After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

My marriage to Jiang Yuwei was, to put it bluntly, a family-arranged marriage. As for the relationship, it was all arranged by my father.

After we got married, my father-in-law became my emotional strategist, always giving me "brilliant" tips to keep Jiang Yuwei's heart firmly in his grasp. I would always agree to these tips and pretend they worked really well to reassure him, but in reality, I never dared to actually do anything.

Now that this matter has blown up, everyone knows that my marriage is just in name only. I bet my father knows it all too well, but he hasn't called me out on it. Every time I hear him nagging about it, I feel a mix of emotions.

Thinking that as long as I could get Jiang Yuwei to pay attention to me, life would definitely be great. Look at Chen Yiran, isn't he an example? He rose to prominence and now enjoys all the love and attention.

However, I've come to terms with it and stopped hoping that Jiang Yuwei would fall in love with me.

Women are unreliable! You still have to stand up for yourself! I smiled and said to the old man, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will try my best."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately winked at me and whispered, "You two will sleep together tonight. You'd better seize the opportunity so I can hold my great-grandson as soon as possible."

My lips twitched. The old man's words were far too direct. Back then, Jiang Yuwei only let me get close because I had a bit of a knack for taking advantage of her vulnerability. Now, I'm standing naked in front of her, and she doesn't even blink.

Although that's what I was thinking, I still agreed: "I know, Grandpa, I will definitely try my best to give you a big, healthy son."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Yuwei, having finished washing the dishes with her sleeves still rolled up, casually said, "I'm going to take a shower." Before the words were even out of her mouth, she was already upstairs. Seeing this, the old man immediately gave me a helping hand, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow me! It'd be best if we showered together, to strengthen our relationship!"

I was pushed so hard I almost stumbled, and I laughed as I declined, "Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry." The old man got impatient, "You rascal, a bath together, don't you know anything about romance! Listen to me, I'm right!" As he spoke, his face turned red, and he kept urging me to go upstairs.

I knew perfectly well that the old man was trying to teach me "real combat."

Thinking back to my past life, I endured for two years before finally seducing Jiang Yuwei, and this was largely due to the old man's usual "encouragement." In the end, I gritted my teeth and followed him; otherwise, the old man might personally teach me how to woo a wife.

I stepped into the room, looked around, and my eyes were a little unfocused.

I did live in this house in my past life. It was another "love nest" that the old man specially prepared for the two of us—Jiang Yuwei and me. However, Jiang Yuwei rarely returned with me in my past life, so this room mostly became my place of solitude.

The room layout remained the same, with familiar objects neatly arranged, but the bed was the only thing that left me speechless.

I remember it used to be a spacious two-meter-long bed, but now it's shrunk to a tiny 1.5-meter-tall thing! I couldn't help but frown, then shook my head with a wry smile, "Grandpa is really going all out as a matchmaker."

The sound of soft water came from the bathroom. The door was made of semi-transparent frosted glass. Although the details were not visible, the vaguely revealed graceful outline still made one's heart skip a beat.

I muttered to myself, "I'm not going to feel good if she watches me like that while I'm taking a shower later."

Hmph, Jiang Yuwei, you can neither eat the food I cook nor peep at me while I'm taking a shower. I need to find something to cover myself up.

After wandering around the room for a while, I casually grabbed a spare sheet and sat down on the small bed.

Although the bed is small, it's as soft as ever, and it's quite comfortable to sit on. I couldn't help but gently press the mattress, enjoying its elasticity. Just as I was savoring the moment, "click," the bathroom door opened.

Jiang Yuwei, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out while drying her hair.

I looked up and was immediately stunned by her beauty. My gaze lingered on her body. Water droplets slid down her fair neck and disappeared under the towel. The sight made my throat tighten, and I unconsciously swallowed.

"Ye Qiu, your eyes are practically popping out of your head, you're such a pervert." She looked at me with disdain and a mocking smile played on her lips.

I quickly pretended to wipe my mouth, but there was nothing there. I was a little angry inside. "You're the one with problems with your eyes! I didn't drool!"

Jiang Yuwei has given me a whole host of nicknames: poor bastard, good-for-nothing, and now a pervert. Seriously, enough is enough! How can she be so annoying!

She approached step by step, her smile widening. "So eager to devour me? Weren't you quite tough before? What's this all about, playing hard to get?"

I retorted, "You big idiot! I don't care. Tonight, let's keep to ourselves!"

I had just gotten up to take a shower when a pillow flew at me, accompanied by her crisp voice: "Tonight, you're sleeping on the floor!"

"What?!" I stared at her, wide-eyed in disbelief. "Where am I supposed to sleep?"

"The floor," Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing, "What, you really intend to share this small space with me?"

She looked me up and down, her gaze finally settling on my crotch. Her eyes were icy, her disgust palpable.

I was angry inside, but a smile involuntarily crept onto my lips. This woman's contempt was so blatant.

I simply lay back down on the bed, deliberately spreading my legs out to take over the entire bed, adopting a "what can you do about it?" attitude.

“I never intended to share a bed with you, but since we’re going to be in the same room, the bed is mine. You’ll just have to make do and sleep on the floor.”

Strangely enough, in her previous life, Jiang Yuwei was a woman of her word, and no one could force her to do anything she didn't want to do. Even the old man couldn't do anything about her.

Normally, she would have run away or found somewhere else to stay in this situation. But tonight, not only did she not leave, she even started arguing with me, fighting over the bed. I've never seen anything like it before.

As I was thinking, Jiang Yuwei's icy voice interrupted my thoughts. "Get down!" With water droplets still clinging to her hair, she slowly slid into the bath towel, a sight that was both sexy and carried a strange restlessness.

I lay on my side, propping my head up with my hand, looking back at her defiantly. "I'm not getting off. I'd rather die than sleep on the floor. Or, how about we make do and sleep in the same bed?"

"You're dreaming!" Jiang Yuwei's face darkened, and she ordered again, "Get down!"

People say Jiang Yuwei is decisive and efficient in the business world, but keeps her distance from men and is very gentlemanly. Now it seems those rumors were all lies; her gentlemanly manners have long since vanished.

"Sleep in my bed? I'm afraid you might have some ulterior motives towards me." Jiang Yuwei smiled contemptuously. "I won't give you that chance."

"Don't worry, you're not attractive to me at all." I replied with a sneer, looking her up and down and deliberately clicking my tongue. "You're nothing special, you don't arouse my interest in the slightest."

I guess my expression was too irritating, because Jiang Yuwei's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Ye Qiu, do you even know how to spell the word 'shame'?"

She pressed closer, trying to grab my hand and pull me off the bed, but I rolled around on the bed like an eel, deliberately making myself out of her reach. I knew Jiang Yuwei was a germaphobe and would never go to bed without showering, so my actions were undoubtedly testing her limits.

"This bed is covered in my scent now, do you still dare to get on?" I looked at her defiantly.

Jiang Yuwei's face was as black as ink. "Ye Qiu, you..."

"What? I'm a scoundrel. You either leave or you'll sleep on the floor." Before I could finish speaking, Jiang Yuwei suddenly snapped and pulled me up. Of course, I refused to give in, and relying on my strength, I pulled her onto the bed instead.

The next second, our bodies were pressed tightly together, without a single gap...

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the rapid beating of two hearts.
