467: Chapter 467 Shen Xuan Wants to Cry but Has No Tears 467: Chapter 467 Shen Xuan Wants to Cry but Has No Tears At noon, Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were at the Purple Garden Pavilion villa.

The first-floor living room.

The normally tidy living room was somewhat in disarray because of an outburst from Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO, directed towards Lin Fei.

Of course, this was also not without Lin Fei’s refusal to just take it lying down, resulting in his own “contribution” by misbehaving towards his CEO wife.

Eventually, both had ceased their quarrel.

It was not because Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO, had cooled down, or because Lin Fei was satisfied with taking advantage.

Rather, both felt that Aunt Lan should be returning soon.

They did not want her to see their mess in the living room and end up getting scolded by her.

Of course, the main reason was that both were somewhat hungry.

“We should divide the tasks; I’ll cook, you clean up the living room.

This way, by the time you’ve tidied up the living room, we should be ready to eat.”

“No way!”

Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO, coldly rejected Lin Fei’s cheap husband’s suggestion to share the chores without a second thought.

What a joke, she was the CEO of Mu Group, a celebrated business goddess in Zhonghai.

Doing household chores was certainly not her cup of tea.

“If not, then you must cook while I tidy up the living room.

I advise you to think it over, which is more suited for you.”

“You start cooking, then come clean the living room!”

“Mu Shanshan, you’d better not be too wildly imaginative!”

At the company, due to Mu Shanshan’s CEO privilege and her almost constantly aloof CEO demeanor,

Lin Fei might still harbor some respect for his CEO wife.

But at home, where it was just him and Mu Shanshan, he was clearly not about to indulge his CEO wife as much.

Lin Fei was only accommodating because Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO, did not know how to cook.

Otherwise, Lin Fei would hardly bother with any talk of sharing duties with his CEO wife.

Thinking of himself, Lin Da Guanren, who was also a key figure in Hell’s Judgement Organization, during his time abroad, there were countless women who wanted to take care of him.

Even back in Zhonghai, there were clearly a few women who wanted to serve him.

Of course, this was not something appropriate to mention to his CEO wife.

“If it weren’t for you, would I have been late for work?!

If it weren’t for you, would Shen Xuan and Minister Cao have come knocking?!

If it wasn’t for you, would I still not be having my meal?!”

Lin Fei was angry, but Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO, was visibly even more furious!

With three consecutive rebukes, Mu Shanshan definitely dominated the confrontation in terms of vigor, gaining a clear upper hand.

“You will cook, and you will clean up the living room!

I am going to take a shower now, and if the food isn’t ready by the time I’m done, and it delays my going to the office, then don’t you ever think about setting foot in my bedroom again!”

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

After scolding, warning, and threatening Lin Fei, her cheap husband, Mu Shanshan, with a bit of her arrogant nature, cast a threatening cold glare at Lin Fei and then gracefully ascended the staircase with her legs.

“I must say, Mu Shanshan’s threats as the Ice Queen CEO still hold some deterrence for Lin Fei.”

Especially after the delightful time they had spent together as a married couple all morning.

Lin Fei really didn’t dare risk being banned from the bedroom and forced to clean up the living room.

At this moment, Mu Shanshan, already ascending the stairs.

Seeing the seemingly threatened posture of her makeshift husband, Lin Fei, she couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of smugness.

After all, deep down, she had a fondness and even some affection for her makeshift husband, Lin Fei.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have half-heartedly let him hold her in his arms all morning.

If Lin Fei obediently listened to her at home and at the office, and she was in a good mood one day, she might actually let Lin Fei, her makeshift husband, hold her while sleeping at night.

Of course, that’s provided he didn’t do certain “naughty” things.

And, as Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, ascended with a faint smile dancing on her lips and fantasized about training Lin Fei, her makeshift husband into full submission,

The cheap words of her makeshift husband, Lin Fei, reached her ears, and she was instantly annoyed.

“My dear Shanshan wife, I advise you to shower quickly.

If I finish cooking and you haven’t showered yet, I might just come up and join you.”

“You dare come up, and you’re dead!”

Despite inwardly cursing Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

Clearly, the implied threat of Lin Fei, her makeshift husband, wanting to join her in the shower after cooking, made the usually unflappable CEO somewhat nervous.

…

“I knew it, Mrs.

Mu wouldn’t just miss work for no reason.

With those words from you, Xuanxuan, I think I can take a break.”

“It’s not just you who can take a break, we all can.

This morning has been exhausting.”

“Exactly, thankfully Mrs.

Mu just overslept because of a fever.

If something serious had happened to Mrs.

Mu and she couldn’t come to the office for weeks, we would’ve been in real trouble.”

Unlike at the Purple Garden Pavilion, where Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan shared a cozy and occasionally contentious marital atmosphere, the situation in the executive secretariat of Mu Group was different after Shen Xuan rushed back and “explained” why Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, hadn’t shown up at the office.

A mix of sighs and emotional exasperations filled the secretariat.

“Alright, cut it down a bit, guys.

If not for Mrs.

Mu, you lot might be being harassed by your bosses elsewhere.”

Some sighed, others expressed emotional sentiments, but there were also those who indirectly spoke well of Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO.

“What you’re saying, we all understand.

We might not say it, but deep down, we’re really grateful to Mrs.

Mu.

Though the work pressure is more because Mrs.

Mu focuses heavily on efficiency, on the whole, being able to work at Mu Group is really a blessing for us.”

“Blessing or not, sometimes I envy Vice Minister Lin.

He comes and goes as he pleases, gets his full salary without worry, and never has to worry about getting chewed out for not performing well.”

“What’s there to envy, being idle all the time.

If I were Mrs.

Mu, I would definitely fire him.

I don’t understand why Mrs.

Mu, who is so principled, would tolerate keeping him in the company.”

Li Anqing, who had been indirectly manipulated by Lin Fei into misspeaking in front of Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, was among those secretaries and assistants who harbored the deepest grudge against Lin Fei.

“Xuanxuan, you have the best relationship with Mrs.

Mu among us.

Remember, talk badly about Lin Fei whenever you have a chance.

The sooner Mrs.

Mu fires him, the better, so he stops taking advantage of us.”

“I—”

Having already understood the spouse relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, Shen Xuan, suddenly entrusted by Li Anqing with such a heavy task, felt an overwhelming sense of distress…
