There's nothing special about it; it's just a matter of practice.
After a long and complicated process, Cheng Jixue was finally able to eat in peace. Although they had only been together for half a year, Zhang Chaohe had already vividly demonstrated what a dog of a man should be like after he got what he wanted—from being affectionate and polite in serving food to now playing on his phone while eating. Cheng Jixue wondered countless times if he was impotent.
"That crappy phone is more fun than me?" Cheng Jixue thought incredulously.
Then he remembered the lonely figure of Zhang Chaohe, curled up in a blanket with his back to him, after a day of exercise. Cheng Jixue hesitated many times, wondering if he hadn't been gentle enough today, if the experience wasn't comfortable enough, or even if Zhang Chaohe had been bewitched by the young celebrity he'd chatted up that day and fallen for someone else—all sorts of crazy thoughts popped into his head…
Finally, he mustered up his courage and pulled at the rolled-up blanket, only to discover that Zhang Chaohe was simply using his well-defined, muscular back to block the light from his phone and steal energy from Ant Forest...
Cheng Jixue was almost laughing in exasperation, but Zhang Chaohe panicked and clutched his phone, saying, "I'm not coming anymore, I don't have a single drop left!!"
As the reminiscence ended, Cheng Jixue chuckled while picking up chicken nuggets. He was about to tease the goose when he heard it let out a pitiful cry—"Why is everyone eyeing my money?!"
Cheng Jixue, his mind still reeling, was startled by the shout and half of it went blank. He cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Chaohe exclaimed in horror, "It seems I really have surpassed 10 billion!!"
It wasn't a hundred billion that Ji Tingduan artificially inflated; it was earned through genuine hard work—hundred billion!
Zhang Chaohe might even be the last person to know that he is worth 10 billion... Zhang Baiyi only found out from the trending topics. He successfully evolved yesterday, jumping from the cute and handsome Zhang Baiwan to Zhang Baiyi!
Even his global fan club has officially changed its name to 【@ZhangBaiyiGlobalFanClub】?
By the time he opened the comments, the top comment had changed from wishing the movie "Crazy Gods" a box office success during the New Year to: "Can you make enough money to start dating now?"
[One vote from you, one vote from me, and our CP (couple) supertopic will be officially verified tomorrow!]
[I participated in the 10 billion yuan plan, and now I hope that Mr. Zhang will immediately reciprocate by announcing his dating plans!]
So who exactly is the Empress? I'm so anxious!
[It's past midnight, why hasn't an announcement been released yet? I'm buying Chengcheng shares!]
[The comments section looks like a massive wailing session about buying lottery tickets; I bet on a safe stock! (Hezhu)]
[Don't talk nonsense upstairs... Little Pig Brother is a fan of the Crane and Snow pairing! He's just a money-making machine, please leave him alone!!]
[It's so late and there's still no official announcement or clarification, CEO, are you awake yet? I can't sleep!!]
Zhang Chaohe incredulously held his phone away: "Why are they all so curious?"
I never said I was going to announce my relationship with a billion dollars! How did you all spread these rumors?
[Pointing and gesturing].jpg;
Cheng Jixue subtly curled the corners of her lips, half-jokingly and half-complaining, "After all, Xiao Zhang is always a top star."
"He's still the richest top star, the most handsome young tycoon. So many people like Mr. Zhang. Dating Mr. Zhang would be defying the heavens." Cheng Jixue pitifully poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, looking just like a wronged little girl.
Zhang Chaohe clenched his fist, unable to contain himself any longer: "The richest top celebrity, the most handsome young tycoon... Mr. Ji, do I need to remind you?!"
Some people are simply living in Versailles—at the end of last year, someone was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards for his role as Chang Xiaoyue in "The Golden Hairpin"; then the commercial comedy "Gods Are Crazy" was released and became a hit during the New Year period, and the same person became popular again with his half-mad, half-awake villainous role, joining the ranks of popular celebrities.
