The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 360 - 360 360 Wanting to Wash the Hair for the Goddess Mu

360: Chapter 360: Wanting to Wash the Hair for the Goddess Mu 360: Chapter 360: Wanting to Wash the Hair for the Goddess Mu Lin Fei drove Mu Shanshan’s BMW from the Zhonghai Police Station towards the Purple Garden Pavilion villa.

The entire way there was silent.

Lin Fei was silent, not because he didn’t want to speak, but because he couldn’t.

Having coveted Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, for more than a day or two and having spent many years navigating the world of desires, how could Lin Fei not understand the importance of using the time alone with Mu Shanshan, just after her release from the police station, to bridge the gap in their marital relationship?

But alas, Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, had absolutely no intention of engaging with him.

After Lin Fei had informed Mu Shanshan that Fang Zhentao was under arrest by the Zhonghai police on suspicion of money laundering, Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, had a brief moment of stunned silence before repetitively confirming with Lin Fei that the Fang Family was essentially doomed.

After that, Mu Shanshan began making calls on her cell phone.

First, she called Shen Fanghua, the Executive Director, and after receiving confirmation from Shen once again, Mu Shanshan pondered for a few minutes before deciding to call Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister.

After all, Lin Fei, who had an affair with the beautiful minister Ling Weiwei, intended to interrupt Mu Shanshan’s call with Ling Weiwei.

After much contemplation, he didn’t dare to truly act out or do anything to Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife.

Precisely because of this, Mu Shanshan, who was constantly on the phone with Ling Weiwei throughout the journey, didn’t pay him much attention at all.

This resulted in an almost completely silent trip for the couple.

Only when they arrived home and Mu Shanshan got out of the car did she finally end the call.

However, she didn’t give Lin Fei much chance for conversation either, heading straight upstairs to the study.

“Nephew-in-law, why did you come back so late today?

The missus doesn’t seem very happy; you haven’t made her angry again, have you?”

Seeing Mu Shanshan’s chilled expression as she headed upstairs directly, Aunt Lan, unaware of Mu Shanshan’s ordeal in the interrogation room earlier that day, thought Lin Fei had angered Mu Shanshan again.

Without giving Lin Fei a chance to argue or explain, Aunt Lan immediately took him to sit down in the living room and spoke softly, “Nephew-in-law, you and the missus have been married for a decent amount of time now.

You still don’t understand her temperament?

She can’t stand any disobedience, so just restrain yourself a little more and accommodate her.

In a marriage, someone has to be willing to compromise to maintain harmony.”

As if I haven’t conceded to her enough, how many wives would dare to bluntly refuse their husbands like that!

Aunt Lan’s words truly made Lin Fei inwardly grumble and also couldn’t help but feel a hint of grievance.

Truly, it was he who had gone through great trouble to rescue Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, from the interrogation.

Even if Mu Shanshan had ignored him the whole way back, that was to be expected—Lin Fei was well aware of her icy temperament and her commitment to Mu Group.

However, Aunt Lan’s words now made Lin Fei feel quite helpless and annoyed.

Had he actually done something to wrong Mu Shanshan and then been lectured by Aunt Lan, that would have been acceptable.

But he had merit, for goodness’ sake.

Yet this was something he couldn’t explain to Aunt Lan either.

Considering Aunt Lan’s deep affection for Mu Shanshan, if she were to learn that Mu Shanshan had been in an interrogation room for nearly ten hours, it would undoubtedly be too much for her to handle.

Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, had already been rescued by him; naturally, there was no need to cause Aunt Lan any further worry.

And it was for this reason that Lin Fei, despite feeling very frustrated and pained, had no choice but to patiently listen to Aunt Lan’s lecture.

“Let it be, nephew-in-law.

The matters between you and the missus aren’t something I should intervene in.

You better go upstairs and check on her.

I’ll go reheat the dinner for you both; remember to bring the missus down for the meal later.”

