She glanced at Ye Tang again and saw that he was mechanically picking up food with chopsticks, expressionless. Mrs. Ye was so tired... She was obviously a very warm and kind person, so she didn't understand why she had given birth to such a cold and short-spoken son. That was her fault.

"No, I'm not tired. Thank you, mom!" Lu Yichen quickly picked up the bowl and took the fish, silently having her meal.

"Tang, how's the latest round of financing going? I heard that others are already ready to take action. You have to hurry up. Don't let them take advantage of the loophole." Ye Tang's father tried to make his son say more to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Dad, I'm following up. Don't worry."

...

The atmosphere was freezing,

"Tang, your mother has recently taken a fancy to a feeding-bottle." Ye Tang's father broke the silence once again and said in a business-like tone.

"..." Mrs. Ye was innocent to take it.

"Uh..." Lu Yichen thought to herself what an interesting try for their urge for baby it was. Then she choked on her rice. "Cough, cough, cough..."

"Oh, kid, eat slowly." The housekeeper brought a pot of water and Lu Yichen gulped it down, trying to hide the embarrassment on her face.

Now the words of the urge for baby had been so advanced with the times! It didn't make anyone know it meant their eagerness at all!

"We're trying." Ye Tang replied coldly.

Not surprisingly, Lu Yichen calmly responded, trying to squeeze out a smile, "Yes, dad, we are trying hard!"

Lu Yichen wondered if this day was really coming. They always slept in separate rooms.

The timeline went back to a month ago.

Ye family mansion is bustling for the second son of Ye family who was famous in this city was getting married soon.

Many luxury cars parked in front of the Ye family mansion. It was unprecedented to see such a lively scene. All the big shots and socialites walked slowly on the red carpet.

Ye Tang's parents was filled with joy. Their son, whom they had been worrying about for years, finally got married, so they happily chatted with all the guests.

The Ye family mansion was magnificent, and the warm light from the chandelier added some luster and brightness to the environment. This was a grand wedding, but it rejected all the media, only some of the leading businessmen and political rich businessmen received the invitation, which showed that it was a low-key wedding.

Lu Yichen was dressed in a pure white dress with long skirts. The dress had flowers stitched around the waist, and her body curve was clearly visible. The dress was made by Smill, the chief designer of the famous Italian brand, using high-quality natural materials. It took a year to make and cost nearly $5 million. As she walked on the red carpet, everyone's eyes gathered at her. Her delicate figure slowly walked to the front, led by a middle-aged man over 40 years old beside her. The man standing in front of the god stage was dressed in a black tuxedo. His eyes exuded a gentleness as he held a rose in his hand and stared intently at the woman who was walking towards him.

As the bride and groom kissed, the audience burst into applause. Under the emcee's guidance, the two finished the final ceremony.

It was just a formality for Lu Yichen.

For Ye Tang, it was almost the same.

It was just a business marriage, from which everyone took what they wanted. Merry meet, merry apart.

With Lu Yichen's personality, getting married would kill her. When she was young, her parents had both died in an accident, and she received a large sum of compensation. Where should she go when she was only seven or eight years old? It was her uncle who adopted her. Because of her uncle, she was saved in danger and had received the best education since she was young. Logically speaking, at the moment when her uncle's company was in crisis, she should do her utmost to save the last glimmer of hope. Financial crisis occurred in her uncle's company, who were in need of a financing to maintain the normal operation of the company.

When she appeared on Ye Tang's path for the sixth time, the luxurious car slowly stopped and the window was rolled down. The man in the car looked at her meaningfully and opened his thin lips, "Come on!"

"Mr. Ye, are you willing to talk to me?" Lu Yichen jumped into the car without a word and asked innocently, "Just a sum of money, please."

This business transaction was not something that one could ask for. No one would want to do something without benefits. She had just took on the world and clearly did not understand this. She just stared at the man beside her, as if she was a child begging her mother to buy a toy.

"Do you think it is so easy to take the money?" The man did not show a trace of emotion in his eyes. He knocked on the window and said coldly.

"I can promise you anything!" After Lu Yichen finished speaking, she regretted it. She thought about what he did not have and what he lacked, but found that he lacked nothing at all.

"I've been lacking in things lately." The man's gaze suddenly turned to her and he said arbitrarily.

"What is it?"

"A wife."

The air suddenly became quiet. What he meant was obvious.

Lu Yichen had worked hard for more than 20 years. The way she led her life was plain, like a textbook. She studied for exams step by step, and she never thought that Ceo's story would happen to her. She, who had once threatened to get married late or even not, had become the first to get married in her circle. On the night before the wedding, Lu Yichen insisted on staying in her aunt's room for a night. She had always been strong, but at that moment, she became the softest girl. She no longer smiled and did not joke around. She was more afraid of the unknown man than getting married itself.

At night, a group of people rushed to the wedding room, and each of them played a bit of punster spirit to make some well-timed and suggestive jokes. When the enthusiasm faded, only two people left in such a big wedding room.

The atmosphere reached a peak of ambivalence, and the two sat together in silence.

"Uh," he chuckled, "do you want to sleep?" Lu Yichen broke the silence first. She secretly had a plan in her mind. If he said he would sleep, she would immediately carry the blanket to sleep on the stool, and it would be great if he said he would not sleep.

"If you're sleepy, you can sleep first." Ye Tang stood up and took off his black coat. He turned around and said to her leisurely, "But..."

"Yes?"

"You want to sleep in a wedding dress?" The corner of Ye Tang's mouth were slightly up, and the back of his hand touched his nose, as if trying to hide his smile.

"Ah?" Lu Yichen looked at the pure white dress that was wrapped around her under her body. She gently pushed it aside and stood up, and then she hurriedly went to the wardrobe to find a few nightgowns and rushed into the bathroom.

One step, two steps, three steps... Just as she was about to step into the bathroom, she tripped over her long skirt in a hurry and slammed her head against the door. Lu Yichen felt pain holding her head, "Oh! It hurts!"

"..." Ye Tang looked at her stumbling figure and pretended to go over to help her. She quickly rushed into the bathroom and the man behind her smiled at the charming figure.

Lu Yichen looked at her messy self in the mirror. Her delicate makeup was already destroyed. She raised her hand to reach for the zipper of her dress.

Down, down again, finally she reached the chain. She pulled it hard, but it did not move. She pulled it again but failed again. It was awkward...
