Free Web NovelChapter 40: Chapter 39: Wifey’s the Best (Part 1)
A short while later, after receiving the message, Ning Ruoxi quietly snuck over to Ye Ling’s car.
"Stinky, what did you call me over for?"
Ning Ruoxi asked curiously, looking at Ye Ling sitting inside the car.
A corner of Ye Ling’s mouth lifted. "Stop asking questions. Just get in."
Although Ning Ruoxi was a bit confused, she obediently listened to Ye Ling and got into the car.
Ye Ling thoughtfully helped Ning Ruoxi with her seatbelt, then smiled. "I’m taking you out for a shopping spree today."
That’s right.
His devious idea was to take Ning Ruoxi out and spend, spend, spend!
This idea came to him for two reasons: one, he felt he really had a bit too much money now, and two, it had been a long time since he’d had some proper alone time with his girl.
Pout~~
"Just the two of us? What about Yueyue?"
Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi asked subconsciously.
Ye Ling pursed his lips. "That brat is always a third wheel. We finally managed to ditch her today. Let’s not worry about her and have a world for just the two of us!"
’A world for just the two of us?’
As soon as she heard Ye Ling’s words, a faint blush crept onto Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face.
"That... That doesn’t seem very nice..."
Ning Ruoxi said, a little hesitant.
’She did want to go out alone with Ye Ling, but abandoning her best friend at home like this... wasn’t that a little unkind?’
"What’s not nice about it?"
Just then, Ye Ling turned his head, his eyes full of playful resentment. "You haven’t spent any time with me these past two days."
You could say Ye Ling was in full-on actor mode.
He looked exactly like a petulant wife feeling neglected by her husband!
To be honest, Ye Ling’s performance was a bit cheesy.
But it couldn’t be helped; they were in the honeymoon phase of their relationship...
Besides, Ning Ruoxi seemed to fall for it completely.
The moment Ning Ruoxi heard him say that, her heart softened, and she could no longer refuse him.
"Alright, alright~ I know I’ve been neglecting you these past two days, but it couldn’t be helped. You know how clingy Yueyue is. Fine, then... I’ll spend the whole day with you."
Ning Ruoxi’s soft voice replied.
"Wifey, you’re the best!"
A satisfied look instantly appeared on Ye Ling’s face. He leaned over, planted a loud SMOOCH on Ning Ruoxi’s cheek, and then slammed his foot on the accelerator.

The Pagani shot out of the underground garage.
"Who’s your wifey! You big stinker!"
Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but glare at Ye Ling.
For some reason, ever since that day, Ning Ruoxi had taken a special liking to calling Ye Ling "Stinky."
’I’m not stinky at all,’ Ye Ling thought.
’But if my wifey likes to call me that, then so be it~’
"I don’t care. You’re my wifey, and you’re not getting away."
At that moment, Ye Ling fully asserted his status in the relationship, speaking in a very domineering way.
Seeing the proud, smug look on Ye Ling’s face, Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but smile with a hint of resignation.
"Wifey~"
Ye Ling suddenly spoke up.
"Hm?"
Ning Ruoxi shot the guy a resigned glance.
’I give up. Call me whatever you want~’
"Have you noticed you’re becoming more and more like me?"
Ye Ling said with a mischievous grin.
"More and more like you?"
Ning Ruoxi paused, surprised. She quickly flipped down the passenger-side sun visor, took a close look at her reflection, and muttered, "But I haven’t gotten uglier~"
’Uglier!?’
Ye Ling almost swerved from stomping on the accelerator. He was utterly exasperated.
"Wifey, if you keep saying things like that, you’re going to lose me..."
Ye Ling’s gaze was full of mock sorrow.
Honestly, Ye Ling didn’t think he was particularly handsome, but when he walked down the street, he had a 100% turn-rate with the opposite sex~
For Ning Ruoxi to say he was ugly was just too much!
"I’m talking about the smile you have right now. Don’t you think it’s a lot like mine?"
Ye Ling explained.
’What can I do? This is the wifey I chose, so I have to spoil her rotten!’
Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi paused again and looked at her reflection in the small mirror. A faint curve was playing on her lips—a smile that was slightly resigned, yet filled with doting affection!
She recalled that this smile was, in fact, identical to the one Ye Ling often wore!
"Could this be the legendary ’couple’s resemblance’?"
Ye Ling started teasing her again.
Ning Ruoxi’s pretty face flushed. She huffed, her gaze turning unfriendly. "You’re such a smooth talker. Did you use these lines on other girls before?"
In that instant.
Ye Ling felt a hint of killing intent.
"No, absolutely not."
His survival instincts kicking into high gear, Ye Ling immediately denied it. Then, afraid she’d ask a trap question, he quickly changed the subject. "Oh, right, wifey, I heard there’s a private cinema nearby. How about we go see a movie after we’re done at the mall?"
"Okay! I’m spending the day with you anyway, so I’ll follow your lead."
Ning Ruoxi said with a beaming smile.
Hearing this, Ye Ling chuckled. "Wifey, you’re the best~"
As a wealthy man, Ye Ling would never take Ning Ruoxi to some ordinary little mall frequented by retirees. Instead, he chose what could be called the most luxurious shopping center in all of Modu—Shanghai Global Harbor!
Shanghai Global Harbor, shaped like a giant cruise ship, boasts a commercial area of 330,000 square meters, making it the largest shopping center in Modu’s central district.
From its splendid European-style decorations to its red Roman columns, white escalators, and golden ceiling lights, everything about it was breathtaking!
After parking the car, Ye Ling naturally took Ning Ruoxi’s hand as they stepped onto the escalator.
The luxury goods section at Shanghai Global Harbor was mainly on the second floor. Adhering to his principle of splurging today, Ye Ling headed straight there.
Seeing this, Ning Ruoxi hesitated slightly. "Stinky, they only sell high-end luxury goods on the second floor..."
"What’s the matter? Have you forgotten your man’s current status?"
Ye Ling just smiled, unconcerned.
At his words, Ning Ruoxi remembered that Ye Ling was now the chairman of Shengding Group!
"But we should still save where we can... We have to plan for the future. Besides, getting past my father won’t be easy."
Ning Ruoxi said, her beautiful eyes soft and gentle.
’Plan for the future!’
When Ye Ling heard this, a flicker of emotion appeared in his eyes.
’So, I’m already part of her plans for the future!’
There’s a popular saying online: the most terrifying thing in a relationship is when one person is planning for the future, while the other is planning to leave.
And Ye Ling had indeed experienced this before. Just as he was planning for their future, that person had slapped him back to reality.
