482: Chapter 482: The One I Love the Most Now—Mu Shanshan (Part 1) 482: Chapter 482: The One I Love the Most Now—Mu Shanshan (Part 1) Night at the Purple Garden Pavilion mansion.

In the lobby of the Crown Hotel, Lin Fei happened to run into his high school classmate Lu Ping, and the words exchanged led him to fall into a state of reminiscence.

Snapped out of it unwittingly by Liu Yu, the extremely attractive personal secretary to Chairman Su Qinglan.

After leaving the Crown Hotel, Lin Fei’s heart pondered over his high school days, those verdant years.

He thought about that first love of his life, which began with a strong kiss from him and shattered with his resolute decision to drop out and enlist.

Unconsciously, step by step, Lin Fei found himself walking back to the Purple Garden Pavilion!

In fact, when Lin Fei exited the Crown Hotel, Liu Yu, the beautiful personal secretary of Chairman Su Qinglan, had attempted to run after him, wanting to offer him a ride.

But Lin Fei had declined without even realizing it.

Thus, he kept walking, completely oblivious, step by step, until he returned to the Purple Garden Pavilion!

During the walk from the Crown Hotel to the Purple Garden Pavilion, Lin Fei was entirely lost in his memories, completely unaware of his surroundings.

Yes, it was true unawareness, entirely instinctual bodily actions.

One could say that Lin Fei’s journey from the Crown Hotel to the Purple Garden Pavilion was purely subconscious!

During this time, if someone had attempted to ambush Lin Fei, there was a very good chance he could have been injured!

Had the assailant been one of those top-tier mercenaries from enemy forces of the Hell’s Judgement Organization abroad, Lin Fei, in this moment, might well have become a dead man!

Abroad, on the mercenary battlefield, Lin Fei was ruthless and iron-blooded, becoming nothing more than a cold, merciless killing machine.

But in the end, he is a man, not a machine!

Humans have emotions.

Lin Fei did too!

Just like those once cozy and verdant years.

Though many years passed, the mere thought could cause unavoidable heartache.

Heartache, a psychological feeling, but when it’s too intense, it can render someone a lifeless zombie.

Much like Lin Fei at this moment.

His entire mind was hollow.

Had he not unintentionally walked back to the Purple Garden Pavilion, which felt very familiar and offered him a sense of home,

he might still be wandering aimlessly in some corner of Zhonghai.

…

“Son-in-law, why are you just getting back now?

The missus called you several times, but you didn’t answer.

We thought that tonight—you might—son-in-law, son-in-law…”

Busy in the living room, Aunt Lan saw Lin Fei enter through the door.

Putting down the vacuum cleaner, Aunt Lan walked up to greet him.

Aunt Lan, who originally wanted to scold Lin Fei a few words on behalf of Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, spoke two sentences before she noticed something off about Lin Fei.

She couldn’t help but call out to him with a hint of worry.

“Aunt Lan, where is Shanshan?”

Hearing Aunt Lan mention Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, Lin Fei’s eyes, which were unusually hollow, began to show traces of affection.

Yet his entire demeanor was somewhat desolate and plaintive.

His voice even seemed to have gone hoarse, sounding exceptionally raspy.

“You didn’t answer after I called you several times.

The young miss had dinner and then went to the study,” replied Aunt Lan casually to Lin Fei, and with noticeable concern, she asked, “Son-in-law, why is your throat hoarse?

Did you run into some trouble?!”

“It’s nothing, Aunt Lan.

It’s getting late; you should rest as well.

I’m going to check on Shanshan.”

The concerned question from Aunt Lan undoubtedly brought more expression to Lin Fei’s unusually hollow eyes.

Forcing a smile for Aunt Lan, Lin Fei responded and started walking towards the study of Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, upstairs.

“Son-in-law, perhaps you shouldn’t go up just yet.

You don’t seem well, why don’t you sit in the living room for a while?

I will call the young miss down for you.”

Seeing that Lin Fei was in a bad mood and hearing his unusually raspy voice, Aunt Lan, concerned, tried to stop him from going upstairs and attempted to have him rest on the living room sofa instead.

“Just going up the stairs; I’m fine, Aunt Lan.

It’s getting late; you should hurry and rest.

I have some matters to discuss with Shanshan; I’ll go up by myself.”

Despite being in such an absent-minded state, Lin Fei managed to walk back to the Purple Garden Pavilion from the Crown Hotel without any issues.

Now that Lin Fei had regained some composure, he certainly wouldn’t be unable to climb a flight of stairs.

Rejecting Aunt Lan’s kind offer, Lin Fei stepped forward and under her slightly anxious gaze, he confidently entered the study on the second floor where Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, was located.

…

In the study on the second floor, Mu Shanshan was busy at the desk in her home clothes.

Hearing the door open, she thought it was Aunt Lan coming up to urge her to go to bed.

“Aunt Lan, you should go to bed first.

I’ve got quite a few things to take care of at the company recently.

Once I’m done with these tasks at hand, I’ll go back to my room.”

Mu Shanshan didn’t turn around as she spoke and didn’t hear the expected reply from Aunt Lan.

Instinctively, she turned her head towards the door.

Snap!

Seeing that it wasn’t Aunt Lan entering her study as she had anticipated, but Lin Fei, her bargain husband, whom she couldn’t reach after several calls, Mu Shanshan felt an immediate surge of anger and snapped the folder she was holding shut.

The anger in her heart rising, Mu Shanshan got up briskly and walked towards Lin Fei, “It’s so late, why are you coming back—”

Before Mu Shanshan, the CEO wife, could finish, Lin Fei suddenly reached out and embraced her.

Then, burying his head in her fragrant hair, he said hoarsely, “Wife, I’ve missed you so much.”

Mu Shanshan had been angry, ready to scold Lin Fei, even intending to send him out to sleep somewhere else for the night.

Suddenly pulled into an embrace by Lin Fei, her bargain husband, Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, was momentarily taken aback.

As she came back to her senses, Mu Shanshan, although touched by Lin Fei’s words “Wife, I miss you,” couldn’t ignore the unanswered calls she had made to him earlier.

The anger in Mu Shanshan’s heart couldn’t help but rise again and instinctively, she wanted to start chastising Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, what’s happened to your throat?

And why have you come back dressed like that?!

I called Chairman Su, and she said you left the hotel in the morning.

Why have you only come back now?!

You didn’t run into trouble on the way, did you?!”

Mu Shanshan initially wanted to give Lin Fei a good scolding.

But, recalling his unusually hoarse voice, his abnormal attire, and his low spirits, her intended tirade inadvertently became a concerned inquiry for her bargain husband…
