My Silly, Sweet Wife

”I heard that Murong is interested in you?” Boss Mo smiled mysteriously.

Ye Guichen said helplessly, ”Boss Mo, your information is really precise. But this whole thing feels weird to me. You didn’t come here today to gossip when you’re here to congratulate me on the opening of my martial arts school, did you?”

”You rascal, do I look that idle?” Boss Mo punched Ye Guichen in the chest and sighed, ”Ye Guichen, you really don’t appreciate the blessings you have. You probably don’t know that many outstanding men worldwide are vying for Murong’s favor. Yet, she has her eyes on you. I know the Mu Family won’t agree, but I see great potential in you. Although having no background is a major disadvantage for you right now, the saying ’heroes emerge from humble beginnings’ is often just a comforting lie for the masses. I understand how hard it is for someone without a background to climb up. But...”

At this point, Boss Mo placed his hand on Ye Guichen’s shoulder, his eyes gleaming, ”But sometimes miracles do happen. Just because heroes rarely emerge from humble beginnings doesn’t mean it can’t happen. As long as you strive for it, there will come a day when the Mu Family will recognize you. Of course, your outstanding performance in this competition might give you a shortcut to success.”

Ye Guichen looked at Boss Mo with interest and half-jokingly said, ”Boss Mo, hearing you talk like this almost makes it seem like you really want me to end up with Murong, haha. But I’m a married man.”

”Alright, kid, don’t play riddles with me here.” Boss Mo rolled his eyes at Ye Guichen, ”I’m not afraid to tell you; I started with no background either, and it’s been a hard climb to where I am now. Seeing you reminds me of myself in the past. For some reason, I couldn’t sleep a wink when I found out that Murong was smitten with you. Hehe, I’m much older than you, but for men, career is always the priority. As long as you agree, I don’t see any problem with you being a coach under me. Also, I heard that Feng Guoguo, one of Lord Military God’s Thirteen Grand Protectors, spoke highly of you to him. It’s possible that Lord Military God might take notice of you.”

”With your abilities, you might be worthy of Murong in a few years.”

Ye Guichen just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Seeing Ye Guichen’s silence, Boss Mo laughed heartily, ”Alright, I know you have your own ideas, but I truly meant what I said for your own good. Honestly, from the moment I first saw you, I felt a certain connection with you. I hope you reach great heights in the future; who knows, I might benefit from your success someday.”

Ye Guichen saw that Boss Mo was sincere, so he took a deep breath and put away his playful grin, ”Boss Mo, I understand your intentions, but I couldn’t pursue a woman I don’t like just for a so-called future. Besides, I have a fiancée now, arranged by my master. I won’t give that up unless he says otherwise. Frankly speaking, even if Murong is the eldest daughter of the Mu Family or even higher, I wouldn’t care. Haha, Boss Mo, you might think I’m arrogant, but I know what I want. If I like someone, I wouldn’t care about their background, and if I don’t, their background can’t impress me.”

Boss Mo was stunned, not expecting Ye Guichen to say such things. Seeing that Ye Guichen wasn’t joking, he laughed again, ”You stubborn mule!”

Sighing, he said, ”Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say. It’s up to you to decide. But we are still on good terms, right?”

Ye Guichen grinned, ”Of course, Boss Mo, you don’t have to say that.”

”Great, in that case, I’ll be bold and make a request.” Boss Mo smiled, ”In a few days, some elite soldiers from our regiment will return from a mission. I’d like you to be their coach and humble them a bit.”

Seeing that Ye Guichen was about to refuse, Boss Mo waved his hand, ”Ye Guichen, don’t refuse. You can’t refuse. Anyway, you’ve already accepted this role, so it’s part of your duty. And don’t think about returning the uniform to me; that’s not happening. Haha, alright then, I’ve said what I came to say. The rest is up to you to think over.”

Without saying more, Boss Mo turned and left.

Ye Guichen watched Boss Mo’s figure recede and couldn’t help but smile.

He understood Boss Mo’s words perfectly.

If he could align with the Mu Family, he might truly soar to great heights.

It’s something many people dream of.

But Ye Guichen didn’t care.

Even though, in the eyes of the Mu Family, he still didn’t amount to much, even with the Heavenly God Temple, he probably wasn’t worth their notice.

But so what?

Liking someone has nothing to do with background.

Moreover, Ye Guichen truly had no feelings for Murong.

The next morning.

Ye Guichen woke up Chen Ziran.

”What are you doing? I finally got a good night’s sleep.” Chen Ziran, wearing cartoon pajamas, rubbed her sleepy eyes and stood unwillingly at the door, pouting at Ye Guichen. She looked nothing like a CEO and more like the girl next door.

Ye Guichen chuckled, ”Aren’t you planning to open a company in Jinling? Since you’re the boss, you need a place to live. Come on, today I’ll take you to buy a house.”

”Buy a house?” Chen Ziran instantly woke up, ”Ye Guichen, stop joking. The house prices here are so high, they can’t compare to Yun City. Since I’m starting a real estate company, I need to pinch pennies. How could I have money to buy a house?”

”I have money!” Ye Guichen patted his chest mischievously, ”You’re my wife, how can I let you pay?”

”You?” Chen Ziran looked at Ye Guichen skeptically, ”Without saying a word, you opened a martial arts school and a medicine shop, and you still have money left?”

Ye Guichen didn’t explain, ”Hurry and get ready. After breakfast, we’ll go buy it. Oh, and tell Ma Xiaoling to take the day off, no need to protect you today.”

After saying this, Ye Guichen pinched Chen Ziran’s cheek, causing her to blush and huff. She slammed the door shut with a bang.

Just as he turned around, Ye Guichen almost bumped into someone. He looked up and his expression turned serious, ”Linglong, what are you doing up so early, following me around?”

Linglong pouted, ”Brother, you’re so biased. Chen Ziran isn’t even our sister-in-law yet, and you’re already so concerned about her. Last night I was busy until almost ten o’clock, and you didn’t ask how I was. Now you want to buy a house, what about Grandpa Mai and Grandpa Su? We work hard for you, shouldn’t we get a place to live too?”

Ye Guichen was taken aback, ”So, what do you want?”

”I’m going with you guys. You buy the house, and we’ll be neighbors.” Linglong clung to Ye Guichen’s arm, ”You can’t say no, and you shouldn’t reject. You owe it to us, considering everything we do for you. The Shennong Sect just opened, Jinling is our main base now. If you don’t treat us well, I won’t work hard for you.”

Ye Guichen was speechless, ”Come on, it’s Master Mai and Master Su’s job to revive the Shennong Sect. I’m just the Sect Leader by default. How did it become my responsibility?”

”I don’t care!” Linglong let go of Ye Guichen’s arm, ”It’s settled then. I’m coming with you. If you don’t take me, I’ll quit and make you run the clinic yourself.”