Soon, Cheng Jixue will be joining the cast of the big IP "Drunken Blade" as the Jade-Faced White Fox - a wildly popular character, roughly equivalent to Sun Wukong in the hearts of a generation?
Not to mention, he will also play the male lead in director Luan Zhang's award-contending film.
Cheng Jixue, having gotten a good deal, looked sweetly at the goose and said, "Baby, isn't mine yours too?"
Zhang Chaohe used to dream about how to exploit Cheng Jixue's labor, but when Cheng Jixue became a huge star and had an endless stream of gigs, Zhang Chaohe began to regret his actions.
The four seasons are so beautiful, yet he can only sit alone in the office approving documents and engaging in a long-distance relationship.
Am I broke?
Zhang Chaohe seriously reflected: Why did I make Xiao Mei work for everyone, instead of working for me alone?
Just as he was regretting it, his phone rang—Zhang Chaohe answered the phone, and Jiang Wei's teasing voice came from the other end of the line: "What do you think about Mr. Zhang's net worth exceeding 10 billion?"
"Shouldn't President Ji also give the biggest contributor a bigger bonus?"
Cheng Jixue smiled and replied, "Yes."
In the third month after Zhang Chaohe and Cheng Jixue confirmed their relationship, both Assistant Jiang and Assistant Chen, as good friends, learned the truth about how CEO Zhang had married into a wealthy family and solidified his title as a millionaire's wife.
Everyone fell silent for a moment: Assistant Chen hesitated for a while before saying, "I used to be a goalkeeper."
Jiang's assistant paused for a moment, then said, "I often tattle on others."
Zhang Chaohe gleefully hinted, "Everyone knows how to choose sides, right?"
Assistant Chen nodded solemnly, "Understood, Mr. Ji, let's add each other on WeChat."
Just kidding, Assistant Chen is still the unluckiest guy when the young couple argues, hesitating between changing jobs and his boss, Dark Shark, every day.
Zhang Chaohe was unwilling to face the cruel reality and personally destroy his proud image as a single aristocrat—he deceived himself and tried to stall for time, betting with Cheng Jixue: "If I dare to make an official announcement today, they will dare to urge me to get married tomorrow."
After all, a single fan of the goose can create a star that's worth two people, capable of driving the goose two miles away.
Cheng Jixue was neither anxious nor annoyed... She had endured it for half a year, so what difference would a few more hours make?
He smiled and suggested, "Why don't we just announce the wedding now? That way we won't be pressured to get married."
Zhang Chaohe looked at the other person with a start: "Should I praise you for being clever?"
Cheng Jixue pointed to her cheek: "Then let's give her a compliment!"
Zhang Chaohe, feigning anger but actually feeling shy, kissed the little beauty's cheek, then quickly sat up and started the game.
Cheng Jixue was holding Guapi—Guapi was getting heavier and heavier. After having Zhang Chaohe as his father, Guapi immediately received unprecedented pampering and was about to become a golden pig-like creature.
It struggled to change its position on Cheng Jixue's lap and desperately nudged its head toward Zhang Chaohe... Cheng Jixue felt as if her leg bones were about to be broken by the pig's kicking.
Zhang Chaohe was enjoying the perfect life with his wife, dog, and warm bed, and was just about to escape reality by playing video games when Ms. Zhao sent him a WeChat message: "Dian Dian, you're trending again! Should we take it off the trending list?"
He glanced at his phone, then looked up to see Cheng Jixue smiling at him, her gaze sinister, her left eye saying "you" and her right eye saying "dare."
Zhang Chaohe may not show his face, but if he dares to cover up the news that the vast majority of netizens have verified the Empress, the Empress will probably deceive the Emperor and beat him up in other ways.
Zhang Chaohe replied timidly, "No, no."
They thought they could delay any longer, but Cheng Xuelan called later that day, asking helplessly, "Are you going to make it official?"
