Chapter 898 - 900: Princess Tricks of the Bilabo Royal Family
CHAPTER 898: CHAPTER 900: PRINCESS TRICKS OF THE BILABO ROYAL FAMILY
It’s been three days since Shen Peini told Lin Fei she wanted to have her own baby.
Three days, not too long, but not too short either.
However, for Lin Fei, these three days were absolutely blissful.
Knowing that she couldn’t become the godmother of Chu Si, Shen Peini was determined not to be overshadowed by Ling Weiwei in this matter. As such, Shen Peini called Lin Fei to her office every day for three days straight.
Because of this, Lin Fei has been exceptionally enthusiastic about going to work these past three days.
So much so that small rumors began to circulate within the Mu Group, that Lin Fei had undergone a change and started working hard.
Rumors come to an end with the wise; when the gossip about Lin Fei’s transformation and dedication reached Mu Shanshan’s ears, being familiar with Lin Fei’s personality, Mu Shanshan keenly detected something amiss.
"Shen Xuan, go find Lin Fei for me."
"Yes, President Mu."
Noticing Mu Shanshan’s unusual expression, Shen Xuan dared not hesitate and immediately left to carry out the order.
As Mu Shanshan’s top secretary, with a hint of becoming the head of the Mu Group’s secretarial department, Shen Xuan’s efficiency was naturally first-rate.
Three minutes after Shen Xuan left Mu Shanshan’s CEO office, Lin Fei was standing directly in front of Mu Shanshan.
"Wife, is there something you need me for?"
"Sit over there and think about whether you’ve done anything to betray me lately. If you can’t think of anything, just sit there and keep thinking. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to leave my office before the end of the workday."
Familiar with Lin Fei’s temperament, Mu Shanshan, too busy with work to argue with him, casually addressed him with a few words before lowering her head to continue handling her tasks.
"Wife, I have a rather impudent request."
"Speak."
"Sitting is too tiring, can I go lie down in your lounge?"
After Lin Fei finished speaking, Mu Shanshan didn’t immediately respond. Instead, she paused before continuing to bury herself in the pile of documents on her desk.
Just when Lin Fei thought Mu Shanshan had tacitly agreed to his temporary occupation of her inner lounge,
Mu Shanshan casually closed the file, got up,
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Rising from the leather swivel chair, Mu Shanshan walked over to Lin Fei with an imposing stride.
Then, her limpid eyes, akin to a deep, cold well, stared unblinkingly at Lin Fei. Her delicate lips parted slightly as she spoke one word at a time in a cold voice, "These past few days, didn’t you get enough sleep in Minister Shen’s office?"
Damn, I knew being called over during work hours couldn’t be a good thing.
Feeling a cold sweat break out under Mu Shanshan’s intense gaze, Lin Fei knew it was best not to linger.
Thus, he concocted a random excuse, planning to slip away.
But just as Lin Fei was about to speak, Mu Shanshan’s icy two words forced him to swallow his words.
"Trying to leave?"
"Wife, actually I really want to stay here with you. It’s just that I have some very urgent work to handle on my end. It’s really something I can’t delay, so—" Halfway through his sentence, noticing the accumulating icy chill in Mu Shanshan’s charming eyes, Lin Fei wisely changed his tone, "Actually, in my heart, nothing is more important than being with you. So, I think, I’ll just stay here."
Lin Fei’s timely change of tone wasn’t enough to completely dissipate Mu Shanshan’s anger.
After holding his gaze for quite a while with her mesmerizing eyes, Mu Shanshan, uncertain of how to deal with Lin Fei, decided, in her indecision, to simply ignore him.
"Go sit over there, you’re not allowed to leave my office before the end of the workday!"
...
While Lin Fei was temporarily confined to the CEO office by Mu Shanshan, a certain ancient medieval castle far from Zhonghai City in the Western Continent stood.
Since Lin Fei’s retirement, Xue Zhi, one of the four leaders of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, temporarily took over handling various internal affairs.
With a feeling of frustration a hundred times worse than Lin Fei’s at the moment, Xue Zhi reluctantly stepped into the castle.
From the outside, this rather ancient medieval castle exuded a classic charm. However, it did not impede the modern-style interior decoration and the only available modern utilities inside.
This was an ancient castle refurbished from the inside. Similar castles from the medieval age could be counted on two hands across the entire Western Continent.
You can’t buy it no matter how wealthy you are!
That’s not an exaggeration; such an ancient castle itself is a status symbol. Ordinary rich folks, regardless of how much money they spend, simply cannot touch it.
Thus, it’s easy to deduce that the owner of this castle is undoubtedly someone wealthy or noble.
And indeed, that’s the case. The owner of the castle, who can summon someone as famous in the International Mercenary World as Xue Zhi, one of the four leaders of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, with just a phone call,
is naturally no ordinary person.
Bilabo’s king’s legitimate daughter, third in line for the royal succession—Tricks!
To put it bluntly, the owner of this castle is the princess of Bilabo.
Additionally, she is one of the people Xue Zhi least wants to face.
The reason Xue Zhi is reluctant to face Tricks isn’t because she doesn’t live up to the title of princess or isn’t particularly attractive.
Quite the contrary, since turning eighteen, Tricks has been dubbed the most beautiful woman in the Western Continent within the circle of the elites.
With cascading golden-brown waves, delicate eyebrows, radiant eyes. A straight, delicate nose, ruby lips with pearly white teeth. A long, graceful neck, and a proud, full bust. Skin as smooth as porcelain, beautifully luminous.
Compared to Oriental women, Tricks, being Caucasian, has an exceptional allure.
An absolute beauty, whether judged by Western or Eastern standards, Tricks, as Bilabo’s first princess, is considered the top tier of beauty.
Even compared to the enchanting Mu Shanshan, Tricks is no less.
However, amongst those Xue Zhi least wants to face, Tricks holds a solid place in the top three. At times, she could even rank number one.
The reason is simple; for most, Tricks is Bilabo’s princess, a representative of the royal family.
But for Xue Zhi, the identity of Tricks that he respects yet feels utterly helpless about isn’t princess.
It’s sister-in-law!
Yes, sister-in-law!
Simply put, while outsiders see Tricks as an illustrious representative of the Bilabo royal family, someone considered a dream girl by countless elite men in Western high society,
she is Lin Fei’s woman!
Outsiders may not be clear about the relationship between Tricks and Lin Fei, but as Lin Fei’s brother through life and death, Xue Zhi is well aware.
And that is precisely the main reason Xue Zhi hesitates to face Tricks...
