517: Chapter 517: The Trouble Caused by Two Good Cigarettes 517: Chapter 517: The Trouble Caused by Two Good Cigarettes It was just past seven in the morning at the Purple Garden Pavilion.

First floor dining room.

Lin Fei, sitting across from his wife Mu Shanshan—the icy CEO—looked a bit disheveled.

“Sigh—”

Lin Fei, half-heartedly spooning sugared lotus seed porridge into his mouth, glanced at Mu Shanshan, sitting opposite him with her stunningly beautiful and exceptionally cold expression, and he couldn’t help but let out another long sigh.

It was, after all, the twenty-eighth sigh since Lin Fei had come downstairs.

“Son-in-law, is it that today’s breakfast doesn’t agree with your stomach?

If not, there’s still time for me to remake it for you.”

Lan auntie, sitting next to Mu Shanshan and eating, noticed Lin Fei’s repeated sighs while eating.

Misunderstanding the situation, she thought her breakfast preparation might not have suited Lin Fei’s tastes.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan auntie attempted to rise to go back to the kitchen to make a new breakfast for Lin Fei.

“Lan auntie, never mind him, let him eat it or not.”

Just as Lan auntie was about to get up, the perpetually silent Mu Shanshan grabbed Lan auntie’s sleeve, instantly vetoing her idea of going to the kitchen to remake Lin Fei’s breakfast.

Concurrently, she threw a cold look at Lin Fei.

Initially, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, didn’t even want Lin Fei to have breakfast.

Since he couldn’t eat anyway, why would Mu Shanshan allow Lan auntie to especially prepare breakfast anew for Lin Fei?

Coming to her chamber early in the morning, taking liberties with her, and still thinking about special treats?!

Unless the sun were to rise from the west.

“Miss, since the gentleman doesn’t like it, let me redo it for him.

Anyway, there’s still time; it won’t delay your work.”

“It’s getting late, I have finished eating, and I am leaving for the office now.”

Saying this, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, promptly put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked upstairs, clearly intending to grab her bag and car keys to head to the office.

“Sigh, Miss really, we’re a family sitting together having a good breakfast, how could she suddenly become angry?” Lan auntie watched the direction Mu Shanshan left in and shook her head with a sigh.

Then she gathered herself and smiled at Lin Fei, “Son-in-law, you know how it is with her temper.

I mentioned it to you before, her mood today isn’t necessarily against you.

So, please don’t take it to heart.

Whatever you want to eat, I will make it now.”

“Forget it, Lan auntie, you misunderstood; my sighing isn’t because the food didn’t suit my stomach.

It’s because—well, because of some other things.

Just leave it alone; I’ll handle it myself.”

Lin Fei, realizing Lan auntie’s misunderstanding, explained while quickly taking a few gulps of sugared lotus seed porridge, showing it wasn’t because the breakfast didn’t suit his taste.

Then, catching up with the sounds of the CEO wife Mu Shanshan walking downstairs, Lin Fei casually called out to Lan auntie and followed Mu Shanshan out of the villa.

“Wife, I’ve got an urgent matter at the office.

If you don’t mind, I’d like to ride along with you.”

Outside the Villa, Lin Fei, who wanted to go to the office in the same car with his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, didn’t wait for her affirmative reply; to prevent being left behind, as she reached for her BMW keys to unlock the car, Lin Fei darted into the car first.

Bang!

“Get out of the car!”

Mu Shanshan, who followed him into the car, slammed the door shut and seated herself in the driver’s seat, her voice cold as she commanded Lin Fei to get out of the car.

“Kicking your husband out of the car surely requires a valid reason.”

“Do I need to recount to you again what despicable acts you committed in my bedroom?!”

“Uh—actually, that was a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?!”

“Yes, a misunderstanding.”

“If you were me, would you believe it?!”

“I know, because of some of my past actions, wife, you have quite a prejudice against me.

But this time, I swear I just wanted to hug you at first.”

“Did I agree to your hug?!”

“It seems the law doesn’t specify that a husband can’t hug his wife.”

“I—”

Despite wanting to refute Lin Fei because of their marital relationship, Shanshan felt powerless.

She wanted to scold Lin Fei for his intimate gesture in her bedroom after embracing her.

But because of her feminine modesty, Shanshan was too embarrassed to speak up.

She simply didn’t bother with Lin Fei anymore.

Boom!

Annoyed and left speechless by Lin Fei, Shanshan furiously left her cheap husband with a cold glare and started the car, driving away from the Purple Garden Pavilion.

…

“I think, maybe you can explain to me the origin of these two packs of cigarettes.”

Inside Shanshan’s BMW, Shanshan, who initially didn’t want to deal with Lin Fei, glanced unintentionally at the two additional packs of premium cigarettes in the car.

Her naturally cold beauty turned even frostier!

The added coldness of this ice queen CEO wasn’t because of the two packs of cigarettes found in her BMW.

Although she doesn’t smoke and despises the smell of cigarettes, she had tried unsuccessfully several times to persuade Lin Fei not to smoke in front of her since their marriage.

As a result, this ice queen CEO had tacitly maintained her silence towards Lin Fei smoking in her office and car.

After all, it’s quite normal, even necessary, for men to smoke on certain occasions.

However, Shanshan vividly remembered.

More than a month ago, she had economically sanctioned her cheap husband, Lin Fei.

Given the daily pocket money he received from her, it was impossible for him to have the financial means to buy these two packs of premium cigarettes.

Unless Lin Fei had—hidden savings.

At that thought, the ice queen CEO genuinely felt the urge to stop the car, drag Lin Fei to a corner, search him, and interrogate him sternly.

They hadn’t even consummated their marriage, and he dared to keep private savings.

If they did, could she even go on living this life!

“Do you want the truth?”

“You could try lying!”

“Xue’er has a friend who’s a flight attendant and recently lost her job.

Hearing that you’re starting a helicopter leasing company, she came to me.

She gave me these two packs of cigarettes, hoping I could put in a good word for her, so she could land the job.

That’s really all there is to it.

If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xue’er.”

After hearing Lin Fei’s explanation and learning that he wasn’t hiding private savings from her, Shanshan’s aloof demeanor softened slightly.

Still, she was reluctant to let go of this rare opportunity to confront Lin Fei, especially recalling how he came home last night reeking of women’s perfume, drunk.

The ice queen CEO then coldly snorted, “Xue’er, you sound quite close?!.”

After Shanshan’s cold remark, Lin Fei paused thoughtfully, then turned to face her, adopting a more serious tone.

“Actually, I just want to be close to my wife.”

As Lin Fei spoke, Shanshan’s exceedingly cold demeanor froze…
