CHAPTER 844: CHAPTER 846: THREE TO FIVE MONTHS? THIRTY MINUTES!

Night.

Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, was staying at the Star Hotel.

Presidential suite.

The atmosphere carried an indescribable awkwardness and heaviness.

Lin Fei, with a face twisted in pain, was glaring angrily at Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO.

On the receiving end of the glare, Mu Shanshan looked like a child who had done something wrong, keeping her head down and remaining silent.

From time to time, she would occasionally steal a glance at Lin Fei. But when her gaze met Lin Fei’s, the woman would quickly lower her head again.

The situation between them, accompanied by Lin Fei’s occasional gasps for air, lasted for almost five minutes.

Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, took a few deep breaths silently, then raised her delicate head slightly, her charming eyes full of apology, and spoke to Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, I’m sorry. I, I didn’t do it on purpose."

The words were so soft, like a mosquito’s buzz, that if Lin Fei’s hearing wasn’t exceptional, he might not have heard them even though there were only two people in the room.

In fact, whether Lin Fei heard them or not made little difference. Because Lin Fei had no intention of paying attention to Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO.

Even though the woman had proactively apologized to him.

This had nothing to do with whether Lin Fei was reasonable or not; it was truly because Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, had bitten too hard. If Lin Fei hadn’t dodged to some extent, he might have been in serious trouble.

This wasn’t a joke!

Even though Lin Fei had extraordinary abilities, had his tongue been bitten off, he obviously wouldn’t have been spared.

As if seeing that Lin Fei, her convenient husband, had not yet calmed down, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, showed even deeper apology in her charming eyes.

Then the woman, somehow summoning the courage, moved closer to Lin Fei, very sincerely apologizing to Lin Fei again, saying, "Lin Fei, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to bite your tongue. I was just nervous for a moment, so, so I accidentally bit it. Moreover, you can’t blame me entirely for this; you started by—"

"So, my dear wife, are you saying I deserved to be bitten?!"

"I, I didn’t say that, you said it yourself."

"It doesn’t matter who said it. What I want to know now is, do you really think I deserved to be bitten?!"

"Lin Fei, you don’t need to trap me with words. I’m the one who bit you, I admit I was wrong, and I’ve apologized to you before. But the responsibility can’t be entirely mine. You kissed me without consent first. I, I might at most have acted in excessive self-defense!"

"Excessive self-defense? Mu Shanshan, you’re quite good at finding excuses for yourself!" Lin Fei, with his tongue hurting and numbing, suddenly questioned Mu Shanshan’s self-defense rhetoric, feeling both angry and amused.

If the two weren’t acquainted, Lin Fei might indeed deserve to be bitten. Moreover, if things escalated, Lin Fei might have been arrested.

However, the problem was that Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, were legally married.

They had received their marriage certificate, and just an hour ago, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, had nodded in agreement to Lin Fei’s proposal.

Thus, a typical marital affair was turned by Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, into a legal term like "excessive self-defense."

If outsiders heard this, it might become the topic of gossip.

"I have no intention of shirking responsibility; I’m merely stating an objective fact. If you hadn’t disrespected me first, why would I have bitten you? Lin Fei, I hope you can learn from this incident. Next time, next time, if you dare behave like this again, I’ll bite you again!"

"Mu Shanshan, may I understand it as you are threatening your husband?!"

"I, I don’t mean to threaten you. I don’t want to bite you, I’m just not prepared yet. I realize it was wrong. But, but I just can’t get past this hurdle in my heart. Lin Fei, I beg you, please give me more time. After all, I married you, you’ve given me your necklace, I’m destined to be the Lin family’s daughter-in-law. Just give me some more time. I promise I can adjust myself."

Seeing the coldness in Lin Fei’s eyes, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, showed rare vulnerability. In her final words, Mu Shanshan’s tone also carried a hint of pleading.

If it were any other matter, and his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, pleaded like this, Lin Fei would absolutely not mind indulging her.

However, when it came to the consummation of their marriage, Lin Fei was obviously not going to easily give up because of one or two sentences of his CEO wife’s soft pleading.

On a small scale, this was a marital affair issue. On a large scale, it concerned a man’s dignity and even the continuation of the Lin family lineage!

How could Lin Fei relent on such matters!

"My dear Shanshan wife, let’s settle this: from the moment we got married until now, it has been almost nine months. For these nine months, I’ve respected your wishes and refrained from doing anything too outrageous. Now that you’ve accepted my proposal and my necklace, you’re still asking for more time. You tell me, how much longer do you need? How long am I expected to wait? Nine months, or nine years?!"

Lin Fei’s angry rant seemed to occupy the moral high ground, so much so that Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, couldn’t find any reason to refute Lin Fei. Without a reason, her momentum naturally faltered. Invisibly, Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, was absolutely at a disadvantage.

Under Lin Fei’s cold gaze, stunned for over ten seconds, Mu Shanshan could only shake her head and whisper, "I, I don’t know..."

"Don’t know? So, are you saying I might have to wait for you forever?!"

"No, it’s not like that. I, I’ve already agreed to marry you. I like you. I have grown to like you; I’m sure I’ll be able to accept you soon. Lin Fei, please just give me a little more time. I promise it won’t take long, at most, at most it would be three—"

"Alright, I’ll give you thirty minutes! I’m going to take a shower now, and in thirty minutes, I’ll be back. If you haven’t prepared yourself mentally by then, don’t blame your husband for being tough."

Lin Fei interrupted Mu Shanshan’s pleading coldly, turning around and walking into the bathroom.

Leaving Mu Shanshan, the ice-cold CEO, alone, sitting dazed on the sofa, lost in thought.

The woman clearly couldn’t accept how her expected three to five months of emotional preparation had suddenly been reduced to a mere thirty minutes by Lin Fei, her convenient husband...