Seeing that Lin Fei’s attitude was still acceptable, Aunt Lan, who knew Mu Shanshan’s temperament, didn’t lecture Lin Fei any further and stood up to reheat the dinner for him and Mu Shanshan.

As Aunt Lan left the room, Lin Fei didn’t linger in the living room either, but got up and headed upstairs.

Even without Aunt Lan’s lecture, Lin Fei obviously wasn’t prepared to let Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, just comfortably stay in the study.

After all, he, the husband, had busied himself with matters concerning Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, all day.

In a marriage, it clearly would have been odd to say “thank you.”

Well, I ought to collect some interest, shouldn’t I?

…

“If you’re here to ask me to have dinner, don’t bother, I’m not hungry right now.”

The moment Lin Fei pushed the door and entered the study, Mu Shanshan’s words, brimming with a coldness that warned strangers to keep their distance, followed.

It wasn’t that Mu Shanshan harbored any prejudices against Lin Fei, her husband in name only, nor that she didn’t want to deal with Lin Fei.

As sharp as Mu Shanshan was, having led the Mu Group to multiple-fold increases in performance within just two years, how could she fail to realize that her ability to walk out of the interrogation room, even to the collapse of the Fang Family, was largely due to her husband in name only’s significant contribution.

Despite being known as the Ice Queen CEO of Zhonghai, Mu Shanshan was still a woman.

Moreover, she was a woman with a hint of romantic inclinations.

She was touched by, attracted to, and emotionally moved by her husband in name only, Lin Fei.

Mu Shanshan too wished to let everything go, nestle into Lin Fei’s arms, and savor the protective comfort he offered.

But she couldn’t!

Because she was the CEO of the Mu Group, and what she carried on her shoulders was the entirety of the Mu Group!

With the downfall of the Fang Family, the Fangxing Group would inevitably collapse.

Even if it didn’t go under immediately, it wouldn’t last much longer.

And this period was an excellent opportunity for the Mu Group to grow stronger!

As the CEO of the Mu Group, Mu Shanshan had to temporarily set aside her personal emotions and strive to firmly grasp this growth opportunity!

For that reason, she could only neglect Lin Fei.

“I’m sorry, dear wife Shanshan, I think you’ve misunderstood me.

I didn’t come here to ask you to have dinner, but rather for something much more important.”

“I don’t have time right now, whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow.”

Her lovely gaze lifted slightly, briefly fixing on Lin Fei, as Mu Shanshan abruptly issued him a dismissal.

“This matter can’t wait until tomorrow.”

“I choose not to listen.”

“You have to listen to this matter, whether you want to or not.

And you can’t refuse.”

“You should know that I’m very busy right now.”

“Firstly, we’re not at the company.

Secondly, I’m not discussing this with you.”

Mu Shanshan was busy, and Lin Fei was well aware of this.

From the first day he got to know his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, she had always been busy.

Whether it was at the company or at home.

However, this was no reason for Lin Fei to back down.

He was Mu Shanshan’s husband, not her subordinate.

At the company, he might follow CEO wife Mu Shanshan’s instructions, but at home, CEO wife Mu Shanshan had to listen to him.

“Go ahead, what is it?”

As Lin Fei had pointed out, they were at home, not the office.

Therefore, Mu Shanshan’s Ice Queen CEO demeanor was undoubtedly weaker.

Under Lin Fei’s commanding gaze, Mu Shanshan yielded.

Seeing his CEO wife concede, Lin Fei’s expression softened slightly, a trace of joy hidden in his eyes, “Actually, it’s nothing serious.

Still, you did spend some time at the station.

Now that you’re out, according to the rules, you’re supposed to shave your head.

But since you’re a woman, we’ll skip the shaving.

I will, with great reluctance, wash your hair for you.”

Saying this, Lin Fei confidently walked toward the somewhat dazed Mu Shanshan…
