Chapter 181 - We’re Just Squabbling with Each Other (1)

The sudden voice and appearance of the person before everyone truly caught them by surprise to the point that they all stared wide-eyed, especially Sun Fengzi and Zhao Shunchang who was sitting on the floor

‘Isn’t… he Zhao Youlin’s ex, the young master of the Mu family? Why is he inside Zhao Youlin’s office?’

Without paying attention to the crowd’s dumbfounded expression due to his appearance, Mu Tingfeng slowly walked to Zhao Youlin’s side. Under Zhao Youlin’s astonished gaze, he held her hand without hesitation.

Zhao Youlin was shocked. She was so panicked that she wanted to pull her hand out of Mu Tingfeng’s. But, Mu Tingfeng whispered to her, “Don’t move if you don’t want that woman to keep squabbling.”

Zhao Youlin froze. She paused her hand movement and glared at Mu Tingfeng. However, she did not continue to struggle.

When Mu Tingfeng felt the force of struggle beneath his hand gradually faded, he went the extra mile by changing the way they held hands. He pushed his fingers between hers and laced their fingers together dominantly and assertively, not giving her a chance of breaking herself free.

Zhao Youlin’s expression changed once again the moment she sensed Mu Tingfeng’s movement. However, she gritted her teeth and held back for now because of what Mu Tingfeng had mentioned earlier.

To Xia Zhetao’s great misfortune, at that moment, he stood behind the two. He easily saw all the small movements between them.

When Secretary Xia was greeted by the sight, he felt like he had just been forced to watch two people flirting while being reminded that he was still single, ‘President, don’t you think you’re moving too fast?’

Before this, the president and the former Mrs. President had clearly hated each other and fought whenever they met. How with just a short span of time, they not only had kissed, but they also held hands together and met the parents?

‘Oh no! So, what exactly had happened in the small room and the elevator just now? Please explain…’

Xia Zhetao was not the only one waiting for Mu Tingfeng’s explanation, even others who were at the side were also stunned by Mu Tingfeng’s series of actions. Everyone was eagerly expecting Mu Tingfeng to explain to them what was going on between him and Zhao Youlin now.

Mu Tingfeng finally touched his ex-wife’s hand as he wished, and he decided to turn his head to look at them, as if he was doing them a favor by even looking at them, “You all seem to have misunderstood something.”

When Duan Yarong and her husband heard his words, their hearts sank. They were afraid that at that moment, Mu Tingfeng might say something unpleasant that fueled Sun Fengzi’s anger and hurt Zhao Youlin.

Mu Tingfeng swept his gaze across everyone coldly and finally rested on Sun Fengzi’s face that was as swollen as a dead whale. He said seriously, “Who told you all that I’ve kicked Youlin out of my house?”

Right after Mu Tingfeng spoke, not only did Duan Yarong and others froze, but even Zhao Youlin also gave him a puzzled look.

This was Zhao Youlin’s first time hearing Mu Tingfeng call her name, especially since he had addressed her as “Youlin” so intimately. She sensed something bad was about to happen…

“What else if she’s not kicked out of your house? Didn’t you guys already get divorced?” Sun Fengzi was obviously unable to adapt to this sudden change, and she murmured in a low voice.

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes lit up. He fell silent for a moment before he blurted out something that truly got everyone’s eyes popping out of their heads, “We had a squabble.”

“A squabble?!”

Mu Tingfeng nodded with absolute certainty and said, “We just had a squabble.”

The crowd fell speechless.

Zhao Youlin also fell speechless.

“So, now you’re trying to tell us that the reason why you two got divorced was all because you guys were squabbling with each other?!” Sun Fengzi’s finger trembled as she pointed at Mu Tingfeng. The crow’s feet around her eyes hinted as if she “believed” what he had just said.

However, Mu Tingfeng’s next sentence succeeded in breaking all her insistence to the point where she had to believe him.

Mu Tingfeng said, “Now that we’re done squabbling with each other. We’re preparing to remarry.”

“Huh?!” Within an instant, everyone in the office gathered their attention on Mu Tingfeng, as if they wanted to burn a hole in his body, especially Zhao Youlin.

Had a squabble with him? Why did she not even know that she had a squabble with this old man, and had even divorced from him out of wilfulness?! Moreover, what about this remarriage?! Why did she not even know anything about it?!

Xia Zhetao had been silently observing their every move behind them. When he saw Zhao Youlin’s sulky expression, how could he not understand the situation?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It did not matter even though the president had dropped a bombshell that was as explosive as an atomic bomb, what made it worse was that he actually made the decision on behalf of the former Mrs. President without her permission! ‘President, that’s so mighty of you. Are you sure you’re not afraid of being punished by the former Mrs. President after this?’

Zhao Youlin drew in several deep breaths before she could hold back the fury pounding in her chest. She gritted her teeth and whispered to him, “Mu Tingfeng, what the heck are you up to?! What’s with having a squabble with each other? What about remarriage? Why didn’t I have the slightest knowledge about all these?!”

Mu Tingfeng did not answer her directly. Instead, he turned back and looked deeply at Zhao Youlin. His gaze was filled with all sorts of emotions including tolerance, adoration and above all, passion.

Zhao Youlin’s heart clenched. S-S-She… actually identified emotions like passion in the eyes of this man. This was something totally different from what she had known previously. Her eyes must be deceiving her. Indeed, her eyes must have deceived her!

Mu Tingfeng looked at Zhao Youlin’s hair whorl as she lowered her head and absorbed in her self-hypnosis. He said something that was totally unrelated to her question, “I saved your life and even injured myself during the accident in the elevator just now.”

Zhao Youlin abruptly looked up. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “So?”

“Even if it was just a little help from others, you should return the favor with all you can when others are in need. I saved your life. You can return the favor by marrying me.”

Zhao Youlin fell speechless.

Meanwhile, Xia Zhetao who overheard their conversation also fell speechless.

When Secretary Xia heard Mu Tingfeng’s shocking remarks, he almost wanted to kneel down on the ground and salute his superior on the spot.

It was true that no one could defeat the meanest of people. Xia Zhetao even wondered why he had not noticed that his president was actually this… shameless in the past. However, one really had to be that shameless if he wanted to pursue his ex-wife! ‘Godspeed, president! I look highly on you!’

At the same time, Zhao Youlin was equally shocked by Mu Tingfeng’s shamelessness. ‘Darn it! How could there be such a thick-skinned person in this world?!’

When Zhao Youlin thought of this, she unwittingly cast a questioning glance at the person next to her. ‘Indeed, he is the real president of the Mu Feng Group with the ever invincible icy cold face. He’s not shaken by just anyone, right?

As Zhao Youlin thought of this, she cast a glance at Sun Fengzi, who was not far away from her from the corners of her eyes. Sun Fengzi looked so bitter as if her mouth had been stuffed with mud. Zhao Youlin quirked her eyebrow. Not only did she not let go of Mu Tingfeng’s hand, instead, she also wrapped the other arm around Mu Tingfeng’s. She pretended to look like a meek little woman indulging in happiness and said proudly, “That’s right. We were just squabbling with each other. We’ve never thought this could create such a great disturbance. Me and my… husband had never expected that to happen. Regardless, even though both of us had really divorced from each other, this is our own affairs and it’s never the outsider or whosoever’s right to judge us!”
