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

Cheng Yuan said hesitantly:

"Well, the money isn't with me... it's with my mom. She said she'll give it to me in a while."

He really is a complete mama's boy!

Ye Cheng coldly sneered, "Your mother wouldn't have used my renovation money to give as betrothal gifts to other families, would she?"

"Cheng Yuan, let me tell you, I have all the transfer records here, so don't even think about taking advantage of me!"

Cheng Yuan hurriedly said, "No...nothing like that! I will definitely pay you back, it'll just be a little late. Ye Cheng, give me some time, I'll contact you later."

After saying that, the person on the other end hurriedly hung up the phone.

Ye Cheng was so angry when she heard the phone disconnect, she gritted her teeth.

That shameless family! Luckily I didn't marry into their family, or I would have regretted it to death!

We'll have to find another way to arrange the bride price, otherwise, given my mom's temper, she'll really cause a huge uproar.

Ye Cheng yawned several times in a row. After a long day of running around, she was exhausted and sleepy and just wanted to lie down and get a good night's sleep.

I have to go to work tomorrow, I'll talk about it after I wake up.

Ye Cheng tossed her phone onto the bedside table, sprawled out on the bed, and pulled the covers over her head to sleep.

Suddenly I have my own home, a spacious and bright house, a comfortable and soft bed; it all feels like a dream.

Oh, and she also has a young, handsome, and cheap husband.

Ye Cheng smiled contentedly, chuckled twice, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

……

In the evening, Ji Lingfeng hosted a banquet at the hotel to welcome his European clients.

Today, the two sides signed a contract worth tens of billions of dollars. During the banquet, they drank a lot of red wine and the socializing ended after 10 p.m.

As soon as he got on the bus, he felt dizzy and leaned back in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Kim Dae-woo asked cautiously:

"Mr. Ji, shall we go back to the villa or to Jingtai Garden now?"

Normally, there would be no need to ask, but today is different. Young Master Ji got his marriage certificate today and is no longer single.

If I don't remind my master, he'll be the one to take the blame if something goes wrong!

Making a living alongside a CEO isn't easy; saying too much can cause trouble, while saying too little can lead to being blamed.

Reminded by Jin Dayu, Ji Lingfeng held his forehead and frowned deeply.

Believe it or not, he really did forget!

Having been single since birth for twenty-six years, Ji Lingfeng devoted himself entirely to the Ji family business and never had the slightest interest in a woman.

He didn't care about the socialites and heiresses who were all eager to marry him, let alone a cheap wife who was forced into a whirlwind marriage by his grandfather.

That single woman in her late thirties who's dated a dozen men but still can't get married!

Thinking of this, Ji Lingfeng felt a surge of resentment.

There's nowhere to post it yet!

He suppressed his anger and glared at Kim Daewoo with a sharp, piercing look.

Startled, Kim Dae-woo shuddered and shut his mouth with an innocent expression.

He kindly reminded his master, "Have you made a mistake again?"

Ji Lingfeng glanced at his watch, rubbed his temples, and said, "Let's go to Jingtai Garden."

Today is the first day of our marriage. If Grandpa finds out that I'm not living with my granddaughter-in-law, he'll nag me until my ears are calloused.

Half an hour later, Ji Lingfeng entered apartment 1901 in building 3 of Jingtai Garden.

He felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet. After entering the house, he saw that the guest bedroom door was closed and the master bedroom door was open, so he went straight in.

I took a hot shower and went straight to sleep.

Ji Lingfeng didn't know how long he had slept, but he felt dizzy and thirsty, so he groggily got up and went outside to find water.

The lights were off inside, and he was still half asleep. He groped his way into the kitchen when a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes, startling him so much that he screamed:

"who!"

I immediately became fully awake.

When the wall light was turned on, Ji Lingfeng froze on the spot.

A disheveled woman stared blankly at herself, holding a carton of milk in her left hand, a half-eaten piece of bread in her right, and a mouthful of food she hadn't had time to swallow.

