Mu Shanshan, who originally blushed faintly at the sight of Lin Fei’s half-naked body, suddenly turned cold, “I’m not sick, I don’t need medicine!”

After speaking, Mu Shanshan ignored Lin Fei completely, hugged a large teddy bear, and jumped over him.

“Could it be that after scolding her, she’s finally come around and is ready to share a bed with me?” Seeing Mu Shanshan heading straight for his bed, Lin Fei’s mind became instantly animated.

At that thought, Lin Fei became excited, feeling a surge of heat rush from his groin to his head, almost setting him ablaze.

Even though they’d been married for over half a year and Lin Fei hadn’t touched Mu Shanshan, that didn’t mean Mu Shanshan lacked any attraction to him.

On the contrary, with her devastating beauty, flawless figure, and an innate cold aura that kept people at a distance, she was the deadliest poison to any man.

Heaven knows how frustrating it was for Lin Fei to live under the same roof as Mu Shanshan, bearing the title of husband yet unable to fulfill the marital duties.

Now, Mu Shanshan had taken the initiative to come to Lin Fei’s room late at night, making him feel like spring had arrived—it hadn’t been in vain taking her out on a date.

“I’ll sleep on the bed, you sleep underneath.”

Just as Lin Fei was thinking about whether he should take the initiative and pounce to complete their unfinished wedding night, Mu Shanshan, who had taken over his bed, doused him with cold water with just one sentence.

“Why?!” Lin Fei immediately became agitated, one on the bed, the other underneath—what the hell was the point, “My dear Shanshan wife, you’re not telling me you came to my bedroom in the middle of the night just to fight over the bed with me, are you?!”

“You guessed right.” Apparently oblivious to Lin Fei’s frustration, Mu Shanshan tidied up his bed and laid down.

Mu Shanshan’s series of actions left Lin Fei with a head full of confusion, his thoughts falling like dominoes.

“Since you’re here, I won’t be polite.”

Seeing that Mu Shanshan was truly lying on his bed, and showing no intention of leaving despite his predatory gaze, Lin Fei couldn’t care less whether Mu Shanshan had taken the wrong medicine or gone crazy.

He wouldn’t miss such a perfect opportunity to win her over.

Mu Shanshan, enveloped in her silk nightgown, looked ethereal and graceful under the light, her exposed skin radiant, a truly dazzling sight.

If Lin Fei didn’t know they were at Purple Garden Pavilion, and if he could just ignore that huge teddy bear in Mu Shanshan’s arms, he might have doubted whether the woman lying on his bed was the incomparable beauty Shen Peini.

“Lin Fei, you say I don’t love you, but I want to ask you, have you truly fallen in love with me?”

Just as Lin Fei was about to pounce, Mu Shanshan, as if she had eyes on the back of her head, suddenly spoke up.

What?

What’s going on?

Could it be she came here in the middle of the night to talk about love and emotions?

Several thoughts flashed through Lin Fei’s mind; he had always been on edge about Mu Shanshan.

Lin Fei hadn’t forgotten that not long ago, he had botched their first date and had indirectly taught Mu Shanshan a lesson.

He didn’t believe for a second that his CEO wife was the type of woman to graciously accept being outplayed by him and still come forward eagerly.

“If I didn’t love you, do you really think I would let you barge into my bedroom in the middle of the night and take over my bed?!”

“So, please tell me, do you love me as a person, or just my face and body?”

Shanshan rolled over to face Lin Fei, her beautiful eyes staring straight at him as though she intended to peer straight into his soul through his eyes.

Lin Fei broke out in a sweat; he hadn’t expected Shanshan to be this blunt.

Under the cold and frosty gaze of Shanshan’s eyes, Lin Fei felt a rare sense of embarrassment.

Now he understood why Shanshan had come to his bedroom in the middle of the night, and why she had lain on his bed.

It was simple; the woman had come to question and accuse him.

Lin Fei had used the excuse that Shanshan didn’t love him to mess up the date between them, and at first, Shanshan really was fooled by him.

However, clearly, Shanshan’s intelligence was not to be underestimated, as she quickly figured out the key to the matter.

Indeed, Shanshan had not truly fallen in love with Lin Fei, and Lin Fei’s love clearly wasn’t entirely for her, Shanshan, as a person.

“Why aren’t you speaking?

Don’t want to, or don’t dare to?” Seeing Lin Fei remain silent, Shanshan’s pretty face grew colder, her counter-questions coming one after another, with President Mu’s presence even more overpowering!

Watched by the still cold-looking Shanshan who lay on the bed, Lin Fei was stunned into inaction, but in her heart, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Shanshan’s impression of Lin Fei had changed somewhat, it was clear she wasn’t at a point where she would actively accept him.

In short, Lin Fei was still far from the image of the ideal husband in Shanshan’s heart.

Not to mention, this time Lin Fei had managed to ruin the first date of President Mu’s life; based on this alone, Shanshan clearly was not going to easily forgive Lin Fei anytime soon.

The reason she came to Lin Fei’s bedroom late at night was completely due to the after-effects of watching the horror film with Lin Fei.

In short, President Mu was too scared to sleep alone.

In the entire Purple Garden Pavilion, there were only three people.

At this late hour, Aunt Lan had long gone to bed.

Aunt Lan was getting on in years after all, and Shanshan obviously couldn’t disturb her, especially since she was no longer a child.

However, she was indeed frightened to sleep alone, and after much thought, Shanshan gritted her teeth and ran to Lin Fei’s bedroom.

However, this kind of thing was clearly something Shanshan was too embarrassed to say outright.

So, President Mu turned the discussion to their relationship.

It must be said, Shanshan indeed had a talent for bluffing.

Naturally cold and otherworldly, it was hard for anyone to discern her inner thoughts from her expressions.

Moreover, having been in a high position for so long, President Mu’s icy demeanor held significant power.

“Wife, ah—”

Being repeatedly choked by Shanshan’s words, especially with Shanshan maintaining that accusatory presidential demeanor, even with Lin Fei’s near-abnormal observational skills, he was unable to see through to Shanshan’s real thoughts.

“As long as you acknowledge your mistake in your heart, that’s fine.

My coming to your bedroom was to tell you If you genuinely care about the company, I’m willing to have a sincere talk.

Even if it goes against my principles, as long as it’s beneficial for the company, I will consider it seriously.

But, I cannot accept the way you’ve acted tonight.

I hope this is the first and the last time!”

“Wife—”

“That’s enough, let’s leave today’s matter here.

Turn off the lights, go to sleep!”

Shanshan didn’t give Lin Fei a chance to reply before she turned off the lights…
