Chapter 639: Chapter 641: Where Will You and Your Sister-In-Law Sleep Tonight?

Mo Country.

Zhonghai.

The afternoon after Mu Shanshan, this iceberg CEO, was attacked by a rogue mercenary from Central Continent.

First Traditional Chinese Hospital’s high-level recuperation ward.

Aunt Lan, whose arm was injured in the rogue mercenary’s raid on Purple Garden Pavilion, was stitched up by the doctor and, through the arrangements of Zhonghai’s municipal government,

was specially placed in the high-level recuperation ward.

“Mr. Gao, you’re really too kind. Just your visit alone satisfies me greatly. And you brought so many things; I really don’t know what to say. Please, have a seat, have a seat.”

Aunt Lan, originally chatting heart-to-heart with Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, was somewhat astonished and flustered as she saw Butcher arrive with a pile of recuperation gifts and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.

“Aunt Lan, you don’t need to be polite with me. You’re the aunt of the boss and sister-in-law, which makes you my Aunt Lan too. It’s only right for me to visit you now that you’re hospitalized.”

As he put down the recuperation products, Butcher smiled and responded to Aunt Lan, and then smiled and greeted Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO.

After some small talk, Lin Fei returned with the food he had bought for Aunt Lan and Mu Shanshan, the CEO.

Butcher gave Lin Fei a meaningful glance, and the two of them made the excuse of stepping out to smoke and left Aunt Lan’s high-level recuperation ward.

“Miss, after last night’s incident, you must have seen it too. Both the son-in-law and this Mr. Gao are no ordinary people. However, it’s also through last night’s events that I’ve come to fully realize the son-in-law truly cares about you, Miss. Now, I somewhat understand why the Chairman insisted on you marrying the son-in-law.”

After Lin Fei and Butcher excused themselves to smoke and left the room, Aunt Lan stared in the direction they departed, murmuring in a tone that sounded both analytical and advisory to Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO.

As one of the first-hand witnesses to last night’s terrifying event, although Aunt Lan had not personally seen Lin Fei’s fierce drive into the villa, she was with Mu Shanshan, hiding in Lin Fei’s bedroom at the time. Aunt Lan naturally heard the conversation between the eight undercover Thorny Rose members protecting Mu Shanshan, the CEO.

From this, Aunt Lan also gained some understanding of the unusual side beneath Lin Fei’s seemingly exhausted appearance.

“Aunt Lan, I understand.”

The words of Aunt Lan might seem ambiguous to outsiders, but Mu Shanshan, the protagonist of last night’s terrifying attack and Lin Fei’s wife, clearly understood.

What Aunt Lan meant was to remind Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, no matter what Lin Fei’s background and past were, he truly cared about her, and that was enough.

Regarding this, had it been at the beginning of her marriage to Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, might not have agreed. However, after going through the trials of last night,

Mu Shanshan, the CEO, was now able to control her emotions and handle her feelings towards Lin Fei, her nominal husband, very well.

“Wife, is there nothing you want to ask me?”

“Ask you what?”

“Like, how I was able to arrange protection for you in advance? Or why I—”

“If I asked you, would you tell me the truth?”

“Probably not.”

“Then let’s wait until you feel like being truthful with me; I’ll ask you then. For now, all I need to know is that you’ll protect me when I’m in danger. And no matter what happens in the future, you won’t leave me. That’s enough.”

“Wife.”

“Hmm?”

“Actually, you’re not completely lacking in emotional intelligence.”

“Dare to say that again and see what happens!”

“I love you.”

…

This was a brief exchange between Lin Fei and his ice queen CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, last night after hanging up the phone with that cheap father-in-law, Mu Hong.

Despite its brevity, the conversation was enough to dissolve the marital conflict over Lin Fei hiding his past experiences and background strength.

As Lin Fei had noted, Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, wasn’t completely devoid of emotional intelligence.

After all, they had been married for over half a year. Under Lin Fei’s cheap husband shenanigans—teasing, taking liberties, or offering warmth in disguise—Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, had developed a bit of self-awareness as a wife, or even as a lover.

At least she understood.

What had happened before didn’t matter. What mattered was that the current Lin Fei cared for her and wouldn’t leave her.

That was enough.

…

First Traditional Chinese Hospital’s rooftop in Zhonghai.

“…So that’s what happened. The bastard who sent someone to kidnap sister-in-law has been humanely obliterated by Vulture. It took Vulture a bit of effort, but one hour ago, he officially took over the two oil fields owned by that bastard. As for the third oil field that the bastard wanted to compete for with your father-in-law, Vulture is helping with the arrangements, and it should be transferred to your father-in-law in a few days.”

Butcher, with a cigar in his mouth, murmured after relaying the message from Vulture to Lin Fei, as if speaking to himself or as a reminder, “According to Vulture’s investigations, there seems to be a shadow of the Mo Country military behind your father-in-law.”

“Watch and wait, help if possible.”

After Butcher finished speaking, Lin Fei, who had guessed something from the attitude of last night’s special forces toward him and his CEO wife Mu Shanshan, murmured a response.

Subsequently, neither of them had the intention to discuss the topic any further and both fell silent.

The Mo Country military, where Lin Fei and Butcher had once served and even took pride in. However, due to the incident with Little Tiger, they were now disconnected from the current Mo Country military.

Mentioning it again only brought back a few helpless reminiscences.

After a while, Butcher, who took a deep puff of his cigar, was the first to speak again, “Boss, I thought about it last night after I went back. Thorny Rose’s people shouldn’t have died for nothing. So, I was thinking, if Thorny Rose is willing, we could pick a few loyal ones from her villa to send to Vulture for some training. That way, we can ensure better security for the sisters in the future. Boss, what do you think?”

“Fine by me.” Lin Fei naturally had no objections to Butcher’s suggestion, which would indirectly repay and even comfort the cold and glamorous Thorny Rose—Xue Mei.

“Since you have no objections, Boss, I’ll head back now. It’s better to take care of this kind of thing sooner rather than later.” Butcher, who had casually bid farewell to Lin Fei, was about to turn and leave when he had barely taken a few steps.

Suddenly, he turned around and shouted to Lin Fei, “Boss, I almost forgot. With your villa being renovated, where are you and sister-in-law planning to sleep tonight?”

At Butcher’s words, Lin Fei was taken aback.

Unable to go home for the time being, where he and his CEO wife Mu Shanshan would sleep tonight was indeed a problem…
