Chapter 840: Chapter 842: The Proposal in Progress (Part 2)

“Ah?! I, I already, already married you—Ah?! You, are you proposing to me?!”

After hearing what her sham husband Lin Fei said, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, was truly surprised.

It was genuine surprise that, if someone were nearby, they could completely tell. Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, was stunned to an incredible degree.

The woman’s tender cherry lips opened so wide that they could almost fit an egg.

From this, one could roughly deduce what kind of turmoil was stirring in Mu Shanshan’s heart.

If Lin Fei hadn’t roughly explained it beforehand, relying solely on Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO’s emotional intelligence, she might never have figured it out.

Lin Fei set up such a romantic scene to propose to her!

Too sudden!

Not a shred of mental preparation!

To a woman like Mu Shanshan, who has almost zero dating experience, something as suddenly romantic as a proposal is clearly not something she could conceive of.

Thus, the fact that she could even realize from Lin Fei’s explanation that he was proposing was already no small feat.

Familiar with Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO’s temperament, Lin Fei could more or less guess her mental activities and felt helpless in his heart.

Obviously, it’s not worth it to really blame the woman for being slow to react.

Sighing deeply, Lin Fei patiently explained and reassured Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, “Wife, I know my actions might be a bit sudden. It’s just that such a thing can’t be told in advance according to common sense. Of course, technically speaking, we’re already legally married. Me proposing might seem redundant. I debated for a while before deciding to propose to you. Because I don’t want your life to have any regrets.”

“When we got our marriage license, it was indeed a bit too rushed. But that doesn’t interfere with my love for you. For me, being able to marry you is the greatest happiness of my life so far. So, I want to propose to you. I want our married life to be more fulfilling. I want to hear you say with your own mouth that you’re willing to marry me. Now, please tell me, wife, are you willing to marry me, to be my wife, to let me love you, cherish you, and protect you, to be your husband for life?”

He’s too smooth, too sentimental. Seriously, how can anyone say so many sweet words at once, what if he won’t say them to her in the future.

Mu Shanshan, wrapped in a profound sense of happiness in her heart, was completely melted by Lin Fei’s incredibly sentimental proposal.

Almost the instant Lin Fei finished speaking, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, blurted out, “I will—”

Seeing that the last word was about to slip out, the woman forcibly swallowed it back.

Are you kidding me!

Being manipulated so by his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei couldn’t help but mentally complain. If it weren’t for not wanting to personally break the rare warm atmosphere between them. Of course, the main reason was not wanting to leave any bad memories of this proposal.

Lin Fei might have instantly wanted to enforce the family laws on her right then and there.

It’s not fun to be toyed with like this. If this keeps up, she might give him a heart attack.

After all, this is a proposal. It’s the first time in his life, and basically, the only time.

If you say Lin Fei had no tension or expectations in his heart, that would obviously be impossible.

If the scenario where Mu Shanshan nearly says something then swallows it back were to happen a few more times, even if Lin Fei wouldn’t have heart trouble,

he’d surely be driven crazy!

But regardless of how Lin Fei felt, it was clear Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, wouldn’t be bothered.

Even though she was moved by Lin Fei’s previous affectionate words, in a sudden flash, she recalled scenes from TV dramas she regularly watched, about how the male lead proposed to the female lead.

Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, simply wouldn’t easily nod and say yes.

Ring!

No ring!

If it’s a proposal, how could there not be a ring!

No ring, and he wants her to nod and say yes, dream on!

As for what his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, was thinking, Lin Fei truly hadn’t considered. After all, the woman was too surprised earlier.

Of course, the main thing was that Lin Fei had already anticipated and planned out the entire proposal process tonight.

After waiting for a long while without Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife’s nod of agreement, Lin Fei couldn’t help but remind her, “Wife, it’s really tiring to kneel like this. Quickly nod and say yes, we have other things to do afterward.”

“I—don’t—want—to!”

Come on, what gives!

Never in his wildest dreams did Lin Fei expect Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, to say she didn’t want to, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.

It must be an auditory hallucination!

Even with as strong a mental constitution as Lin Fei, he started to doubt his ears.

No way, the plot development was far too unexpected for him.

Even though being rejected in a proposal isn’t exactly unheard of, statistically speaking, out of ten proposers, at least two or three are probably turned down.

But, the problem is, Lin Fei wasn’t an ordinary proposer!

They’re already married, and the proposal was just a formality for goodness’ sake!

No way, she doesn’t want to?! How are we supposed to live after this!

“Shanshan darling, what did you just say? I didn’t catch it. Perhaps you could tell me again, louder.”

“I said, I don’t want to!”

“Reason, I’m giving you five seconds to give me a reason that can convince me!”

“You know yourself!”

“You have three seconds left to redeem yourself!”

As the words fell, Lin Fei, who had already gotten up from the ground, pulled Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, directly into his embrace. If she couldn’t present a reason within three seconds that satisfied him, Lin Fei was absolutely not going to hold back.

Realizing her sham husband, Lin Fei, wasn’t joking, Mu Shanshan wasn’t bothered to beat around the bush with him anymore.

Held in Lin Fei’s arms, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, was fearless as she stared directly at Lin Fei and coldly scolded, “You yourself said you were going to propose to me, but you didn’t even have a ring ready! If you don’t give me a ring, I won’t agree to your proposal!”

At this moment, Mu Shanshan had an unexpectedly few traces of a little woman’s arrogance.

Obviously, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, cared greatly about the ring in her heart…
