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

There was no time to slip away, so Ye Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "President Yao, this is my husband."

He paused for a moment and then said, "This is our company's Director Yao."

After speaking, Ye Cheng gently nudged Ji Lingfeng with her elbow, signaling him to say hello.

She worried that this fierce, icy man would offend Yao Qingqing again.

With Ji Lingfeng's attitude, he probably wouldn't even get an interview for the driver position.

As expected, the man ignored her gestures, not even giving Yao Qingqing a proper look, and treating everyone around him as if they didn't exist.

He raised his chin and said directly to Ye Cheng, "Let's go home."

Yao Qingqing choked for a moment. How could she, who was always so aloof, have ever been so ignored?

Everyone was stunned, and they all held their breath and continued to watch the drama unfold.

Tian Yawen and Chen Qianru exchanged a glance, both women looking on with schadenfreude.

Ye Cheng, this unemployed young man who rents a place, really doesn't know what's good for him.

Offending Yao Qingqing not only means losing the driver's job, but also jeopardizing Ye Cheng's livelihood.

Surprisingly, Yao Qingqing acted out of character, appearing unconcerned, and said with a sweet laugh:

"So you're Ye Cheng's husband. We were talking about you during our dinner earlier. I heard you're looking for a job, and I happen to need a driver right now. The salary and benefits are pretty good, so you might want to consider it."

Ye Cheng quickly gave Ji Lingfeng a wink.

To everyone's surprise, Ji Lingfeng acted as if he hadn't seen it, coldly rejecting the offer: "No interest."

Yao Qingqing was once again met with a cold shower, and she curled her lips in displeasure.

Ye Cheng coughed twice and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Mr. Yao, I'm sorry, my husband has a cold and isn't feeling well today. Let's go back and discuss it."

Yao Qingqing's gaze remained fixed on Ji Lingfeng as she chuckled and said, "Okay."

After a hasty farewell, Ye Cheng pulled Hua Zhixin along and followed Ji Lingfeng to the parking lot.

If she didn't leave soon, the man's deadly gaze would surely turn on Yao Qingqing.

Regardless, she still needed to earn a living at the company.

The crowd watched them leave, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Ha! Where did this idiot come from, driving a BYD worth only a hundred thousand yuan to show off here?"

Guo Zhen, standing next to Wang Yu, curled his lip in disdain.

Women love to show off and compare themselves to each other.

There are also silent competitions between men.

This young rich kid felt he had lost face in front of that strange man and was secretly annoyed.

Seeing the group get into a cheap BYD, he seized the opportunity to make his presence known.

Finally, he patted his Gucci bag, worth tens of thousands of yuan, and added:

"But the car and the person match well, though the clothes are from some unknown brand, which is cheap!"

Wang Yu glanced at him, snorted, and said in a sour tone:

"Even if someone's husband wears cheap clothes and drives a beat-up car, he's still better than some people who are all show and no substance!"

She was still upset about what happened at the dinner table.

That woman surnamed Tian mocked Guo Zhen for not marrying her, and this cowardly scoundrel didn't even stand up for her!

Guo Zhen was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by his girlfriend, and dared not say anything more.

Tian Yawen chuckled and said, "Her husband lost his job, so it's already pretty good that he can drive a BYD."

"That's not all. Ye Cheng's whirlwind marriage didn't even include a wedding house, and now she's unemployed."

With Ye Cheng's meager salary, the two of them could at most rent a two-bedroom apartment in an urban village.

Who knows, Ye Cheng might have bought this BYD to save face for her husband. This husband of hers, whom she got a bargain from, will be dependent on her for support in no time!

Not wanting to be left out, Chen Qianru chimed in with her own embellishment.

"Really? Ye Cheng has to support her husband?"

Yao Qingqing tossed her hair, looking both curious and somewhat unsatisfied.

"I think Ye Cheng is a pretty cool husband. I'd be quite satisfied with his looks as my driver; he's much more presentable than Xiao Wang."

Everyone knows that to be Yao Qingqing's driver, one must have both good looks and driving skills.

In Yao Qingqing's own words, a good-looking appearance can make people feel happy, which not only nourishes the skin and body but also improves work efficiency.

Tian Yawen blinked: "President Yao, you don't know, everyone was laughing just now!"

