Chapter 137 - 137 137 Honey Let's Go on a Date

137: Chapter 137: Honey, Let’s Go on a Date 137: Chapter 137: Honey, Let’s Go on a Date Saturday was a day off work.

In the past, Lin Fei didn’t feel much difference between Saturdays and Sundays compared to Monday through Friday.

However, since he started working at Mu Group, Lin Fei had finally discovered the difference.

Of course, Lin Fei, who had never known what work was at the company, obviously didn’t think of Saturdays and Sundays as a great opportunity to relax like other office workers did.

Compared to weekends, Lin Fei clearly preferred weekdays because, from Monday to Friday, there were many beautiful women at the company with whom Lin Fei could relax.

Obviously, there wouldn’t be such beauties available for Lin Fei to admire during the weekends.

However, this Saturday, Lin Fei didn’t plan on strolling out, as he had important business—to conquer Mu Shanshan.

Of course, Lin Fei didn’t want to take Mu Shanshan to bed; the goddess Mu obviously wouldn’t give Lin Fei such an opportunity.

What Lin Fei intended to do was to persuade Mu Shanshan to agree to rehire Liu Hui and the other security guards who had been fired under the coercion of Ge Hui.

This task seemed simple, needing only a nod from Mu Shanshan, yet it was very difficult, because Mu Shanshan was a person with strong principles.

Originally, it was Mu Shanshan who had personally ordered the firing of Liu Hui and others, and now she was being asked to agree to rehire them, which to a certain extent was like asking Mu Shanshan to slap her own face.

It was Lin Fei who thought this way, and if it were anyone else at Mu Group, even Ling Weiwei, who was Mu Shanshan’s trusted confidante, they wouldn’t even consider this possible.

Lin Fei was aware that getting Mu Shanshan to nod was nearly impossible.

However, since he had carelessly agreed to Liu Hui the night before, Lin Fei had no choice but to brace himself and proceed.

“Shanshan darling, do you have anything special planned today?” At the dining table, looking at his ethereal and stunningly beautiful CEO wife, Lin Fei launched his effort.

Having spent some time together, Mu Shanshan had come to understand Lin Fei’s temperament somewhat.

In her memory, it was the first time Lin Fei had asked her so politely, causing Mu Shanshan’s brows to furrow slightly.

“Is there something you need?”

“First tell me, do you have any plans today that are necessary and time-consuming?”

Seeing that Lin Fei wasn’t joking, Mu Shanshan thought for a moment, her expression intent, “I have some work to handle.”

“Other than work?” For as long as Lin Fei could recall, the thing Mu Shanshan seemed to do the most, apart from eating and sleeping, was work.

“Eating.” After pondering intently for a while, Mu Shanshan gave an answer that almost drove Lin Fei to despair.

“So, that means you don’t have anything particularly special to do today, right?”

“Mm.” Mu Shanshan’s brief concession let Lin Fei down slightly, a faint hint of triumph shining in her beautiful eyes as she slightly upturned her delicate lips, giving Lin Fei a confirmed answer.

Of course, the main reason was that Mu Shanshan was not a person who liked to lie; in fact, she wasn’t very good at it.

Lin Fei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, gazing steadily at Mu Shanshan’s lovely, clear eyes, “That’s great then.

Since you’re free, let’s go on a date today.”

Pfft!

Mu Shanshan was originally holding a knife and fork in both hands, cutting the fried egg, when Lin Fei finished speaking, the knife in Mu Shanshan’s right hand directly slid off the plate.

“Are you insane?” After Mu Shanshan recovered, she stared at Lin Fei for a full five minutes, which made Lin Fei’s heart quiver and his hair stand on end.

Then, she gave such a response that nearly made Lin Fei spit blood.

Lin Fei had imagined many possible replies from Mu Shanshan after he suggested they go on a date.

In his scenarios, the most likely response from Mu Shanshan was a cold glance at Lin Fei, followed by a terse and cold rejection.

Lin Fei even thought that Mu Shanshan might pick up the milk cup beside her and give him a milk bath.

Lin Fei had prepared various measures to deal with Mu Shanshan’s reactions, but he had never thought that she would treat him like a lunatic.

“Son-in-law, miss, are you going on a date?

That’s wonderful, I was just wondering how to bring it up,” Aunt Lan clearly overheard Lin Fei’s earlier words.

Seeing the cold atmosphere developing between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, Aunt Lan hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, “I made an appointment for a medical check-up at the hospital days ago.

Yesterday evening, the hospital called, asking me to come in today.”

“I was actually wondering whether I could make it back in time to cook for the miss.

Since you, son-in-law, are going out with the miss on a date, I can go for the check-up with peace of mind.” After saying this, Aunt Lan didn’t forget to give Lin Fei a meaningful look.

Lin Fei could clearly see Aunt Lan’s good intentions.

He immediately rose to his feet, walked over to Mu Shanshan, and magically produced a rose, “Wife, we have been married for quite some time.

I, as your husband, have never taken you out on a date alone, and that is my negligence.

Today, I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you, to offer you a belated date.”

The rose in Lin Fei’s hand had been casually picked from a villa’s garden while he was accompanying Mu Shanshan on a morning run—of course, Lin Fei would never tell Mu Shanshan that.

If he mentioned it, let alone going on a date, whether Lin Fei could get through this Saturday smoothly would be questionable.

“Miss, the son-in-law is rarely romantic; give him a chance,” Aunt Lan, clearly pleased with Lin Fei’s attitude, unabashedly spoke well of him.

Under the combined efforts of Lin Fei and Aunt Lan, Mu Shanshan still displayed her usual ethereal and aloof demeanor.

The lady elegantly finished her breakfast, stood up to take the rose from Lin Fei’s hand, and walked slowly upstairs.

After taking a few steps, she gave Lin Fei an ambiguous answer, “I’ll consider it.”

“Aunt Lan, she won’t stand me up, will she?” Once Mu Shanshan’s figure had disappeared at the second-floor stairway, Lin Fei asked Aunt Lan uncertainly.

Aunt Lan was also somewhat uncertain and said, “I don’t think so.”

Mu Shanshan was too aloof, a sentiment deeply felt by both Lin Fei and Aunt Lan, who lived under the same roof.

Therefore, both hesitated to confirm whether Mu Shanshan would truly accept Lin Fei’s invitation to go on the date.

Aunt Lan was somewhat easier to deal with.

Although she knew that the marital relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei wasn’t normal and that Mu Shanshan was not very fond of Lin Fei, Aunt Lan was clearly unaware that Lin Fei had several times infuriated Mu Shanshan to the point of death, even to the extent of almost dragging Lin Fei to the underworld together.

As the involved party, Lin Fei was clearly aware of what he had done to Mu Shanshan, which was why he was trying so hard to be romantic and invite Mu Shanshan on a date.

Although Mu Shanshan did not accept Lin Fei’s date invitation immediately, at least she did not outright reject it.

Taking his CEO wife out on a date still held some hope.
