299: Chapter 299: A Meeting by Appointment 299: Chapter 299: A Meeting by Appointment “…I can’t help but feel there’s something off about you today, you haven’t really been corrupted by that gold-digger Tan Lin, have you?”

Doubtfully feeling Lin Fei’s forehead to make sure he didn’t have a fever, Shen Lexuan was able to rest easy and threw Lin Fei a disdainful look.

“As for becoming a full-time housewife, let’s talk about it the day you become a hotel general manager.”

Shen Lexuan, who had completely dismissed Lin Fei’s persuasion, quickly turned her attention to the purses that had accidentally fallen to the ground.

“Oh dear, I’m really sorry about this.”

After picking up several purses from the ground, Shen Lexuan, draped with four bags, touched three new models in succession and looked at Lin Fei in disbelief, murmuring, “Do they really all belong to me now?”

“I don’t care, you bought them for me already, they’re mine now, and it’s too late for you to change your mind.”

After protectively clutching the bags, Shen Lexuan, as if fearing Lin Fei might have second thoughts, gestured with a tilt of her head and turned to walk toward the elevator.

“I’m done shopping, I’m done.

I’m starving, almost to death; let’s go home, I’ll cook for you.”

It was as if a little girl had received her favorite doll, the joyful smile on Shen Lexuan’s fair, melon-seeded face was more sincere and natural than the professional smile she often needed for work, revealing a touch of innocence and playfulness.

“It’s really something special, Lin Fei, ah Lin Fei, you’ve found a treasure again.” Having never seen Shen Lexuan reveal such a girlish demeanor, Lin Fei smiled knowingly and immediately stepped up to follow the briskly walking Shen Lexuan.

“We’ll take some shrimp, two fish as well, and, oh, two crabs too.”

Resolved to reward Lin Fei with a lavish dinner for earning a slap in the face of old grievances and acquiring three new purses, Shen Lexuan, realizing there wasn’t much food at home, dragged Lin Fei down to the supermarket to shop.

“We need some vegetables, fruits too.

And, oh right, red wine, I only have one bottle left at home.

I’m so happy today, we should drink a little more, let’s buy two more bottles.”

While claiming she’d buy two bottles, Shen Lexuan, after grabbing two, showed no sign of stopping.

“…That’s enough already, if you keep this up, I’ll be scared to go home with you.”

Seeing the shopping cart nearly full, Shen Lexuan still grabbing more, Lin Fei, with a forehead full of black lines, hurriedly stopped her.

“Please, no more, this is a trap!

Buying so much wine, I see you just want to get me drunk to take advantage of me!”

“You guessed right, I do want to get you drunk, to hear your drunken truths.

If you please me, I might consider giving you the chance to take advantage of me.”

After batting her phoenix eyes and teasing Lin Fei, Shen Lexuan grabbed another bottle of red wine and whispered in Lin Fei’s ear with a light touch of her lips, “Red wine is good for your skin, I’ll drink a bit more, and in the end, it’s you who will benefit, right?”

“You’re forcing my hand here.”

Initially, Lin Fei’s feelings for Shen Lexuan were more heart-driven, but faced with Shen Lexuan’s advances, Lin Fei pulled her into his arms and with his other hand grabbed two bottles of wine nearby.

“Here, let’s take two more.”

“That’s enough, it won’t fit anymore.”

After giving Lin Fei an amused look, Shen Lexuan whispered mysteriously into Lin Fei’s ear, “I suddenly remembered, we forgot to buy something.”

“It’s okay, I remember it.”
