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

"Be serious, I'm not kidding!"

Ye Cheng frowned and scolded him lightly. After speaking, she brought her nose close to Ji Lingfeng and sniffed him like a puppy.

Ji Lingfeng simply straightened his back and let her smell it slowly, finding it inexplicably funny, and couldn't help but smile.

"Honey, what are you still smelling?"

"Do you smell any perfume on you?"

Ye Cheng didn't even look up, pulling at her clothes and continuing to sniff.

Ji Lingfeng smiled and made a gesture of unbuttoning his shirt with one hand: "How about I take my clothes off so you can check me?"

"Quiet down, and stop showing off!"

After sniffing around for a while without finding anything, Ye Cheng looked up and said seriously, "Honey, let me ask you, do your female colleagues at work always try to get close to you, intentionally or unintentionally? For example, by asking you for advice on work, or asking you for small favors from time to time?"

When a woman has feelings for a man, she usually uses methods like these to try to get closer to him.

This man is the center of attention wherever he goes, and there are probably quite a few people at Huifeng Company who are interested in him.

Ji Lingfeng chuckled, a smile curving his handsome lips: "Wife, would you believe me if I said they couldn't get close to me?"

The president's office is staffed entirely by men.

The Ji Group building has a private elevator in its parking lot that goes directly to the president's office. No woman in the entire building even has the chance to ride the same elevator as him.

With his bodyguards, which woman could get close to him?

Ye Cheng poked the man's forehead: "Honey, do you really think your sharp eyes can scare away all women?"

"Some women love this type of man—the more aloof he is, the more they like him; the more unattainable he is, the more they want him!"

"You used to guard against me like you were a pervert. When you're out in public, you have to maintain that unwavering attitude and reject all temptations!"

Ji Lingfeng reached out and turned Ye Cheng to face him, then lifted her chin and asked teasingly with narrowed eyes, "Wife, what do you like about me?"

Ye Cheng stared at the man's face that made her blush and her heart race, and brushed his hand away.

Her ears were already tinged with a blush.

"I just like your look of wanting to be beaten, and your sharp mouth and soft heart. It makes people hate you so much."

She's grown up to be irresistibly charming; you'd only dislike her if you had a problem.

"And you, what do you like about me?"

Ye Cheng touched her nose and asked back, but she dared not look Ji Lingfeng in the eye.

She was very self-aware; she didn't consider herself a great beauty, and there were plenty of women younger and prettier than her.

In terms of physical appearance, she was far inferior to him.

Moreover, when they got their marriage certificate, this man was clearly just trying to appease Grandpa Ji.

It was because she had unintentionally helped Grandpa Ji.

For her, it was just a small act of kindness on her way to work, but in Grandpa Ji's eyes, she was his savior. After all, a sudden collapse due to high blood pressure could be life-threatening if not treated in time.

Perhaps it was because he happened to have an unmarried grandson, but Grandpa Ji, as if repaying a debt of gratitude, tried his best to bring the two of them together.

If the Cheng family hadn't broken off the engagement that day, she would have married Cheng Yuan, not Ji Lingfeng.

Everything was the result of a series of unfortunate coincidences.

"Wife."

Ji Lingfeng called out softly, tilting his head to look at Ye Cheng's face.

That one word, "wife," stirred Ye Cheng's heart.

The man's well-defined fingers reached out and hooked at the woman's chin, which she was hiding.

...the more you hook.

...the more you hide.

Ye Cheng clenched her fists, feeling inexplicably nervous.

To put it bluntly, she's not very confident in this area.

She is cheerful and optimistic, but that doesn't mean she's fearless. Perhaps it's because she's always encountered setbacks and disappointments in her romantic relationships.

Whether it was Ji Lingfeng or Cheng Yuan, she was just trying to complete a task at the time.

They used to be a couple in name only, so she didn't feel any psychological burden. But now their relationship is different, and as she faces this issue more deeply, she feels inexplicably uneasy.

Ye Cheng kept dodging, so Ji Lingfeng had no choice but to give up and gently press his forehead against her back.

"Honey, didn't you ask me what I like about you?"

Ye Cheng pricked up her ears and urged, "Then answer me!"

A deep, dark voice came from behind.

"Actually... I can't really explain it, I just like being with you."

"Being with you makes me feel especially good."

Ye Cheng's cheeks flushed slightly as she covered her mouth and giggled, her laughter shaking her head.

That's enough, that's enough, that's sweet enough.

After a moment of smug satisfaction, her expression suddenly changed, and she turned and grabbed the man's ear.

The style suddenly changes, and the shy woman instantly transforms into a tigress.

"Honey, let's continue what we were saying. If you dare to cheat on me with another woman, I'll bite your ear off!"

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

The man covered his ears, coughing and coughing...

Ye Cheng tilted her head and thought for a moment: "No, I'll just take your five million and go find some handsome young men, cheat on them every day, and never have the same one twice!"

Ji Lingfeng felt a throbbing pain in the veins on his forehead. He stretched out his large hand and grabbed the woman's waist: "You dare!"

"You'll see if I dare!" Ye Cheng sprang off the man, dodging three zhang away.

"I'll send you a different kind of hat every day—sun hats, big straw hats, baseball caps, Lei Feng hats—all green, windproof in winter and sun-shading in summer, 365 days a year, a different one every day! Hahaha!"

Ye Cheng smiled mischievously, her chin practically pointing to the ceiling in a defiant gesture.

Ji Lingfeng frowned and pressed his temples. This woman knew how to annoy him.

The man's eyes were deep, a flirtatious smile playing on his lips, his voice neither warm nor cold: "Wife, I want to tease you, what should I do?"

As he spoke, his tall figure strode toward the woman.

Ye Cheng shrank back and quickly slipped away.

It was too late; the back of her neck was already being lifted by the collar.

She simply stood still and shouted, "Right, honey, let's get down to business!"

Ji Lingfeng grabbed the woman by the back of her collar with his large hand, turned her over, and stared at her with a half-smile: "Tell me, let's see what other hats you have."

Ye Cheng blinked and said, word by word, "It's really important. My tricycle was stolen by some bastard."

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

He twitched the corner of his mouth: "You bastard?"

"Yes!" Ye Cheng nodded emphatically.

"There are a bunch of Mercedes-Benz and BMWs parked in the neighborhood and they don't steal them, but they choose to target my worthless junk. I don't know which bastard is that, they're both stupid and heartless!"

Ji Lingfeng's heart skipped a beat again, and his eyelids trembled.

What a stupid and heartless bastard!

It seems like they're standing right here.

Ye Cheng didn't notice Ji Lingfeng's expression and continued to curse while grimacing.

"Honey, do you think thieves these days don't use their brains? Even if they just blindfolded themselves and stole any car in the neighborhood, it would be better than my beat-up, rattling tricycle. At least use your brain! That's someone's livelihood; how much could you possibly sell it for? Those heartless bastards! Just thinking about it makes me furious! Ugh, I wish that thief would never have a son!"

"Wife—"

Ji Lingfeng was terrified and stopped himself from hearing what he was about to hear, his voice trembling slightly.

"Ahem, is it possible that they were also... forced into this situation by life's circumstances?"
