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

When Ye Cheng came out after taking a shower, the room was empty; Ji Lingfeng was no longer home.

She was quite surprised to find out where the man had gone in the middle of the night.

She walked closer to the dressing table, picked up her phone, and saw that Ji Lingfeng had sent her a message ten minutes earlier.

With just a few words, it said there was an urgent matter at the company.

Ye Cheng immediately typed a reply: Be careful driving at night.

After sending the message, I clicked my tongue in amazement.

It turns out working at an investment firm isn't easy either. It's already 11 p.m., and they're on call at a moment's notice.

Compared to that, at least Chuanggao doesn't cause trouble for people in the middle of the night.

Remembering that she hadn't yet shared the good news with Hua Zhixin, she then called her friend.

When Hua Zhixin heard about the huge prize of five million, she paused for a few seconds before exclaiming in surprise.

"Wow, Sister Orange, what incredible luck you've struck! Hahahaha! Your man is amazing, he's struck gold! Hahahaha!"

Hua Zhixin shouted excitedly, as if she had won a big prize.

"Orange, you've transformed into a rich woman!"

"Being a rich woman, I can still play the role for a few days," Ye Cheng said with a smile.

“I plan to research properties in Shenzhen and use this money to buy an apartment so I can experience what it’s like to be a mortgage slave.”

Hua Zhixin joked, "Being a mortgage slave isn't something you can just decide to do. Chengzi, I had a feeling from the beginning that your husband wasn't an ordinary man. You've really made us proud!"

"That's right, being both a young comrade and a kept woman, he's definitely not an ordinary man," Ye Cheng teased back with a smile.

Hua Zhixin playfully scolded, "Chengzi, you're still making fun of me. That was all just a joke before. I'm so happy for you now."

Ye Cheng then thought of something else, "Oh right, Zhixin, let's find a place to have fun this weekend. It's on me. How about we go to the newly opened Golden Resort? They have hot springs and barbecue. Bring your eldest child along, and we can all get together."

I spend my days either working or setting up a stall; I haven't been able to go out and relax in a long time.

"Sure!" Hua Zhixin said happily, agreeing immediately.

“I also asked Ji Lingfeng to invite his boyfriend, the more the merrier.”

Ye Cheng wanted to invite Jin Dayu and his girlfriend to join her as a way of expressing her gratitude, since she was still staying at their house.

I almost mistook him for Ji Lingfeng's best friend before, which makes me laugh when I think about it.

"Boyfriend?" Hua Zhixin was taken aback.

"Yeah, that best buddy of mine who I consider to be my boyfriend, hahaha!"

Ye Cheng couldn't stop smiling.

"You know what, after meeting him twice, I found that his friend is quite nice, honest and straightforward. If you two didn't already have partners, I would really like to set you two up."

Hua Zhixin pouted: "It's too late, my Dabao is irreplaceable."

After chatting with Hua Zhixin, Ye Cheng yawned and collapsed onto the bed.

Lying in the soft, comfortable blankets, I was soon overwhelmed by an irresistible drowsiness.

The woman had been exercising too much these past two days; she was already panting after just two minutes.

I slept soundly until dawn.

After waking up, Ye Cheng reached for her phone on the bedside table, rubbed her eyes, and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.

She glanced to the side instinctively; the other half of the bed was empty.

I reached out and touched Ji Lingfeng's pillow, but I couldn't feel any warmth.

"Hasn't he come back all night?"

She frowned groggily, muttering to herself.

I picked up my phone again to check, but there were no calls or messages.

Just as I was hesitating, Ji Lingfeng called.

Ye Cheng immediately swiped the screen and asked impatiently, "Honey, you didn't come home last night?"

"Hmm, you worked all night. Are you up yet?"

The man's deep, husky voice drifted into my ears.

"I just got up," Ye Cheng said, before getting out of bed.

