My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

’She let her guard down when she gets free food. She is more childish than I thought. This is the first time I saw her smiling.’ Ge Chen’s gaze softened as he kept looking at her warmly.

At the same time, "Look at him. He turned into a Romeo from a Hermit. I’ve never seen him smile like that." Louis commented. He was sitting opposite of Xue Lin and Ge Chen and he saw everything. He has been following his friend since the morning.

Ming Yu replied, "Me neither." He was looking at Ge Chen in awe. He never saw Ge Chen smiling so warmly.

Louis put his right elbow on the table and rested his face on the back of his hand. "Ming, do you think that his plan will work?"

Ming Yu looked at Xue Lin and answered, "She suddenly looks happy though."

Louis said, "She is happy because of food. Not because of him."

"And who is providing free food?" Ming Yu averted his gaze.

Louis sighed. "I can’t believe he just bought this pastry shop and offered free food for the couples only to sit with her. No couple will sit with a girl so he took this chance. Chen is amazing."

Ming Yu nodded. "I never thought he would do something like this either. He bought the pastry shop in ten minutes. Only because she is here and he wanted to sit with her. The couples saw a free food event outside the shop and came here. After the room filled with couples only then he went inside. Of course, she couldn’t say ’no’ when the room was filled."

"She will certainly not marry a rich man after she has suffered like this. She most certainly isn’t going to marry a man from the Ge Family. And Chen is both rich and from the Ge Family. I’ll just wait and see how he gets her in the end." Louis was looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, Xue Lin was already thinking about how many tasty pastries she’s going to eat. Seeing Ge Chen taking a piece of pastry inside his mouth, she recalled that he was about to say something. "Hey, you were about to say something about your life. I want to hear more."

Ge Chen put down and spoon and wiped his mouth calmly. He knew the perfect table manner.

Then, he opened his mouth and said, "Since you want to hear, I won’t keep you waiting. I was born into a wealthy family. My mother was the CEO of her own company just like my father. Their marriage was arranged. My mother had genuine feelings for my father but he had a mistress behind her back. And he made her pregnant. After he took her home, my mother lost all her hope and one day she just died. My maternal grandfather couldn’t save my mother even though he had lots of money. After all, it was her mental health that was dying. After she died, father tried to snatch my mother’s company but my mother put it under my name. He couldn’t take a single penny. When he told me to help him, I refused. He threw me out of the house. I grew up with my maternal grandfather and grandmother. He let his illegitimate son succeed him but his company is going down since he is nothing but a playboy. His brain is too dumb to think about something else. Now my paternal grandfather thinks that to keep the company going I have to marry into a rich family. I refused but I’m not sure if it’ll work"

"That’s unforgivable!" Xue Lin clenched her fists and also slammed the table but controlled herself as the pastries came one by one and filled the table. "Not just your father is a scoundrel, your grandfather is also a scoundrel. You are already kicked out by your father, so why does your grandfather want to force you to marry someone you don’t want to? He’s just similar to that trashy old geezer who wanted me to marry his filthy grandson. All grandfathers are the worst!"

She vented her anger as she put half of the pastry on her mouth and chewed it. She finished the whole pastry and looked at Ge Chen. Her tone softened as she said, "It must be hard on you."

Ge Chen sighed. He didn’t hide from her. "Sometimes, it is."

Xue Lin asked, "Has your paternal grandfather helped you mentally even for once?"

"He supported me since I’m a legitimate child. He also liked my mother a lot. That’s why he suggested this marriage. However, he also wanted me to help my father and his illegitimate child in the company."

Xue Lin took another pastry. "It could be because he is after your mother’s company."

Ge Chen shrugged. "If he wanted, he could snatch it away but he didn’t."

Xue Lin said, "He just didn’t want to play dirty."

Ge Chen nodded. "You are right. He was afraid that his relationship with my maternal grandfather would ruin if he did. But now he has no other option left since the company is going down because of that stupid idiot and his mother who loves spending."

"That’s it then. All he cared about is his company and reputation. However, he still couldn’t control his own son. Since the situation is getting out of control, he is forcing his grandson. What a coward!" Xue Lin’s temper rose again. "Just punch that old geezer if he nags you to marry again. Never give up on your dream. Fight for it as long as you live. If you do that, even fate will agree to help you."

Ge Chen chuckled. He couldn’t contain his laughter. He would never dream about punching that old geezer though he suffered a lot and she just put it so bluntly that it was a matter of course. "I cannot do that. The family is very powerful. After all, it’s the Ge Family I’m talking about."

Xue Lin froze. ’Ge Family? It sounds familiar...’ Only then she remembered that the family who made her life upside down is the Ge Family. The old geezer who almost ruined her life is Ge Chen’s trashy parental grandfather. That’s why when her parents mentioned Ge Chen’s mother, that mistress didn’t look good. It was easy to understand that the whole Ge Family not only ruined her life, but they also didn’t think for a second to destroy their own son’s happiness.

If they aren’t ruthless then who is?

Xue Lin looked at Ge Chen carefully while frowning. The more she thought about it, the more she disliked that so-called wealthy family.

Ge Chen stopped smiling after noticing her solemn expression. He controlled himself and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xue Lin was making a serious expression. Her frown became deeper in a second. "I’m thinking..."

"What is it?" Ge Chen blinked. He didn’t show his nervousness. ’Did I make the wrong move? She must have realized that I’m from the Ge Family and she is hating me now. Has my plan backfired?’

"Let’s get married." Xue Lin proposed to him in a poker face.
