"You want to be engaged to Jiang Xun?" Ling Kong Leng asked instead.

"En."

Ling Chen was just about to say that he was determined and planned on proposing to Jiang to prove his sincerity. Who knew Ling Kong Leng would sneer as his voice suddenly became cold, "Not possible."

"What?" Ling Chen thought it might take a bit more to get Ling Kong Leng to agree, but he didn't expect he would reject this directly.

"You can't be with her, break up." Ling Kong Leng's voice didn't contain any emotions, nor any more room for discussion.

Ling Chen was unable to accept it, "But why?"

"No reason." Initially, Ling Kong Leng wanted to say that Jiang Xun had done it with him and therefore was his woman. However after thinking about it, he decided not to. After all, he agreed to not tell Ling Chen. If Jiang Xun knew about it, she might resign in a fit of anger.

"I won't break up, I want to be with her." Today Ling Chen had already been hit hard. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that it was traumatic. His best friend fell in love with his girlfriend. His girlfriend wanted to break up with him and was ignoring him, while his girlfriend's younger sister kept pestering him. Such complicated and chaotic relationships made him distraught with anxiety. His original plan was to get Ling Kong Leng's approval to propose marriage and beg Jiang Xun for forgiveness, but once again he was deflated again by Leng Kong Leng.

His patience reached the limit and he finally exploded. As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to be reprimanded by Ling Kong Leng.

Who knows, instead of getting Ling Kong Leng's scolding, he was responded by the call ending.

Disappointment, pain, and depression surrounded him, causing an extremely dejected mood to envelop him.

Ling Chen called Jiang Xun's name over and over in his heart. He really, really missed her.

Jiang Xun received the system prompt almost at the same time, [Congratulations, Ling Chen's affection level has risen to 85.]

Currently, Jiang Xun was playing on her phone in the dormitory. Hearing the sound, she arched her eyebrows slightly as a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, though she didn't appear too happy.

"Hey, Ling Kong Leng's affection level has also risen. It's now around seventy." The system said again.

Only then did Jiang Xun react. She sat up abruptly from the bed, feeling the familiar aura pouring into her body.

Ever since having tasted the high quality luck aura, now ordinary luck can't satisfy her anymore.

Given that the affection of the two increased at the same time, something must have happened, but Jiang Xun was too lazy to think about it. In any case, she'll just counter their moves as they come. These men were all servants under her skirt. They won't be able to escape her palms no matter what.

Because she was in such a good mood, she decided to chat with Duan Qing Chu for a while, and then head to bed after raising his affection. However, the phone then suddenly rang.

It was a call from Ling Kong Leng.

Yesterday she already had saved his phone number and set the name as [President Ling].

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Jiang Xun smiled bewitchingly. As soon as his affection increased, he just couldn't wait to call her.

It seems matured men also have their moments of impatientness.

She cleared her throat and quickly entered her acting mode.

"President Ling?" She deliberately lowered her voice and whispered.

"En."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xun was a little distant as if she didn't seem to want to receive his call.

For a few seconds, Ling Kong Leng was silent. The air was about to be frozen into frost by him, "Were you asleep?"

Jiang Xun replied, "I was about to sleep."

"Regarding last night..."

Jiang Xun interrupted him, "I have already forgotten it."

"Really? I still remember you pestering me last night, asking me to kiss you, and saying that I made you very comfortable..."

Ling Kong Leng spoke these crude things in a crisp voice. His flirting skills could be rated as perfect.

Jiang Xun rolled her eyes. Nonsense, of course she didn't. Although that little person in her heart thought so, she didn't show it at all. Ling Kong Leng thought she was drunk and couldn't remember anything, so he just made up things to say to make her embarrassed.

But to be honest, listening to him say those things, she was a little tempted.

"Impossible, I didn't..." Jiang Xun retorted both angrily and shyly, "You're talking nonsense!"

Ling Kong Leng gave a chuckle. His laughter was lazy and sexy, somewhat frivolous, making people want to indulge in it, "You did."

Jiang Xun appeared about to cry, "You! You took advantage of me!"

Ling Kong Leng responded indifferently, "But you obviously enjoy it. Good girl, don't deny it, your body was much more honest than your mouth."

"You're shameless..." Jiang Xun was unable to argue otherwise. Her voice was ashamed with a hint of anger.

Ling Kong Leng could almost imagine her blushing face, biting her lip and looking aggrieved.

"Ling Chen told me today that he wants to be engaged to you." Ling Kong Leng unexpectedly changed the subject.

Jiang Xun was stunned. Her breathing became stagnant, and she spoke sorrowfully after a pause, "What did you say to him?"

"What do you think?"

"You didn't tell him about us, did you?" Jiang Xun asked nervously.

"No, but you'd better break up with him soon. I don't want my woman to be my daughter-in-law." There was a threatening tone in Ling Kong Leng's words.

Jiang Xun took a deep breath and uttered, "I understand."

"It's good that you understand. Remember to arrive at work on time tomorrow." Ling Kong Leng's attitude changed in a split of a second. Sometimes it was suddenly warm, sometimes it was cold, making people unable to predict it.

"Ok."

After getting Jiang Xun's reply, Ling Kong Leng hung up.

Once the phone call ended, Jiang Xun couldn't help but giggle. This old man appeared like an iceberg and would keep away from women, but in fact not only was his mouth full of obscenities, he was also rather possessive. Just now, he seemed to have eaten his son's vinegar, how amusing.

