Chapter 433 - 433 433 We Can Divorce But First Have a Child

433: Chapter 433: We Can Divorce, But First, Have a Child 433: Chapter 433: We Can Divorce, But First, Have a Child Night at the Purple Garden Pavilion, in the study on the second floor where Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were present.

The atmosphere was quite solemn.

Lin Fei, originally pondering how to explain himself to his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, nearly lost his wits when his gaze fell upon the strikingly harsh words “Divorce Agreement” in her hand.

Having served in the Mo Country military for many years and earning numerous combat merits, and after years of fighting as a mercenary abroad, Lin Fei had become unafraid of life and death.

Lin Fei had once thought there was nothing left in the world that could scare him.

Money, Lin Fei had aplenty.

Death, Lin Fei did not fear.

He couldn’t understand what could possibly make him feel fear or retreat.

Until, his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, brought out this “Divorce Agreement.”

At this moment, it was more accurate to say that Lin Fei was not so much stunned but rather unwilling to face the situation.

Put plainly, Lin Fei was frightened by the “Divorce Agreement” his CEO wife had presented to him.

Lin Fei had not failed to consider that upon his return to the Purple Garden Pavilion, his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, was unlikely to let him off easily.

After all, what husband suddenly leaves home for ten days without a word?

Any woman would likely struggle to contain her anger.

On his way back from Rose Manor to the Purple Garden Pavilion, Lin Fei had already braced himself for the storm that would be his CEO wife’s fury.

After all, he had long since started to consider his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, as family.

If she, the icy CEO, showed no sense of reproach for him leaving home for ten days,

Then Lin Fei would seriously begin to doubt whether he, as her nominal husband, even occupied a place in her heart.

The more furiously Mu Shanshan reacted to his ten-day disappearance, the more it indicated that Lin Fei, as her nominal husband, held an increasingly significant place in the heart of the icy CEO.

On his way back to the Purple Garden Pavilion from Rose Manor, Lin Fei had thought of many possible reactions from the icy CEO, Mu Shanshan, upon his return.

But he had never considered that she would want a divorce.

If it had been right after their marriage, had Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, handed him such a Divorce Agreement asking for his signature,

Lin Fei would have signed it immediately without any hesitation.

But things had changed.

After more than half a year of marriage, working at Mu Group, and moving into the Purple Garden Pavilion, months of daily interaction had completely integrated Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, into Lin Fei’s heart.

Having long regarded conquering his CEO wife as a major life endeavor, and treasuring Mu Shanshan as a forbidden delicacy, how could Lin Fei be willing to sign a divorce?

Signing it would not only bring immense pain to himself.

If the news of their divorce were to reach the ears of Mu Hong, his father-in-law,

The chances of Lin Fei being beaten to death by Mu Hong, his father-in-law, were not nonexistent.

Mu Hong, with a military background, was decisively not to be trifled with once he lost his temper.

Even for the sake of his future with CEO wife Mu Shanshan, and to prevent her from being scolded by her stepfather Mu Hong, Lin Fei absolutely could not sign the divorce agreement.

“Wife, you better burn that agreement quickly.

Even if I’m at fault—”

“You admit you’re wrong; that’s good!”

“To know one’s error and to correct it, there’s nothing more commendable.

My dear husband already realizes his mistake, and I’ve rushed back overnight specifically to ask for your forgiveness.

Given my sincere attitude in admitting my wrong, I think it’s necessary for you to give me a chance to redeem myself.”

“I’ve given you far too many chances.

If you had just cherished them, we definitely wouldn’t have reached this point!”

Mu Shanshan, this icy CEO, clearly had made up her mind this time!

No matter what Lin Fei said, the woman showed no signs of softening.

The “Divorce Agreement” was tightly clutched in her hand, thrust in front of Lin Fei with a stance that if he didn’t sign it, she would not let the matter rest!

“It takes a hundred years to be on the same boat, a thousand to share the same pillow.

A day as husband and wife earns a hundred days of grace—we’ve been married for over half a year, after all.

I can feel it; you still have me in your heart.

If we divorce just like this, you’ll definitely regret it later.

Instead of waiting until—”

“If I don’t divorce you now, I’ll be the one with regrets later!”

“My dear Shanshan, acting impulsively isn’t your style.

Consider things carefully.

How about I step out for a smoke, and you take a moment to cool down?”

“You don’t need to teach me how to cool down; all you need to do is sign here!”

Always bringing up signing the divorce papers in every other sentence—dealing with his cool and aloof CEO wife, Lin Fei was admittedly getting a headache.

The mistake was Lin Fei’s; even with the headache, he had no choice but to face it head-on.

After all, he hadn’t managed to win over Xue Mei, the cold and beguiling beauty, and now he was stuck with this icy CEO wife.

“Wife, you should know, divorce isn’t just a matter between the two of us.

Have you thought about how Dad will react if he learns that you’re forcing me to divorce you?!”

“My marriage is not for others to interfere with.

If Dad knew what you’ve done, I believe he would support me in divorcing you.”

Clearly in control of the vast Mu Group, Mu Shanshan was not intimidated by Lin Fei invoking Mu Hong.

On the contrary, she turned the tables on Lin Fei.

“Mu Shanshan, I warn you!

If you burn this divorce agreement right now, I can pretend nothing ever happened.

Moreover, I can assure you, wherever I may want to go in the future, I’ll check with you first and seek your consent.

If you disagree, I will respect your wishes.”

“I remember, you once promised to join me for morning runs and to call me if you weren’t coming home at night.

Did you keep either of these promises?!”

“This time I’m serious.”

“Whether you’re serious or not, it’s no longer my concern; just sign.”

Neither Lin Fei’s carrot-and-stick approach nor his promises brought about any concessions from Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

Thus, to avoid being kicked out by his CEO wife, Lin Fei also had to shamelessly persevere.

“Wanting me to sign isn’t impossible.”

Seeing Lin Fei suddenly give in, Mu Shanshan, who had been insisting on him signing the divorce papers, had a flash of panic in her cool, detached eyes.

Naturally, being inherently cold and now in the guise of an icy CEO, she managed to mask that brief but apparent panic quite well.

“Whatever your conditions are, name them.

As long as it’s within my power, I will do my best to satisfy them.”

“Really?!”

Watching that hopeful and inexplicable look on Lin Fei’s face, Mu Shanshan felt an inexplicable wave of irritation, her peerless beauty turning even colder.

In fact, she couldn’t be bothered to engage with Lin Fei any longer and simply gave a slight nod, affirming his request.

Having received a positive response from his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, a meaningful smile curled on Lin Fei’s lips, “To get me to sign and divorce you; sure!

But before that, you have to bear me a child.”

Upon hearing these words, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, was immediately dumbfounded…
