Chapter 120: Thank You for Your Hard Work, Darling
The one who lost his rationality was him, but she was sober. She couldn’t let him act recklessly, doing such things at someone’s doorstep would ruin his reputation.
The Shao Family was so bad, she also wanted to prove to them that Lili belonged to him, but not in this way.
The banyan tree deep in the alley blocked the moonlight, plunging the entire car into pitch-black darkness, the shaking car body disturbing the surrounding tranquility.
Su Lingzhi weakly clung to him, enduring her breathing fluctuations, and asked him, "Feeling better now?"
Fu Yinli tightened his arms continuously, wishing to embed her into his bones, yet reluctant to hurt her, tenderly kissing the side of her neck, extending the lingering moments from before.
No matter when, she always had a captivating allure.
He liked holding her, liked her warmth, her scent, and even more liked hearing the restrained sound she made when moved, making him addictively lose himself.
"Thank you for your hard work, darling."
The word "darling" was called out in such a sultry voice that Su Lingzhi’s whole body tingled.
Sometimes she really didn’t know how to speak to him; absurd words shouldn’t be associated with him, but tonight she saw him in a slightly different light.
She shifted her body, wanting to get off him.
Fu Yinli didn’t let her, "Hold on a bit longer."
"You’re all wet, it’s uncomfortable."
"..." At times like this, she wasn’t in the least bit whimsical, too clear-headed.
After burning for so long, breaking out in a sweat all over, not a single dry spot on her body, the smell lingering in the car was so thick it was suffocating.
Su Lingzhi returned to the driver’s seat, tidied up with tissues, her expression suddenly turning somewhat stern.
"Zhizhi, open the window a bit."
Afraid he might catch cold, Su Lingzhi only opened it a little.
Fu Yinli raised his hand to turn on the light, looking at the person beside him who was pretending to be calm, "What’s wrong?"
Su Lingzhi came to her senses, shook her head and said, "Nothing."
How could it be nothing when her man almost ended up in someone else’s bed.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Lili, can you stay away from the Shao Family in the future?"
"Are you angry?"
"They’re simply too much. Can’t have it, so they drugged you. Who knows what worse things they might do next time."
"In the face of interests, the Shao Family knows their limits and behaves appropriately; it’s just that some people overestimate themselves. Don’t worry, this drug won’t be endured for nothing."
Su Lingzhi felt helpless. She simply wanted to be well with Lili, but some people were unwilling to give up, wanting to wedge themselves between them, like flies, impossible to chase away.
"Let me take you to the hospital first, I’m worried the drug might have side effects."
"No need, just go home directly."
...
The next day, Fu Yinli "granted" her not to exercise anymore, but she didn’t listen to him and honestly followed the coach for arm strength training.
The young girl lay on the mat in her sportswear, densely covered with light gray marks across large areas of skin, soaked in sweat.
Jin Ya unknowingly got lost in her thoughts.
It was evident, Mr. Fu cherished her dearly, was he making her exercise because he was dissatisfied with her performance?
"Coach Jin, it’s enough."
Jin Ya quickly snapped back, saying to her, "Rest for two minutes first."
Su Lingzhi sat up cross-legged, took the towel and wiped the sweat from her neck.
After a week of exercise, she gradually adapted to the exercise volume, now she didn’t even pant much.
Jin Ya smiled and said, "Next week we can start increasing the exercise volume."
"Okay."
Visibly, the young girl was not as resistant to exercise, even her gazes had become more determined.
"Miss seems different today than usual, were you provoked?"
"Someone covets my man, if she dares to set her sights on him next time, I’ll slap her awake."
Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Jin Ya’s expression carried a hint of panic, her gaze shifting away from her, casually saying, "Mr. Fu is such an extraordinary man, every woman would want to stick to him."
"Though that might be true, knowing he has someone yet still coming onto him, that’s just a shameless third party trying to invade someone else’s relationship."
Jin Ya chuckled indifferently, "What man in high society is disciplined, sticking to only one woman? And what woman pursuing wealth and status would care about her reputation?"
Hearing this, Su Lingzhi’s expression instantly darkened, she silently looked at her.
"You should be around eighteen, right?"
Su Lingzhi calmly replied, "I’m twenty-two."
Jin Ya froze for a moment, then composed herself, "Judging by your skin and bone structure, still looks like underage."
"Twenty-two, just graduated?"
Su Lingzhi nodded.
"No wonder your thoughts are still so pure, haven’t faced the depths of society, once exposed more, you’ll have a deeper understanding."
Her words had a particularly profound tone.
Su Lingzhi had also heard many people say men are unreliable, don’t easily trust a man’s loyalty and such.
Perhaps there were many distasteful things in high society, but she still trusted Lili, having gone through so much together, she wouldn’t be easily swayed by someone else’s words.
"If your man is coveted by someone else, entangled with an ex, what would you do?" Su Lingzhi asked her.
"I would do nothing."
"You didn’t even think about it."
Jin Ya laughed, "I’ve been your age too, if this man truly loves you sincerely, you wouldn’t need to worry about anything, if not, there’s even less to do, just leave him."
Su Lingzhi thought about what she said, "Seems to make some sense."
Although that Miss Shao is an ex and very pretty, and so what, Lili’s body and mind belong to her, no one can take them away, why should she waste her energy getting angry over someone so shameless.
What she should do now, is trust Lili.
Su Lingzhi sighed with relief, "Coach Jin, thank you, talking with you has seemed to broaden my mindset a bit."
Jin Ya did not expect her words to have such an effect. She changed the topic, "Okay, let’s continue the exercise."
Lying down, the soreness in her arms made her quickly back down, "Coach Jin, I think this exercise volume suits me well, no need to increase."
Jin Ya hesitated for a while, "I’ll check with Mr. Fu after we finish then?"
"Okay."
Ten minutes later.
When changing in front of others, Jin Ya didn’t even change her clothes and went downstairs alone, stopping at the study room to knock on the door.
Hearing a voice from inside, only then did she enter.
At this moment, he was focused on reading documents at the desk, the bookshelves behind were filled with books, adding some scholarly aroma and profound texture to his being.
Such an exceptional man like him, indeed can easily stir a young girl’s heart.
But she was no longer a young girl.