I don't know what Ling Chen's expression will be when he realizes that she slept with his dad, eh... Jiang Xun tried to picture it, but she couldn't imagine how it'll be. It was hard to fathom this feeling.

...

A few days later, Jiang Xun and Ling Kong Leng boarded the plane to France.

The two checked in at a hotel in Paris. Ling Kong Leng opened two suites, one for each of them.

Ling Kong came here for a French company to talk to their president about some collaboration in China, so an accompanying interpreter was needed. However, the meeting time with the president of the company was the morning after tomorrow, so they still have two days to prepare.

On the first day, they experienced jet lag, so Jiang Xun and Ling Kong Leng did nothing but eat their meals. The next day, Ling Kong Leng threw a heap of information to Jiang Xun for her to read and memorize, all of which was in French.

She went through it for an entire day before reaching Ling Kong Leng's requirement. It would be extremely difficult for her to do it if she didn't have an eidetic memory and was highly proficient in French.

Originally there weren't any issues. Yet right before they left for the meeting, Jiang Xun suddenly fell ill.

At this time, she couldn't choose to quit. Let's temporarily not mention if they could even find a suitable translator. Even if they could find one, the newly-found translator wouldn't be able to memorize the information in such a short amount of time.

Jiang Xun was actually fine, but her appearance gave people a feeling of a fragileness that she would collapse with a single gust of wind.

Ling Kong Leng asked her, "Can you still hold on? Do you want to have someone to replace you?"

Jiang Xun let out a weak "en", but firmly stated, "I can hang on, no need to change."

Seeing her like this, Ling Kong Leng hesitated, but there really was no better choice now.

"Let me do it, I can hold on. I'll make sure to go to the hospital later tonight." Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with a resilient light.

Ling Kong Leng felt that Jiang Xun was currently glowing all over. Even if she was sick and her face was pale, she was still beautiful. Moreover, it was undeniable that her determined appearance made her attract his attention even more.

How many surprises does this girl have to give him?

In the end, Ling Kong Leng decided to let her work sick. As long as the contract was signed, her task would be completed.

When he arrived at the other party's company, Jiang Xun looked normal in front of everyone and did her job exceptionally well. However, she would occasionally show an uncomfortable expression when Ling Kong Leng was paying attention to her. Although the time was short, it was still seen many times by him.

Her current appearance really made people feel distressed for her, even Ling Kong Leng who has always been indifferent during work, couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, the final cooperation was successfully reached. After signing the contract, as soon as they exited the office, Ling Kong Leng directly princess-carried Jiang Xun in front of everyone, and took her to the hospital under everyone's gaze.

Jiang Xun buried her head on his chest. No one saw the sly smile on her face.

Just now, Ling Kong Leng's affection for her has risen again. Sure enough, she was indeed a genius.

Jiang Xun fell asleep in Ling Kong Leng's arms in satisfaction. In fact, she was actually quite tired and uncomfortable, but it wasn't as serious as Ling Kong Leng imagined. She was forcing herself to hang on before, so now she was sleepy as she relaxed her nerves.

When she woke up, she was already lying in the hotel room. However it wasn't hers, but Ling Kong Leng's.

Jiang Xun opened her mouth and her throat felt extremely dry and thirsty. Who knows how many hours she slept?

As soon as she was about to sit up, she heard Ling Kong Leng command loudly, "Lie down and don't move."

She followed the sound. Ling Kong Leng was standing by the doorway and furrowing his brows at her while his expression was grave.

"What happened?" Jiang Xun's voice was hoarse. Mainly because of thirst, but when Ling Kong Leng heard it, he thought she was still very weak and uncomfortable.

"The doctor said to let you rest more, so don't get up." Ling Kong Leng's face sank.

"But I want to drink water." Jiang Xun appeared weak and aggrieved.

Ling Kong Leng stared deeply at her, "You lie down, I'll go pour you water."

Jiang Xun was stunned. She bit her lower lip, and whispered, "Thank you."

After Ling Kong turned around coldly and went out, Jiang Xun couldn't resist but grinning mischievously. This mature man seemed to be starting to treasure her. Everyone said that matured men know how to pamper people, but how would such a cold and domineering mature man pamper someone?

She was kind of looking forward to it.

Jiang Xun blinked and changed her sleeping position. She was already much better, but in order to let Ling Kong Leng attend to her for a while longer, she decided to pretend to be sick one more day.

It was only a fever, yet his favorability rose by five points. Jiang Xun secretly chuckled. It seemed that she would soon be able to make Ling Kong Leng actually fall in love with her.

Ling Kong Leng came in with a glass of water and helped her drink it. Seeing her take an anxious gulp and coughed, he couldn't help but say, "Slow down."

Jiang Xun coughed until tears came out. She raised her eyes to look at him, as her eyes reddened, "I'm very thirsty."

Ling Kong Leng felt helpless. He paused, and stretched out his hand to pat her back.

"Do you still want to drink?"

Jiang Xun shook her head, "No more."

"Eh." Ling Kong Leng put down the water glass.

"I'm hungry." Jiang Xun pursed her mouth and mumbled quietly.

Ling Kong Leng stared at her eyes. He couldn't help but lean over to nibble her lips and said uncontrollably, "I'm hungry too."

Ling Kong Leng: I am hungry too, I only want to eat you

Jiang Xun: What should I do if I am hungry?
