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

"you?"

Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile in her eyes.

"Men can too, the principle is the same. Endorphins aren't necessarily used for pain relief; they're like happy hormones, they can make you feel good. But men, of course, need to see beautiful women to stimulate their secretion..."

The woman's voice trailed off at this point.

She paused and gave an awkward smile: "Hehe, of course you can watch whatever you want, according to your own preferences..."

It seems uncertain whether this man needs to look at beautiful women or handsome men.

"..."

Ji Lingfeng glanced at her with a pained expression, then rubbed his forehead, his face full of utter helplessness.

This woman is sometimes as shrewd as a human, and sometimes as stupid as a pig!

You're ignoring the handsome guy right in front of you, while she's rambling on and on!

The man smirked angrily and turned his head to the side.

"Alright, you can slowly stimulate your happy hormones, the more stimulating!"

Ye Cheng tilted her head, looking at the man's little expression, and suddenly chuckled through her nose, teasingly saying:

"Ji Lingfeng, I've noticed you've been acting strangely lately. You're behaving like a childish elementary school student. You wouldn't happen to... have a crush on me, would you?"

Xiao Zhang in the front seat inwardly cheered, thinking how spot-on the young mistress's comment was.

Ji Lingfeng's temples throbbed.

What unrequited love!

What elementary school student!

He is the unapproachable CEO of the Ji Group, a socialite and heiress in high society, and women who want to get with him are practically flocking to him.

This ordinary woman actually said he had a crush on her?

Where does her confidence come from?!

"Aren't you overthinking this?" The man forced a cold laugh.

Xiao Zhang sighed silently to himself.

Just accept our arrogant and domineering CEO!

You clearly have a crush on the young mistress!

"I think I'm overthinking it, but you always seem to be picking on me. What did I do to you?"

Ye Cheng questioned.

Ji Lingfeng was stunned for a long time before he finally thought of something.

He raised an eyebrow, his face radiating self-righteousness: "I'm asking you, what do you mean by calling me 'the guy next door' in your WeChat contacts?"

The guy next door?

The man is actually sulking about this?

He's really big, but has a petty mind.

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Is there something wrong with my note? We live under the same roof, we live and fight together, aren't you my good comrade living next door?"

After a pause, she said in a serious tone, "Hey, comrade next door, you can also add 'comrade next door' to my contact information. I don't mind at all."

"..."

Ji Lingfeng choked, staring at the woman, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Listening to the CEO and his wife bickering in the back seat of the car, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Their CEO's life is quite colorful these days; it seems he's completely under his mistress's thumb.

It's a real shame that Kim Dae-woo didn't get to see such a spectacular scene.

Xiao Zhang was suppressing a laugh, his shoulders twitching, and his hands on the steering wheel were trembling.

The car swerved and twisted on the road, and almost ran a red light.

"Driver, could you please drive more carefully?"

Ye Cheng raised her voice, intending to remind the driver.

This young driver is quite gossipy; he kept laughing while eavesdropping on their conversation.

Making extra money by driving his boss's luxury car—if something goes wrong, he'll be in deep trouble.

She didn't want to get into trouble.

Xiao Zhang cleared his throat and replied, "Received, received. I humbly accept the answer. From now on, I will drive with all my heart, just like I would when I'm dating my wife."

Xiao Zhang felt wonderful today. If he could pick up and drop off the CEO and his wife every day, how happy he would be at work!

Ye Cheng turned her head again and stretched out her hand to Ji Lingfeng: "Give me your phone."

The man's eyes widened: "What?"

Ye Cheng glared back at him: "I'll add 'comrade next door' to your contact list, so neither of us owes the other anything."

"Need not!"

The man turned his head to one side.

The woman unceremoniously reached into the man's pocket.

"Don't be so polite with me, come on, I'll change your nickname!"

The man stiffened, feeling both itchy and uncomfortable from the woman's touch.

"It itches! You...you stop!"

The man dodged the woman's hand, his ear tips turning red.

The woman persisted: "Itchy? If you're ticklish, then behave yourself and take it out."

"I've found that bickering with you is quite effective at relieving pain; my stomach feels much better now."

……

Kim Dae-woo was strolling down the street while reading a novel.

After waiting another half hour, Xiao Zhang drove the CEO and his wife back to Jingtai Garden. He wouldn't have anything else to do today and could leave work early.

These days, Jin Dayu spends all his free time reading novels, and he seems to be getting more and more hooked, unable to stop.

The sweet and romantic plot of the novel stirred the heart of a straight, unyielding man, making him yearn for love.

I've been single for five whole years. I'm a thirty-year-old man. When will God let me have a sweet romance?

*

small theater:

Jin Dayu, you never expected this, did you? The CEO may not care about you, but the author does! You want a wife, huh? Okay, here we go!

*

Jin Dayu, engrossed in reading a novel, had only walked a short distance when he bumped into a woman walking towards him.

Two crisp "crackling" sounds were heard.

The phones in both of their hands fell to the ground at the same time.

……

Hua Zhixin is attending a local matchmaking party at a Western restaurant tonight.

After getting off work, she went home, carefully applied makeup, threw the clothes in her closet onto the bed, tried on a bunch of random clothes, and finally chose a bright green suit at the last minute before rushing out to hail a taxi.

Even on the bus, the novel enthusiast didn't forget to keep reading.

As I got off the bus, I came across a gripping, pivotal chapter, and decided to finish watching it while walking.

Without any suspense, the woman took a few steps and bumped solidly into a man's chest.

It felt like hitting a wall.

The phone in my hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

"Are your eyes on the back of your head?!"

Hua Zhixin opened her mouth and shouted, while looking up at the wall she had bumped into.

Holy crap, this is my type!

Hua Zhixin almost blurted it out.

The man was tall and strong, and his well-tailored suit couldn't hide his muscular and well-proportioned physique.

What's most amazing is that such a muscular man has a refined and dignified appearance. If he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, he would definitely be a cultured scoundrel.

Kim Dae-woo looks like this?! (Laughing while covering mouth.JPG)

*

Kim Dae-woo retorted without holding back, "Do you think I have an eye on the back of my head?!"

This pretty woman is actually quite fierce.

Both of them are glued to their phones, so who's to blame?

Hua Zhixin rubbed her forehead, which had been bruised and sore from the man's blow, but a thought unconsciously popped into her mind.

This man's pectoral muscles are as hard as rocks; I wonder what they feel like to touch.

The next second, the two of them simultaneously squatted down to pick up their phones.

The man's phone was unharmed.

The woman's phone wasn't so lucky; the screen protector cracked in several places.

Both phones were still on.

The two glanced at each other's phones without realizing it.

The text that caught Hua Zhixin's eye was: "[Fu Yichen watched Qiao An'an's departing figure, frowning as he fell into deep thought...]"

The text that caught Jin Dayu's eye was: [Qiao An'an slowly closed her eyes, imagining Fu Yichen whispering in her ear...]

The man and woman's eyelids twitched violently, their bodies froze, and at the same time, they revealed the emoji of an elderly person's phone on the subway.

They each harbored their own thoughts:

Isn't this the novel I've been reading?!

—【Mr. Fu, why is your beautiful wife doing this?!】

So we're kindred spirits! We're even reading the same novel!

The atmosphere instantly became a bit awkward.
