Chapter 293 - 293 293 Giving You the Chance to Spend Time in a World of Just the Two of You

293: Chapter 293: Giving You the Chance to Spend Time in a World of Just the Two of You 293: Chapter 293: Giving You the Chance to Spend Time in a World of Just the Two of You On the twenty-sixth floor of Moongaze Building, in the president’s office of Mu Group, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate.

“Why has Vice Minister Lin gone silent?

Usually, he’s quite talkative.

Do you want to go or not?

You must let me know what you think!”

Her jet-black hair was swept up high, and beneath the trembling lashes were her eyes, shimmering with strands of chill.

With her arms folded across her chest, Mu Shanshan appeared like a lofty empress, unapproachable and inviolable, pressuring Lin Fei.

As for Lin Fei, who had been bitten on the lip by Mu Shanshan, had his dreams disturbed, and felt annoyed, and hence kicked open the door to Mu Shanshan’s office, intending to assert familial authority to reinforce husbandly dominance, he wilted completely under the Empress-like disdain and rebuke from Mu Shanshan.

“President Mu, Vice Minister Lin is naturally forthright.

I’m sure he didn’t mean to kick the door intentionally,” said Ling Weiwei, who didn’t understand the relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, misinterpreting Mu Shanshan’s displeasure as stemming from Lin Fei kicking her office door.

There and then, the woman stood up, speaking in Lin Fei’s defense, while giving him meaningful glances, urging him to hurry up and apologize to Mu Shanshan.

Looking at Ling Weiwei, whose bright eyes remained clear and sparkling even in such a situation, Mr.

Lin genuinely felt like bursting into tears.

In such a scene and time, it was not a matter that a mere apology could resolve.

Indeed, Mr.

Lin had fallen into an unprovoked misfortune.

Watching Ling Weiwei’s ceaseless, expressive eyes, Lin Fei truly didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.

Although he felt that making plans without his permission to spend time alone together was somewhat presumptuous and overbearing,

Nevertheless, considering Ling Weiwei had both the face and the figure to boast of, Lin Fei clearly didn’t mind sacrificing some personal time to accompany this beautiful minister, Ling Weiwei, to Ningzhou.

Alas, Ling Weiwei with good intentions ended up causing trouble, choosing to proactively seek out Mu Shanshan, the ice queen president, to report.

This was practically pushing Mr.

Lin into a pit of fire!

Lin Fei was initially confused as to why Mu Shanshan, his wife and president, knowing his lips were injured, still insisted on calling him and making him come to the office.

After grasping the whole story, Lin Fei couldn’t help feeling somewhat relieved inside.

Any woman in Mu Shanshan’s position, encountering such an incident, would probably struggle to suppress feelings of jealousy, internal displeasure, or even erupt in fury.

In comparison, Mu Shanshan simply phoned Lin Fei to come to the office, rather than rushing back home to irrationally sentence him to death.

In some sense, this was already a moderate display of restraint for a woman.

“Lin Fei, what are you dawdling for?

Apologize to President Mu right now!”

Whatever Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei were thinking, it clearly eluded this beautiful minister, Ling Weiwei.

Despite sending many meaningful looks, she received no response from Lin Fei.

Ling Weiwei’s pretty eyes narrowed slightly as she couldn’t help raising her voice in tender reproach.

Good gracious, would you please stop?

Can’t you see my wife is about to blow her top?!

To Lin Fei, Ling Weiwei’s apparent scolding, which in reality was her way of protecting him, truly made him feel like rolling his eyes over and over again.

“My mouth hurts, I don’t want to talk.”

Seeing that both Ling Weiwei and Mu Shanshan were staring at him, waiting for his reply, and knowing full well anything he said now would be wrong, Lin Fei opted to play dumb.

It was clear that if Lin Fei expressed unwillingness to go, it would, at the same time, be a snub to the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei and inevitably hurt her feelings.

If Lin Fei said he was willing to go, whether he could make it out of Mu Shanshan’s CEO office unscathed was another matter.

A mishap could lead to the rupture of marital ties and possibly herald the end of their marriage.

Had this been during the early days of their marriage when Lin Fei was not at all favored by his CEO wife Mu Shanshan, and had the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei offered her heartfelt devotion, perhaps Lin Fei might have simply nodded and followed Ling Weiwei.

But times had changed.

The marital relationship between Lin Fei and his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, had seen significant improvements; if things continued to ameliorate, he might even end up taking his CEO wife Mu Shanshan to bed one day.

Conversely, the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei had taken the initiative to invite him to Ningzhou, presenting a chance to spend time alone.

A nod from Lin Fei could lead to rolling in the sheets with the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei, a near certainty.

Unwilling to give up on either side and unable to offend either, silence became the best choice for the esteemed Mr.

Lin.

“Vice Minister Lin, how did your lips end up like this?”

Lin Fei wanted to maintain his silence, but Mu Shanshan, feeling sour and frustrated, started pouring salt on his wounds.

He had whispered sweet nothings to her the previous night, yet within less than 24 hours, he was planning to whisk another woman away to spend time alone.

Was that even possible?!

If the powerful CEO Mu herself hadn’t known about it, that’d be a different story, but now that she did know, there was no way she would let Lin Fei off the hook.

This also meant that she, the formidable CEO Mu, through Lin Fei’s expression and tone, could indirectly discern that Lin Fei hadn’t pre-arranged with Ling Weiwei to go to Ningzhou as she had suggested.

Otherwise, CEO Mu would not have bothered beating around the bush with Lin Fei and Ling Weiwei—she would have given Lin Fei an icy glare that could’ve frozen him into a sculpture.

“Do you really want to know?” asked Lin Fei.

Although Mr.

Lin certainly had a complicated and messy relationship with the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei in private, he genuinely felt wronged this time.

Mu Shanshan’s probing attitude was maddening for him.

“I’m more interested in knowing whether you, Vice Minister Lin, are willing to accompany Minister Ling to Ningzhou,” Mu Shanshan pressed.

Having lived together for quite some time, CEO Mu was quite familiar with Lin Fei, her husband in name.

Seeing his eyes beginning to wander dishonestly, she had little trouble guessing that Lin Fei was probably brewing up some mischief.

Without further ado, Mu Shanshan, with a cold and sharp gaze, bluntly voiced her command.

“I think it would be better for you, CEO Mu, and Minister Ling to go to Ningzhou together while I stay here to hold down the fort at the company,” Lin Fei retorted.

Having sensed Mu Shanshan’s sour mood and with Ling Weiwei watching them “like a tiger eying its prey,” Lin Fei was unwilling to respond directly.

Naturally, he wanted to muddle the waters as much as possible.

Only by doing so could he manage to circumvent his CEO wife Mu Shanshan and still take the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei to enjoy their world for two.

“Since Vice Minister Lin has no objections, then it’s settled.

You will depart for Ningzhou early tomorrow.

I’ll give you three days; upon your return, I expect good news,” Mu Shanshan declared firmly, taking Lin Fei by surprise and leaving him momentarily at a loss…
