Lin Bao felt that after the age of twenty, she might have really turned her luck around.

He first started working at a well-known tech company and met his superior, Xu Feifei. She was beautiful, with a slender waist, the epitome of a rich and beautiful woman. If he were lucky, perhaps their story would unfold like in novels, with something happening between him and his boss. But he never expected his luck to be so good!

He actually married his boss, becoming a wealthy in-law.

"I'm tired of fighting, I want to find a rich woman." This kind of joke, it turns out, is true.

The sound of Ling Ling's phone alarm woke Lin Bao from his slumber. He opened his eyes abruptly, taking in the large bed before him, and finally let out a sigh of relief. It had already been a month since their wedding, yet he still hadn't adjusted to the reality that it wasn't just a dream.

In the living room, Xu Feifei, who had woken up early, was already standing at the door, hastily putting on her high heels, her figure curvy and alluring. Wearing a bag, her gaze became even more penetrating.

Lin Bao was in his prime, and seeing such a beautiful sight early in the morning was bound to stir him up. But he understood that when it came to meals, one had to have the right mindset. His impulsive thoughts were quelled, replaced by an honest facade as he said quietly, "You're up early."

“The company has something to attend to, so I might not be able to go to the hospital tomorrow to see your mother. You should go yourself.” Xu Feifei glanced at her husband and said, “I’ve transferred you to the logistics department.”

The tone was unmistakable, with no room for negotiation. The door was closed.

Lin Bao smelled the lingering scent of Xu Feifei's perfume, shook his head and sighed. This was probably the only price to pay for eating a meal, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Besides the wedding ceremony on her wedding day, she has never been there.

A son-in-law, known as a "zeyi" in ancient times and popularly referred to as "daomen,"

Such a role is not very attractive to men, as they have little status in the home after marriage. This was true in the past and remains true today.

Lin Bao can spoil his wife, and he does so without any arranged marriage or similar pressures. He doesn't understand why himself, but he genuinely admires Fei Fei.

Xu Feifei was willing to pay for all of his terminally ill mother's medical expenses, on the condition that he marry her in name only, legally and officially, but they would not share a bed or interfere with each other’s lives.

Both saved her mother and lived a life of wealth, this seems like there's no price to pay at all.

Lin Bao didn't even think twice before signing the sales agreement, and the two of them got married quickly. In their early twenties, they started living a life of leisure.

Of course, in his heart, eating was the most difficult skill, with wind and strength.

From the front desk receptionist to colleagues in other departments, almost everyone ridiculed him. Backstabbing gossip about "the Rice-Bowl Man" was inescapable, and the atmosphere of contempt for him permeated the entire company. He felt like he was constantly being glared at, which made it unbearable for a man with any pride.

Fortunately, Lin Bao is shameless.

Hehe, they're just jealous.

Because Xu Feifei transferred him to logistics, colleagues from his original department all asked him to treat them to dinner. In fact, they looked down on him and wanted to take advantage of him. Lin Bao didn't mind, and generously treated everyone to dinner that night.

"Bao Ge, aren't you having any main course?"

"I've already broken this bad habit of mine. Lobster is filling enough, why eat staple food? Just go ahead and enjoy it, this is both my treat for you and a way of representing Mr. Xu hosting you all." Lin Bao did not forget to win people over on behalf of Xu Feifei.

The others laughed even more bitterly.

Wang Zhen smiled and said, "It seems Bao Ge and Xu Zong get along well. They even transferred you to logistics. That place is full of good things."

The Logistics Department is said to be full of opportunities, but the whole company belongs to Hsu Fei-fei. Can Lin Pao go fishing for his wife's benefits? Wang Zhen's words were clearly mocking him, laughing at him that he's so useless he couldn't even get a share and was relegated to a dead-end job, proving he's good for nothing.

Lin Baizui's ruthlessness, of course, could understand the mockery in his words. Taking advantage of everyone's feasting and merriment, he grabbed Wang Zhen's neck and whispered, "Brother, even if I don't go to work now, I wouldn't worry about food and clothing, but you, for your marriage, you have to work hard to earn money for a house, and for your children, you have to work hard to make money. You can never relax in your life. Our two realms are already different. If laughing at me makes you feel better, just laugh as much as you like. I'm fine."

