Chi Yu kissed the person who was still sleeping in his arms, a satisfied smile on his lips, and buried his head in Xu Nian's neck, finally filling some of the emptiness in his heart.

Thinking of how much he had tormented Xu Nian last night, Chi Yu let go of her hand and quietly got out of bed and left the room.

When he went downstairs to the living room, he found the manor's butler already waiting for him.

"Uncle Lu, have the kitchen prepare a light breakfast, keep it warm so that Madam can eat it as soon as she wakes up," Chi Yu instructed, sitting at the dining table.

"Yes, young master, is there anything else the young mistress needs to be aware of?" Uncle Lu asked with a kind smile.

"Forget it, I'll handle her matter myself." Chi Yu didn't want to push Xu Nian's affairs onto others; this was his chance to win her favor.

"How are the things I asked to buy yesterday coming along?" Chi Yu asked, eating the breakfast the nanny brought him, still thinking about whether he had forgotten anything.

"Don't worry, young master. The young mistress's clothes, shoes, bags, and daily necessities were delivered last night and are all in her room on the second floor." Uncle Lu's efficiency was quite good, and Chi Yu trusted him.

After breakfast, Chi Yu went to his study on the second floor to hold a video conference. After finishing his work, he sent red envelopes to everyone to celebrate his wedding.

Amidst the congratulations and well wishes, Chi Yu smiled broadly, revealing his pearly white teeth.

After the meeting ended, Chi Yu picked up his phone and started processing yesterday's messages, first replying to a few messages from his parents who were traveling.

Then he replied to each message in turn. When it was Ji Zhixian's turn, he asked for a matchmaker's fee, and Chi Yu gave him two hundred to get by.

Ji Zhixian accepted the red envelope and felt quite sorry for Song Bo, so she sent the two hundred yuan to Song Bo.

Song Bo looked puzzled, while Ji Zhixian awkwardly laughed and said, "This is the matchmaker fee given by Brother Chi."

Song Bo coldly replied, "No need."

Was Song Bo angry?

There definitely is.

Because of Chi Yu's actions, everyone who knew him and Xu Nian knew that Song Bo's girlfriend had been stolen by Chi Yu.

Although they are not actually boyfriend and girlfriend, no one else knows!

All they knew was that Song Bo's girlfriend had been stolen.

The key issue is that he can't clarify the matter yet; he's destined to take the blame for having his girlfriend stolen.

Song Bo was frowning when Lu Sheng walked over with a mocking smile and said, "Still keeping up with news about your ex-girlfriend? You haven't actually fallen for her, have you? Changed your mind?"

"It's none of your business." Song Bo didn't want to pay attention to Lu Sheng's sarcastic remarks.

“How can it be nothing? You’re mine now. How can you think about someone else?” Lu Sheng grabbed Song Bo’s chin, forcing him to look directly into his eyes.

"Don't forget, you have a girlfriend. Let's forget about that day!" Song Bo slapped Lu Sheng's hand away, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

"You tell me to forget, but when you found a girlfriend to provoke me, why didn't you think of telling me to forget?" Lu Sheng laughed sarcastically, but his eyes grew increasingly red.

"Lu Sheng, no matter what the reason, we can't be together. The Song family and the Lu family can't afford to lose face like this." This is also why Song Bo paid Xu Nian to be his girlfriend.

He can find a girlfriend with an ordinary background to go back to, but he can't find a boyfriend to go back to the Song family.

“Song Bo, there’s really nothing between Jiang Feifei and me. It was just a fling.” Lu Sheng thought Song Bo was still bothered by this.

“Your family wants you to marry her, and you didn’t refuse. Lu Sheng, you’re not my must-have, and I’m not your backup option.” Song Bo actually looked down on himself and Lu Sheng.

On one hand, she couldn't let go of everything at home, but on the other hand, she pretended to be indifferent.

The most important thing is Lu Sheng's attitude. He said he liked her, but he could be boyfriend and girlfriend with Jiang Feifei, and even planned to get married.

Did he ever consider how innocent Jiang Feifei was, unaware of the situation?

Don't talk about family alliances. It's all for the benefit of both families. Jiang Feifei has so many marriage partners to choose from. It's not like she has to marry Lu Sheng.

The way he ruined a girl made Song Bo feel like he had been blind, even though he wasn't a good person himself.

Song Bo and Lu Sheng parted on bad terms.

...

When Xu Nian woke up, she was in a daze. Her eyes moved slightly before she seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Wife, you're finally awake. It's all my fault, I made you tired." Chi Yu squatted down by the bed with a guilty look on his face, but if he had a tail, Xu Nianxiang would definitely wag it wildly.

"I'm hungry." Xu Nian awkwardly pulled the blanket closer to herself.

Seeing Xu Nian's embarrassment, Chi Yu chuckled and said, "I'll go downstairs to get some food. I've brought your clothes here."

"Okay." Xu Nian nodded and watched Chi Yu leave.

With a "click," the door opened, and Chi Yu returned.

He smiled at Xu Nian and said, "Wife, remember to call me if you need any help!"

"I don't need it, get out." Xu Nian was furious and embarrassed. Thinking about what happened last night, her cheeks began to turn bright red.

Chi Yu closed the door with a regretful look, then went downstairs humming a cheerful tune.

Refusing the nanny's help, she went to the kitchen, retrieved the prepared food, and brought it upstairs.

Upon entering the room, Chi Yu saw that Xu Nian had already washed up and dressed neatly, and his disappointment was clearly visible on his face.

Xu Nian watched him but ignored him, took the food from Chi Yu's hand, and sat on the balcony to start eating.

After Xu Nian finished eating, Chi Yu took out a large pile of documents from the safe and placed them in front of Xu Nian.

"What are you doing?" Xu Nian stared at the equity transfer agreement on the document without making a move.

"Wife, this is all my savings. I'm giving it all to you now. From now on, I'll work for you, and you'll have to give me pocket money every month." Chi Yu gently stuffed the documents into Xu Nian's arms.

Xu Nian was numb from holding the pile of documents, but she didn't doubt that Chi Yu would lie to her.

Knowing he was telling the truth only made her feelings more complicated. "Chi Yu, do you know what you call this behavior?"

"What are you calling me? I just handed over my salary to my wife!" Chi Yu's clear, bright eyes made Xu Nian want to facepalm.

“Call me a simp.” Xu Nian rolled her eyes at Chi Yu.

If the person he sets his sights on is someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't she divorce him and run away with all that money, given the enormous sum he's made?

"Wife, don't you doubt my sincerity towards you?" Chi Yu was overjoyed, his focus completely different from Xu Nian's.

"Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Xu Nian wasn't without self-awareness. If Chi Yu was really after her, why would he insist on marrying her and eagerly give her a bunch of contracts?

She didn't want to complain about the way he pursued her, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Xu Nian returned the documents to Chi Yu, and under his bewildered gaze, said, "Keep them safe. If you bankrupt me, we're finished."

"Wife, you have to trust your husband." Chi Yu was grinning from ear to ear, holding the contract, so much so that Xu Nian couldn't bear to watch.

This guy is definitely a hopeless romantic.
