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

Ji Lingfeng opened his eyes in a daze, and Ye Cheng's angry face came into view.

He touched his slightly numb cheek, which still retained warmth, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"How dare you ask? We agreed last night that you wouldn't cross the line, so why are you clinging to me like that?!"

Ji Lingfeng looked down and struggled a couple of times: "Wife, could you move your legs away first? My legs... seem to be numb from being pressed down by you."

"..."

Ye Cheng was confused for a few seconds, then her mind cleared up, and she realized that her legs were tightly clamped onto the man.

I was still half asleep when I woke up. As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself nestled in Ji Lingfeng's arms. I was all red and confused. Without thinking, I reached out and slapped him.

Ye Cheng stiffened, her face flushed, and she hurriedly released the person.

Undeniably, sleeping snuggled up to this man was incredibly comfortable; her body spoke volumes.

"It seems like you're the one who crossed the line..."

Ji Lingfeng looked at her with a half-smile, stretching his limbs as he spoke softly.

Ye Cheng pursed her lips, sat up, and immediately became self-righteous again:

"Where's that glass of water? Ha! You took it, didn't you? You were the one who cheated first, which caused me to accidentally cross the line."

Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled the scene from last night.

He casually picked up the phone from the bedside table, opened the video, and handed it to him: "Take a good look at it yourself. You can skip to the last minute."

Ye Cheng took the phone in a daze, and the unexpected scene made her eyes widen in surprise.

"You're taking pictures of people without their consent again, you pervert..."

In a fit of anger, she skipped to the very end of the video, her ears turning bright red with embarrassment, and the rest of her words caught in her throat.

Ji Lingfeng smiled slightly: "I was just trying to prove my innocence, but I didn't expect you to be so efficient, you didn't even have to wait until midnight."

Ye Cheng: "..."

His face showed not only guilt but also embarrassment.

Look at that smug look on his face, and he's even acting all cocky!

She bit her lip silently, intending to delete the video with lightning speed.

She can deny everything as long as the video is deleted.

Ji Lingfeng seemed to have anticipated this, and with a swift movement of his long arm, he snatched the phone back.

"Do not delete it; preserve the evidence."

Ye Cheng was furious and tried to snatch it, baring her teeth and claws: "What kind of lousy evidence is this? You want to keep it to make fun of me later, right? Delete it! And the one about chasing the pig yesterday, don't think I don't know!"

Ji Lingfeng had long arms and quick movements, and Ye Cheng used all her strength and all her tricks to pull and tug, but in the end she could only watch helplessly as the phone flew over his head, unable to grab it no matter what.

She was so angry she wanted to bite him on the shoulder.

Ji Lingfeng was clearly familiar with his wife's routine. He suddenly tossed his phone to the foot of the bed, rolled over, grabbed her arms, and pinned them to either side of her head.

The unreasonable woman was immediately rendered immobile, and her arrogance was halved.

"You...you took advantage of my injury to bully me, didn't you!"

Ye Cheng stared wide-eyed, her voice a little unsure of herself.

Now that he's in this surrendering posture, it seems like he can do whatever he wants.

Ji Lingfeng looked down at the woman beneath him, his eyes flickering slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Ye Cheng swallowed hard, her gaze fixed on his alluring lips, unable to look away.

How can a grown man have such beautiful lips? I really want to kiss them.

No, I really want to bite it hard.

Ji Lingfeng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he asked in a low, hoarse voice:

"Who's bullying whom here? Honey, don't you care about me at all?"

Ye Cheng curled her lip slightly: "I feel sorry for you, but you go and feel sorry for others?"

"..."

Ji Lingfeng frowned slightly, increasingly feeling that her barbed words were not simply due to physiological reasons.

The vague sense of unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

"Tell me who I feel sorry for." He looked down into her eyes, his voice even more hoarse.

Ye Cheng scoffed. Still playing dumb? You want her to tell you what you've done?

If it weren't for Grandpa Ji's sake, she would have confronted him right now.

Just then, the phone at the foot of the bed vibrated twice.

Ji Lingfeng released his grip, stood up, picked up his phone, glanced at it, and a barely perceptible darkness flashed across his eyes.

He put down his phone, picked up the woman on the bed, and carried her to the bathroom.

"Go wash up first."

Ye Cheng was displeased and twisted her body, saying angrily, "Don't hug me all the time, okay? I'm not crippled!"

The ointment is working very well; the swelling and pain are not as bad as they were yesterday.

"You're working so hard at jumping, so you should practice more when you have time."

Ye Cheng retorted, her neck stiff: "None of your business!"

Ji Lingfeng gently ruffled her hair and coaxed her softly, "Sweetie, I'll carry you out for breakfast later."

Ye Cheng's head was buzzing. The gentler this man was, the more guilty he probably was.

yard.

Ji Lingfeng dialed the number: "What did you find out?"

Bodyguard Wang: "Yes, Mr. Ji, I have something to report to you. The day before yesterday, Miss Zhou went to Yue Club as usual. I checked the surveillance footage again and found that the young mistress also went there half an hour later. Since the two colleagues there are mainly responsible for Miss Zhou's whereabouts, and they are not very familiar with the young mistress..."

Ji Lingfeng's gaze paused slightly, and a gloomy expression appeared on his face.

"Miss Zhou left the club at 9:30 pm and went back to the Zhou residence. Her colleague also left in the car. The young mistress did not come out until 10:30 pm and got into a taxi."

Ji Lingfeng's expression was cold as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You little rascal, what are you doing sneaking around like that!"

Grandpa Ji's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Ji Lingfeng put down his phone: "Grandpa, something came up at the company. We'll go back after breakfast."

He didn't want his grandfather to know too much, since getting involved might only make things worse.

Grandpa Ji chuckled twice: "Don't think Grandpa is stupid. I think it's because the conflict with Chengcheng hasn't been resolved."

Ji Lingfeng frowned and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Grandpa Ji sighed, "Chengcheng threw a little tantrum at you, but didn't make a scene. It's because she's giving me face. This naive girl is just like your grandma. Grandson, talk things out and try to be more considerate of your wife."

"Chengcheng's foot is still injured, so take good care of her when she gets back."

In the car on the way back.

"It's all your fault!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Cheng felt a surge of anger at the thought of possibly missing the Moon Island project.

When she got into the car, she tried to walk by herself, but she was clearly not strong enough, so the man carried her into the car.

I was seething with anger inside.

She glanced at the man's stunning profile and couldn't help but start chattering away.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to the countryside alone for no reason. If I hadn't come to the countryside, I wouldn't have gone to herd piglets. If I hadn't gone to herd piglets, I wouldn't have sprained my ankle. If I hadn't sprained my ankle, I wouldn't have missed the day to go to Moon Island for research. It's all your fault!"

Ji Lingfeng kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, focused on driving: "Apply the medicine properly, and you should be able to walk freely in a few days."

"In a few days? You must know about your Huifeng Moon Island investment project, right? The third phase is cooperating with our company, and they're setting off for Moon Island tomorrow. Who's going to wait for you for a few days?"

Ji Lingfeng smiled slightly: "How about I carry you there?"