He rubbed his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's the woman he just got married to yesterday.

Ye Cheng raised her hand, waved the bread in it, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Uh... I just woke up because I was hungry, so I got up to find something to eat."

"I moved here temporarily yesterday, and just had a bowl of instant noodles for dinner." She then added, her face full of awkward smiles.

She woke up in the middle of the night because she was really hungry.

Ye Cheng, a foodie, has a quirk: she can't sleep soundly when she's hungry. So she got up and rummaged through the refrigerator for the milk and bread she bought at the supermarket yesterday.

Afraid of making noise and disturbing the homeowner, they ate in the dark in the kitchen.

She paused, blinked, and asked again:

"Mr. Ji, did I scare you?"

Ji Lingfeng, with a sullen and handsome face, ignored her and opened a bottle of mineral water, tilting his head back to drink it.

He thought to himself, "No wonder she was scared. This woman is really strange. She actually got up to eat in the middle of the night."

She doesn't manage her figure at all; no wonder she's so chubby.

He drank water while glancing sideways at Ye Cheng.

The woman wasn't wearing any of those messy, revealing pajamas; instead, she wore loose-fitting loungewear that covered her body completely.

Although they were husband and wife in name, he suggested sleeping in separate rooms. He didn't need to be so direct; what he meant was clear to all adults.

He was quite pleased that a woman who knew how to avoid suspicion while living alone with a man and a woman in the same room was someone he could be alone with.

Of course, he had absolutely no interest in her figure.

After finishing his water, Ji Lingfeng turned and left.

He took two steps, then stopped and turned around.

Looking down at Ye Cheng:

"By the way, you call me by my name directly in front of Grandpa, calling me Mr. Ji all the time. If Grandpa hears that, he'll feel too formal."

Ye Cheng nodded and said "Mm".

"Also, we're currently in a trial marriage, keeping it a secret from the public and trying to keep a low profile. I don't want any more complications."

Don't cause him trouble during our six-month marriage.

Ye Cheng nodded and said "Mmm" again.

We're just getting by anyway, why make a big fuss about it everywhere?

"I wanted to ask what's going on with this house, but the security guard said the owner's surname isn't Ji, and he's preventing me from entering today!"

Ji Lingfeng made a casual remark: "I bought the house with a friend, but the ownership hasn't been transferred yet."

"Oh!"

Ye Cheng suddenly realized.

No wonder, I heard that buying a house that has been owned for less than five years incurs a considerable amount of tax, so many people are now using delayed transfer of ownership to save on taxes.

She then tentatively asked, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask today, should we split the household expenses equally?"

"No need. Although my salary is not high, I can barely make ends meet."

Ji Lingfeng interrupted her directly, saying that calculating this amount of money was too much trouble for him.

Six months later, everyone parted ways.

"From now on, I'll take care of all the cooking and cleaning at home," Ye Cheng volunteered.

She felt bad if she didn't take on some work since she was eating and living there for free.

Ji Lingfeng replied calmly, "You decide what to do."

After Ye Cheng finished speaking, she pointed in the direction of the second bedroom: "Well, I'll go back to my room first."

He had only taken a few steps when Ji Lingfeng called him back.

"We'll switch rooms tomorrow; you'll move to the master bedroom."

Ye Cheng paused slightly, then waved her hands repeatedly:

"No need, no need. You bought this house. I'll just stay in the second bedroom. It's fine."

Ji Lingfeng glanced at Ye Cheng and said expressionlessly:

"Don't overthink it. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, which is more convenient for a woman like you."

Ye Cheng suddenly realized what was going on and was about to thank him when the man turned and left with a stern face after saying those words.

She pursed her lips at Ji Lingfeng's retreating figure.

Although the man was handsome, he always had a sour face, giving off an unapproachable vibe.

Is he afraid that every woman in the world will fall in love with him?
