A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

As night fell, snow began to fall in the capital.

Inside the private villa on Yunxiang Road, the underfloor heating has been turned up to the most comfortable temperature.

Another weekend is approaching.

Jiang Chu returned to the villa in the afternoon and went straight to the gym. When Butler Wang came to inquire about dinner, she said she would wait.

When she was completely exhausted from exercising, she lay on the ground for a few minutes before she could barely get up and stagger upstairs to take a shower.

The room was very warm. She came out of the bathroom and changed into a cotton T-shirt and shorts with a cat pattern. Her long hair was loosely tied back with a hair clip.

There was a commotion downstairs.

Jiang Chu glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost eight o'clock.

She didn't care about anything else and ran briskly downstairs.

Xie Jing had just returned from outside, taking off his black cashmere coat that still carried the chill of the cold weather, and wearing only a crisp dark suit.

Because of another intense meeting not long ago, his brows still bore the traces of coldness and fatigue.

His already sharp jawline was taut, and his whole body exuded an aura of authority that kept strangers at bay.

But the moment he looked up and his gaze met that of the girl walking towards him, the chilling, ruthless aura of the business world emanating from him vanished in an instant.

"Don't get cold."

Xie Jing looked at her bare, fair legs and frowned slightly.

Before Jiang Chu could react, the man reached out and effortlessly swept her up in his arms.

"...It's so warm inside now!"

Jiang Chu took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his broad neck, sinking into his embrace that carried the scent of oak and the smell of snow.

Xie Jing carried her all the way to the living room and placed her steadily on the soft leather sofa. "I rushed back after the meeting, but the traffic was terrible today."

He explained in a low voice, his dark eyes fixed on the stunningly beautiful face before him, even without makeup.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

Jiang Chu tilted her head and asked.

Xie Jing loosened his tie. "I don't have time. I've been working non-stop for five hours straight. I just got out of the conference room and got into the car."

Jiang Chu blinked. "That's perfect! I haven't eaten either, let's eat together!"

Xie Jing's fingers, which were holding her calf, suddenly paused.

He slowly stood up, his tall and imposing figure instantly casting a shadow that left no one able to escape.

The man stretched out his two large, burning hot hands, cupped the girl's delicate and pretty face, and forced her to raise her head to meet his gaze.

"It's already eight o'clock, Jiang Chu."

Xie Jing's voice deepened, "You look like you just took a shower. Considering you don't have classes this afternoon, you must have been training for at least four or five hours after you got home—"

Jiang Chu grabbed his wrist. "You're so smart, great detective."

Xie Jing: "...What did you have for lunch at school today?"

Jiang Chu looked at him innocently, "Soup dumplings!"

Xie Jing: "How many?"

Jiang Chu's eyes flickered. "...Several."

Xie Jing looked at her silently.

"Okay," Jiang Chu surrendered, "two. I really didn't have an appetite at the time, but even though it was two, they were actually quite big."

Xie Jing raised an eyebrow. "How big is it?"

Jiang Chu gestured with her hand, "Well, it's really big."

"Really?" Xie Jing looked at her with a half-smile. "Next time I'll go to your school cafeteria and see those soup dumplings that are as big as washbasins."

"...Anyway, that's not important," Jiang Chu stood up. "And let's not even talk about me, what did you eat for lunch? Probably nothing!"

"But I'm always sitting in the office," Xie Jing pinched her cheek. "I'm not going to exercise for hours on an empty stomach."

"Mental work is work too!" Jiang Chu said, hands on her hips. "Let's not be like the pot calling the kettle black!"

Xie Jing sighed helplessly, "I just didn't want you to wait for me on an empty stomach."

Jiang Chu's ears burned a little. Embarrassed and annoyed, she twisted her head, trying to break free from his large hand's grasp, and stubbornly muttered, "Who, who was waiting for you! I'm just not hungry!"

A few seconds later, she tilted her head again and met the man's dark eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Okay," Jiang Chu said somewhat embarrassedly, tugging at his tie, and grumbled as she admitted, "I really did want to eat with you. Eating alone is so boring."

This tender and soft confession felt like a feather brushing against my heart.

Xie Jing looked down at the little girl in front of him.

...So cute.

How can someone be so cute!

"Tsk."

The man cursed under his breath, then suddenly leaned down and sealed those red lips that were always good at being coquettish with a kiss.

The kiss was tender and lingering, yet filled with restrained affection.

He gently pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue, savoring her sweetness, and then placed his large hands behind her head, pulling her into his arms.

"Ugh...no..."

Jiang Chu was dizzy from his kisses, and her hands weakly clung to his broad shoulders. "Let's eat first..."

Butler Wang stood to the side, about to ask if they wanted to eat now.

Upon seeing this, the old face, full of wrinkles, instantly broke into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Only after the two had completely separated did Butler Wang cough lightly as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, Jiang Chu was surprised to find that her boyfriend did not go directly to the study.

The man strode back to the hall, his long arms draped over the back of the sofa, looking calm and ready to enjoy his leisure time.

Jiang Chu held a cup of lemon tea. "Hmm? The chairman? He didn't go to the study to work overtime?"

Xie Jing looked up at her, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "What, you really want me to go to work? Do you find me in your way?"

No way.

Jiang Chu seized the opportunity, kicked off her slippers, and like a kitten, sat on the man's lap as if it were the most natural thing in the world, snuggling into his broad and warm embrace.

Xie Jing took the opportunity to put his arm around her slender waist, and took the tablet computer with his other hand.

"I'll show you something."

The man's deep voice sounded in her ear, and his warm breath sprayed on her sensitive neck, sending a shiver down her spine.

Jiang Chu curiously leaned closer, her gaze falling on the screen.

The screen displays 3D renderings of several top-tier luxury estates, along with macro-planning maps of the surrounding areas.

The images are exquisite. Whether it is the ancient and grand Xishan Courtyard or the modern and transparent Bailuwan Peninsula Villa, they can be called works of art in architectural history.

"What do you think?"

Xie Jing held her with one arm, while his other hand gently slid across the screen, switching between different angles and perspectives.

Jiang Chu blinked, her expression gradually becoming serious.

She guessed that this was one of Tianyu Group's major real estate investment projects.

"Hmm... the green coverage and the expansiveness of the waterways around Egret Bay are truly amazing."

Jiang Chu analyzed very seriously, "Moreover, from a macro planning perspective, this area belongs to the city's future ecological core area, so there is definitely no problem with the preservation and appreciation of this land value."

She turned to look at Xie Jing's handsome profile, which was so close to hers. "What about the other apartment types? Are they all similar? The overall plot ratio of the complex is quite low. Won't the initial capital recovery period be too long?"

Xie Jing's large hand around her waist suddenly tightened a little.

He raised an eyebrow in surprise, a hint of astonishment in his eyes, then a smile appeared on his face. "You went to tutoring?"

Jiang Chu raised her chin. "Of course, I read books, and I also read some news reports... related to the various business sectors of Tianyu Group!"

Xie Jing chuckled, his rough, long fingers reaching out to rub her pretty little face until it turned slightly red, before letting go amidst the girl's exasperated glare.

"Leaving aside project value assessment for now, purely from your personal preference—how do you feel about these aspects?"

Jiang Chu was taken aback by his question.

She looked at the several modern Chinese-style courtyard houses with secluded hot springs on the screen, and then at the peninsula mansions with panoramic views like crystal palaces.

"They're all great! They look like houses you'd only see in a video game..."

"Whatever you like is fine."

Xie Jing said calmly.

He swiped cleanly across the tablet screen and exited the app.

"Then it's settled."

"what?"

"These sets are all for you."

"..."
