274: Chapter 274: The Goddess Who Locked Herself in the Bedroom 274: Chapter 274: The Goddess Who Locked Herself in the Bedroom The next morning, Lin Fei had just returned to the rental house he lived in in Zhonghai.

“Big Brother Lin, you go rest, I’ll take care of it.” As she got up, Meng Xue’er, seeing Lin Fei busy in the kitchen alone, simply thought of taking over the breakfast preparation.

“No need, I’m almost done.

Xue’er, you go wash up first.

By the time you come back, we can have breakfast.” It was rare for him to be back, and Lin Fei was happy to make breakfast for Meng Xue’er, a girl as pure and transparent to the core.

Meng Xue’er, who never knew how to say no to people, naturally couldn’t outstubborn Lin Fei.

After his polite refusal, she obediently went to wash up.

“Ning sister, Ning sister, get up for breakfast.” After washing up, Meng Xue’er didn’t forget the third person in the apartment and walked towards the bedroom originally belonging to Lin Fei, knocking on the door to gently wake Ning Qi.

“Xue’er, don’t bother with her.

Come eat breakfast.” Seeing Meng Xue’er actually went to knock on Ning Qi’s door, Lin Fei immediately called her back to the dining table.

“Lin, Big Brother Lin, you, you’re not doing this right.” Meng Xue’er tiptoed back to the dining table, her bright eyes blinking as she sneakily glanced at Lin Fei a few times before finally gathering enough courage to speak up.

“Ah?!” Lin Fei was surprised, feeling an inexplicable jolt in his heart.

Having known Meng Xue’er for such a long time, she had never spoken against him before.

Now, all of a sudden, he was caught off guard by her comment.

Lin Fei, with a guilty conscience, truly didn’t know how to respond.

“Lin, Big Brother Lin, I, I know Ning sister has upset you.

But, but you can’t just not let Ning sister have breakfast.

Ning sister has, has a flight to catch this afternoon.” Just as Lin Fei was somewhat at a loss for words, Meng Xue’er took the initiative to speak, the unintended implication of her words indeed gave him a wry smile.

“Xue’er, where are your thoughts going, do you really think your Big Brother Lin is such a petty person?

I’m not stopping her from eating.

It’s just that—she’s not feeling well, and she can’t get up right now.

If she’s really hungry, she will get up and find something to eat herself.

So, don’t worry about her, let’s just eat our breakfast.”

After understanding what Meng Xue’er meant, Lin Fei, finding the situation somewhat amusing, could only patiently reassure her and gestured for her to hurry up and eat.

Although last night Ning Qi had kicked him out of bed, Big Officer Lin was obviously not so petty as to stop Ning Qi from having breakfast.

As he mentioned, Ning Qi was feeling unwell, and it would perhaps be quite difficult for her to get out of bed shortly.

In short, Ning Qi was still probably asleep and waking up wasn’t on the agenda, much less eating breakfast.

As for why Ning Qi, who was so lively just the night before would suddenly feel unwell, that was entirely thanks to Big Officer Lin’s doing.

Of course, if one were to talk about it, it couldn’t all be blamed on Big Officer Lin.

After all, he hadn’t expected that the seemingly open-minded Ning Qi would still be a virgin.

Last night, because he was seriously angered by Nir Qi, Big Officer Lin didn’t consider this aspect at all.

Given his odd constitution, if Ning Qi could actually get up, that would indeed be surprising.

Of course, these were not matters to be discussed with Meng Xue’er.

After quickly finishing breakfast in the rental house, Lin Fei, to avoid awkwardness when Ning Qi woke up, casually gave Meng Xue’er a few instructions and then left straight away.

…

Purple Garden Pavilion, Lin Fei, who had left the rented room, was driving Mu Shanshan’s BMW at breakneck speed, rushing back here.

It wasn’t that Lin Fei, the high-ranking official, suddenly had a pang of conscience, realizing he had wronged his CEO wife Mu Shanshan, and came back to apologize.

In fact, just over twenty minutes ago, Lin Fei was still planning to invite Shen Peini, that stunning woman, out for a delightful date on Saturday to further solidify the newly established relationship between them.

However, before Lin Fei could make that call, he received a call from Aunt Lan.

Having no choice, Lin Fei had to give up his wonderful plan of dating Shen Peini and hurried back to the Purple Garden Pavilion.

“Son-in-law, you’re finally back.

Hurry and go see.

Since Miss Ling brought the young lady back last night, she hasn’t eaten dinner, and has locked herself in her bedroom.

No matter how I call her, she won’t open the door.

It’s almost noon now; if she starves herself sick, what will we do?”

Lin Fei had just gotten out of the car when Aunt Lan, waiting at the villa’s entrance, immediately approached him.

“She hasn’t come out since last night?!” On the phone, Aunt Lan only mentioned that there was a matter that required him to rush home and didn’t tell Lin Fei what it specifically was.

Now, hearing Aunt Lan say that his CEO wife was throwing a tantrum and had locked herself up, Lin Fei felt a sudden, unjustified jolt in his heart.

“Exactly, from last night until now, no matter how I call her, she won’t open the door.

I really don’t know what’s gotten into the young lady.” Aunt Lan looked quite distressed, then suddenly slapped her palm and said firmly, “Oh, right, I remember now.

Last night when Miss Ling brought the young lady home, she mentioned that the restaurant the young lady wanted to acquire was snatched by someone named Fang.

The young lady is very career-oriented; could it be that she’s locked herself up over this?”

If that were really the case, then it would be good.

Faced with Aunt Lan’s speculation, Lin Fei could only give a wry smile.

Mu Shanshan was indeed very career-oriented; not only Aunt Lan knew this, Lin Fei knew too.

From Aunt Lan’s few words, Lin Fei could also guess that Mu Shanshan’s involvement in investing in the Meishilin restaurant was probably thwarted by Fang Wenxi.

If Mu Shanshan was truly just distressed over this matter, then Lin Fei, a high-ranking official, obviously wouldn’t have dared to come home late at night and chose to stay in a rented room instead.

And Mu Shanshan, known as the business goddess of Zhonghai, obviously wouldn’t confine herself to her bedroom, refraining from eating and drinking over a minor business setback.

Mu Shanshan’s behavior was clearly because Lin Fei, her bargain husband, had scolded her outright for not being a qualified wife while trying to help Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, those two girls, to enter Mu Group, thus hurting her, the CEO’s, pride.

Although Lin Fei thought that Mu Shanshan might feel resentful toward his threatening and coercive call,

Lin Fei clearly didn’t expect Mu Shanshan’s reaction to be so intense.

As the saying goes, “the bell ringer must unring the bell”.

At this point, even though he knew his CEO wife Mu Shanshan might not show him a good face, Lin Fei, the high-ranking official, had no choice but to brace himself and head upstairs…
