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

The next morning was the weekend, so I didn't have to go to work.

Ye Cheng woke up a little later than usual.

I embarrassed myself terribly last night, and I kept overthinking things, so I don't even know when I finally fell asleep.

She got up and quickly washed and changed her clothes.

As soon as she came out, she ran into the man who had rescued her from the toilet the night before.

The two of them faced each other in the long darkness of the night, and any awkwardness was enough to cover it up.

At this moment, in broad daylight, their eyes met.

Their gazes met and collided in mid-air, then subtly drifted apart.

Ye Cheng's cheeks flushed, she pursed her lips, and coughed lightly twice to cover up her embarrassment.

Then, feigning composure, he said, "Mr. Ji, I'm really sorry about what happened last night."

Ji Lingfeng's face was gloomy, his jaw was tense, and he only curled the corners of his mouth without responding.

He strode past Ye Cheng, stopped after a few steps, turned slightly, and coldly uttered a sentence behind her:

"You don't need to take it to heart. I'm not interested in a woman like you."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room without looking back.

Ye Cheng: ...

He looked utterly speechless.

This man is really straightforward!

Not interested in a woman like her?

With a face like his, finding a woman who's interested in him shouldn't be difficult at all!

He's probably just not interested in women at all!

It's clear they didn't take last night seriously!

What's there to be nervous about!

You're not interested in women, and I'm not interested in gay men like you!

After comforting herself, Ye Cheng let out a long sigh and started making breakfast in the kitchen.

It's often said that every foodie is a hidden chef, and that's absolutely true.

Ye Cheng's slightly chubby figure is hard to lose because she is a complete foodie and loves to experiment with all kinds of delicious food, so her cooking skills have naturally become quite good.

At home, Lai Yulan always found fault with her, either complaining that she spent too much on gas and water bills, or scolding her as a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat.

Living here allows you to do whatever you want and show off your skills.

Soon, a sumptuous breakfast was laid out on the table.

Ji Lingfeng changed his clothes and came out, glancing casually at the dining table.

On the table was a large plate of steaming hot pan-fried buns, the glossy black sesame seeds and bright green scallions gleaming enticingly, and the aroma of meat filling the air.

A plate of golden pumpkin pancakes, round and plump, looks so chewy and tempting that it makes you want to grab them and eat them.

A healthy egg and vegetable salad, plus a plate of chopped fruit.

Looking at the tempting breakfast, Ji Lingfeng actually felt a little hungry.

Compared to the awful bowl of noodles yesterday morning, today's breakfast is much more palatable.

It seems this woman wasn't exaggerating; she does have some culinary skills.

Ye Cheng was the first to pick up a golden pumpkin cake, take a bite, and then make an exaggerated "tsk tsk" sound, saying how delicious it was.

"That's great. Having a home makes all the difference. I can cook whatever I want to eat myself."

Ji Lingfeng glanced at the woman.

Is this woman just easygoing, or is she a great actress?

He silently sat down at the table, picked up a piece of pumpkin cake, and took a small bite.

The outer layer is crispy, the inside is soft and chewy, and it has a natural sweetness from the pumpkin. It's really good.

Ye Cheng placed a pan-fried bun into his bowl and said with a warm smile, "Mr. Ji, please try this pan-fried bun. It's my specialty."

Ji Lingfeng glanced at her coldly.

The woman's watery eyes were brimming with laughter.

He seemed a little reserved just now, but in an instant he acted as if nothing had happened.

It seems that Grandpa underestimated the granddaughter-in-law he had chosen.

This woman is not only strategic, but also an exceptional actress!

He's very cunning!

He muttered to himself, then looked down at the cute-looking pan-fried buns in the bowl, picked one up, and took a bite.

The top is soft and the bottom is crispy and fragrant. The moment you bite into it, the delicious soup bursts out, and the meat filling inside is rich in savory sauce, tender and delicious.

After finishing one, I reached out and grabbed another.

The man ate his breakfast with elegant posture, a sight that was pleasing to the eye.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but steal glances while eating, finding the food in her bowl even more delicious!

It seems that what Hua Zhixin said made sense.

But it needs to be changed here.

Looking at a good-looking man a few more times isn't enough to stop you from eating; it can actually make you want to eat more.

Appetizing!

At this moment, Ye Cheng's phone, which was on the table, started ringing loudly:

Money is a good thing.

We all love you.

Your charm is irresistible to us all.