Yao Qingqing looked at her suspiciously: "Huh? What are you laughing at?"

Tian Yawen suppressed a laugh and said, "President Yao, have you heard of the 'handsome guy with a mask' meme?"

Yao Qingqing stared wide-eyed, still not having reacted.

Chen Qianru chimed in:

"He looks like Lu Han with a mask on, and Huang Bo without one. Mr. Yao, you need to have a strong mentality to handle this kind of handsome guy!"

Yao Qingqing shrugged and said dismissively:

"What are you talking about? Just based on her looks and figure, she's more than enough to beat all of you women's husbands and boyfriends! You women are just sour grapes!"

Yao Qingqing was equally ruthless in her criticism.

"Yeah, yeah, her husband is one of those rare double-door types, even a blind person could see that he has such a great physique! Even though only half his face is showing, I still think he's incredibly handsome!"

Colleague A was the first to chime in, displaying a blatant sycophancy.

"Yeah, yeah, what masked handsome guy? Ye Cheng's husband was just wearing a mask because he had a cold. He's a handsome man at first glance, haha! I never thought Ye Cheng would lose a grass and find a treasure this time!"

Colleague B was not to be outdone.

"You guys are just idle gossiping. To put it bluntly, what business is it of ours whether someone's husband is good or not!"

Colleague C not only changed her tune to play it safe, but also pretended to criticize, even though she had laughed quite a bit while watching the commotion.

Feeling embarrassed, Tian Yawen said sullenly:

"The main problem is that Ye Cheng is too vain. She bragged at the company that day about finding a tall and handsome husband, but then she didn't dare to come to the dinner party. And coincidentally, she came to pick someone up wearing a mask. Doesn't that make people overthink?"

Chen Qianru chimed in, "Yes! Yes!"

Finally, she rolled her eyes and continued:

"Also, do you guys remember that butcher from West City last year?"

Back then, he sold pork while wearing a mask. Because half of his face looked good, his business was booming, winning over countless housewives and aunties in Shenzhen!

Every day, middle-aged women line up at the pork stall to buy pork and take photos, everyone thinking a handsome pork butcher had appeared in Xicheng District. But look what happened!!

Colleague D also pretended to remember, suppressing a laugh as he continued the conversation:

"I remembered too, and when he took off his mask, he had big buck teeth and sausage lips. The aunties were shocked and cursed the butcher as a fraud who deceived their feelings."

The pork vendor thought he was about to make his debut, but he's back to square one, still wearing a mask while selling pork in Xicheng District!

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Yao Qingqing smiled noncommittally and replied:

"Alright, alright, you bunch of gossipy women, you've digested your food, so go home. You have to go to work tomorrow!"

After everyone had finished watching the excitement, they went home.

……

On the way back.

Hua Zhixin, sitting in the back seat, almost drooled when she saw Ji Lingfeng's stunning profile after he removed his mask in the driver's seat.

In order to spy from all angles, she stretched her neck and used every trick in the book, almost twisting her head off.

Miss Hua, true to her talkative nature, tried to liven up the atmosphere in the car by casually striking up a conversation with Ji Lingfeng, only to be silenced by his sharp retorts.

Ye Cheng mocked Hua Zhixin with her expression:

Miss Hua, don't forget that this is the gay man you said isn't interested in women. If you go and provoke him, aren't you just asking for trouble?

Hua Zhixin gritted her teeth and glared at him resentfully:

How was I supposed to know that your man was like a monster that wanted to eat people?

Ye Cheng pointed to her phone and raised her chin:

Keep following your idol!

Hua Zhixin sullenly curled the corners of her mouth.

After delivering the flowers and returning to Jingtai Garden, it was already 11 o'clock.

Back home, Ye Cheng noticed the man was still sullen, fearing that Hua Zhixin had upset him again, and teased him:

"Don't mind me, my friend's nickname is Big Mouth Flower. She's a bit of a chatterbox. She accidentally let slip that I got married in a flash."

Ji Lingfeng raised an eyebrow and said in a cool tone, "It seems that people in your company know quite a bit about my affairs."

The implication is that Ye Cheng is also a smart aleck.

Ye Cheng was taken aback upon hearing this.
