"I was in such a hurry to get out that I forgot my wallet," Qiao Nuo said, sticking out her tongue, wearing an expression that clearly conveyed, "If you don't buy me something today, you're just a heartless man." 0
 
Was she really so shameless to act like this in public with a man she was meeting for the first time, pretending it was their first encounter? 0
 
Jin Chengyan chuckled lightly. "I'll buy it for you, but how do you plan to repay me?" He pulled out his wallet, which contained only a few bills and cards. However, when Qiao Nuo glanced at it, she noticed either a Platinum Card or a Black Card. How wealthy could this man be? 0
 
"So, sir, what kind of repayment do you want?" Qiao Nuo leaned slightly forward, her flirtatious aura unmistakable. 0
 
His hand casually rested on Qiao Nuo's waist, his fingers brushing lightly against her skin. He knew just how alluring her figure was beneath that outfit. 0
 
"Come with me?" 0
 
"Sure!" 0
 
Qiao Nuo responded cheerfully. 0
 
Meanwhile, the cashier behind the counter was utterly astonished. This pair had only been talking for a minute and already seemed to be heading off together? Was this really the rhythm of heading to bed? 0
 
She glanced at the items on the counter and thought to herself that they truly made a perfect match! 0
 
"Would you like them packaged separately or together?" The cashier hesitated, unsure of how to proceed. 0
 
"Together." 0
 
"Together." 0
 
 
The sudden understanding between them was almost palpable, and the clerk quickly wrapped up the transaction. The incredibly handsome man didn’t even want his change; he simply wrapped his arm around the woman and walked out! 0
 
To their surprise, they actually got into a car together. The vehicle hadn’t even started yet, but it began to vibrate slightly! 0
 
Goodness, they didn’t even have time to go to a hotel; were they going to resolve things in the car? 0
 
The cashier felt as if her entire worldview had collapsed. 0

However, the reality was quite different. 0
 
Once Qiao Nuo got into the car, she couldn’t help but laugh. The way she had teased Jin Chengyan earlier was just too funny. 0
 
She hadn’t expected him to play along; he certainly had a playful side. 0
 
“Ha! Jin Chengyan, you really are something. Who else could be the Golden Horse Best Actor if not you?” Playing the role of a charming, wayward rich young man suited Jin Chengyan perfectly. 0
 
Qiao Nuo laughed exuberantly in the car, not even bothering to buckle her seatbelt. 0
 
Seeing Qiao Nuo so delighted from her successful prank made him initially feel amused rather than angry. 0
 
He had found it somewhat entertaining to play along with her at the pharmacy, especially watching the astonished cashier; it had put him in a good mood. 0
 
However, now that they were in the car and Qiao Nuo was laughing like this, he felt a bit embarrassed. 0
 
 
“Qiao Nuo, stop laughing!” He threw a bag of condoms onto the back seat. 0
 
Qiao Nuo couldn't help but laugh, tears nearly spilling from her eyes. 0
 
He leaned closer, “If you keep laughing, I might just take you right now!” His hand gripped her shoulder, and if he had the chance, he might just rip her clothes off and bite down on her sensitive spot. 0
 
Qiao Nuo was startled by Jin Chengyan's sudden advance. She hurriedly tried to push him away, but he was determined, and there was no way she could resist. 0
 
The two of them began to wrestle in their seats. The car windows were tinted, making it impossible for anyone outside to see inside. To the cashier at the pharmacy, it looked like the two were engaged in something inappropriate. 0
 
In the end, Jin Chengyan sealed the moment with a fierce kiss on Qiao Nuo and then fastened her seatbelt before starting the car and driving toward Jin Mansion. 0

After Qiao Nuo became Jin Chengyan's legitimate wife and word got out, her life changed dramatically. 0
 
First of all, at the company, her boss who used to make her life difficult now treated her like a Young Madam, not daring to show her any displeasure! After all, she was the Boss's wife! 0
 
If the Young Madam was unhappy, you could be sure you'd be out of a job! 0
 
Of course, Qiao Nuo didn’t wield this newfound power; she continued to do what she needed to do and didn’t want anyone treating her differently. 0
 
As a result, she often attended high-profile events in place of those who were originally scheduled to go. 0
 
At the end of the day, Qiao Nuo was still an employee. There was no way she could refuse tasks assigned by her superiors. And although the company bore the Jin name, it truly belonged to the Qiao Family. 0
 
 
Qiao Nuo was, of course, dedicated to her work for the company. 0
 
Especially since the host of the banquet was the Ji Family, one of the top families in C City, who were looking to invest in Qin Cheng. Everyone wanted a piece of that pie! 0
 
Thus, Qiao Nuo resolutely took on this task. 0
 
Of course, behind her was the Jin Family Young Mistress, who had secured an invitation for her to attend the banquet. 0
 
In the past few days, she had conducted a thorough investigation into the Ji Family of C City. This enigmatic family had not ventured into business for many years and had primarily operated overseas. 0
 
However, in the last two years, they had shifted their focus to the domestic market, especially after the death of their eldest son. The Ji Family had almost entirely returned to C City. 0
 
The one coming to invest in Qin Cheng was the Ji Family's young master, Ji Nuan Yang. 0
 
When Qiao Nuo saw this name, she wondered if this young master from the Ji Family was a particularly warm-hearted man, which might explain such a name. 0
 
