“No, why would you say that, wife?” Unable to grasp what his CEO wife was truly hinting at, Lin Fei was not prepared to agree with Mu Shanshan, and he immediately denied her question.

Seeing Lin Fei’s denial, Mu Shanshan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a cold and irritated look, she glanced at him and said coldly, “Lin Fei, I hope you don’t think I’m joking with you.

I am very, very serious in having this conversation with you.

I hope you will seriously consider my question and give me the most definite answer from your heart.”

It was uncommon for CEO Mu to be so verbose; speaking at length in one breath as she did now was rarely seen.

Realizing that his CEO wife was indeed intent on discussing their issues, Lin Fei could no longer keep dodging the topic.

With reluctance, he said, “I admit, there are indeed some problems between us.

However, wife, shouldn’t you tell me exactly what aspect you are referring to?”

There were many issues between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan: in daily life, emotionally, at work, and even various ideational differences.

Mu Shanshan’s sudden questioning, even if Lin Fei was willing to answer, left him unsure of where to start.

“Do you not feel that the state of our marriage is somewhat abnormal?” As she spoke these words, even Mu Shanshan, with her usually calm demeanor and years of tough business experiences, couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Despite often acting as though she didn’t care much for Lin Fei, her inexpensive husband, Mu Shanshan occasionally did feel that way.

But, after all, Lin Fei was the man she had officially married, and furthermore, they lived under the same roof.

If Mu Shanshan could completely ignore Lin Fei, her cheap husband, she would no longer be a woman.

Compared to Mu Shanshan’s slight nervousness, Lin Fei felt much more troubled.

“I knew it, not sleeping in the middle of the night, waiting for me in the living room, it was certainly not for anything good!” This was Lin Fei’s silent grumble to himself, truly reflecting his feelings at the moment.

The state of the marriage between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, how was it not abnormal?

It was extremely abnormal.

In this world, how many husbands frequently stayed out all night without even calling their wives?

And which wife, over half a year into the marriage, still wouldn’t let her husband touch her?

With the state of marriage Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan had, continuing their relationship under one roof, both could be considered oddities in a way.

“Wife, since you’ve brought it up, just say whatever you want to say, whatever decision you make, I will consider it carefully.”

Whether sticking his neck out or pulling it back, the issue of their marriage already laid out, Lin Fei couldn’t keep pretending.

The current state of their marriage, for which Lin Fei had to take much responsibility.

Although Lin Fei could sometimes be shameless, he was definitely not the type of man who would avoid responsibility and problems.

Since he had done some things he shouldn’t have to Mu Shanshan, and she had clearly shown her intention to have a serious talk, Lin Fei was also ready to face whatever punishment his CEO wife had in store.

Maybe pleased with Lin Fei’s attitude of admission or for some other reason, Mu Shanshan nodded at him.

The once furrowed brows relaxed, and although her voice still carried a chill, it now bore a hint of softness, “Lin Fei, I admit that I have the main responsibility for our marriage being in its current state.

However, I want you to understand that my intention in having this conversation today is to improve our relationship through our discussion.

I do not wish for us to continue living together in this current marital state.

Do you understand what I mean?”

After Mu Shanshan finished speaking, Lin Fei was utterly dumbstruck; specifically, he was shocked as soon as Mu Shanshan admitted to bearing a significant responsibility for their abnormal marital state.

Lin Fei had already mentally prepared himself to face the true judgement as the legitimate wife, Mu Shanshan, about his frequent absences at night and wild escapades.

Yet Mu Shanshan had attributed most of the blame to herself.

For Lin Fei, this was undoubtedly a huge reversal.

But given Lin Fei’s thick-skinned nature and his almost abnormal ability to react on the spot, it only took him a few seconds of being stunned before he underwent an emotional transformation and responded seriously to Mu Shanshan, “Wife, are you serious?”

“Of course.” Unaware of Lin Fei’s complex series of emotional transformations, Mu Shanshan seriously nodded in agreement.

If she hadn’t genuinely hoped to improve their marital relationship, the CEO Mu wouldn’t have been sitting on the sofa watching television late at night, clearly waiting for Lin Fei.

In fact, if Lin Fei hadn’t come home by ten o’clock, Mu Shanshan was already prepared to call him and urge him to come home.

Just as Mu Shanshan was thinking that she had already made her stance clear, and that Lin Fei, her cheap husband, should also give some positive response, Lin Fei suddenly picked her up.

“Lin Fei, what are you doing?!”

“Going upstairs to improve our marital relationship,” Lin Fei replied calmly and started striding toward the stairs.

“Lin Fei, you bastard, put me down!”

Mu Shanshan was mortified and indignant; after having been with Lin Fei for so long, how could she not understand that improving their marital relationship as mentioned by Lin Fei was almost synonymous with rolling in the sheets?

“I knew it, wife, you must be joking,” Lin Fei said disappointingly as he casually tossed Mu Shanshan onto the sofa.

Yes, tossed!

Luckily the couch was soft and comfortable.

If Lin Fei had carelessly thrown Mu Shanshan onto the floor, it would have definitely resulted in a dull thud.

“Lin Fei, listen to me carefully.

I don’t care what you think, I can tell you very clearly, I am not joking with you.

I am talking to you today as a wife.

Before I am ready to accept you, I might not interfere with your private life.

However, you must promise me that no matter what happens, no matter how late it is, you must come home.”

Aunt Lan’s conversation about “marriage being a woman’s lifelong career” really gave Mu Shanshan a wake-up call.

It also led her to make the decision to improve their marital relationship.

Mu Shanshan wasn’t much more knowledgeable than a blank sheet when it came to relationships, so she didn’t know how to make Lin Fei settle down or how to become a wife that Lin Fei would adore and not want to leave.

However, that did not stop her from demanding as a wife that Lin Fei should no longer stay out all night.

Because no matter how late, she would always wait for Lin Fei to come home.
