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

Ye Cheng chuckled twice: "Miss Hua, your idea is quite bold."

"You two are a real married couple. This kind of thing is as normal as eating and sleeping between husband and wife. Do you need to be so bold?"

Hua Zhixin pouted, looking completely unconcerned.

Ye Cheng rolled her eyes at Hua Zhixin and said:

"They agreed on three rules before getting their marriage certificate, so I can't just shamelessly make those kinds of demands again!"

"Who told you to make demands? Flirt! Understand?"

Hua Zhixin looked disgusted.

Ye Cheng blinked: "Flirt? How do I flirt?"

"Do I need to teach you? Orange, haven't you learned enough from TV dramas? I bet all those boyfriends you've had have been a waste of time!"

Hua Zhixin looked at her friend with a disappointed expression, feeling anxious for her friend.

Ye Cheng said in a pleasant but irritable tone:

"Miss Hua, don't you know me? Those dozen so-called boyfriends of mine were just there to make up the numbers."

The longest blind dates lasted two months, the shortest five days, and the rest were like a continuous stream of banquets. Before we could even take a couple of bites of food, my mom scared us away with her exorbitant demands.

They demand exorbitant dowries and want to buy my brother a car. Who would dare to marry into the same family?

To put it bluntly, I've never even experienced kissing before in my entire life!

At this point, Ye Cheng recalled the scene of being "wall-pinned" by Ji Lingfeng that day.

My teeth are a little itchy again.

Because she had no experience, she lost her composure and was tricked by the man.

"Oh right! In my rush, I completely forgot that our Orange Sister still has room for development."

Hua Zhixin rubbed her throbbing temples and began to patiently teach:

"For example, wearing a subtly sexy nightgown and spraying on some irresistible perfume,

Find a suitable opportunity to appear, and then engage in some ambiguous and flirtatious interactions; no normal man could resist.

Ye Cheng imagined the scene for a moment, then asked:

"My dear, you said you tried it, what if... I mean, what if he's not only a normal man?"

And...and it's developing normally, so what should we do?

Hua Zhixin raised an eyebrow: "What else can we do? It's just a natural progression. We'll be a happy and normal couple from now on!"

And then he added, "You're not losing out on a guy this handsome!"

Seeing her friend still standing there in a daze, Hua Zhixin asked, "What are you standing there for? Do you have any more questions?"

Ye Cheng said blankly, "Zhi Xin, there's something I haven't told you."

"What's the matter?"

Ye Cheng swallowed hard and said, "Actually, I have met him frankly."

"What?"

This time, it was Hua Zhixin's turn to be stunned.

What does it mean to have been completely honest with each other?

Ye Cheng's face flushed slightly.

She glanced around and lowered her voice, saying:

It's a little embarrassing to talk about, but actually, something really outrageous happened shortly after I moved to Jingtai Garden.

Hua Zhixin bit her chopsticks, her eyes wide with gossip as she waited for the next installment.

"That day, I was taking a shower and when I got out of the bathtub, my foot slipped and I ended up stuck in the toilet by sheer coincidence and perfect timing. It took that man quite a while to free me."

As she said this, Ye Cheng's gluteus maximus muscles twitched unconsciously.

This time, it was Hua Zhixin's turn to imagine the whole story.

"You mean, that man saw you without clothes on?"

Hua Zhixin exclaimed in surprise.

People in the distance heard the noise and looked over.

"Oh, Miss, could you please keep your voice down!"

Ye Cheng was terrified of this big-mouthed woman and really wanted to just grab her and put two strips of tape over her mouth.

"It wasn't that he was completely naked. He gave me his shirt to wear as soon as I entered the bathroom, and he turned off the lights at first. At most... at most I only saw about 10 or 20 percent of it."

Ye Cheng explained, sounding somewhat uncertain.

Hua Zhixin blinked, then suddenly clicked her tongue twice, looking at Ye Cheng with an expression of admiration.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Orange, I must say, that move of yours is amazing! You charmed me without me even realizing it, I would never have thought of that!"

Ye Cheng scolded playfully:

"What are you talking about! What are you flirting with? I got my butt stuck in the toilet, not my head. I was so embarrassed that day I just wanted to disappear from the face of the earth!"

Hua Zhixin blinked her eyes, eagerly asking, "And then?"

Ye Cheng shrugged: "And then there was nothing more."

"what--"

Hua Zhixin blinked incredulously, a hint of disappointment on her face.

"A man and a woman alone together, and things have gone like this, yet nothing's happened. That doesn't seem right!"

Ye Cheng gave an awkward smile:

"So what's the point of even trying? Maybe I'm just not their type at all, so why bother with all that nonsense?"

Hua Zhixin stroked her chin earnestly and continued her analysis:

"That's not necessarily true. After all, it's a toilet and a latrine, so the smell and atmosphere are much worse."

Orange, I suggest you try again, at least to rule out my side shoot theory.

Ye Cheng stretched lazily, unconcerned:

"Whether it's a side shoot or a top shoot, I'd rather think about how to make money."

Hua Zhixin chuckled cheekily:

"Orange, speaking of which, how did you manage to resist? If it were me, with such a handsome husband at home..."

I would absolutely be tempted by his looks and force myself on him, without caring about any rules or regulations!

Ye Cheng rolled her eyes at her: "Of course, your nickname 'lovestruck' isn't just for show!"

"By the way, Zhixin, I have something serious to tell you. I'm thinking of setting up a street stall after work."

"What! Setting up a street stall?"

The topic changed so quickly that Hua Zhixin paused, the spoon she was about to put to her lips, and looked at Ye Cheng in surprise.

"Ok!"

Hua Zhixin blinked: "When you have free time, you should just do your part-time job as usual. Why bother setting up a street stall?"

Ye Cheng shook her head:

"That's still different. It's hard to coordinate the hours when doing part-time work, but it's different when you set up a street stall. You're in control of your own time."

If the company requires overtime, we can set up the stall later or not at all. We set up every day when we have free time, and if business is good, we can earn more than with a part-time job!

"Orange, setting up a street stall isn't as simple as it seems; it's quite hard work. I have a classmate who set up a stall for a month, didn't make any money, and lost a lot of weight!"

Ye Cheng raised her eyebrows and said with a grin:

"That's great. I didn't make any money, but at least I lost weight. It suits me perfectly."

Hua Zhixin rolled her eyes:

"That sounds reasonable. Why don't you give it a try? Treat street vending as a way to lose weight. Making money would be a pleasant surprise."

I'd rather stay home and binge-watch TV shows, or chat with a handsome guy.

Ye Cheng leaned back in her chair and sighed:

“I’m different from you; you, as an only child, can’t understand this.”

Before she got married, she stayed at the Ye family's house and suffered their disdain; now that she's married, she still has no fixed abode.

"If they get upset one day and refuse to let me stay, I'll have to scramble to find a place to live. So I need to find ways to make more money while I'm still young."

Hua Zhixin pouted and sighed:

"Oh, poor Orange, I thought you'd finally gotten rid of your sexist mother and your brother who lives off his sister."

She married a good husband with a good job, a house, and a car, but before she could even enjoy her good life, she had to go sell things at a street stall.

Ye Cheng clenched his fist and laughed:

"That being said, I'm now bursting with the energy to make money, and I'm incredibly motivated!"

Hua Zhixin extended her fist and bumped it against her friend's fist:

"Then I wish you great success in your street vending venture, booming business, and lots of money!"

After chatting, with some time to spare before work, the two decided to close their eyes and rest for a while.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind the green belt:

"I have to sneak around every time I go out to eat. I really don't know when I can do it openly!"
