Chapter 84 - 84 84 Don't Think About Going Out to Mess Around

84: Chapter 84: Don’t Think About Going Out to Mess Around 84: Chapter 84: Don’t Think About Going Out to Mess Around “Fine, I won’t leave then, you go ahead and change your clothes.

We’ve been married so long, it’s not like I haven’t seen it all before, and missing one or two times won’t matter.

Besides, if I really wanted to look, do you think you could hide from me?”

Lin Fei took the remote control, turned on the TV, and waved his hand at Mu Shanshan, somewhat helpless at the two bizarre excuses his wife had given.

We’ve been married for such a long time, if Lin Fei really intended to sneak a peek at Mu Shanshan’s graceful body, she would have long been completely seen by him.

Moreover, if Lin Fei truly wanted to leave, he wouldn’t have come home with Mu Shanshan.

Ultimately, it was Mu Shanshan, his wife, who had subconsciously secured a place in Lin Fei’s heart.

Mu Shanshan furrowed her brows and thought for a few seconds.

Considering Lin Fei had seen her before and they would live together for a long time to come, it was inevitable that he would see her again.

She gave Lin Fei a cold look, “If I come down and find you gone, you won’t be welcomed here anymore.”

With that threat, Mu Shanshan walked upstairs in her high heels.

After Mu Shanshan left, Lin Fei had no intention of breaking his word.

He had to go see Xue Mei, as that woman was the chairman of Thorny Rose.

Having stood her up this time, who knows what she might do to Lin Fei behind his back.

A strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake, and Lin Fei, at best, could only be considered a hidden dragon.

Due to Ling Weiwei, he had already offended the Azure Dragon Gang, so naturally, there was no need to provoke Thorny Rose further.

Mu Shanshan would eventually have to sleep, and leaving after she had fallen asleep wouldn’t be too late.

As long as he got back before dawn to join her for a run, it would be fine.

Lin Fei who had been pressing the remote control in the living room, didn’t find any interesting TV shows.

Catching a glimpse of Aunt Lan busy in the kitchen out of the corner of his eye, Lin Fei turned off the TV and headed to the kitchen.

“Aren’t you hungry, son-in-law?

Just wait a bit longer, the meal will be ready soon.

Although the Miss says she won’t cook for you, she still brought you back home.

It shows you hold a place in her heart.

Don’t mind my rambling, but now that you’ve moved in together, you should refrain from staying out overnight.

No woman out there is better than our Miss.”

Aunt Lan, seeing Lin Fei enter the kitchen alone, couldn’t help but quietly advise him.

Lin Fei couldn’t help but roll his eyes; Mu Shanshan was indeed great.

She had the looks, body, status, and charm—she truly had it all, a rare beauty unmatched by others.

Even with Lin Fei’s extensive experience with women both domestically and internationally, he couldn’t find a woman who surpassed Mu Shanshan.

The problem was, as perfect as Mu Shanshan was, she was untouchable.

She was to be admired as if a statue; any attempt to play would definitely meet the most intense resistance, and it might even lead to a bloody incident.

However, these matters were naturally not something Lin Fei would discuss with Aunt Lan.

After all, this was a private matter between him and Mu Shanshan.

As a man, not being able to handle his own wife was indeed not something to share with others.

But having been chastised by Aunt Lan right to his face, Lin Fei’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Aunt Lan had watched Mu Shanshan grow up; she could be considered half a senior to Mu Shanshan, and thus, half a senior to Lin Fei as well.

Being criticized about his private life by a senior, even if it was a bit unjust, left Lin Fei with no option but to respond with an embarrassed smile.

“Aunt Lan, let me help you,”

Regarding Mu Shanshan instructing Aunt Lan not to cook for him, Lin Fei didn’t have much resistance.

Considering he was the one not coming home at night, if he could put himself in Lin Fei’s shoes and had waited at the dining table for a long time only for Mu Shanshan to not come home all night, his reaction would definitely be far more intense.

“The kitchen work is supposed to be done by us women, son-in-law, you should go rest instead.”

Aunt Lan originally planned to criticize Lin Fei a bit, but seeing Lin Fei readily offering help as if admitting his mistake, her heart softened, and she smiled as she politely refused Lin Fei’s offer to help.

Of course, Aunt Lan mostly thought Lin Fei was just being polite.

After all, these days, finding young women who could cook was already rare, let alone men, whose rarity was comparable to that of a giant panda.

“It’s no trouble, I’m free anyway, so let me show off a little for Aunt Lan today.”

As he spoke, Lin Fei took the kitchen knife from Aunt Lan’s hand and grabbed a potato from the washing basin, swiftly peeling it.

The knife in Lin Fei’s hands seemed to come alive, sticking to his hands as if glued there.

Aunt Lan blinked, and a smooth-skinned potato appeared in Lin Fei’s hands.

Aunt Lan, who had intended to remind Lin Fei about the peeling tool, suddenly forgot to speak and stood there dumbstruck, looking at Lin Fei as if he were an alien.

“Aunt Lan, you are making beef stew with potatoes, right?

Where’s the beef?”

While Aunt Lan was still stunned, Lin Fei had already peeled two more potatoes and was cutting them while asking her.

“It’s in, in the refrigerator, I, I’ll fetch it.”

Aunt Lan came back to her senses, stuttering a bit as she saw Lin Fei nearly done cutting the potatoes, and quickly went to fetch the beef for him.

