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

"Stay away from me! Don't get any funny ideas. I know all your tricks by heart."

Ye Cheng rudely pushed the man away, then quickly retreated to the corner of the sofa, creating distance between them.

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

He did have some tricks up his sleeve, but he was misled by her.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Have you calmed down yet? Once you've calmed down, I'll explain things to you slowly."

Ye Cheng glanced at him and cleared her throat: "I'm asking you, what exactly is your relationship with Zhou Meng'er? Try to give me an answer."

"...As I said, because our families have known each other for many years, we have indeed known each other since childhood, but I have always regarded Zhou Meng'er as a younger sister and have no other feelings for her."

Ji Lingfeng answered calmly, his eyes showing no emotion.

Ye Cheng's lips twitched.

His expression didn't seem like he was lying.

However, this man is becoming increasingly unpredictable. Who knows if it's because he's a good actor?

She raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "You treat her like a younger sister? But she treats you like a lover."

Ji Lingfeng's dark eyes deepened: "I can't control what feelings she has for me."

Ye Cheng snorted.

Zhou Meng'er's love for him was overflowing. How could he not be moved by such a beautiful girl?

Who believes it? !

Just pretend!

She straightened her back and analyzed emphatically: "A young and beautiful heiress, childhood sweethearts, a perfect match, marrying her would save you twenty years of hard work, she's practically perfect, are you an idiot or blind? How can anyone believe you if you say there are no other feelings?"

"..."

Ji Lingfeng was speechless, completely exasperated.

What does it mean to avoid 20 years of hard work?

He's the CEO of the prestigious Ji Group, worth billions. Any woman who marries him could truly avoid countless years of hard work.

It's just this stupid woman in front of you!

He pressed his temples, frowned, and asked, "Are you really going to force me to admit that I like Zhou Meng'er before you're satisfied?"

Ye Cheng pouted and said sourly, "A beautiful girl like a fairy, even I, a woman, can't take my eyes off her. You're a man, how could you not feel anything? You're just being stubborn!"

Ji Lingfeng chuckled silently, his deep, unfathomable eyes fixed on the woman on the sofa.

Ye Cheng felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, which was filled with beautiful peach blossom eyes.

She stared with her almond-shaped eyes and stammered, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Lingfeng's eyes flickered slightly, he smiled calmly, and said slowly, "What should I do? In my eyes, no other woman is as beautiful as you, and I only have feelings for you."

"???"

Ye Cheng's eyes widened, her mind going completely blank as if it had short-circuited.

The man could utter such cheesy love words without batting an eye.

Is that true?

outrageous!!

That's blatantly lying!

Her ears turned red, and she tilted her head angrily, saying, "You...you don't you feel any guilt when you lie?"

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

He crossed his arms, utterly speechless, and said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Sorry, this is the truth, so my conscience doesn't hurt."

"..."

"Besides, whether Zhou Meng'er or other women are pretty or not has nothing to do with me. Are you satisfied with the answer?"

Seeing Ji Lingfeng's serious expression, Ye Cheng's lips twitched.

When men become shameless, they are truly invincible.

Her eyes flickered as she changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. So, she was hospitalized, and you lied about working overtime to be with her, that's true, isn't it!"

Ji Lingfeng nodded slightly, without denying it.

“Zhou Meng’er has congenital heart disease and is physically weak. After she returned to China, she learned about my marriage and was shocked. Uncle Zhou called me, so I went there. After all, she is Zhou’s sister and it was because of me that I should give an explanation.”

"Honey, I admit I lied to you about this. It was my fault. I was afraid you would misunderstand. After all, we got married in a flash because Grandpa arranged it. We didn't have any emotional foundation at all, and... we just got together."

As he spoke, his voice grew increasingly hoarse.

There was also a hint of guilt in his voice.

The main problem is that he concealed his identity.

Ultimately, when he first got the marriage certificate, he treated it as just a task to appease his grandfather. He never expected that he would inexplicably fall into the trap his grandfather had set for him.

Ye Cheng kept staring at him, her reason was so-so, and she didn't seem to be lying.

She pouted and muttered, "If what you said is true, you could have told me beforehand. I'm not a petty person, unless you have something to hide."

He still looked suspicious and paranoid.

Ji Lingfeng frowned, silently looked at her for a few seconds, and then a faint smile appeared on his face: "I have nothing to hide, only one woman."

Ye Cheng's eyelids twitched.

The man narrowed his eyes, his voice deep and magnetic: "That woman, drunk, stole my first kiss and said hurtful things like kissing a piece of pork. My first time and first love were with her, and it seems she doesn't want to take responsibility for me now."

"..."

Ye Cheng was speechless.

That jerk! He actually described her like a scumbag!

She blinked, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and abruptly raised her voice: "Ji Lingfeng, you... I think you're just making things up and trying to confuse the issue! I'll ask you again, why did it take you more than an hour downstairs just now? Does a normal goodbye take that long?"

After saying that, she turned her face away, her mouth full of jealousy.

Ji Lingfeng lowered his eyes and stared at her, saying seriously, "If I tell you the truth, you can't get angry or overthink things."

"Okay! Tell me the truth, no lying!"

"...I spoke with Zhou Meng'er for a few minutes, and she became a little agitated. I was worried about her driving alone, so I took her back to the Zhou family home. I handed her over to Uncle Zhou at the gate and then left."

Ji Lingfeng spoke slowly, observing the woman's expression as he spoke.

Upon hearing the rest, Ye Cheng's face fell.

No wonder, it turns out he was escorting his sister Zhou home.

My heart instantly felt heavy again.

"You're going to get angry just because I'm telling the truth? You just said you wouldn't be petty." Ji Lingfeng said helplessly.

Ye Cheng interrupted him angrily: "I don't care, since you know she has feelings for you, you should avoid her!"

"..."

Ji Lingfeng: "Sending her back was purely out of a sense of responsibility. I was just worried about something happening on the way, and I didn't mean anything else. Besides, she's going abroad in a couple of days."

Ye Cheng bit her lip and said sarcastically, "Worried? If you're so worried, why don't you just go and keep her company every day?"

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

He glanced at her helplessly and pressed his taut temples.

Ye Cheng chuckled smugly: "What? Did I see right through you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly leaned closer, bracing his arms on the cushions and trapping her in the corner of the sofa, instantly closing the distance between them.

The woman trembled with fright.

Ji Lingfeng looked down at her, his voice low and husky: "It seems we can't explain this to each other today. Let's try a different approach."

Ye Cheng shrank back into his arms and asked blankly, "What...do you mean?"

Ji Lingfeng chuckled softly, "They say couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed. Wife, how about... we give it a try?"
