The corner of Ling Chen's mouth curled up, as if he was laughing at her shyness or at her wasted effort. Sooner or later, he would still eat her. The difference between her appearance and the first time she seduced him was like heaven and earth.

When Ling Chen finished washing up, Jane Fan was blow-drying her hair. The buffer zone was 90% complete.

He was wrapped in only a towel, revealing his sexy mermaid line. The bandages wrapped around his lower abdomen had long since become wet.

"Your wound is wet." Jane Fan was wearing a cotton, simple, long-sleeved nightgown as she crawled over from the headboard.

Ling Chen's lower abdomen tightened, her long hair was half wet, and her crawling appearance was like a sexy black cat, captivating.

With a wave of his hand, he pulled her into his embrace. "So what if it's wet. It's just a layer of skin. It's not that big of a deal."

Jian Fan stubbornly tore the bandage off. "Look, there are still traces of blood. It will dirty the blanket."

Jane Fan shook off his hand and went downstairs. After a while, he came running up with a medical kit.

He stood on the edge of the bed while she sat on it. She skillfully took out the alcohol to disinfect it, then put on an oversized waterproof OK. Everything was done.

Ling Chen looked at it for a moment and was quite satisfied with it. "It's better than being humble at the time. You can be a professional nurse now."

"Being a nurse requires an injection. Do you want to try it first?" Jian Fan smiled mischievously. Ling Chen's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of horror.

When Jane Fan was packing the medical kit, the movie was buffered. The music started and the movie officially started.

Chen intentionally pulled the curtains shut and turned off the lights. The room was dark except for the faint light on the screen of the movie house.

Ling Chen leaned against the headboard, and Jane Fan leaned against Ling Chen's chest. The heat in the room was on, and the whole room was warm and intoxicating.

Jian Fan looked at it with a serious expression as he burst into laughter from time to time.

Ling Chen caressed her long hair with his big hands, absent-mindedly. If not for being with her, he would never have wasted his time on this.

When Fan Wei cried out the words, "There is a bad person in the crowd!", Jian Fan collapsed into Ling Chen's arms with a smile. As for Ling Chen, he only pursed his lips, appearing as if he didn't care about the world.

"How come I never knew that your laughing point was so low?"

"I had thought that a frivolous person like you would like such an ironic and meaningful year slot." Jane Fan rolled her eyes at him, as if she had a low intelligence level when she laughed.

"Maybe my movie is better than his." Ling Chen was so confident that it was hard for people to understand his smug look.

"That's art. Do you know art? You only know how to fight and kill. " Jian Fan was excited and a hint of disdain appeared on his face.

Ling Chen opened his mouth, but did not continue interacting with him. She didn't understand him, and he didn't blame her, because he never showed his true self to her.

The movie went on, and Jane Van was still laughing happily. At the end of the day, when she thought of the moving music and scenes, Jane Fan felt her throat tighten, but she didn't sob like a sentimental little girl. Ling Chen was silent, and his expression darkened.

Jian Fan raised his eyes and looked at him, suddenly feeling somewhat regretful.

God was fair. He had given her a chuckle, but it was also hard for her to be moved; he had given her a high EQ, and it was this high EQ that made him so easily touched. For his profession, this might not be a good thing.

At the end of the movie, Jane Fan was tucked into the quilt.

"Do you want to watch 'Great Heavenly Palace'?" Ling Chen asked in a soft voice.

Jian Fan shook his head sadly. She was also that hot-blooded wild monkey with an awkward identity. No matter how high his opinion was and how great his heart was, he could never escape the palm of Lord Tathagata. She didn't want to look at it. It was like looking at her own shadow. If she looked at it, she would only find it even more laughable.

The home theater was closed and the room was dark. The two of them closed their eyes in discomfort after falling into darkness.

He was silent for a long time, until he could clearly hear Ling Chen's heartbeat, which was getting more and more jubilant.

His hand began to reach into her clothes restlessly, with a hint of urgency in it.

Jian Fan didn't have any thoughts as he stretched out his hand to press him down. With a pleading tone, he said, "No, you said you would make me do it willingly."

It was this bullshit reason again. He hated himself for saying such idiotic words.

Ling Chen let go of his hand with a frustrated expression. She rejected him, but he could only hug her even tighter to ease the raging fire from the All Knowing Nourishment Soup.

"Darling, tell me, how can you truly and sincerely fall in love with me and willingly become my woman?" He blew all the hot air into her ears with a hint of seduction.

How about it? Jane Fan really had not thought of this problem. She closed her eyes and thought for a long time before she finally found her voice.

"What I want, you cannot give; what I say, you cannot do; what I seek, you despise the most. It seems like we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. It would be difficult for us to get closer to each other, let alone merge together. "

"I want to hear you talk. If you don't talk and I don't do it, how can you easily judge if I can do it or not? And will you gradually change your mind?" His rich voice was full of seriousness.

