At the very last moment, Jiang Jingxing stopped.

After finishing, he held Su Yan and lay down on the bed to rest.

Su Yan lay in his arms, feeling her fingers were terribly sore and weak.

After a moment, she angrily broke free from the man's embrace, glaring at him and saying, "What do you mean? Stop right now, or I'll look so unattractive!"

Her clothes were disheveled, revealing a large expanse of her chest, and her skin shone brightly under the lights, almost blindingly white.

Jiang Jingxing's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his deep voice was filled with lingering desire, "You're still too young. I've heard that doing that kind of thing too early is bad for a girl's health. Wait until you're older, or until after we get married."

After saying that, he affectionately stroked her hair.

Su Yan was surprised by his thoughts and felt a surge of joy.

He was able to stop in such an impulsive state because he didn't want to hurt her.

Su Yan had mixed feelings, and puffed out her cheeks as she said, "Then why did you say you wanted me?"

"Of course I want you, can't you feel it? Hmm?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Su Yan felt something hard pressing against her buttocks.

Her face flushed crimson instantly. She clenched her fist and punched him in the chest, exclaiming in shame and anger, "You scoundrel!"

Jiang Jingxing let out a low laugh, took her hand and kissed it, "I'm a rogue."

With that, he rolled over and pinned the girl beneath him, his breathing growing heavier, his deep eyes filled with lust. "Let's do it again."

Su Yan's alarm bells went off instantly, and she tried to stop them, saying, "Wait, it's getting late, you don't need to go back tonight..."

The words she was about to say were swallowed by the man.

...

It's 11:30 p.m.

When Su Yan came out of the shower, Jiang Jingxing was already dressed.

Before she could speak, he said, "I have to be back before midnight. I'll take you to the military region tomorrow."

Su Yan was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Are you going to take me to see my older brother?"

Hearing this, Jiang Jingxing looked at her in surprise. "How did you know? Your brother's matter has been resolved, but he was poisoned and is still running a fever. I was planning to tell you when I arrived tomorrow, but I was worried it would affect your mood and make you restless tonight."

Seeing her slightly pale face, he frowned. "Ayan, do you know something?"

"No." Su Yan came back to her senses and said, "I had a dream before I came to Beijing, and I didn't expect the dream to be real."

She looked up at her little face, worriedly asking, "Can I really go see my older brother? Is he no longer locked up?"

Su Yu genuinely loved the original owner of this body.

So when she heard news of him, she couldn't help but feel both excited and sad.

"The suspicion against Su Yu has been cleared, so you can rest assured." Jiang Jingxing said with concern, "Don't worry too much, I'll come pick you up after the meeting tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Su Yan collected her thoughts, smiled, and stuffed the things she bought that afternoon into his hands. "Take the scarf and down jacket back with you, and wear them next time you see me."

Jiang Jingxing took it and went out.

Before leaving, he gave her a reluctant kiss on the lips, saying, "Wait for me, my sweetheart."

Su Yan watched him leave, then immediately opened her suitcase upon returning to her room to prepare the medicinal herbs she would need for tomorrow.

We didn't finish cleaning until after midnight.

She put on her coat, went downstairs, and made a phone call to Tao Jin's office.

The call connected quickly. "Who is this?"

Su Yan asked in surprise, "Brother Tao, you're still at the company so late?"

"Su Yan?" Tao Jin paused, then continued, "I've been a bit busy lately, needing to work overtime. I sent my driver to pick you up from the station today, but he couldn't find you. Did your boyfriend go to pick you up instead?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Tao, I should have called you as soon as I got off the bus."

"It's okay, as long as you get there."

Su Yan isn't a child, and with her intelligence, there's even less chance she'd get lost.

Tao Jin has nothing to worry about.

If it were Tao Yue, he would probably have to worry about it.

"When are you planning to come? I'll send a driver to pick you up," he asked.

Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow, I'm going to the military region to see my older brother tomorrow, he's sick."

"Big brother? You have an older brother? Is he your biological brother?"

"He's my older brother."

She briefly explained Su Yu's situation.

Upon hearing this, Tao Jin immediately said, "Should I call the doctor to come and take a look?"

Su Yan replied, "No need, there are doctors in the military region. Thank you, Brother Tao."

"Why are you being so polite? I'm your brother now, and your family is my family too. You can contact me anytime if you need anything. By the way, could you call Tao Yue back? She's been calling me all day asking about you," Tao Jin said, sounding annoyed.

I don't know what kind of poison Su Yan has given Tao Yue, but she keeps mentioning Su Yan's name all the time.

Su Yan sensed the helplessness in Tao Jin's tone and said with a wry smile, "Okay, I'll call right now."

After hanging up the phone, she dialed the Tao family's number.

Before she could react, Tao Yue's expectant voice came through, "Hello? Is this Su Yan?"

"It's me. My brother said you bothered him all day and he complained to me," Su Yan teased.

Tao Yue complained, "Who told you not to call me when you got to Beijing? Besides my older brother, I don't know who else to contact! My older brother said you arrived this morning, why didn't you go straight home? Where did you go? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Tao Yue immediately launched into a barrage of questions, making it seem as if a wife was catching her husband cheating.

Su Yan said helplessly, "I have things to do today and tomorrow, so I'll come to see you tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow morning."

"No, I have to pick you up. Remember to call me in advance, or I'll really get angry."

Just as Su Yan was about to agree, she heard her say, "How about I come to see you tomorrow afternoon? You go ahead with your work, I'll wait for you at the hotel!"

Su Yan: "..."

Her lips twitched, and she said, "Come pick me up the day after tomorrow morning."

"All right."

Tao Yue was very disappointed.

However, she was already very happy that Su Yan could come to Beijing.

“My parents came all the way from abroad to see you, their goddaughter. They won’t arrive until noon the day after tomorrow.”

Su Yan's eyes widened. "Didn't Grandma Tao recognize me as her goddaughter? Why are your parents back too?"

Tao Yue said matter-of-factly, "You are my grandmother's goddaughter, and nominally my parents' goddaughter too! Of course they have to come back, and they'll even prepare a gift for you."

"Isn't it a bit unnecessary to make such a big deal out of it? It's just a meal together..."

"Yes, I will!" Tao Yue interrupted her domineeringly. "You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to show up! Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. Grandma is calling me to go to bed. Call her again tomorrow when you have some free time to talk to her. I'm hanging up now."

"Beep beep beep—!"

The phone went dead, and Su Yan shook her head with a smile.

He then called home and Feng Caixia to let them know he was safe.

After she finished the call, a phone bill was slapped in front of her. The receptionist said, "The total bill is five yuan and sixty-three cents!"

Su Yan: "..."
