276: Chapter 276: Accompanying the Goddess Mu to the Banquet 276: Chapter 276: Accompanying the Goddess Mu to the Banquet “Get out.”

Upstairs in the Purple Garden Pavilion villa, within Mu Shanshan’s bedroom, Lin Fei was gloriously kicked out by Mu Shanshan for the second time.

“Wife, you can’t do this to me.”

Originally, Lin Fei had considered whether to take advantage of Mu Shanshan’s brief moment of being touched by him and to step up his efforts to completely resolve the conflict between husband and wife.

However, his face turned quite unhappy.

Indeed, Lin Fei believed his apology had been very appropriate.

And Mu Shanshan did seem a bit moved just moments before, but in the blink of an eye, this woman was asking him to leave again.

That instant shift from heaven to hell was something that probably no man would enjoy.

This was Mu Shanshan, after all.

If it had been any other woman who dared to treat him like this, Lin Fei would definitely make them understand that switching faces faster than flipping a book comes with a price.

In fact, if it weren’t for helping Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen secure jobs at Mu Group, which in turn irritated Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei might have already enforced “family discipline” on Mu Shanshan by now.

Although Mu Shanshan was his legitimate wife, the two of them hadn’t yet consummated their marriage.

They hadn’t even slept together, and yet she dared to treat him like this.

If they were to sleep together one day, wouldn’t she become even more intense?

With this thought, Lin Fei was ready to play hardball and force Mu Shanshan to submit.

But just as Lin Fei was about to get physical, Mu Shanshan spoke again.

“Get out, I need to change my clothes.”

Her voice was still cold and aloof, but it lacked the nearly uncontrollable rage that had been present when Lin Fei first entered her bedroom.

Clearly, Lin Fei’s previous words had indeed cooled down the great CEO Mu to a certain extent.

The reason CEO Mu Shanshan wanted Lin Fei out of the bedroom wasn’t because she was still mad at him, but because she needed to change her clothes.

Understood the real reason for being asked to leave, Lin Fei took a silent breath of relief, and he became even less willing to go.

“I don’t think there’s a need for me, as a husband, to avoid being present while my own wife is changing,” he said, his eyes widening, clearly not wanting to miss any potential glimpse of her undressing.

“If you don’t want those two girls to stay in the company after their internship, you can choose to stay here,” she said.

It was clear that, although touched slightly by Lin Fei, CEO Mu had not yet reached the realm of changing clothes in front of Lin Fei, her so-called husband.

“Wife, I suddenly remembered you haven’t eaten since last night, I’ll go make you some food.” While the temptation of staying to watch his CEO wife change clothes was huge for Lin Fei, it would be a loss not worth the cost if because of this Mu Shanshan were to reject Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen from the company.

Of course, the main reason was, Lin, the official, had already spoken his big words.

If Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen couldn’t stay in Mu Group after their internships, then he, Lin the official, would truly be too ashamed to face Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, who had offered kisses to him multiple times.

Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen were one thing, but if Ning Qi were to find out, who knows how she might torment him.

Therefore, after a direct threat from Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei wisely left Mu Shanshan’s bedroom.

…

Lin Fei, who had left Mu Shanshan’s bedroom and was idly watching TV in the living room, heard Mu Shanshan coming downstairs.

He turned around to look and was instantly stunned.

Mu Shanshan was already extremely beautiful, but clad in a strapless black evening gown, she looked like an angel descending in the night, breathtakingly beautiful.

Mu Shanshan was naturally fair-skinned with an alabaster complexion, the black evening dress made her snow-white skin look even more strikingly pale and alluring, like smoothly flowing jade that sparked desire.

Throughout their marriage, this was the first time Lin Fei had seen his CEO wife wear an evening gown, and likewise the first time he had seen her wear something slightly provocative.

“Wife, are you going to attend a banquet?!” Recovering from his surprise, Lin Fei struggled to suppress the stirring in his heart and spoke with composure.

“Not me, us.”

“Eh, um?!”

Lin Fei was taken aback, though he had already guessed from Mu Shanshan’s slightly sexy evening gown that she was going to a banquet.

However, he clearly had not expected that Mu Shanshan would think to bring him along.

“What are you waiting for?

Go change your clothes, I’ll only wait for you for ten minutes.

If you’re not down in ten minutes, I’ll go by myself.”

Seeing Lin Fei lost in thought, Mu Shanshan’s lips, glossed with bright lipstick, slightly parted, signaling him to hurry and change.

“Wife, are you sure you want me to come with you?!” Seeing that Mu Shanshan wasn’t joking, Lin Fei became even more puzzled.

Lin Fei was no stranger to high society banquets.

It was precisely because he had attended them before that he understood the significance of Mu Shanshan wanting to bring him along.

Typically, at such banquets in high society, if a woman brings a man, it signifies to everyone that he is her companion.

Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were already married, so there was obviously no question of him being just a companion or not.

Mu Shanshan’s action of bringing Lin Fei to the banquet was undeniably a declaration to all attendees that the business goddess of Zhonghai was married!

In short, Mu Shanshan was announcing to her elite circle that Lin Fei was, in fact, her husband.

Her actions undeniably also conveyed to Lin Fei that she was beginning to gradually acknowledge him as her husband, no matter how provisional it had been.

If one had to describe Lin Fei’s mental state at the moment, it would be—happiness came so unexpectedly that Mr.

Lin was somewhat slow to savor it.

“What’s the matter, you don’t want to go?!”

As Lin Fei thought, it was because of his inadequate rebuttal and what she deemed rather sweet “lovey-dovey talk” that Mu Shanshan began to see Lin Fei, her nominal husband, in a more serious light and wanted to use this opportunity to repair the relationship between them.

Seeing Lin Fei looking unwilling, Mu Shanshan’s originally slightly blushed beautiful face instantly grew cold.

Seeing his CEO wife’s cold expression, Lin Fei hurriedly explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, I—”

“You have eight minutes left.”

Clearly, CEO Mu was not in the mood for an extended explanation.

Considering she had taken the initiative to invite Lin Fei to the banquet to mend their spousal dynamic, and Lin Fei was being so hesitant, she was not inclined to show him any more patience.

“I’m going now.” Seeing Mu Shanshan’s displeasure, Lin Fei wisely abandoned any further probing and quickly headed upstairs.

As Lin Fei showed understanding and went to change, the corners of Mu Shanshan’s lips, highlighted with the bright lipstick, curved into a slight smile.

“Wife, you’re welcome to come up and watch me change.”

Following Lin Fei’s seemingly casual invitation, the slight smile on Mu Shanshan’s lips abruptly froze.
