The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 86 - 86 86 Middle-Aged Man

86: Chapter 86 Middle-Aged Man 86: Chapter 86 Middle-Aged Man Doesn’t that just mean that I, Lin Fei, am worse than a teddy bear!

Damn it, a bear I can tolerate, but this is too much, Lin Fei never imagined that one day he wouldn’t even compare to a toy bear.

If Mu Shanshan were a young girl, that would be one thing.

Kids always do prefer toys a little more.

But the problem is, Mu Shanshan is his wife, Lin Fei, a woman in her twenties, who is also the icy CEO known throughout the Zhonghai business world.

“She is my closest companion.”

Mu Shanshan didn’t explain much to Lin Fei, using just one sentence to make clear the position of the beige giant teddy bear in her heart.

“Wife, you couldn’t have grown up hugging that broken bear, could you?”

“What’s it to you.”

“Wife, does your broken bear have a name?”

“I’m not telling you.”

“Wife, let me hug your broken bear for one night.”

“No way.”

Facing Lin Fei’s pestering, Mu Shanshan’s responses became shorter with each exchange.

In the end, she simply turned off the bedside lamp, closed her beautiful eyes, and began to sleep, ignoring Lin Fei.

Although he didn’t get to share the bed and enjoy the treatment a husband is due, the early lights-out by Mu Shanshan was actually to Lin Fei’s liking.

After all, the bedroom did now include Lin Fei, and Mu Shanshan tossed and turned, unable to fall deeply asleep.

Although they had been married for over half a year, Lin Fei had never done anything excessive to her, which made Mu Shanshan gradually let down her guard against him.

However, it didn’t take long for Mu Shanshan to realize she was expecting too much.

Because Lin Fei’s snoring soon started up and each snore was louder than the last.

“Lin Fei, Lin Fei…”

Mu Shanshan sat up halfway, hugging her giant teddy bear and attempted to call Lin Fei’s name a couple of times.

Seeing that Lin Fei didn’t respond, his snores still shaking the heavens, she thought, “Damn it, he’s sleeping so soundly!”

After kicking Lin Fei several times without any sign of him waking up, Mu Shanshan finally let her guard down.

However, she inexplicably felt a sense of loss that was hard to express.

This kind of contradictory feeling towards men is a woman’s nature, even Mu Shanshan, the great CEO, could not escape it.

The reason is simple: Lin Fei’s snoring was just too loud and frequent.

Mu Shanshan, who was used to sleeping alone, couldn’t stand this noise.

For a moment, Mu Shanshan thought about waking Lin Fei up in the middle of the night, worried that he might do something out of anger.

But if she just let Lin Fei snore without restraint, she, the great CEO, wouldn’t be able to get a good night’s sleep either.

After Mu Shanshan left, Lin Fei’s snoring abruptly ceased, and his eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, shining like stars.

When Mu Shanshan opened the door, Lin Fei started pretending to be asleep again.

Perhaps feeling that one strip wasn’t enough to completely cover Lin Fei’s mouth, Mu Shanshan stuck two more on.

Through the faint moonlight, it was visible that three white strips of tape now covered Lin Fei’s lips.

In the middle of the night, if Lin Fei were to mess up his hair a bit and go out to scare people, it would surely petrify the faint-hearted.

However, the great CEO obviously didn’t care about that, she clapped her jade hands contentedly as if pleased with her masterpiece, raised her head slightly, walked back to the bed with a leisurely gait, and got into bed to sleep.

Because of the layoffs during the day, Mu Shanshan had spent a lot of energy.

At night because of Lin Fei’s affairs, after some chaotic rigmarole, Mu Shanshan, without any more worries or noise disturbance, felt the onset of sleepiness, and quickly entered dreamland.

In his second year abroad as a mercenary, Lin Fei learned how to tell someone’s sleep state by their breathing.

After confirming that Mu Shanshan had fallen asleep, Lin Fei immediately ripped off the three strips of medical tape from his mouth.

Being taped up with three strips of medical tape because of snoring, by his own wife, is a story that perhaps few would believe if he told them.

Looking at the three strips of medical tape in his hand, Lin Fei really didn’t know what to say; encountering a wife as unique as Mu Shanshan, he could only accept his bad luck.

Fortunately, Lin Fei was only pretending to be asleep; otherwise, sleeping the whole night with medical tape over his mouth could have been suffocating – his mood the next day would certainly be terrible.

For some less mentally resilient, it might even leave some psychological scars.

…

In Zhonghai’s West Suburb, at the Thorny Rose headquarters, Rose Manor.

Inside the private villa of Thorny Rose’s Chairman, Xue Mei.

“Chairman, it’s so late, the Lin Fei you mentioned probably won’t come now, right?”

The one speaking was a middle-aged man sitting on the living room sofa, clad in traditional attire, leaning on a cane with a dragon head handle.

The reason he’s described as a middle-aged man is that his age is hard to judge.

Based on his appearance, his hair color is jet black, his complexion shows few signs of aging, and he has an unintentional commanding presence, akin to someone around forty.

However, his dress, manner of speaking, and the dragon-headed cane in his hand all seemed to indicate that he was well past middle-age.

“Elder Wei, please wait a little longer.

I believe that anyone who can come and go freely from Rose Manor wouldn’t be one to break their word.”

Xue Mei, dressed in a red body-hugging dress, with a graceful figure and seductive appearance, sitting on the nearby sofa, spoke with noticeable respect for the middle-aged man—Elder Wei.
