The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 139 - 139 139 Candlelight Dinner

139: Chapter 139: Candlelight Dinner 139: Chapter 139: Candlelight Dinner “It’s okay now, we’ve already come out,” Lin Fei, who was holding Mu Shanshan as they left the movie theater, saw that his CEO wife was still burying her head in his chest, showing no intention of looking up.

Lin Fei couldn’t help but remind Mu Shanshan.

Although Lin Fei really enjoyed the wonderful feeling of holding such soft and delicate beauty in his arms.

If he hadn’t been concerned about Liu Hui, Lin Fei would have really liked to continue holding her this way.

Mu Shanshan’s delicate and fragile body was so tender that even just holding her like this, Lin Fei was struggling to contain himself.

This was on the street; if it had been at home, Lin Fei might have already reached out his devilish hand towards Mu Shanshan.

It wasn’t fair to blame Lin Fei for his lack of resolve when Mu Shanshan’s allure to men was so astonishing.

It was because Lin Fei saw Mu Shanshan every day that he had developed some immunity to her charm.

If it had been any other man, they had likely already turned into beasts.

Of course, Lin Fei would never allow any man other than himself to hold Mu Shanshan in their arms.

Fortunately, Mu Shanshan didn’t know what Lin Fei was thinking at the moment.

If she knew that Lin Fei had deliberately chosen this kind of thriller for her to watch, Lin Fei’s fate would definitely have been very miserable.

Thinking of Mu Shanshan, the great CEO, dropping her reserve and work, excitedly coming out on a date, yet you, Lin Fei, had set her up.

If Mu Shanshan could let Lin Fei off easily, that would be strange.

“Lin—Lin Fei, where are we going next?” After numerous calls from Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan finally cautiously raised her head from his embrace and, after a long time, finally calmed down.

After regaining her composure, the first thing Mu Shanshan did was ask Lin Fei what his plans were next.

Before leaving the house, Mu Shanshan was indeed eager about the date.

Every woman has her own romantic fantasies of love, and evidently, Mu Shanshan was no exception.

However, clearly, Mu Shanshan’s romantic fantasies did not include watching a thriller at the cinema.

This being their first date, Mu Shanshan was obviously beginning to worry about whether there would be more challenging activities that would test her psychological endurance.

“Next, we’re going to have dinner.” Lin Fei smiled, took Mu Shanshan’s soft hand, pressed his head against Mu Shanshan’s forehead like polished jade, and gently said, “Since we’ve been married, I’ve owed you a candlelight dinner.

Today is the time to make it up.”

Mu Shanshan was stunned.

Normally, Mu Shanshan would mostly not allow Lin Fei to be so close to her.

Even if Lin Fei launched a surprise, and succeeded momentarily, Mu Shanshan, after regaining her senses, would push Lin Fei away immediately.

However, this time Mu Shanshan did not show any displeasure or embarrassment towards Lin Fei’s closeness; she only felt shy and a sweet feeling emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Fei had spoken words of affection to Mu Shanshan before.

However, this was the first time Lin Fei seriously said such words of affection to Mu Shanshan.

At least, that’s what Mu Shanshan believed.

Mu Shanshan, inexperienced in romantic matters, felt Lin Fei’s suddenly softened tone and the candlelight dinner that appeared in any woman’s romantic fantasies.

The lingering fear in her heart from watching the thriller was swept away in an instant.

“Mm.”

Mu Shanshan nodded slightly in agreement, giving Lin Fei a positive response.

Even as Lin Fei held her snow-white soft hand and they moved forward, Mu Shanshan did not struggle too much.

In short, Mu Shanshan, the grand CEO, was unusually compliant with Lin Fei for once.

…

Outside a high-end Lan restaurant, Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan stood still.

Precisely speaking, they were not admiring the decor outside the restaurant but were being blocked from entering by the restaurant’s waiter.

The reason was that high-end restaurants like this one generally required reservations to be made three days or even a week in advance to secure a spot.

Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan had come without any reservation, so being turned away at the door was not surprising.

“Lin Fei, I’ll call Shen Xuan to book us a restaurant,” Mu Shanshan said, about to take her phone out of her bag to call her secretary, Shen Xuan.

After all, Mu Shanshan was the president of the Mu Group, which held a certain reputation in Zhonghai.

For someone of Mu Shanshan’s status, finding a restaurant to enjoy a candlelit dinner with Lin Fei was clearly not a big issue.

“No need, this is something your husband can handle, my dear.

You just need to be ready to eat.” It was a joke, as the idea of the date had been proposed by Lin Fei himself.

If he needed Mu Shanshan to find a venue for a candlelit dinner, wouldn’t that make him seem utterly incompetent?

Besides, they were already standing at the entrance of the restaurant, and there was no reason to leave.

Lin Fei patted Mu Shanshan’s delicate hand, reassuring her with a comforting look, and walked directly towards the waiter at the restaurant’s entrance.

After a conversation, Lin Fei turned around, pulled Mu Shanshan, and walked into the restaurant, welcomed by the envious and congratulatory glances of the restaurant staff.

Inside the restaurant, under the guidance of the waiter, Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan took their seats by a window.

Mu Shanshan slightly furrowed her brows, her eyes expressing surprise as she examined Lin Fei seated opposite her.

“What did you say to that waiter?

How did he agree to let us in?”

Mu Shanshan had studied abroad, so she also had some understanding of the people from Lan.

Although the people from Lan were not as strict and rigid as those from the Country of Nuo, they still adhered strongly to principles.

Mu Shanshan couldn’t understand what Lin Fei could have possibly said to the waiter from Lan that would make him go against the restaurant’s policies and allow them, who did not have a reservation, to enter.

“I didn’t say much, I just told him that I have loved you for a long time, and I wanted to propose to you today, hoping he would do us a favor,” Lin Fei answered Mu Shanshan honestly.

Mu Shanshan raised her eyebrows slightly, “Is that all?”

“That’s all,” Lin Fei confirmed.

Lin Fei’s expression was sincere, and Mu Shanshan couldn’t find any signs of lying on his face.

Consequently, Mu Shanshan decided not to pursue the matter further.

What Lin Fei said wasn’t important, what mattered was that she, Mu Shanshan, was already inside the restaurant and was about to experience her first date-like candlelit dinner.

In fact, Lin Fei had not lied.

What he told Mu Shanshan was exactly what he had said to the waiter.

However, there was one thing he did not tell Mu Shanshan—he had spoken to the restaurant waiter in the Lan language, not in Chinese or a foreign language!

Lin Fei had spent some time in Lan and was quite familiar with the people of Lan.

The people of Lan strongly valued principles, but compared to principle, romance seemed to be an innate trait etched into their bones.

Lin Fei had gained the waiter’s favor with his fluency in Lan and won emotional resonance through romance.

After all, what could be more romantic in this world than a marriage proposal?
