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

Zhou Meng'er bit her lip tightly, her body trembling slightly involuntarily.

The overlapping figures outside gradually receded into the distance until they disappeared from her sight. She remained motionless, staring in that direction for a long time.

The emotions in his eyes were incredibly complex.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that it was the Ji Lingfeng she knew.

The cold and ruthless man she had known since childhood, who had rejected her time and time again and remained abstinent from women for over twenty years, was now actually lowering himself in the street to carry a woman on his back.

Zhou Meng'er's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly let out a sneer.

Is that the ordinary woman he said wasn't worth her strangeness?

But it was worth it for him to change himself and become a different person.

Zhou Meng'er clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

……

Lying on Ji Lingfeng's back, Ye Cheng suddenly became interested again and teased, "Honey, you look so funny when you're jealous. Were you worried when you couldn't find me earlier? Hehehe!"

Ji Lingfeng snorted and replied in a low voice, "What's there to be jealous about? Who wouldn't be worried if they lost a hundred or so pounds of meat?"

Ye Cheng: "..."

He was feeling smug and carried on her back when he suddenly rolled his eyes in anger.

That sounds strangely familiar!

"Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

He opened his mouth and gave Ji Lingfeng a light kiss on the shoulder.

"hiss……"

Ji Lingfeng frowned and whispered, "Could you bite a little lighter?"

Two middle-aged women who were taking a walk in the neighborhood couldn't resist their gossipy nature and started chatting freely.

"Look at girls these days, they have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves to bully their own men, wanting to carry them on their backs and kiss them, tsk tsk tsk, it's unbearable to watch."

"What a tragedy! It's obvious that the man is a good-for-nothing. If my son were bullied like this by his daughter-in-law, I would fight with her every day."

Ye Cheng's ears burned as she listened: "Never mind, honey, put me down. People are saying I'm spineless."

"Never mind, we're almost home."

Ji Lingfeng remained calm and composed, his tone completely unwavering, as he carried her on his back and continued walking forward with long strides.

Ye Cheng smiled quietly and hugged Ji Lingfeng even tighter.

Exercise really did induce sleep; when she got home, she started to feel sleepy and yawned frequently.

"Honey, how come you have so much energy? You don't seem tired at all. I'm exhausted after running three kilometers, but I can fall asleep instantly now."

Ji Lingfeng pinched her cheek and smiled slightly: "Then take a shower and get some rest."

Actually, he was also quite tired, after all, he hadn't slept for two days.

Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

Worried that someone would offer to rub her back again, she ran to the bedroom first, leaving a sentence behind her.

"I'll go inside to wash, you can wash outside."

He ran into the room and slammed the door shut.

Ji Lingfeng pursed his lips speechlessly.

My phone started vibrating.

He took out his phone and glanced at it. His expression instantly turned serious, and he quickly walked to the balcony to answer the call.

"Mr. Ji, there's something I need to report to you right now," came the cautious voice of bodyguard Brother Wang from the other end of the line.

Their bodyguards had been following them around the area.

"Speak," Ji Lingfeng said in a clear voice, his intuition telling him it wasn't good news.

"Just now... we found Ms. Zhou's car outside the residential area."

Ji Lingfeng lowered his brows and remained silent.

Brother Wang paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, this was our negligence. We had arranged for two people to keep an eye on things at the hospital, but unexpectedly... something went wrong. I suspect that Miss Zhou changed into a nurse's uniform, and our colleagues there were careless and no one noticed..."

"Okay, I get it."

Ji Lingfeng interrupted him, lowering his voice, "Be careful during this period, until Miss Zhou leaves Shenzhen."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Lingfeng rubbed his forehead, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

After taking a shower, I stepped into the bedroom and saw Ye Cheng lying on her side on the big bed, her long, half-wet hair draped over the back of her neck, already asleep.

A helpless yet indulgent smile appeared on Ji Lingfeng's lips.

He brought a hairdryer from the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bed to dry her hair.

"No, I'm so sleepy."

Ye Cheng groaned softly, too lazy to even open her eyes, and pushed them open with her hand.

"Stop fooling around, let me dry your hair for you," Ji Lingfeng coaxed gently.

He gently ran his fingers through her hair, blowing warm air from the hairdryer onto the back of her neck, his movements careful and meticulous, as if afraid of hurting her.

Ye Cheng seemed to be enjoying herself, and she lay down on the pillow and fell asleep peacefully again.

After drying her hair and hearing her even breathing, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but prop himself up on the bed, lean down, and quietly watch her.

Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint blush of sleepiness. Her slightly curled eyelashes covered her eyelids, her round pink lips were slightly parted, and her smooth, dark chestnut hair covered half of her cheeks, adding a touch of languid beauty.

Ji Lingfeng was captivated by the sight and couldn't resist giving her a light peck on the lips.

He was puzzled as to why he found himself liking this woman more and more the longer he looked at her.

He had seen many people who were prettier than her, but he was particularly fond of her.

He enjoys watching her eat, sleep, laugh, and play with her. Even in a simple and ordinary life together, he feels at peace and content.

After lying down, Ji Lingfeng gently took Ye Cheng's hand and placed it on his chest.

He originally wanted to hold her in his arms while she slept, but he was afraid that making too much movement would disturb her sweet dreams.

Soon, he also felt sleepy, and his eyelids began to droop.

In her drowsy state, Ye Cheng stirred and nestled into his arms.

Her soft, jade-like body, carrying the scent of peach-scented shower gel, aroused his desire, and a flame seemed to ignite in his lower abdomen, quickly heating up.

Half of my sleepiness vanished instantly.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and somewhat uncontrollably, he slid his hand to her waist, slowly caressing it, then slipping inside, moving upwards...

"Snapped!"

Before the sneaky man could react, he was unexpectedly slapped across the cheek.

"..."

Ji Lingfeng shuddered, completely jolted awake by the solid slap.

His hand movements also subconsciously stopped.

Ye Cheng's hand was still on his face when she pinched it again without any politeness, muttering as if in her sleep, "Always so sarcastic, I've wanted to slap you for a long time..."

"..."

Ji Lingfeng winced in pain, but was completely stunned.

The veins on his forehead throbbed violently.

I felt lost and confused.

He usually just teases his wife and doesn't really dislike her, so how did it become sarcastic?

I even dream about slapping him now!

He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Wife, I..."

Ye Cheng ignored him, snuggled closer to him with her eyes closed, and wrapped her arms around his neck, muttering, "Honey, how could my proposal have lost to that annoying woman Tian Yawen... It's so inexplicable..."

Ji Lingfeng touched his slightly burning cheek speechlessly.

It turns out that in his dream, his wife was angry and hitting him because of the project proposal, and she even slapped him across the face.
