Chapter 741: Chapter 743: Accompanying Ling Weiwei Back to Her Parents’ Home

“Weiwei, are you sure you don’t want me to go shopping with you?”

Having been thrilled by Lin Fei’s promise to spend the day with her alone, Ling Weiwei decided to skip work and go to the company. After tenderly seeing to it that Lin Fei finished his breakfast, she immediately took him downstairs and drove straight out of Zhonghai.

Seeing that Ling Weiwei had driven the car out of Zhonghai without any intention of stopping, Lin Fei couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised as he asked the stunning department head.

“I have enough clothes and shoes; I don’t need to go shopping right now.” After all, since they were out of the city area, there were hardly any cars on the road. Thus, as the beautiful department head, Ling Weiwei, responded to Lin Fei, she did not forget to turn back and smile at him.

“I’m reminding you for the last time, once we pass this village, there won’t be this shop anymore. Even if you don’t have any shopping needs lately, you can still ask me to go to the movies with you or do other dating activities. You should know that I’m not free every day to go out with you alone.”

Seeing that the beautiful department head Ling Weiwei didn’t seem to want to stop the car anytime soon, Lin Fei, reluctant to waste the precious time of their date, had to remind her once again kindly.

However, it appeared that Ling Weiwei didn’t heed Lin Fei’s reminder. As the woman turned back to smile at him again, she shook her head slightly, “Although I, too, would love to drag you to the movies or grab a coffee, I know you can’t always come out alone to date me. But since you said today you are mine, then you have to listen to me.”

“So, where are we going now?”

“I want to take you back to my place to have a look.”

“Stop the car!”

Whoosh!

At Lin Fei’s sudden outburst, Ling Weiwei, who was startled, instinctively hit the brakes!

Luckily, they were in the suburbs. If they had been in the urban area of Zhonghai, such a sudden brake by the beautiful department head might have caused a rear-end collision.

Even if they didn’t get hit, it would probably have damaged the rear end of the car.

“Lin Fei, what are you doing?!” After hitting the brakes and taking several deep breaths to fully recover her composure, Ling Weiwei couldn’t help but reprimand Lin Fei with a bit of annoyance in her clear, autumnal eyes.

“Turn around, go back!”

Ignoring Ling Weiwei’s reprimand, Lin Fei continued to speak in a cold voice, giving instructions to the beautiful department head.

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s cold words, Ling Weiwei couldn’t help but feel a sudden jolt in her heart, and her fair, delicate face involuntarily turned pale.

“Why?”

As the three words left her mouth, the beautiful department head’s bright eyes dimmed.

It wasn’t that she was being petty, but returning to one’s parents’ home is generally considered a joyful event for any couple deeply in love.

Yet, Lin Fei looked downright frosty.

Considering Lin Fei’s marriage to the icy CEO Shanshan Mu, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful department head, couldn’t help but overthink.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that Ling Weiwei’s “parents’ home” was rather special, she probably wouldn’t have asked and would have just quietly turned around and driven back.

Well, to be more precise, if it weren’t for the fact that Ling Weiwei’s “maternal family” was too special. And Lin Fei’s extraordinary sympathy and pity for her today reached a peak, Minister Weiwei, the beauty, would probably not even mention taking Lin Fei back to her “maternal family.”

After all, if word of this got out and reached the ears of CEO Mu Shanshan, the ice queen, it would be troublesome for both her and Lin Fei.

The main thing was, the rather complicated relationship between her and Lin Fei was very difficult to explain to her maternal family.

It was like how Aunt Shen Fanghua looked down upon Lin Fei.

If it were Minister Weiwei’s “maternal family,” they would definitely pressure the woman to break up with Lin Fei. Or worse, force Lin Fei to divorce CEO Mu Shanshan, the ice queen.

After all, Minister Weiwei’s “maternal family” was not like Aunt Shen Fanghua, who had a deep relationship with Mu Shanshan and even Mu Hong and thus couldn’t really afford to turn against Lin Fei.

…

“Weiwei, can’t you consider my feelings? It’s my first time going back with you to your maternal home. Let’s not mention how casual I dressed when I left the house today. Just being empty-handed, how can I walk into your family’s home? The first time I go back with you, I should at least make a good impression on your family. At the very least, I should bring them some gifts. Me being empty-handed, aside from what your family will think of me, even you will lose face!”

Lin Fei was truly helpless, truly helpless. At the same time, he really wanted to flick Minister Weiwei’s smooth, jade-like forehead quite hard.

He had made special arrangements with Minister Weiwei to dedicate the day to her alone, just to let her relax properly. So she wouldn’t wear herself out with work pressures.

It was fine if Minister Weiwei didn’t drag him around shopping or to see a movie. It was also okay for her to want to take him back to her maternal home to show him to her family.

The problem was, she should at least give him some mental preparation. She couldn’t just let him go empty-handed!

Going to your father-in-law’s house empty-handed, where on earth does that make sense?!

Unlike Lin Fei’s helplessness and disgruntlement, after hearing Lin Fei’s complaints, Minister Weiwei actually breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“You’re overthinking it, I’m not taking you back to my maternal home. I don’t—I mean, you’ve misunderstood. I can’t explain to you right now. Anyway, you’re thinking too much. When we get there, you’ll understand. Also, I didn’t say you should go empty-handed with me. When we get there, I’ll find a place to buy something.”

“Isn’t buying things supposed to be my job?”

“Do you have money?”

“That’s not the point! The point is, since you decided to take me to your home, you should have told me beforehand. At least, I could be mentally prepared.”

“I’m telling you now, it’s not too late. We still have a long way to go to my home.”

With that, she didn’t give Lin Fei a chance to ask further. Minister Weiwei started the car and continued on.

And seeing that she didn’t want to continue explaining to him, Lin Fei couldn’t be bothered to keep asking.

For a while, the car became rare in its silence.

Lin Fei quietly pondered what gifts he should buy upon arriving at Minister Weiwei’s ancestral home and how he should explain his relationship with her.

Of course, the most important thing was how to make a good impression on Minister Weiwei’s “maternal family”…
