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

Seeing Ji Lingfeng's bitter and resentful expression, and his face growing increasingly grim, Ye Cheng quickly added:

"Don't worry, most of your assets are from before the marriage. I won't cheat you out of your premarital property. You just need to share a tiny bit of what you've already lost."

"Ye~Cheng!"

Ji Lingfeng finally reached his breaking point.

I used to admire her for not being the kind of woman who coveted wealth and status. But now, she never talks about feelings, all she talks about is money. She's practically obsessed with money.

Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed.

She paused for a moment, then continued rambling on with a self-righteous air: "How could I not be your wife, with whom you once shared a marital relationship? You were willing to spend 300,000 on lobsters, but you're so stingy when it comes to splitting the money?"

Very well, she added the word "once".

They've both come to regard the two of them as a thing of the past.

Ji Lingfeng swallowed his anger and said patiently, "Did I say I wanted a divorce? You just found out my identity and you immediately started talking about separating the family property?"

This woman is doing this on purpose, isn't she? She didn't show him the slightest bit of reluctance.

Ye Cheng looked aggrieved: "I just lost my job, why are you being so petty?"

The domineering CEO couldn't stand being called stingy, so he raised an eyebrow and said, "Stingy? Last month I made up an excuse to transfer five million to you, have you forgotten?"

"That bonus? Of course I remember. I originally planned to use it to buy a house for the two of us, but the market was unstable, so I just put it there and haven't touched a penny of it."

“I didn’t tell you to save it to buy a house. That’s your allowance for buying clothes and bags.”

"pocket money?"

Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said weakly, "I'm not very ambitious. I can make do with whatever bags and clothes I have... All I really want is an apartment."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer.

Ji Lingfeng's eyes darkened: "A house, right? Okay, what kind do you want, what location, how big? Do you prefer a large flat like Deep Bay No. 1 or a large villa like Seaside Century? I'll make one call and arrange it for you right away."

The man was so angry he was grinding his teeth, wishing he could immediately throw ten or eight houses in front of her.

Ye Cheng grinned.

Good heavens, is this just a prank to scare her? She's not that greedy.

She blinked, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers: "Actually, it doesn't have to be that expensive. A house like Kim Dae-woo's is just fine."

"Do as you please. I'm asking you, once you have a house, do you no longer care whether you need me or not?"

Ji Lingfeng's forehead veins throbbed from the stimulation.

Is this woman his natural nemesis? She can't seem to go a day without making him angry.

Ye Cheng glanced at him and said, "...That's not how it works. I was just thinking that during our engagement, if we had a fight, I could pack my bag and run away from home to have a place to stay."

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

Do you think my feelings for you are just a passing fancy? That I can easily throw them away?

Ye Cheng turned her face away noncommittally.

She mumbled, her lips trembling, "Who knows? After all, not many men are reliable, let alone those who are rich and powerful like you."

Oh, I let you down, he's also good-looking!

"..."

Ji Lingfeng's brows furrowed with a hint of helplessness: "Alright, do you still remember the necklace I gave you?"

Ye Cheng: "The one that costs eight hundred yuan?"

Of course I remember. She wore it once at a company dinner, and now it's at the bottom of a box.

The man narrowed his eyes. "If I said I bought that necklace for 800 million, would you believe me?"

Ye Cheng's brow twitched, and she blurted out, "Eight hundred million?!"

Ji Lingfeng said calmly, "It's probably worth more than 800 million now."

Ye Cheng gave a disbelieving smirk: "You really think I'm a complete idiot? That I'll believe anything you say?"

"You probably bought a high-quality replica from Taobao, ha, I bet you even deleted the purchase history."

Ji Lingfeng glanced at her disdainfully: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who'd be so bored as to do something like this?"

"..."

Ye Cheng was instantly flustered.

She suddenly remembered something, swayed precariously, and said with a look of horror, "That, that thing, is it called something like Star?"

Ji Lingfeng: "Eternal Radiance Star".

Yes, yes, yes, that's the name Wang Yu mentioned the other day.

A dizzying sensation shot straight to the top of my head.

Recalling the day she went to the party, she casually stuffed the 800 million yuan into her bag and rode a shared bicycle to work.

If you accidentally drop 800 million on the street, or have your bag stolen, 800 million will just be gone!

Ye Cheng became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, her body trembling like a leaf, and her breathing becoming rapid: "I can't take it anymore... someone please help me pinch my philtrum."

"..."

Pinching the philtrum?

Ji Lingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly wrapped his arms around her trembling body and pressed her philtrum hard with his long fingers.

???

"What the hell..." Ye Cheng brushed the man's hand away and looked around sheepishly.

That's an exaggerated way of speaking, bro. He actually tried to pinch me!

Ji Lingfeng was speechless.

The thought that the 800 million necklace might be gone made the woman's heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"That necklace is still in my suitcase. No one's been home these past few days. Could it have been stolen? Oh dear, why didn't you say so sooner? That's eight hundred million! Eight hundred million!!"

Ye Cheng was so anxious that she went crazy and burst into tears.

Tourists in the distance curiously looked towards the sound.

Realizing she had lost her composure, she hurriedly shut up and covered her mouth, then pulled Ji Lingfeng to the corner against the wall.

Raising her terrified eyes, she asked, "Do you think we should report this to the police first?"

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

Seeing the man's expression, as if he were the foolish son of a wealthy landowner, Ye Cheng slapped him in annoyance.

"Have you forgotten that my phone is dead? What are you standing there for? Maybe the stuff has already been stolen and taken to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean."

Ji Lingfeng chuckled and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

He swiped the screen and did a few things, then held the phone out to her, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone:

"Look, it's lying in the safe in the study now."

Ye Cheng gasped for breath and looked closely; a red dot was flashing on the screen.

Ji Lingfeng continued, "This safe has a GPS tracking feature. It will alert me if it's moved and will also track me automatically. Besides the password, only the manufacturer can open it. The password is the date we got our marriage certificate."

The Star of Eternal Glory is a family heirloom symbolizing the status of the young mistress of the Ji family. Although she didn't know it, he naturally had to keep it safe for her.

"Thank God, I was almost scared to death."

Ye Cheng patted her wildly beating heart and gasped for breath.

Ji Lingfeng slowly reached out and grabbed her hand, a half-smile playing on his handsome face:

"Alright, now we can continue talking about dividing the money."

Ye Cheng: ...

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Her face flushed red, and she choked on her own saliva, coughing repeatedly until her stomach refluxed acid and her abdomen ached inexplicably.

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Ji Lingfeng quickly let go of her hand. "What's wrong?"

Ye Cheng rubbed her stomach in discomfort, saying, "I think I was stressed; my stomach is upset from the stress."

Ji Lingfeng paused for a moment: "The restroom is on the right after you turn here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Cheng hunched over, clutched her lower abdomen, and ran away in short, quick steps.

Three minutes later, the woman came out of the bathroom with a worried look on her face.

Ji Lingfeng quickly went to greet him: "So fast? Are you feeling better now?"

Ye Cheng sniffed and grinned, saying, "My stomach hurts, and I can't poop. I don't know if I'm constipated."

"..."

This happens every day.

Ji Lingfeng pressed his temples and glanced at her: "We'll talk about splitting the money later. Let's go to the emergency room first."

Without saying a word, he grabbed her wrist and started walking downstairs.