Wang Zhen's face turned green after hearing this. He bit into his crab claw, but couldn't taste anything. All he felt was bitterness in his stomach. He didn't say another word for the rest of the meal.

Lin Bao never thought that slapping someone in the face was an effective counter-attack; he believed that killing them with a knife to their heart was. After twenty years as a poor man, he naturally knew how to pierce through a poor person's pride with one blow.

Not until everyone had finished their meal did Wang Zhen recover some of his composure. As they were leaving, he patted Lin Bao's shoulder and said, "Aren't you afraid that one day you'll be back to having nothing? After all, the wealth you have now doesn't belong to you."

"Oh?" Lin Bao widened his eyes and nodded approvingly. "You finally found the right way to counter, that's right. I have to eat smart to keep my current comfortable life. This is a real skill."

Wang Zhen let out a chuckle and looked at Lin Bao's lower half, "What kind of technique?"

"Go away, you're getting twisted." Lin Baoke was truly resentful now, having no way to get back at Xu Feifei. She had the skill but no chance to use it.

Although the marriage contract stipulated no cohabitation, after all, they were married. Over time, something would inevitably happen. Thinking about this, Lin Bao hurried home because he knew that Xu Feifei also had a social engagement tonight, which definitely meant drinking. After drinking, anything could happen, and I'd be the one writing the script.

Returning to the villa, as soon as I stepped in, I saw a pair of men's shoes by the door. Lin Bao was startled and saw a well-dressed man sitting in the living room, his mannerisms exuding an air of sophistication.

At this time, Xu Feifei walked out of the bathroom, wearing a thin nightgown. Her face was flushed, and her big eyes blinked in surprise as she said, "You're back early. This is Zhang Zian."

Lin Bao politely nodded. Besides her name, Xu Feifei introduced nothing. He returned to his room with boredom. He was used to having guests at home.

Hsu Fei-fei is new to the company and often invites some senior executives home for private chats. She aims to build her own trusted team as quickly as possible.

Lin Bao, who had just returned to the house, suddenly felt something was wrong. Xu Feifei never wore pajamas when talking business with people. She said she had an appointment today but didn't seem to have drunk any alcohol at all. Moreover, it was around 10 o'clock now, which wasn't their usual time for discussions. She was always very punctual.

Lin Bao couldn't sit still at once, curiously opened the door, but didn't expect that the living room was turned off. Xu Feifei and Zhang Zian were sitting on the sofa together watching a movie.

It's not really a matter of talking…

Although the two of them weren't doing anything overtly flirtatious, sitting on opposite sides of the room, the atmosphere was definitely not a business meeting.

In a month, they only ate dinner together a handful of times. He didn't know much about Xu Feifei, just that she was aloof and mysterious, a powerful figure with a strong presence. He knew this marriage wasn't real, but the scene before him felt so unbelievably real...

At that moment, hushed whispers from the living room reached Lin Bao's ears.

Next month's Hong Kong Film Festival will have a Billy Wilder retrospective. If you have time, we could go together.

"Yeah, I like his Sunset Boulevard and The Peach Apartment." An uncharacteristic smile graced Hsu Fei-fei's usually icy face.

Lin was stunned. What kind of person would someone smile at like that?

But you're so busy, do you really have time?

I'll try my best.

Indeed, a sea of red rage! It almost made him forget his rationality.

The movie had ended in the living room, and Lin Bao immediately pressed his ear to the door. He could clearly hear footsteps, and they were two sets of footsteps, climbing up the stairs together. Upstairs was Xu Feifei's bedroom. It was already past eleven o'clock...

"Damn it…" Lin Bao Zhang's jaw dropped, suddenly recalling their entire marriage. Xu Feifei, a rich heiress, why would she choose him, a poor man? She took advantage of everything, all just to put the label of an honest man on him?

What a grudge!
