"You mean, since you guys got married, he hasn't even bought you a ring?!"

Upon hearing Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, talk about how Lin Fei hadn't bought her a wedding ring, Xia Yutong's originally slightly hesitant, charming face darkened almost instantly!

If before Xia Yutong didn't think highly of Lin Fei only because she felt he wasn't good enough for Mu Shanshan the icy CEO, and thus felt somewhat aggrieved on Mu Shanshan's behalf, then now, after hearing what Mu Shanshan had said, that Lin Fei, despite having married her, hadn't even bought her a wedding ring...

Xia Yutong felt so infuriated she could kick Lin Fei limp!

"That bastard, from the way he spoke during dinner, I thought he had some redeeming qualities. Now it seems I was wrong. His brain must have been kicked by a donkey! Having a perfect wife like you, what more could he want? To have been married this long and yet not even think to buy you a ring. No, I'm going to ask him right now what Lin is really thinking!"

Feeling increasingly indignant for Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, Xia Yutong scolded Lin Fei and couldn't hold back. She immediately wanted to turn around and go out to confront Lin Fei for clarity.

"I don't allow you to go, this is a private matter between Lin Fei and me. I will handle it myself. I told you just so you wouldn't misunderstand my feelings for Lin Fei. We have other issues too, but that doesn't affect me liking him!"

The last four words from Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, were completely deliberate and decisive.

In matters of the heart, women rarely are so straightforward. Even when facing Lin Fei, her nominal husband, doing something that deeply moved her,

Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, had never revealed her feelings for Lin Fei like this.

If it hadn't been for Xia Yutong being overly intrusive and pressing, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, wouldn't have straightforwardly expressed her true emotions about Lin Fei.

According to Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO's usually chilly disposition, her ability to say the words "like him" represented the maximum extent of her emotional expression.

In some sense, for Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, admitting she likes Lin Fei took more courage than deciding a contract worth billions in one minute.

"Shanshan, I really don't understand you anymore. What is so good about Lin Fei? To be married this long and to not even think about buying a ring, what exactly do you like about him?!"

Knowing Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, well enough to have heard her say she liked Lin Fei, Xia Yutong's eyes widened in disbelief for several seconds. It took her quite some time to regain her composure, genuinely baffled by the inconsistency shown by Mu Shanshan.

More precisely, it was the overly complicated marital relationship between Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, and Lin Fei that had left her utterly bewildered.

Utterly bewildered!

Xia Yutong, although not married, had a few dating experiences, unlike Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, whose romantic experience was nearly nonexistent.

Even though her relationships all ended without illness or reason, Xia Yutong's romantic experiences were clearly stronger than those of Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, by more than a little.

Xia Yutong considered herself somewhat experienced. Initially, after meeting Lin Fei, she planned to offer some constructive advice for the future marital life of Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

However, as Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, spewed a series of somewhat contradictory emotional statements,

Xia Yutong felt confused.

"You married in such a confused state, and I'm really worried about your future married life," she said, seeing Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, furrow her brows as if deep in thought, not speaking. Deep down, Xia Yutong, who knew the woman's temperament well, realized that further questioning would likely yield no clear answers.

So, after sighing, the woman refrained from asking further about Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, and her private feelings towards Lin Fei.

"All I can be sure of now is that you like that man surnamed Lin. According to your personality, unless something unexpected happens, your marriage will continue. Now, I need to clarify a few questions. First, did Lin Fei agree to marry you just because of your father's wishes, because of you as a person, or because of your family's money?"

"Lin Fei doesn't lack money. Moreover, he's not interested in money," Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, said. Although her statement wasn't very definitive, the firmness in her eyes conveyed to Xia Yutong that she was not joking.

After all, she had spent considerable time with Lin Fei. Regarding Lin Fei, her frugal husband, and his attitude towards money, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, was very clear.

However, Xia Yutong obviously didn't have as much confidence in Lin Fei as Mu Shanshan did.

"Are you sure? Is there really a man in this world who isn't interested in money? You couldn't have been deceived by him, could you?!" Xia Yutong reflexively questioned Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO. Seeing the woman's momentarily icy beauty, Xia Yutong, who understood Mu Shanshan's temperament well, wisely nodded and admitted her mistake, saying, "All right, all right. I admit I misspoke again. Since you're so certain, it seems Lin Fei really isn't a greedy man."

"Then, now there's just one last question left. I need you to tell me whether Lin Fei truly loves you as he claimed during our dinner?!" As Xia Yutong asked this, she stared unblinkingly at Mu Shanshan until she saw flickers of evasion and doubt in the clear eyes of Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

Xia Yutong's lips then curled into a mocking cold smile, "It seems he doesn't love you as he claimed. Men really are no good!"

"Lin Fei, he respects me a lot. And I can feel that he truly cares about me."

"Anyone can say those words. Flattery and sweet talk are essentials for men when wooing us women. You say he cares about you; how can you prove it? Has he thought about proving it by buying you a ring after being married for so long, or by asking how your work is going after he arrives?"

After rebuking Mu Shanshan, Xia Yutong's eyes turned cold as she gently grasped Mu Shanshan's soft hand and said softly, "Shanshan, from what I see, you've mostly been deceived by Lin Fei's sweet words. If you don't believe it, I can prove it to you tonight."
