Chapter 1 – Living the Dream: My Wife the CEO and a Life of Leisure

Chen Qi lay on the bench, basking in the sunlight, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Ah... this is the life I've always dreamed of!"

As someone who had suffered in his previous life as a corporate slave, Chen Qi felt that crossing into another world was the quickest and most convenient way to change his fate.

After winning countless awards, the Heavenly Queen Li Huange acquired her former company and became the female CEO, secretly getting married in the process.

As Li Huange's secret husband, Chen Qi's happiness was not just about living leisurely as a gigolo.

In Li Huange's words—

"Our marriage is just for peace and quiet, to stop my family from pressuring me to marry!"

"If one day your identity becomes public, just maintain the persona I've set up for you."

"Twenty thousand a month as pocket money, you can even see other women, just don't let me know, and definitely don't let the reporters find out."

"Anything else... I'll tell you when I think of it."

Having worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Chen Qi was all too familiar with the feeling of being in the background.

He never imagined that working behind the scenes could bring such daily joy.

"Even if my mind is filled with countless great works from a parallel world, I really don't need to leave anything behind in this world."

"I'm not that great, even though good works shouldn't be buried..."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Chen Qi! I'm bringing a few friends over today, buy some groceries, we'll have a drink and chat at home tonight!"

Chen Qi grinned and immediately agreed.

His wife's voice was so pleasant, and she was beautiful with an amazing figure.

The only thing that frustrated Chen Qi was the constant visual temptation without any action.

Three years of marriage, with a clear agreement that neither could cross the line without explicit consent from the other.

Though they treated each other with respect and were only married by agreement, after three years of living together, they had developed a bit of a friendship.

She handled the outside world, while he took care of the home.

They would watch TV and have a drink together.

This kind of relationship really made Chen Qi feel intoxicated.

Each got what they needed without causing trouble for the other, this mutual understanding was their best harmony.

Chen Qi hopped on the little scooter he bought with his first gigolo paycheck after getting married and headed straight to the market.

Preparing a good meal to give Li Huange face in front of her friends was Chen Qi's responsibility and duty!

When Li Huange was in a good mood, the monthly gigolo allowance would increase.

This world was bustling, but cultural aspects lagged a bit.

Culinary culture was also part of culture.

Chen Qi still remembered when they first moved in after their agreement marriage, the first meal he cooked, spicy shredded potatoes, made Li Huange eat a whole bowl.

So in the three years of marriage, Li Huange's most private gatherings with her most trusted people were always arranged at home.

Her besties often looked forward to it.

Before long, the meal was ready, and the guests arrived.

Chen Qi smiled and exchanged pleasantries, then retreated to the second floor to watch videos of busty beauties, leaving the space for them to talk.

After they finished eating, Chen Qi would go downstairs to clean up, take a shower, and go to sleep.

Another ordinary yet satisfying day.

Today's gathering ended quickly, and as Chen Qi cleaned up, he caught a glimpse that made his heart race.

Li Huange was lounging on the sofa, her long, snow-white legs exposed, longer than a sugarcane, her posture revealing enticing curves.

Chen Qi's mood improved even more, getting an eyeful before sleep...

"Chen Qi..." Li Huange put down her tablet and called softly.

Chen Qi smiled and jogged over.

"Yes, my lady, what can I do for you?"

In the past, Li Huange would usually tease him a bit seeing him like this, but today she didn't.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, making Chen Qi feel something might be up.

"Two things..."

"Go on, go on," Chen Qi pretended not to notice Li Huange's worry.

"Uh... the first thing is I've adopted a child..."

Chen Qi was taken aback, then laughed:

"That's your freedom, you're the patron, what's adopting a child?"

"This child might need you to take care of him..." Li Huange said awkwardly.

Chen Qi nodded with a chuckle.

"That'll cost extra!"

To Chen Qi's surprise, the usually generous female CEO seemed troubled this time.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qi felt an inexplicable panic.

No way, no way?

The female CEO wouldn't want to get free, would she?

Chen Qi shook his head slightly.

No, Li Huange wasn't the type to fuss over such money.

Could it be...

Chen Qi panicked even more.

Could the good days be coming to an end?

Li Huange looked a bit embarrassed and said:

"Uh... the company has been facing some difficulties lately, we couldn't promote the young Heavenly King and Queen, and the new talent plan isn't going well..."

Chen Qi quickly said, "You never tell me about work, just tell me the result!"

Li Huange sighed, "This month's salary... might have to be reduced, and also... delayed."

"What?"

Chen Qi was truly dumbfounded.

"No choice..." Li Huange said with difficulty, "Shall we talk about the child instead?"

Li Huange rarely took the initiative to hold Chen Qi's hand, guiding him to sit beside her.

"Coincidentally, the child's last name is the same as yours, Chen Xiaokun, he's five years old..."

"He lost his memory in a car accident, his parents are gone, I went through a lot to make him accept that I'm his mother and you're his father..."

Chen Qi was dumbfounded, "But the fact is..."

"The fact doesn't matter!" Li Huange said seriously, "The child's health is what's most important!"

Chen Qi gaped, "I... you're making me feel so ungrateful..."

Li Huange patted Chen Qi's shoulder.

"Don't worry, apart from forgetting his parents, Chen Xiaokun is perfectly normal!"

"So what you need to do is work with me to give Chen Xiaokun a new, happy, sweet, harmonious life we've created for him!"

Chen Qi stared blankly into Li Huange's eyes.

Her eyes were determined, serious, and filled with the glow of charity and maternal love.

At that moment, Chen Qi felt like Li Huange was a dove in the sky, while he was a worm in the dirt.

"I... alright..."

Chen Qi muddled his way upstairs, while Li Huange slyly smiled.

She reached for her phone and pressed the voice button.

"The plan is going smoothly!"

Fu Qing was lying on the bed, her alluring figure fully displayed in her cool attire.

Upon receiving Li Huange's message, Fu Qing sat up with a start and immediately made a call.

"Hello?" Li Huange seemed to be avoiding Chen Qi, her voice was soft.

"Huange, is it really okay to deceive Chen Qi like this?"

Li Huange replied confidently:

"The score for 'Chasing the Moon' was only seen by Lin Duo and me, and after the revisions, it reached a whole new level!"

"But there's no one at home except Chen Qi and me!"
