Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

"Hmm?" Sheng Yang lowered his eyes. Her hair had probably just been washed and was not completely dry yet.

Maybe because she had just showered, she looked like a handful of tender lotus roots wrapped in a bathrobe...slender and graceful, yet brittle, as if she would break if held in her hand without carefulness...

Xiang Ran saw him looking down at her, and couldn't help but follow his gaze down.

As soon as she lowered her head, Sheng Yang grabbed her waist and lifted her up, whispering, "Don't pay attention to what my mother said. She was just reminding me to send money, but she was embarrassed to ask me directly. I will make arrangements as appropriate... As for the gifts for the elders, I will arrange them. You can review the list when the time comes. We will prepare it accordingly next year."

"Oh, so that's it..." Xiang Ran was held in his arms. At the moment, she didn't dare to move at all.

But just being held by him like this made her feel hot. "Why don't you go take a shower first?"

He kissed her on the lips.

"Not urgent."

"Okay then..." Xiang Ran said, twisting her body a little, trying to break free from his embrace, "Let me go first, I... go..."

Before she could finish, Sheng Yang hooked the belt of her bathrobe with his fingers and easily ripped open the buckle, and the silk pajamas fell down her smooth body like water.

She just felt coldness on her shoulders and back.

She looked at Sheng Yang and knew that it was useless for her to say anything at this moment.

His eyes were firm and focused... and his actions showed that he had no intention of listening to her at all... and her bathrobe had already slipped down.

She watched Sheng Yang's clothes fall to the ground one by one in front of her, and had to close her eyes.

Oh, I shouldn’t have been massaging his acupuncture points there when he came back.

But how could she know that he would come back at this time!!!

Sheng Yang grabbed her shoulders and turned her around, half pushing and half carrying her to the bed.

Although it was only a few steps, Xiang Ran staggered backward.

I don't know when the slippers fell off.

Sheng Yang picked her up and put her on the bed.

He knelt on the bed and bent down to kiss her: "Before you said you wanted to pick an important day to get the marriage certificate. The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. Does it count as an important day?"

"Ah?" Xiang Ran was stunned. "What?"

"I'm talking about us getting a new marriage certificate... Mid-Autumn Festival isn't an option, and we have National Day off, so what about Double Ninth Festival?"

"Why would anyone go to get a marriage certificate on Chongyang Festival?" Xiang Ran retorted awkwardly.

"How come there isn't?"

"Something like Valentine's Day or Christmas." Xiang Ran said casually.

There was no way she would still be here when winter came.

"This is what you promised. Don't go back on your word when the time comes!" the man said in a deep voice.

"We'll see how it goes when the time comes." Xiang Ran tried to be vague again, "I was just giving an analogy. You might be on a business trip then... and not be in the country."

"Impossible! Even if I'm on an alien planet, I'm going to come back on a spaceship," the man said firmly.

This made Xiang Ran laugh.

She was really annoyed because she was asked about getting the marriage certificate.

So she bit her lip, unwilling to cooperate with him.

Sheng Yang also felt it, and he held her waist tightly to prevent her from moving.

But when I saw that even her neck and ears were red, I felt pity for her.

He bit her earlobe... and whispered, "Just for a moment."

The kiss was imprinted on her shoulder... and in an instant, she turned over... and no one cared to say anything.

Xiang Ran hadn't expected him to be so quick to resolve the situation, which only made her feel doubly...

She pushed Sheng Yang and said, "Hurry up and take a shower. You're sweating."

Sheng Yang didn't want to move.

He tilted his head and smiled, "The condoms in the drawer... need to be restocked."

Xiang Ran pouted when she heard that he was being frivolous.

So he stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom.

He watched her get up, hurriedly pulled her arm and asked, "Are you going to the bathroom too?"

"Yeah. If you want to wash first, I'll let you go first."

"Don't go. Stay with me for a while." He placed the back of her hand on his face. "I have to go out tonight to pick up an important guest at the airport."

"You're going out again? When? What guest do you want to meet in person?"

She turned to look at Sheng Yang, but found that he had fallen asleep.

His chest rose and fell slowly with his heavy breathing.

She pulled a thin blanket over him and covered his shoulders, wondering when to wake him up. What if he fell asleep?

This bastard is really something. If he wants to go out, why does he have to come back home?

But then I thought he had an assistant, secretary, and driver since it was an important trip.

There will definitely be no delay.

She stopped worrying about it.

So I went to take another shower.

After drying her hair, she walked into the room and saw that Sheng Yang was awake and answering the phone with his eyes closed.

After hanging up the phone, he threw it aside.

He opened his eyes and turned his head. He smiled and said to her, "Hey, the one standing there, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Would you like to come over and give me a kiss?"

"You're so frivolous!" Xiang Ran threw the towel she used to wipe her hair at his face.

"What a nice smell!" The man sniffed the towel and then argued, "I'm just too serious outside, so I want to be a little less serious at home.

"By the way, who did you say you were going to pick up at the airport?"

"The Governor of XNHK Province in Country Z." He said as he got up.

"Country Z?"

"XNHAK seems to be an outlet to the sea, right?" Xiang Ran asked.

She also has some knowledge of Country K, a Southeast Asian country.

"Yes, it is also a special zone. Their XNHK Governor led a delegation to attend the industrial and commercial promotion conference."

Xiang Ran became interested when she heard this: "Oh? They want companies from our country to invest?"

Sheng Yang explained, "Well, it's the Belt and Road Initiative. Excess manufacturing capacity and the overseas expansion of certain businesses are also a trend, and Yixing Group is no exception. You—you know what 'going overseas' means, right?"

"Yeah. I heard about it on the news."

"In general, companies need to optimize resource allocation. For example, they can shift excess production capacity and expand overseas markets. I've always believed that businesses should have a global perspective and do business worldwide."

"Wow, husband, you are so awesome." Xiang Ran crossed her hands under her chin, her eyes sparkling.

Sheng Yang was almost "ruined" by his wife's straightforward praise.

In fact, he has always paid attention to "cultivating his energy" because his grandfather Sheng Yimin has always taught him that to be a qualified leader, he needs to "keep his emotions under wraps" so that he can form a barrier and prevent others from guessing what he is thinking.

This is also a way to control subordinates and a way to train one's mind.

Sheng Yang cleared his throat awkwardly, then pulled back the corner of his mouth that had accidentally risen. "Today, Vice Chairman L and I from the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce are meeting guests, and there's a promotion meeting tomorrow. So the next few days will be quite busy. You should go to bed tonight."
