The Madam Is Far Too Simple

A CEO’s wife who’s obsessed with saving money × a ridiculously doting heir to a wealthy family Married life | Silly and sweet romance | Rich-family contrast The Lu family isn’t just wealthy. They have plenty of rules. Afternoon tea must be served in bone china, fruit has to be cut into identical pieces, and slippers must make no sound on the floor. Auntie Wang had worked as the Lu family’s cook for nearly thirty years. What kind of demanding madam hadn’t she dealt with? That is, until the young master brought home his secretly married wife to take over the family business. The young madam wandered all over the house early one morning, looking for the housekeeper and the gardener, then finally drifted into the kitchen. “Auntie Wang, help me like this post. You’re the last one!” Auntie Wang smiled politely, though she remained on guard. “Madam, is it another free milk tea?” There were more than a dozen cups stocked in the fridge. Throw them away? She was afraid of offending the madam. Keep them? If her employer found out, she’d be fired! “Unlimited bullfrog hot pot. Get enough likes and the soup base is free.” Delighted to have secured the last like, Qin Nan exclaimed, “Love you, Auntie Wang! Can I borrow the grocery car? I won’t be home for dinner!” Little did she know that Auntie Wang was already at a loss over the bullfrog and Qin Nan’s freshly minted driver’s license. The housekeeper, Uncle Song, came to the rescue. “Madam, the driver needs to deliver some documents to the CEO. Would you like a ride?” Seeing the young madam happily hurry upstairs to change, Auntie Wang grabbed Uncle Song. “How can Madam eat bullfrog? You have to tell President Lin!” Lu Chenyuan used to fly her in by helicopter, straight from the helipad. This was Qin Nan’s first time passing by the company’s main entrance. Thinking about how a tank of gas for a Maybach cost thousands, Qin Nan said, “Driver Chen, I’ll get out here.” The young madam was friendlier than her mother-in-law, but she was always making things difficult for the household staff. Qin Nan said a shared bike cost just two yuan. Driver Chen said he’d lose his job, playing for sympathy. The young madam gave in and waited in the car. But the driver soon returned, with her employer in tow. The car rocked as the driver tactfully waited a short distance away. The underground parking garage was dim, just the right place for Lu Chenyuan to steal a taste of his wife’s soft lips. “Not coming home for dinner tonight?” he murmured against her ear, his thumb brushing the corner of her mouth. “Mm…” Qin Nan covered her face with her hands and curled up in his arms like a quail, afraid he’d pounce on her like a hungry wolf and ruin her makeup. Their campus romance had lasted through graduation and ended in a marriage certificate. Lu Chenyuan had gone from a researcher in a white coat to the suited CEO of a multinational corporation. It wasn’t until after they married that Qin Nan learned there really were people who didn’t work hard and simply went home to inherit billions. “Your best friend came to visit, and I don’t even have time to keep you company. I’m sorry.” He toyed with her braid, his fingertips grazing her earlobe. “My secretary booked a room and a restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel. I’ll have the driver take you both.” “But I…” She’d finally gotten enough likes to get the soup base for free. “Make sure you treat her well for me.” Lu Chenyuan cut her off in time. If she made a request, he really wouldn’t be able to stop himself from agreeing. Thinking of the hotel’s luxury, Qin Nan ventured in a small voice, “Then can I stay at the hotel with her tonight?” Since the two friends hadn’t seen each other in ages, Lu Chenyuan readily agreed. But before Qin Nan’s pajama party with her best friend could even begin… Qin Nan stared at the man standing outside the guest room. “What are you doing here?” Lu Chenyuan smiled. “I came to say hello to your friend, and to pick you up.” “Didn’t you say I could stay at the hotel?” “I did. So I booked a room too.” He stepped closer, trapping her between the doorframe and his chest. He leaned down, his breath brushing her ear. “Staying in a hotel once in a while can be a little marital fun, too.” Theme: Wealth can’t change who you are
