Chapter 870: Chapter 872: Be With Minister Shen

New Star Forest’s certain bay.

A luxury yacht belonging to Xia Yutong’s family.

For Lin Fei, who was also on the luxury yacht, Xia Yutong was largely unwelcoming.

“Hey Lin, why did you follow us? Did I ever say I was inviting you to our family’s yacht?! Didn’t I tell you, you don’t have to worry, Vice Minister Shen will handle it. Starting now, no, starting thirty minutes ago. You’re no longer Vice Minister Shen’s guide, you’ve been dismissed, so you should go wherever you want. If you really don’t know where to go, I’d suggest you hurry back to the hotel to accompany Shanshan.”

“Shanshan is in a meeting, surrounded by a bunch of people, she doesn’t need my company right now, that’s the first thing. The second thing is, Vice Minister Shen never said she was dismissing me, it’s always been you talking to yourself. The third thing is, if you really think I shouldn’t be on your family’s yacht, I can call Xiao Long now and have him bring over a new yacht for me. You have five seconds to decide whether to let me stay on your family’s yacht.”

“Hey Lin, you—”

“Alright, alright, it’s my fault for this.” Seeing that Xia Yutong was about to continue arguing with Lin Fei, Shen Pei, beside Xia Yutong, spoke up at the right time to mediate, saying, “Miss Xia, after all, it was me who called Vice Minister Lin. If you want to kick Vice Minister Lin out now, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave with him.”

“Hmph! For Vice Minister Shen’s sake, I’ll reluctantly let you stay on our family’s yacht. However, you must keep your distance from the two of us. And don’t go reporting today’s events to Shanshan. If you dare spill the beans, in the future I, I—”

After thinking for half the day, Xia Yutong couldn’t think of anything she could use to threaten Lin Fei with, unwilling to lose face in front of Shen Peini.

Thus, the woman snorted coldly and simply couldn’t be bothered with Lin Fei anymore.

Xia Yutong hooked Shen Peini’s arm and, with a rather disdainful glance at Lin Fei, said, “Minister Shen, let’s go over there, let me treat you to some red wine.”

As Xia Yutong walked a couple of steps with Shen Peini, she did not forget to proudly turn back to warn Lin Fei, “Hey Lin, I’m warning you, don’t follow us. Seriously, I don’t understand why you’re so thick-skinned, not having an ounce of self-awareness as a third wheel. If I were you, I would absolutely be embarrassed to stay here now.”

The one who should be embarrassed to stay probably is you!

Originally, if Xia Yutong hadn’t said this, Lin Fei, though unhappy that Xia Yutong barged in, unwittingly hindering his private meeting with Shen Peini.

However, considering that Xia Yutong had good intentions after all, and her familiarity with the New Star Forest far exceeded his.

If Xia Yutong acted as the guide, Shen Peini might enjoy herself at the New Star Forest to a greater extent.

Thus, Lin Fei was unhappy about Xia Yutong’s intrusion but didn’t have a strong desire to drive her away.

However, with Xia Yutong’s typical “thief crying thief” scolding, Lin Fei was clearly agitated.

Right after Xia Yutong finished speaking, Lin Fei directly took out his phone and pretended to dial Yang Chenlong’s number, “Hey, Xiao Long. I don’t care what you’re doing right now, stop everything immediately. It’s not that I want to bother you, I’m really being disliked by Xia Yutong.”

“Yes, yes, she’s the one who came to your house that night in front of so many people asking for someone. There’s nothing I can do; I’m on her family’s yacht right now. She dislikes me, so you’d better find a yacht to come over right away and pick me up. I’ll send you the address. Yes, as soon as possible.”

After speaking, Lin Fei pretended to send a message on his phone.

Though it was a pretense, Lin Fei’s previous apparent “complaint” conversation with Yang Chenlong was enough to cause Xia Yutong to be genuinely frightened.

If there’s one person in this world whose very name makes Xia Yutong tremble.

That person would undoubtedly be Xia Yutong herself.

From the instant paleness of the woman’s face after Lin Fei’s words, one could tell a thing or two.

“Uh, Vice Minister Shen, I, I just remembered. I, I have an appointment with a friend, to, to discuss something very important. So, so I’m afraid I can’t be your guide today. Anyway, since Lin Fei is still here, just, just let him continue to be your guide. The yacht, the yacht I, I’ll leave it to you two. I, I have to go.”

Suppressing the fear in her heart, with a pale face, Xia Yutong stuttered slightly to concoct an excuse for her escape. Not caring about Shen Peini’s reaction, Xia Yutong directly ordered the staff on the yacht to turn around and head back.

…

“Who is this Xiao Long you mentioned, and why is Miss Xia so afraid of him?”

After Xia Yutong was frightened away by Lin Fei’s fake call to Yang Chenlong, Shen Peini, having noticed something, curiously asked Lin Fei once the yacht set sail again.

“Xiao Long is a good brother of mine and the future heir of the Xinya Department Store Group’s Yang family. Because of some misunderstandings, Xia Yutong is quite scared of him.” Lin Fei casually answered Shen Peini, then boldly wrapped his arm around her slender waist, “I feel there’s no need for us to discuss Xia Yutong anymore. Now, it’s our private time. I think we should discuss more personal topics. Like, whether we spend the night on the yacht or find a hotel with some character?”

“Little brother, it seems it’s still just the afternoon. Before discussing where to sleep tonight, shouldn’t you prepare a loving dinner for me like you did for Mr. Ling when you prepared his working meal?”

After Shen Peini finished speaking, Lin Fei, without any hesitation, released the woman, turned around, and went into the cabin to prepare a loving dinner for her.

Just as Lin Fei went down into the cabin, not sure yet what kind of loving dinner to prepare for Shen Peini, his phone rang.

The call was from Mu Shanshan.

After a slight hesitation, knowing Mu Shanshan’s temperament well, Lin Fei answered the call.

“Wife, what’s up?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m at—Xiao Long’s place, we are discussing some private matters.”

“Five minutes ago, I already called Xiao Long.” After exposing Lin Fei’s lie, Mu Shanshan, without much intent to scold Lin Fei, spoke in her usual indifferent tone, neither happy nor sad, “An hour ago, I confirmed with the employees staying in Ruguo. If I’m not mistaken, you should be with Vice Minister Shen now, right?”

Though it was a question, Mu Shanshan’s tone was—clearly affirmative…
