"Nan Gong Yehen, I want to beat you to death!"
This kind of kiss only brought her pain and frustration.
But Nan Gong Yehen looked as if he had just feasted, actually smiling at her with amusement.
If he had used a bit more force, her tender lips would have been bitten and broken.
Seeing the imprint of his teeth on her lips made him exceptionally pleased.
"Are you sick?" Chu Lingzhi glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
"From now on, you're not allowed to leave me!" The man lifted his chin, looking down at her from above.
The noble aura radiating from him made her feel like he was the king ruling the world, capable of dominating everything.
At least her life was temporarily under his control.
Chu Lingzhi suddenly smiled sweetly, "Is Young Master Nan Gong confessing to me?"
"You can think of it that way."
Chu Lingzhi was slightly taken aback. Could he actually have fallen for her?
Impossible!
This guy definitely didn't want her to think he was just putting on a show for Ouyang Ruobing earlier.
So he deliberately led her to misunderstand that they were in a relationship.
Chu Lingzhi sneered inwardly. City King, do you take me for a fool?
Well, she'd play the fool then. With a sweet smile tinged with charm, she said, "Alright, staying by Young Master Nan Gong's side is my honor. I won't leave you."
Leaving him meant leaving Nan Gong Yichen, and she wasn't that stupid.
"I'm going upstairs to change clothes. I have to go to the company today."
"Not allowed!" His cold tone carried a command.
"Why not allowed?" Going to the company meant seeing patients.
"From now on, you must rest during your period!" With that, Nan Gong Yehen left the dining room before her, probably not wanting her to see his slightly reddened ears.
Chu Lingzhi stared blankly at his straight, tall back. Did she hear that right?
Rest when her period comes?
Was he actually concerned about her?
Nan Gong Yehen, can't you keep your thoughts less complicated?
Actually, there weren't many appointments today. The patients coming for acupuncture could be handled by the staff and Liu Dongli.
Since Nan Gong Yehen ordered her to rest, she would rest.
After breakfast, she took a stroll around the estate.
The estate was enormous, taking over half an hour to walk through.
Just as she was about to head to the shooting range for some target practice, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number. She thought it was a patient, but it turned out to be Ouyang Ruobing.
Listening to the voice on the phone felt like hearing a melancholic song.
Ouyang Ruobing's voice was too beautiful, too gentle.
Soft and light, like a gentle breeze brushing past.
Chu Lingzhi didn't expect Ouyang Ruobing to call her voluntarily, let alone invite her to lunch.
At noon, she arrived on time at the restaurant Ouyang Ruobing had specified.
It was a restaurant with elegant but not extravagant decor.
By the window, they sat facing each other.
Chu Lingzhi smiled at Ouyang Ruobing. She was very beautiful, with an extraordinary aura.
Competent yet with a touch of softness, she could be both a strong woman and delicate.
Her features were perfectly proportioned, and her skin was fair and smooth.
A woman this beautiful—it would be normal for Nan Gong Yehen to fall for her.
Chu Lingzhi thought to herself, if she were a man, she would also be drawn to a woman like Ouyang Ruobing.
Ouyang Ruobing absentmindedly ate the foie gras on her plate.
"Miss Ouyang, did you call me out to talk about Young Master Nan Gong?" Chu Lingzhi took a sip of tea.
Ouyang Ruobing looked up and smiled gently, "Nan Gong is very special to you."
The way he looked at her made even her envious.
