Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 16 How Should I Sleep Tonight?
The two got off the elevator and walked towards the gate of the residential complex, one after the other.
"By the way, Mr. Ji, wait a moment."
Ye Cheng called out to Ji Lingfeng from behind.
The man stopped and turned to look at her.
Ye Cheng looked up and met Ji Lingfeng's gaze.
In the sunlight, the man looked incredibly handsome.
His eyes were beautiful and deep-set, with amber pupils in the sunlight. They were cool and mysterious, and once you met his gaze, you would get the illusion that he was looking at you with affection.
In a daze, Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked away.
She cleared her throat, composed herself, and asked, "Grandpa probably doesn't know you were laid off from your company, does he?"
Ji Lingfeng kept a straight face and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Ye Cheng: "I suggest we keep this from Grandpa for now and not tell him."
Her meaning was clear: only report good news, not bad.
If something is not going well, keep it from the elderly; don't let them worry about it.
Ji Lingfeng responded indifferently.
She played the role of a virtuous and sensible granddaughter-in-law very convincingly!
……
Grandpa Ji beamed with joy when he saw his grandson and granddaughter-in-law standing together.
This was a scene he had always dreamed of seeing.
Now it's really come true, and this old man will have a granddaughter-in-law now!
Grandpa Ji even went to great lengths to carry a basket of food all the way from the countryside.
There were chickens, ducks, fish, various fruits and vegetables, and a large bucket of free-range eggs in an oil jug.
"Grandpa, thank you for your hard work. You came all this way and brought us so much food."
Ye Cheng poured Grandpa Ji a glass of water.
“It’s not hard work. Grandpa has a vegetable garden, a farm, and a fishpond in the countryside. He goes to the fields every day to raise chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep. It’s good exercise for him. He’s very comfortable.”
As he spoke, Grandpa Ji smiled and looked at his granddaughter-in-law.
She has a round, oval face, delicate features, fair and rosy skin, and is tall and sturdy, looking very healthy.
With that physique, having two babies in three years is no problem at all!
"Chengcheng, are you getting used to living here?"
After taking a good look at his granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Ji began to tour the newlyweds' new house.
The Ji family doesn't live in their nice villa in the mountains; instead, they insist on squeezing into this small house of about 100 square meters.
That grandson of his is such a troublemaker!
"Grandpa, everything is fine at home. I'm just an easygoing person. I'll stay wherever I'm at home."
Ye Cheng responded sweetly.
This isn't just empty talk; it's what I truly feel.
Besides, it's such a nice house.
The old, dilapidated apartment my family bought in the suburbs with the compensation money was only about 70 square meters. At that time, we bought the ground floor because we didn't have much money and wanted to save money. It was damp, dark, and noisy.
She is already very content living here.
Grandpa Ji was initially dissatisfied with the accommodation his grandson had arranged for his granddaughter-in-law, but when he heard his granddaughter-in-law repeatedly referring to it as "home," he was immediately delighted.
His grandson lost his parents when he was a teenager. He is resilient, ambitious, and a business prodigy. In just a few years, he expanded his parents' business several times over, but he is still single.
The Ji family's current status in the business world makes it completely unnecessary for them to rely on marriage alliances.
All you need is a good woman who knows how to manage a household, and for her to love and accompany her grandson.
That old man has a good eye for people!
Just as he was feeling pleased, the old man noticed that both the master bedroom and the guest bedroom showed signs of being lived in.
Needless to say, this young couple clearly sleeps in separate rooms!
They don't look like newlyweds at all.
He didn't come with us the day before yesterday because he was worried that the young couple would feel awkward since they had just gotten their marriage certificate. So he wanted them to spend time alone and get to know each other better.
The results of it?
The two of them were like roommates sharing an apartment, one in one room and the other in another.
Could it be that the Ji family's great-grandson will pop out from a crack in the wall?!
Grandpa Ji remained expressionless, glaring at his grandson with a cold, sharp look.
Ji Lingfeng's eyelids twitched, and he turned his head away, pretending not to see it.
Around noon, Ye Cheng started cooking, and Grandpa Ji also went to the kitchen to help.
The grandmother, granddaughter, and daughter-in-law chatted intimately as they picked vegetables.
