302: Chapter 302 Pretending to Be Dumb Backfires 302: Chapter 302 Pretending to Be Dumb Backfires “Lin Fei, keep your distance from me!”

On the flight from Zhonghai to Ningzhou, in the business class section where Lin Fei and Ling Weiwei were seated, Ling Weiwei, embarrassed by Lin Fei’s straightforward comments about sleeping with her, couldn’t help but reprimand him with an icy countenance.

Although, this wasn’t the first time Minister Ling had heard Lin Fei say something like this; she had been taken advantage of by Lin Fei on more routine occasions.

However, this time the two were on a business trip, and Lin Fei’s blatant remarks were something that Minister Ling obviously found unacceptable.

Of course, the main issue was, Lin Fei’s words completely shattered Minister Ling’s romantic fantasies about their joint business trip.

“The cabin is only so big, where do you want me to go?

I just want to say, we’re finally on a trip, why bother buying a business class ticket when first class is so much better.”

Ling Weiwei found Lin Fei’s response to her reprimand, quite frankly, too nonchalant to take seriously.

In fact, this was only because they were on a plane and movement was restricted; if this wasn’t the case, and they were on the ground, say in a hotel room, gentleman Lin would surely do more than just talk about sleeping with Ling Weiwei.

Ling Weiwei’s pretty eyes turned frosty, and she gave Lin Fei an annoyed look, “Do you think the company is run by your family?

It’s already good enough that you get to fly business class—are you aware of any company that lets its employees travel in first class?!”

“Didn’t I tell you before that my dad is the chairman of the company?”

“You mean to say that Chairman Mu Hong is your father?!”

“Of course.”

“Sorry, I’ve never heard of Chairman Mu having any brothers or sisters.”

Ling Weiwei rolled her eyes at Lin Fei and closed them firmly, clearly indicating that she thought Lin Fei was spouting nonsense and didn’t want to waste time arguing with him.

Of course, the main reason was that she didn’t have the leisure that Lin Fei possessed.

After all, she was tasked with investigating the Ningzhou branch office and would be busy once she got off the plane.

Minister Ling clearly didn’t want to waste her limited energy on pointless arguments with Lin Fei.

“Weiwei, this is where you’re wrong.

How can you fall asleep when I’m right next to you?

You were the one who forcefully dragged me along—”

“Lin, what are you doing here?!”

As Lin Fei was thinking about how to liven up the mood and engage in some flirty fun with the beautiful Minister Ling in the sky, a sharp reprimand sounded beside him.

Lin Fei turned his head, and when he saw the beauty standing next to him, he was dumbfounded.

Her skin was like cream, her fair and lovely melon-seed face filled with astonishment; wrapped in a flight attendant’s uniform, she cut a striking and graceful figure.

The beauty standing by his side, holding a tray, was none other than Ning Qi—who had seized Lin’s bedroom and ended up being slept by the prominent official Lin.

“How could I be here?

Of course, it’s because you are—” Well-versed in the ways of the world, Lin Fei, who recognized Ning Qi and regained his composure, instinctively wanted to tease her.

However, halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that he was sitting next to Ling Weiwei, and he swiftly changed his tone, “Miss, do we know each other?”

Jolted from her astonishment and organizing her complicated relationship with Lin Fei in her mind while wondering how to continue the conversation with him, Ning Qi was totally dumbfounded by Lin Fei’s sudden interjection.

“Miss, I think you might have mistaken me for someone else.

It’s probably because I’m so handsome that people often use a sense of déjà vu as an excuse to strike up a conversation with me.

I believe you’re not that kind of person, right?”

Seeing Ning Qi at a loss, Lin Fei hurriedly went on, subtly winking at her, hoping she would grasp his intention to not recognize each other for the time being.

This wasn’t to say that the grand Lin Fei disliked Ning Qi or intended to hit and run without acknowledgment.

When it came to women, Lin Fei was relatively responsible.

The issue was just the timing of Ning Qi’s arrival.

Before boarding, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, was already somewhat displeased with Lin Fei due to the divisive farewell engineered by the seductress Shen Peini.

If, at this moment, Ling Weiwei were to perceive the intimate relationship between Lin Fei and another woman, their chances for a romantic world for two were basically fantasy.

Of course, the main issue was that Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, was a staunch confidante of Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

If Minister Ling became unhappy after discovering Ning Qi’s private relationship with Lin Fei and mentioned it to Mu Shanshan back in Zhonghai, Lin Fei would be in deep trouble.

In order to avoid a pincer attack from both Ling Weiwei and Mu Shanshan, the lofty Lin Fei had no choice but to wrong Ning Qi temporarily.

Of course, strictly speaking, Lin Fei didn’t really do Ning Qi much wrong.

Though he did sleep with Ning Qi in the bedroom of the rental apartment, it was after all Ning Qi who had first taken over his bed and then attempted to kick him off it.

“Mr.

Lin, this is where you’re at fault.

It’s bad enough to leave without paying, but how could you pretend not to recognize me?

It’s only a few hundred bucks, for crying out loud.

You’re an executive at Mu Group, surely you can afford it, right?!”

With Lin Fei’s antics of coaxing verbally while incessantly signaling with his eyes, and Ling Weiwei sitting blatantly by his side, as if in cahoots with him, how could Ning Qi fail to grasp Lin Fei’s intended message.

But seeing it for what it was, Ning Qi clearly had no intention of playing along with Lin Fei’s act.

Having recognized Lin Fei, Ning Qi had some regrets.

After all, they had indeed been intimate, and she had not yet decided how to face Lin Fei, who had taken her first time.

If Lin Fei had simply greeted her politely, Ning Qi would’ve likely left on her own, too embarrassed to stay.

But Lin Fei attempted to deny their acquaintance, which, to Ning Qi, who was unaware of Lin Fei’s thoughts, naturally made him out to be a heartless scoundrel who played her and intended to discard her.

With that thought in mind, how could Ning Qi let Lin Fei have an easy time?

“Mr.

Lin, if you honestly don’t have any money on you, perhaps you could ask the lady you’re with—”

“I don’t know him!”

Without waiting for Ning Qi to finish, Ling Weiwei, whose opinion of Lin Fei had hit rock bottom because of Ning Qi’s words, immediately spoke out coldly, temporarily dissociating herself from Lin Fei.

“Forget it, just consider it my bad luck not to see you again, Mr.

Lin.”

Having achieved her goal of getting back at Lin Fei, Ning Qi, who was an air hostess, naturally wouldn’t linger around him.

With a double entendre, she left a parting shot for Lin Fei, collected her tray delicately in her white, soft hands, and sashayed away…
