Zhao Ruoming took a careful bath, changed back into Duan Hongji's skin, and returned to Duan's house on time at eight o'clock in the evening.

When they got home, the Duan family had already prepared dinner, and the three Duan brothers and Jiang Huiyi were already seated.

Jiang Huiyi's eyes were swollen like peaches, and Duan Jizhi's face was not looking good either. Duan Chengfang looked worried and full of things on his mind. Only Duan Ye looked cheerful and looked like he deserved a beating.

Zhao Ruoming looked at these grown-up boys and girls whose thoughts were written all over their faces, and once again sighed that life was hard and shit was difficult to eat.

After all, it's difficult to pretend to be blind every day and pretend that you can't see the secrets between them.

After Duan Hongji washed his hands and sat down, he began to eat dinner in silence. He did not say a word the whole time.

The Duan family has no rules about not talking while eating or sleeping. Duan Hongji's silence makes the atmosphere seem a bit unbearable.

Jiang Huiyi thought she was secretly glancing at Duan Jizhi, and when she saw that he ate so little, a hint of worry flashed across her face.

The Duan family's table was a revolving table. Jiang Huiyi looked at the dishes, stretched out her jade hand, and transferred a plate of mushrooms and Chinese cabbage to Duan Jizhi.

Shiitake mushrooms and Chinese cabbage are Duan Jizhi’s favorite dish.

In order to conceal her tracks and to show her love for Duan Hongji, after doing all this, Jiang Huiyi quickly picked up the dish in front of Duan Hongji with a chopstick and put it into Duan Hongji's bowl.

"Husband," Jiang Huiyi almost bit her tongue and said stiffly, "Try this, it's delicious."

When Duan Jizhi heard the word "husband", the expression on his face became even darker and he lowered his head even lower.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Duan Chengfang suddenly started coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

Dan Ye, who was sitting next to him, was startled: "Second brother, are you choking?"

Zhao Ruoming looked up at Duan Ye with pity. Silly boy, your second brother is allergic to idiots.

Zhao Ruoming slowly picked up the vegetables that Jiang Huiyi gave her and put them in her mouth and ate them.

After eating, she asked Jiang Huiyi softly, "Why are your eyes so swollen? Are you missing home?"

Duan Chengfang coughed even louder. Duan Ye dragged his chair in disgust, trying to get further away from him.

Jiang Huiyi's face was very stiff, and she blamed Duan Hongji for acting too corny. She couldn't say that my eyes were made by crying for your son, so she nodded and said against her will: "I miss home a little."

Zhao Ruoming smiled and said, "According to the rules of our Haicheng, you have to go back to your parents' home three days after your wedding. I'll go back with you in three days."

Jiang Huiyi didn't want to go back to see her good father at all, but since things had already been said, she had no choice but to agree with a stiff smile.

After dinner, Zhao Ruoming went to deal with company affairs for a while. He was busy until eleven o'clock before returning to the bedroom.

Jiang Huiyi was still awake, sitting anxiously beside the bed, waiting for the final judgment.

Although it was a contractual marriage, the pressure of being in the same room with an adult man at night was unimaginable, not to mention that this man was her nominal husband.

Zhao Ruoming stood at the door, leaned against it, and pinched his eyebrows.

In the original novel, Duan Hongji gave the big bed to Jiang Huiyi and slept on the floor. In order not to "sully" Jiang Huiyi's innocence, he deliberately slept with his back to Jiang Huiyi and drew a curtain between them.

Liuxiahui's behavior of remaining calm in the face of a beautiful woman indeed won the favor of the heroine, making her show some concern for Duan Hongji in the subsequent plot, which made the hero jealous.

Zhao Ruoming was not interested in such a dog-licking act. She was already exhausted from playing three roles in one day, okay? And she was asked to sleep on the floor? She would beat anyone who dared to ask her to sleep on the floor into the ground!

So Zhao Ruoming sat down on the bed with his arms and legs stretched out. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Huiyi shiver, and her face became even more alert.

Jiang Huiyi was embarrassed and afraid. After all, she was a young lady. If Duan Hongji insisted on sleeping with her, she would not be able to resist. Then... then... how would she face Duan Jizhi?

Thinking of Duan Jizhi, Jiang Huiyi closed her eyes, made up her mind, and prepared to remind Duan Hongji not to forget the contents of the agreement.

Before she could open her mouth, Zhao Ruoming asked, "Why are you still sitting here?"

Jiang Huiyi, who was filled with sadness and heroism, said: "...Hmm?"

Zhao Ruoming waved his hand impatiently: "I say, it's been two hours, and you haven't finished cleaning yet?"

Jiang Huiyi opened her mouth and said, "Ah?"

Zhao Ruoming glanced at Jiang Huiyi impatiently and rubbed his brows: "I'm already very tired today and just want to rest early. You're occupying my bed now and I can't sleep."

Jiang Huiyi looked strange and asked, "So you want me to leave?"

Zhao Ruoming's eyes widened in surprise, "I gave you two hours to clean up a place to sleep in this room, and you didn't do anything?"

Jiang Huiyi, who had been biting the corner of the quilt and crying silently in the room for two hours, said: "..."

