Ye Xu paused and looked at Ruan Ling.

The young man's eyes reminded Ruan Ling of a kitten that he had raised at home before.

It was a rescued stray cat, and when it first arrived home, it was exactly the same vigilant look.

Adults' precautions are often covered with a layer of camouflage, unlike Ye Xu, which is obvious and undisguised.

Sure enough, no matter how precocious and introverted he is, he is still a teenager after all.

Ruan Ling patted the sofa beside him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his tone was brisk: "I have something I want to ask you." ”

Ye Xu saw Ruan Ling's movements, but he stood still and didn't move, his movements and expressions all revealed resistance.

Ruan Lingmian added without changing his face: "It won't be too long, it will take you ten minutes." ”

Ye Xu hesitated for a few more seconds, and finally spoke: "What's the matter?" ”

He thought that if the other party mentioned Qiao Yue, then he would just take this opportunity to express his attitude with her.

Regarding Ye Jingchi's marriage itself, Ye Xu has no opinion. But if the person tries to meddle in his life, then he will not go along with it.

Ruan Ling glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and then smiled at Ye Xu: "What did you eat at noon today?" ”

……

Ye Xu thought at first that Ruan Ling was talking nonsense, but she just wanted to do some foreshadowing first, so as to lead to the topic she really wanted to ask.

In the future, he will have to live under the same roof, and he doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff, so he responds perfunctorily.

However, after a few minutes, Ye Xu felt that something was wrong.

Ruan Ling seemed to be really just interested in the menu in the school cafeteria, and didn't ask about his personal affairs at all.

She has a sharp mouth, and she uses various tone words to set off the atmosphere. The two asked and answered, and at first glance they even gave people the illusion that they were talking happily.

"Really? And a dedicated dessert section? Ruan Ling looked envious, "It's so good, it's worthy of a private school, and the food is much better than when I was in school." What's that dessert? ”

This question made Ye Xu silent for a moment.

He doesn't like sweets and hardly goes to the dessert section. However, Su Junruo often asked him to have lunch with Chen Songyang, and often bought desserts over there.

Ye Xu carefully recalled what they were, it seemed that there were egg tarts, and tiramisu or something.

Then he slowly realized that he was really thinking seriously about Ruan Ling's question.

Ye Xu raised his head and found that Ruan Ling was looking at him with bright eyes. It's as if there's something in the dessert section that really matters to her.

For a moment, Ye Xu had a thought about whether she was wrong, and a subtle guilt rose in his heart.

However, it was only for a moment.

Ye Xu said expressionlessly: "I don't know." ”

"That's right." Ruan Ling sighed in disappointment, "Then you definitely don't know if it's good or not." ”

Ye Xu: "......"

Ruan Ling glanced up at the wall clock on the wall, and then yawned.

"I'm back in my room." Ruan Ling waved his hand.

The "mission decision successful" prompt sounds, and it's time to end the conversation.

.

Ruan Ling's room is on the second floor, although it is not the master bedroom, but the area and decoration are gorgeous, which is still many grades higher than any room Ruan Ling has lived in before.

Rich people are very good at enjoying it, especially when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Ruan Ling lay on the soft bed, admiring the intricate patterns on the ceiling.

[It's a pity, you should have taken this opportunity to express your concern for your stepson and brush up on your favorability. 】

Ruan Ling: "What's the use?" So that when I get divorced, he can persuade his father to give me more money? ”

【…… It's not impossible. 】

Ruan Ling: "I think it's more reliable to count on myself. Speaking of which, Do I have a job? ”

[There used to be, but after marrying Ye Jingchi, you quit your job. 】

Ruan Ling: "It's a pity. ”

The system comforted her: [It's okay, it's just a very ordinary clerk job. Your salary is low, and your relationship with your colleagues is not very good. 】

Ruan Ling: "That's even more a pity. ”

【？ 】

Ruan Ling: "As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown, it's like walking at night in brocade." I'm a wealthy wife now, but I can't show off in front of my annoying colleagues, how boring. ”

【……】

Probably speechless by Ruan Ling's reasoning, the system stopped talking, just so that Ruan Ling had time to think quietly about the current situation.

In the list of personal assets that the system listed for her just now, there are hundreds of thousands of cash and several properties, and more than 10,000 yuan of rent can be recorded a month.

She was new to the city, and it was not wise to deal with the original owner's properties until the situation was fully understood, and it was safer to maintain the status quo for the time being.

Ruan Ling asked the system some questions about the original owner's father, Ruan Mingwei, but most of the answers were unknown.

Thinking about it, as a cannon fodder supporting role, it would be good for the author to explain her own situation clearly.

Now Ruan Ling has three choices, concentrate on being a full-time wife, or find a job as easy as before the original owner, or ......

Ruan Ling thought of her dream before the time travel - to open a photography studio.

When she was in college, her biggest hobby was photography, and she also earned some extra money from it, but unfortunately she couldn't continue due to various practical factors.

