CHAPTER 874: CHAPTER 876: THE LAND OF TENDERNESS, LIN FEI’S SHACKLES

After listening to Shen Peini’s analysis of why Lin Fei left without a word.

Mu Shanshan, who had been silent with her head down for a while, suddenly looked up. Her clear eyes fixed unwaveringly on Shen Peini as she said, "According to what you said, Lin Fei returned to guard against me. So I ask you, if I continue to interfere in his private life like this, will he be unhappy? Or, someday in the future, will he choose to leave me because of this affair?"

After Mu Shanshan finished speaking, Shen Peini immediately denied it sharply, saying, "No! Absolutely not! President Mu, I can tell you with certainty. Lin Fei, he would never leave you because of this. If he really did so, then we must have misunderstood him."

"President Mu, you’ve known Lin Fei for more than just a day or two. You should know, Lin Fei is not a heartless or indifferent person. On the contrary, he is a person who values emotions deeply. It is because he values feelings that, even when you, President Mu, have shown him your affection, he still cannot sever the feelings he has with us."

"Even we, he is unwilling to give up, President Mu. Do you think he would ever abandon you? You know, the person Lin Fei likes the most is you, President Mu. I can’t think of any reason why Lin Fei would ever abandon you."

"I know everything you’ve said." Mu Shanshan nodded in agreement with Shen Peini’s words, her charming eyes revealing contemplation as she said, "However, there’s one thing, I don’t know if you’ve thought about it. Lin Fei, he actually doesn’t belong to our world."

"Although I don’t know exactly what Lin Fei used to do, from how quickly he saved my dad this time, I can guess a few things. He must have had some very special experiences in the past. Those experiences are not something we can meddle in. I worry that one day in the future, Lin Fei might grow tired of the ordinary life he has with us now and choose to leave. Just like he suddenly left without a word this time, leaving us to return to the country alone."

This was a concern that arose in Mu Shanshan’s heart after Lin Fei rescued Mu Hong. This worry quietly sprouted and spread in Mu Shanshan’s heart during her conversation with Mu Hong earlier.

For several days, this worry had been hidden deep in Mu Shanshan’s heart. Now, with Lin Fei’s sudden departure back home, it finally came out.

"President Mu, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Although I also know a little that Lin Fei must have had some special experiences in the past, I don’t understand why, with your outstanding qualities, you would worry that Lin Fei might suddenly leave you one day?"

Shen Peini really didn’t understand because Mu Shanshan was too perfect. So perfect that even with her own excellent qualities, whenever facing Mu Shanshan alone, Shen Peini couldn’t help but feel somewhat self-deprecating.

As a member of the Mu Group, Shen Peini knew far better than Xia Yutong and Yang Chenlong how vast the group of admirers Mu Shanshan had within the Mu Group and Zhonghai City.

If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, Shen Peini would never have believed that such a perfect woman like Mu Shanshan would worry about gaining or losing because of such a lazy man as Lin Fei.

Unbelievable!

Truly unbelievable, even though Mu Shanshan’s words were still fresh in her ears, Shen Peini still couldn’t believe it.

Initially, the combination of Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei, and the fact that Mu Shanshan genuinely fell in love with Lin Fei, was enough to astonish Shen Peini.

Now Mu Shanshan was telling her words that seemed to be lacking confidence.

Shen Peini really wanted to reach out and touch Mu Shanshan’s forehead, just to confirm whether Mu Shanshan had a fever and was confused.

"I know, my sudden words must be hard for you to understand. In fact, before Lin Fei came to New Star Forest, I didn’t have this kind of worry. However, after Lin Fei came to New Star Forest, during the few days you weren’t there, some things happened that made me have to reassess Lin Fei. In fact, Minister Shen, you’re not considered an outsider. If you’d like to listen, I can tell you all about it."

"I’d love to hear the details."

Regarding what Mu Shanshan mentioned, which changed her view of Lin Fei and even made her implicitly lack confidence in her relationship with Lin Fei.

Shen Peini was naturally very interested.

Noticing this, and receiving Shen Peini’s affirmative response, Mu Shanshan, after a brief contemplation, began to tell Shen Peini about when she and Lin Fei went to the Yang Family villa to celebrate Old Master Yang’s birthday, and how Xu Lengxuan and others behaved towards Yang Chenlong. And then how Lin Fei single-handedly rescued Mu Hong after he was taken hostage by pirates.

"... That’s how it was. If I hadn’t witnessed these things with my own eyes, I wouldn’t worry about whether Lin Fei would suddenly leave one day in the future. Minister Shen, you are a smart person, and you have some understanding of Lin Fei. I’d like to hear your thoughts."

"President Mu, my mind is really muddled right now. Give me some time to calm down."

"It seems your heart is troubled too. If I am not mistaken, you are now also worried about whether Lin Fei might leave one day in the future."

If it had been a few minutes ago, Shen Peini would have immediately denied Mu Shanshan’s words. However, now, with her feelings in complete turmoil, Shen Peini really couldn’t come up with any strong words to refute Mu Shanshan.

In fact, deep down, the woman started to feel some worry about Lin Fei leaving suddenly one day in the future.

Fortunately, Shen Peini was still Shen Peini. Compared to Mu Shanshan, her emotional intelligence was much higher.

After the initial confusion, Shen Peini took several deep breaths, moved closer to Mu Shanshan, and promptly took Mu Shanshan’s soft hand, "President Mu, what you’ve said indeed exceeds my previous understanding of Lin Fei. Perhaps, as you guessed, Lin Fei has extraordinary experiences and identities. And once your guess proves true, there’s a very real possibility that one day Lin Fei might suddenly leave in the future. To prevent Lin Fei from suddenly leaving one day in the future, I have a request for you, President Mu."

"What is it?"

"A gentle township, a hero’s tomb. As long as you, President Mu, are willing to put in the effort, given Lin Fei’s feelings for you, and your own qualities, I have plenty of ways to permanently trap Lin Fei in your gentle embrace, making him reluctant to leave."

With Shen Peini’s extraordinary emotional intelligence and understanding of Lin Fei, once Mu Shanshan accepts her deliberate guidance, Lin Fei’s infatuation with Mu Shanshan is bound to rise to a whole new level...
