My stunning iceberg CEO wife

24: Chapter 23 Life is Like a Play 24: Chapter 23 Life is Like a Play Following that, Ao Xue behaves as if she’s

blocking Mu Chen out entirely, pretending not to hear whatever Mu Chen says, and quietly maintains her

beautiful composure.

“We're here, the CEO's office is inside.” Ao Xue seriously says to Mu Chen.

“Ao Xue, my beauty, aren’t you worried you won't find a boyfriend with such a cold attitude?”

“It’s none of your business.” Ao Xue responds as she turns to leave.

“Spicier by the minute, | like that, especially that butt of yours.

The way you move it, very nice.” Mu Chen watches Ao Xue's voluptuous figure and comments with a smile.

However, right after Mu Chen laments, he immediately enters the CEO's office, preferring to tease Liu Yuxi over

the beautiful goddess, Ao Xue.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” Liu Yuxi frowns as she looks at Mu Chen from her office seat.

At this moment, Liu Yuxi is wearing a black lace dress with densely packed stripes at the chest, adding a touch

more allure.

Paired with her fair, beautiful face, she leaves Mu Chen involuntarily swallowing his saliva.

For a woman to be this stunning, she truly has no rivals.

But Mu Chen quickly recovers and says earnestly, “I don’t have that habit, although I know it's a bad one.

But I still do it because | think that in front of Yu Xi, we should be intimate and loving towards each other.”

“Shameless.

Can't you get rid of your indecent rogue image so that | might think better of you?”

“Can't do.

I have to be myself; that's the true color of a hero.”

“You...

Forget it, I'm not in the mood to argue with you today.

| called you here for two things.”

“What are they?”

“Firstly, you might not like it, but | have to tell you, working in the sales department is just a cover.

Your real job is as a bodyguard for Qingcheng International.”

“What do you mean?” Mu Chen frowns, sensing a bad feeling.

“It means you're still a bodyguard, the kind that protects our safety.”

“No way, it's too much trouble.

I'm not interested.” Mu Chen immediately rejects.

“Then I'm sorry, if you don’t want the job, then leave.

Qingcheng International does not support useless people, even if you did save me.

I'll repay that favor in another way.”

“Yu Xi, are you really being this ruthless?”

“Absolutely ruthless.”

“There's no room for consideration?”

“None whatsoever.”

“I want to know, as a bodyguard, who exactly am | protecting?”

“Me, Ao Xue, and Tong Lisha.” Liu Yuxi says seriously.

“Really?” Mu Chen's eyes light up, his listlessness replaced with boundless enthusiasm.

“Yes, and you'll be protecting us covertly in the company.

Recently, someone has targeted us, and | had no choice but to make this arrangement.”

“Don’t explain further.

Your safety is my responsibility.

I'm on it.” Mu Chen says earnestly.

After all, being a bodyguard isn’t the sas being a security guard.

He just needs to protect a few people covertly.

He can manage that.

Besides, these are major beauties, the company’s top three.

Cultivating feelings with them will fill each day with motivation.

Not bad at all.

“Mu Chen, our main office is on the sixteenth floor.

| hope you'll protect us well.”

“Don’t worry, | always keep my word.”

“That's more like it.”

“Alright, what's the second matter?”

“I want you to marry me.” Liu Yuxi says seriously.

“Are—are you not joking?” Mu Chen rapidly retreats, steadying himself against a nearby sofa, his expression

changing.

“No joke.”

“Do we have feelings for each other?”

“None.”

“How many times have we met?”

“Today's the second time.”

“So, did you forget to take your meds before you left htoday?”

“Get lost.

Just answerthis: will you marryor not?”

“Marry, of course I'll marry.

A great beauty is offering herself up to me, I'd be a fool to say no.”

“Then that’s settled, we'll go through the formalities tomorrow.” Liu Yuxi says nonchalantly.

“You're really serious, aren't you!” Mu Chen's heart skips a beat, realizing Liu Yuxi is earnest.

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“My father is forcingto marry someone | don't like, so | might as well just get married straight away.

This way, he can’t interfere withanymore.

It's as simple as that.”

“The reason is barely passable, but I'm curious, what do you see in me?”

“First, you're strong, so you can protectwithout any issue.

Second, you've savedbefore, and although you're rogue, you're not a bad person.

Marrying you would put my mind at ease.”

“Marrying this rogue would be the real deal for not keeping at ease, wouldn't it!” Mu Chen swallows hard.

“Don’t get too excited.

Although we're getting married, it's a fake marriage, just to appease my father.” Liu Yuxi states seriously.

“What?

What do you takefor?

So many innocent girls and wives want to marry me.

Now you're talking about a fake marriage.

What about my pride?

I refuse.”

“I'll provide for you, along with a salary of one hundred thousand a month.”

“Letthink about it...”

“Alright, that’s more like it.”

“Get lost.

Take it or leave it.” Liu Yuxi loses her temper, furious with Mu Chen.

“Plus, you can’t restrict my flirting or control- that’s what | fear most with women.”

“Fine, but you must also promise not to reveal any news about our marriage.”

“Agreed.”

“Mu Chen, thank you.” Liu Yuxi suddenly expresses her gratitude.

“No need to thank me.

How about a kiss to show your gratitude?” Mu Chen says with a smile.

“Get lost...

as if | never said anything...”

“Who's your father?”

“He used to manage Qingcheng International, but handed it over totwo years ago.”

“So he’s quite a notable figure then.”

“Yes, exactly.”

“Do you get along well?”

“Not really, | don’t acknowledge him.”

“If you don’t acknowledge him, then why worry about him getting you married off?”

“He’s still my father.

| don’t want to be bothered by him constantly.”

“Who was he trying to marry you off to?”

“Syoung master from Yundu.

| don’t know the specifics.”

“Yundu, it figures.” Mu Chen is unsurprised.

“So Mu Chen, marryingisn’t a joke.

You'd better prepare for the worst.”

“I like a challenge, and there’s no one in this world that I'm afraid of.”

“Sometimes, | feel you're quite reliable.”

“So, are we husband and wife now?” Mu Chen suddenly smiles, stepping closer to Liu Yuxi.

“What are you doing?”

“Since we're going to get married,

shouldn't we start Yiggaen mM