Qiao Nuo pulled herself back from her thoughts as she browsed through the boutique, eager to select a dress that would be suitable and elegant. 0
 
Jin Chengyan had previously asked Alice to prepare some outfits, but upon seeing those dresses, Qiao Nuo realized they were not her style at all. Thus, she had to come out and choose something herself. 0
 
"Young Madam, how may I assist you?" As soon as she entered the boutique, a staff member greeted her warmly. Qiao Nuo momentarily forgot that this was part of the Jin Family's enterprise. 0
 
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Qiao Nuo replied, "Please don’t call me Young Madam." She wasn't used to being addressed so casually by anyone; it felt outdated and unnecessary. 0
 
"I want that dress. Do you have it in my size?" Upon entering, Qiao Nuo immediately spotted a deep blue long gown displayed prominently in the center of the store. With its off-the-shoulder long sleeves design, it would be perfect for this weather without being too cold. The back was completely open, ensuring it would be eye-catching once she stepped inside. 0
 
 
Qiao Nuo had never been fond of being ostentatious, but now she needed to capture the attention of the Ji Family members immediately, and she was determined to secure the collaboration. 0
 
“This item has already been reserved by a customer. We were just about to finalize it…” The sales assistant looked troubled, caught between the Young Madam and a mysterious customer—both were not to be offended! 0
 
“Um, alright then. I’ll look at something else,” Qiao Nuo replied. 0
 
The sales assistant was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Qiao Nuo to be so accommodating. If it had been someone else, relying on their status, they would have insisted on obtaining that dress. Having worked here for so long, she had seen many wealthy ladies and young misses turn red in the face over a piece of clothing. 0
 
But Qiao Nuo truly moved on to look at other options! 0
 
However, she couldn’t shake off how beautiful that dress was. With her fair skin, she imagined how stunning she would look in that deep blue gown. 0
 
Her gaze lingered on the dress several times as she watched the sales assistant take it down, carefully placing it in a protective cover before handing it over to a man dressed in a silver-gray suit. 0
 
The man stood tall, roughly the same height as Jin Chengyan. His hair was soft and not particularly dark, but rather in a pleasing shade. His profile was strikingly defined; he must be incredibly handsome. 0
 
That man was the one who had purchased the dress. How fortunate must be the woman who would wear it! 0
 
Qiao Nuo thought about all the men she had encountered recently, each one more handsome than the last. 0
 
Of course, Jin Chengyan's charm was unmatched, and that was something she would never tell him. 0
 
“Here you go.” Just as Qiao Nuo turned to pick up a light pink dress, the man approached her and handed her the gown he held. 0
 
Qiao Nuo froze for a moment, looking up to find that the man was now standing beside her, extending the dress toward her. 0
 
 
“I noticed your gaze lingering on this dress several times. I asked the sales staff, and they said you really liked it. A gentleman doesn’t take away what others cherish,” he spoke slowly, his tone particularly warm and friendly. 0
 
Qiao Nuo quickly shook her head. “No, no, no, you picked it out first. If I take it, it would be like taking away something you like, right? The pink dress I have is just fine. Thank you, but I don’t need it.” 0
 
The man glanced at the pink dress in Qiao Nuo’s hands before shifting his gaze back to her, as if imagining something. He then said, “That dress doesn’t suit you. Trust me, this one is much more fitting for you.” 0
 
He placed the dress from Qiao Nuo’s hands back on the rack and handed her the blue dress he was holding. 0
 
“My girlfriend may not look good in this blue dress. Good things should naturally be reserved for those who are more suited to them.” With that, he walked away. 0
 
Qiao Nuo stood there in a daze, staring at the dress she had wanted. “Sir, I can pay you…” 0
 
This dress was quite expensive, and she felt bold only because her company would reimburse her. However, she couldn’t accept a gift from a stranger. 0
 
But the man had already walked far away. 0
 
Holding the dress, Qiao Nuo felt a bit helpless. 0
 
She prepared to try it on since she still needed to do her makeup and hair; time was running short. 0
 
Yet just two steps out the door, Qiao Nuo felt her mind explode with realization. 0
 
“That person was Ji Nuan Yang!” She hurriedly ran outside with the dress in hand, but where could she find Ji Nuan Yang now? 0
 
Qiao Nuo regretted it immensely; such a great opportunity had slipped through her fingers. She should have talked to Ji Nuan Yang about potential collaboration. With so many people at the banquet tonight, she wondered if she would have a chance to speak with him! 0
 
 
Just as she was feeling frustrated, her phone rang. Qiao Nuo took it out to see that it was Jin Chengyan. 0
 
“Hello…” Her voice sounded a bit dejected because she had missed Ji Nuan Yang. Even though it was Jin Chengyan calling, she wasn't very enthusiastic. 0
 
“What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?” Jin Chengyan asked, surprisingly concerned that someone had mistreated her, which even startled him. 0
 
“No, what’s up? I’m busy,” she replied. 0
 
“Are you free tonight? I need to talk to you about something.” 0
 
“I’m not free; I have to work overtime today.” Qiao Nuo glanced at the dress in her hands, determined to have a conversation with Ji Nuan Yang tonight! 0
 
“Oh…” Jin Chengyan simply responded with an “oh” and didn’t say anything else before hanging up the phone. 0
