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

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, men and women are equal now."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:

"Then let's do it this way, keep it simple, let's play rock-paper-scissors, one round to decide the winner, the winner sleeps in the bed, the loser sleeps on the floor, everyone depends on luck, that's the fairest way."

Ji Lingfeng frowned.

This woman really has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

He ignored her and spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "How childish."

After saying that, he was about to go change the blankets when Ye Cheng stopped him.

"Come on, come on, stop hesitating, let's settle this in one round."

what!

This woman actually called him nagging?

You should know that, apart from his grandfather, no one around him dares to speak to President Ji like that.

Ji Lingfeng, his handsome face cold, looked down at the woman, his eyes practically spitting out knives.

The woman remained calm, but suddenly burst out laughing.

"Mr. Ji, no wonder Grandpa said his grandson can't find a girlfriend. Your sharp eyes are piercing every second, scaring all the women away!"

Ji Lingfeng: ...

"preparation--"

Ye Cheng ignored him and gave the command directly.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Ji Lingfeng was bewildered, and upon hearing the command, he vaguely followed along with the hand gestures.

Ye Cheng produced a stone.

Ji Lingfeng produced the cloth.

The man won.

Ye Cheng shrugged and said, "A bet's a bet. The bed is yours, and the floor is mine."

After saying that, she plopped down on the floor mat, settled into a comfortable position, and started scrolling through her phone.

Seeing Ji Lingfeng standing there with a tense expression, still in a daze.

She gestured to him.

"Mr. Ji, please don't worry about me, please make yourself at home."

The woman's generous demeanor made Ji Lingfeng feel somewhat reserved.

I'm not insisting on that anymore, as long as we sleep separately and don't disturb each other.

He straightened his expression, strode into the bathroom, and went to take a shower.

In the other bedroom, Grandpa Ji was rubbing his hands together, secretly pleased with himself.

When he saw his grandson go into his granddaughter-in-law's room and close the door, he was in a particularly good mood and even hummed a little tune.

That energy was more effective than eating a thousand-year-old ginseng.

A lone man and a lonely woman, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, sharing a room—the old man refused to believe that nothing would go wrong.

Once the spark was ignited, the rest would fall into place naturally.

There's hope for a grandchild!

Ji Lingfeng learned his lesson today; after taking a shower, he immediately put on a bathrobe and wrapped himself up completely.

I was careless the day before yesterday; I can't let that woman take advantage of me again today.

Ye Cheng glanced at the man who came out of the bathroom, wrapped up like a dumpling, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

It seems this man knows he has a good figure and is worried she might still be interested, so he's preventing her from peeking!

"Mr. Ji, do you snore when you sleep?"

Just as Ji Lingfeng reached the bedside, he was suddenly asked a question by Ye Cheng.

After hearing Grandpa Ji's revelation today, Ye Cheng was surprised to find that this seemingly icy man had such an interesting childhood. She found it fascinating and wanted to tease him.

It can also alleviate the awkward atmosphere of everyone sharing a room.

Ji Lingfeng tugged at the collar of his bathrobe, cleared his throat, and replied casually, "Asleep, I don't know."

Ye Cheng suppressed a laugh and said, "Then I'll tell you tomorrow."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Oh, by the way, I'm a very sound sleeper, so I might not hear you. If you snore, don't worry, it won't bother me."

Ji Lingfeng curled the corners of his lips but didn't reply.

He took out his laptop, ready to check his emails.

Thinking about his work, Ye Cheng asked again:

"Mr. Ji, what kind of work do you do? I'll keep an eye out for you and see if there are any suitable positions in our company."

Ji Lingfeng stared at the screen, replying without looking up:

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll take care of finding a job myself."

Ye Cheng didn't say anything more.

Although this man is handsome, he has a cold and foul temper and is extremely proud.

He was probably just too embarrassed to bother her.

However, judging from his calm demeanor, he should be able to find a new job soon.

Ye Cheng picked up her phone, put on her headphones, and started watching the show.

Ji Lingfeng also focused on processing the emails.

I could hear women laughing as they watched TV shows from time to time.

Ye Cheng also realized that watching the show might disturb Ji Lingfeng, so when she couldn't help it, she would cover her mouth and hide under the covers to giggle.

She is indeed a carefree, easygoing, and worry-free person, a natural optimist.

This kind of personality has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that even though she lived in a family that favored sons over daughters, she didn't become a doormat because of her parents' neglect and disdain. She ate when she was supposed to eat, slept when she was supposed to sleep, and laughed when she was supposed to laugh.

The bad thing is that because of her Buddhist-like mentality, she has no sense of urgency about her marriage.

It wasn't until her younger brother, who is five years younger than her, started dating and had a girlfriend he was talking about getting married that she started going on blind dates, which dragged on until she became an older single woman.

……

"Snapped!"

Lai Yulan slapped Ye Cheng hard across the face, baring her teeth and cursing:

"You good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat! Look how fat you've become!"

"I...I only gained five pounds!" Ye Cheng said, covering her aching face with a pitiful expression.

Lai Yulan, in a fierce and aggressive manner, slapped her again with her backhand, her mean and sharp face right in front of her:

"How dare you say that! You've been with a dozen men and still can't get married, now even a poor guy like Cheng Yuan doesn't want you!"

"You've already called off the engagement, you've completely disgraced yourself! This slap is on behalf of your deadbeat father!"

Ye Cheng was stunned: "Mom... how did you know!"

Suddenly, her younger brother, Ye Sheng, appeared behind Lai Yulan and said angrily:

"Mom, all the relatives are blocking the door. They're calling Ye Cheng a jinx who's destined to be widowed, a disgrace to the Ye family for eight generations. All the neighbors have come out to see this spectacle!"

Just then, all the aunts and grandmothers rushed in, and the eldest aunt, who was leading the group, shouted sternly, "Take her out and parade her through the streets!"

Second Aunt held a large cardboard sign high in her hand, gesturing wildly as if she were about to hang it around Ye Cheng's neck.

The sign prominently displayed three large characters:

Old hag!

Are they now parading unmarried women through the streets?!

Ye Cheng had never seen anything like this before. Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she clutched her neck tightly with both hands, crying out in terror:

"No! Don't drag me through the streets! I'm not an old maid!"

She rushed out of the door in a panic, only to find the street full of onlookers pointing and whispering about her.

Her aunts and uncles chased after her relentlessly, shouting and yelling.

They were about to catch up.

……

After what seemed like an eternity, Ji Lingfeng finished his work and realized it was getting late.

When he starts working, he becomes extremely focused and completely absorbed in his work.

He stretched his neck and arms, then suddenly remembered that there was a woman sleeping in the room.

He turned his head to look at the makeshift bed next to him.

The woman's phone lay beside her pillow, a TV show playing on the screen, and her earphones were still plugged in.

A steady snoring sound came from his nose.

That woman actually fell asleep!

And he was sleeping very soundly.

The blanket was kicked to one side, and the person lay sprawled out, looking completely disheveled.

Ji Lingfeng frowned.

Why is this woman's eating and sleeping posture so unsightly!
