Chapter 43

Ye Qiu's breathing suddenly became rapid. He was still a pure and innocent young man, and he had never experienced such temptation.

Especially for a boy his age, a mature woman was as alluring as poison, let alone someone as enchanting as Lin Jingzhi.

In an instant, Ye Qiu felt his body losing control, and he stammered, "Sis Lin, don't... don't do this..."

"What do you want me to do then?"

"Just don't do this."

"Are you saying it's inconvenient for you to wear clothes?" Lin Jingzhi extended her finger and gently touched Ye Qiu's forehead, pouting, "You're so naughty, but I like it."

With that, Lin Jingzhi prepared to take off her clothes.

Ye Qiu was terrified and quickly held her hand, saying, "Sis Lin, please, don't do this, okay?"

"What, you don't want to see?"

Want!

Really want!

Ye Qiu felt that any normal man would want to. After all, a woman like Lin Jingzhi was hard to come by.

However, as a doctor, he had to adhere to professional ethics and not engage in excessive intimacy with patients. Moreover, this was in a hospital room, and if someone saw them, it would be very inappropriate.

"Sis Lin, let me change your bandages?" Ye Qiu tried to change the subject.

"The nurse already changed them for me, no need to do it again," Lin Jingzhi said.

"Then, shall I get you a glass of water?"

"I'm not thirsty."

"Are you hungry? I can go to the cafeteria and get you some crystal buns?"

"I'm not hungry either."

"Then, how about..."

"Enough, don't change the subject. I'm asking you, do you want to see?" Lin Jingzhi smiled and stared at Ye Qiu, pouting, "Be honest, no lying."

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly take your hand off, I'll show you." Lin Jingzhi smiled, "Others want to see, but I don't show them."

"Sis Lin, don't do this..."

"Quickly take your hand off."

"Sis Lin..."

"Be a good boy and listen."

"Enough!" Ye Qiu suddenly shouted.

Lin Jingzhi was taken aback, not expecting Ye Qiu to yell at her. She was stunned for three seconds, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ye Qiu was also forced into a corner, not knowing what to do. In a moment of panic, he yelled at Lin Jingzhi, but immediately regretted it.

Sis Lin was just joking with him, why did he take it so seriously?

If Sis Lin really got angry, he would be in trouble.

Ye Qiu hurriedly explained, "Sis Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"You did mean to. You yelled at me, you just yelled at me."

"I really didn't..."

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you. You actually yelled at me, I feel so wronged, wuwu..."

Seeing Lin Jingzhi wiping her tears, Ye Qiu panicked and, in a moment of impulse, suddenly hugged her tightly.

Instantly, Lin Jingzhi's body stiffened, and her eyes turned cold.

At that moment, Ye Qiu's voice sounded in her ear, "I'm sorry, Sis Lin, I really didn't mean to. Please don't cry, okay? I promise I'll never yell at you again, I'll definitely keep my word."

Ye Qiu's voice was panicked and fearful, like a child who had done something wrong, at a loss.

Lin Jingzhi felt a soft spot in her heart being touched. After a moment, the coldness in her eyes turned to tenderness, and her stiff body relaxed. She gently wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck and said, "I want you to promise, never to bully me again."

"I promise, I'll never bully you again."

"I also want you to promise, never to leave me for the rest of your life."

Ye Qiu was stunned. What did Sis Lin mean?

To never leave her for the rest of his life? Could it be that she wanted to be with him?

"Bang!"

At that moment, Lin Jingzhi reached out and tapped Ye Qiu's forehead hard, pouting, "Do you think I want to be your girlfriend? Dream on."

Uh—

"Even if I wanted to be your girlfriend, would you dare?" Lin Jingzhi stared directly into Ye Qiu's eyes, with a hint of challenge.

Ye Qiu wanted to say, "If you dare, I dare," but the words died in his throat.

The gap between them was too great.

He was just an ordinary doctor, with no status or background. He couldn't even keep a woman like Zhang Lili, let alone be with Lin Jingzhi.

Sigh!

Ye Qiu sighed and avoided Lin Jingzhi's gaze.

"Sis Lin, you rest first, I'll go back to the department to work." Ye Qiu said, turning to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of the VIP ward, Lin Jingzhi's voice came from behind, "Ye Qiu, as a man, sometimes you should be a bit braver."

Ye Qiu naturally understood the deeper meaning in Lin Jingzhi's words. He paused, turned around, and looked at her seriously, "Sis Lin, if one day I have the strength to protect you from the wind and rain, I think I will have the courage to pursue you."

With that, he quickly left.

On the bed, Lin Jingzhi was stunned for a moment, then her beautiful face broke into a radiant smile.

Ten minutes after Ye Qiu left, a tall woman walked into Lin Jingzhi's VIP ward.

The woman was very beautiful. She was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, around 1.7 meters tall, with short, wine-red hair. She wore a black leather jacket that showed off her slender waist, and tight jeans that made her legs look strong and long.

She wore Martin boots, exuding a cool and chic aura.

"President Lin!" The woman called out respectfully as she approached Lin Jingzhi.

Lin Jingzhi looked up at the woman and smiled, "Xiao Jie, why are you here?"

This woman was her personal assistant, Sun Mengjie!

"Sis Lin, there are a few things I need to report to you," Sun Mengjie said.

"Why do you have to come in person? Didn't I tell you to just call me if there's anything?"

"President Lin, there are two important things, I think it's better to report them in person."

"Then go ahead!"

Sun Mengjie reported, "The first thing is about the land in the eastern part of the city. The Qian family is interested, and Qian Yanru came to Jiangzhou to participate in the bidding on behalf of the Qian family."

Lin Jingzhi said, "That land isn't very profitable. If the Qian family wants it, we can give it to them. But we shouldn't make it easy for them, you understand what I mean, right?"

"Understood."

"What's the second thing?" Lin Jingzhi asked.

Sun Mengjie replied, "Xiao Qingdi has come to Jiangzhou."

"What for?" Lin Jingzhi's expression changed slightly, then she seemed to remember something and asked, "Could it be for Bai Bing?"

"I think so. Today, he even sent flowers to Bai Bing through his butler," Sun Mengjie said.

Lin Jingzhi's expression turned serious, "If Xiao Qingdi is here for Bai Bing, then Ye Qiu might be in trouble!"
