Mu Tingfeng’s expression slightly darkened. “Why?”


  “Why? Isn’t it obvious?” Zhao Youlin sneered as if she finally found a channel to vent out her anger. She spewed out Mu Tingfeng’s weaknesses without hesitation, “Who always has a woodblock for a face, and whose smiles are as rare as a blue moon?! It’s as if his facial muscles are all stiff. Who would want to stay with a person like that?!”


  The person whose facial muscles were all stiff, fell speechless…


  “Who would want to be with scum who does not come home even once in half a month?! And see the scum with his mistress when seeing him was already rarer than a phoenix!”


  The scum was speechless…


  “Above all, you’re impotent! Who would want to ruin the rest of her life by marrying a man who seems good in bed, but is lousy, only has a pretty face, but is useless because he can’t get it up?!”


  The man who had a pretty face, but was useless because he could not get it up, fell speechless…


  “All in all, I will have a few screws loose in my head if I ever fall under your spell! I am not prone to self-harm. How can I be so dumb to jump into a pit that is clearly right in front of me?!”


  The person who was perceived to have dug the fire pit was speechless…


  Meanwhile, Xia Zhetao had been cowering at the corner and unseen by the two overheard all Zhao Youlin’s scathing remarks. He covered his eyes with his hands as if he could barely watch them. It was best to turn a blind eye to this.

  ‘Oh my, no wonder she is the former Mrs. President. Even though most of what she said seemed to be true, and most of the people knew about this, they wouldn’t have the guts to say them in that person’s face!’


  Zhao Youlin got a kick out of cussing Mu Tingfeng. Only then did her anger slowly subsided, especially when Mu Tingfeng was rendered speechless and looked dumbfounded. She felt exhilarated.

  Unfortunately, when she looked down, she saw Mu Tingfeng was still grabbing her hand tightly. Her face darkened, and she shouted, “Let go of my hand!”


  Mu Tingfeng was snapped out of his daze. He did not loosen his grip. Instead, he tightened his grip and said, “No way!”


  The two confronted each other face to face. One wanted to pull out her hand from his grip, while the other would not let go of her even if it cost his life. The temperature in the atmosphere instantly dropped below absolute zero.

  Xia Zhetao thought to himself, “President, Former Mrs. President, are the two of you three-year-old kids? How can you two fight over something as childish as this? You guys are not quarreling. You are actually flaunting your affection and forcing a single man to watch you two flirting, okay?!’


  Each time when Xia Zhetao looked up, he was greeted by the sight of his superior flaunting affection with his superior’s wife. This was really a tormenting sight to behold. ‘I’m so tired of this. I won’t dare to fall in love again!’


  Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin had no idea that her rejection was interpreted as trying to play hard to get by Mu Tingfeng. As such, the scoundrel had completely pissed her off. She stepped on Mu Tingfeng’s expensive leather shoes.

  Indeed, it was truly painful when one was stepped on by a dozen centimeters heel height. The moment Zhao Youlin mercilessly stepped on Mu Tingfeng’s foot, Mu Tingfeng, who had always kept his cool under fire, could not help but twist his ever stoic face for a few seconds.

  Xia Zhetao was lucky to be able to witness such a brutal sight. He quietly took a few steps back. He resolved to himself that in the future, Mrs. President would be the last person on earth that he would ever want to offend. Not everyone could endure such an exotic experience!

  Zhao Youlin took advantage of Mu Tingfeng’s pain by swiftly pulling her hand out of his grip within the blink of an eye. She rubbed her reddened wrist and cursed him, “Pervert!” Then, she immediately dashed out in her heels.

  Mu Tingfeng fell speechless.

  Xia Zhetao thought to himself, ‘Why did the sight look so… familiar?’


  Right after Zhao Youlin left, Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong returned.

  As the two had expected, Sun Fengzi threw a tantrum immediately after she left Zhao Youlin’s office. However, Sun Fengzi did not make a big fuss out of it due to Mu Tingfeng’s previous threatening and Zhao Shunrong’s presence. She left after cursing the air for a while.

  When the two pushed open the office door, they were greeted by Mu Tingfeng and Xia Zhetao. Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin who was supposed to be inside was nowhere to be found.

  They froze. Duan Yarong looked around in a puzzle and asked faintly, “Where’s Youlin?”


  Mu Tingfeng remained speechless. Xia Zhetao had to bite the bullet and explained to them, “Ms. Zhao happened to have some affairs and so, she went out.”


  “Went out?” Duan Yarong said in a low voice. But, she did not suspect much. She wondered why Zhao Youlin went out when she just got a shock not long ago. She could not help but be a little worried.

  Duan Yarong was so focused on Zhao Youlin that she did not notice the difference between the two. But, that did not mean that everyone was the same as her.

  The moment Zhao Shunrong stepped into the office, he keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. His eyes sparkled especially after hearing from Xia Zhetao.

  This was Zhao Youlin’s office. Even if Zhao Youlin had to leave the office due to some affairs, she would have certainly asked the two people out first. But… the two were still around even after Zhao Youlin had left.

  Zhao Shunrong was a very smart person. He thought over every bit and piece and soon, he was almost able to figure out the entire story. The way he looked at Mu Tingfeng and Xia Zhetao grew increasingly profound.

  “Youlin was a little shocked just now. President Mu, you’ve injured your hand. Although it’s bandaged, it’s better to visit a doctor just in case. We’ll put aside today’s matter. President Mu, you may go back to take a rest first. We’ll schedule another appointment to talk about today’s partnership.”


  Zhao Shunrong’s words were similar to Mu Tingfeng’s, with a hint of asking them to leave.

  Mu Tingfeng’s expression turned dark. It had taken him great pain to speak out his mind. He did not want to go back home without getting any response.

  Just as Mu Tingfeng was about to burst out, Xia Zhetao hurriedly pulled him and whispered to him, “President, haste makes waste. Judging from Ms. Zhao’s character, it would only make things worse if you force her.”


  Mu Tingfeng’s expression changed slightly. He fell silent for a moment before he said, “Let her rest well, then.”


  Zhao Shunrong did not expect Mu Tingfeng to say only those words after pausing for a long while. He was caught in a puzzle. At the same time, his eyes were filled with questioning glances and complications.

  “Youlin is our daughter.” In other words, ‘We will naturally look after our daughter.’


  Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered. But, he did not say anything further and left Zhao Enterprise with Xia Zhetao.

  Right after Mu Tingfeng left, Duan Yarong heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately went out to look for Zhao Youlin.

  Duan Yarong had not recovered from the horror of the elevator incident. She did not want Zhao Youlin to be out of her sight as she was afraid that something might go wrong again.

  After Zhao Youlin left her office, she went outside and found a place to lie low until the fuss died down. Duan Yarong easily found Zhao Youlin when she asked someone for her whereabouts.

  Duan Yarong let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Youlin was fine. She sat opposite her and said, “Youlin…”


  “Mother, you’re back.” Zhao Youlin did not expect Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong to return so early. Zhao Youlin was a little awkward, and she asked tentatively, “How about the two people inside the office…”


  “They’ve been driven away by your father,” Duan Yarong’s gaze sank when Zhao Youlin took the initiative to bring up about Mu Tingfeng. Then, she asked cautiously, “Youlin, are you sure you are… ready to remarry… with President Mu?”


  “Pfff!”