Grandpa Ji also told us some funny stories about Ji Lingfeng when he was a child.
It is said that when Ji Lingfeng was a child, he once stole an egg when his family wasn't looking and hid it on his bed. At night, he would carefully cover the egg and sleep, hoping to hatch a chick on his own.
When he woke up the next day, he found the bed covered in yellow egg yolk. He was so scared that he cried loudly, shouting that he had crushed the chicks to death.
Ye Cheng laughed so hard she bent over backwards.
Once Grandpa Ji starts talking, he can't stop.
Then he went on and on about how Ji Lingfeng stole his mother's lipstick when he was four years old and painted his face with it, and how he wet his pants when he was five years old because he was so engrossed in watching ants move.
She spilled a whole bunch of embarrassing stories about her grandson when he was a child.
Ji Lingfeng was left standing to the side, his face turning pale and then flushed.
I feel so choked up.
Grandpa really doesn't treat this woman like an outsider!
He brought up all his childhood stories as jokes.
However, this was the first time in his life that he had heard his grandfather and others talk about his childhood.
Looking at the old man's beaming face and enthusiastic expression.
Ji Lingfeng couldn't bear to spoil the old man's fun.
Since his parents' accident, his grandfather often sighed deeply to himself, and he hadn't seen him genuinely smile in over ten years.
This granddaughter-in-law seemed to have inexplicably given her grandfather a shot of adrenaline, and she was full of energy again.
Regardless, from this perspective, a whirlwind marriage with this woman isn't necessarily a bad thing.
If this woman is well-behaved and doesn't cause trouble, he can tolerate her for a while.
For lunch, Ye Cheng used half of the chicken to make chicken soup, the other half to make spicy chicken, and also cooked a dish of pickled fish and two vegetarian dishes.
Simple home-style dishes, each one is colorful, fragrant, and delicious, with just the right flavor.
Grandpa Ji kept praising the food as he ate.
For a long time, the only people at the large dining table in the Ji residence were the grandfather and grandson, staring at each other in silence.
Now, at this small but perfectly sized dining table, there is an additional, well-behaved and clever granddaughter-in-law.
The atmosphere was completely different.
There were people adding rice and serving dishes, chatting casually, and laughing and having a good time.
This is what life should be like, full of warmth and life.
What a home should look like.
Grandpa Ji would occasionally give his grandson a smug look.
Figure out what that means for yourself!
"Chengcheng, Grandpa will stay here for a couple of days this weekend. I'll go back to the countryside next week when you all go to work."
"Grandpa, it's a rare opportunity for you to come all this way, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Ye Cheng served Grandpa another bowl of chicken soup.
Grandpa Ji chuckled and said:
"You young people have your life, and I, an old man, have my life."
Grandpa won't be a third wheel, and besides, there are still many things waiting for me to take care of back in the countryside!
"Grandpa can come anytime he wants."
Ye Cheng knew that many elderly people had become accustomed to life in the countryside and no longer insisted on living there.
Grandpa Ji was overjoyed to see his granddaughter-in-law eating rice from a large bowl and drinking soup with gusto.
Being able to eat is a blessing, and he likes his granddaughter-in-law who can eat and drink a lot!
In the afternoon, Ye Cheng took Grandpa Ji to the mall and bought two sets of pajamas.
Two sets of pure cotton pajamas, after the discount, cost 268 yuan.
After dinner, Ye Cheng went to her room to take a shower.
In the living room, Grandpa Ji, wearing new pajamas, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, showing off to Ji Lingfeng with an air of self-importance.
"My granddaughter-in-law bought it for me!"
"These pajamas are cheap, but they're more comfortable to wear than the ones that cost thousands at home."
Ji Lingfeng sat on the sofa, making no comment.
Grandpa dragged both sets of pajamas to the skies.
It seems that the woman has the old man completely under her control.
However, as long as the old man is happy, that's all that matters.
He had no time to think about anything else; he was preoccupied with how to sleep tonight.
This three-bedroom house has only two bedrooms; the other one has been converted into a study.
However, having more bedrooms is useless; Ji Lingfeng knows that his grandfather will definitely force him to sleep in Ye Cheng's room tonight.
The old man's purpose in coming here was obvious: to supervise him and Ye Cheng sharing a room.
There's no escaping it!
