My stunning iceberg CEO wife

matter starts with Yu Xi’s mother.

When Yu Xi was twelve, she ‘lost’ her mother, but not in the true sense of the word.

It was all because of the old master’s tyranny and domineering ways.

He wouldn't allow Yu Xi's mother to have contact with other men, or even outsiders, thinking she was too

beautiful; being with anyone else would surely lead to something happening.

Out of worry, and compounded by the fact that the old master was often not at home, Yu Xi’'s mother fell into

depression and later had a car accident that left her in a vegetative state.

That's why Yu Xi detests domineering and unfaithful people; you've triggered her deepest grievances,” said Wu

Ma in one breath, as if revealing a great secret of the Liu Family.

Hearing Wu Ma’s words, Mu Chen felt a stir in his heart.

He hadn't realized Liu Yuxi had such a sorrowful past, no wonder she didn’t get along with Liu Qingshan from

birth; so that was the reason, and Mu Chen also understood why Liu Yuxi was so cold—her mother had been hurt

by a man, maybe she no longer trusted men.

“That's not right, Wu Ma,” Mu Chen interjected, “I remember when | first entered the villa, you toldYu Xi's

mother had passed away when Yu Xi was three!

Now you're saying she didn’t die, are you lying to me?”

“Son-in-law, please don’t be angry.

Miss instructednot to speak of this.

She hopes the fewer people know, the better.

But this is a critical moment, and | wanted to tell you in hopes you understand why Yu Xi is the way she is.”

“What can | do with my understanding?

It’s Yu Xi who wants to leave, to divorce; what can | do?” Mu Chen shook his head with a sigh.

“Son-in-law, although | know you're sincere towards Yu Xi, | really want to hear it from your own mouth—are you

willing to protect Yu Xi for a lifetime?”

“Even though I'm a bastard and a scoundrel, | will protect my woman for a lifetand not let her suffer any

harm, not even a little bit,” Mu Chen stated emphatically.

“Now that | have your word, | can rest easy.

And | can also tell you that | stole your agreement and gave it to the old master, and it's already destroyed.

You and Miss are rightfully husband and wife now.

Even if you went right now and had a go with Miss, it would be legal,” Wu Ma said with a smile.

“Holy crap, you can actually play it like that?

Seriously?” Mu Chen's gaze heated up.

“Seriously.”

“Damn it, should | go up there?

Men are all about their lower halves, but women prefer the ‘Big Mac.’ If | go hard, maybe she’ll be gentle with me

afterward!” Mu Chen thought to himself, his gaze flickering fiercely.

“No, Liu Yuxi is definitely not that kind of woman.

If I force her and she commits suicide, I would be vilified forever.

| can’t take the risk,” Mu Chen immediately shook his head again, unsure of what to do.

“Son-in-law, there's no need to rush, the agreement has been destroyed.

If Yu Xi wants to divorce, | believe you have a hundred and twenty ways to prolong the divorce.

By then, you won't be able to say you couldn't win over Yu Xi.

Don’t makedoubt your flirting skills,” Wu Ma said earnestly.

“Yeah!

Time!

Through soft begging and persistence, | refuse to believe | can’t melt this iceberg,” Mu Chen thought.

“Wait, Wu Ma, | just realized—you’re more skilled than me.

Your flirting technique is more terrifying than mine.

| must learn from you.”

“Son-in-law, don’t makelaugh.

I'm just a bystander with a clear view.

When it comes to flirting, you're the expert,” Wu Ma dismissed.

“Wu Ma, don’t be modest.

You just proved it.”

“Nonsense, I'm off to do the laundry.”

“Then I'm off, Wu Ma, to clear my head outside.”

“Mm.”

Mu Chen’s mood improved a bit, but not by much.

He could see that Liu Yuxi was determined to get a divorce, and her growing dislike for him made the path of

romance seem plunged into darkness again.

“Forget it, a smoke and a walk might dogood.

| might as well check if Shadow has settled things,” Mu Chen muttered as he quickly left the villa.

However, as soon as Mu Chen left, Shadow appeared before him without a sound, looking extremely grim.

“What happened?” Mu Chen changed his expression and asked upon seeing Shadow’s face.

“He got away.”

“You, at the Grandmaster Realm, let someone with a Purple Rank Peak aura escape?

Are you joking with me?”

“There's a strong presence around him, seems like Sky Net's Luo Pu Divine General.”

“Skyagain, it’s like a bad spirit that just won't die, always causing trouble,” Mu Chen said with a changed

expression.

“Boss, should | call Long Ying to join me?

The two of us, we are enough to take down everyone.”

“No, we don’t know their real strength yet.

Reckless action could lead to severe consequences, unless | join you.

But if | did, that would be an open challenge, plus there are too many unknown factors.

It’s a bit troublesome.”

“So boss, how about we investigate these Skyagents in Tianhai City first before making a move?”

“Fine, but letknow first, I'll see what I can do.”

“Understood, boss.”

“Anything else?” Mu Chen looked at Shadow, who hadn't left, and asked.

“Boss, | don’t understand emotional matters, but I know, there's a lot women can’t see.

They can be clueless, but you, boss, are aware and can think calmly.”

“Now you're lecturing me?

Alright, I'll consider what to do!”

“Okay boss, I'm leaving.”

“Get out of here.”

“Damn it, was | really that rude just now?

| didn’t snap his neck there and then just for Liu Yuxi’s sake.

If it were the old times, | would have done it without hesitation.

Too bad this is Yun Country,” Mu Chen said helplessly as he quickly walked away.

Soon, Mu Chen reached a small shop outside the Nanwan District, about a few hundred meters away.

As soon as he arrived, he said seriously, “Boss, a pack of Baisha.”

Are you sure you want something so cheap?

Wanna consider something pricier?”

“No need, I'm not picky.

Any cigarette will do.”

“Alright then!” Seeing Mu Chen's casual attitude, the owner quickly handed him a pack of Baisha.
