Xia Feng hummed a little tune, driving in high spirits as he arrived at the large market he often visited.
“Boss, give me an old hen, pick a fatter one! And give me 1 kilogram of the freshest oysters!”
Xia Feng calculated in his mind.
Liu Ruyan had been exhausted yesterday, so she needed proper nourishment.
Old hen soup could greatly replenish vitality.
As for the oysters… hehe, he also needed some nourishment himself.
After buying the main ingredients, he skillfully turned into a nearby traditional medicine shop and picked out several herbs to stew together with the old hen.
Things like angelica, astragalus, red dates, and goji berries were all perfectly matched.
After finishing his purchases, Xia Feng carried two large bags of “spoils” with satisfaction and drove his flashy red Maserati back toward the villa.
…
While Xia Feng was busy shopping, inside the master bedroom of the villa, Liu Ruyan finally woke up groggily from the bed.
She felt like she had slept for an entire century.
There was no helping it. She had barely slept at all last night, and she didn’t have Xia Feng’s abnormal level of physical stamina. Being able to sleep until now and wake up only at this point already meant her physical foundation was quite good.
Still half-asleep, she stretched lazily, and the silky quilt slid down along her smooth body.
In an instant, her fair and delicate figure, which had just been covered, was revealed.
As she stretched, her body tensed slightly, outlining her perfectly curved figure. Every inch of her seemed to radiate a dangerous kind of allure.
“Hiss…”
Liu Ruyan moved slightly, feeling that her body was still a bit sore and weak, but compared to the feeling of almost falling apart earlier in the morning, it was already much better.
She slowly climbed out of bed, barefoot, and walked into the spacious bathroom.
Her reflection appeared in the mirror.
Looking at the traces left on her body, her pretty face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but lightly spit in embarrassment.
“That bad guy… he’s really like a brute…”
Although she said that, the sweetness and affection in her eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.
…
After a while, Liu Ruyan changed into a loose and comfortable silk nightgown and leaned back against the soft headboard again.
She picked up her phone.
Opening the notes app, her expression became serious, as if she were drafting an extremely important business plan.
The title at the top of the note was shockingly clear: [Candidate List for Sisters].
She was about to start selecting.
A woman who could help her share the burden, yet someone she could trust completely.
The selection criteria had to be extremely strict.
First, it had to be someone she knew personally and could trust.
Only by knowing their background well could she control the situation, preventing the possibility of inviting trouble into her home and ending up losing both her husband and everything else.
Second, she had to be beautiful.
This was a hard requirement. How could her husband’s woman look unattractive? It would be embarrassing to take her out. Of course, it would be best if she wasn’t much prettier than herself.
Third, her personality had to be good.
She couldn’t be the scheming, trouble-making type. Otherwise, the household would be in chaos every day.
These three points were the most important.
In her mind, Liu Ruyan quickly filtered through all the women related to Xia Feng.
Company colleagues? No, too messy, and she didn’t know them.
Former classmates? Most were already married with children, so that wouldn’t work either.
After thinking it through, a name finally surfaced clearly in her mind.
Su Qingxue. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Xia Feng’s university classmate, now his partner and boss.
Liu Ruyan’s impression of this woman was deeply etched.
Back in their university days, whenever she eagerly ran to find Xia Feng, eight out of ten times she would see Su Qingxue with him.
Either in the library, the study room, or eating together in the cafeteria.
Their closeness had made her complain to Chen Mi countless times back then.
At one point, she had even regarded Su Qingxue as her greatest romantic rival.
But later, she realized something.
That blockhead Xia Feng truly saw Su Qingxue as nothing more than a pure friend, without any romantic intentions.
On the contrary…
The way Su Qingxue looked at Xia Feng always felt a bit off.
She had noticed it while looking in the mirror.
That kind of gaze was too familiar. It was exactly the same look she herself had when she looked at Xia Feng.
However, after graduation, although the two had partnered to start a game company, they had remained just friends and business partners all these years, with no real progress.
So Liu Ruyan gradually stopped paying attention to her.
But now…
Things were different.
Liu Ruyan rubbed her chin, her gaze turning slightly playful.
After experiencing that terrifying night yesterday…
She felt that Su Qingxue, who had long harbored intentions toward her husband, was actually a good candidate to develop further.
In terms of looks, she was undoubtedly a top-tier beauty, no worse than herself.
As for personality, from the few interactions she had, Su Qingxue seemed gentle and sweet, unlikely to be someone who caused trouble.
