"Miss, you've been busy all day, let me take Keke for a bath."

After dinner, Aunt Lan, who had tidied up the dining table, saw Mu Shanshan about to take Keke to the bathroom for a bath. Considering Shanshan had worked all day, Aunt Lan immediately offered to take Keke from her and lead her to the bathroom to bathe.

"No need, Aunt Lan, I'll do it. I didn't do much at the company today, so I'm not tired. Plus, you've been taking care of Keke all day, you must be tired too. You still have to put her to sleep at night. So, let me handle the bath."

Intent on strengthening her bond with Keke, Mu Shanshan happily went to bathe with her. After Shanshan finished speaking, Aunt Lan didn't say much more.

Lin Fei, however, got up and stopped Mu Shanshan, "Honey, let Aunt Lan take Keke for a bath. I have some private matters between us I want to talk to you about."

"What can't be said in front of Aunt Lan and Keke?"

"I already said it's a private matter between us, how am I supposed to bring it up otherwise?"

As Lin Fei's words fell, before Shanshan could speak, Aunt Lan casually approached her, picked up Keke and indicated to Shanshan, "Miss, since master-in-law has something to discuss with you, I'll take Keke for a bath."

After saying that, without giving Shanshan any chance to refuse, Aunt Lan took Keke to the bathroom.

Watching Aunt Lan and Keke enter the bathroom, Shanshan frowned slightly, her eyes displeased as she stared at Lin Fei, "If your so-called private matters between us concern Meng Ke'er, I don't think there's any need for us to continue this discussion!"

"Honey, you misunderstood." Hearing the coldness in Shanshan's words, Lin Fei approached her, pulled her into his arms without explaining, and said, "Since I mentioned it's private between us, it surely concerns only the two of us. Meng Ke'er has nothing to do with our private matters."

"What exactly do you want to say?!"

"It's simple, do you remember agreeing to my proposal in the New Star Forest?"

"Of course—" Initially intending to say she remembered, Shanshan hesitated, considering Lin Fei's mention of private matters. Mostly, she sensed from his heated gaze on her that he might bring up something next.

Hence, she abruptly held back her intended words, shook her head seemingly absentmindedly, and responded to Lin Fei, "I, I don't know what you're talking about. Lin Fei, let me go, I'm tired. I want to take a bath and then sleep."

Saying this, Shanshan struggled to break free from Lin Fei's embrace.

However, Lin Fei, with purposes of his own, obviously couldn't let Shanshan go so easily.

"Shanshan, my dear wife, you're really amusing me. You're wearing the engagement necklace I gave you, yet you claim you don't know what I'm talking about? Tired, and want to take a bath and sleep? Fine, I'm also tired, let's bath together and then sleep together!"

"No, no way!"

"What's not possible? Are you trying to tell me now that you've suddenly lost feelings for me?!"

"No, it's not like that. I, I—"

"Since it's not about losing feelings, then there's no other issue. Truth be told, we've been married for quite some time. Moreover, you already accepted my proposal earlier. Since you still have feelings for me, we should quickly end this nominally married status. Why not make it happen tonight?"

Under Lin Fei's seemingly reasonable persuasion, Shanshan's face turned crimson, and her once strong resistance softened.

At the same time, Shanshan's pre-prepared excuses for fleeing were evidently stuck in her throat.

Thus, nestled in Lin Fei's arms, Shanshan lowered her head in silence before squeezing out words that left Lin Fei speechless, "I, I'm not ready yet..."

Not being ready didn't mean unwillingness.

It was purely a lack of psychological and physiological preparation.

This undoubtedly was a true reflection of Shanshan's current mental state, somehow also a testament to her very limited dating experience.

Unlike other young women, having lost her mother early and her own cold nature, she counted only Xia Yutong as her friend, and they were separated by an ocean.

And Lin Fei was Shanshan's first love.

Thus, with little dating experience, having never been involved with a man, Shanshan felt a deep-rooted sense of uncertainty and helplessness about being with Lin Fei.

When faced with the unknown, people often experience this kind of uncertainty and helplessness.

Just like Shanshan now, although she had confirmed her feelings for Lin Fei and accepted his proposal, even recognizing Keke as a daughter due to Lin Fei.

Still, when facing something she never experienced before, Shanshan was understandably flustered and at a loss.

Realizing Shanshan's current mental state, Lin Fei truly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Fortunately, after years of experience with romantic matters, Lin Fei was very perceptive in these matters.

Holding his CEO wife, Lin Fei remained silent for a moment, then patiently tried to reassure her, "Honey, the matters between a man and woman aren't as complicated as you think. Don't overthink it, and you really shouldn't pressure yourself too much. Because, this is something that will happen sooner or later. Considering you're already Keke's mom, we should formalize our marriage for her sake."

"Only if we get together quickly, you can get pregnant and have a brother or sister for Keke. That way, she'd have a companion to help her grow—"

"Wait a minute! Did you just say pregnant?!"

"Yeah, I mean pregnant. Honey, we're married, we should have a child of our own." Seeing Shanshan's eyes filled with hidden concerns, Lin Fei subconsciously thought she wasn't ready to have kids.

Thus, Lin Fei gently comforted her, "Of course, if you're not ready to have kids, we can wait a year or two. But tonight, we must—"

"Prenuptial exam!"

"What?!"

"You just mentioned pregnancy, which reminded me. Although we're married, we haven't done a prenuptial exam." With her unwavering eyes fixed on Lin Fei, Shanshan seriously, with an almost unquestionable tone, addressed him, "I consulted an expert before, who advised me to have you take the prenuptial exam together. If you didn't mention pregnancy, I would've forgotten. For the sake of our future child's health, we must take the prenuptial exam first!"
