261: Chapter 261: The Secret Behind the Goddess’s Confession 261: Chapter 261: The Secret Behind the Goddess’s Confession Lin Fei didn’t know how he had left Mu Shanshan’s bedroom.

By the time he fully came to his senses, he was already in the living room.

“Aunt Lan, it’s almost ten o’clock.

Why hasn’t the lady come down yet?

Could she be ill?” Aunt Lan, unaware that Mu Shanshan had spent a night at the entrance of the villa, noticed it was past working hours and Mu Shanshan had shown no sign of coming downstairs.

No one had answered her knocks at the door, so she couldn’t help but quietly pull Lin Fei to ask.

“Aunt Lan, it’s alright.

She’s taking a bath and will come down soon.” Mu Shanshan was indeed taking a bath.

Although the Mu Group’s president had gone without sleep all night, she was not the type to laze in bed because she was preoccupied with the thought of investing in the Meishilin restaurant.

As if to confirm Lin Fei’s words, right after Lin Fei had spoken, the Mu Group’s president came downstairs.

She had finished her bath and changed out of her light gauze nightgown into a sky-blue business suit, which hugged her lithe, delicate figure.

Her perfect, elegant feet in crystal high-heeled sandals gracefully descended the stairs.

“Miss, finally you’re down.

The food must have cooled off; I’ll go and warm it up for you.” Aunt Lan was about to probe Lin Fei further but upon seeing Mu Shanshan descending the stairs, she greeted her with a smile and turned to head to the kitchen.

“Aunt Lan, no need to fuss, there’s an urgent matter at the company, and we’re about to leave.” Mu Shanshan always had a strong sense of time.

If it hadn’t been for waiting up last night for Lin Fei, and the fact that her dear husband had returned and carried her back to the bedroom to frolic repeatedly, she would surely be already in her office on the twenty-sixth floor of the Moongaze Building by now.

“Wife, we still need to eat after all.

Since we’re already late—” The Mu Group’s president was preoccupied with matters at the company, and Lin Fei, who had never been serious about work, clearly didn’t mind stopping to eat before leaving.

However, Mu Shanshan clearly had no intention of leaving Lin Fei to leave alone.

“What, are you very hungry?!”

“Aunt Lan, see you later.”

Under the cold gaze of Mu Shanshan’s eyes, Lin Fei wisely chose to give up the idea of having breakfast.

Of course, this wasn’t to say that Lin Fei was particularly henpecked; rather, it was because Mu Shanshan had made a sudden declaration in her bedroom, making it clear that she was ready to impose certain restrictions on her husband.

Before fully understanding how Mu Shanshan was going to act, Lin Fei was obviously not going to humiliate himself.

Having been married for more than half a year, born from an unconventional romance and marriage, and his unabashed nature, it could be said that Mu Shanshan, the president wife, seldom showed any affection to Lin Fei.

It was only after Lin Fei moved into the Purple Garden Pavilion that, as their contact increased, Mu Shanshan gradually started to discover some redeeming qualities in Lin Fei, and their marital relationship had improved somewhat.

However, this was merely a minor improvement.

Lin Fei knew in his heart that the days of making love with his president wife were still far off.

Although Lin Fei was aware of Mu Shanshan’s improving impression of him as their contact increased, he had never expected that Mu Shanshan would suddenly make a declaration to him.

“Before I fall in love with you, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave me.” This was clearly a confession.

Any woman who says this to a man, unless the man is a fool, would likely perceive the deep affection embedded in those words.

Lin Fei was no fool.

Having navigated the field of desire for many years, how could he not perceive the affection hidden in Mu Shanshan’s words?

However, having perceived it was one thing; this passive situation of waiting for love was indeed making him, Lin Da Guanren, quite frustrated.

Just like now, although he, Lin Da Guanren, was quite keen to have breakfast, he had to reluctantly comply with the wishes of his president wife, Mu Shanshan, and choose to suppress his own hunger for the time being.

Had it not been for Mu Shanshan’s confession, Lin Fei would likely not have been so accommodating towards her.

Alas, after Mu Shanshan had confessed her feelings to him, Lin Fei had to give his wife some face.

After all, the name written on the property deed was that of President Mu.

Seeing that Lin Fei didn’t talk back to her as usual but instead behaved like an obedient husband, following her out the door and into the car, and even going so far as to open the car door for her, President Mu truly enjoyed the treatment of a husband serving his wife, her delicate lips curved up subtly.

Mu Shanshan was aware of Lin Fei, her opportunistic husband, coveting her.

Given Aunt Lan’s advice that “marriage is a woman’s most important career in life,” Mu Shanshan had always been seeking ways to improve their martial relationship with Lin Fei.

After some time together, Mu Shanshan realized that Lin Fei, her opportunistic husband, did have some merits.

Perhaps one day when she had completely transformed Lin Fei or she decided to return to family life, pulling Lin Fei along to become a harmonious couple—that life was still somewhat desirable to Mu Shanshan.

However, Mu Shanshan clearly knew that it would be difficult for her to truly accept Lin Fei anytime soon.

Yet, she didn’t want to let Lin Fei go to another woman just because she didn’t love him temporarily.

Thus, President Mu chose to confess to Lin Fei.

“I don’t love you now, but I will try to make myself fall in love with you.

And during this time when I still don’t love you, you are not allowed to leave me.”

That was the true essence of Mu Shanshan’s confession to Lin Fei.

Rather than calling it a confession, it was more like she had openly tied Lin Fei firmly by her side.

Even Lin Fei had to admit that his president wife’s move was incredibly clever.

So clever that, for now, he could only defend himself without the ability to counterattack.

Before Mu Shanshan’s unconventional confession, Lin Fei might have used their abnormal marital relationship as an excuse for his unfaithful nights out.

With Mu Shanshan’s unconventional confession, it was clear that Lin Fei could no longer completely ignore his president wife while misbehaving outside.

From this perspective, Mu Shanshan’s unconventional confession even acted like an invisible shackle on Lin Fei.

Clearly, President Mu wanted to use this unique confession to tell Lin Fei that she wasn’t indifferent to Lin Fei’s misbehavior outside.

It’s just that, since she hadn’t completely fallen in love with Lin Fei yet, she didn’t want to really hold him accountable.

But the day she truly fell in love with Lin Fei, President Mu might genuinely start to get tough with Lin Fei.

In matters of emotion, President Mu admittedly lacked experience.

Yet, this did not prevent her, President Mu, from exercising her rights as a wife to restrain her opportunistic husband.

As the president of the Mu Group and the recognized business goddess of Zhonghai, Mu Shanshan possessed her unique female pride.

Now that she had become Lin Fei’s wife, regardless of the reason and the process, Mu Shanshan was confident that she could be both a qualified and excellent wife.

Thus, making him a qualified and excellent husband.

Because she was Mu Shanshan!
