Chapter 109 - 109 109 Where There is a Wife There is a Home

109: Chapter 109: Where There is a Wife, There is a Home 109: Chapter 109: Where There is a Wife, There is a Home “Come in.”

On the twenty-sixth floor of the Moongaze Building, Mu Shanshan had been planning to leave her office to see what was happening outside.

Hearing the knock, she, seated behind her expansive desk, spoke out coldly.

Observing the slightly gaunt, familiar figure entering her office, Mu Shanshan’s usually composed and beautiful eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace of surprised curiosity.

Whether it was an unfamiliar person, a troublemaker like Ge Hui, or some eminent officials from Zhonghai, Mu Shanshan wouldn’t have been surprised.

Having been in charge of Mu Group for several years, Mu Shanshan had long since developed a strong mental fortitude.

In addition, her nature was cool and detached, rarely allowing anyone to provoke her emotions.

This was especially so when she was in her CEO office.

However, the man now entering Mu Shanshan’s office was certainly an exception.

This man could easily stir her emotions, even sometimes a simple action could pique her curiosity.

Just like at this moment, Mu Shanshan was very curious why Lin Fei, who always barged into her office, had suddenly learned to knock.

“What are you doing here?”

Curiosity aside, Mu Shanshan had no intention of offering Lin Fei any pleasantries, her lovely eyes glacial, filled with a chilling air.

“Reporting to President Mu, I’ve come to accompany my wife for a jog,” Lin Fei declared crisply, snapping to attention with a salute.

His bearing was tall and commanding, his expression earnest and moving.

Of course, that’s not how Mu Shanshan would see it.

As soon as Lin Fei finished speaking, Mu Shanshan’s gorgeous face was suddenly enveloped in frost, and it felt like the temperature in the office dropped several degrees.

Lin Fei had a knack for bringing up the very thing that should not be mentioned.

If it weren’t for her strong mental fortitude and the consideration that getting angry in her office might draw her secretaries’ attention, which would impact her CEO image, the coffee Mu Shanshan hadn’t had time to sip might have already been flying toward Lin Fei’s head.

Mu Shanshan really wanted to ask whether Lin Fei had any idea what the word ‘death’ meant.

For the President of Mu Group to personally text him with a request to join her for a morning run was a privilege countless elite men in Zhonghai wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

Yet Lin Fei not only stood her up, but also had the gall to show up at her office and add to her troubles.

This was no way to treat someone, and had Lin Fei not already become her legal husband, Mu Shanshan might have had the intention of putting him to death.

“Assistant Lin, let me remind you, this is a company, not our home, and certainly not a market; please watch your language,” Mu Shanshan’s tone was so cold it could make one shiver, her limpid eyes transforming into a bottomless cold pond brimming with endless chilling air.

“Reporting to President Mu, I firmly believe that anywhere with my wife is my home,” Lin Fei said with fervent enthusiasm, his acting on par with an Emperor Level performer, seeming to convey genuine emotion.

With Mu Shanshan’s stunning beauty and wealth, it wasn’t a surprise that many men were after her.

She had heard plenty of sweet nothings, both in dramas and in reality.

Compared to other young women, and due to her icy demeanor and business environment, Mu Shanshan was undoubtedly more rational when it came to emotions.

In short, she wasn’t a woman to be moved by a couple of romantic lines.

However, at this moment, Lin Fei’s ordinary and seemingly insincere sweet talk managed to lightly ripple Mu Shanshan’s feelings and even caused a touch of sweetness to pass through her.

The eyes that had been cold due to Lin Fei’s earlier death-wish comment now flickered with a hint of shyness.

Mu Shanshan rarely displayed such a blush of modesty, and Lin Fei, never knowing the meaning of shame, instinctively widened his eyes, wishing he could lean towards her flawless beauty and plant a kiss.

“What happened outside just now?”

In the past, Mu Shanshan would not have hesitated to scold Lin Fei for staring at her intently from such a close range.

But this time, having just heard Lin Fei’s romantic words, although she felt the undisguised burning intensity in his gaze, she displayed an uncommon lack of irritation.

Instead, deep in her heart, there was an unexplainable sense of delight.

When Mu Shanshan used to be stared at by Lin Fei, all she felt was disgust and anger.

But as Lin Fei moved into the Purple Garden Pavilion and started working at Mu Group, their interactions increased.

Despite this, Lin Fei would still eye her lecherously every time they met, just like when they were newly married.

However, Mu Shanshan didn’t know when it began, but now, when Lin Fei leered at her, she no longer felt the initial discomfort and annoyance.

In short, she had somewhat grown accustomed to Lin Fei’s lecherous gaze.

Even, from Lin Fei’s lecherous eyes, Mu Shanshan managed to find a slight sense of pride.

They say ‘beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder,’ and no woman dislikes her husband admiring her beauty.

To be ogled lecherously by her own husband, in some ways, is the best testament to a woman’s charm.

