lding.Jiang Mingzhu went to open the car door, but found that it was still locked. She instinctively looked back at Zhou Li, meeting his deep eyes.In the darkness, his eyes held an undeniable desire,...Ginger Mingzhu reacted quickly, burrowing into his arms: "The kind of liking that wants my brother to be my husband."

In response, Zhou Li let out a cold snort. However, Jiang Mingzhu wasn't surprised; she had thick skin and could still smile happily even after being ridiculed.

"Just this"

Ginger Mingzhu: "If my brother doesn't want to marry me, I don't mind being in a secret relationship with him."

Zhou Li narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her, as if tasting the truth in her words.

He wasn't the type to flaunt himself, but the desire in his eyes betrayed him.

Ginger Mingzhu knew, he was moved.

Even though Zhou Li, a man who appeared aloof and ascetic to others, was fundamentally driven by his desires, Jiang Mingzhu knew she would eventually succeed the moment he began to care about the men around her.

He didn't speak, so Jiang Mingzhu seized the opportunity and said, "Don't worry about taking responsibility."

Zhou Li stared at her, "Changed tactics"

He wouldn't believe this woman would be so obedient and not hold him responsible.

Jiang Mingzhu bit her lower lip, looking aggrieved. "I just want to stay by your side," she said softly. "I don't even need a title."

"Well, well, are you sure you won't deliberately expose yourself in front of my fiancée and use it to climb the social ladder"

You nasty piece of work, full of bad intentions, you've thought it all through.

He asked that on purpose, wanting her to promise with her own mouth that she wouldn't provoke Zhan Yu Bai. That way, he could rest assured knowing the red flag at home wouldn't fall and there would be colorful flags fluttering outside.

Jiang Mingzhu greeted her grandfather in her heart, but her expression was exceptionally devout. "I don't know how, as long as you are willing to let me stay by your side, I will be obedient."

Zhou Li: "I'm not interested in sleeping with other people."

Jiang Mingzhu: "I have never been with Zhan Yanqing."

"Where is everyone else"

It was only then that Jiang Mingzhu realized he was talking about Zheng Linxu.

Zhou Li's dislike for Zheng Linxu seems to have surpassed that of Zhan Yanqing.

Ginger Mingzhu pursed her lips, wronged. "Didn't you feel it the first time I was with you"

He's been with Zhan Yubai for so many years, it's impossible that they haven't slept together once, right Before Zhan Yubai, he definitely had other women.

Having slept with so many people, he couldn't possibly be confused. He was deliberately humiliating her before.

But Zhou Li merely sneered, "Hmph."

—

The morning's negotiations ultimately ended without any results. Ginger Mingzhu later returned to her room, took a shower, and changed her clothes.

With nothing scheduled for the day, she ordered takeout and cuddled up in her room, video chatting with SanSan.

Sān Sān saw Jiāng Míng Zhū eat fried chicken, saliva almost drooled out. "I really want to eat it too."

Ginger Mingzhu: "I'll take you to eat when I get back."

Sān Sān: "Will you and my dad come back together"

Ginger Mingzhu hesitated a little under Sansan's eager gaze, "I might have to wait a while."

Sansan put on a pitiful expression and acted cute to Jiang Mingzhu, when they were video chatting, Sansan received a call from Zheng Linshu on her side.

As soon as his mouth opened, San San accidentally blurted out that Ginger Mingzhu had eaten fried chicken.

Shortly after the video ended, Zheng Linshu called Jiang Mingzhu to "say hello," making Jiang Mingzhu have to coax him for a long time.

Zheng Linxu said: “Be careful with your own body, do you still want to suffer”

Jiang Mingzhu: “Okay, okay, I promise, I’ll eat less from now on.”

Cheng Linxu said, “You better be.”

Ginger Mingzhu: "Definitely, definitely."

