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

Within seconds, Hua Zhixin burst out laughing.

"You—no way, a grown man like you actually reads female-centric CEO novels."

Kim Daewoo twitched his lips in annoyance: "Isn't it illegal for a man to read CEO romance novels?"

Hua Zhixin shook her head: "Not only is it not illegal, but we should also encourage more of it."

"Men these days are always reading fantasy, suspense, and supernatural stuff. They're practically turning their brains into biological weapons. I prefer men who love romance novels. Men like that are interesting and understand women's minds better."

Hua Zhixin spoke eloquently, leaving Jin Dayu completely bewildered.

It turns out this woman wanted to praise men who read romance novels.

"Let's add each other on WeChat!" Hua Zhixin said, swiping open her phone.

"???"

Kim Dae-woo stared at the woman in front of him, unable to react.

A playful smile appeared on Hua Zhixin's lips.

"Aren't you going to buy me a new screen protector? Add me on WeChat and I'll send you the link!"

"Don't expect me to give you one of those cheap ones that cost 9.9 yuan with free shipping. This one is a tempered glass screen protector that costs 299.9 yuan, which is explosion-proof, blue light-proof, fingerprint-proof, and has a bare-phone feel."

Kim Daewoo glanced disdainfully at the woman's cracked phone screen protector, then brandished his own phone and gave her a smug smile:

"Your screen protector that costs 299.9 yuan doesn't seem very durable. How about you switch to mine for 9.9 yuan with free shipping?"

Hua Zhixin nodded and showed her personal WeChat QR code.

"Who cares about its durability? It's expensive, that's all that matters! Add it!"

Jin Dayu pinched the bridge of his nose: "Miss, why don't you give me your payment QR code? I'll just transfer three hundred yuan to you and that'll be fine."

Instead of answering, Hua Zhixin asked, "Are you married?"

Kim Dae-woo paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you don't have a girlfriend either, right?"

Hua Zhixin crossed her arms and looked Jin Dayu up and down again.

Kim Dae-woo shook his head again, puzzled, and said:

"Miss, I only owe you a screen protector, do you want to check my paternity? Is the next question going to be whether my parents are still alive?"

Hua Zhixin's eyes darted around, and she chuckled, "I'll ask you that question another time. Now, I'll ask you another question: how did Fu Yichen and Qiao An'an first meet?"

Jin Dayu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled twice: "You're going to test me on my novel? Fine, who's afraid of who!"

He cleared his throat and said, "Fu Yichen met Qiao An'an after he was on a business trip by plane and temporarily transferred his business class seat to a friend and switched to economy class."

Hua Zhixin pressed further, "And then?"

"And then? Then Qiao An'an accidentally spilled Coke on Fu Yichen, so she asked Fu Yichen for his contact information and offered to pay for his laundry."

"That's right. If Qiao An'an had directly transferred money to Fu Yichen via QR code after their meeting, and the two hadn't added each other on WeChat, do you think there might have been any further developments?"

Without hesitation, Kim Dae-woo replied, "Need I say more? Of course not!"

Hua Zhixin nodded.

"You've finally figured it out? If you just scan the money and send it to me now, won't we still have no chance to develop our relationship?"

Kim Daewoo: "..."

The man's ears suddenly turned red. Is this what they call "hitting the bullseye" online?

Hua Zhixin smiled as if she could read his mind: "Yes, that's called playing straight."

The man in front of her, with his refined yet roguish appearance, was exactly her type, and she was absolutely smitten with his muscles.

What's even more remarkable is that they share the same interests and hobbies. Where can you find a man who's such a perfect match?

Kim Dae-woo scratched the back of his head: "So that's what you meant! You should have said so earlier!"

Hua Zhixin joked, "You forced me to play that straight shot. It seems you're still a novice when it comes to reading novels and need some pointers."

Kim Dae-woo chuckled awkwardly, "I've read quite a few novels before, but I only recently started reading romance novels."

Hua Zhixin pouted her milk tea-colored lips: "So, are you going to catch this ball or not?"

She can't help but act cute in front of the man she likes.

"I'm just... a little overwhelmed..."

Kim Dae-woo gave a silly, straight-man smile.

"You can answer it!"

Hua Zhixin interrupted him immediately, "I'll hit the ball, you just catch it!"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hua Zhixin, I am 25 years old and currently single."

Kim Dae-woo was stunned for a moment.

The woman's shot was so straight that it left him somewhat bewildered.

After a long pause, he replied, "My name is Kim Daewoo, I'm 30 years old, and I'm single."

"To be honest, I was actually going to a blind date party today, but I think I'm already late. If someone invites me to a movie now, I think I could give it a try and start dating."

Hua Zhixin glanced at her watch, then gave him a flirty wink.

Kim Dae-woo, a straight man, is completely powerless against Hua Zhixin, a straightforward woman.

The experience before him was like a scene from a novel, but it was actually happening to him.

What kind of movie do you want to watch?

The man uttered those words in a daze.

……

On Ji Lingfeng's bespoke ride-hailing vehicle.

The ticklish man couldn't resist Ye Cheng's caresses and obediently took out his phone.

"It won't take a minute, it'll be ready in no time."

After Ye Cheng got the phone, she swiped the screen, typed a few words, paused, deleted them, and then retyped them.

Ji Lingfeng watched helplessly as the woman operated his phone.

"Okay, I've added a note for you, made some minor modifications, see if you're satisfied."

The woman handed over the phone, her eyes beaming with a smile.

Ji Lingfeng took it with a puzzled look and glanced down at the WeChat contact name.

[The neighbor's wife]

Ye Cheng chuckled and said, "I won't let you suffer any losses, just wait a moment."

She fiddled with her phone a bit more, then shoved the screen right in front of the man.

Ji Lingfeng looked closely.

[The Husband Next Door]

"So, I'm your neighbor's wife, and you're my neighbor's husband. This nickname is reasonable, isn't it?"

Ye Cheng wore a smug expression.

The man twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

The nickname "woman" seems appropriate; it makes sense.

Ye Cheng continued in his ear, "From now on, when I call the neighbor's husband for dinner at home, you just reply, 'Neighbor's wife, coming right up!'"

"Haha, isn't that interesting!"

Ji Lingfeng's temples throbbed twice.

What do you mean by "the neighbor's wife" or "the neighbor's husband"? How could she even think of that?

However, he could accept the words "husband" and "wife," and found them agreeable.

Xiao Zhang, who was driving in the front seat, was also starting to have his own thoughts.

The CEO and the young mistress are still neighbors, so things are progressing rather slowly!

We got off the bus and returned to Jingtai Garden.

The two took the elevator to the 19th floor, where a bag was hanging on the door handle.

"What is this? What did you order?" Ye Cheng asked in surprise.

Ji Lingfeng glanced at her and said coldly, "Yes, but it looks like you won't need it even if you buy it. You have your own magic weapon."

After the man finished speaking, he opened the door and strode inside.

Ye Cheng opened the bag and saw that it was full of items for women's menstrual cycles.

She paused for a moment, then smiled again, her eyes crinkling.

My heart feels warm.

It turns out that this Stone Age man knew how to buy these things.

You underestimated him!
