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

The man, considered the epitome of perfection in five thousand years, left the Ji Group building like a resentful woman.

After getting on the bus, Xiao Zhang drove towards Jingtai Garden as usual.

"Let's go back to the old house."

The "resentful woman" remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking softly.

Returning to Jingtai Garden, his wife wasn't there, and he felt depressed being all alone.

"Received, Mr. Ji."

Xiao Zhang turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Ji family mansion.

late at night.

In the villa's enormous bedroom, the domineering CEO tossed and turned on the two-meter-wide bed, unable to sleep.

He now felt disgusted with the large bed he had slept in for many years.

How could he have remained calm and undisturbed, lying alone on a cold and empty two-meter-wide bed before?

Incredibly, the scene shifted abruptly, and I vaguely imagined the woman sleeping here.

Soft and plump, she smiled charmingly at him, revealing two shallow dimples, and then pouted for a kiss.

……

The next morning.

The domineering CEO woke up from his two-meter-wide bed, reached out and touched it, only to realize that there was no one beside him, and a sense of emptiness and loneliness washed over him again.

The man pursed his lips, picked up his phone from the bedside table, paused when he saw the date on the screen, and seemed to suddenly realize something.

Today is a day off. Don't women love to go shopping? Maybe those two women just planned to have a meal and go shopping on the weekend.

Thinking of that cold message from last night, the gloom in my heart immediately dissipated.

Put down your phone and start your weekend routine in an orderly manner.

I washed up, went downstairs for breakfast, went swimming, then went back to my study to work. At noon, I went to the kitchen to learn how to cook from the chef, and in the afternoon I went to the gym to exercise.

I checked my phone several times during the session, still hoping for something.

My wife didn't send me a single message.

The neglected man is about to become withdrawn again.

This woman has been ignoring me all day; has she forgotten she even has a husband?

My fingers twitched, and several times I wanted to pick up my phone and make a call, but I resisted the urge.

Won't it annoy her if a grown man is all clingy and indecisive?

As Ji Lingfeng pressed his brow bone in a state of confusion, his grandfather called.

"Grandson, where is my granddaughter-in-law? I've tried calling her, but no one answers."

Ji Lingfeng replied listlessly, "She went shopping with her friends."

Grandpa Ji chuckled dryly on the phone: "Hehe, really? Then let me ask you, did you and Chengcheng have a fight?"

Hearing the old man's strange tone, Ji Lingfeng was slightly taken aback, but then pretended to be relaxed: "Grandpa, nothing like that."

"Ha, still shopping? Your wife's come here instead," Grandpa Ji said irritably.

"..."

Ji Lingfeng was speechless this time.

Grandpa Ji sneered, "You brat, you don't even know where your own wife is, and you say there's no conflict!"

"Chengcheng called me this morning to ask for the address and then took a taxi over. Did you bully my granddaughter-in-law?"

"..."

Ji Lingfeng's temples throbbed with veins.

He hasn't bullied her for several days now, and besides, his granddaughter-in-law is fierce; she could kick him off the bed with one kick.

"Grandpa, what's going on?"

Ji Lingfeng's long eyebrows furrowed, now certain that his wife was having a tiff with him.

Grandpa Ji was exasperated: "You're asking me? I should be asking you! Look at you, how can you be a husband? You don't even know where your wife is, or why she's angry!"

Did she say anything?

"After Chengcheng arrived, she was chatting and laughing, and even helped Grandpa feed the pigs and herd the sheep. But she was also eating two big bowls of rice for lunch. Anyway, Grandpa thought it was a bit strange that she came alone, as if she had something on her mind."

Ji Lingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "Grandpa, I'm coming right now."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Ji immediately warned, "You brat, Chengcheng told me not to tell you, so don't let it slip."

Ji Lingfeng's jaw tightened as he pondered what exactly was wrong.

After thinking for a moment, he called bodyguard Brother Wang again: "Has Miss Zhou made any moves these past two days?"

Brother Wang answered truthfully: "President Ji, Miss Zhou has been staying at the Zhou family mansion since she was discharged from the hospital. Apart from shopping and going to Yue Club, she has not done anything else special."

"Investigate further." I had a vague sense of unease.

More than an hour later, Ji Lingfeng drove to the countryside, 80 kilometers away from the Ji residence.

This is a farm where Grandpa Ji can retire and relax. The surrounding ecological environment is excellent, and it is connected to a large farm and orchard behind it. It is usually managed by dedicated people.

The house is a large, single-story building with blue bricks and green tiles. It is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. In the lush courtyard, a winding path paved with pebbles leads to the gate, surrounded by small flowers and grasses.

Grandpa Ji sat at the small stone table at the entrance of the courtyard, drinking tea and waiting.

Ji Lingfeng parked the car, got out, and started walking towards the courtyard.

The old man was furious when he saw his eldest grandson standing straight and calm.

"Look at you! You didn't even panic when your wife got lost! No wonder you had to ask an old man like me to help you find her!"

Ji Lingfeng gave an innocent smile.

"Grandpa, what makes me anxious?"

Are you expecting him to panic and jump onto the roof to remove the tiles?

Grandpa Ji flicked his sleeves and said, "I've already asked Asong to talk to the farm workers who are in charge of the farm. They won't cause you any trouble. If you have any conflicts with Chengcheng, you should resolve them yourself. Don't count on me."

"What about her?"

Ji Lingfeng peered inside and saw Ye Cheng wearing the same light pink dress she had worn when she went out yesterday, hanging on the clothesline in the yard.

Grandpa Ji's lips twitched: "In the backyard field—"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Lingfeng had already strode away.

"You brat, I haven't finished speaking yet," Grandpa Ji muttered to his grandson's retreating back.

At dusk, the pastoral scenery under the afterglow of the setting sun resembles a painting bathed in golden light, tranquil and beautiful.

Ji Lingfeng was deeply attracted by the scenery before him and strolled through the fields, searching for Ye Cheng's figure.

Right now, she's probably lingering somewhere, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Along with that sense of unknown anticipation, a scene appeared in my mind:

A graceful woman, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, leans elegantly against a verdant foliage. Soft gold light falls on her face, and as she turns her head, her charming smile is as lovely as a blooming flower.

The man's eyes flickered, a slight smile played on his lips, and he couldn't help but pick up his phone, ready to capture a photo that would move him.

My steps became lighter...

"Ji-Ling-Feng!"

A rough female voice suddenly pierced the tranquil sky above the countryside.

Ji Lingfeng's heart tightened, and he subconsciously responded with an "Mmm".

I turned my head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Accompanied by two loud squeals, a familiar female voice once again rang out: "Where do you think you're going!"

"..."

As if struck on the head, Ji Lingfeng froze on the spot.

On a distant hillside, his charming, smiling woman, wearing a loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt and baggy shorts, was huffing and puffing as she chased after a piglet.

The man gripped his phone tighter, the beautiful images in his mind shattering into fragments.
