My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Ge Chen didn't care about other's nasty talk. He didn't care what they talked about him. Actually, aside from the people who sided with Ge Junjie, no one dared to talk about him behind his back. However, just because they let him go didn't mean they would let his wife go. Xue Lin wasn't from a powerful family. Though she was the best friend of Mu Lan, Mu Lan wasn't married to Mu Liang. That's why it didn't connect her with the Mu Family. Her only powerful background was the Su Family as the granddaughter-in-law. He was worried that those trash-talking might hurt Xue Lin.

To his surprise, Xue Lin wasn't bothered by it. Now he could only wait for the future. He wanted to see what she would do when they attacked her in public. He wanted to protect her but he also wanted to know what she was capable of.

Ge Chen said, "As long as you are okay with it, I've nothing to say. I hope you can handle them well."

"I may not look like it but I'm tough!" Xue Lin tried to flex her muscle by showing off her left arm but Ge Chen only saw a slender arm.

'She needs to eat more,' he thought. "I need something from you. Can you come with me for a moment?" He stood up and walked to the direction of the door.

Seeing him serious all of a sudden, she straightened her back. "Huh? Sure." She followed him silently. They met a maid in the corridor, she bowed silently toat them. Xue Lin quietly signaled her not to do that. To her, the maid isn't a slave. She is getting paid for her work. There is no need for the employee to bow to the employer. No one owes anything to each other. The maid froze and stood there in astonishment.

On the way, Ge Chen asked her, "Can you show me your angry expression?" He paused and turned to look at her.

Xue Lin stopped on the track. "I cannot show it to you unless I'm really angry."

"Very well." Ge Chen continued walking and they went upstairs. They went to their bedroom and Xue Lin opened her mouth to ask something.

But at that moment, Ge Chen pushed her on the wall and blocked her completely. It was already evening and so the room was dark.

Xue Lin was startled and her whole body froze. Chills ran down her spine. Her brain stopped processing what was going on.

Ge Chen seductively said, "We have been married for a week now but we haven't done anything. Don't you think you are being inconsiderate to your husband?" He smirked.

And then he saw it. A pair of grey light glowed in the dark. The light seemed to burn like fire. Xue Lin was extremely angry. "You said you would give me time." She said with extreme distrust and disgust.

Ge Chen froze as he heard her and then stepped back. He clapped twice and the light turned on. "Sorry, if I made you uncomfortable. I wanted to see you get angry, that's all… you don't look well. Are you okay?"

Xue Lin was lowering her head. Therefore, Ge Chen was unable to see her face. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do anything. I won't attack you without your permission, I swear." He sounded concerned. He stepped forward and reached out his right hand.

Xue Lin moved away and said, "Can you please leave this room? I want to stay alone for a while."

Ge Chen's hand paused in midair and took it away. "I understand. I'm sorry." He politely bowed and left. After closing the door, he told himself, 'There is no doubt about it. Her eyes glowed. I didn't hallucinate… but didn't she overreact just now? She always avoids men. Why is that?' Remembering her looking down and her way of speaking made him curious and upset at the same time. 'I should do something to make her happy.'

After he left, Xue Lin slipped and sat on the floor. Her whole body was shaking. She hugged herself tightly and told herself, 'Why are you acting like this, Lin? You knew that you two would get in a physical relationship one day. That's what marriage is. If you behave like this, he will try to find out the reason behind it. If you don't want that, control yourself. You mustn't be scared. You are not alone. You can do this. It was just a prank; he didn't mean any harm. It's okay, everything will be fine. Don't be such a scaredy cat. Calm down… calm down…' She recited 'calm down' multiple times till her body stopped shaking. She hadn't been scared for a long time now. So, it had shaken her up quite a bit. She breathed slowly and deeply. It calmed her down. When she looked at the clock, she realized that thirty minutes had passed.

"Sigh! What am I doing? How will I face him if I act this way?" She hit her head on the wall and scolded herself, "Idiot!"

She noticed that she was sweating, so she took a bath. She stayed in the balcony for a long time before her maid Suzuka came to tell her, "Young Mistress, your dinner is ready."

Xue Lin was surprised. "You are still here. I told your sister that I don't need personal maids."

Suzuka said with determination, "Young Mistress, we are your servants and we will go down to hell for you if we must."

Xue Lin shook her head helplessly. "Oh, please don't act so patriotic. Moreover, didn't I eat a moment ago? Are you guys trying to turn me into a pig?"

Suzuku hesitated before saying, "It's not like that, Young Mistress. Young Master wishes to dine with you."

'Is it because of that?' Xue Lin thought. She stood up and walked past her. Before leaving, she told the maid, "Don't call me 'Young Mistress' all the time. Try to avoid talking like that in front of me. When someone speaks like that I feel like they are trying to butter me up."