……

The sudden appearance of the catchy tune made Ji Lingfeng cough twice.

Ye Cheng looked embarrassed, quickly put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone and pressed the button.

Her ringtone was the viral internet song "Money is a Good Thing," which she used to motivate herself to work hard.

My phone is usually on silent or vibrate mode, but I listened to some music while making breakfast and forgot to switch it back.

The call was from my mother, Lai Yulan.

As soon as the call connected, Lai Yulan's loud voice pierced the ears.

"Ye Cheng, you've only been gone two days, and you already don't even care about your mother anymore, huh?! What about Cheng Yuan's dowry?"

"I already said we've reached an agreement, and I'll definitely give it to you. You won't be shortchanged by a single penny, so why are you nagging me endlessly!"

She lowered her voice and turned her body to the side.

"You brat, if I hadn't urged you, I probably wouldn't have received the bride price by the time my grandson was born!"

"I heard your second uncle's daughter is getting married soon, and the groom works for a big company."

He earns a million-dollar annual salary, owns a house and a car, and gave your second uncle's family a dowry of 500,000 yuan in one lump sum!

"Tsk tsk, look at us, we're both raising daughters, but one of them is raising a golden phoenix, while mine is raising a dirt dove!"

"puff……"

Ji Lingfeng was drinking water when he heard this and choked on his water again.

what? !

That sounds really strange. Does it mean he married a spotted dove?!

Hearing the coughing sound, Ye Cheng turned to look at Ji Lingfeng.

Ji Lingfeng glanced away subtly.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Lai Yulan was shouting loudly on the other end of the phone, her voice practically on speakerphone, so everyone around her could hear her clearly.

"Your cousin is getting married at the Singapore Hotel next month. Take Cheng Yuan with you to show your face, and bring my wedding gift money too."

Lai Yulan gave instructions over the phone.

My cousin Ye Baozhu is getting married, so I have to give her a thousand yuan as a wedding gift. Adding my mother's share, it's two thousand yuan.

Ye Cheng had no time to feel sorry for the RMB; her headache was dealing with the fact that she hadn't yet explained Cheng Yuan's annulment of the engagement.

She casually replied, "Mom, I'm too busy to go, just a gift will do."

"No, I have to go!"

"You brat, just mentioning you makes me furious! Your grandparents gave me a real dressing down when I gave birth to you, you worthless thing!"

I suffered a lot of mistreatment in the Ye family during those years, but thankfully my mother gave birth to your brother.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to hold my head up in the Ye family!

Now look what's happened! My relatives are laughing at me again, saying I've raised an old maid who can't get married. You've completely disgraced me!

The Ye family has a long history of favoring sons over daughters. Lai Yulan gave birth to Ye Cheng as her first child, and suffered from the Ye family's contempt and ridicule over the years. Therefore, she has always disliked this daughter and has despised her since she was a child.

Lai Yulan became increasingly agitated on the other end of the phone, launching into a tirade of curses and profanities, before finally raising her voice several octaves at the end:

"It's fine if you don't have a wedding, but you still have to let them know that even this money-losing girl like you has a husband, right?"

Also, Ye Sheng and Ruo Qing want to buy a car after their trip. Make sure you explain this clearly to the Cheng family.

The marriage certificate has been issued and the couple has moved in. If the betrothal gifts aren't delivered within a week...

"I'm going to go to the Cheng family's house and cause a scene for three days and three nights!"

Lai Yulan fiercely uttered some harsh words.

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Ye Cheng gave a perfunctory answer and quickly hung up the phone.

If I keep talking like this, I'll embarrass my mother to the point of losing face.

She put down her phone and secretly glanced at the man opposite her, guessing that he had probably overheard most of their conversation.

Ye Cheng chewed on a pan-fried bun, while secretly plotting something.

It's all the fault of the Cheng family. The scumbag mother raised a scumbag son. They broke off the engagement and he even had to pay 100,000 yuan for renovations, which he can't get back.

If she weren't afraid of getting into trouble, she would have loved for Lai Yulan to run to the scumbag and make a scene, so she could vent her anger.

Since Cheng Yuan, that mama's boy scumbag, can't pay back the money anytime soon, I might as well try asking Ji Lingfeng to solve my immediate problem.

She glanced at Ji Lingfeng, who was eating breakfast as if nothing was wrong.

"Um, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Ye Cheng mustered her courage and spoke.
