457: Chapter 457: Mu Shanshan Relents on the Wedding Chamber Issue 457: Chapter 457: Mu Shanshan Relents on the Wedding Chamber Issue Night at the Purple Garden Pavilion mansion.

Unlike Su Qinglan, the enchanting Chairwoman, who sneaked home at night with utmost caution.

Lin Fei, accustomed to coming home late or even spending nights out elsewhere, hardly sneaked in.

While not exactly swaggering into the mansion, he also didn’t make any effort to conceal the sound of his entrance.

Lin Fei, who experienced immense satisfaction with Su Qinglan, the enchanting Chairwoman, felt refreshingly at ease in both body and mind.

If not for the fact that in the end, Su Qinglan fled and got dressed, Lin Fei would probably not be in a hurry to return to the Purple Garden Pavilion tonight.

Lin Fei, still harboring lingering thoughts and somewhat reluctant, was returning to the Purple Garden Pavilion.

In such a situation, Lin Fei naturally didn’t bother to tiptoe, so as not to disturb his wife, CEO Mu Shanshan, and their housemaid, Aunty Lan.

Until he entered the mansion and saw Mu Shanshan sitting on the living room sofa, idly flipping through channels with the remote control.

Lin Fei couldn’t help but be taken aback!

Having lived together for some time now, Lin Fei was quite familiar with some of CEO Mu Shanshan’s temperament and personal preferences.

If not thoroughly versed, he at least knew a thing or two.

Take watching TV, for instance, Lin Fei knew very well that CEO Mu Shanshan hardly ever watched television.

The woman was busy with work all day, that was one thing.

But more so, CEO Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen, simply — had no love for television.

Lin Fei, who knew well that his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, had no fondness for watching TV, could easily discern.

Mu Shanshan seemed to be watching TV, but in reality — she was waiting for him!

Feeling guilty, Lin Fei held the belief that an early death was the same as a late one.

After regaining his composure, he didn’t attempt to avoid CEO Mu Shanshan.

Instead, he directly walked to the sofa and sat beside CEO Mu Shanshan, then tentatively asked, “Wife, it’s so late.

Haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

“I just wanted to wait and see if you would call me if you didn’t come back tonight,” Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen CEO, replied without much emotion in her cold, beautiful eyes as she turned away from the television screen to look at Lin Fei.

“Not too bad, at least you know to come home.”

Having said that, Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen CEO, didn’t pay much attention to Lin Fei.

She turned her head away and her cool eyes once again fixed on the TV screen.

Mu Shanshan didn’t show much reproach towards him.

Lin Fei wasn’t quite sure what his CEO wife intended or how she planned to deal with him, so he dared not speak recklessly.

For a moment, the atmosphere between them was even awkward!

“Wife, it’s indeed my fault for coming back late.

Just say what you want to say.

If you don’t speak up, I’m going to go upstairs and sleep.”

After a silence, feeling rather uneasy, Lin Fei didn’t want to continue sitting like a sitting duck and couldn’t help but take the initiative to speak.

As Lin Fei finished speaking, Mu Shanshan, who had been silent and intently staring at the TV screen, continued to stay silent for two or three seconds before speaking up again coldly, “Look at the clock, what time is it?”

Confused, Lin Fei turned his head and glanced at the electronic clock hanging on the living room wall and instinctively responded to his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, “It’s five minutes to midnight.

It’s so late, and you must be tired from working all day at the company, wife.

Why don’t we go upstairs and sleep, and whatever needs discussing, we can talk about it tomorrow?”

It had to be said that Lin Fei knew exactly how to seize an opportunity to alleviate, or even absolve, his own accountability.

Unfortunately, he was facing Mu Shanshan, who had been waiting for him in the living room for several hours.

Naturally cold and in charge of the enormous Mu Group, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, was hardly going to let Lin Fei get away with a few words.

“Fine, since it hasn’t passed midnight yet.

You will sleep on the sofa tonight.”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he turned his head and took another glance at the electronic clock on the living room wall.

Confirming that Lin Fei, her cheap husband, hadn’t lied to her, Mu Shanshan then delivered the verdict she’d been brewing for hours as she waited for Lin Fei.

“It’s right that I should sleep on the sofa since I came back late.

It’s getting late, wife, and there’s no need for you to wait up any longer.

Hurry upstairs and go to sleep.”

Lin Fei, who had thought that his CEO wife Mu Shanshan wouldn’t easily let him off the hook for waiting up so late in the living room, was relieved when it seemed that the woman simply wanted him to sleep on the sofa.

He showed no dissatisfaction with Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, for her verdict on his sleeping arrangements.

On the contrary, while responding to his CEO wife Mu Shanshan, he took the remote control out of the woman’s hand and turned off the TV.

Mu Shanshan, whose remote control was taken by Lin Fei and had her TV turned off, did not show much dissatisfaction on her exceptionally beautiful face.

Instead, she nodded slightly at Lin Fei, then stood up and headed straight upstairs.

Seeing that his CEO wife Mu Shanshan was actually following his suggestion and going upstairs, Lin Fei, who had been somewhat worried that the woman might change her mind, completely let his guard down.

However, Lin Fei clearly underestimated Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

His hours-long wait and the resulting dissatisfaction and resentment were not to be taken lightly.

After stepping onto the stairs and walking only a few steps, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, stopped, turned her head, and spoke to Lin Fei again with an unmistakable chill.

“In the hours I’ve been waiting for you, I’ve had some thoughts.

We’ve been living together for quite a while, and I can’t just let you off the hook all the time.

From now on, if you can’t get home by eight in the evening, if you make it back before midnight, you’ll sleep on the sofa.

If you come back after midnight, don’t even bother coming in; just sleep outside!”

After she finished speaking, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, showed no intention of engaging further with Lin Fei and turned her head to continue upstairs without looking back.

This woman did not seem to be joking; rather, she appeared to be issuing him an ultimatum!

Lin Fei, who was quite familiar with his CEO wife Mu Shanshan’s temperament, sensed a firm decisiveness in her words.

He thought to himself that if he had remained silent for just a few more minutes…

Right now, he feared he would be sleeping outside at the behest of his CEO wife Mu Shanshan.

While he felt fortunate, the thought of her decision for his future late returns weighed heavily on his heart.

“You only mentioned your decision about my late returns.

If I make it back before eight in the evening, does that mean I can sleep with you in my arms?”

Lin Fei, who did not want to be turned out by his wife for returning home late in the future, saw that Mu Shanshan’s graceful silhouette was about to vanish on the stairwell.

Lin Fei hurriedly spoke out, using his tried-and-true “bridal chamber tactic” to counter Mu Shanshan.

“If, one day, your private life is no longer so chaotic, I’ll consider it.”

Lin Fei’s reliably effective “bridal chamber tactic” undoubtedly failed this time.

Faced with Lin Fei’s appeal to sleep with her, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, unexpectedly showed signs of softening for the first time…
