Chapter 636: Chapter 638: The matter of having children must be decided by the Goddess Mu.

Night.

At the Purple Garden Pavilion where Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan were.

Lin Fei was lost in a daze.

Originally worried that Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, was being harassed by a group of special forces soldiers who had suddenly barged into the Purple Garden Pavilion, Lin Fei instinctively went to her side.

After sending those three military officers flying, and before he could fully recover from the middle-aged officer’s apology, Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, suddenly shoved a satellite phone into his hand.

It was her cheap father-in-law, Mu Hong, calling him.

Lin Fei couldn’t help but be stunned.

Fortunately, Lin Fei had a strong mentality. Once he confirmed from Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO herself, that the call was indeed from his disappeared cheap father-in-law Mu Hong, who had been gone for over half a year.

Lin Fei silently took the satellite phone and walked to a corner.

“Dad?”

After Lin Fei hesitantly called out.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Then, a cold laugh came through.

“Hmph! I don’t dare accept that title! Lan Auntie told me that after I made you move in to live with Shanshan, you still often stay out all night?”

“About that—”

“What about it! Do you think you are still unmarried, or are you dissatisfied with Shanshan? Or is it that you are unhappy with me, the elder, for forcing you to marry Shanshan?!”

Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have answered the call!

He had thought that suddenly receiving a call from his cheap father-in-law Mu Hong might be something good. But, to think that after just three words, he would invite such scolding from Mu Hong, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Lin Fei felt exhausted.

In the middle of the night, he had been worried about his wife for so long. It wasn’t easy to get her safe and unharmed, and before he could catch his breath, he was being scolded over the phone by his father-in-law.

Lin Fei felt he had unspeakable misery!

“Hey, you little brat! What’s the meaning of not speaking? You wouldn’t really be dissatisfied with me for having you marry Shanshan, would you?!”

Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law, pushed the conversation to this point. If Lin Fei maintained his silence, a family conflict was clearly unavoidable.

Hence, after Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law finished speaking.

Lin Fei hurriedly spoke calmly in response, “Dad, you’ve misunderstood. It’s my honor to have married Shanshan, and I’m very happy. I have absolutely no dissatisfaction with Shanshan or with you.”

“So, after talking for so long, you still don’t want to answer me directly. Why, after you moved in to live with Shanshan, do you still frequently stay out all night?”

“Dad, you know that when Shanshan and I got married, it was a bit rushed. So, our emotional life right now is somewhat complicated. Once Shanshan and I have sorted things out, between us—”

“All excuses!”

A cold voice interrupted Lin Fei’s argument. On the other end of the phone, Mu Hong fell silent for several seconds, sighed, and then spoke again, “Let it be. You’re all adults now, and I am willing to trust that you can manage your personal relationships.”

“Still, the adage ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’ is not lost on me. However, you are now married to Shanshan. As her husband, you should be conscious of your responsibilities. Moreover, you must shoulder the duty to protect and take care of Shanshan! Just like what you did tonight. No matter what dangers or difficulties Shanshan may face in the future, I hope you can stand by her side, share the burden, and see her through.”

After Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law, finished speaking, Lin Feihu’s eyes narrowed slightly, with a glint of sharpness fleeting within.

Then, after a few seconds of silence, Lin Fei spoke in a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, Dad, you must be in the Central Continent now?”

Although the tone was questioning, the weight and firmness in his tiger eyes clearly reflected that Lin Fei had confirmed that Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law, was indeed in the Central Continent!

Receiving a call from Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law, so abruptly late at night, Lin Fei was naturally quite puzzled. Thinking back to the earlier conversation between that middle-aged military officer and Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, and his proactive apology.

And considering the somewhat melancholic and remorseful tone of Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law, how could Lin Fei not guess?

This had been the second attempt in just a few days to attack and kidnap Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, by mercenaries from the Central Continent. And it all started because of Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law!

Lin Fei certainly had quite a few enemies in the Central Continent! But even if those enemies knew about Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, most probably wouldn’t stoop so low as to send people to kidnap her.

Most importantly, those enemies of Lin Fei, if they wanted to kidnap Shanshan, would clearly not resort to using such low-grade mercenaries.

Moreover, Vulture, the head of Hell’s Judgement Organization in the Central Continent region, was obviously not an easy opponent.

If there really were old enemies of Lin Fei who wanted to harm him or Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, then it was very unlikely that Vulture would not have heard even a whisper of it.

And Shanshan herself had never even been to the Central Continent!

Considering all this, and the fact that Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law, had been missing for more than half a year, and then suddenly called tonight, Lin Fei was certain!

Those mercenaries who wanted to kidnap Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, originated from Mu Hong!

…

After Lin Fei’s inquiry, Mu Hong, who had remained silent for a long time on the other end, spoke with a sigh that sounded almost pleased, “Having a son like you, Xuanran, my brother, would have no regrets in death.”

As Mu Hong finished speaking, Lin Fei fell silent for a moment, a hint of sorrow flashing across his eyes.

The Xuanran that Mu Hong mentioned was named Lin Xuanran.

Lin Xuanran, Mu Hong’s old comrade-in-arms!

Lin Fei’s — father!

“I heard about your arrangements to protect Shanshan. Well done, like father, like son! When we found you abroad and brought you back to marry Shanshan, it was partly because of my guilt towards your father. Now, it seems that both Shanshan and I have found a treasure. Good, good, Lin Xuanran and his wife would be proud to have such a fine son!”

Discovering that Lin Fei was not as incompetent as he had imagined, Mu Hong was clearly very pleased, to the point that his hearty laughter was almost painful for Lin Fei’s eardrums.

“Since you have the ability to protect Shanshan, I will now officially entrust her to you! Should anything happen to Shanshan in the future, don’t blame me for holding you accountable! Also, now that you and Shanshan are living together, you must hurry up with having children. I believe, not just me, but if Xuanran, my brother, were still alive, he would surely yearn for a precious grandson as well. No, one is not enough. The Mu family cannot end with her. Lin Fei, listen well, you must now hurry up and have children. One is not enough, you must have at least two! And one of them must be—”

“Dad, I can’t decide this matter on my own, you should talk to Shanshan instead.”

Lin Fei, feeling stifled and helpless inside, directly interrupted what Mu Hong, his cheap father-in-law on the phone, was saying, and walked towards Shanshan, the iceberg CEO…
