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

"Cough cough, you...you're trying to choke me to death!"

Ye Cheng had a mouthful of meat in her mouth, but Ji Lingfeng stuffed another large piece into it, making her cheeks bulge. She chewed it all up before finally managing to swallow it with difficulty.

I picked up my water glass and took a few gulps, then noticed the man across the table was smirking.

She glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said angrily, "Honey, I suspect your motives are impure!"

Ji Lingfeng raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

He was just laughing because he thought his wife was especially cute, so how could that mean he had impure motives?

"If I weigh more tomorrow, you'll be responsible!"

Ye Cheng rolled her eyes, looking quite serious.

Ji Lingfeng smiled slightly and asked, "Then tell me how many kilograms it weighs now?"

"One Hundred S——"

Ye Cheng realized what was happening and immediately covered her mouth.

The word "three" almost slipped out of my mouth.

That cunning jerk, trying to trick her into revealing her weight? No way!

She changed the subject, raising her eyebrows and saying reproachfully, "I'm not telling you!"

Ji Lingfeng pursed his lips: "Wife, come here."

Ye Cheng glanced at him: "What?"

Ji Lingfeng patted his leg, a charming smile playing on his lips: "Come sit here with me."

Ye Cheng's face flushed slightly.

Eating, don't be so serious!

Looking at that smile on the other side, it seemed impossible to resist.

She stood up shyly and walked over.

Ji Lingfeng casually reached out and pulled the person onto his lap.

Ye Cheng was quite happy to sit on his long legs.

Countless women would love to sit on his long, shapely legs.

Feeling secretly pleased, he heard Ji Lingfeng's low, playful voice: "I can tell you're someone important just by sitting down..."

Ye Cheng: "..."

Turning her head and looking up, she saw Ji Lingfeng looking at her with a leisurely air.

"You are looking for death!"

Ye Cheng blushed and spat out a curse.

Suddenly asking her to sit on his lap—it turns out he had ulterior motives.

I don't want to talk to him anymore.

Just as he was about to slip away, Ji Lingfeng grabbed him by the waist.

Immediately afterwards, a warm, large hand slid down onto her stomach.

"..."

Ye Cheng stiffened as if she had been electrocuted, and her face turned pale instantly.

She had just finished eating, and her chubby little belly was now bulging. This man had ulterior motives.

In a moment of panic, she quickly held her breath, pulled in her belly, grabbed Ji Lingfeng's hand tightly, and shouted, "Don't touch me!"

Ji Lingfeng narrowed his peach blossom eyes and smiled gently: "Why can't I touch it?"

Ye Cheng said irritably, "I knew you weren't up to any good!"

She paused, then muttered, "I'm clearly on a diet, but you keep stuffing me with meat, trying to make me fat so you can have your fun!"

Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle, craning his neck to look at the table: "Wife, are you sure your weight loss method is okay?"

She was clearly enjoying her meal more than anyone else just now.

"You and I……"

Ye Cheng's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Ji Lingfeng reached out and pinched her cheek, a smile playing on his lips: "Didn't you want me to take responsibility? Well, I'll take responsibility for you, that's fine."

Taking responsibility? Men's words are deceitful!

If she really grows into a big fat woman, he'll probably pack his bags and run away overnight.

A sense of crisis arose unconsciously.

Ye Cheng thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "No, I've eaten so much today, and since I have nothing else to do, you have to come running with me."

Ji Lingfeng was a little surprised and gently flicked her nose: "That's rare, then I'll play along to the end."

Actually, he was quite tired. He hadn't slept all night and had worked all day.

However, seeing how enthusiastic she was, I agreed.

A cool breeze was blowing, and on the street leading from the residential area to the park, many men and women were already enjoying a night run.

The young couple changed into sportswear.

Ji Lingfeng looked Ye Cheng up and down and said, "You don't exercise much, so try running three kilometers today. Take it slow."

Ye Cheng flexed her wrists to warm up, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Don't look down on me. I was a long-distance running champion when I was in school."

