The next morning.

In a coffee shop near the Star Hotel where the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan is staying.

Lin Fei and Yang Chenlong sit facing each other. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Boss, what happened to your neck?"

"Last night, your sister-in-law kissed me."

"That can’t be right. If your sister-in-law just kissed you, you should only have some lipstick marks on your neck. How do you explain this bite mark?"

"Last night, your sister-in-law accidentally bit me in her sleep."

"That doesn’t make sense. Your sister-in-law is so elegant and beautiful. She doesn’t seem like someone who bites people."

"Will it kill you to ask fewer questions?!"

"Boss, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even bother asking. The reason I’m asking in such detail is because I care about your relationship with my sister-in-law. After all, you and she were at my house last night. If you quarreled because of something that happened at my house, I should go apologize to your sister-in-law right away."

"Go ahead, your sister-in-law happens to be in the room right now."

"Okay, boss, you see, you should at least tell me the reason you quarreled with your sister-in-law. I need to know how to apologize when I see her."

"Are you sure you want to know?!"

"Absolutely!" Promising with great confidence, Yang Chenlong leaned closer to Lin Fei and whispered seriously, "Boss, don’t you trust me? No matter what happens between you and your sister-in-law, as long as you tell me, I’ll never tell a third person. Boss, speak up - you’ll feel a lot better."

"You’re asking for this, don’t regret it once you’ve heard it."

With a casual warning, Lin Fei gave Yang Chenlong no chance to refuse. With a cold smile playing at his lips, Lin Fei began explaining to Yang Chenlong why the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan bit his neck.

This starts with Mu Shanshan’s best friend, Xia Yutong. And the root of the issue lies with Yang Chenlong.

That’s one of the reasons Lin Fei, knowing how busy the Yang Family is, invited Yang Chenlong out for coffee today.

Due to a prior visit to the Yang Family’s villa to wish Old Master Yang a happy birthday, Xia Yutong accidentally offended Yang Chenlong while venting for the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan.

After witnessing Xu Lengxuan and other Fish Lion members kneeling for Yang Chenlong, Xia Yutong had a lingering fear, realizing some of Yang Chenlong’s terrifying power.

Women are, by nature, more emotional than rational. Once their mind gets disturbed, over 90% of women experience a linear decline in rationality.

Just like last night, fearing Yang Chenlong’s retaliation, Xia Yutong thought, considering Lin Fei and Yang Chenlong’s "comradeship" and Yang Chenlong’s respect for the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan.

With a sudden crazy idea, she wanted Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei to divorce for a few days, allowing her to marry Lin Fei.

"Shanshan, think about it. I may just marry Lin Fei for a few days, but we’ve technically been married. I can call myself Lin Fei’s ex-wife, and Yang Chenlong definitely won’t retaliate. Please, Shanshan, for my safety, lend me your husband for a few days."

This was Xia Yutong’s request, leaving the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan stunned and Lin Fei almost exploding with fury!

The reason Lin Fei was furious and Mu Shanshan left a noticeable bite mark on Lin Fei’s neck wasn’t actually due to Xia Yutong’s ridiculous words and ideas.

It was because Xia Yutong didn’t explain clearly at first. She only mentioned borrowing Lin Fei for a few days, prompting the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan to divorce him quickly.

Divorce and quickly!

Last night, when the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan heard Xia Yutong’s words, her rage was beyond words. If Xia Yutong hadn’t said those words, Mu Shanshan might have become violent then.

In fact, the aloof CEO Mu Shanshan did get violent last night.

Naturally, the target of her aggression wasn’t Xia Yutong but indeed her cheap husband, Lin Fei.

Misunderstanding Lin Fei for secretly hooking up with Xia Yutong, her emotions were intense when she attacked him last night.

The bite mark on Lin Fei’s neck says it all.

If Xia Yutong hadn’t intervened and urgently explained things, the matter could have escalated beyond just teeth marks on Lin Fei’s neck.

"...That’s how it is, ultimately, if blame were to be laid, Xia Yutong would hold most of the responsibility. As for you —"

"Boss, what did you say? I can’t hear you! Oh no, my hearing has been acting up lately. Boss, sorry, I can’t sit here and have coffee with you. I have to rush to the hospital to check my ears. I suspect it’s intermittent tinnitus. If I delay, maybe my ears will be permanently damaged. Boss, goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chenlong immediately tried to leave.

Truthfully, he had already prepared to flee while covering his ear and talking to Lin Fei. The instant he finished speaking, Yang Chenlong was already on his feet, leaving the table.

"Feel free to leave now, but about the East Luoya base manager position, I might call Xue Zhi and ask him to reconsider the candidates."

As Lin Fei spoke, Yang Chenlong, who had been leaving the table, sat back opposite Lin Fei ten times faster than when he stood up.

"Boss, I believe I’m quite suitable to be the manager for the East Luoya base. I grew up in East Luoya, and within our organization, everyone has their own responsibilities except you. I mean, within our organization’s high ranks, I’m relatively free, and I think the position is perfect for me!"

"Initially, I thought so too. But, Little Dragon, you mentioned having intermittent tinnitus. I’ve decided to give you a year’s leave to recover."

"Boss, here it’s just the two of us. Be straightforward about what you want from me. As long as it’s within my capacity, I won’t hesitate."

Lin Fei was generally satisfied with Yang Chenlong’s straightforwardness and didn’t continue teasing him.

Taking a sip from his coffee cup, Lin Fei smacked his lips and said, "It’s simple, tonight I want to propose to your sister-in-law. Help me arrange it well."
