Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 84 Be more confident, remove the word "seems".
Her question stumped Ji Lingfeng.
He didn't know how much to answer.
Seeing the man hesitate, she turned to Xiao Zhang in the driver's seat and asked, "Sir, how much is the fare to Jingtai Garden?"
Xiao Zhang cleverly replied, "Fifty yuan. It's on my way, so I'll give you a discount."
Ye Cheng's lips twitched.
Fifty is still money!
It only costs three yuan to take the bus back.
"Could you lower the price a bit? You already said it's on my way anyway, is thirty yuan okay?"
Ye Cheng adopted the bargaining stance of someone at a street stall.
Xiao Zhang's eyebrows twitched violently.
The young mistress is so frugal!
Fifty yuan is still too expensive!
A taxi ride from here to Jingtai Garden would cost at least 80 yuan.
Cutting it down to thirty in one go is too ruthless.
"Fifty is the lowest I can accept; the money has already been received."
To complete the performance, Xiao Zhang continued his acting prowess.
"Ah, you paid?" Ye Cheng turned around and glared at Ji Lingfeng.
The man paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"Are you going to sit or not? If not, I'm leaving!"
Seeing that the young mistress was still hesitating, Xiao Zhang deliberately urged her on.
"Wait, who said I wouldn't sit!"
As soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Ye Cheng slipped into the car like an eel.
The money's already spent, so there's no reason not to sit down.
Fearing she might dirty someone else's car and cause trouble, she even put a few tissues on the seat.
Xiao Ji grinned.
Their young mistress is actually quite cute.
They even haggle over the price of their own car!
Ji Lingfeng sat down next to Ye Cheng, a slight smile playing on his lips.
I never expected to be able to ride home in my own car with my wife today; it feels a little different.
He looked up at the rearview mirror in front of him.
Xiao Zhang understood, winked at the president, and then started the car.
Ye Cheng looked around the car and the more she looked, the more she felt that this car was not cheap, and it might even be more expensive than Wang Yu's boyfriend's car.
She couldn't help but ask, "Driver, your car doesn't seem like a typical ride-hailing car."
Xiao Zhang pursed her lips, trying to suppress a laugh.
This car is definitely not an ordinary ride-hailing car; it's a ride-hailing car exclusively for the two of you.
As he drove, he replied, "Yes, I'm not a professional sports car driver. This is our boss's luxury car, and I'm his driver."
"My boss has been busy pursuing his girlfriend lately, so he doesn't need a car after get off work. I just saw that you guys were going the same way, so I gave you a ride to earn some money for cigarettes, hehe."
Xiao Zhang reacted quickly, spouting nonsense in a seemingly serious manner.
Ji Lingfeng heard this, cleared his throat, and looked out of the car with an unnatural expression.
"Oh……"
Ye Cheng took a breath of cold air awkwardly, and subconsciously shifted her position.
She doesn't know whose luxury car she's riding in. If she gets the car dirty, the car wash fee might bankrupt her.
Now, Ye Cheng felt a little uneasy.
She turned her head, her voice trembling as she questioned the man:
"Are you stupid? Why did you call a car like this? It would be a huge problem if it got dirty."
Ji Lingfeng: ...
What big trouble could it be if my wife dirtied our car?
The man's jaw tightened as he tried to evade the question, saying, "It's not my fault, it was...it was him who asked me."
Ji Lingfeng couldn't find an excuse to shift the blame onto Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang put on an innocent face: "President Ji, my surname is Zhang, not Lai!"
He quickly came to his boss's rescue: "It's alright, please sit down. Our boss is a good person. He always lets me earn extra money after get off work, hehe."
While saying this, Xiao Zhang was thinking to himself: I would never dare to use a luxury car worth millions to make extra money!
Ye Cheng wanted to continue berating this stupid man when her lower abdomen suddenly twitched, accompanied by a strong feeling of heaviness and a dull ache.
She frowned, pressed her stomach, rolled her eyes weakly, and said in a tone that was both kind and irritating, "You can't ride in this kind of car anymore, understand? We can't afford to pay for it if something happens. Be more careful!"
If this man were sold off, he'd be happily helping the seller count the money.
Ji Lingfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to refute.
Can't sit on it anymore? He sits on it every day!
