After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

The two chased and played around in the living room for a while.

Xia Yu was already sore all over, and she ran out of energy after only a few steps. She collapsed onto the sofa, panting, and glared fiercely at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye walked over, sat down next to her, and casually pulled her into his arms.

This time, Xia Yu didn't struggle; she just gave him a symbolic punch to the chest and then obediently leaned against him. Although she had been tricked by this bastard, she was still happy to have gotten the project.

The living room fell silent.

Jiang Ye played with Xia Yu's slender fingers, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Xia Yu, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

"What?" Xia Yu replied lazily.

"Why do you value the Cloud Top Town project so much?" Jiang Ye turned to look at her profile. "As far as I know, Blue Ocean Group's performance has been very stable in recent years, and its cash flow is healthy. Even if we don't get this project, you'll still be living a comfortable life. Why do you, a girl, have to work so hard? Yesterday, in that kind of situation, those two glasses of 53-proof liquor, weren't you afraid of getting a stomach hemorrhage?"

Upon hearing this question, the relaxed expression on Xia Yu's face gradually disappeared.

She remained silent for a long time, so long that Jiang Ye thought she didn't want to answer, before she finally let out a slow sigh.

"Blue Ocean Group was founded by my father." Xia Yu's voice became somewhat low:

"When my dad passed away, he held my brother's and my hands and told me that I must protect the Blue Ocean Group and make it the greatest company in Hanzhou and even the whole province."

"I promised him, and I will definitely keep my promise."

"From the outside, Blue Ocean Group seemed to be incredibly successful, but in reality, there had been undercurrents within the company for a long time. My brother left later, and his departure was too sudden. The veterans and shareholders who had worked with him to build the company didn't respect me, this young girl. They thought that because I was young and a woman, I would eventually ruin the company."

"For the past three years, I have been walking on thin ice every day. Every decision and every project has someone watching me closely. If I make even the slightest mistake, they will unite to oust me from the position of president and then divide up the company."

"The Genting Town project is my best chance to prove myself. If I can secure it and partner with Kunlun Capital, I can proudly tell my brother and father that I have lived up to their expectations."

After hearing Xia Yu's words, Jiang Ye felt as if he had been struck hard by something.

He had always thought Xia Yu was a cold-blooded, ruthless, and profit-driven businesswoman. Only now did he realize how much grievance, pressure, and untold bitterness lay hidden beneath her icy, hard exterior.

She single-handedly carried the last wishes of her father and brother, faced the scheming of a group of cunning old foxes, and fought her way through the cutthroat world of the business world.

Jiang Ye looked at her slightly red eyes and felt a strong pang of heartache.

He stretched out his arms and embraced Xia Yu, resting his chin on the top of her head and gently stroking it.

At this point, words of comfort are superfluous.

Jiang Ye gently patted her back and suddenly said, "Xia Yu, I need to discuss something with you."

"Hmm?" Xia Yu lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes still misty.

"From now on, you'll move in with me? You don't need to come every day, just three or four days a week is fine."

Xia Yu was stunned, and two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks.

"Move...move in with you? This...this isn't appropriate, is it? We..."

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Ye interrupted her matter-of-factly. "We have a legitimate two-tiered relationship now. First, you're supporting me, giving me 20,000 yuan a month. Second, we're collaborating on the Cloud Top Town project. There are many details to coordinate for the project. With you living here, it will be easier for us to... have in-depth discussions about the project later."

"Well... okay then." Xia Yu bit her lip, her voice barely audible, "But it's a deal, I'll only stay 2 to 3 days a week, and... and you can't always bully me."

"No problem, I promise I won't bully you." Jiang Ye's mouth immediately stretched to his ears when he saw that she had agreed.

He suddenly picked Xia Yu up from the sofa and strode towards the bedroom.

Xia Yu looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes, gritting her teeth as she cursed, "You bastard... what's your zodiac sign? Are you a male dog with a strong back?!"

Jiang Ye chuckled softly and lowered his head to seal her lips with a kiss.

"Mr. Xia will find out my zodiac sign soon enough..."

.....

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two took a nap after exercising.

After waking up, Jiang Ye felt refreshed.

He leaned against the headboard, casually pulling a thin blanket over Xia Yu to keep her warm. Looking at the female CEO in his arms, who was usually ruthless and cold in the business world, now sleeping unguarded beside him, Jiang Ye couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He reached for his phone on the bedside table, glanced at the time, and since he had nothing else to do, he unlocked the screen and tapped a familiar icon.

"Timi—"

A crisp game start sound rang out in the quiet bedroom.

Jiang Ye doesn't have many other hobbies. Besides riding motorcycles, he occasionally plays "Honor of Kings" to pass the time.

He had just logged into the game and hadn't even opened the ranked match when Xia Yu, who had been sleeping soundly next to him, suddenly stirred.

She groggily opened her eyes, rubbed her slightly messy hair, and looked at the phone screen in Jiang Ye's hand, following the sound.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yu's voice was hoarse and languid, as if she had just woken up.

"Just killing time, playing a couple of games," Jiang Ye replied casually without looking up. "Did I wake you up?"

Xia Yu stared at the familiar interface on his screen for two seconds, then suddenly perked up, propped herself up on her aching arms, and sat up in bed, resting her chin on Jiang Ye's shoulder.

"You play King of Glory?" Xia Yu blinked, seemingly a little surprised.

Jiang Ye turned his head, looked at her face so close to his, and raised an eyebrow: "What? You big CEOs are allowed to look at reports all day, but I, an unemployed bum, am not allowed to play games?"

"No..." Xia Yu pouted, "I'll play too."

Now it was Jiang Ye's turn to be surprised.

He sized Xia Yu up and down. This woman, who usually wore bespoke business attire and ten-centimeter heels, commanded a group of seasoned veterans in the conference room. This workaholic actually played this kind of youthful MOBA game?

"You really want to play?" Jiang Ye was a little skeptical. "What rank are you? You're not just some bronze player who only knows how to play Yao and hang on other people's heads, are you?"

"You're the bronze level one!" Xia Yu's competitive spirit was aroused by him. She turned around, grabbed her phone from the bedside table, unlocked it skillfully, and opened the game icon.

"I'm the highest-ranked player, okay!" Xia Yu said arrogantly as she logged into the game. "Besides, I never play those support heroes."

"Oh? What are you going to play?" Jiang Ye became interested and moved closer to her.

Xia Yu opened his personal profile page, pointed to the hero he frequently played with an extremely high win rate, and said with a serious expression, "I only play Meng Tian."

Jiang Ye was stunned.

Meng Tian?

That tough warrior hero who wields a spear and shield, summons four minions with his ultimate skill, and stands at the forefront of team fights, absorbing damage like a bulldozer?
