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

"Brother Ling Feng."

Zhou Meng'er called out softly. Her small face was delicate, her makeup was light, and her waist-length black hair made her skin look like solidified cream. Her whole body was so white that it seemed to glow.

Ye Cheng was once again stunned by the sudden appearance of the beautiful girl, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Undeniably, such a stunning beauty would probably appeal to a man if she were a man.

She slowly turned her head and glanced at the man behind her.

Ji Lingfeng remained expressionless, his deep eyes fixed on her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Can't you see you have guests, Brother Ling Feng?"

Ye Cheng twitched her lips and gave him a mocking look.

His childhood sweetheart and first love have come knocking on his door, yet this man remains completely calm and collected. He's incredibly composed.

Ji Lingfeng checked his phone. Half an hour ago, Brother Wang sent him a message informing him that Zhou Meng'er had driven away from the Zhou family mansion and was heading towards Jingtai Garden.

He originally planned to go find Zhou Meng'er, but unexpectedly, Zhou Meng'er came to him on her own initiative.

But it's clearly not the right time to be here.

"I'll take you back first."

Ji Lingfeng stared at Ye Cheng's face, his voice low, and reached out his hand.

Ye Cheng pushed him away: "Aren't you going to introduce your good sister?"

Ji Lingfeng slightly lowered his brows and tugged at the corner of his lips.

"Her name is Zhou Meng'er. Her grandfather and Zhou family grandfather are old friends."

His answer was somewhat vague, but he knew that Zhou Meng'er had not revealed his identity, otherwise Ye Cheng would not have remained silent.

"Oh, so Zhou is your childhood sweetheart?"

Ye Cheng asked the question knowingly, tilting her head to stare at Ji Lingfeng, and teased him slowly.

"Sister, please don't misunderstand. I'm here to say goodbye to Brother Lingfeng."

Zhou Meng'er took a few steps forward, a stiff smile appearing on her lips, her clear black and white eyes hiding a hint of jealousy.

Ye Cheng glanced at her and coughed twice.

"You called me 'Auntie' last time, but you call me 'Sister' today. Does that mean I'm being demoted in terms of seniority?"

Zhou Meng'er's face fell, and she didn't reply.

Ye Cheng smiled again: "Sister Zhou, you're a guest, please come in and have a seat."

She paused, then seemed to remember something, clapped her hands and raised an eyebrow: "Haha, since I'm bored with my sprained ankle anyway, the three of us can make a table and play cards."

"..."

"..."

The man next to them and the woman opposite them fell silent.

The air froze for a few seconds.

Ye Cheng blinked, her face sincere: "What? You two don't know how to play Happy Landlord? If you don't, I can teach you. It's easy, you'll learn it in no time."

Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but purse his lips and try to smile, then clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips.

Zhou Meng'er stared at Ye Cheng speechlessly, as if she were looking at a monster.

They even doubted whether they had heard correctly.

Last time, those two rivals acted like best friends, eating and getting spa treatments together, wasn't that enough? Today, she's dragging her to play three-player Dou Dizhu (a card game)??

Did this woman manage to pique Ji Lingfeng's interest simply through her ridiculousness and eccentricity?

Suppressing her impatience, she pursed her lips and said, "Sorry, I'm not in the mood for that."

After speaking, he looked up at Ji Lingfeng again.

Ji Lingfeng continued to gaze at the woman beside him, his eyes overflowing with doting affection, as if he hadn't even looked at her properly.

She watched helplessly as the man she longed for lingered on another woman.

The fire of jealousy in my heart suddenly ignited.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Meng'er quickly stepped forward and shook Ji Lingfeng's arm: "Brother Lingfeng, I have something I want to say to you alone."

Ji Lingfeng instinctively pulled his arm away from hers, frowned, and said calmly, "Just say what you have to say here."

He paused, then added, "I also have something to ask you."

Zhou Meng'er tilted her head back, biting her lip and said aggrievedly, "Brother Ling Feng, I'm leaving here next week. Can't I even say goodbye to you alone?"

Ye Cheng glanced at Ji Lingfeng, then at Zhou Meng'er.

The scene at that moment, in her eyes, resembled a couple flirting and teasing each other, extremely ambiguous.

They even look so good together!

My mood, which was not angry at first, suddenly turned very annoyed.

Do you really think I have no temper?

She was furious, so she jumped over and stood between the two of them like a wall.

Zhou Meng'er was stunned.

Her petite figure was immediately blocked by the tall, imposing figure of the man.

"Honey, can you tell me what we didn't finish talking about in the car today?"

Ye Cheng tilted her chin up, her eyes filled with provocation.

His body swayed slightly.

Ji Lingfeng looked down at her feet and frowned slightly: "Aren't you tired? Why don't you go back to the car and rest first?"

Ye Cheng immediately refused: "I'm not tired, no, answer me!"

Ji Lingfeng hesitated, then said, "Don't be stubborn."

He knew all too well that Zhou Meng'er had a heart condition since childhood, and he didn't want to upset her with his words.

“Brother Ling Feng…”

Zhou Meng'er bit her lips until they turned white, then moved her body and turned to another direction.

Ye Cheng, like a rogue, turned around and once again used his strong body to firmly block the two of them.

“Brother Ling Feng, look at her…”

Zhou Meng'er's eyes reddened, her face turned ugly, and she wished she could push the woman in front of her away.

Ji Lingfeng glanced at Zhou Meng'er, reached out to support Ye Cheng, and said in a deep voice, "Stop making a scene, I'll explain to you when we get home."

Ye Cheng sneered, "Go home and try to argue again?"

"I told you two to go upstairs and play cards, but you two insisted on flirting and arguing in front of me?"

"Brother and sister, do you think I, this cripple, am blind?!"

After speaking rapidly, she brushed the man's hand away again.

A strong smell of vinegar wafted between the three of them.

Ji Lingfeng looked down at Ye Cheng, his tense handsome face suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

My wife is acting like a child, throwing a tantrum, and I'm even jealous.

Although he felt wronged by the jealousy, it instantly lifted his spirits.

However, at this moment, the willful woman was imagining a certain scene.

Standing between this handsome man and beautiful woman, she looked like a ridiculous one-legged clown, and it seemed like she was the one ruining the scene.

A dull feeling settled in my chest, and I suddenly felt lost, disappointed, and utterly listless.

She scratched her head in frustration. "My legs are weak. You two keep chatting, I'll take my leave now."

The lame woman stubbornly jumped towards the elevator, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

Of all times, she had to become lame.

She should have turned around gracefully now and walked away with an air of indifference, as if she didn't recognize anyone.

The result was such a pathetic sight!

Ji Lingfeng frowned, strode forward, and with a sudden movement, swept the woman up in his arms.

Ye Cheng stiffened for a moment, then thrashed about in his arms like a dead fish.

"I told you not to hug me all the time, are you cursing me to be lame?!"

She yelled angrily.

Can't we let her leave gracefully?

"I'll take you upstairs and wait for me to come back to apply the medicine."

Ji Lingfeng's tone was low and firm, carrying an unyielding command.

He carried her and strode toward the elevator.

Zhou Meng'er watched the two figures disappear, her slender fingers digging into her palms.

Back home, the woman, who was placed on the sofa and still grumbling, continued to nag.

"Why don't you bring up your first love too? What, aren't you shameless enough?"
