Chapter 119 - 119 119 Beautiful Shoes Even More Beautiful People

119: Chapter 119: Beautiful Shoes, Even More Beautiful People 119: Chapter 119: Beautiful Shoes, Even More Beautiful People That was the main reason why Lin Fei, upon leaving, took a jab at Shen Peini.

However, Lin Fei soon felt that he had been too lenient towards Shen Peini.

It was just like how Lin Fei entered Mu Shanshan’s office, simply pushing the door open.

Before this, Lin Fei had always thought that in the entire Mu Group, he was the only one who entered others’ offices without knocking.

Her hair elegantly upturned, with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, and her beautiful neck long and graceful, Ling Weiwei taught him a lively lesson.

In some aspects, Ling Weiwei was actually somewhat similar to Shen Peini, for example, once she entered Lin Fei’s office, her beautiful eyes only briefly scanned around before, just like Shen Peini, her gaze firmly fixed on Lin Fei.

Only, compared to the honeyed softness in Shen Peini’s eyes, Minister Ling’s expression looked more like she was there to pick a fight.

“Weiwei, if I’m not mistaken, those blue high heels with diamonds you’re wearing, they’re from the Western Continent, right?

Only your aura truly matches those shoes.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but because of those high heels you’re wearing, your entire demeanor has undergone some subtle shifts.

To be precise, it’s become a lot more elegant.”

Having sensed Ling Weiwei’s aggressive intent, how could Lin Fei just sit there waiting to be attacked?

That wouldn’t be his style at all.

So, before Ling Weiwei could start any trouble, Lin Fei took the initiative to compliment the shoes she was wearing.

Women, regardless of age or attractiveness, never mind being complimented by men on their clothes and accessories.

In this respect, Lin Fei was always successful.

Indeed, when she heard Lin Fei’s compliment, although Ling Weiwei didn’t stop moving, the fierceness in her charming eyes evidently diminished somewhat.

“Smooth talker, why don’t you tell me the origin of these shoes?

If you get it right, I might consider sparing you.”

Ling Weiwei had not forgotten her original purpose in coming to Lin Fei’s office because of his unexpected compliment.

Clearly, she had seen the audio file Shen Peini had sent her.

Looking at Ling Weiwei standing high and mighty with an accusing demeanor, Lin Fei felt somewhat annoyed inside.

It’s just an audio file; it’s not like I said anything too outrageous.

You’re not even my wife, not even a friend with benefits, so what gives you the right to ‘spare me’?

Lin Fei was very annoyed, but he also realized that reasoning with a woman clearly jealous was less straightforward than smashing his head against tofu.

Beautiful women naturally possess the privilege to be unreasonable, and in the dictionary of a beautiful, jealous woman, the word “reasoning” does not exist.

This, Lin Fei had learned a long time ago.

Yes, specifically, he had been at a disadvantage in this regard while abroad.

For the same type of situation, Lin Fei obviously wouldn’t allow himself to be disadvantaged multiple times.

Right then, Lin Fei coughed twice, uncrossed his legs, rose from his office chair, and lowering his gaze to Ling Weiwei’s blue diamond-embedded high heels, spoke with formality: “Manolo Blahnik high heels, the perfect fashion accessory that understands style the best.

Like those handmade ones you’re wearing, they perfectly enhance your dress and aura.

I think, I’m not the first one to compliment them.”

Lin Fei’s words were not entirely nonsense.

Initially, Lin Fei indeed intended to use the compliment to dissipate her hostility toward him.

However, once Lin Fei started truly paying attention to Ling Weiwei, he genuinely felt a certain elegant quality from her.

This was not solely because of the Peninsula-made Manolo Blahnik high heels she wore; it was more about Ling Weiwei’s own charm.

Undoubtedly, the heels Ling Weiwei was wearing were top brand.

But, even the finest brands need the wearer to possess enough charm to truly reflect the brand’s distinguished aura.

And Ling Weiwei was certainly the type of woman who could bring out the true essence of top brands.

“Beautiful shoes, even more beautiful wearer.”

Lin Fei genuinely complimented her, and only that phrase could express his feelings at the moment.

Such women were clearly rare, even extremely scarce.

And Ling Weiwei, undeniably, was one of those exceedingly rare true beauties.

Aware of her own beauty, because from a young age she had heard plenty of praise.

She was somewhat tired of hearing similar flattering remarks.

However, today, Lin Fei’s flattery genuinely made Ling Weiwei’s cheeks flush and her heart race.

Clearly, Lin Fei’s praise was gratifying to Minister Ling.

Not only because Lin Fei clearly and accurately mentioned the origin of Ling Weiwei’s shoes but more so because, in Ling Weiwei’s heart, Lin Fei had a special status far beyond other men.

Of course, Ling Weiwei had not expected Lin Fei to genuinely recognize the origin of the shoes she wore.

She had bought those Manolo Blahnik high heels during a business trip to the Western Country with Mu Shanshan, spending three months’ salary on them.

If it weren’t necessary to accompany Xiao Yina to meet a significant client, she might not have even worn them.

Not everyone possessed Lin Fei’s unique discernment to recognize this Western Continent luxury brand.

In the past, only a few high-society women at certain galas could recognize the Manolo Blahniks she wore.

However, what truly made Ling Weiwei’s heart race and her cheeks flush uncontrollably was Lin Fei’s remark, “Beautiful shoes, even more beautiful wearer.”

While women indeed care about dressing up, they clearly value even more the compliments from men around them, especially from men they secretly admire.

Ling Weiwei sharply caught on to Lin Fei’s ulterior motive; she quickly pulled out a lighter and handed it to him, saying, “This is a gift I received from a client during a business trip; I’m giving it to you now as a celebration of your promotion to Deputy Director of the Security Department and also as a reward for your time working in the General Affairs Department.”

After speaking, Ling Weiwei stuffed the beautifully crafted silver lighter into Lin Fei’s hands.

Then, while Lin Fei was momentarily stunned, she ran out of his office as if she was not wearing Manolo Blahnik high heels but some brand of running shoes.
