291: Chapter 291: No Need to Apologize, Because I Love You 291: Chapter 291: No Need to Apologize, Because I Love You “Honey, we’re home.”

At the entrance of the Purple Garden Pavilion, Lin Fei stopped the car and, seeing that Mu Shanshan showed no sign of getting out, couldn’t help but remind her.

“Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

Mu Shanshan, who had maintained silence throughout the drive from the Royal Hotel back to the Purple Garden Pavilion and had not spoken, fixed her gaze on Lin Fei coldly after he prompted her.

Lin Fei, who initially thought Mu Shanshan was quietly pondering about Meishilin business, felt an unexpected jolt in his heart upon her sudden question.

It wasn’t that Mr.

Lin had a weak disposition; it was much more the chilling coldness in Mu Shanshan’s eyes that put him under immense psychological pressure.

Of course, the main issue was that he indeed had an affair with Gu Lanzi, which was not suitable to confess to Mu Shanshan.

On the way, Gu Lanzi had called him three times, which truly alarmed Mr.

Lin.

Now, as Mu Shanshan stared at him, looking like she was ready to accuse him, Lin Fei couldn’t help but feel anxious.

However, facing the questioning from his CEO wife wasn’t new to him.

Revising in his mind his interactions with Gu Lanzi without noticing any slip that could reveal them, Lin Fei quickly steadied himself.

“I have so many things to say to you, but I just don’t know which aspect you mean, my wife.”

Stirring the muddy waters to confuse the real with the fake was clearly Lin Fei’s strategy at this moment.

“That night, after we dined at Meishilin and were on our way home, the people who blocked us were sent by Fang Wenxi, weren’t they?”

While speaking, Mu Shanshan’s chilling cold eyes stared at Lin Fei, clearly unwilling to miss any subtle changes in his facial expression.

Although Mu Shanshan was upset about Fang Wenxi’s acquisition of Meishilin, she, being accustomed to business battles, did not rely on Lin Fei betting ten billion with Fang Wenxi to win Meishilin back.

Yet, when Lin Fei proposed the ten billion wager at the Royal Hotel casino, Mu Shanshan didn’t try to dissuade him.

Even when Fang Wenxi questioned whether Lin Fei had the capital to follow through on the bet, Mu Shanshan didn’t hesitate to stand by her man, showing unconditional support for her less legitimate husband.

All of this was not because Mu Shanshan had strong confidence in Lin Fei winning the bet.

It all stemmed from Lin Fei’s direct allegations that Fang Wenxi had someone attempt to kill him.

Perhaps, the other entrepreneurs present at the charity dinner might consider Lin Fei’s explanation as a mere joke.

However, Mu Shanshan, who had experienced being intercepted by the Fang Family and Hawk team along with Lin Fei, certainly didn’t think Lin Fei was joking with Fang Wenxi.

Along the way, Mu Shanshan’s silence wasn’t because she was pondering the Meishilin won back by Lin Fei for her.

Although Meishilin holds immeasurable importance for her, CEO of Mu Group, to advance into the catering business, beyond her stature as CEO, she is first and foremost a woman, a married woman.

The night Lin Fei was ambushed, as his wife, she waited whole night at the doorstep.

Although she didn’t inquire too much afterward, that was largely because she understood that her apparent husband Lin Fei was no ordinary man.

Her not asking didn’t mean she didn’t care; it was simply her way of respecting the privacy of her so-called husband.

“It’s all in the past now, isn’t it unnecessary to bring up past issues again?”

With Mu Shanshan questioning whether Fang Wenxi sent someone to attack him or not, Lin Fei, who thought his wife had discovered his affair with Gu Lanzi, couldn’t help but secretly relieve a sigh of relief.

Fang Wenxi or not Fang Wenxi, whether there was an assassination attempt or not, Lin Fei clearly did not take it to heart.

In reality, the assassination attempt by Fang Wenxi wasn’t entirely bad for Lin Fei.

Although being attacked by Fang Wenxi’s men late at night was quite unpleasant for Lin Fei, it also caused Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, needless worry all night long.

However, because of this incident, Lin Fei had indirectly reconnected with Du Zhengting, his brother in life and death.

“I hope you can answer me truthfully, were the people who stopped us that night sent by Fang Wenxi?”

Lin Fei did not consider the assassination by Fang Wenxi a big deal, but Mu Shanshan clearly thought differently.

Initially thinking it was Lin Fei’s old enemy who had come knocking, Mu Shanshan, who had not asked Lin Fei too many questions, now realized that things might not be as she had thought, and feeling emotional turmoil was inevitable.

“Wife, can we not talk about this anymore?”

Seeing that something was off with Mu Shanshan’s emotions, Lin Fei clearly did not want his CEO wife to harbor any negative feelings over something that had already passed.

Yet Mu Shanshan was adamant, speaking coldly once again.

“Answer me!”

Seeing that his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, was determined, and her beautiful eyes even contained a hint of fierceness, Lin Fei could only nod, “I suppose so.”

With Lin Fei’s admission, Mu Shanshan, whose emotions were already turbulent, seemed to be under an immobilization spell, suddenly lowering her head in silence.

It was at this moment, while Lin Fei was pondering why his CEO wife was acting so unusually.

Mu Shanshan slightly lifted her head, her beautiful eyes intently staring at Lin Fei, her lips parted slightly, revealing a hint of a cry, “I’m sorry.”

What?

Already feeling a bit guilty for running into Gu Lanzi at the charity dinner, Lin Fei was completely stunned upon hearing his CEO wife’s apology.

Although Lin Fei knew that after he admitted that the ambush had been arranged by Fang Wenxi, Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, would likely feel somewhat guilty.

After all, the whole chain of conflicts with Fang Wenxi originated because of Mu Shanshan.

Had it not been for Mu Shanshan, Fang Wenxi clearly would not have gone to such lengths to arrange an assassination against him.

However, Lin Fei had not expected that Mu Shanshan would feel guilty enough to apologize to him proactively.

As the head of the enormous Mu Group, Mu Shanshan was cool and outstanding.

Because of her aloofness and excellence, her apology seemed all the more precious and even more difficult for Lin Fei to accept.

Mu Shanshan’s apology was like a soft knife, piercing directly into Lin Fei’s heart, causing him heartache and simultaneously arousing a surge of tender affection for his CEO wife.

“My dear Shanshan, my wife, I think I need to seriously warn you.” The pitiful appearance of Mu Shanshan while apologizing truly pained Lin Fei.

Amidst his heartache, Lin Fei couldn’t help but grasp her delicate shoulders and said firmly, “In this world, you can apologize to anyone.

But you must never apologize to me, because I am your husband.

And more importantly—because I love you.”
