Ji Han struggled internally for a long time. He desperately wanted her, but she was his...

Looking at the woman who kept teasing him, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Anyway, she'd been with so many men, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. She quickly unbuckled her belt and began to release her pent-up emotions.

The unprecedented thrill almost overwhelmed them, leaving them both deeply immersed in extreme pleasure.

Ji Han looked at that delicate, pretty face and asked, "What if I don't like anyone else in the future?"

Ji Yingying chuckled softly, her eyes misty, and said, "I'm always ready to oblige, no matter what you want."

From this day forward, she will only care about herself. As for Ji Han, he will still have some value to her. With this physical entanglement, he will never be able to get rid of her.

Ji Fuying took Xu Nuo and the other two back. Since the incident, Li Xiaole had moved in with Li Muning, which made Ji Fuying feel much more at ease.

In the car, she operated the steering wheel with one hand and picked up her ringing cell phone with the other.

The man's voice was deep and gentle, "Where are you?"

"On your way home, what about you?"

"Same here, wait for me at your doorstep, I'll take you somewhere."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Fuying stepped on the gas and arrived at the villa ten minutes ahead of schedule, sitting on the steps at the entrance.

With his hands resting on his lap and his chin propped up, he waited listlessly for the car to return.

A car roared to life, and a few seconds later, a black Maybach came to a stop in front of her.

Ji Yan stepped out of the car, squatted down in front of Ji Fuying, and patted her head. "Are you sleepy?"

The man's voice was captivating, and his mature and steady masculine charm left Ji Fuying completely mesmerized.

He scooped up the dazed woman in his arms, placed her in the passenger seat, got in the car himself, and started the engine—all in one smooth motion.

The black car drove through the darkness, with only occasional streetlights shining into the interior.

"Where are you taking me?" Ji Fuying rubbed her hands nervously, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Even though she and Ji Yan were officially together, she still felt like something was missing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ji Yan held her hand, knowing where her unease came from.

He will clear away any obstacles in the road ahead; all she needs to do is be his little bride and be responsible for his happiness.

Half an hour later, at the beach.

The salty smell reached Ji Fuying's nose, followed by the sound of waves crashing on the beach.

An incredibly luxurious cruise ship was docked at the shore, and Ji Yan led her by the hand as they slowly walked aboard.

Ji Fuying looked up and saw the 'Starship'.

She had heard that the cruise ship was built by a devoted man at great expense for his lover.

I hadn't paid attention to it before.

So, what about now?

The person in Kyoto with such ability is undoubtedly Ji Yan. Thinking of this, his face turned pale instantly. Could it be him?

If it is him, then who is the woman he loves so deeply? Is it Song Yuxi or someone else?

He was abroad for three years, during which time she knew nothing about him. Her pace gradually slowed down, and she was unwilling to take another step forward.

If he really is the owner of the cruise ship, what face or right does she have to go up there?

"Yingying?" Ji Yan stopped, turned around and saw her bloodless face. "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Ji Fuying raised her head blankly, her fear growing stronger. She didn't even dare to ask who the owner of the cruise ship was.

"I don't really want to go up. How about we go home?"

She was afraid that if she went up there and discovered something she shouldn't have, the hard-won relationship between them would completely dissipate.

Ji Yan narrowed his eyes in confusion, but still complied with her wishes, taking her hand and walking back to the Maybach.

At the same time, a sense of annoyance swept over him. Was Yingying afraid of water? He hadn't even known that.

Villa No. 18.

Ji Fuying picked up her pajamas and went into the bathroom. Soon after, the sound of running water came from inside.

Ji Yan lit a cigarette and stood dejectedly on the balcony. Her phone screen was still lit, displaying a recent message: 'She's not afraid of water.'

Why was that? He clearly saw fear in her eyes. What was she afraid of?

She has many secrets that she never asks about, but she really won't tell him unless he asks. There is almost no trust between them.

Yingying, what am I going to do with you?

Ji Fuying came out wrapped in a bathrobe and walked towards the balcony. The cigarette butts scattered on the ground made her emotions change slightly. Was he sad?

Is it because you just went on a cruise that you feel sad?

She needed to find out who the owner of that cruise ship was; if it wasn't Ji Yan, the misunderstanding would become much bigger.

She wrapped her arms around his strong waist from behind, pressed her face against his back, and coughed a few times from the strong smell of tobacco.

Ji Yan stubbed out his cigarette, took off his coat and threw it aside, then turned around and hugged Ji Fuying back, "Did you choke? Let me pat you."

The man's magnetic voice captivated her, and she gently nuzzled against his chest. "I'm fine. Are you feeling down?"

If you're going to tell me directly, please be upfront. I don't like feeling kept in the dark.

He said, "I'm not in a bad mood, Yingying. Everyone has their own privacy, and it's normal not to want others to know. But I will wait until the day you are willing to talk."

Ji Fuying stiffened, and her eyes reddened. He still didn't want to say what secret he needed to keep from her like this.

That night, the two embraced each other, unable to sleep. They barely spoke a few words on their way to work. Han Xiao, who was in the driver's seat, shrugged. Why was it so cold even without the air conditioning on?

Especially after Ji Fuying got out of the car, the temperature inside the car dropped several degrees instantly. He saw her icy face through the rearview mirror and decided to just drive carefully.

A cold question came from behind him, "Han Xiao, if your partner has a secret they won't tell you, what do you think would be the reason?"

A partner? He's a single dog, what partner could he possibly have? But, "maybe it's because he doesn't trust the other person enough?"

Ji Yan forced a bitter smile. Twenty years of companionship and the support of family ties, and he still couldn't gain her trust. He really couldn't think of any other way.

Ji Fuying walked into the office absentmindedly, and the three of them immediately surrounded her, chattering about what had happened that day.

Li Xiaole's excitement was written all over her face. "Yingying, that black chicken has been fired. We've finally waited for this day."

Li Muning didn't speak, but the smile on her face showed her good mood; she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Only Xu Nuo noticed that Ji Fuying's expression was a little strange. "Fuying, what's wrong? You look so pale?"
