“Mr. Ling, I’ve been looking into it these few days.” Lian Sihan stood respectfully beside him. “Ji Liunian lives in a one-bedroom suite at No. 9, Peace Lane. Her apartment is Unit 6 of Building 2. She moved there three months ago. She lives alone and doesn’t have any intimate male companions. Her neighbors say that she keeps to herself and has always been alone. She works nine to five and has a very routine life. She only goes out on weekends at most and dresses in a low-key manner. The friend she often interacts with is also her colleague, an employee of Xinghua Corporation called Liu Menghan. The investigation at Xinghua Corporation also shows that she doesn’t have any intimate contact with any men.”

Ling Yichuan kept his head lowered, casually twirling the pinky ring on his finger. He snorted softly and curled the corners of his lips. “In other words, her saying that she’s already engaged is a lie?”

Before Lian Sihan could answer, he nodded lightly, and a trace of smugness flashed in his angelic eyes. “Makes sense. If she’s really engaged… How is that possible? That night, she was still…”

He would not forget it. The freshness, tightness, and sweetness that drove all men crazy. The animalistic and exhilarating urge to break through the barrier for the first time.

Judging from her attire and her meager salary, she did not look like the rich daughter of a wealthy family. That meant the requirement of a political marriage did not exist for her.

Since it was not a political marriage, if she was really engaged or had a boyfriend—why was she not seen behaving intimately with other men at all? In this day and age, the archaic custom of meeting for the first time on the night of one’s wedding was long abolished.

In that case, the only possibility was that—in order to get rid of him, she had deliberately lied to him that she was engaged to get rid of him!

This was the first time in his life that he had been disdained by a woman! He would not forget what she had said before. The first time they met, she said that she did not want to see him again. Later on, she called him a two-timing playboy. Then, she said he was a philandering and shallow man that she would not want even if he offered himself to her… Once or twice, he could take it that she was playing hard to get. But, she had said it too many times. As it is, he had to admit that she really did not want to have anything to do with him. She was even willing to lie and say that she was already engaged!

What a pity.

Ling Yichuan leaned back slightly and crossed his long legs comfortably. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there were too many emotions surging in them. It was like the last calm before a cheetah hunts!

“Mr. Ling, should I take the initiative to contact Miss Ji?”

Ling Yichuan curled his lips and raised his head slightly. He twirled his pinky ring gently. “Women are like cats. It’s no fun to box them in.”

Lian Sihan raised his head and looked at him.

The Lian family had been by the Ling family’s side since the very beginning. He had grown up with Ling Yichuan. Although he had been by his side for so many years, he had never seen Ling Yichuan so enthralled and concerned about a woman!