Now that she has leisure and money, isn't it a good opportunity to make up for her regrets?

Material is the foundation of everything, what I have always wanted to do but dare not do, after having the identity of a wealthy wife, I finally have the confidence to try.

In my previous life, Ruan Ling specifically understood that a small photography studio can be done by one person, and the preliminary preparation is not too complicated, and the main difficulty lies in publicity and customer source.

However, she still doesn't know how this novel is different from the world she lived in before, so she needs to study it again, and it is better to do a field trip.

After thinking about this, Ruan Ling immediately began to search for information on the Internet.

Ruan Ling asked the housekeeper that Ye Jingchi was very busy with his work, and he hardly ate dinner at home, and usually arrived home very late.

This is exactly what Ruan Ling wants, she can't wait to see each other every day.

As for the stepson just now, it is estimated that he will not take the initiative to appear in her field of vision, and he was also left behind by Ruan Ling.

You can try your dreams, Ruan Ling was very interested in checking the information, and when he came back to his senses, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening.

Ruan Ling felt a little hungry, so she walked out of the bedroom and prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat.

Pushing open the door and taking two steps, Ruan Ling found that the door of the study at the end of the corridor was hidden and the light was on.

The maid's room of the villa is on the first floor, and Ye Xu's bedroom and study are on the third floor upstairs, that is to say, most of the people in that room are Ye Jingchi.

It was too quiet at night and the slightest sound was noticeable.

Ruan Ling could clearly hear the slight sound of chair legs rubbing against the floor in the room, as well as the sound of footsteps.

Immediately after, a man walked out of the room.

The man is tall and straight, dressed in a white shirt and dark trousers, and can go straight to a formal meeting with a tie.

It is in stark contrast to Ruan Ling, who is wearing home clothes.

How could anyone dress so seriously at home in the middle of the night? Ruan Ling's first reaction was to complain in her heart.

[This is Ye Jingchi, Ye Xu's father, and the person in charge of the Ye Group. ] System introduction.

The two stood facing each other, and Ruan Ling quietly observed the man's appearance.

Only a dim wall lamp lit in the hallway, and the two of them were separated by a distance. Ruan Ling couldn't see clearly, and could only vaguely distinguish the man's deep facial features and angular face.

It is completely different from the image of a middle-aged businessman in Ruan Ling's imagination.

Ye Jingchi was also looking at Ruan Ling.

The man's expression was uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a few seconds of confrontation, his gaze shifted slightly.

Ruan Ling is barefoot, a habit she used to have when she lived alone. The villa was spotlessly cleaned by the servants, so she still doesn't wear slippers either.

Ye Jingchi's eyebrows raised without a trace, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Finally, the man spoke first.

Ye Jingchi's voice was low and magnetic, and the tail note rose slightly: "You want to go downstairs?" ”

Ruan Ling replied: "I'm a little hungry, go to the kitchen and find something to eat." ”

Ye Jingchi bowed: "Hmm." ”

The tone of the two was very flat, as if ordinary colleagues greeted each other after meeting in the pantry.

The man didn't mean to ask more, and Ruan Ling didn't plan to talk to him more, let alone ask him too much if he wanted to eat together.

Just kidding, will a domineering president eat supper in the middle of the night like her?

"Then I won't bother you with your work." After Ruan Ling finished speaking, he quickly went downstairs.

There was the sound of a woman's bare feet stepping on the wooden stairs in his ears, and Ye Jingchi's gaze stayed on Ruan Ling's back for a few seconds, thoughtful.

.

In the middle of the night, the maid in charge of cooking at home had rested, and there were no snacks in the refrigerator, so Ruan Ling fried two eggs for herself.

After eating supper, Ruan Ling passed by Ye Jingchi's study when he went back to the room and found that the light was still on.

Are CEOs so busy?

Ruan Ling suddenly asked, "How old is Ye Jingchi this year?" ”

[After this year's birthday, I will be thirty-four years old. 】

Ruan Ling asked again: "Does he work overtime to this time every day?" If I die suddenly, will I not be widowed? ”

She doesn't mind being a rich widow, but there is also a minor Ye Xu, and she doesn't want to be Ye Xu's only guardian.

【…… Ye's has been developing overseas business recently, and Ye Jingchi should be holding a remote cross-border meeting, and there is a time difference between the two sides, so he is still working overtime at such a late hour. 】

Ruan Ling nodded. I see, no wonder I still wear formal clothes in the middle of the night.

There was a bathroom in the bedroom, Ruan Ling went back to the room to wash up, and then climbed into the soft and comfortable big bed.

……

The next day, Ye Xu and Ye Jingchi were no longer in the villa.

Ruan Ling finished her lunch slowly at the restaurant, and was thinking about what else to experience and enjoy in this mansion, when she was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

She answered the phone.

"Lingling." On the opposite side was an unfamiliar male voice, "Didn't you promise me before to arrange a second male role for Haosen?" ”

Ruan Ling blinked.

Ha? What do you mean, she also raised a little white face outside?
