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

What happened to the driver?

Ji Lingfeng raised his chin in a haughty manner.

This woman, doesn't she know she has a sharp tongue? She's even pretending to be clueless, and now even her boss is recommending her for a job.

Or should I be a driver?!

Is the CEO of Ji Corporation going to drive for a woman?

Seeing Ye Cheng still feigning innocence and staring blankly at him, Ji Lingfeng became even angrier.

He kept a straight face and looked down at me, saying:

"Ye Cheng, I agreed to the dinner party, picked you up, and even went to your house because I knew your colleagues knew you were getting married. It was all out of a sense of responsibility to give you an explanation, but please don't overstep your boundaries again!"

"I don't like others interfering in my work, and please don't introduce me to any shady jobs."

After saying that, Ji Lingfeng strode towards the guest room.

Ye Cheng was utterly speechless.

The man was upset because Yao Qingqing had mentioned making him her driver.

What a jerk, so obsessed with saving face!

Indeed, it must have hurt this man's pride to have fallen from working for a big company, as his grandfather had described him.

If Grandpa Ji knew, it would probably make him feel even more embarrassed.

"Ji Lingfeng, wait a moment, I have something to say."

Ye Cheng called out to Ji Lingfeng.

The man simply stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around.

"You said."

Ji Lingfeng squeezed out two words through gritted teeth without turning his head.

Ye Cheng straightened her expression and said calmly, "Ji Lingfeng, there are some things I want to clarify."

"First, although we are husband and wife in name only, some facts remain."

For example, we did get our marriage certificate, and we live under the same roof, eating and sleeping together. Aside from sleeping in separate rooms, we're no different from any other married couple.

Ji Lingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

Ye Cheng continued speaking rapidly:

"Secondly, yes! Whether it's renting a place or layoffs, my colleagues at the company do know, but I was just stating a fact."

We don't need to put on a show of wealth; we wouldn't dare say we'd lose our jobs if we worked for a big company.

You almost got called the police by your friend's family for pretending you bought their house. Don't you think it must have been hard for you to fool your grandfather like that?

Ji Lingfeng frowned.

"Also, what does 'neither fish nor fowl' mean? There's no such thing as a noble or lowly job. You might feel that being a driver is shameful."

But I won't be ashamed of my husband driving for others. Of course, no one will force you if you don't want to.

Even if you can't find a job for the time being, I'm willing to take on the responsibility of supporting this family.

Even if one day your friend refuses to rent the house to you at a low price, we can always move to an urban village.

Ji Lingfeng gave a silent, cold laugh.

Woman, keep acting!

A woman who can win over a grandfather's heart is certainly no ordinary woman.

"No matter what, I've already considered our little family as part of myself, and I just want to manage it well."

I don't demand anything in other areas, but I hope we share the same vision on this point; at least that's what Grandpa would want to see.

Upon hearing this, a vein throbbed on Ji Lingfeng's forehead.

"Are you done?"

He frowned, too lazy to watch the woman's act anymore.

"That's it!"

Ye Cheng rattled off her words in one breath, looking a little sullen.

"Oh, wait, I haven't finished yet."

She pursed her lips and said again:

“I noticed that street we passed by yesterday was quite lively at night, with many vendors. I’m planning to set up a stall there after get off work to earn some extra money. If you have time tonight, you can come with me. It would be good to have an extra pair of hands to help.”

Ji Lingfeng: "..."

what? !

Set up a street stall!!

Ji Lingfeng was still seething with anger from being a driver, and now, out of nowhere, he was also getting angry about setting up a street stall.

"Set up your stall if you want, but don't involve me."

He coldly retorted and slammed the door shut in his room.

Is this woman putting on a dramatic act?

Are they putting on a melodramatic show at a street stall?

Then force him to submit to his grandfather, admit that he is the president of the Ji Group, and wait to return to the Ji family mansion to become a young mistress.

If you love to act, go ahead and give it your all.

I'll just watch you perform quietly.

