The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 196 - 196 196 Taking a Shower in My Wife's Office

196: Chapter 196: Taking a Shower in My Wife’s Office 196: Chapter 196: Taking a Shower in My Wife’s Office Estee Lauder, this is a globally renowned women’s cosmetics brand, deeply loved by many women around the world.

Its high-end women’s perfumes are also favored by plenty of socialites and ladies of high society.

Until today, Lin Fei had not had any aversion to the perfumes produced by Estee Lauder.

However, as he looked at his CEO wife’s frigidly beautiful face covered in frost, Lin Fei knew that Estee Lauder perfume had gotten him into trouble.

Big trouble!

In Lin Fei’s memory, although Mu Shanshan had been infuriated to the point of shame and anger by him many times, slapping the table in front of him was a first.

Mu Shanshan, coming from a wealthy family with good upbringing and higher education, had honed extraordinary mental fortitude after taking the reins of Mu Group.

But today, she, the great CEO Mu, had actually slammed the table in her office where she was usually most rational.

Obviously, CEO Mu had lost her composure.

She was infuriated to the point of losing her composure by the scent of Estee Lauder perfume on Lin Fei!

Staying out all night and then coming to the office, all the while reeking of women’s perfume.

Even if Mu Shanshan was emotionally indifferent, she could not possibly fail to guess what her cheap husband had been up to the night before behind her back.

Yet Lin Fei still had that oblivious, careless demeanor, which even tested Mu Shanshan’s typically cool temper.

Foaming around behind her back, CEO Mu, was one thing; it wasn’t as if it hadn’t happened once or twice before, but after fooling around, the least one could do was erase the “evidence.”

Strutting in front of her, CEO Mu, reeking of another woman’s perfume was like blatantly disrespecting his wife Mu Shanshan.

Had it been any other normally functioning married couple, if the husband dared to come home reeking of perfume after a night out, kneeling on the keyboard would be the least of his worries in front of his wife.

By comparison, Mu Shanshan merely making Lin Fei stand as punishment seemed incredibly lenient.

But Lin Fei, cluelessly, kept heading straight for the firing squad; this wasn’t courting death—it was seeking it!

At this point, Lin Fei had come to his senses and wished he could slap himself twice.

Given the choice, Lin Fei would definitely not choose to court death.

It’s just hunger, isn’t it?

It’s not like he had never been hungry.

When he first went abroad to become a mercenary, he had often been starved.

Now, it was clear that this wasn’t a problem that could be solved by just being hungry.

At this juncture, making excuses was undoubtedly courting death, and Lin Fei obviously wouldn’t continue down that path.

However, that didn’t stop him from shamelessly considering his stomach for a moment.

“Wife, can’t I eat first before standing?”

Lin Fei, with his thick-skinned begging for food, nearly caused Mu Shanshan to pass out from anger.

Taking several deep breaths to calm herself, Mu Shanshan’s pretty eyes turned icy as she stared at Lin Fei, her teeth clenched tightly, and said deliberately, word by word, “I don’t want to say it a third time.

Before the scent of perfume on you is gone, don’t even think about eating!”

“Even death row inmates get a meal before execution.”

“Do you want to die?!”

“Do you want to murder your husband?!”

“I—”

Mu Shanshan was overcome by a spell of dizziness, nearly fainting.

Clearly, Lin Fei’s shamelessness had once again successfully challenged Mu Goddess’s psychological limits.

She was just a bit away from being broken.

Just as Mu Shanshan was considering whether she should find a knife and finish off Lin Fei to prevent herself from being angered to death by him, a knock on the door sounded.

“Come in.”

Mu Shanshan glared at Lin Fei resentfully before coldly instructing.

The person who entered was Shen Xuan, the sweetest-tempered among all Mu Shanshan’s secretaries and assistants.

Previously, after Lin Fei had made a mess on the phone call, apart from Shen Xuan, known for her good nature, no other secretary or assistant dared to deliver food.

“President Mu, here is your—”

“Did I say I wanted you to bring food?!

Take it away!” Mu Shanshan was fuming, naturally unwilling to give Lin Fei any opportunity to dine.

She immediately reprimanded Shen Xuan to leave.

“Yes, yes.”

Clearly frightened by Mu Shanshan’s cold scolding, Shen Xuan stuttered a response before turning to leave the CEO’s office.

“Stop!”

Shen Xuan hadn’t taken two steps before Lin Fei stopped her.

First chilled by Mu Shanshan’s scolding and now abruptly shouted at by Lin Fei, even with Shen Xuan’s good-natured demeanor, she couldn’t help but shiver, almost tripping and falling to the ground.

“Can’t you see President Mu is just speaking out of anger, give me the meal, and you can go.”

Without allowing Mu Shanshan to react, Lin Fei quickly approached Shen Xuan, took the meal plate from her hand, and then half-pushed and half-escorted Shen Xuan out of Mu Shanshan’s CEO office.

“Dare to take a bite and see?!”

Seeing Lin Fei blatantly ignoring her anger and snatching food from her own secretary right in front of her, Mu Shanshan, who was already displaying signs of losing her cool, threatened coldly on the spot.

Mu Shanshan had even decided that if Lin Fei truly dared to ignore her completely, she would, despite the risk of being scolded by Mu Hong, steadfastly kick Lin Fei out of the Purple Garden Pavilion.

This wasn’t about being angry or losing composure; it was a fundamental principle.

It wasn’t that Mu Shanshan couldn’t tolerate Lin Fei’s mistakes at all.

Otherwise, with Lin Fei frequently going out to fool around, she would have long been unable to resist “murdering her husband.”

But what CEO Mu absolutely could not tolerate was Lin Fei making a mistake and completely disregarding her without a shred of remorse!

Any woman would likely find it intolerable to have her own husband disregard her, let alone Mu Shanshan, the ice mountain CEO.

“Wife, if I don’t have any perfume scent on me, can I eat then?”

Lin Fei had also noticed that his CEO wife was on the verge of eruption.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Fei naturally wouldn’t continue to provoke CEO Mu.

Under the chilly gaze of Mu Shanshan, he casually set the meal plate on Mu Shanshan’s office desk.

Seeing Lin Fei refrain from further provoking her, Mu Shanshan’s icy demeanor softened slightly.

However, she still couldn’t be bothered to address Lin Fei, huffing and turning her head away.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take your silence as consent.”

Lin Fei, noticing Mu Shanshan’s softened expression, declared unabashedly and then hastily retreated into the inner lounge of Mu Shanshan’s office.

“Lin Fei, what are you doing, who allowed you in there, get out here!”

Mu Shanshan, coming back to her senses, quickly rushed to the lounge door, intending to pull Lin Fei out.

However, Lin Fei had locked the door from the inside, leaving Mu Shanshan momentarily unable to enter.

Just as Mu Shanshan was contemplating whether to unlock the door with a key, Lin Fei, wearing only his underwear, suddenly opened the door to the inner lounge, “I’m going to take a shower.

If you dare disrupt the enjoyment of my shower, I wouldn’t mind dragging you in to scrub my back.”

After speaking, Lin Fei didn’t give Mu Shanshan a chance to retort.

He immediately closed the door to the inner lounge.

Before long, the sound of running water echoed from the inner lounge.

Clearly, Lin Fei was hoping to remove the scent of perfume by taking a shower.
