624: Chapter 626: The Happy Goddess of Longing 624: Chapter 626: The Happy Goddess of Longing In the afternoon.

At the Purple Garden Pavilion.

First-floor living room.

Sitting opposite Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan was the Butcher.

After confirming that Lin Fei really had not given the “daughter-in-law exclusive necklace” to Mu Shanshan.

The Butcher feigned great irritation and scolded Lin Fei, “Boss, what am I supposed to say about you!

Back when we were in the military, you swore you’d put the necklace on the person you liked yourself.

Now, both you and sister-in-law are married, and furthermore, sister-in-law is so perfect.

Yet you didn’t put the necklace on her yourself.

Boss, today in front of sister-in-law, tell me the truth!

Do you, or do you not like sister-in-law?!”

Lin Fei really felt the urge to flip the table and hit someone after being so accused by the Butcher!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t!

At this moment, it was clear that the Butcher and Mu Shanshan, this ice queen CEO, were on the same side.

If Lin Fei flipped the table at the Butcher, it would undoubtedly be like flipping the table at Mu Shanshan.

Given the current circumstances, if Lin Fei really made such an extreme move,

he definitely wouldn’t have an easy time here at the Purple Garden Pavilion anymore.

Mu Shanshan, this ice queen CEO, was not an easy person to deal with.

Although women aren’t always as innocent as a blank sheet in matters of love, given her strong principles,

for her to not receive the exclusive necklace that rightfully belonged to her,

who knew, after Lin Fei flipped the table, whether Mu Shanshan, this ice queen CEO, might consider killing her own husband.

“Boss, what does your silence mean?!

Could it be that you really don’t like sister-in-law?!”

Oh man, can you not add fuel to the fire!

Can’t you see my wife is about to explode!

You’re my boss, I’m begging you to talk less!

After the Butcher pressed him again, Lin Fei really had the urge to sew the Butcher’s mouth shut with a needle.

A “daughter-in-law exclusive necklace” was enough to give him a headache.

And yet, who knew what kind of drugs the Butcher took, pressing him to the brink with every word!

This was only because Lin Fei knew that based on their many years of brotherhood, the Butcher would definitely not harm him.

Otherwise, Lin Fei probably would have drawn his knife already!

“Xiaoxuan, let it be.

Don’t ask anymore.

If he really liked me, he wouldn’t have given that necklace to someone else.

I’m a bit tired, you guys talk; I’m going upstairs.”

With those words, Mu Shanshan, this ice queen CEO, intended to rise and head upstairs.

“Wife.” Seeing that his CEO wife Mu Shanshan was about to stand up.

Lin Fei, who had been wondering what exactly the Butcher had been aiming at, clearly couldn’t remain silent any longer.

He directly grasped the icy CEO wife Mu Shanshan’s pale, delicate hand, and, uncommonly emotional, looked deeply into her eyes, “Whether you believe it or not, I haven’t given that necklace to anyone.

Since meeting you, I’ve never thought of giving it to anyone but you.”

Using his skills in speech, Lin Fei cleverly avoided mentioning the fact that he had once thought of putting the necklace on Xia Youyou.

It was a temporary measure to deceive Mu Shanshan, this ice queen CEO.

Seeing his CEO wife Mu Shanshan seemed to ponder his words, Lin Fei involuntarily moved even closer to her.

“The reason I didn’t answer Xiaoxuan just now is that I know I’ve moved beyond the stage of just liking you.

Now, I’m sure, I don’t like you.”

“Boss, you—”

With a look, he halted the Butcher’s interjection, and Lin Fei, gazing back into Mu Shanshan’s eyes which seemed to hold a touch of heartache and solitude, said, “I don’t like you because I love you.”

Liking someone is easy.

Loving someone is hard.

Many people can’t distinguish between liking and loving, including many couples who believe they are deeply in love, and even married spouses for many years.

To some extent, it was indeed because liking and loving shared too many similarities.

But, more so, it was because many people had never truly loved.

Since they had never deeply loved, they could not understand the difference between love and liking.

In fact, distinguishing between liking and loving is simple.

Liking is temporary.

Love, however, is forever.

Liking is wanting to bring laughter to the other person.

Love is desiring their happiness for a lifetime.

Liking is wanting to possess.

Love is thinking of giving.

When a person begins to like another, he feels as if he owns the whole world.

When a person falls in love with another, he is willing to give up the whole world for her.

That is the difference between liking and love.

After several months of marriage, from initially disliking each other, they gradually began to develop a fondness.

Mu Shanshan, who had never experienced the baptism of emotions, perhaps could not feel it—the transition from liking to loving between her and Lin Fei.

But Lin Fei, a seasoned player in love, clearly could.

Lin Fei was sure of his feelings for Mu Shanshan, the aloof CEO.

It had already transitioned from liking to loving.

It was the kind of love where one could truly forsake the whole world for the other.

“I really, really love you.

I once tried to imagine what I would do without you, but I couldn’t find an answer.

Because, halfway through, I suddenly realized.

I’ve gotten used to having you, I don’t want and can’t be without you.

Wife, I love you.”

Lin Fei spoke softly, and his embrace was gentle.

But the sentiment was incredibly heavy.

It wasn’t the first time Mu Shanshan, the aloof CEO, had heard “I love you” from Lin Fei, her nominal husband.

However, it was the first time, in the presence of a third party, that she heard “I love you” from Lin Fei.

Of course, that wasn’t the main thing.

The main thing was, somehow, this time, the usually cold Mu Shanshan seemed to truly resonate emotionally with Lin Fei, her nominal husband.

What Lin Fei said seemed to have completely reached her heart.

Making her feel warm and soft all over.

This feeling was something Mu Shanshan had never experienced before.

At that moment, she felt as if she had truly grasped that elusive happiness.

She felt so incredibly happy.

At that moment, Mu Shanshan seemed to have completely forgotten the presence of Butcher, the third party.

The woman lost her usual aloof demeanor.

She was like a young girl, first embraced by love, wishing time would forever pause at this moment.

She wanted to tightly embrace this very real sense of happiness.

At this moment, Mu Shanshan, wrapped in layers of dense affection and sweetness, was undoubtedly very content and happy.

She was really so happy…
