Chapter 669: Chapter 671: Lin Fei Sends Flowers, Cash on Delivery (Part 3)

“This bouquet of flowers, he, he didn’t pay?!”

A single sentence, two pauses, three different intonations.

For Mu Shanshan, who is usually so exceptionally reserved and rarely shows any emotional color between her words and expressions,

this sentence undoubtedly revealed a great deal of what lay beneath the iceberg CEO’s surface. As for Lin Fei, her audacious husband, choosing such a method of delivery with payment upon receipt for sending flowers, shock, indignation, hesitation, disbelief… and a host of such complex emotions surged within her.

It was conceivable, then, just how much shock Lin Fei’s cash-on-delivery style of sending flowers had brought to Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO.

To a certain extent, it could even be said that at this moment, Mu Shanshan was completely flabbergasted.

Although the woman had little experience in romance,

she hadn’t eaten pork but had seen pigs run. As a goddess who was often presented with flowers, how could Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, not understand how bizarre it was for Lin Fei, her so-called husband, to send flowers with such a cash-on-delivery method!

“Lin, Brother Lin said, the money for the flowers, he said to, to deduct it from, from his, from his salary,” Meng Xue’er said, somewhat frightened by Mu Shanshan’s suddenly frosty beauty. It took her nearly a dozen seconds to comfort herself inwardly before she managed to somewhat stabilize her emotions and reluctantly responded to the iceberg CEO, Mu Shanshan.

At Meng Xue’er’s words, not only did Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, look increasingly frosty, but even the CEO’s secretaries and assistants in the office were struck as if by thunder, each of them bewildered!

Originally, when Meng Xue’er, a girl of pure and crystal-clear innocence, came in carrying 99 roses claiming they were from Lin Fei to the iceberg CEO,

the news was explosive enough.

But when it was confirmed from the mouth of Meng Xue’er, the pure and crystal-clear girl, that the 99 roses Lin Fei intended to give to the iceberg CEO hadn’t been paid for,

this was no longer just gossip among the company’s higher-ups.

This was courting death!

And it was the kind with no limits!

Apart from the shock, the president’s secretaries and assistants couldn’t help but feel a measure of respect for Lin Fei’s fearless spirit.

Audacious enough to send flowers to the CEO with a cash-on-delivery option, the stunned secretaries and assistants couldn’t think of anything within the company Lin Fei would be afraid to do.

The only one among the CEO’s secretaries and assistants who didn’t think Lin Fei was courting death without limit was Shen Xuan, who was aware of Lin Fei’s unique relationship with his wife, the iceberg CEO, Mu Shanshan.

However, even Shen Xuan was quite alarmed by Lin Fei’s daring move with the cash-on-delivery flower delivery.

At the same time, Shen Xuan gained another layer of unique understanding of the marital relationship between Lin Fei and his wife, the iceberg CEO, Mu Shanshan.

“Shen Xuan, take Meng Xue’er to the finance department—”

After nearly three and a half minutes of silence, Mu Shanshan managed to forcibly control her emotions. She had intended to settle the 99 roses according to what Lin Fei, her so-called husband, had written on his card, using his salary for the payment.

However, she couldn’t finish her sentence.

For one, she remembered that Lin Fei, her so-called husband’s salary for the next two years, had already been entirely deducted by her. And naturally secondly, such family disgrace was indeed not suitable to be publicized!

With that in mind, after a brief moment of contemplation,

Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, took out a stack of cash from her own wallet and casually handed it to Meng Xue’er, the girl of pure and clear innocence.

“Take this to pay for the flowers!”

“Mu, President Mu. There’s no need, no need for so much, so much money.”

“The rest is your year-end bonus given in advance.”

“Xue’er, what are you dazing off for? Hurry up and thank President Mu.” Watching Meng Xue’er, this girl who was pure and clear to the bone, seemingly spaced out.

Shen Xuan, who was closer to the girl, quickly stepped forward and reminded Meng Xue’er in a low voice.

“Thank, thank you, President Mu.”

With Shen Xuan’s reminder, Meng Xue’er, this girl so pure and clear to the bone, quickly voiced her thanks to Mu Shanshan, the ice queen president, and also neatly put away the stack of cash that Mu Shanshan had handed her.

Following a gesture from Mu Shanshan, she turned and left the president’s office.

“Shen Xuan, help me with the flowers—let’s continue the meeting!”

Feeling extremely displeased inside, Mu Shanshan wanted to have Shen Xuan throw away the 99 roses sent by Lin Fei, her nominal husband, in such an unromantic cash-on-delivery manner.

However, her heart softened at the thought of what Meng Xue’er, the pure and clear girl, had said. After all, these 99 roses were personally chosen by Lin Fei at the flower shop for her.

At this thought, Mu Shanshan, the ice queen president, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of reluctance.

Thus, she simply changed her mind and continued the meeting.

“President Mu, there seems to be more writing on the back of the card.”

Because she was looking down from above, Shen Xuan could see that there was writing on the back of the card that Mu Shanshan was holding. Considering the marital relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei, Shen Xuan, the executive secretary, naturally spoke up to bring it to the president’s attention.

Alerted by Shen Xuan, her top secretary, Mu Shanshan felt a slight jolt in her heart.

Then, she immediately flipped over the card that Lin Fei, her nominal husband, had placed among the 99 roses.

Just as Shen Xuan, her top secretary, had mentioned, there was indeed writing on the card, and it wasn’t just a single sentence.

There were three sentences in total.

The first sentence: “Wife, forgive me.”

The second sentence: “I admit that I went to see Youyou at the class reunion because she was my first love and the person I once loved the most.”

The third sentence: “But now the person I love the most is you, not her.”

These three sentences, written in Lin Fei’s small handwriting, didn’t even fill up half of the card’s back.

Still, those three sentences were enough to fill up the entirety of Mu Shanshan’s heart.

Well, to be more precise, it should be said that the very last of the three sentences written by Lin Fei on the back of the card was enough to fill up and even warm Mu Shanshan’s entire heart.

Originally, Mu Shanshan, who was quite dissatisfied with Lin Fei’s unromantic cash-on-delivery method of sending flowers and even thought about throwing all 99 roses away, felt warmth in her heart. A touch of soft affection began to emerge, and she changed her mind.

“Shen Xuan, find some larger vases, and help me arrange these flowers.”

In a good mood, the roses looked pleasing no matter how she looked at them…
