The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 164 - 164 164 Xiao Yina in the Line of Fire

164: Chapter 164: Xiao Yina in the Line of Fire 164: Chapter 164: Xiao Yina in the Line of Fire “Cough cough, if Vice Minister Lin has nothing special to do, I think my daughter and I might need some alone time.”

Shen Fanghua, her own niece, could wait a minute or two, but she still showed no sign of leaving, and Shen Fanghua finally couldn’t help but speak up.

“Ah—”

Alerted by her aunt, Shen Peini, who was just emerging from her infatuated state, gasped and hurriedly pulled away from Lin Fei.

“Auntie, I—”

Shen Peini like this, in Shen Fanghua’s eyes, was filled with complex emotions that could only be transformed into a sigh, feeling repeatedly that a grown daughter doesn’t stay by her side.

Shen Fanghua had no children of her own and treated Shen Peini as if she were her own, having meticulously groomed her from a young age.

It could be said that much of Shen Peini’s accomplishments and charm must be credited to Shen Fanghua.

Until today, Shen Fanghua had often boasted about Shen Peini, whom she had personally groomed.

Now, regarding her beloved niece, Shen Fanghua could only helplessly laugh it off.

Even in front of her aunt, she had actively thrown herself at a man.

In private, what else could Shen Fanghua expect from Shen Peini?

“Well, I just remembered that I have some pending work, so I’ll take my leave first.”

With the embrace that occurred today, and both being in the same company,

For Lin Fei, winning over Shen Peini was only a matter of time.

But obviously, in front of Shen Fanghua, Lin Fei couldn’t bring himself to go through with it.

It wasn’t about the thickness of one’s skin; even if Shen Peini had no objections, Shen Fanghua clearly wouldn’t let Lin Fei succeed.

“Then, I won’t see you out.”

Shen Fanghua’s intention to see him off was very clear.

This was also because Lin Fei had left a rather good impression on Shen Fanghua in a previous high-level meeting where he had intimidated a group of directors and shareholders.

And after entering Shen Peini’s office, Lin Fei was rather sweet-talking.

If it were another man, Shen Fanghua might have already started to chase him off.

Being able to tolerate Lin Fei and Shen Peini, in front of her as an elder, for over ten minutes, Shen Fanghua, as an elder, was already very generous and open-minded.

Sensing the intention to send him away in Shen Fanghua’s words, Lin Fei turned around and left crisply.

The moment he left Shen Peini’s office, Lin Fei couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief internally.

Although Shen Fanghua’s appearance was not anticipated by Lin Fei, given his thick skin, staying close with Shen Peini for more than ten minutes in front of Shen Fanghua didn’t cause him any psychological pressure.

What truly made Lin Fei sigh in relief was his perfect handling of the affection shown by Shen Peini.

“You owe me not much, just the rest of your life.” Lin Fei’s original intention in saying this, though affectionate, wasn’t meant to be a confession of love in front of her elder as Shen Peini might have thought.

This type of romantic sentiment, Lin Fei obviously lacked.

Lin Fei said this entirely because Shen Peini, this beauty, often stirred his desires without offering relief.

These things, Lin Fei remembered vividly, and arguably, were all debts Shen Peini owed to him.

In Lin Fei’s view, it was very justified and reasonable.

However, Shen Peini clearly misunderstood Lin Fei’s intention.

This was also the main reason why Lin Fei turned around and left after sensing Shen Fanghua’s intention to send him away.

If he had continued to stay in Shen Peini’s office, Lin Fei genuinely couldn’t guarantee he could remain calm.

As for what might happen to that woman, Shen Peini, after he left—how her director aunt might scold or question her—that clearly was beyond Lin Fei’s concern.

…

“My dear Vice Minister Lin, you still know to come back?

I thought you might have forgotten that you are still the Vice Minister of the Security Department.” Having finally returned to his own office, as soon as he entered, he faced Xiao Yina, his secretary’s complaints.

Being late for work and leaving all the tasks for a secretary like her, Xiao Yina had endured it.

After all, Lin Fei was the boss, and she was the secretary.

After Lin Fei swaggered in the meeting room and then completely disappeared, leaving all the mess for her to handle, Secretary Xiao still endured.

Being a secretary was naturally a fate of suffering, which Xiao Yina clearly understood.

However, this irresponsible boss, Lin Fei, entered the office and dismissed Secretary Xiao’s complaints as if they were mere wind beside his ears, not even sparing her a glance.

This feeling of being completely ignored was unbearable, even for a secretary!

Stomp, stomp, stomp!

An infuriated Xiao Yina, wearing her shiny black high heels, directly intercepted Lin Fei, who was heading towards the lounge, “Lin Fei!

Are you even listening to me?

I’ve had enough, I want—”
