Chapter 484 - 484 484 The Self-indulgent Goddess Mu

484: Chapter 484: The Self-indulgent Goddess Mu 484: Chapter 484: The Self-indulgent Goddess Mu The next morning at Purple Garden Pavilion.

At the dining table.

“Wife, it’s Saturday today, you don’t have to go to work at the company, do you?”

With something on his mind, he rose early to accompany his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, for a morning run and took the initiative to serve her a bowl of purple rice porridge.

Lin Fei, trying hard to play the role of an exemplary husband, tentatively inquired with a trace of appeasement in his voice to his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan.

Sitting across from Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, who seemed like a goddess carved from stone, suddenly heard her husband’s guiding question filled with unspoken implications.

With a slight condensation of her cold, aloof eyes, she almost instinctively retorted, “What does my going or not going to the company have to do with you?!”

You couldn’t blame Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, for not considering the personal feelings of her nominal husband.

It was just that she had long developed an almost reflexive wariness towards Lin Fei, her shameful and lazy husband.

However, as the words were on the tip of her tongue, the ice queen CEO, Mu Shanshan, remembered Lin Fei’s seemingly deep confession the night before, for reasons unknown.

At this thought, she promptly held her tongue, but her cold and aloof eyes still betrayed a hint of suspicion.

Although they lived under the same roof and had been married for a while, owing to the somewhat complex nature of their marriage, they mostly did their own thing on Saturdays and Sundays.

In Mu Shanshan’s memory as the ice queen CEO, Lin Fei asking her whether she was going to the company early on a Saturday was rare, though not for the first time.

Hesitant, her cold eyes stared at her cheap husband for several seconds.

Not detecting too much suspicion in Lin Fei’s eyes, Mu Shanshan’s thoughts were suddenly drawn to the last time her husband invited her out on a date.

Although their date had been spoiled somewhat by Lin Fei’s actions, causing some anger, it was after all Mu Shanshan’s first date in her life as the ice queen CEO.

The memory of that date was still fresh in her mind.

Just like before inviting her out, Lin Fei had asked her a similar question, almost as if to please her.

Thinking this way, Mu Shanshan’s gaze on Lin Fei softened unconsciously, and she felt a hint of shyness.

Once again, thinking of Lin Fei’s “deep confession” to her the previous night, Mu Shanshan couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with thoughts.

Unlike the tumult of thoughts in Mu Shanshan’s mind, Lin Fei, simply wanting to know if his CEO wife was going to the company today, became somewhat agitated when he didn’t receive a clear yes or no from her.

“My dear wife Shanshan, just tell me whether you’re going to the company or not.

Your silence, your not saying a word, puts me in a difficult position.”

Lin Fei was truly troubled, as Mu Shanshan’s affirmative or negative response would decide his movements for the next twenty-four hours.

In this case, how could he, Master Lin, remain calm?

Fortunately, Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, had excellent emotional control.

Even though her mind was full of thoughts, and she felt a tinge of shyness, she still managed to suppress them quickly.

With a slight nod of her head, she gave Lin Fei a direct response.

To put it plainly, this seemingly swift nod was, for Mu Shanshan, as significant as a business decision involving vast interests.

Mu Shanshan’s usually cool and outstanding countenance remained unchanged, but the slight trembling of her hand holding the spoon undoubtedly revealed her inner nervousness and unease.

It wasn’t that Mu Shanshan’s psychological quality was poor.

Rather, her thought process was broader.

For Lin Fei, it might just be a matter of nodding or shaking his head.

To put it more broadly, it was simply a question of how to travel.

But for Mu Shanshan, who was picturing the scene of their first date, this was a matter of scheduling another outing!

For the CEO of Mu Group, who had very little experience with romance, going out on a date was an exceptionally big deal!

Unlike the nervous and anxious Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei, who had not even considered the possibility of going out with his CEO wife Mu Shanshan, was overjoyed upon receiving a positive response from her.

He unconsciously slammed his hand on the table.

Smack!

“Fantastic, I was just thinking…

if my wife had to go to the office, I’d drop you off first before going out to eat with them.

Since you’re not going to the office today, that’s even better for me.

Take your time eating, I have a banquet to attend.” Saying so, Lin Fei stood up and strode upstairs to change his clothes and leave.

Mu Shanshan was left behind, stunned and lost in a thousand thoughts.

After a long while, Mu Shanshan regained her composure…

Smack!

The spoon that Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, was holding dropped to the ground as Lin Fei disappeared into the stairwell.

It was a good thing that Lin Fei left quickly; if he’d lingered, that spoon might have made intimate contact with a certain part of his body.

Here was Mu Shanshan, the CEO, weighed down by numerous thoughts, even suppressing embarrassment to nod in agreement to what she viewed as the possibility of a second date with Lin Fei, her opportunistic husband.

Even now, she was considering what to wear for their date, what handbag to carry, whether to link arms with Lin Fei after leaving the house…

Questions like these churned tumultuously in the heart of Mu Shanshan, the frosty CEO.

But now, Lin Fei had left her alone to go upstairs and get changed.

After playing the gallant and inquiring for so long, not only did he not show the slightest intention of inviting her out, he actually made plans to dine with someone else!

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like the CEO of Mu Group was just being overly sentimental.

After all, she was the CEO of Mu Group, a well-known businesswoman in Zhonghai.

How was she supposed to deal with such a situation?

And the one who put her in this embarrassing position was none other than Lin Fei, her opportunistic husband who always grabbed at any chance to win her over, body and soul.

Although, it’s possible that Lin Fei did it unwittingly.

But that was not the point; the point was that right now she, the CEO of Mu Group, was very annoyed…

very annoyed…

The updates might be a bit slow these next few days, please understand…)