…

Having changed into a purple chiffon camisole dress that revealed her creamy, sexy legs, Mu Shanshan, wearing crystal high-heeled sandals, appeared at the staircase on the second floor of the villa.

After Mu Shanshan came downstairs, she did not see Lin Fei in the living room.

Her flawless, unparalleled beauty suddenly turned icy cold, and the temperature in the entire villa living room seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

This jerk, like a dog that can’t change its habits, liar, scoundrel…

Countless negative words about Lin Fei surged in Mu Shanshan’s mind.

If Lin Fei could see into her heart at that moment, he would definitely be stunned by the barrage of negative words.

“Miss is down, and just in time—dinner is ready.

Come, try the son-in-law’s cooking.”

Aunt Lan, bringing food from the kitchen to the dining room, saw Mu Shanshan standing silently in the living room and quickly smiled and called out.

Mu Shanshan’s frosty expression slightly stiffened.

For a moment, the usually calm, wise, and bold CEO Mu found herself unable to snap back immediately.

“Mercenary’s cooking skills?” The mercenary Aunt Lan referred to could only be Lin Fei, but what puzzled Mu Shanshan was that in her mind, Lin Fei should have been the one sneaking out of the villa while she changed clothes.

How did he suddenly acquire culinary skills?

Could it be that her makeshift husband could also cook?

Mu Shanshan was shocked by this thought, it’s not possible, it shouldn’t be, it’s not right.

However, Aunt Lan was clearly one of the least likely people to deceive Mu Shanshan in this world.

For a moment, Mu Shanshan’s normally calm, wise, and highly intelligent brain seemed like a mess, utterly confused.

“Wife, what are you thinking about?

Time to eat?”

Lin Fei had appeared in front of Mu Shanshan at some point, leaning in close with a smile.

“Ah—”

Mu Shanshan exclaimed in surprise, instinctively stepping back two paces, her delicate and perfect face showing a fearful expression.

“Am I that scary?

Come on, let’s eat.”

Mu Shanshan, looking like a frightened little rabbit, made Lin Fei feel quite speechless.

It also reminded him that conquering the ice mountain goddess Mu Shanshan was a long and challenging journey!

Thinking this, Lin Fei ignored Mu Shanshan’s reaction, grabbed her soft, snow-white hands, and walked towards the dining room.

“This is what being a couple looks like.”

Aunt Lan, arranging dishes and cutlery in the dining room, saw the couple walking hand in hand from the living room to the dining room, her face breaking into a genuinely delighted smile.

Startled by Aunt Lan’s comment, Mu Shanshan’s cheeks flushed a beautiful crimson, and her eyes held an unmistakable hint of embarrassment.

Mu Shanshan wasn’t as thick-skinned as Lin Fei.

Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed under Aunt Lan’s gaze, she intended to pull her hand away, but Lin Fei held on tight, clearly not giving her the chance to do so.

After several attempts that failed to free her hand, Mu Shanshan’s eyes hardened as she glared at Lin Fei, her gaze icy cold.

Feeling the chill emanating from Mu Shanshan’s eyes, and just as they reached the dining table, Lin Fei took the opportunity to let go of her hand and gently pushed her into a chair.

“Come on, sweet Shanshan wife, try your darling husband’s cooking.

I promise you’ll want more after one bite, and after two, you’ll be wanting your husband.”

Lin Fei sat down and immediately served Mu Shanshan some potatoes and a few slices of beef.

“Miss, after all, it’s the mercenary’s heartfelt effort; please give it a try.”

Aunt Lan, also happy to see Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan’s playful interaction, thought this was how a married couple should be.

Under the watchful eyes of both Aunt Lan and Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of potato, and put it into her mouth.

Lin Fei was quite confident in his culinary skills.

Once, he had to stay in a Star Hotel in the Middle East for over a month to complete a mercenary task.

Having lots of spare time, Lin Fei learned cooking from several of the hotel’s chefs.

As the saying goes, a good teacher produces a good disciple, so Lin Fei’s skills were naturally not bad.

However, after a minute had passed, with no expression on Mu Shanshan’s pretty face, Lin Fei began to feel uneasy.

“Wife, how’s the taste?

You have to give me your feedback.”

After Lin Fei’s repeated inquiries, Mu Shanshan finally gave a barely perceptible nod.

“Tasty, then eat some more.”

Seeing Mu Shanshan nod, Lin Fei was reassured that his cooking skills hadn’t deteriorated; he kept serving her more potatoes and beef.

Mu Shanshan’s eyes, deep and emotional, fixed unblinkingly on Lin Fei—her heart a turmoil of mixed feelings.

At first, Mu Shanshan thought Aunt Lan said Lin Fei cooked the meal to ease the tension between them from earlier.

However, after tasting the food, Mu Shanshan realized she was wrong.

She knew the taste of Aunt Lan’s cooking, having eaten it for over a decade.

But now, knowing for sure that Lin Fei had cooked the meal made Mu Shanshan’s heart churn uncomfortably.

They had been married for such a long time, and Lin Fei had often annoyed her but had never cooked for her before.

Thinking that Lin Fei’s attentiveness might be to win her over so she would allow him to fool around, especially when the dish was so delicious, made Mu Shanshan feel even worse.

Suppressing the various conflicting thoughts swirling in her heart, Mu Shanshan looked intently at Lin Fei and said very seriously, “Lin Fei, your cooking is delicious.

But, I will not agree to you seeing other women.

If I didn’t know, it’d be another story.

But now that I do know, I can’t just let you go and fool around.

I just can’t do it!”
