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

Hua Zhixin said indignantly:

"Orange, are you sure your man has nothing to hide from you?"

Ye Cheng was speechless.

They've only been married for less than two months, so I'm not entirely sure how to answer that question.

After hesitating for a moment, a glint flashed in his eyes: "By the way, Zhixin, could this be a new type of scam? It's not difficult to Photoshop a photo these days."

Hua Zhixin said anxiously, "My sixth sense tells me that Xiao Qingmei is up to no good. I've seen this kind of thing happen all the time in novels."

"In my experience, it's more like an online scam."

Ye Cheng disagreed.

Just then, my phone vibrated and I received another text message.

[Quietly take a taxi to Yue Club now, I'll wait for you.]

"Look, your childhood sweetheart asked you to meet her. Would a liar dare to do that?"

"Orange, keep this from your man for now. I'll go with you, and we can ask each other all the questions and see what kind of trouble they're up to."

Without further ado, Hua Zhixin decisively pulled Ye Cheng to hail a taxi.

Upon arrival at the destination, in the lobby of the Yue Club, the club manager was already eagerly awaiting our arrival.

The friends Miss Zhou was going to entertain were, of course, the VIPs of the club.

However, Hua Zhixin was turned away.

The manager wore a cold yet polite smile: "Our Yue Club is a members-only club; non-members are not permitted entry."

Hua Zhixin said irritably, "Then how can my friend come in?"

"This lady was specially invited by our VIP members."

Hua Zhixin rolled her eyes: "You're trying to act all high-class at the bathhouse? Get me a membership card right now—"

I glanced at the price list and instantly lost my confidence.

The pre-order fee for a regular membership is a whopping one million!

This is blatant robbery!

Ye Cheng was also speechless.

Hua Zhixin was at a loss: "Chengzi, why don't I wait for you outside?"

Ye Cheng patted her shoulder: "Zhixin, you go back first. I can handle it myself. I can just take a bath and leave."

"What's there to be unsure about? Just call me."

Hua Zhixin was quite at ease, as her good friend never lost an argument and always had a strong physique even in a physical fight.

Ye Cheng looked around and followed the manager into the club.

The clubhouse is decorated in a high-end, elegant and luxurious style, exuding prestige and taste in every detail.

Upon arriving at the changing room, a staff member greeted me with a brand-new cotton bathrobe.

Upon hearing that she had to take off all her clothes and change first, Ye Cheng couldn't hold back any longer.

"I'm not here to take a bath. Someone invited me to meet here. I'll just chat for a bit and then leave."

"Miss, you must change clothes before entering the VIP spa room, otherwise you will not be able to receive any treatments."

The manager smiled and patiently explained.

Ye Cheng glanced furtively at the expensive-looking artwork on the wall, her face wary: "Are there extra charges for projects here?"

She worried that once she took off her clothes, she would become meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

What if I really encounter a new type of scam?

They lure people in with a string of sweet talk, then empty their pockets before letting them go, leaving them with no way to explain themselves.

After all, it costs a million to become a member in this godforsaken place.

The manager paused for a moment: "Please rest assured, all expenses will be settled through your membership card, so you won't need to pay a single penny."

Ye Cheng secretly recorded the conversation to reassure herself before changing into her bathrobe and following the staff into the spa room.

A delicate fragrance wafts towards you. The room is elegantly decorated, with amber lights and soft candlelight complementing each other. In the center is a circular jacuzzi, its surface shrouded in mist and filled with delicate rose petals.

A fair and petite body was soaking in the pool, its features obscured.

The waiter quickly left, leaving only the two people in the large room.

Ye Cheng stared at the woman in the pool for two seconds, wondering if Ji Lingfeng really had a childhood sweetheart.

Driven by curiosity, she pulled her bathrobe tighter and slowly approached.

Zhou Meng'er had most of her body submerged in the water, revealing her slender shoulders and delicate collarbones. She had a small, pretty face with delicate features and a translucent, pale complexion. Her bright black and white eyes were staring intently at the "ordinary woman" who had entered.

"You're the little one in the photo—"

Ye Cheng almost blurted out the words "childhood sweetheart" without thinking.

The face before me perfectly matched the beautiful girl in my mind, and now she was even more charming and captivating.

If the young boy and girl in the photo are quite pleasing to the eye, then this childhood sweetheart couple as adults can be described as an extremely well-matched pair.

I suddenly felt a bit annoyed.

She collected her thoughts, cleared her throat twice, and got straight to the point: "Who are you? Why are you sending me these kinds of photos?"

Zhou Meng'er remained silent, staring at her in a daze.

They scrutinized every detail, from head to toe, as if they didn't want to miss a single inch.

This ordinary woman, who wasn't even worth her curiosity, turned out to be no great beauty at all, yet she was so lucky to easily win over the man she had loved since childhood.

The image of an ordinary woman had appeared in her mind countless times, but now that she was actually standing in front of her, she still felt a lump in her throat and a tightness in her chest, with jealousy and resentment churning inside her.

Ye Cheng felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at. She didn't pay attention to her footing and slipped into the pool with a "plop," splashing water everywhere.

Zhou Meng'er, who was lost in thought in the pool, was splashed with water all over her face.

Her face darkened. She wiped the water from her face, water droplets still clinging to her eyelashes. Her lips curled slightly, a hint of sarcasm in them: "This place is indeed very expensive. You're in such a hurry to jump in without even taking your clothes off?"

Ye Cheng looked embarrassed: "..."

She had no intention of going into the water at all.

So what if it's expensive? Who cares!

Just as she was about to lift her foot to climb up, a gentle yet firm stream of water surged over her with perfect precision, wave after wave, rhythmically massaging her spine and back, spreading a soothing and invigorating sensation, as if her meridians had been instantly opened.

I spent the whole day hunched over my desk, flipping through documents, and now my shoulders and back are aching all over.

Okay, since I'm already down here, I might as well just stay put for now and loosen up my muscles.

Ye Cheng squinted her eyes and couldn't help but start enjoying herself.

He said calmly and confidently, "Speak quickly, and I'll leave after you're done."

I thought to myself, it's fine to talk slowly, she can listen patiently while giving me a massage.

"I'd also like to see how your figure is."

Zhou Meng'er muttered to herself, her gaze filled with disdain, as she continued to roam freely over Ye Cheng's body, as if trying to see through her bathrobe.

After a moment, he chuckled and said, "His looks are average, and as for his build, he's just a fat guy in my eyes."

After laughing, I felt a shiver run through my heart.

The image of her beloved man willingly carrying this woman on his back flashed through her mind again.

The last time she received the same treatment was when she was twelve years old.

The flames of jealousy leaped up again.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Looking down at herself, she saw her soaked cotton bathrobe clinging to her slightly plump and robust body, looking somewhat awkward and disheveled.

Undeniably, she is thinner and prettier than her.

Did her childhood sweetheart invite her to meet just to make fun of her?

She rolled her eyes: "It seems like none of this is the point. You haven't answered my question yet."

Zhou Meng'er raised her thin eyebrows and gritted her teeth: "Out of curiosity, I just wanted to see what kind of woman Grandpa Ji picked for Brother Ling Feng."