Jane Fan opened his eyes and looked up at him. After getting used to the darkness, they could vaguely make out each other's expressions.

She took a deep breath, then slowly let it out. "I want freedom. Can you give it to me?"

"As long as you don't leave me, I will absolutely not restrict your personal rights."

"Then, if I say that I hope that you are a good person, will you give up all illegal activities and take the right path to become a good citizen who follows the law for my sake?"

Ling Chen fell silent.

Until he was sure he wouldn't give her the answer she wanted, she finally let out a cold snort. She was not disappointed in him, but rather amused that she had a sliver of hope in him. She should have guessed that this was the result, and she didn't know what she was expecting.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. It's already very late, go to sleep." Jane Fan turned over, her back facing him.

"Jian Fan," he suddenly called out her name in a solemn voice. His voice was extremely heavy, as if he had made a great decision. "Do you think that if I stop doing illegal things and turn into an honest business, you will fall in love with me?"

"What did you say?"

"I said, for you, I can give up everything I have now." He spoke word by word, his pitch-black eyes full of seriousness.

Jian Fan was shocked, his heart was beating fast, "Is what you said true?" She stared at his face, afraid to miss a single expression.

"I swear," Ling Chen raised three of his fingers, "What I said was all true. But you haven't answered my question. "

"About half of our bet is already over. Is the remaining time enough for you to complete all these changes?" Jian Fan had some doubts, but half of him believed them.

"As long as I make this decision, I will make up my mind. Let alone a month, or even a single day, as long as I am willing, I will abandon everything. " The words he said were too loud, even he himself felt somewhat guilty as he panted for breath.

"Alright, as long as you don't do anything illegal and walk down the right path, I will open my heart and try to fall in love with you."

"I like this kind of straightforward you." Ling Chen kissed her on the forehead. His lips were too cold, waking him from his state of mind that was on the verge of being overwhelmed by emotion.

The next day, before Jane Fan could regain her strength, Ling Chen was no longer at home.

"Where's your Young Master?" Jane Fan casually asked as he chewed his breakfast.

"Young Master went to work and said that he will be back very late, so you should eat first." Lian Xi handed over a cup of hot milk.

Jian Fan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you." Remembering that it would be boring to stay at home all day, he suggested, "Xi Er, come with me to get SPA later." Since she was already here, she might as well take things easy. Since it was a rare chance for her to get some free time, she decided to try out the taste of being a noblewoman. She had to put on a good act.

"Well," Lian Xi was somewhat excited. "In the winter, when people's skin is dry from the heating, the SPA can keep their skin soft and tender."

"Xiu-Er really knows a lot." Jane Fan teased her, and Lian Xi's face turned red from her teasing.

"Can we go as well?" Lian Bi still didn't like to talk much, but his gaze towards Jian Fan had softened quite a bit. It was no longer as cold as it was when he first arrived.

"I'm not going, Miss Jane. I'll stay home and cook dinner."

Jian Fan raised his eyebrows. Some people were naturally unsociable and proud of themselves, so they had no choice but to give up. After breakfast, Jane put on her coat and picked up the car keys on the little stand.

"Miss Jane, let's let A-Jin drive us there. The young master said that there has been chaos outside recently and said that there are abnormal killers in the suburbs. " Lian Xi followed behind him with a set of top maintenance items and carefully began to remind him.

Jian Fan understood. He was afraid that Chen Da's subordinates would not give up.

"Fine, let A-Jin drive." Suddenly, Jian Fan felt that something was wrong. "A Jin is even more timid than me. How can he protect us?"

Lian Xi opened his mouth, but did not say anything insightful. In the end, he anxiously added: "He can see that the situation is bad and contact the Young Master and the others to save you at any time."

Jian Fan raised her red lips and lightly tapped her head. "Stupid girl, with such a large supermarket, and so many people, even if you are a bad person, you still wouldn't choose such a place to attack. Moreover, it's daytime."

"Yes, hur hur." Lian Xi rubbed his head and cutely smiled.

Jian Fan was the first to leave the room. When he turned around, his pupils constricted and a layer of coldness appeared in his eyes.

After that, they would have a sumptuous meal, followed by shopping around the shopping mall. They would buy anything at all, and only then would they return home to have dinner when it was dark.

That night, when Jian Fan had gone to sleep, Ling Chen came back with the stars and the moon. He hastily rushed into the blanket and hugged her through the clothes. He did not take the next step, as if he was too tired from the day.

The next morning, they went out again before daybreak. This rhythm continued for a whole week, and the long hours of work made it difficult for Jian Fan to adapt. What did he do to become so serious? Could it be that he was really transforming? His underworld group was determined to not mess around?

