Chapter 255 - Spoonfeeding Continues (1)
The two people’s gazes were clashing. One was murderous, while the other one was as calm as water.
In the end, Mu Tingfeng took the lead to break the silence. He leisurely said something that sounded very familiar to Zhao Youlin, “You promised my mom to take good care of me.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. ‘Bro, you use the same reason every time. Aren’t you tired? I’m tired.’
But Zhao Youlin found that she had no way to refute such a simple reason. She could only suffer this loss angrily. Then, she snorted and said, “I get it.”
Mu Tingfeng looked at Zhao Youlin, who turned away in anger. Only unwillingness and irritation were left in her eyes, which were usually filled with pride and confidence. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up as he found Zhao Youlin to be cute for no reason.
That was right, she was cute. If the usual Zhao Youlin was a coquettish, bright, and venomous snake that might come to you at any time and give you a lethal bite, then at that moment, she was simply a cat that would easily get angry when being teased. She was very cute.
If Zhao Youlin knew what Mu Tingfeng was thinking right now, she would definitely hit his face with that food jar and scold, “Pervert!”
However, she concentrated on putting the empty food jar into the bag she had brought right now. At the same time, she was cursing Mu Tingfeng for being insatiable. She did not realize how explicit the gaze of the person beside her was.
Finally, Zhao Youlin finished cleaning up. Before she could let out a sigh of relief, Mu Tingfeng’s next instruction came.
“I want some fruit.”
The corners of Zhao Youlin’s mouth that had not yet been fully curled up suddenly froze. Her eyes widened, and she turned to look at Mu Tingfeng in a daze. “What did you just say?”
Mu Tingfeng looked at Zhao Youlin’s surprised expression and frowned as he did not understand what was wrong with his words.
“I want some fruit.”
‘Darn it, I really didn’t hear it wrongly. This person still wants to eat! He just finished eating such a big jar of porridge, and he wanted to eat fruit now. I wonder what this man’s stomach looks like. He can eat more than a pig!’
“It’s not good for your health to eat fruit right after finishing a meal.” The corners of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched. After hesitating for a long time, she found a more reasonable excuse.
Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered a few times after he heard that. After a long time, he said, “I want to eat.”
What Zhao Youlin hated most now was what Mu Tingfeng just said. Her expression darkened, and she crossed her arms. Then, her gaze continued to clash with Mu Tingfeng’s gaze.
Mu Tingfeng was not in a hurry. He just stared at the person in front of him silently and motionlessly.
Silence once again spread in the ward. At that moment, the sound of a needle falling on the floor might be extremely clear.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Youlin was the one who lost the battle this time.
But Zhao Youlin would not admit that she was afraid of Mu Tingfeng. She just did not want to argue with a patient. Right, that was it.
Zhao Youlin sighed and resignedly glanced at several fruits on the table. She asked, “Say, what do you want to eat?”
A faint smiling intention flashed in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes. His gaze turned and stopped at the few yellow crystal pears on the table.
“Pear. You peel it.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless.
This guy really ordered her around as if she was a nanny. Zhao Youlin gritted her teeth and picked up the shiny fruit knife with a gloomy look. She vented her anger on the innocent fruits on the table.
‘Eat. Eat. Eat. You better die from eating. With the Mu family’s financial resources, it won’t be a problem to feed several big eaters anyway. Why should I worry about it?
‘I wish this guy would empty the Mu family’s money by eating sooner, and then disappear from my sight sooner!’
With such a thought, Zhao Youlin chopped the biggest crystal pear on the table brutally.
Chop. The pear full of juices fully demonstrated its good quality at this moment. The splashed juice directly splashed on the face of a certain someone on the hospital bed.
Zhao Youlin, who was still holding a fruit knife, was speechless.
President Mu, who had been splashed with pear juice on his face, was speechless as well.
“Pfft, hahaha…” Zhao Youlin held back for a long time, and finally, she could not hold it back. She put down the fruit knife. Then, she pointed at the embarrassed Mu Tingfeng and laughed loudly.
Mu Tingfeng felt the stickiness on his face, and his face immediately darkened. Just when he was about to let out cold air, he heard Zhao Youlin’s laugh at this moment.
He raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhao Youlin. A little bit of rare astonishment appeared on his face.
This was the first time that Zhao Youlin had smiled so happily in front of him. In the past, Zhao Youlin always gave him a sarcastic, mocking smile or a distant, cold smile when she faced him. Never before had she smiled freely and frankly like this.
Mu Tingfeng was stunned as he looked at Zhao Youlin like this. Even the discomfort on his face became less unacceptable. “You’re very happy?”
“Cough. Cough…” Mu Tingfeng’s question finally made Zhao Youlin stop smiling. She coughed twice as she found that she seemed a little bit over. After all, the reason why Mu Tingfeng had become like this seemed to be related to herself.
With a guilty conscience, Zhao Youlin picked up the tissues on the table. She hesitated for a while and wiped the juice off Mu Tingfeng’s face on her own.
Who knew that she felt like laughing even more the more she thought about it? Although she tried her best to endure it, the arc of the corners of her lips and the gloating that could not be hidden from the under of her eyes still revealed that she was in a good mood at the moment.
Mu Tingfeng was almost fascinated as he looked at the person in front of him. This was Zhao Youlin, whom he had never seen before. She had the laziness, arrogance, and a little bit of conceited cleverness of a Persian cat. It was unexpectedly enticing.
Mu Tingfeng found that the more he got along with the person in front of him, the more he could discover another side of her that he had never noticed before. She was dazzling and fascinating, making people getting addicted to her.
Before Mu Tingfeng came back to his senses from this accidental discovery, Zhao Youlin had stood up and thrown the tissues into the dust bin. She said, “Done.”
Mu Tingfeng seemed to awaken from a dream. Because of this incident, Zhao Youlin’s mood turned good. She took the initiative to pick the fruit knife back and began to peel the pear that had done a good job.
Mu Tingfeng looked at Zhao Youlin lowering her head and peeling the pear seriously. His cold expression gradually softened, and the corners of his lips also subconsciously curled up. This was simply a miracle.
Unfortunately, the only witness who might have witnessed this miracle at this moment was struggling with the thin pear skin. She did not pay attention to the changes beside her.
Zhao Youlin peeled the skin while complaining.
‘This guy fails as a human. As the president of Mufeng Group and the only heir to the Mu family, no one comes to visit him except me, his secretary, and his mom when he has been hospitalized for a day.
‘Even the few pears I’m holding seem to have been bought by Xia Zhetao downstairs. One can imagine how bad his relationships with other people were before.’
