injuries.

"Uncle." Ling Che stood up, a carefree look on his face. "How about we talk in the study?"

After that, he turned to Qiao Ruyi and said, "Go have breakfast first. I have something to talk to my uncle."

The three of them went upstairs. Qiao Ruyi sat at the dining table and listened to Aunt Zhang say, "Young Madam, Mr. Zhuang is very concerned about you. He called several times early in the morning to ask about your situation. In the end, he was worried and came here in person. He also told me not to disturb you and the young master and let you get a good night's sleep."

Qiao Ruyi didn't say anything, but cut the bacon in his hand, looking thoughtful.

......

In the study, Ling Che sat on the large sofa, lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled a few circles of smoke.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Zhuang Ce said, "The Xu family called my office several times last night, asking me why I canceled the cooperation."

"I'm still confused. We just started cooperating with the Xu family this year, and the car manufacturer in Shenzhen and Guangzhou recently ordered 300 million worth of parts from their factory. Our new batch of cars has already started production, and you just canceled it like that? The suspension of production will cause tens of billions of losses to the factory in Shenzhen and Guangzhou!"

"So what?" Ling Che asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you think what I did was wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't smile, Zhuang Ceyu said seriously, "I think you're a little too impulsive. This concerns the interests of the group. You should discuss this decision with the board of directors first, right?"

Ling Che, cigarette between his fingers, said nonchalantly, "Uncle, Ling's group has over 300 companies under its umbrella, and I'm the largest shareholder. Do I need to report any decisions I make to those old guys?"

Zhuang Ce was so angry that his face turned blue and he was too choked to refute.

He took a deep breath and gave in. "It's fine if you canceled the cooperation, but you even injured someone's son because of this? If this gets out, Ling's will be on the headlines today!"

"Just? Because of this?" Ling Che stretched out his tone and smiled frivolously, "Isn't this a big enough matter? If this gets out, will I, Ling Che, still be able to live as a human being? I didn't kill him, so he's lucky!"

"Are you worried about your face?" Zhuang Ce asked.

"What else?" Ling Che asked, "Is my face worthless?"

"Do you have to force someone to death just to save face?"

Zhuang Ce angrily rebuked him, "When your father was alive, harmony and benevolence were the most important values ​​in the business world. He never did anything that hurt others."

Ling Che put out the cigarette in his hand and smiled slowly, his voice neither light nor heavy.

“That’s why my dad died early.”