"If you want to announce it, now is the best time. After all, Xiao Cheng is an artist, and you have to think about his future."
Cheng Jixue sighed virtuously and patiently, "President Zhang, please don't make things difficult for me." He smoothed his hair, looking both fragile and strong, "At worst, when my looks fade and love wanes, I'll go back to singing opera to support myself."
He didn't even need to look up to know that Zhang Chaohe had definitely fallen into that bad habit that some men have, and was now staring at him expectantly—just a few seconds later, he indeed heard Zhang Chaohe's non-refusal reply: "Tomorrow, definitely, tomorrow."
What a scumbag's line! "I'll definitely say it tomorrow."
Cheng Jixue sneered inwardly.
Moreover, Zhang Chaohe was really guilty. Not only did he put on a face mask and go to bed at 10 p.m., he also insisted on making Cheng Jixue stay in the guest room!
Cheng Jixue spent half the night alone in the guest room, unable to sleep, trying to mentally simulate all the possible ways to force Da'e to take responsibility the next day.
Once I successfully gain my place in the family, Cheng Jixue gritted her teeth: I will definitely (censored) and then (censored) let him know that it's not enough to just lust after someone's body!
At three in the morning, Cheng Jixue drifted off to sleep, and it seemed like it had only been a short while since dawn—he could even smell the fresh, moist scent of the early morning air, along with a hint of sweet lemon fragrance…
Lemon scent?!
Cheng Jixue suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhang Chaohe standing in front of him with a worried expression. His face, which had been radiant from a beauty sleep and a face mask, exuded an expensive and handsome aura—he was also carrying two suits in his hands.
One was a dark gray patterned piece, and the other was a black woven fabric with navy blue stitching.
“Uh…” Cheng Jixue even checked her watch, after all, it was practically impossible to see Zhang Chaohe sober at this hour.
What are you doing here?
Zhang Chaohe sighed: "What should I wear to get our marriage certificate today?"
Cheng Jixue: "I think—wait a minute, get the marriage certificate?!"
A huge surprise fell from the sky, and Cheng Jixue even wondered if she was still half asleep and was experiencing tinnitus.
Zhang Chaohe finally couldn't hold back his laughter and revealed a mischievous grin: "Are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll invite someone else to come along!"
Cheng Jixue pinched Zhang Chaohe's buttocks hard—he felt that his expression was definitely out of control right now. He seemed to be laughing, or he seemed to be laughing stupidly. In any case, he would not have shown such a strange expression twenty years ago, and he probably wouldn't show it again in the future.
Cheng Jixue sat up abruptly: "Who else do you want to go with?"
"Okay, that explains why you went to bed so early yesterday!"
Zhang Chaohe said smugly, "Go to bed early to prevent swelling—I'm going to beat you up today!"
Cheng Jixue started fidgeting with his clothes, unable to control the corners of his mouth, and turned back with sparkling eyes: "Really...?"
This small notebook not only represents social and legal recognition of identity, but also represents unwavering courage and determination.
Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with this person?
It's not an impulse or a pastime; it's not just love, but also a responsibility.
A ring is a vow, marriage is a covenant, and a marriage certificate is a promise of a long and lasting commitment.
Zhang Chaohe raised an eyebrow: "Of course, if we're going to make a announcement, let's make a big one."
"Otherwise, it would be a waste of my million-dollar lottery winnings, right?!"
Cheng Jixue and he raised their eyebrows at each other, like two childish puppies provoking each other: "Am I only worth a million?"
Zhang Chaohe rolled his eyes: "You can pay your own million. I'm not going to be a sucker!"
Cheng Jixue picked him up and buried her head in Zhang Chaohe's shoulder: "What's mine is yours, Madam Ji."
Zhang Chaohe was greatly shocked. He broke free from Cheng Jixue's embrace and exclaimed, "Where is Madam Zhang?!"
“Everyone can do their own thing,” Cheng Jixue echoed, “that way everyone can have a wife.”
