Chapter 922: Chapter 924: Attempting to Sign ng Ke’er, the Goddess of Mu (Part 1)
"Miss ng, I’m really sorry. I’ve been quite busy lately, and I probably won’t be able to find the ti to have dinner with you in the short term. I appreciate your kindness, but saving you twice was just a casual act on my part. So, you really don’t need to keep it in mind. Besides, didn’t you already send
eight concert tickets earlier? So, we’re even. You really don’t need to thank
further."
Even if you want to thank , you can’t do it in front of my wife and invite
to dinner alone!
This is like blatantly telling my wife there’s sothing fishy between us!
Although, deep down, Lin Fei doesn’t actually reject the idea of having dinner alone with ng Ke’er. Even if it ans, after dinner, engaging in so private matters between a man and a woman.
Lin Fei could accept that.
But, in front of Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, Lin Fei clearly could only refuse ng Ke’er ruthlessly.
If he nodded his head in agreent, the question was whether Lin Fei would even make it out of Mu Shanshan’s CEO office alive.
"Mr. Lin, are you refusing to have dinner with
because you were frightened by what happened last night, and thus bla
in your heart? Or is it because I didn’t also invite President Mu?"
Lin Fei’s straightforward refusal did not deter ng Ke’er. After all, the reason ng Ke’er went through so much trouble to co to Zhonghai City for a concert was none other than to get close to Lin Fei.
Now that they’ve finally t and have a decent excuse to be close, even in front of Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, ng Ke’er, a globally renowned pop star, was not about to give up easily.
Having realized that ng Ke’er was not willing to back down and even had the intention of coaxing Lin Fei away in front of her, how could Mu Shanshan remain silent? The woman imdiately began to retreat in order to advance and started speaking sarcastically.
"Lin Fei, since Miss ng is so grateful, as I see it, since you have nothing else to do today, you might as well accompany Miss ng for a casual al. It would be good to fulfill Miss ng’s wish. If you keep rejecting Miss ng, it might cause her to misunderstand and think it’s because of
that you’re turning her down. Such a misunderstanding I cannot afford."
Darn, I’d love to go, but only if you would actually allow it!
Having been married for more than half a year, Lin Fei certainly couldn’t fail to grasp Mu Shanshan’s sarcasm.
Thus, fully aware that he was caught in the crossfire between the two won, Lin Fei silently cursed to himself before he had any thought of staying longer in the CEO office.
"Honey, Miss ng might not know, but you surely do. Because of Keke’s matter, I’ve been really busy lately. Where could I possibly find the ti to accompany Miss ng for dinner? In my opinion, why don’t you accompany Miss ng for dinner on my behalf? Keke should be waking up soon, so I’ll head ho first."
Casually making an excuse, Lin Fei flung ng Ke’er back to Mu Shanshan without any hesitation. With a casual goodbye to ng Ke’er, Lin Fei imdiately turned and left.
Seeing Lin Fei’s rather tactful departure, Mu Shanshan, whose anger slightly subsided, turned her gentle gaze directly towards ng Ke’er and said, "Lin Fei is just that kind of impatient person, I hope Miss ng can understand. As for you wanting to invite Lin Fei to dinner, I think it’s better to forget about it! After all, besides Lin Fei being unavailable recently, you’re also a globally renowned pop star, and your ti is quite valuable!"
Being an icy CEO at the helm of the vast Mu Group, Mu Shanshan’s words, even when facing soone as globally renowned as ng Ke’er, were not lacking in a sense of pressure.
In fact, it was due to Lin Fei’s tactfulness that he stood on her side. Otherwise, Mu Shanshan would never simply suggest with such oppressive words for ng Ke’er to back down on her own.
As early as at the New Star Forest, it had already been expressed that there was a desire to interfere in Lin Fei’s private life. With that, Mu Shanshan, always valuing high efficiency, naturally wouldn’t just be saying it lightly.
Relatively speaking, the previously excited ng Ke’er, due to Lin Fei’s arrival.
And due to Mu Shanshan’s implicit bluntness as well as her words that seed like sending her away, ng Ke’er’s expression undoubtedly fell quite a bit.
After Mu Shanshan finished speaking, ng Ke’er, who had been silent for a while, sighed wistfully and said, "President Mu, maybe you really misunderstood . I’m not soone who lacks self-awareness. With Vice Minister Lin’s caliber, I clearly understand that I am not worthy of him, no matter what. I wasn’t before, and now I’m about to be shelved by my company, even more so I can’t be worthy of him."
"To be honest with President Mu, the reason I ca uninvited to your company to find Vice Minister Lin this ti is that I wanted to seize the chance to have a al with him before the company officially shelves , taking advantage of what little fa I have left. That’s all I want."
After saying this much, ng Ke’er, with a somber expression, took a deep breath and, with a hint of pleading in her gaze, looked directly at Mu Shanshan, saying, "President Mu, I beg you. Please lend Lin Fei to
for the amount of ti it takes for a al. I really just want to have a simple al with Lin Fei. I won’t be a threat to your relationship with Lin Fei in any way. After all, I’m about to be shelved by the company. Once I’m shelved, Lin Fei will probably forget about
in no ti."
"The reason I’m so insistent on having a al with Lin Fei is that I want to, while Lin Fei hasn’t forgotten about
yet, leave myself with so mories to cherish. President Mu, I beg you, let Lin Fei have a al with . If you are concerned, we can all have a al together, and I’d be satisfied with that."
As she spoke the last words, ng Ke’er’s tone already carried a hint of sobbing, and in her pretty eyes, a mist seed to rise.
The atmosphere within the entire CEO office seed to turn lancholic with ng Ke’er’s narrative.
Even soone as naturally aloof as Mu Shanshan was inevitably influenced to so extent after hearing ng Ke’er’s heartfelt words.
However, being influenced was one thing, after pondering for a mont, Mu Shanshan shook her head in rejection towards ng Ke’er and said, "Lin Fei is my husband. I can’t possibly agree to let my husband have dinner with a woman who’s interested in him. At least, not for now."
After finishing her words, without giving ng Ke’er a chance to respond, Mu Shanshan continued, "However, if Miss ng doesn’t mind, I’d like to know why your company intends to shelve you?"