"No need to make breakfast, I've already bought it, it'll be there in fifteen minutes." Ji Lingfeng's voice was soft and gentle.

Ye Cheng said "Oh," but her mind was filled with doubt.

A deadly exposing company.

After working all night, this man didn't even get angry. He's too easy to exploit!

After getting up, washing up, and changing his clothes, Ji Lingfeng returned home shortly afterward, carrying two large bags of packed breakfast.

The man was still wearing the same black suit as last night, his posture upright, cold and composed, but his handsome features couldn't hide a hint of weariness.

"Honey, Huifeng is really going too far! They made people come back to the company to work all night and didn't release them until this morning. Even machines can't run non-stop!"

Ye Cheng looked at her husband with heartache, seeing him as an exploited and oppressed corporate slave, and felt a surge of resentment.

Ji Lingfeng looked down at her.

The woman was pouting, her lips were so pursed they could hold a wine jug.

The man's lips curled into a lazy smile.

A warm, spring-like smile graced his handsome face, seemingly dispelling all signs of weariness.

"Why are you still laughing! Have you gone crazy from working overtime all night? Who can still laugh after working overtime all night?!"

Ye Cheng playfully scolded him, then casually took the bag from Ji Lingfeng's hand.

"Is your boss a pervert? Why does he have to call people to the company in the middle of the night for something so urgent?"

Ji Lingfeng glanced at the woman who was preparing breakfast without making a sound.

"It's like this, there are some things that need to be taken care of regarding the project in Europe, because of the time difference..."

"Now that people are being allowed to come back to catch up on their sleep, aren't they?"

He spoke casually, paused, and then changed the subject.

"By the way, didn't you say the staff meals at the InterContinental Hotel were good? This is their morning tea. I bought a few servings after get off work. You should try it."

Ye Cheng opened the takeout boxes, looked at the various exquisite tea snacks, and rubbed her hands together, her appetite immediately whetted.

The foodie sat down and started eating without any hesitation.

“Honey, let’s take Kim Dae-woo to the Golden Resort this weekend. Let him bring his girlfriend. I’ve also invited my good friend Hua Zhixin and her son Da Bao. It’ll be more fun with more people. We’re living such a miserable life every day, let’s have some fun.”

Ye Cheng ate the delicious snacks with gusto.

"Okay, you can arrange it."

Ji Lingfeng still had a faint smile on his lips.

Seeing the man watching her quietly without touching his chopsticks, Ye Cheng smacked her lips and stopped eating.

"Honey, why are you staring at me like that? Let's eat together."

As he spoke, a trickle of char siu bao sauce inadvertently dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Ji Lingfeng pursed his thin lips slightly, a gentle smile spreading across his face, and casually grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth clean.

"Maybe I didn't have an appetite because I stayed up late, but seeing you eat makes me feel full."

Women always seem to enjoy their food immensely.

He enjoys watching it.

I remember the day after we got our marriage certificate, she ate a whole bowl of noodles for breakfast.

He was stunned when he saw it.

Ye Cheng twitched her lips, glared at the man, her mouth still full of food, and said reproachfully, "You're not thinking that you're full just by looking at me, are you!"

Ji Lingfeng stroked his chin and smiled indulgently.

"Eat more, and I'll take you to work after you finish."

Ye Cheng paused, then said, "No, I'll ride my bike to work by myself today. If you don't have an appetite, go take a nap first, and eat when you're well-rested."

"It's okay, I can take you home first, then you can sleep."

Ji Lingfeng's voice was low.

"No, honey, you stayed up all night last night and didn't get any rest. I'm scared to drive me home!"

Ye Cheng refused seriously, her face bearing a solemn expression.

Ji Lingfeng pursed his lips and reached out to pinch her fair and rosy cheeks.

As she casually raised her hand, a faint smell, seemingly like disinfectant, entered Ye Cheng's nostrils.

She paused for a moment, then, without thinking much of it, continued eating.
