Chapter 435 - 435 435 The Photo Comes Out Lin Fei is Shocked

435: Chapter 435: The Photo Comes Out, Lin Fei is Shocked 435: Chapter 435: The Photo Comes Out, Lin Fei is Shocked At night, Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were in the study on the second floor of the Purple Garden Pavilion.

In the clear morning, Mu Shanshan looked as ethereal as the Moon Palace Fairy, with her snow-white, smooth skin.

The tears still lingered on her beautiful face, which unusually bore a touch of sorrow.

If the employees of Mu Group saw her now, the Ice-queen CEO appearing so plaintive, even slightly aggrieved in a pitifully lovable way,

It would surely astonish them wholesale.

Ice-queen CEO, this title was indeed well-earned by Mu Shanshan.

Especially after the Fang Family’s downfall, when Mu Shanshan allied with Red Valley Group to acquire Fangxing Group with lightning-fast speed.

Mu Shanshan’s reputation as the Ice-queen CEO soared even higher in Zhonghai.

And in the entire Azure Dragon region, Ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan might not be universally known, but certainly enough to be renowned in the Business World!

Even in the business circles of Mo Country, Mu Shanshan’s collaboration with Red Valley Group to take over Fangxing Group caused quite a stir.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan was terribly aloof, forbidding approach from strangers!

Indeed, that was true, for even when facing the staff at the headquarters of Mu Group, Ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan rarely, if ever, showed much emotion.

But this did not mean she truly was as cold-hearted and callous as she appeared.

Due to her life experiences growing up, her temperament was indeed cold.

But it was only her demeanor that was cold, not her heart!

As a healthy modern woman, Ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan possessed a full spectrum of personal emotions.

It’s just that she didn’t readily show these feelings.

Because she had no experience with love, she didn’t know how to better express her emotions.

But when love came, she too would be moved.

And when facing a crisis in love, she too would feel pain!

The reason she presented a “Divorce Agreement” to Lin Fei wasn’t that she truly wanted him to sign it.

She didn’t want a divorce at all!

She merely wanted to use this rather aggressive tactic to express her deep displeasure at Lin Fei’s leaving home for ten days without so much as a word to her.

Why was she upset?

Because she cared!

If it weren’t for her deep care for Lin Fei, she wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of compiling a “Divorce Agreement.”

Her time as CEO Mu was incredibly precious!

“Enough crying, you’re all grown up.

Even if I am your husband, you shouldn’t ruin my clothes like this.”

As soon as Mu Shanshan’s tears started to fall, Lin Fei, who had pulled her into his embrace, felt that she had cried enough and gently straightened her smooth jade-like shoulders, speaking in a soft voice,

“Next time, don’t do this.

It’s normal for husband and wife to have conflicts.

But no matter what the conflict, ‘divorce’ can’t be used as an excuse to vent.

This time, I can understand it as your caprice.

But next time, I won’t forgive you this easily.”

Seeing Mu Shanshan, the CEO, regain her composure, Lin Fei took a more serious tone and gave her a brief admonishment.

He then took a tissue and wiped away the tear stains from the corners of her eyes.

It all seemed like a dream!

For Ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan, everything that happened in those ten minutes was like a dream.

Even now, Lin Fei, her nominal husband, was tenderly wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, seemed as if lost in a dream.

Despite Lin Fei’s stern words of admonishment, Mu Shanshan, still immersed in the few lines of affectionate words from Lin Fei, almost subconsciously nodded slightly.

“Acknowledging your mistake is good, it’s not late yet, you have to work tomorrow, you should rest early, I’m going back to my room too.”

Gently brushing through his CEO wife Mu Shanshan’s waterfall-like hair, Lin Fei softly comforted her with a couple of sentences and then stepped towards the study’s doorway.

Everything seemed to be unfolding like a script, smooth and natural, even with an undertone of warmth that seemed heaven-sent.

However, just as Lin Fei was about to open the door to step out of the study,

Mu Shanshan, who had been standing sillily still, suddenly spoke up coldly, “Did I say you could leave?!”

The tone continued the icy CEO demeanor characteristic of Mu Shanshan, exceptionally cold.

Indeed, if one listened carefully, they could detect a bone-chilling coldness woven through her words.

With only one sentence, five words, the temperature in the entire study seemed to drop several degrees!

Clearly, Mu Shanshan, who had been coaxed like a young girl by Lin Fei, had reclaimed her icy CEO persona.

“Wife, it’s all in the past now, you wouldn’t still be trying to force me to sign and divorce you, would you?!”

Sensing the CEO wife Mu Shanshan, once again assuming her icy CEO demeanor, Lin Fei didn’t show any signs of panic, instead, he sternly questioned Mu Shanshan.

After all, having spent several years on the mercenary battlefield, Lin Fei still possessed a certain imposing presence when he put on a stern face.

To ordinary people, facing Lin Fei at this moment, their own aura would mostly be compromised, thereby conceding the initiative in the conversation to Lin Fei.

However, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, was clearly no ordinary person.

As the president of Mu Group, who had acquired the Fangxing Group and now held the “evidence” of her nominal husband’s guilt in her hands, how could she possibly be at a disadvantage beneath Lin Fei’s imposing pressure?

“I indeed never really considered divorcing you, and for that, I apologize to you.”

Rip!

Her world-class beauty still bore traces of tears, but this did not diminish her icy CEO aura.

Nonchalantly grabbing the “Divorce Agreement” she had drafted, she tore it up and threw it into the wastebasket.

By tearing up the “Divorce Agreement”, Mu Shanshan’s icy CEO aura ascended once more.

The entire second-floor study seemed to be enveloped in her powerful icy aura.

“Old husband and wife, no need to apologize, that’s estranged.

Between us as husband and wife, no matter who makes a mistake, I don’t think there’s a need to apologize.

United as one, I know, wife, you must think the same.

If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first—”

Seeing that his CEO wife Mu Shanshan intended to hold him to account, Lin Fei made an excuse, intending to escape the situation, however, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, clearly had no intention of letting him leave the study easily.

“Since you also agree on the point of unity between husband and wife, you surely wouldn’t mind telling me the story behind this photograph.”

As her words ended, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, holding the photograph she had found on her desk with delicate yet pallid fingers, presented it to Lin Fei.

The photograph was ordinary, but to Lin Fei, it instantly soaked his back with cold sweat!

The background of the photograph was a corner of Zhonghai’s Puning International Airport.

And the male and female protagonists in the picture were he and—Xue Mei…