Zheng Linxu said: "I am now skeptical of your commitment. When you return from your business trip, I will arrange for a nutritionist to prepare your three meals a day and then report back to me."

Jiang Mingzhu:：“……”Help!

Zheng Rinxi seemed to have guessed she would refuse, "If you don't listen, come back to New York with me."

Ginger Mingzhu meekly conceded: "Boss Zheng, don't get angry. I'll do as you say."

After much coaxing, Zheng Linshu finally wasn't angry anymore.

A few minutes after the phone call ended, Zheng Linxu sent Jiang Mingzhu a WeChat message.

Don't blame me for caring too much. Your body can't take it. I was just too anxious and my attitude was bad earlier. I apologize to you.

Jiang Mingzhu: [Forgives you.]

Actually, she knew very well that Zheng Linshu's "meddling" was all for her health.

Only Zheng Linyu knew how difficult it was for her body to recover to this extent.

Finally, there was some fried chicken left. Ginger Mingzhu didn't eat it anymore. She held the trash and went to throw it away, but as soon as she opened the door, she ran into Zhou Li.

If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Li is standing at the door of her room.

Jiang Mingzhu raised an eyebrow. "Brother, are you looking for me"

Zhou Li glanced at the trash bag in her hand, "Where are you going"

Ginger Mingzhu: "If my brother looks for me, I won't go anywhere."

Zhouli: "After you throw the trash, come find me in the basement."

He maintained his usual cool demeanor, issuing the command and then leaving.

Jiang Mingzhu snorted softly and muttered, "Show-off," looking like he was asking her out on a date and acting all high and mighty.

Too lazy to argue with him, Jiang Mingzhu went back to change her shoes, picked up her bag, and walked towards the elevator.

Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Jiang Mingzhu spotted a Land Rover nearby, its hazard lights flashing.

She was wondering if this was Zhou Li's time, but the dog had already rolled down the window and said, "Get in the car."

Jiang Mingzhu broke into a smile, excitedly running towards them like a child.

She got into the car, fastened her own seat belt, put her bag aside, and blinked at him with big eyes, "Where are you taking me, brother"

Those beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation, with a touch more childlike innocence than usual. It didn't seem like an act.

Zhou Li retracted his gaze, didn't answer her, and started the car by himself.

Jiang Mingzhu wouldn't give up, "Where are you going"

"Scared"

Ginger Mingzhu: "I wouldn't, brother. If my brother takes me to hell, I will go too."

Zhou Li let out a disdainful sneer, and began to spout flowery rhetoric and nonsensical gibberish again.

The car drove further and further off course, eventually reaching the suburban highway. Jiang Mingzhu glanced at the man driving with an emotionless expression on his face, her heart skipped a beat.

Is this thing going to take her to a deserted place and beat her up

However, the things she was worried about never happened.

Seeing the sign for the hot spring hotel, Jiang Mingzhu understood what was going on.

She burst into a wide smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners. She was really on a date with him!

Zhou Li still ignored him, but Jiang Mingzhu smiled even happier.

Upon arrival, staff members greeted them. Seeing the other party take luggage out of the car, Jiang Mingzhu only then realized that the dog had made preparations.

With suitcases… she's going to stay here overnight.

The staff were very friendly and took us to a private suite, giving us a detailed introduction to the exhibits.

When the other party said this was a "couple's hot spring," Jiang Mingzhu looked at Zhou Li meaningfully.

"If you need anything, please feel free to call our service hotline. Have a pleasant stay."

Zhou Li nodded politely, while Jiang Mingzhu enthusiastically said, "Thank you, sister! Bye-bye~"

After the staff left, Jiang Mingzhu went up and hugged Zhou Li, "If I'm not wrong, brother brought me here to have an affair with me, right"wronged!I thought Zhou Li would just offer some symbolic words of comfort, but I didn't expect this dog to be so lustful and wouldn't even go through the motions.Ginger Mingzhu wrapped her arms around...