Jiang Huiyi paused for each word and said slowly, "Didn't you say that we wanted to play a loving couple?"

Zhao Ruoming raised his eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "So I asked you to find a secluded place to sleep on the floor. Don't sleep where others can see you as soon as they come in."

Jiang Huiyi felt like she was stabbed in the head when she saw him taking it for granted.

Zhao Ruoming looked at her like this with an expression of horror on his face: "You are not going to share a bed with me, are you? That won't do. I never sleep in the same bed with others. It's hot, crowded and annoying..."

"I didn't!" Jiang Huiyi cried out as if she was pricked by a needle. The relief of a heavy burden and the shame of self-conceit intertwined in her heart, making her almost want to slap Zhao Ruoming again!

Jiang Huiyi has never suffered such injustice!

Even the Jiang family, who sold her out, sucked her blood politely. The domineering capitalist boss like Duan Hongji was really...

Jiang Huiyi was stunned, and suddenly realized - yes! Isn't Duan Hongji her boss now?

Zhao Ruoming saw Jiang Huiyi's sudden expression and smiled with satisfaction.

You see, being a lickspittle husband, even if he tries his best to sacrifice himself to lick the heroine, he can only get a little bit of pity and charity from the heroine.

But, being a boss means being half a father!

Being a boss who pays 33 billion in wages is like being a real dad!

After figuring out the trick, Jiang Huiyi stood up and said with her head down: "I'm sorry, old..."

Jiang Huiyi swallowed the word "boss" and said, "I just fell asleep and didn't make up my bed."

"Oh, is that so?" Zhao Ruoming waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'll clean it up for you."

As she spoke, she opened the cupboard and, according to Duan Hongji's memory, found a mattress at the bottom layer and took it out.

Zhao Ruoming was just about to spread the mattress on the floor when he suddenly remembered that Jiang Huiyi was still on her period!

Zhao Ruoming was in a dilemma. Letting a woman who was menstruating sleep on the floor? This was too ridiculous. She couldn't do it. But she had already said it. If she took it back now, would she look like a psychopath?

Although Zhao Ruoming was speechless about the heroine's love-brained thinking, Jiang Huiyi was a delicate girl after all, and she did not want to harm Jiang Huiyi's health.

Zhao Ruoming slowly spread the mattress on the ground, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Zhao Ruoming suddenly stopped and stared at the mattress in blank stare.

Jiang Huiyi saw that he suddenly froze and felt a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Ruoming remained in a daze and did not answer.

Jiang Huiyi finally couldn't help but move forward and was about to ask a question, but she saw the expression on Zhao Ruoming's face.

The expression on Zhao Ruoming's face was something Jiang Huiyi had never seen since she met him. It seemed like he was missing her, lost, and full of emotion. Jiang Huiyi simply couldn't believe that the man with a heart as hard as iron would actually show such an expression that was almost lost.

Jiang Huiyi softened her voice almost subconsciously: "What's wrong? What's wrong with this mattress?"

"This, this..." Zhao Ruoming seemed to have just woken up from a dream, his tongue was tied, and he came to his senses when he saw Jiang Huiyi, "You, you can't use this."

Jiang Huiyi didn't understand: "Uh, what do you mean?"

Zhao Ruoming wiped his face and said, "I say, you should sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor."

"What?" Jiang Huiyi was stunned for a moment and quickly refused, "No, you don't have to take care of me like this."

Zhao Ruoming frowned and glanced at her: "I'm not doing this to take care of you. Also, I don't like repeating the same thing twice."

Jiang Huiyi looked at Zhao Ruoming with a complicated expression, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

If not to take care of her, why else could it be? Could it be that this man is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside…

Thinking of this, Jiang Huiyi felt a little resistant again. She didn't want Duan Hongji to have any extra feelings for her.

As soon as Zhao Ruoming saw Jiang Huiyi's expression, he knew what she was thinking. In order to interrupt Jiang Huiyi's wild thoughts, Zhao Ruoming immediately began to conscientiously play the role of a stupid boss and made stupid quotes:

"The servants will put new sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases on the shelf at the door every day, and you can change them yourself.

"The bathroom is mine alone, you are not allowed to use it. There are bathrooms in other rooms on the third floor, you can use them at will.

"Remember to keep quiet at ordinary times. I hate noise. Especially after going to bed. Do you have the bad habit of snoring, grinding your teeth, and tossing and turning?"

"..." Jiang Huiyi's mixed feelings were immediately thrown out of her mind, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No."

Zhao Ruoming breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Jiang Huiyi felt her face flushed as she looked at his unconcealed relaxed expression.

How could there be such an annoying man in the world!

Zhao Ruoming was unaware and continued his performance: "Daily necessities, props used when playing a couple, and other items necessary for work. These are all considered official expenses and should be recorded in the company's - uh, my account."

Jiang Huiyi was very sure that what Duan Hongji, this bastard, wanted to say just now was "put it on the company's account" - this man really treated her as his employee through and through, without any personal feelings mixed in!

For a moment, Jiang Huiyi didn't know whether to be thankful or speechless.

