351: Chapter 351: Find a Lover to Save the Wife 351: Chapter 351: Find a Lover to Save the Wife “What did he just say, wife?!”

On the seventeenth floor of the Moongaze Building, with her dark hair pulled up high, Ling Weiwei’s face was as delicate and pale as jade, and below her trembling eyelashes, those eyes like autumn waters held a touch of dissatisfaction.

Although, Ling Weiwei was quite satisfied with Lin Fei, who always took responsibility when necessary.

However, Lin Fei constantly referring to Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO, as “my wife” did not sit well with Ling Weiwei, who was oblivious to the marital relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan.

Even in such a context, she felt the urge to rush downstairs, drag Lin Fei back up, and give him a serious lesson.

“Looking at President Ling’s expression, she seems less than pleased.

That’s right, President Ling has had her eyes on our Vice Minister Lin for more than a day or two.

Now that President Mu has been taken away for investigation assistance, could it be that President Ling wants to seize her position?”

Clearly, Ling Weiwei wasn’t the only one not pleased with Lin Fei’s declaration of “my wife, I’ll save her.” Shen Peini, who also shared an intimate relationship with Lin Fei, was obviously not happy either.

But being somewhat aware of the private relations between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, and considering that Mu Shanshan was indirectly suffering for her sake, Shen Peini clearly had no grievances against Mu Shanshan.

As for Ling Weiwei, her former boss, now colleague and sort of a love rival, Shen Peini, a mature and knowledgeable woman, obviously wouldn’t mind taking the opportunity to take a few shots at her.

“President Shen must be joking.

I’m sure you are well aware that now is not the time for romantic concerns.”

Taking Mu Shanshan’s place, be it in the workplace or in terms of emotions, was clearly not something Ling Weiwei would entertain.

As Mu Shanshan’s most trusted confidante, with Mu Shanshan being taken away for investigation assistance and Ling Weiwei tasked with steering the Mu Group through this crisis, she felt aggrieved by Lin Fei’s reference to Mu Shanshan, but her focus was more on how to stabilize the company.

“By President Ling’s tone, does she plan to give up on Vice Minister Lin temporarily?”

“You misunderstand, President Shen.”

“That’s true, how could President Ling bear to give up on Vice Minister Lin after not forgetting to bring him along on her business trips?”

“Still better than President Shen taking a man shopping during work hours!”

“Couldn’t be helped, Vice Minister Lin invited me, and it was an offer too generous to refuse.”

“So, he was the one who approached you?”

“Otherwise, what did you think, President Ling?”

“Regardless, leaving for shopping during work hours can be considered as absenteeism.

Sorry, President Shen, but I’m afraid you’ll lose your bonus this month.”

“No worries, I suppose Vice Minister Lin would be happy to compensate me.”

“His bonus and salary are gone!”

…

In the West Suburb of Zhonghai, the stronghold of the Thorny Rose, Rose Manor.

Lin Fei, unaware that his departing remark had sparked a bout of jealousy and rivalry between Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei and even led to Ling Weiwei, now wielding great power, withholding his salary and bonus, left the Moongaze Building and went straight to Xue Mei.

It’s not that Lin Fei suddenly had an impulsive desire to roll in the sheets with Xue Mei, although such thoughts had always lingered in his mind.

However, with Mu Shanshan being taken away for police investigation, such impulses in Lin Fei’s mind clearly did not have the appropriate conditions to be unleashed.

Lin Fei had declined Ling Weiwei’s suggestion to seek Shen Peini’s aunt, Shen Fanghua’s help in bailing out Mu Shanshan, because Lin Fei knew very well that Mu Shanshan’s assistance in the investigation was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The terror attack at the Oriental Shopping Mall, Lin Fei very clearly understood what had happened.

Now, however, the Mu Group was being implicated in a covert way, compelling Lin Fei to give the situation considerable thought!

Getting Mu Shanshan bailed out wasn’t too difficult, but that wasn’t a fundamental solution to the problem.

What Lin Fei intended to do was to use the intelligence power of Thorny Rose to ascertain the true story behind the events and thus solve the problem from its root!

Some time had passed since the Azure Dragon Gang’s major assault.

Under the concerted efforts of the Thorny Rose members to repair it, Rose Manor had largely been restored to its original state.

The only difference was that, unlike when Lin Fei first arrived, and many Thorny Rose members who weren’t too clear about Lin Fei and Xue Mei’s relationship seemed mostly wary and surprised when they saw him.

Now, the only expression in their eyes when they looked at Lin Fei was—admiration!

Strong individuals are respected no matter where they are.

Previously, Thorny Rose members were in the dark regarding Lin Fei’s strength, therefore they harbored suspicions and even aversion towards him.

However, having personally been rescued from the encirclement of the Azure Dragon Gang by Lin Fei, there wasn’t a single Thorny Rose member who would feel aversion towards Lin Fei, their lifesaver, anymore.

Thus, on the way, the Thorny Rose members who saw Lin Fei mostly showed admiration, some even saluting from a distance with clasped hands.

In response, Lin Fei, who cherished his wife and company president, generally disregarded these gestures and headed straight to Xue Mei’s private villa.

…

Her black gem-like eyes emitted an indescribable sentiment, while her luscious lips were brushed with a layer of light lip color, bestowing a moist appearance.

The wine-red gossamer slip dress outlined her prominent chest and the snow-white cleavage at her neckline to perfection.

The light purple lace at the hem couldn’t hide her slender and fair legs.

With hips curvy and waist slim, almond eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows, the mature and voluptuous figure draped in the slip dress appeared like a delicate curve.

Xue Mei, seated on the living room sofa, her ivory soft fingers tinkered with her antique purple sand pot tea set, everything exactly as when Lin Fei first saw her.

The only difference now was Lin Fei’s mental state.

If Mu Shanshan, his president wife, hadn’t been taken away for assistance in the investigation by the Zhonghai city police, under the current circumstances, Lin Fei surely wouldn’t have minded wrapping his arms around Xue Mei, this creature of cold beauty and seductiveness, to flirt and talk of love.

If Xue Mei were not too opposed, to engage in more intimate activities on the sofa would not have been out of the question either.

Alas, that was just hypothetical.

“You seem to be in a rather bad mood.”

After Lin Fei took his seat, while passing him a cup of tea, Xue Mei spoke softly.

“What makes you say that?”

“In the past, you wouldn’t behave this properly when visiting me.”

Even though Xue Mei hadn’t known Lin Fei for very long and he hadn’t visited many times, from her understanding of Lin Fei’s nature, she was very much aware of the allure she had for him.

If it hadn’t been for this, how could she, the chairman of Thorny Rose, have ended up being manhandled by Lin Fei into rolling in the sheets?

Now, after Lin Fei entered her villa, he didn’t get too close to her.

If Xue Mei had not been able to sense something odd about Lin Fei, she wouldn’t be worthy of leading such a large organization as Thorny Rose.

Of course, it was also because Xue Mei set her heart on Lin Fei.

Because she cared deeply, she could sense it without words.
