Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Breaking the stalemate is too easy for me. It's just that..."

He glanced over at Lin Wanxi with a smile, "It depends on Lin sister's attitude."

Lin Wanxi frowned slightly, "What, do I have to beg you to tell me?"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Don't you always call yourself a businessperson? You won't do a losing deal."

"I don't mind telling you, but at the very least, I need some return, right? I can't just waste my effort for nothing."

Hmph!

Lin Wanxi snorted coldly, "If you're going to negotiate terms with me, just say it, no need to beat around the bush!"

"Whatever benefit you want, just say it directly."

Chen Xuan smiled lightly, "I'm not asking you for benefits. I'm simply using legitimate means to obtain what's rightfully mine."

"You're trying to get the Jade Pendant from me again, aren't you?" Lin Wanxi glared at him.

Chen Xuan let out a laugh, "I don't want the Jade Pendant anymore. It was meant for my future wife to manage. It's already yours, why should I take it back?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanxi looked disdainful, "I haven't even admitted to being your wife yet, stop saying such things in front of me."

"Hurry up and say what benefit you want."

"Very simple!" Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I'll help you break Zhang Peng's scheme, and let me move into your bedroom as a real couple."

"You're shameless!" Lin Wanxi's face turned cold immediately, "Using this kind of thing to blackmail me, this is the act of a despicable person!"

Heh heh!

Chen Xuan laughed in anger, "You and I are already legally married. My request to share a room isn't despicable or shameless, is it?"

"Father-in-law, do you think my request is reasonable?"

Lin Zhiguo gave a dry laugh, "Yes, I think it's very reasonable."

"Wanxi, Chen Xuan is right. He's just reasonably fighting for a husband's rights; it's not an excessive request."

"Conversely, you haven't fulfilled your duty as a wife. In this aspect, I support Chen Xuan!"

Lin Wanxi gritted her teeth, "Hmph, Chen Xuan, you're just playing little tricks. It doesn't mean your tactics are that clever!"

"Your proposed solution might not even solve the actual problem—you're just admiring yourself!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Lin sister, you're wrong. Zhang Peng's way is what's called playing tricks; he can only be complacent for a while and is doomed not to last."

"My countermeasures involve strategy, the mindset is different!"

Heh heh!

Lin Wanxi sneered, "Are you still talking about strategy? You really think you're a strategist, huh!"

"If you have the skill, explain what makes your strategy different. If you don't dare to say, you're just pretending and shamelessly so!"

Chen Xuan shook his head and laughed, "Lin sister, using provocation tactics on me to trick me into talking."

"This is like showing off in front of a master; it's too elementary."

"You..."

Lin Wanxi looked resentful, not expecting to be seen through. This guy is really cunning.

But to make her bow down was absolutely impossible.

"Say it if you want, but don't think I can't live without you." Lin Wanxi huffed in annoyance.

Chen Xuan smiled playfully, "Alright, if you can come up with a coping strategy, then I congratulate you."

"If you can't think of a good solution, you're always welcome to come find me. I'll straighten it out for you in no time."

Lin Zhiguo was very anxious, "You two really... this isn't the time to be playing around."

"Chen Xuan, whatever good idea you have, hurry up and say it. Are you trying to make me anxious?"

"Father-in-law, keep calm, nothing major will happen," Chen Xuan smiled slightly, deliberately provoking Lin Wanxi.

For a woman who is too proud, you have to knock her down a peg now and then.

Otherwise, she would never put down her proud posture and have an equal conversation with him.

Anyway, he's not in a hurry, he let Lin Wanxi worry about it herself.

Lin Wanxi glared at Chen Xuan, fully aware of his intentions, and she would never let him have his way.

"Dad, we must stay calm and not lose our footing."

Lin Wanxi said softly, "I have an idea. Once the calming pills hit the market, we'll use them as a stepping stone to break the deadlock!"

She explained her envisioned plan.

Lin Zhiguo smacked his lips, standing there thinking seriously about whether this plan was feasible.

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded slightly; Lin Wanxi, as the president, still had some skills.

Being able to come up with this coping strategy was already quite impressive.

"Chen Xuan, what's your opinion on Wanxi's plan?" Lin Zhiguo looked at Chen Xuan to seek his opinion.

Lin Wanxi immediately snorted, "Dad, that question is redundant! You really think he knows everything and understands everything."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Overall, the idea is fine, but the feasibility is low. The success rate in breaking the deadlock is only sixty percent; it's hard to truly defeat Zhang Peng."

"Heh, like you understand it so well!" Lin Wanxi laughed coldly, "Then go ahead and explain how you calculated that success rate."

"Want to know? Come to my room tonight, and I'll tell you," Chen Xuan said playfully.

Hmph!

Lin Wanxi snorted softly, turning her head to ignore him.

Chen Xuan seemed relaxed because he knew tonight Lin Wanxi wouldn't be able to hold back and would actively come to his room.

Only by completely gaining the upper hand with Lin Wanxi could he make this inherently proud female president bow down to him.

He's in no hurry, just going home to wait tonight without worrying that Lin sister won't come to his room...