He glanced at her and saw that the woman's lips were pale and her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat; she looked to be in considerable pain.
At this point, she was still worried about the car.
"What, you... are you doing it again?" the man couldn't help but ask.
Ye Cheng waved her hand, gritted her teeth, and said with a determined look, "It's okay. Although the pain is unbearable, I have a magic weapon."
Ji Lingfeng was slightly taken aback.
She also carries her menstrual cycle remedy with her at all times?
Ye Cheng took a deep breath, picked up her phone again, put her earphones in, and opened a drama-watching app.
Alright, everything is in place.
I've been busy setting up my stall these past few days and haven't had time to watch the Korean drama she's been watching.
Her favorite male idol is in it.
Now is the perfect time to swipe it up.
Firstly, it can calm the nerves and relieve pain; secondly, it can soothe one's restless girlish heart.
Once she got into binge-watching mode, Ye Cheng had a sweet, doting smile on her face the whole time.
Guan Yu could play chess to treat his bone-scraping wound, and she could certainly watch sweet romance dramas to relieve her pain.
Ji Lingfeng was surprised.
What kind of magic potion is this that works so well? The woman seems to feel much more comfortable.
He secretly glanced at her phone screen out of the corner of his eye.
Upon glancing at him, the man's forehead veins throbbed.
There happened to be a handsome guy on the screen.
He was a young, shirtless man showing off his chest and abs.
The woman stared intently at the screen, her eyes sparkling with happiness, her lips curving upwards; all traces of her earlier pain had vanished.
So this was the magic weapon she was talking about!
This woman just loves looking at handsome men!
Ji Lingfeng curled his lips in disdain and snorted heavily through his nose.
He was utterly speechless.
Has this woman lost her mind? Has she forgotten that she has a husband with stunning good looks?
So many women are secretly watching her husband, and even with a living, breathing man right in front of her, she doesn't look at him!
Ji Lingfeng glanced sideways at the woman beside him, feeling increasingly frustrated, yet too embarrassed to lash out.
Ye Cheng was engrossed in watching a drama while wearing headphones, completely unaware that the man next to her was pouring vinegar into her stomach.
Xiao Zhang noticed in the rearview mirror that the CEO looked like a wronged little wife, and he laughed inwardly.
Sure enough, one thing comes down to another.
If nothing unexpected happens, his CEO will likely end up being henpecked.
Ji Lingfeng couldn't hold back any longer and nudged the woman with his elbow.
Ye Cheng took out an earbud and looked at him: "?"
The man's face fell, and he asked in a cold voice, "Is this the magic weapon you're talking about?"
Ye Cheng nodded with a smile in her eyes: "Yes."
"Ha ha!"
Ji Lingfeng let out two cold laughs, his face full of disdain, and said, "Looking at handsome guys can relieve pain? Is it that effective?"
Ye Cheng put on a bittersweet expression: "Actually, it still hurts, but it's a bittersweet experience, hehe."
"This seems very profound. Could you apply for a patent for it?"
The man retorted sarcastically, a hint of disdain playing on his lips.
Ye Cheng blinked and said with dissatisfaction:
"This isn't just my privilege; it's a benefit for all women. Haven't you heard the saying that handsome men can cure menstrual cramps?"
That makes sense; this man doesn't even know the terminology for a woman's menstrual cycle.
"This is scientifically based. Practice has proven that looking at handsome men during menstruation can promote the secretion of endorphins in the brain. Speaking of endorphins, they are amazing. They are the body's natural pain relievers and can help women distract themselves when they have menstrual cramps. I get through those days every month by watching dramas and looking at handsome men, so I call this my magic weapon. It is indeed very effective!"
The woman finished speaking and proudly waved her phone.
Ji Lingfeng listened, stunned, and twitched his lips: "Hmph, that sounds like it makes a lot of sense."
"Be more confident, and remove the word 'seems'."
"Okay, I'm going to continue stimulating my endorphins."
The woman eagerly picked up her phone and clicked play.
Ji Lingfeng reached out and pressed the pause button on her phone, then pointed at himself with a dark expression.
"That sounds reasonable, but what about me?"
Is he, a man of flesh and blood, really inferior to the cold, handsome men on screen?!
