Chapter 742: Chapter 744 Maternal Home—Orphanage (Part 1)

“Weiwei, maybe we should just turn around and go back. After all, this is the first time I’m coming to your family’s home with you, and we should really do it officially. If you’re worried about being late, we can return now and come back tomorrow. I don’t have much to do these days, so I don’t mind spending a few more days with you.”

Seeing as Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, kept driving further away, seemingly ready to leave the jurisdiction of Zhonghai, Lin Fei, who was concerned about his own unprepared appearance, couldn’t help but speak up again, attempting to persuade her to turn back. Then, he would have a chance to change his outfit and also buy some gifts.

“If we turn back now, there’s no way we could come back today. That would mean my time today is completely wasted. There’s already a lot of work waiting for me at the office. I’ve already delayed today, and if I delay another day tomorrow, many things at the company would definitely fall behind.”

In response to Lin Fei’s suggestion about turning back today and coming again tomorrow, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, decisively refused. Ideally, if not for Lin Fei’s concern, which utterly warmed her, she would definitely be working her life away at the office.

With Shanshan, the icy CEO, and Penny, the peerless beauty, both absent from the company, many responsibilities fell onto Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister.

Her continuous overtime these past days is the best evidence of this.

Thus, moved by Lin Fei’s care and protection, she bit the bullet and took a day off from work, taking Lin Fei “back home.” For Ling Weiwei, this beautiful minister, it was quite a determined decision.

Letting her delay another day was absolutely out of the question.

It wasn’t just about whether Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, could bring herself to do so; more importantly, it concerned the many matters at Mu Group that would be utterly postponed.

After all, since the icy CEO Shanshan had left, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, had effectively become the decision-maker inside Mu Group.

If the decision-maker was absent from the company for two consecutive days, it definitely wouldn’t be good news for the operation of various departments.

“Don’t worry about it, my family is a little special. If you really make me turn back now to buy some expensive gifts, it would truly be a waste.”

Seeing Lin Fei’s contemplation, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, couldn’t help but explain further to him.

Because of this, Lin Fei finally gave up on making her turn back to allow him to change his attire and prepare some gifts.

…

In the afternoon, driving out of Zhonghai, Ling Weiwei brought Lin Fei to her place of birth.

A small town that is economically underdeveloped under Zhonghai.

After shopping in a supermarket in the town with Ling Weiwei, where they bought a lot of children’s toys and stationery, and filled the entire trunk with rice, noodles, oil, vegetables, fruits, and meat,

Lin Fei, his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed, “Weiwei, are you sure we only need to buy these items? Don’t we need something else?”

Lin Fei couldn’t help but feel astonished, being with Ling Weiwei the beautiful minister, going back to her family’s home, out of love for Ling Weiwei and respect for her family.

Of course, he was more intent on making a good impression on Ling Weiwei’s family members. Thus, he was highly skeptical about the items Ling Weiwei had bought.

Although Lin Fei had heard more than once from the beautiful minister, Weiwei, that her maternal family was somewhat unique, he still felt compelled to express his opposition upon seeing all the items that Weiwei had purchased.

Although Weiwei, the beautiful minister, had bought quite a lot of items, the purchases looked more like she was going to visit the mountains rather than return to her maternal home.

Lin Fei also realized that Weiwei’s maternal family wasn’t particularly wealthy. But such a large quantity of items, as if providing aid to mountain areas, exceeded Lin Fei’s tolerance, even though he was usually quite tough-minded.

Although Lin Fei had always had thick skin, a situation like today’s clearly wasn’t something he could simply shrug off with it.

It wasn’t just a matter of having thick skin anymore when it came to Weiwei, the beautiful minister, carrying these “high-standard” gifts back to her maternal home.

If they encountered any ill-tempered family members, Lin Fei, as the “son-in-law visiting,” risked being treated coldly or even kicked out.

After all, although Weiwei, the beautiful minister, had bought a lot, she hadn’t purchased any conventional gifts such as tobacco or alcohol.

“Weiwei, you usually seem so sensible. How come you’ve lost your mind today when going back to your maternal home?!” These were the words Lin Fei most wanted to say to Weiwei at the moment.

What Lin Fei most wanted to do right now was undoubtedly to drive back.

Weiwei’s actions today were highly unusual. Moreover, she had repeatedly told him that her family was unusual.

Now, having bought piles of items that didn’t at all seem like what a son-in-law should bring on his first visit, Lin Fei inevitably felt uneasy.

If it were any other matter, Lin Fei wouldn’t have cared much, as he was used to wrestling with life and death on the fields of international mercenaries.

However, something like going back to one’s maternal home with one’s wife clearly couldn’t be dealt with casually.

And Weiwei, the beautiful minister, either had a screw loose or had taken the wrong medicine, going off-track on such a matter.

“What are you waiting for, get in the car.”

Oblivious to her deviation from the norm, Weiwei, seeing Lin Fei standing still, promptly called him to get in the car.

Amid his unease, Lin Fei couldn’t help but think again about turning back to Zhonghai.

“Weiwei, let’s just go back.”

“If you want to go back, go back by yourself. We’ve come this far, and I need to go see them now,” Weiwei, detecting some of Lin Fei’s thoughts and not wanting to explain further, glanced at him helplessly and resignedly before she got into the car.

Seeing Weiwei, the beautiful minister, getting into the car and seemingly about to leave him behind, Lin Fei, despite feeling helpless and uncertain, could only sigh and follow her in the car towards her “maternal home.”