“Lin Fei!

What on earth happened outside just now?!”

Seeing Lin Fei staring at her with a silly grin nonstop, Mu Shanshan felt a bit of embarrassment and annoyance.

After all, they were in her office, not at home, and with Lin Fei blatantly ignoring her question, President Mu of the great Mu Group certainly wasn’t going to continue treating Lin Fei kindly.

Mu Shanshan sat behind her large desk while Lin Fei stood in front of it.

From an elevated position, Lin Fei had the perfect view of the snowy expanse peeking out from beneath her white high-necked blouse.

Lin Fei had been savoring this rare glimpse of the goddess’ allure, but seeing Mu Shanshan’s pretty face turn cold again, with a hint of murderous intent re-emerging in her beautiful eyes, he begrudgingly tore his gaze away and instantly put on a pitiable look.

“Ah, wife, I actually wasn’t planning on reporting this matter to you.

But since you insist on an answer, I can only tell the truth.”

Lin Fei sighed, his face full of woe, “Just now, right outside your office door.

A few of your secretaries and assistants, upon seeing your dashing, suave, elegant, and handsome husband, standing alone, started to harbor ill intentions towards me.

They even surrounded me and harassed me.

Thankfully, with my strong will and exceptional skills, after a few fierce struggles, I managed to escape their clutches.

Otherwise, I would have likely faced the misfortune of being dishonored.”

“Wife, I don’t mean to criticize, but why hire such female wolves for the company?

If it weren’t for my quick-wittedness, my fate…”

“Shut up!”

The moment Lin Fei started talking, Mu Shanshan keenly sensed that Lin Fei was likely spouting more shameless nonsense.

After Lin Fei’s spiel, Mu Shanshan was dumbfounded.

Although she had anticipated that Lin Fei wouldn’t say anything serious, Mu Shanshan clearly had underestimated Lin Fei’s shamelessness.

Mu Shanshan’s secretaries and assistants were handpicked by her.

While they might not have been selected through careful consideration among thousands, they were certainly chosen through a rigorous and competitive process.

The quality, education, capabilities, appearance, and figures of Mu Shanshan’s secretaries and assistants were all impeccable.

They might not match up to Mu Shanshan, the business goddess of Zhonghai, but they were certainly highly sought-after.

Mu Shanshan was certain that her secretaries and assistants could not commit such an act as harassing Lin Fei.

Although Lin Fei was somewhat handsome, he wasn’t to the level of causing beauties to throw themselves at him.

Considering Lin Fei’s shameless character, Mu Shanshan was inclined to believe it was more likely that Lin Fei had taken liberties with her assistants first.

And, seeing Lin Fei going off on an even more ridiculous tangent, Mu Shanshan couldn’t stand to listen any longer and involuntarily interrupted his nonsense with a cold voice.

Any tiny bit of affection Mu Shanshan might have had for Lin Fei after hearing his sweet nothings wasn’t easy to come by, and now it vanished in an instant, as her stunning face became cold as ice.

“There are rules in the company, and I’ll call them in right now.

If they really did harass you, regardless of whether they are my secretaries or assistants, I certainly won’t let them off easily.”

After saying that, Mu Shanshan picked up the telephone, looking as if she was about to call someone in.

Lin Fei quickly stepped forward, grasping Mu Shanshan’s snowy, delicate wrist, “Wife, let it go.

After all, they are your people.

I can bear a little grievance.

In the future, I’ll just avoid them.

We absolutely can’t let my situation affect your relationship with them; it might even damage the company’s interests.

You should consider the company, not just me.”

Despite Mu Shanshan’s strong mental fortitude and cool disposition, after hearing Lin Fei’s words, she had the urge to slap him.

Even though Mu Shanshan hadn’t witnessed the incident firsthand, she was sure that the fault lied with Lin Fei.

Yet Lin Fei had the nerve to assume a righteous, good-natured, and shameless demeanor.

As Lin Fei’s wife, though they had not yet consummated their marriage, Mu Shanshan couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed for Lin Fei.

Fortunately, Mu Shanshan’s secretaries and assistants weren’t there.

If they had been present and heard Lin Fei’s words, they would have been ready to fight him even at the expense of their jobs.

Giving Lin Fei a disdainful look, Mu Shanshan snorted coldly, “It seems that you’ve turned shamelessness into an art form.

I really underestimated you before.”

Lin Fei flashed his teeth in a grin, “Thank you for the compliment, dear wife.

In fact, there are many forms of art that I’m skilled in.

For example, the art of the bedroom, which I can perform for you tonight, if you’re willing.

Of course, this might require your participation.”

Mu Shanshan was incensed, realizing that Lin Fei always managed to easily redefine her understanding of shamelessness.

If not for her hand being held down by Lin Fei, she really wanted to pick up the coffee on her desk and wash his face with it.

This man, he’s practically making a meal out of shamelessness!
