Chapter 279 - 279 279 An Introduction Stupefying Two Women

279: Chapter 279 An Introduction, Stupefying Two Women 279: Chapter 279 An Introduction, Stupefying Two Women “Honey, who is that woman speaking on stage?” After the banquet had started, Lin Fei, who had been dragged into the banquet hall by his wife, was a bit stunned after seeing the woman speaking on stage clearly.

Once he came to his senses, he quickly pulled Mu Shanshan aside and whispered.

“Do you have anything to do with her?” Knowing Lin Fei’s nature well, Mu Shanshan felt a natural aversion to his pointless inquiries about the identity of other women.

“Actually, a little bit.”

“Huh?!”

“I’m afraid she might come over and try to seduce me later.

When that happens, honey, you’ll have to block her for me.”

“Could you be any more conceited?!”

“I just want to give you a heads up so you don’t get flustered later.”

Mr.

Lin, the official, was simply being honestly cautious.

If the woman speaking on stage recognized him, Mr.

Lin, there might be a messy mixed doubles situation.

As a husband, Lin Fei felt it was his duty to give his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, a precautionary warning.

“Honey, you haven’t told me who she is yet?” Seeing Mu Shanshan stop speaking halfway and sensing her apprehension, Lin Fei couldn’t help but ask again.

“Gu Lanzi.”

“Nice name.

What does she do?”

“The charity dinner tonight was initiated by the Zhonghai City Council, and she’s speaking on behalf of it.

What do you think she does?”

“Host?”

“Deputy leader!”

With that, Mu Shanshan, utterly speechless and thinking Lin Fei to be excessively egotistical, turned her head away in indifference.

“Honey, I’m going to the restroom.

If I don’t come back, don’t wait for me; just go home on your own.” Once Lin Fei grasped Gu Lanzi’s identity, his first instinct once he had recovered his sense was to flee.

He couldn’t just not run.

Gu Lanzi was no stranger; she was the woman who had recently shared some romantic time with him, Mr.

Lin, at the jewelry counter in the Oriental Mall.

Afterwards, he had tossed her into a hotel, rolling in the sheets for a night.

If Lin Fei bumped into Gu Lanzi privately, naturally, he wouldn’t fear her.

Although, Gu Lanzi’s identity was somewhat special.

However, for Lin Fei, who had been privately received by the president of a foreign country abroad, Gu Lanzi’s deputy leader status clearly couldn’t exert much psychological pressure on him.

What really caused Lin Fei to consider escaping was the presence of Mu Shanshan nearby.

There was no helping it.

Who made Mr.

Lin an official man who had already married Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, with a marriage certificate?

If Gu Lanzi recognized Mr.

Lin and uttered some unpleasant words, caught in a pincer attack between two women, Mr.

Lin would definitely be in trouble.

A small mishap could lead to a major uproar.

“I assume this is the business goddess of our Zhonghai, the president of the Mu Group.”

Lin Fei recognized Gu Lanzi and wanted to make a run for it under the guise of using the restroom, but it seemed that Gu Lanzi had no intention of giving him the chance to escape.

The banquet hall was only so big, and with Gu Lanzi, the esteemed leader, standing on the stage, looking down from above, how could she not notice Lin Fei, the man who haunted her dreams?

Originally, Gu Lanzi thought that Lin Fei was nothing more than a shooting star that had passed through her life, and there would be no further intersection between them.

After all, Zhonghai was so vast, with such a large population.

In the vast sea of people, the possibility of the two meeting again was virtually zero.

Although she could use her power to search for Lin Fei’s whereabouts, she ultimately refrained.

Because to do so would be a desecration of their meeting.

Not to mention whether she could find Lin Fei, even if she did, it would lose the charm of their initial encounter.

During this period, whenever Gu Lanzi had a moment to spare from work, Lin Fei’s shadow would appear in her mind.

However, she had always been restraining herself, suppressing the feelings welling up in her heart, and the longing that surfaced in her thoughts.

Because she knew better than anyone that with her status, she was not fit to have any further involvement with Lin Fei.

She had even prepared herself to treat Lin Fei as a beautiful memory and permanently seal him in her heart.

But now, Lin Fei had once again appeared before her.

Upon seeing Lin Fei for the first time, Gu Lanzi’s first thought was that she was experiencing a hallucination.

Even when she finally confirmed that Lin Fei was indeed the man who haunted her dreams, Gu Lanzi felt more panic than joy.

She didn’t know how to face Lin Fei; she wanted to draw closer to him yet feared getting close.

Until Gu Lanzi, standing on the stage, realized that Lin Fei seemed to have noticed her but was whispering something to Mu Shanshan before making a move to leave, she couldn’t help herself.

She quickly concluded her speech, declined the polite gestures of the people around her, and walked casually toward Mu Shanshan, cutting off Lin Fei’s path without being noticed.

“On behalf of the City Council and the people of the mountainous region, I want to thank President Mu for her donation.

If Zhonghai could have more philanthropists like President Mu, it would indeed be a fortune for our citizens,” Gu Lanzi said while speaking to Mu Shanshan, but if one looked closely, they could see her glancing at Lin Fei out of the corner of her eye without a trace.

“Leader Gu, you are too kind; this is what I should do,” Mu Shanshan, surprised by Gu Lanzi’s sudden appearance, responded with a certain fondness despite the surprise.

“I’ve heard that President Mu doesn’t like attending these kinds of banquets, so I’m very happy that you could come today.

I’ll toast to President Mu,” Gu Lanzi said as she took two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter’s tray, and smilingly handed one to Mu Shanshan.

Although Mu Shanshan was naturally aloof, she obviously wouldn’t refuse Gu Lanzi’s kindness as a leader.

“What’s this, isn’t President Mu going to introduce me?” After the pleasantries, Gu Lanzi seemingly casually glanced at Lin Fei, whom she had blocked, and gestured a toast to Mu Shanshan.

Damn, I knew this woman’s intentions weren’t focused on the wine!

The moment Gu Lanzi approached, Lin Fei, the esteemed official himself, had an ominous feeling.

And now, after exchanging but a few polite words with Mu Shanshan, Gu Lanzi had turned the conversation towards him.

How could he, Lin Fei, not see that Gu Lanzi was here for him?

“This must be Leader Gu, I am Shanshan’s husband, Lin Fei.

It’s my first time meeting you, so please look after me,” considering the situation impossible to avoid, Lin Fei preemptively introduced himself, without waiting for Mu Shanshan to do so.

Lin Fei’s self-introduction, reminiscent of a reminder, caused both women, Mu Shanshan and Gu Lanzi, to lose their composure for a moment, almost simultaneously…
