Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

The man's messy bangs were still damp, his deep and captivating peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, and his lips were lightly pursed in a mesmerizing curve as he looked at her with a half-smile.

Two long, straight legs crossed, their sexy, muscular lines peeking out from under her clothes, exuding an irresistible charm.

With a man like that in bed, who could resist him!

Ye Cheng stared at him blankly, her heart pounding like a deer, a million thoughts racing through her mind.

What is he doing sitting here at this time?

Is there something you want to say to her?

Why does his expression make people have all sorts of wild thoughts?

Why is the air in the room becoming increasingly ambiguous?

Could it be that he's thinking about... tonight?

"Cough cough!"

Realizing she had been lost in thought, she blushed, coughed lightly twice, and looked away from her flustered gaze, muttering, "It seems like it's almost eleven o'clock."

The man remained unmoved, only giving a low, hoarse "hmm".

A simple sound emanating from her throat, as light as a feather, brushed past, stirring the woman's heart.

Ye Cheng involuntarily swallowed, and asked nervously, "Is something wrong?"

"No."

Ji Lingfeng looked at her with deep eyes, his voice low and magnetic.

Suddenly realizing that his answer might be wrong, he changed the subject: "Yes!"

"By the way, what about your... proposal?"

"..."

Ye Cheng was taken aback.

Given the ambiguous atmosphere and the affectionate gaze, one would expect the man to say something fitting the mood.

He actually asked her about the project proposal?!

"Didn't I already send it to you a few days ago?" She glanced at Ji Lingfeng with some displeasure and walked towards the dressing table.

The man looked as if he had just realized something.

This was a topic he picked up randomly without thinking.

"Oh, right, I remember now."

He paused, then added, "This time was better than last time; it's enough to deal with a company like Yaren's."

Ye Cheng twitched the corners of her mouth. Was this man trying to praise her or insult her?

She opened the face cream, scooped out a dollop, and smeared it on her face with such a dramatic motion that it seemed a bit like she was throwing a tantrum.

"Of course, I must thank you for your guidance. Is there anything else?" she asked again.

Ji Lingfeng's eyes darkened, and the words he wanted to say lingered on his tongue before he uttered a few more: "It seems there aren't any left."

"Then why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"

Ye Cheng frowned and couldn't help but raise her voice a few decibels.

This man inexplicably came to her room, making her feel all itchy inside. But after going around in circles, he ended up talking about something trivial, and she didn't know if he had lost his mind.

Ji Lingfeng's face was gloomy. He hesitated for two seconds, then walked towards the bedroom door.

Ye Cheng stared at his tall back, biting her lip hard.

The man, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around abruptly, crossed his arms, leaned against the doorway, and said with a sullen expression and some irritation:

I'll sleep here tonight.

"Ok?"

Ye Cheng opened her mouth in surprise, wondering if she had misheard.

I didn't know how to respond to his words for a moment.

In an instant, the bedroom fell into a deathly silence.

After a long pause, the man moved his lips and offered another lame excuse.

"I... found the bed here to be more comfortable than the one over there."

Ye Cheng: "..."

My taut nerves were hit with another devastating blow.

What do you mean by saying this bed is more comfortable than that one?!

The first sentence left much to the imagination, but the second sentence delivered a devastating blow.

A flame suddenly ignited in my heart.

Is this man deliberately trying to provoke her by speaking in a disjointed manner?

"Should we switch rooms? I'll sleep in the guest room!"

Ye Cheng rolled her eyes in a huff and went to the bedside to tidy up the blankets and pillows.

Even the arrogant and domineering CEO was provoked by his own nonsensical words, causing the veins on his forehead to throb.

The man held his forehead and took a deep breath.

It's too difficult. All he wants is to sleep with his wife!

But I don't know how to express it.

He had been sleeping next to her for two nights, but she didn't know it.

Sleeping next to her, he felt a strange sense of relaxation and pleasure.

Seeing Ye Cheng tidying up the blankets, Ji Lingfeng finally couldn't hold back any longer. His heart filled with anger, he strode over, grabbed the woman's arm, and said in a deep voice, "Can't we sleep together?!"

His tone carried a hint of anger.

Ye Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat impatiently, "Didn't you say we were going to sleep in separate rooms?"

Who suggested sleeping in separate rooms? Who wanted to sleep on the floor?

Even in that situation last time, he wouldn't touch her. She still has some self-respect!

What exactly does this grown man want after all this fuss and beating around the bush?

She's not a worm in his stomach!

Ji Lingfeng pressed his temples, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter a single sentence.

"We're a married couple who have registered our marriage, so it's okay for us to sleep together, right?"

His voice was low and restrained, and he tightened his grip on the woman's hand.

"what do you want to say in the end!"

Ye Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, pulled her hand back, and asked with a frown.

"Do you like me or not? Just give me a straight answer!"

She bit her lip and pressed for an answer.

The arrogant and domineering CEO's jaw tightened, and his ears instantly turned red.

He navigated the complex and ever-changing business world with ease, yet he always lacked confidence when expressing his feelings to this woman.

He was an unattainable tycoon, while she was just an ordinary woman from the bottom of society.

The words of Zhou Weitian attacking him echoed in his ears again, each one piercing his heart and causing him pain.

Indeed, he just doesn't dare admit that he likes this woman.

Ji Lingfeng lowered his eyelids and looked at Ye Cheng with a complicated expression.

Finally, as if summoning immense courage, he slightly tugged at the corner of his lips and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "During my business trip to Europe, I thought about you every single day. Does that mean I like you?"

After saying this, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

After letting go of the heavy burden that had been weighing on my heart for so long, I suddenly felt much more relaxed, even my breathing became much easier.

The sudden confession left the woman opposite him speechless.

"..."

Ye Cheng stared at Ji Lingfeng with wide eyes, somewhat incredulous.

This incredibly handsome man.

Did he tell her in person that he missed her? That he liked her?!

Soon, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but secretly turn up, and her fair cheeks were tinged with a blush.

"Why didn't you say so sooner after all that going around in circles..."

She muttered shyly, looking down at her feet.

"And you, have you missed your husband?"

Ji Lingfeng smiled faintly, but his expression was very serious.

"What do you think? She dreams about you all the time, she even dreams about—"

Ye Cheng stopped talking, blinked her bright eyes, and smiled secretly: "I won't tell you."

Ji Lingfeng lowered his eyes, a slight tremor running through his heart.

He knew that Zhou Weitian's medicine would not only make people drowsy, but also cause hallucinations. The woman must have mistaken Zhou Weitian for him, otherwise Zhou Weitian wouldn't know that he hadn't touched her.

The woman in front of him smiled, her eyes crinkling, and two adorable dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, making his heart flutter.