Ling Corporation was located in a concealed underground street in the Central District. In the ancient bungalows, models of all kinds of weapons were hung everywhere. This was one of the suites. The four-room courtyard of the suite was responsible for most of the casinos, entertainment clubs, nightclubs, and other red places in the city.

But from now on, the Ling consortium will move into the most luxurious office building in Shallow Water City. The International Business Center had been bought by Ling Chen, and he had given it a fitting name – the Ling Qi Building.

"Boss, everything is ready. The grand opening is set to be held on Christmas Eve one week from now." Marvin lowered his head and reported.

Ling Chen looked at the old house and felt a sense of relief.

Five years ago, he had single-handedly taken down this place. The original owner was not him. After he took down the consortium, he expanded his operation and actively sought for a transformation. It took him five years to finally achieve a transformation from black to white.

He never boasted of being a good man, but he didn't want to live in the dark forever.

"Alright, let's proceed as planned. "How are our brothers reacting?" Ling Chen stroked the ring on his pinky that symbolized power through his leather gloves.

"Naturally, our people are absolutely loyal. It's just that the brothers on the outside are used to showing off and might not be able to do proper business." Marvin reported truthfully.

Ling Chen disdainfully smiled, and had already expected this to happen: "Tell them to stay calm, the reason why they transferred to the commercial real estate is to launder the money, and the underground business will continue as usual. The accounts are going as usual, and I'll drop in to check them out at irregular intervals. This place will be converted into a shallow water history museum, and we will collect some iconic items from the 1950s. It will be opened for free and all traces of the existence of the Ling consortium will be destroyed. "

"Yes, Boss!" Marvin couldn't help but admire Ling Chen's wisdom. The construction of a small private museum was open to the public, serving both as a public service and as a flattery to the government. It also made the destruction and transformation of the place a well-known thing. With this single move, Ling Chen turned from the police officer who was staring at Big Boss Black into the CEO of Ling Qi Group.

Young people like to write and ink, the pursuit of retro, and the media favorite lively and cutting edge topics. As soon as the private museum was completed, the media came to visit one after another, causing the exposure of the new Ling Qi Building to be reduced to less than advertising.

"Boss, what's the name of the museum?" Marvin bowed and asked for his opinion. He was very interested in this project.

Ling Chen thought for a while, then casually said, "In this era."

Ma Wen sighed in agreement.

"How is the Baohui store doing?" Ling Chen pursed his lips in anger, and Marvin immediately took out a cigar and lit it.

"The business was officially opened yesterday. All major brands have been established and the flow of customers is very high. Boss, do you want to go and inspect it? "

Ling Chen blew out a smoke ring. "Let's go."

Baihui Shop is located in the center of the city. It is not the largest, but it includes the world's top luxury brands. It is a rich area in the shopping mall industry.

Dressed in a smoke-colored Armani handmade suit with dazzling black glasses, Ling Chen suddenly became the center of attention as he walked through the shopping mall filled with beautiful scenery.

Ling Chen looked around before disappearing into the elevator and going up to the sixth floor.

"Marvin, are there more women than usual?" Ling Chen stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"From the start of yesterday's opening, most of them are mostly women."

Ling Chen smiled, as if he had a new idea.

The sixth floor was a jewelry counter with fewer guests than the clothing area. The first floor was reserved for the five jewellers, with Cartier in the shape of a crown in the center.

Ling Chen strolled over and caught his attention with a necklace that the counter manager was about to put down.

"What's its name?"

The counter manager quickly withdrew his hand and showed the necklace on the box with a warm smile, "Good eye boss, this is the new diamond necklace that Master Booth had just designed for the store. Its name is' Enjoy Tonight 'and its Chinese name is' Bright Life '. This is the only version. "

"I prefer its English name. Wrap it up for me." Ling Chen's eyes were filled with a hint of interest.

The counter manager was overjoyed. This was not something that normal rich people could handle. "For your wife? Do you want a card? "

"No need." Ling Chen did not hesitate to refuse, then turned to Ma Wen, "Marvin, did you tell Su Rui about the celebration?"

"I haven't received any orders from the Boss, so I haven't said anything yet." Are you going to tell her yourself, or are you going to pass it on to me? "

"Tell me, her public relations plan has already been prepared. One week is more than enough time for her to prepare." Ling Chen continued to pick out the jewelry.

His gaze was still wandering around the counter as he pointed to a random bracelet and said, "Wrap this up for me as well. Write a card and send it to this address."

When Ling Chen drew his card, he drew a name card. The counter manager received it. The address on it was New City Apartments 8, and it was addressed to Miss Su.

Ma Wen's eyebrows twitched. He lowered his head, so his expression could not be seen. He thought that the "Resplendent Life" was for Su Rui. It seemed that this Jian Fan was becoming more and more important in the BOSS's eyes, even more so than the unshakeable Miss Su Rui.