Zhao Ruoming thought for a moment, and then said, "I will give you a black card. Any expenses other than those mentioned above will be charged to you. I am lending you this money, not giving it to you as a gift. Remember to pay it back after the agreement is over. You can pay it in installments. There is also this in the agreement, have you forgotten it?"

Jiang Huiyi tried hard to suppress the urge to twitch her lips and nodded: "I remember everything."

Zhao Ruoming showed undisguised joy and relief on his face: "Great, I like employees who are smart and save trouble."

Jiang Huiyi felt her hands itching again and again.

This man is her nominal husband, but in reality her boss! He is so stingy! He is always calculating! He has no gentlemanly manners at all! He is picky and has a sharp tongue!

No matter whether it is a man or a woman, a son or a wife, in his eyes they are all working for him like cattle and horses!

How could she have felt that this man loved her to the core!

She just thought that this man gave up his bed to her just to take care of her! Now it seems that maybe he just suddenly wanted to sleep on the floor!

Zhao Ruoming seemed to be unable to sense Jiang Huiyi's low pressure. He stretched himself, turned around and walked towards the bathroom, reminding Jiang Huiyi, "You haven't showered yet? Go to the next room and take a shower. When you come back, please keep your footsteps down so as not to disturb my sleep."

Sleep, sleep, sleep! I can’t sleep to death!

Jiang Huiyi silently reminded herself, "3.3 billion, 3.3 billion, 3.3 billion," before she suppressed the flames that were jumping wildly in her heart.

If Zhao Ruoming knew what Jiang Huiyi was thinking, he would probably cry out that he was wronged. Because according to the original plot, Jiang Huiyi was taking a shower when she met Duan Jizhi and had an ambiguous relationship with him.

This night plot is the last plot of the day. Although it is not as important as the previous two plots, Zhao Ruoming still tried his best to create opportunities for the male and female protagonists.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruoming lay down peacefully after taking a shower and closed his eyes.

--------

Jiang Huiyi finished washing and returned to Duan Hongji's bedroom from the bathroom next door. When she walked to the bed, she saw that Duan Hongji had indeed fallen asleep on the floor.

In order to take care of her boss's delicate sleeping quality, Jiang Huiyi deliberately stepped very lightly. She should have gone straight to bed to sleep, but somehow, she couldn't help but walk around Duan Hongji and leaned over to observe him.

Duan Hongji's breathing was very light, and he looked not as annoying as he was when he was awake.

His long and thick eyelashes hung on his lower eyelids like two small black fans. The light shining on his face made him look even more handsome and elegant.

Duan Hongji is 45 years old this year, but he looks only in his early 30s. Jiang Huiyi has good eyesight and can see the faint dark circles under his eyes. Even when he is asleep, his face has a faint tired look.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Huiyi suddenly wanted to touch his eyes.

The moment she stretched out her hand, Duan Hongji suddenly opened his eyes.

Jiang Huiyi was so scared that she took a step back and almost fell to the ground.

The reason was simple. Duan Hongji's eyes were too indifferent at that moment. Staring at her with those seemingly inorganic eyes, Jiang Huiyi almost felt like she was just a lifeless piece of glass.

However, when he looked at him again, the cold look had disappeared. Duan Hongji had closed his eyes again and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Jiang Huiyi wanted to doubt whether it was her illusion just now. But her reason told her that it would be better not to disturb her current boss.

At the same time, she was secretly muttering in her heart that Duan Hongji's ears were too good and his sleep was too light. She had stepped so lightly, but Duan Hongji was still woken up.

------

Because of his enhanced five senses and the fact that the floor was uncomfortable, Zhao Ruoming tried for a long time but couldn't fall asleep naturally.

203 sneaked a nano mattress from the market in Vientiane Universe. It is thin and light, but can automatically adjust the hardness and temperature according to the human body. It is heat-insulating and moisture-proof, and can also perform sleep massage. In Vientiane Universe, where insomniacs are everywhere, this mattress is in short supply.

203 converted the old mattress under Zhao Ruoming into a string of data and quietly replaced it with a nano mattress. Zhao Ruoming felt much more comfortable under her body in a daze, and finally fell asleep reluctantly.

Zhao Ruoming had just fallen asleep when Room 203 detected Jiang Huiyi coming in. Although the woman's footsteps were very light, it was easy for her to wake Zhao Ruoming up.

In order to protect Zhao Ruoming's hard-earned sleep, 203 immediately took over Zhao Ruoming's body and added a layer of cover to her spiritual body to prevent her from being woken up by the noise.

When 203, who had taken over Zhao Ruoming's body, detected that Jiang Huiyi was getting closer and closer to the host and even stretched out her hand, he finally couldn't help but "open" his eyes - although according to the movement trajectory, it can be inferred that this woman wanted to touch the host's eyelashes. But this behavior is illogical. Why does the heroine of the novel touch the cannon fodder's face when she has nothing to do?

Fortunately, the moment it opened its eyes, Jiang Huiyi wisely backed away, and obediently lay back on the bed, falling asleep with her back to Zhao Ruoming.

Logic is back. 203 thought with satisfaction as he wrapped the host's spirit body.
