586: 586 586: 586 Night.
At Purple Garden Pavilion, where Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan resided.
Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, outside her bedroom door.
Lin Fei, mistakenly thinking that Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, was about to strip his clothes off, looked very displeased, very displeased indeed.
To some extent, his expression was almost as dark as water!
Although, to some extent, Lin Fei didn’t really hate that his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, might strip off his clothes.
But, after all, the two had just had a small argument in the living room.
Of course, the main reason was that Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, had threatened him that he’d have no clothes to wear for work early tomorrow morning.
Therefore, deep in the night, Mu Shanshan suddenly dashed out barefoot from her room and even grabbed hold of his underwear.
Lin Fei could not help but let his thoughts run wild.
In fact, Lin Fei, having experienced much in life, had long since developed a fearless disposition.
Had it been some timid person instead, being suddenly burst upon and grabbed by Mu Shanshan in the middle of the night might scare them badly, if not terrify them outright.
“Lin Fei, how could you come out dressed ?!
You, go back and put on some clothes!” Compared to Lin Fei’s dark expression, Mu Shanshan, having heard the door open and mistakenly thinking Lin Fei was sneaking out to meet a lover, had impulsively grabbed Lin Fei’s underwear.
After recovering her wits, she quickly let go and stepped away from Lin Fei, her beautiful eyes blushing as she chided him sweetly.
“My dear Shanshan, have I dazzled you with my handsomeness?
This isn’t the company; I’m in my own house.
How I dress here can’t be too excessive, right?!
Besides, you, up and about late at night.
Suddenly bursting out from the room, what are your intentions?!
Come clean to your husband now!”
Hearing Mu Shanshan’s sweet scolding and seeing the blush in her watery beautiful eyes, Lin Fei somewhat understood that his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, wasn’t actually trying to take advantage of him while he was asleep to get revenge by stripping his clothes.
Although he was verbally scolding her, his expression had softened quite a bit.
“I need to go to the restroom!
It’s late; if there’s nothing else, you should get back to sleep.”
Being the head of the massive Mu Group, although she was somewhat embarrassed by her husband Lin Fei wearing just underwear, she also discerned from Lin Fei’s attire that he wasn’t planning to sneak out on her to meet a lover.
After the initial panic, she quickly regained her composure.
Toward the end of the conversation, she even regained the authoritative tone she held at the company.
Still, Lin Fei clearly had no intention of backing down.
After all, they were not at the company, nor were there any Mu Group employees to witness.
Between them in private, no matter how cold Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, could be, Lin Fei was always ready to give a firm counter.
“This isn’t the company or your CEO’s office.
When I sleep or whether I sleep at all is not for you to decide, it’s up to me!”
After replying casually to Lin Fei, her husband, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, made a move to head to the restroom.
However, she had only just taken a step when Lin Fei pressed her against the wall.
“If I remember correctly,” he said, “wife, you used to wear shoes when you went to the restroom.
Why did you go barefoot today?”
“I—Lin, Lin Fei, what are you doing?!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Fei scooped her up horizontally.
Mu Shanshan, her face slightly losing color, couldn’t help but scold Lin Fei delicately.
Walking barefoot can easily cause a cold.
If you want to go to the restroom, I’ll carry you back to put on your shoes.”
With that, Lin Fei casually carried Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, back to the bedroom.
Without paying attention to the CEO’s wife’s expression, Lin Fei gently set her down on the bed once they were in the bedroom.
Then, Lin Fei squat down and took one of Mu Shanshan’s delicate, fair feet in one hand, grabbing her crystal slippers with the other, and naturally slipped them onto her feet.
Throughout the process, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, showed no resistance; she seemed almost dazed or like a tender, gentle woman, letting Lin Fei handle her exquisite feet.
More precisely, from the moment Lin Fei mentioned the chill and picked her up, Mu Shanshan’s expression, originally flushed with embarrassment or even chill, seemed as if an immobilization spell had been cast on her.
She didn’t move at all as Lin Fei took her back to the bedroom, sat her on the bed, and put on her slippers.
“Okay, stop being silly.
Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the restroom?
I’ll use the one downstairs, and you take the one upstairs.” Saying this, Lin Fei stood up and left Mu Shanshan’s bedroom.
After Lin Fei left, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, lowered her head, her eyes filled with unspoken tender sentiments.
They stared fixatedly at the crystal slippers that Lin Fei had personally put on for her.
One minute, two minutes…
until five minutes later, when Lin Fei, carrying a blanket and pillow, re-entered Mu Shanshan’s bedroom, and the woman finally seemed to gather her wits.
“Lin Fei, what are you doing?”
Lifting her head, she saw her husband, carrying the bedding back into her room.
Given what Lin Fei had just done, tender emotions stirred in Mu Shanshan’s heart, and she couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“Since you’re worried I might leave while you’re asleep, I’ll have to make the sacrifice so you can sleep well—I’ll sleep on the floor.”
Saying this, Lin Fei casually spread the blanket on the floor, placed the pillow, turned off the light, then laid down, “I’ve come over voluntarily now, so you should feel reassured.
Alright, better sleep now; you need to get up early for a run tomorrow.”
“Lin Fei, you—you don’t blame me?”
“What’s there to blame?
You were worried I might leave while you were asleep; it might seem like you don’t trust me.
But when you think about it, it’s actually because you care about me.
Even those middle-aged couples married for over a decade don’t necessarily truly care for each other.
It’s rare for you to care so much about me, why would I blame you?”
After Lin Fei finished speaking, Mu Shanshan shed the crystal slippers he had placed by her bed, and she lay down.
For a long time, silence lingered.
Just as Lin Fei was drifting off to sleep.
From the bed, Mu Shanshan spoke softly, “Lin Fei, the floor is cold.
Maybe, come up and sleep.”
With those words from Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO—Lin Fei’s sleepiness vanished…
