The Billionaire’s Stand-In Bride
Wrapping his arm around her delicate shoulder, he whispered, 'Sleep well.' 'Yes, good night,' Su Ci softly bid him goodnight. ... Su Ci thought she would have difficulty falling asleep, but when she opened her eyes the next day, she found it was already six o'clock. Su Xue had demanded that she must be out before six, not a minute more! She was late! Su Ci moved slightly, wanting to get up, but she found herself still sleeping in Fu Nancheng's embrace, the man's strong arm encircling her slender waist, the two nestled intimately together. Su Ci trembled slightly and carefully withdrew from his embrace. But as soon as she moved, Fu Nancheng woke up, his voice carrying the drowsiness and laziness of The drowsy sluggishness of just waking up still clung to her, but his strong arm tightened around her waist, pulling her even closer into his embrace. "Why are you up so early?" he murmured, voice still thick with sleep. "Stay with me, just a little longer." He had always suffered from insomnia, and he had not expected to sleep so well holding her. The fragrance in his arms was soft and jade-like, and he wanted to hold her and sleep a little longer. Su Ci dared not sleep anymore, she could feel that Su Xue was already sharpening her knife outside the door, waiting, 'I'll get up first, you sleep a little longer, I have to do housework.' Fu Nancheng closed his eyes and curled his thin lips, 'Is the maid not enough at home, or do you, the young mistress, have to do it yourself?' He had always thought she was Su Xue, but she wasn't. 'I really have to get up.'
Su Ci broke free from him and sat up. She withdrew from his embrace, and Fu Nancheng also lost all trace of sleepiness, slowly opening his eyes, his gaze already clear. He looked towards that slender figure; she quickly dressed and got out of bed, leaving the room. Fu Nancheng furrowed his eyebrows, puzzled as to why she left so swiftly, as if she were in a hurry, and she wouldn't even stay to sleep a little longer with him as he asked. ... When Su Ci came out after touching up the scar on her face, she saw the gloomy-faced Su Xue. Pointing at the time, Su Xue scolded, 'Su Ci, it's already six o'clock and five minutes, why did you sleep with my husband for an extra five minutes? Is it because my husband's arms are too warm, making you reluctant to leave?' Su Ci felt as if her secret was exposed. In fact, she got up very early every day and was never greedy for sleep. But Fu Nancheng's embrace was broad and warm, and this morning she had clung to him tightly like an octopus. 'If you're so uneasy about me, then don't let me sleep with your husband next time.' '...' Su Xue was about to explode with anger. She hadn't slept all night, and just thinking about Su Ci lying in her husband's arms drove her mad with jealousy. However, she had more important things to do, 'What perfume are you wearing? Hand over the perfume.' Perfume? Why did both Fu Nancheng and Su Xue ask her what perfume she was wearing? Su Ci raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and took out a bottle of perfume, 'Here you are.'
Su Xue's pupils shrank in surprise—it was actually CC perfume! CC is an international luxury fragrance and skincare brand. They say that you can recognize a woman by her scent, and the aroma of CC perfume is said to be enchanting, earning it the title of 'straight man slayer,' as there's no man who wouldn't fall for it. CC launches its limited edition perfumes every quarter, and when that time comes, the wealthy ladies and socialites of Ye City would scramble to get their hands on one, willing to knock themselves out just to own a bottle of CC perfume. The bottle Su Ci took out was this season's limited edition 'Spring Encounter' by CC, which she and her mother had been trying to purchase for a long time without success. Yet, Su Ci casually took out a bottle. "Su Ci, how did you manage to get CC perfume?"
