Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

Liang Chaoxu's kiss on Wen Li's neck was a little cool, which made her tremble involuntarily.

"Legs weak? Or just sensitive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Chaoxu pulled Wen Li into his body.

Wen Li was enveloped by his burning body temperature, and his deliberately teasing breath made her ears burn and her spine go weak, almost causing her to lose her balance.

"……no."

Liang Chaoxu chuckled softly, raised his hand to grasp Wen Li's chin, forcing her to turn her head, and leaned down to kiss her, his voice low and seductive.

Floor-to-ceiling windows…

"sofa…"

"bathroom…"

"bed…"

Wen Li, breathless from Liang Chaoxu's kisses, leaned weakly into his arms, her cheeks burning, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "I choose..."

"This is in order, not randomly."

After Liang Chaoxu finished speaking, he took a step forward with Wen Li, and with a little force, turned her around to face him.

"We agreed beforehand that it would only happen once."

Wen Li clutched the front of his shirt, her eyes glistening with tears, like a startled fawn.

"Okay, just once."

Liang Chaoxu spread his large hands and placed them behind Wen Li, separating her from the cold glass, then gently loosened his clothes and pulled her into his arms.

"One time, one night."

Wen Li was furious: "Liang Chaoxu, you broke your promise."

"Save your energy, you'll need it later." Liang Chaoxu smiled and kissed him again.

His kisses were as heavy as raindrops, and Wen Li had nowhere to hide.

Noticing Wen Li sliding down, Liang Chaoxu paused, smoothly turned around, pressed her into the sofa, and his long, bony fingers kept igniting fire everywhere.

"Then let's put the floor-to-ceiling windows last."

The sofa was soft, and Wen Li sank into it, her eyes red and swollen: "Liang Chaoxu, you bastard."

Liang Chaoxu lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth shoulder: "You scolded her too soon."

One night is one night, not a minute less.

After that night, Wen Li felt that all her blind spots in matters of the heart had disappeared.

Red wine, ice cubes...

Liang Chaoxu kept his word and the final performance truly took place in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

As dawn broke, the thin mist dissipated, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds.

There's an indescribable, hazy, romantic quality to it.

After cleaning up, Liang Chaoxu carried the drowsy Wen Li from the bathroom to the bed.

While she was still somewhat conscious, he gently held her chin, his voice hoarse.

"This time, our separation is just a matter of settling accounts, not a complete breakup."

"Did you hear that?"

Unfortunately, Wen Li was so exhausted that he had already fallen asleep while he was speaking and did not respond at all.

Liang Chaoxu propped his head up and looked at her for a long time. Just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone on the bedside table vibrated.

He took it from the back of his hand, and his brows furrowed as he looked at it.

[He Yanxi: I didn't succeed last time, you have to help me again.]

Liang Chaoxu sighed softly, tapping his finger: "Haven't you heard the saying?"

[He Yanxi: What?]

[Liang Chao's preface: Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. You might as well just find an opportunity to talk to Grandma He and clear things up.]

[He Yanxi: No way! My family is going through a lot of trouble right now. If I dare to tell the truth, my parents will skin me alive.]

At this moment, Wen Li turned over and unconsciously put her arm around Liang Chaoxu's waist.

Liang Chaoxu shifted his gaze from his phone to her sleeping face, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After a long pause, he replied to He Yanxi: "This is the last time. Don't contact me again."

Around 11 a.m., Wen Li suddenly woke up.

She had an appointment with her lawyer last night to sign the power of attorney at 10:30 this morning. Surprisingly, the alarm she set didn't go off.

As she regained consciousness, she abruptly threw off the covers, sat up, and the aches and pains all over her body forced her to slowly wash up and change her clothes.

Upon opening the door, Liang Chaoxu, dressed in a suit and tie, was sitting on the sofa in the outer room, earnestly conducting an online meeting.

Wen Li looked at him, her mind filled with his passionate and unrestrained words from last night.

"What's wrong?" Liang Chaoxu looked up at her, his smile gentle.

A scoundrel.

For some reason, this word inexplicably popped into Wen Li's mind and wouldn't go away.

"I'm going to see a lawyer. We'll meet at the airport in a bit," Wen Li said, and started to walk out of the room.

Liang Chaoxu took off his headphones, stood up, walked over and pulled her aside: "No rush, I've already notified the lawyer, we'll sign the power of attorney this afternoon."

Wen Li: "Did you turn off my alarm?"

Liang Chaoxu nodded: "Yes, you were tired last night, so I let you get some more sleep."

"you……"

"Sit down and have some breakfast first. I'll go eat with you after my meeting." With that, Liang Chaoxu pulled Wen Li to sit on the sofa.

Wen Li glanced at his computer screen unintentionally, and was struck dumb, frozen in place.

He spoke to her without turning off his microphone, so she heard everything...

Liang Chaoxu sat down, unplugged his headphones, and said in a deep voice to the people on the computer screen, "The meeting continues."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Li clearly heard the sound of those people clearing their throats tactically.

Wen Li slowly closed her eyes, feeling utterly hopeless.

Liang Chaoxu glanced at her, and the corners of his lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

At 2 PM, the two of them set off for the airport together.

Wen Li was severely sleep-deprived and fell asleep as soon as she boarded the plane, only to be woken up by the flight attendant after the plane landed in Jingzhou.

As Yan Jin walked out of the terminal, he was about to put her suitcase in the trunk when she raised her hand and refused.

"No need to trouble yourself, I've taken a taxi, I'll be there in a bit."

Yan Jin was stunned and turned to look at Liang Chaoxu.

Liang Chaoxu raised his hand, signaling Yan Jin to get in the car first.

Then he walked towards her: "You really do keep your word, you said we'd settle things even?"

Wen Li nodded solemnly: "From now on, I will regularly pay back a sum of money to your bank card until the debt I owe you is paid off."

As she spoke, she looked up at him and said, "Apart from that, there is nothing else between us."

Liang Chaoxu narrowed his eyes, lowered his gaze to meet hers, his eyes filled with inscrutable emotions.

"you……"

"Wen Li".

Jiang You got out of the car behind and walked towards the two of them, interrupting Liang Chaoxu as he spoke.

He walked over to Wen Li and reached out to hold the handle of her suitcase: "It's freezing cold, hurry up and get in the car."

Wen Li lowered her eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards Jiang You's car.

Jiang You curled his lips and smiled at Liang Chaoxu, saying, "Brother Chaoxu, as Wen Li's ex-fiancé's uncle, and also Yanxi's marriage partner..."

"Please recognize your place and stop bothering Wen Li. Otherwise, you'll only hurt her."

Liang Chaoxu said coldly, "Before you say these things to me, please recognize your own situation."

"As far as I know, Madam Jiang should have chosen a marriage partner for you a long time ago."

"You're making it sound so eloquent now, but I wonder if you'll have the ability to stand up to your family and protect your love in the future?"

Jiang You's expression changed instantly.
