Chapter 465 - 465 465 Can't Say No to the President Husband

465: Chapter 465: Can’t Say No to the President Husband 465: Chapter 465: Can’t Say No to the President Husband At noon, Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were at the Purple Garden Pavilion.

On the first floor, in the living room!

Disturbed by the doorbell and her not-for-real husband Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan clattered down the stairs from the main bedroom on the second floor in her crystal sandals.

When she reached the living room and saw Cao Zian and Shen Xuan following Lin Fei’s lead into the villa, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, spoke almost as a reflex.

“Director Cao, Xiao Xuan, how come you—”

Her words stopped mid-sentence as the groggy sleepiness lifted, and Mu Shanshan’s mind cleared.

She immediately turned to look at the electronic clock on the living room wall.

Seeing that it was already twelve o’clock, Mu Shanshan, sharp as she always was, realized immediately the crux of the problem.

“Lin Fei, it’s so late, you—”

“What about me?

Am I not just considering your health?

With such a serious fever, what going to work are you talking about?

Is work more important than your health?!

Even if you don’t care about your own life, shouldn’t you at least consider our—future child?”

Before Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, could open her mouth, Lin Fei interrupted her to prevent her, out of a momentary anger, from blurting something out in front of Cao Zian and Shen Xuan.

Although Lin Fei didn’t particularly care what Cao Zian and Shen Xuan thought about his relationship with his wife, the icy CEO Mu Shanshan,

if they found out it was because he wanted to sleep in with Mu Shanshan, which caused her to be late for work, Lin Fei’s image would be completely destroyed in the eyes of Cao Zian and Shen Xuan.

Not that he had much of an image to start with.

But since everyone worked at the same company and saw each other often, saving whatever face he could was still better.

Of course, more importantly, Lin Fei was also considering Mu Shanshan, and not just worried about his own reputation.

If Cao Zian and Shen Xuan found out that the reason Mu Shanshan didn’t go to work was that she overslept,

this would undoubtedly be a significant blow to the CEO’s image.

Therefore, he crafted a story that she was sick and he intentionally kept her from going to work.

This would not only explain why Mu Shanshan didn’t begrudgingly head to the office, but it would also build up a caring husband’s image in the minds of Cao Zian and Shen Xuan.

Why not do it?

“Hmmph, I can take care of my own body, no need for you to worry!

You making me miss work is just wrong!”

Mu Shanshan, who received a meaningful glance from her bargain husband Lin Fei, was clever enough to immediately realize the key to his behavior.

However dissatisfied she was at heart, for her own sake and Lin Fei’s image, she had to hold back her thunderous rage and go along with him in “covering up” the lie.

Of course, covering up was one thing, the anger in Mu Shanshan’s words was still completely heartfelt.

She always considered expanding Mu Group her life’s mission, wishing she could devote her whole heart to the company’s business.

Yet ever since Lin Fei, that bargain husband, moved into the Purple Garden Pavilion, rather than helping her grow the company, he often caused trouble for her.

Now, he had even made her miss work and let her subordinates come to her house to find her!

How could this make her, the mighty CEO, feel?!

“Even if I was wrong, it was for your best interest.

What are you still standing there for, not quickly coming to sit down?”

How could Lin Fei not know the anger that Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, held in her heart against him?

Even though he was aware of it, he obviously didn’t care.

Having Shen Xuan and Cao Zian, outsiders, there was one reason.

More importantly, Lin Fei genuinely didn’t think he was at fault.

What’s wrong with sleeping in with his wife?

So what if it accidentally made her miss work?

Clearly, that was not something Lin Fei considered important.

He never cared about such things at work, much less at home.

It was also because Mu Shanshan, his wife, was too focused on her career, and there were many younger girls at Mu Group who caught Lin Fei’s attention.

If it weren’t for these reasons, Lin Fei would have even thought about selling Mu Group.

…

“I’m really very sorry for making you both take this trip.

It’s my fault, and I was worried that Shanshan had overstretched herself.

That’s why I forgot to give you a call.

I hope you can understand and not hold any grudges.

When you return to the company, please explain the situation about Shanshan being late today.

Both she and I will be very grateful,” said Lin Fei after he made his CEO wife sit down, admitting his “mistake” and helping to “clean up” after her.

Of course, Lin Fei’s main aim was to eliminate any ill feeling that he had caused by making his CEO wife oversleep and miss work.

“Vice—Director Lin is right.

Actually, we were also worried about CEO Mu and came specifically on behalf of our colleagues to visit.

Since we were anxious, we came in a hurry and didn’t bring anything.

We hope Director Lin and CEO Mu will forgive us,” said Cao Zian and Shen Xuan.

“That’s right, what Director Cao said.

Please, Director Lin, forgive us.

And CEO Mu, you must take good care of yourself.

The company can go on without any of us, but it cannot be without you,” added Shen Xuan.

Both Cao Zian, the head of the Security Department, who could be considered Lin Fei’s immediate superior, and Shen Xuan, Mu Shanshan’s personal secretary, nodded hurriedly in agreement upon understanding the relationship between Lin Fei and the icy CEO Mu Shanshan.

In fact, the change in their address towards Lin Fei revealed the shift in their attitude towards him.

Both had witnessed the scene where Lin Fei scolded his CEO wife.

Knowing how much they usually respected and even slightly feared Mu Shanshan, they naturally agreed wholeheartedly with everything Lin Fei said.

With the “CEO’s husband” having spoken and wishing to continue working at Mu Group, both Cao Zian and Shen Xuan would naturally not dare to disagree with Lin Fei… unless they were out of their minds.