Most importantly, she had liked Xia Feng for so many years!
If she were really given a chance, wouldn’t she be endlessly grateful and call her “sister”? She would be completely under control.
Yes, it would be her!
The more Liu Ruyan thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.
She had even started planning in her mind how to create an opportunity to naturally bring Su Qingxue into the picture.
Just as Liu Ruyan’s little head was filled with all sorts of messy and random thoughts, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
Xia Feng returned to the villa carrying two large bags of ingredients.
After putting everything in the kitchen and handling the old hen and some ingredients that needed refrigeration, he came upstairs to check whether Liu Ruyan had woken up.
The moment he entered, he saw Liu Ruyan wearing a loose nightgown, lazily leaning against the headboard.
She held her phone, completely absorbed in whatever she was looking at, so focused that she didn’t even notice his arrival.
Her concentration made it seem like she was studying some world-class problem.
Xia Feng smiled and quietly walked over.
Leaning down beside her, he let out a warm breath by her ear.
“Wife, what are you looking at so intently?”
Liu Ruyan shuddered slightly but naturally turned off her phone screen.
She placed the phone aside and smiled at Xia Feng.
“Nothing, I was just looking at a company report my secretary sent me.”
As if to make her words more convincing, she changed the subject and struck back.
She puffed up her cheeks, glaring at Xia Feng, and poked his chest with her finger.
“It’s all your fault! I couldn’t even go to the company to handle work today! Hmph!”
Seeing her pouting expression, Xia Feng smiled.
He leaned forward and kissed her puffed-up cheek.
He held her mischievous finger and asked gently, “Then, my dear wife, can you forgive me this once?”
Liu Ruyan said nothing.
She simply withdrew her hand and gently placed her slender, fair finger on her moist, full lips.
Then she blinked her watery eyes and quietly looked at him.
This wasn’t just a hint. It was practically an open invitation.
Xia Feng understood instantly.
He chuckled softly, reached out to hold her delicate chin, and leaned down to kiss her directly.
Only after a full five minutes did the two finally separate, both breathing heavily.
Liu Ruyan’s face was flushed like she was drunk, her eyes misty, her whole body soft as she leaned into Xia Feng’s arms, breathing lightly.
Looking at her charming appearance, Xia Feng swallowed, but considering her condition, he restrained himself.
“Go sit outside and wait. I’ve already started the soup. I’ll stir-fry a couple of dishes, and dinner will be ready soon.”
Hearing that Xia Feng had already started cooking, Liu Ruyan immediately perked up.
She straightened up from his arms and volunteered eagerly, “Let me help you! When men and women work together, the work is easier, right?”
Hearing this, Xia Feng immediately recalled how she had managed to turn herself into a drenched mess just washing dishes last night.
He couldn’t help but pinch her soft cheek.
“Forget it, CEO Liu.”
He teased, “If you don’t blow up my kitchen, I’ll already be grateful.”
“You!”
Liu Ruyan remembered last night’s embarrassment, her face turning red.
Even though she knew she would only cause trouble, hearing Xia Feng say it so bluntly still made her unhappy.
She crossed her arms, turned her head away, and looked clearly displeased.
“Hmph! I’m angry!”
“I need a big hug to be comforted!”
Seeing her acting cute like this, what could Xia Feng do?
He could only indulge her.
Without another word, Xia Feng bent down and scooped her up in a princess carry, effortlessly lifting her from the bed.
“Ah!”
Liu Ruyan let out a small cry, naturally wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, a happy smile appearing on her face.
Xia Feng carried her to the dining room.
Then he gently placed her onto a chair by the table.
“Be good and wait here. I’ll finish everything quickly.”
After saying that, he turned and walked into the kitchen, continuing to prepare dinner.
Watching Xia Feng’s tall figure busy in the kitchen, listening to the sounds of chopping and stir-frying, Liu Ruyan’s lips unconsciously curved upward.
Her heart was filled to the brim with something called happiness.
During the day, he was always so gentle and considerate, pampering her like she was the most precious thing in the world.
But at night…
Thinking of last night, Liu Ruyan’s cheeks heated up again.
At night, he became so strong, so domineering, so tireless, making it impossible for her to even think about refusing.
This intense contrast made her addicted, and at the same time… afraid.
“As expected…”
Liu Ruyan made a firm decision in her heart.
“This matter of finding a ‘sister’ must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!”
“Otherwise, if this continues, forget going to the company to work… I’m afraid I won’t even be able to get out of bed!”