Towards the end, I started to lose confidence.

I myself am talking about my school days. If I do the math, it's been seven or eight years since I graduated from university.

Ji Lingfeng slightly curved his lips, but remained silent.

The two started running along the sidewalk under the shade of the trees.

After running for only a short while, Ye Cheng started to feel unwell.

"Why are all the women on the street staring at you? Even the men are giving you a second look."

A man with good looks and a great physique attracts attention wherever he goes.

"Run away obediently, or you won't be able to speak in a while."

Ji Lingfeng looked straight ahead, his tone indifferent.

As expected, after running 500 meters, Ye Cheng started to pant. After running another 500 meters, he was so exhausted that he was covered in sweat and couldn't catch his breath. He also couldn't keep up with Ji Lingfeng's speed.

"Oh dear... I ate too much today, it's hard to run around."

Ye Cheng gritted his teeth and panted, supporting his back as he went from jogging to walking.

Even when you can't run, you still need to find an excuse.

Ji Lingfeng slowed down and looked back at her: "Long-distance running champion, you've only run one kilometer so far. Want to take a walk? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Hearing his teasing tone, Ye Cheng defiantly replied, "Don't worry about me, I can run again after walking and resting."

"Then catch up slowly."

Ji Lingfeng smiled and continued running forward.

After running 300 meters, I looked back to see if Ye Cheng was keeping up.

There was no sign of a woman behind him.

He stopped and looked around, and saw Ye Cheng walking side by side with a young man wearing headphones around his neck. The two seemed to be chatting and laughing.

A long-dormant anger surged within him.

His wife is really a handful; in the blink of an eye, she's chatting with that handsome young man again.

The man, suppressing his anger, strode forward and, with a stern face, dragged Ye Cheng over.

"Husband..." Ye Cheng didn't react for a moment, and her steps became a little unsteady.

The young man was stunned by the towering mountain that suddenly appeared before him.

The man was strikingly handsome with a powerful aura, especially his sharp eyes, which radiated a chilling coldness that sent a shiver down the spine.

The young man waved awkwardly and ran off quickly.

So you came out for a run with a purpose in mind—to chat with some handsome guys?

Ji Lingfeng glanced coldly at Ye Cheng.

"I was just strolling around when I accidentally stepped on his heel..." Ye Cheng explained.

"Your target was so precise? I didn't see you step on an old man's heel."

Ji Lingfeng was veiled in jealousy.

Ye Cheng laughed speechlessly, "It was an accident. Did you think I would deliberately choose someone to step on?"

"And then the two of them started chatting and laughing?" Ji Lingfeng looked down at her.

"What do you mean by chatting and laughing? I stepped on someone, so of course I had to apologize to him. He asked why he hadn't seen me jogging at night before, and I replied that it was the first time today. We only exchanged a few words."

Ji Lingfeng snorted coldly.

"If I hadn't come, there probably would have been more than just two sentences."

Ye Cheng detected the vinegar smell and immediately became interested, teasingly saying, "Is vinegar free these days? You can smell it everywhere."

Ji Lingfeng, his face dark, pulled her hand and said, "Now run with me. If you get lost again, I'll carry you back."

For the rest of the journey, Ji Lingfeng accompanied Ye Cheng, running and resting intermittently.

When I got home, I walked to the gate of Jingtaiyuan residential area.

Ye Cheng was tired from running, so she grabbed Ji Lingfeng's arm and leaned against him.

"Honey, I really can't walk anymore. Why don't you try carrying me home now?"

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

Ye Cheng shook his arm and continued to whine, "Forget it, it looks too ugly to carry you like this, just carry me home."

Men really have no resistance to their wives' coquettishness.

Ji Lingfeng slightly bent his knees and bowed: "Come on up."

Ye Cheng pursed her lips and chuckled to herself.

Lying on a broad, sturdy back, I felt an instant surge of happiness.

"Don't you dare say I'm heavy!" she warned.

In a luxury car parked by the roadside, a pair of resentful eyes stared intently out the window.
