Chapter 794: Chapter 796: The Pri Culprit — Mu Shanshan
Night.
Mu Group had a team stationed at a five-star Star Hotel, venturing into the international market.
Inside Mu Shanshan’s presidential suite.
"Hmph, rookie! Trying to compete with
for a man, not realizing this is my turf!"
Xia Yutong, who had successfully earned the right to sleep in the sa room as the icy CEO Mu Shanshan, entered the presidential suite from a luxurious hotel room at the bar that belonged to Mu Shanshan. The woman, quite pleased with herself, arrogantly tilted her head back and wrapped her arm around Mu Shanshan’s lotus-like arm.
She behaved as if she were a general returning from a victorious battle. Not exactly walking on air, but certainly filled with triumph.
After basking in her pride, Xia Yutong leaned into the icy CEO’s ear and started to tout her accomplishnts. "Shanshan, tell , how are you going to thank ? I strictly followed your instructions, giving him no ground for complaint. If I’m not mistaken, Lin Fei is certainly cursing
behind my back right now. I did this for you, even at the risk of deeply offending your husband. Surely, you must have a grand gift prepared for ."
"What gift do you want?"
With a counter-question, the icy CEO Mu Shanshan effectively admitted to what Xia Yutong had claid.
And, indeed, that was the case. Xia Yutong’s verbose argunt against Lin Fei, aiming to stay in the sa room as Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, weren’t truly her own intentions.
It was influenced by Mu Shanshan’s "secret manipulation."
It was an obvious situation; the icy CEO had been in Zhonghai for nearly a month.
Even if the won shared a deep friendship from their younger days, nearly a month was enough to exhaust all topics.
Moreover, considering Mu Shanshan’s reserved nature, she clearly was not one to indulge in idle chatter. Nocturnal whisperings in the ladies’ chamber were undoubtedly not her custom.
They were all adults, and even though they hadn’t seen each other for several years, things that should or shouldn’t be said could, at most, fill the duration of one al.
Therefore, Xia Yutong’s decision to openly offend Lin Fei to stay in the sa room as Mu Shanshan was clearly orchestrated by Mu Shanshan.
In essence, it wasn’t that Xia Yutong intended to sabotage or estrange the marital relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei.
Rather, it was Mu Shanshan herself who wasn’t ready to consummate her marriage with Lin Fei.
Thus, she had Xia Yutong play along in this act.
"The gift I want, you can’t give
for now. When you get pregnant one day and have a baby, rember to let your child acknowledge
as their godmother; that will be the best gift for . I’m making it clear now, you have to give this gift no matter what. I must be your child’s only godmother!"
"Ah?"
"Ah, what do you an ’ah’! You were the one who said you wanted to give
a gift. I didn’t force you at all. Anyway, I don’t care, I must be the godmother of your child!"
Regarding Xia Yutong’s bizarre and sowhat excessive demand for a gift, Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, really didn’t know how to respond.
She, who was usually exceptionally aloof, rarely felt this kind of amused helplessness.
Had it not been for the deep and extraordinary friendship that had ford with Xia Yutong since their university days, Mu Shanshan might have truly been embarrassed, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Although she had been married to Lin Fei for more than half a year, the sowhat complex marital relationship between them made the prospect of getting pregnant and having babies seem still too distant for Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO.
Thus, regarding Xia Yutong’s words wanting to be the godmother of her and Lin Fei’s child, Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, was truly at a loss for words.
And her silence, in Xia Yutong’s eyes, undoubtedly took on a different flavor.
"Shanshan, it’s just the two of us here. Tell
the truth. Is there truly a possibility for you and Lin Fei to continue together? If there is, why aren’t you willing to share a room with him when Lin Fei ca all the way from Zhonghai to find you? If there isn’t, then why did you defend him so much when we were eating earlier, even to the point of lashing out at ? Keep in mind, we’ve known each other for so long, and you’ve never once lost your temper with ."
Regarding Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO’s contradictory reactions and behavior towards Lin Fei, Xia Yutong was clearly puzzled.
Had it not been for the previous occasion, when the three of them were dining, when Mu Shanshan defended Lin Fei by lashing out at her, Xia Yutong might really have thought that the so-called marriage between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei was nothing but a farce.
"My relationship with Lin Fei is complicated. It’s not easy to explain in a mont or two. Just leave it be."
"What do you an, ’just leave it be’! Mu Shanshan, do you still consider
your close friend? No, you have to make things clear to
today. Marriage is no child’s play. If you don’t like Lin Fei, why force yourself to stay with him? Tell
the truth, do you like him or not? If you don’t, I’ll take charge, and tomorrow I’ll find soone to help you divorce him. With your conditions, you can find anyone you want, why must you—"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Before Xia Yutong could finish, Mu Shanshan, her eyes previously showing a hint of helplessness, imdiately rebuked the woman coldly.
If not for her series of contradictory actions today, which had indeed led to a misunderstanding from Xia Yutong, Mu Shanshan at this mont might already be showing her the door.
As Mu Shanshan, the Ice Queen CEO, had ntioned previously during dinner with Xia Yutong and Lin Fei, she initially had intentions to divorce Lin Fei. However, as she deepened her contact with Lin Fei, she had genuinely co to like and love Lin Fei.
Only, due to the fact that their relationship did not start as a normal romantic one, coupled with Lin Fei’s occasional absences at night, Mu Shanshan was not ready to fully accept Lin Fei.
"Seeing how you’re about to lash out at , you must indeed like that Lin Fei. So, now please tell
why you aren’t willing to share a room with Lin Fei? Don’t give
the excuse that you are unwell today, I don’t want to hear such childish excuses from you!"
"Just stop asking, this is a private matter between
and Lin Fei. I’m not obligated to tell you."
"I’ll give you three seconds to think it over; if you don’t talk, I’ll go find Lin Fei right now and tell him everything you’ve been instructing
to do. I’d like to see how you handle it then!"
Knowing Xia Yutong’s temperant, and wary that the woman might indeed go tell Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan hesitated for a while, thinking of their longstanding friendship.
Mu Shanshan bit her lower lip lightly, then, making up her mind, she leaned in close to Xia Yutong’s ear and softly explained...
