CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 874: LIN FEI’S MELANCHOLY AND HIS ESCAPE BACK HOME

Shen Peini rushed to New Star Forest from Luo Country on the third day.

Yang Family Villa.

By the outdoor swimming pool.

Yang Chenlong, who was pulled by Lin Fei to drink with him, couldn’t suppress his doubts after having a few drinks with Lin Fei. He asked Lin Fei, "Boss, you wouldn’t be having some trouble, would you? If you are, just tell me, I’ll help you solve it no matter what. Letting me drink with you without saying anything really takes the fun out of drinking."

"I am indeed facing some trouble, but you can’t help me."

"Boss, saying that kind of hurts our relationship. If you’re facing some trouble back in Mo Country, maybe I really couldn’t help much. But since you’re here in New Star Forest now, no matter what trouble you’re facing, I’ll find a way to help you solve it. Just speak; I really want to hear about who’s daring enough to cause trouble for you! No matter whose family they belong to, since they’ve troubled you, I absolutely—"

"Your sister-in-law."

"...Haha, Boss, look, the weather’s nice today. Come, I’ll toast you a drink."

Yang Chenlong, who selectively forgot his promise to help Lin Fei solve his troubles, attempted to ask Lin Fei curiously after downing a drink, "Boss, I remember the other day you seemed really close with sister-in-law. You were proposing to her, and helped rescue her father. How come within a few days you’re now having conflicts with her?"

"Things concerning relationships can’t always be explained clearly."

"There’s nothing that can’t be explained; it’s just a matter of whether you want to talk. From what I see, since it’s just the two of us here, you should just tell me. If you let it out, maybe you’d feel a bit better, Boss."

"The private matters between me and your sister-in-law are not for you to know."

Some family matters really can’t be explained to outsiders.

Even to sworn brothers.

Like when Mu Shanshan confronted Lin Fei about restricting his private life.

This is the root of Lin Fei’s melancholy.

Three days ago, after Mu Shanshan called Lin Fei, who was privately meeting with Shen Peini, back to the hotel to confront him, the first thing she did to interfere in Lin Fei’s private life was to have Shen Peini stay with her!

Say what you do, do what you say! Hands-on approach!

This is the accurate evaluation from many commercial media in Zhonghai City about Mu Shanshan’s management style.

Regarding relationship issues, she acts the same way.

Having Shen Peini sleep with her was to completely sever Lin Fei’s possibility of rolling over to Shen Peini at night. According to Mu Shanshan, this is just the beginning!

"Since you have proposed to me and I’ve accepted your proposal, you should just love only me from now on."

These were the only words Mu Shanshan said to Lin Fei in the past three days.

To some extent, this can also be understood as Mu Shanshan’s way of handling their future relationship problems.

Simply put, there will be many more instances where she will make arrangements like having Shen Peini share a room with her.

Lin Fei can no longer expect to frequently stay out overnight or temporarily forget his marital relationship with Mu Shanshan as he did when they first were married.

In turn, going to find other women to develop extramarital relationships.

Mu Shanshan clearly won’t let it slide anymore.

This is the root of Lin Fei’s worry and melancholy.

Although Mu Shanshan made such a decision largely because she has truly positioned herself as the daughter-in-law of the Lin Family.

This is definitely great news for Lin Fei.

After all, from the bottom of his heart, Lin Fei has genuinely accepted Mu Shanshan as his wife. Now Mu Shanshan can truly acknowledge him and additionally, she positioned herself as the Lin Family’s daughter-in-law.

According to Mu Shanshan’s character, reaching this understanding within the half-a-year since she married Lin Fei is quite rare.

This is why, when Mu Shanshan intervened in his private life, Lin Fei couldn’t counteract effectively!

Rightfully, logically.

Mu Shanshan, with the "daughter-in-law exclusive" necklace, had a justified and reasonable reason to interfere in Lin Fei’s private life.

Moreover, though the woman had taken action, she left Lin Fei with some leeway.

For example, Mu Shanshan only used work reasons to have Shen Peini sleep with her instead of directly severing Lin Fei’s relationship with Shen Peini or using her power to outright fire Shen Peini.

Boiling frog slowly!

At this time, Mu Shanshan’s attitude towards Lin Fei is like slow cooking. This reasonable and logical slow-cook attitude is why Lin Fei simply couldn’t muster any power to retaliate.

A wife’s emotional intelligence grows too rapidly, leaving the husband only melancholy!

...

"Boss, since you don’t want to say more, I won’t ask. It’s you and sister-in-law’s private matter. I don’t really understand much about relationship matters. But there’s one thing I must remind you of, Boss: from the fact that you rescued her father, I could tell. Sister-in-law, she really loves you. To find such an impossibly perfect and very loving woman like her—if Boss keeps bickering over some trivial marital issues with sister-in-law, it’s really unnecessary."

"If it were just some trivial marital issues, why would I be so melancholic," sighed Lin Fei, giving a pat to Yang Chenlong’s shoulder casually, "You’ll understand once you get married; some matters become cumbersome precisely because of deep love."

With one sentence, Lin Fei captured the essence of his current melancholy.

If it were merely out of lust that he got involved with Shen Peini, Ling Weiwei, and others, things would be simpler.

However, the fact is, it’s not like that.

Despite the frivolity due to pressure and the need for release during the earlier years mixed in the international mercenary battlefield, Lin Fei indeed had a period of reckless indulgence.

However, the relationship between Lin Fei and Shen Peini and the other women clearly is not like that.

True feelings have long been generated between them.

Feelings are inherently mysterious, once they arise, they are challenging to easily let go of, virtually impossible.

Mu Shanshan’s shift in attitude towards their marital feelings indeed is good news for Lin Fei.

But if it means for Lin Fei to completely sever his emotions with Shen Peini and the other women.

Lin Fei, clearly couldn’t do it.

"Help me book the nearest flight to Zhonghai City, I need to return to the country."

Thinking of Mu Shanshan’s decisive moves, knowing that staying in New Star Forest would only mean passive defenses, Lin Fei was determined not to remain passive upon returning to the country.

Lin Fei decided to return to the country ahead of Mu Shanshan to prepare...
