I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 38 Let's Start a New Life

"Next steps?"

Do you have any further plans?

Shen Qingrou was surprised that Ye Cheng suddenly got involved in business matters.

Ye Cheng analyzed: "The Shen Group started out in the clothing business."

Although real estate is the main business now, clothing, agriculture, and animal husbandry are secondary businesses.

However, with the contraction of the real estate market, the main business is bound to be much worse than before.

We need to get our side hustles up and running as soon as possible.

Previously, the main body supported the secondary body; now, the opposite should be done, with the secondary body supporting the main body, while waiting for the right opportunity.

With the widespread use of the internet, online sales have become an inevitable trend.

Live streamers with high viewership are highly sought after in the business world.

Partnering with those top players can increase sales, but it puts us at a disadvantage when it comes to pricing.

Therefore, why don't we cultivate our own livestreamers, so we can control prices based on sales volume at any time?

Shen Qingrou put the contract aside and looked at Ye Cheng with a deep gaze: "Are you sure you're doing this for my own good?"

Ye Chengdao said, "As long as you can bring benefits to the Shen family, the board members will support you."

Your stepmother is afraid to do anything to you because she's hesitant to act against you.

Shen Qingrou opened her mouth, wanting to tell Ye Cheng the secret she had been suppressing in her heart.

However, for safety reasons, she ultimately swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"You're oversimplifying things," Shen Qingrou said.

Ye Cheng suggested, "You continue to play the playboy, I'll step forward and take the blame for the dangerous things."

With a loud bang, Shen Qingrou slammed her hand on the table: "What are you pretending for? Do I need to pretend?"

I have food and drink every day, and someone else takes care of all my worries. You have no idea how carefree I am.

Why invite suffering upon yourself?

My father built this empire for me so I could enjoy it, not so I could suffer without any hardship.

The future of the Shen family will be taken care of by others; I don't need to worry about it.

Ye Cheng did not argue with Shen Qingrou, because you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

“I am your husband in name only. You don’t work hard because you have a good father, but I can’t do that.”

If I don't demonstrate some value, I'm afraid I'll have to endure humiliation from others.

I also longed for a peaceful life, but from the moment I got my marriage certificate with you, my life was destined to never be peaceful again.

"Unless you let me leave, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and change our marriage certificate to a divorce certificate."

Shen Qingrou's eyes flashed sharply: "Are you threatening me?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "I'm doing this for myself."

Shen Qingrou was slightly taken aback, wondering what Ye Cheng meant by those words.

Ye Cheng noticed the confusion in Shen Qingrou's eyes and explained further: "Under normal circumstances, a person only needs one kidney to maintain a basic life."

Liu Yue also only has one of my kidneys, and she's still living a vibrant and healthy life.

That's why there are rumors online that I've been clinging to Liu Yue for three years. In reality, I can live like a normal person.

Fortunately, after three years of care, he has indeed become like a normal person.

But once I become normal again, I'm afraid rumors will start circulating online again, saying that I'm a gigolo.

The previous three years were all an act; once he hooked up with a rich heiress, there was no need to pretend anymore.

But I have the ability to support myself, and now I want to prove myself.

"Mr. Shen, can you grant my request?"

Shen Qingrou looked at Ye Cheng with puzzlement: "Is reputation really that important to you?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "I just want to live a meaningful life."

Shen Qingrou smiled coldly: "What if I don't grant your wish?"

Ye Cheng said firmly, "I will find a way to get you to agree."

A mad glint suddenly appeared in Shen Qingrou's eyes as she looked at Ye Cheng with a wicked grin: "Come and please me."

Ye Cheng felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

Instead of following Shen Qingrou's instructions to please her, he stared at her intently without moving.

Shen Qingrou stared at Ye Cheng just as brazenly.

One was mad, the other calm; two completely different gazes collided, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerie.

Shen Qingrou stood up, walked slowly to Ye Cheng's side, bent down, and made face-to-face contact with Ye Cheng, saying meaningfully, "You wouldn't have dared to look at me like this before."

Let me guess what gave you such courage.

She suddenly opened her mouth to bite Ye Cheng's lips.

However, Ye Cheng was no longer the same as before. He quickly tilted his head back and easily dodged Shen Qingrou's savage peck.

As if she knew Ye Cheng would dodge, Shen Qingrou quickly reached out her right hand, grabbed the back of Ye Cheng's head, and pushed him forward forcefully.

However, Ye Cheng's head remained firmly planted, like a massive boulder.

Annoyance flashed in Shen Qingrou's eyes: "You've grown bold, haven't you!"

Ye Cheng sighed inwardly. It seemed he would have to heal Shen Qingrou's heartbreak first.

"If you want me to become him, you have to tell me his story first."

Shen Qingrou slapped Ye Cheng across the face, but Ye Cheng was one step ahead and grabbed her wrist.

This action completely enraged Shen Qingrou, who went berserk, using both her hands and feet to frantically attack Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng's hand speed was like a fascia gun; no matter where Shen Qingrou hit him, he could stop her immediately.

When Shen Qingrou was completely exhausted, Ye Cheng gently pulled her, and she fell into his arms.

"Have you gone crazy enough?" Ye Cheng asked softly.

Shen Qingrou, panting heavily, looked defiant: "If you're so capable, let me go!"

Ye Cheng said domineeringly, "What if I don't let go?"

With a loud "Wah!", Shen Qingrou suddenly burst into tears, feeling wronged: "You bullied me! All of you bullied me!"

Uh~

Ye Cheng was somewhat caught off guard.

A woman's tears can be quite powerful; her crying immediately silenced Ye Cheng's temper.

He tightened his grip on Shen Qingrou's hand: "Shen Qingrou, remember, I'm here to protect you, not to bully you."

"You're bullying me, you're a bad person!"

"Does being silently abused by you make someone a good person?"

Shen Qingrou, I know you hate that person, but I just look like him.

I am not him, nor can I become him.

Since fate brought us together, I won't allow you to still be influenced by him.

Let's start a new life.

Let's face any difficulties together, share honor and disgrace, and live and die together!

Shen Qingrou raised her tearful eyes, looked at Ye Cheng seriously, then lowered her eyelids and said righteously, "You won't even let me bite you, so what's the point of talking about living and dying together?"

Ye Cheng was stunned. Damn it, he'd been outmaneuvered by this girl!

He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Shen Qingrou's rosy lips hard.

Until Shen Qingrou was about to suffocate.

"Are you still going to bite me?"

Shen Qingrou glared at Ye Cheng with displeasure: "Are you trying to suffocate me?"

Ye Chengtian shamelessly said, "If you want to bite me in the future, I'll kiss you."

Shen Qingrou gritted her teeth in anger. She couldn't understand why she lost all ability to resist when Ye Cheng married her.

They don't even have the ability to bite back.

Ye Cheng got down to business, gently asking, "Sweetie, go sign the papers."

Taking the opportunity, Shen Qingrou asked, "If you agree to play games with me tonight, I'll sign the papers."

Ye Cheng was speechless.

"I won't agree. Even if you beg God to grant it to me, I still won't sign it."

Sigh... I've been manipulated again.

"Okay, I agree."

Shen Qingrou smiled slyly: "You agreed so readily, you must be lying to me."

No, I want to play now.

Damn it!

Ye Cheng: "..."
