Chapter 552 - 552 552 Accompanying My Wife for a Prenatal Checkup

552: Chapter 552 Accompanying My Wife for a Prenatal Checkup 552: Chapter 552 Accompanying My Wife for a Prenatal Checkup It was nearing noon.

At the top floor of Moongaze Building, in the large conference room of Mu Group.

“Come and go as you please, Vice Minister Lin, what do you think this company is?!”

As Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, slammed the table and reprimanded Lin Fei, the already rather silent meeting room seemed to be invaded by the cold air of Siberia.

The silence carried an eerie chill that quietly circulated within the vast conference space.

It wasn’t only the senior executives of Mu Group who were startled by Mu Shanshan’s sudden outburst.

Lin Fei, the husband of this Ice Queen CEO, had also been given quite a fright.

Although he had already noticed from the cold, hostile gaze directed at him by his wife earlier that she was indeed angry with him,

Lin Fei had certainly not expected that a few seemingly wrong words would provoke his CEO wife to slam the table in front of so many people!

In the over half a year they had been married, it wasn’t that there had been no arguments between them.

Given the unconventional nature of their loveless marriage, and Mu Shanshan’s inherently cold personality, it was fair to say that there had been no shortage of conflicts between the couple.

Especially right after they got married, when Mu Shanshan would have wished for Lin Fei to disappear forever from her life.

However, they had somehow managed to stumble through together.

As Lin Fei, following the directions of Mu Hong, moved into Purple Garden Pavilion and started living with Mu Shanshan, the relationship between the couple had considerably warmed up.

Though they were not yet at the point of loving each other madly, obviously there was a certain fondness between them.

This was exactly why, even though after living together they had their fair share of arguments and cold wars,

compared to the initial disdain upon first getting married, both consciously kept their quarrels and silent treatments within a reasonable range that was acceptable to both.

Incidents like this, where Mu Shanshan would slam the table and reprimand him in front of numerous Mu Group executives, Lin Fei had never imagined before entering the meeting room.

Based on this, after Mu Shanshan’s outcry, Lin Fei had a rare moment of being flabbergasted and dumbstruck.

Mu Shanshan herself was also momentarily stunned.

Caught up in anger, she had subconsciously treated the conference room as if it were Purple Garden Pavilion.

In short, when she slapped the table and scolded Lin Fei, in her eyes as the CEO of Mu, the huge meeting room with almost thirty Mu Group executives simply did not exist.

In the eyes of Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, there was clearly only Lin Fei, her nominal husband.

The saying “concerned chaos” might explain the situation.

Although Mu Shanshan was usually extremely calm, especially in dealing with certain business issues, brainy to a terrifying extent, and cool-headed to the point of being exasperating,

she was, after all, just a woman.

A woman who had married, and was gradually finding herself liking her own husband.

Being a woman, it’s no wonder that Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, would lose her composure over Lin Fei, her husband in name.

In matters of the heart, no matter how strong and rational a woman may be, she ultimately follows her feelings more than her reason.

Just like Mu Shanshan at that moment, in her anger towards Lin Fei, she had even forgotten that she was presiding over a high-level company meeting.

Once she came back to her senses, she herself didn’t quite know what to do.

If it were any other executive of Mu Group in Lin Fei’s place, Mu Shanshan certainly wouldn’t be in such a quandary.

After all, it was her own husband, and a private scolding mattered little, easily attributed to a spouses’ quarrel.

But when she lost her temper with Lin Fei, her husband in name, in front of many Mu Group executives, the implications were clearly different.

Although, at the company, Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen president, was Lin Fei’s superior.

However, the two were already married, regardless of what status Mu Shanshan held in the company, it obviously couldn’t change the established fact that she was Lin Fei’s wife.

Scolding one’s husband, however it’s done in private is acceptable.

But once it’s brought to the public eye, no matter what mistakes Lin Fei, the husband in name, made, even if he did something to wrong her, Mu Shanshan, as his wife, obviously loses the moral high ground.

To put it nicely, Mu Shanshan’s behavior of publicly scolding her husband could be called irrational.

To put it harshly, it’s simply unbecoming of a wife.

As a woman who was rather traditional at heart, Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen president, realized that she was in the wrong.

But after all, she was the company’s president, Lin Fei’s superior.

Once the words were out, they obviously couldn’t be taken back in front of the many Mu Group executives.

Thus, Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen president, truly felt like she couldn’t back down.

Fortunately, she was used to controlling the situation and had excellent emotional regulation skills.

Taking a few deep breaths without showing any signs, Mu Shanshan quickly calmed down and then her clear eyes fixed on Lin Fei, who was still standing there, “I’m asking you a question, speak up!”

Startled by his CEO wife’s sharp command, Lin Fei, somewhat dazed, almost subconsciously retorted, “What should I say?”

Mu Shanshan, who had some lingering feelings that she shouldn’t have publicly scolded Lin Fei, her husband in name, became immediately dissatisfied upon hearing his foolish question.

She had been tangled and distressed for so long, only to find that Lin Fei, her husband in name, hadn’t listened to a word she said.

What a waste of emotions!

“Vice Minister Lin, are you listening to me at all?!”

“Yes.”

“Then tell me, what do you take the company for?!” As she spoke, Mu Shanshan’s originally softened gaze involuntarily turned cold again.

Clearly, she was reminded of Lin Fei’s everyday behavior at the company.

Having thought of this, Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen president, was somewhat inspired to take this opportunity to vent her anger and correct some of Lin Fei’s attitudes toward his work, so he wouldn’t always run into the conference room when he had nothing better to do and sing an opposing tune.

“In my heart, the company has always been my home.”

“So, you come and go as you please?!”

“Of course not.

I go wherever the company needs me.”

“Then tell me, why didn’t you come to the company yesterday?!” Mu Shanshan, the ice-queen president, clearly minded that Lin Fei, her husband in name, was absent from work during the day and didn’t return home at night!

“I got held up by some personal matters yesterday.”

“What personal matters?!”

“That, can I not say?”

“If you want to be fired!”

“I still feel it’s safer to report it privately to President Mu.”

“I order you to say it!”

“You’re asking me to say it, President Mu.”

“Hurry up and say it!”

Seeing Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, pressing him, Lin Fei simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “My wife is pregnant, I accompanied her to the hospital for a prenatal checkup yesterday.”
