"You shunned me."

"Am I still your wife?"

"Of course. Hush, hush." With his right hand, he cradled the back of her head and pushed it gently forward so that it got buried on his shoulder and chest.

The wife consequently dipped her face onto the nook his neck as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Her left hand grabbed her right wrist, locking Chen Linyun in her arms, literally.

Xue Jinxu rubbed her face amorously onto his clothes while sniffing his scent – a small habit of hers. "Ghad, I miss you, dear."

"I miss you too, honey. I'm really sorry. I lost myself for a while there." He seethed between his teeth, as his breathing grew heavier.

'd.a.m.n. I miss my wife too much.' It was the X-rated type of missing her. 'Control, control.' He thought.

Sensing his body's reaction, she smiled wickedly, pulled herself away and locked gazes with him. "But we haven't resolved the issue yet, have we?"

Chen Linyun kissed her forehead. "You don't know how to give up, do you?"

"Give up? What's that?" She said mockingly. "So, mister? How do you want to proceed?"

"Can we continue in the bedroom?" He asked with ragged breathing.

The lady rolled her eyes. She instantly knew that she's having the leverage in here, right at this very moment. The husband wanted her, but she wouldn't simply allow him to have his way without getting a compromise.

"We still have something to resolve. Have you forgotten? Is that how it should be, you just say sorry and everything's all settled?"

Chen Linyun let out a sharp sigh. "Alright. I'm willing to reconsider. Lay down your business proposal on the table. Come to think of it, you haven't presented it clearly yet…"

"That's because you won't listen. Not my fault. Hmph."

Chen Linyun couldn't help smiling. His wife was acting so childish right now, not fitting a former COO nor an heiress, more like a spoiled kid. Well, maybe it fits her well as an heiress. Deep within him, he knew that Xue Jinxu only acted this way in front of him. It's something for his eyes only.

"I'm all ears now. Let's resolve it quickly. Then, let's move on to the next agenda." He said teasingly, implying something they both knew.

The wife rolled her eyes some more, not ready to give in easily.