……

During lunchtime, Ye Cheng and Hua Zhixin kept running into the company's gossipmongers at several restaurants.

To get some peace and quiet and have a nice meal, Ye Cheng simply dragged Hua Zhixin along and bought two fast food meals to go to a nearby park.

"Orange, why are you hiding from them? Your penniless husband may have a bad temper, but he can keep those monsters in check with just his face. What are you afraid of!"

Hua Zhixin said with dissatisfaction.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't want my ears to be polluted. Eating in the park is also nice. Look at the beautiful scenery, the air is fresh, and I can even take a nap here after I finish eating."

Ye Cheng sat down in the chair, opened her lunchbox, and began to eat.

Hua Zhixin was feeling listless, so she had no choice but to sit down as well.

After taking only a few bites, she blinked and said again:

"Orange, I still feel like something's off about Ji Lingfeng from your family."

"She's a young comrade being kept by a man, huh? Oh, I see. Let's eat, let's eat."

Ye Cheng continued eating, too lazy to pay attention to her.

Hua Zhixin shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, you're wrong. After I met him yesterday, I felt that it wasn't that simple."

Ye Cheng asked, "What brilliant insights does Miss Hua have now?"

Hua Zhixin said in a serious tone, "He's missing something."

"What's missing?"

Ye Cheng glared at Hua Zhixin.

Hua Zhixin replied earnestly, "It's lacking that gay vibe!"

Ye Cheng: "And then?"

Hua Zhixin squinted her eyes:

"My analysis suggests that Ji Lingfeng's reluctance to share a room in the three rules of the agreement is not because he is not interested in women, but because he has some unspeakable secret that he cannot reveal."

Ye Cheng tilted her head: "Tell me more."

Hua Zhixin cleared her throat and began her analysis:

"Orange, although gay men are not interested in women, they are still very nice to women, and can even become best friends with them."

Look at your husband, not only is he fierce towards women, but he's also constantly on guard. I think he's a normal man.

However, he has an unspeakable secret that makes men feel inferior; the fiercer he appears on the surface, the more fragile he is inside.

Such people often put on a deliberately aloof demeanor, but in reality, they are just protecting their inner vulnerabilities.

Ye Cheng gave a thumbs up:

"You're spouting nonsense with such a straight face, it sounds like you're making a lot of sense, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem right."

As she spoke, the image of the handsome man emerging from the bath that day flashed through Ye Cheng's mind again.

Those well-defined pectoral and abdominal muscles, that physique brimming with male hormones—if Hua Zhixin had seen it, she certainly wouldn't have reached this fresh conclusion today.

Hua Zhixin tapped Ye Cheng on the head with her chopsticks and said, "It's not the kind of unspeakable secret you're thinking of."

Ye Cheng scoffed: "What am I thinking, and what are you trying to say?"

Hua Zhixin moved her face closer to Ye Cheng and lowered her voice:

"It's not that he's incapable, it's that... he's too small!"

As she spoke, she gestured with her fingers in a gossipy manner.

About the length of a lipstick.

Ye Cheng suppressed a laugh: "How do you know?"

Hua Zhixin cleared her throat and said mysteriously:

"Haven't you heard this saying? Apical dominance inhibits the growth of lateral buds."

"puff--"

Ye Cheng almost choked on her food from laughing.

"Miss Hua, it seems your little head is always busy!"

Hua Zhixin nonchalantly picked at her lunchbox:

"Orange, I knew you'd laugh if I said this! While this statement isn't 100% accurate, some netizens have seriously discussed it, and it seems that quite a few tall men have fallen under the spell of this biological principle."

"So, it's possible that Ji Lingfeng's overdeveloped apical buds led to insufficient lateral bud growth, causing him to become sensitive and insecure, afraid to approach women or even have sex?"

Ye Cheng helped Hua Zhixin reach the final conclusion.

Hua Zhixin raised her eyes and gave a sly smile.

"Whether it's right or not, just try it and you'll know!"
