Chapter 167: Alone Together (2)

The girl who spoke just now wanted to continue talking about the general manager bringing her ex-husband into her private elevator, but suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of her, and her wrist was grabbed. It shocked her.

In the next second, a person appeared in front of her, and with an angry and panicked voice, she hissed, “What did you say? President Mu entered that elevator together with that wench?”

The girl was terrified by Zhao Youxi’s distorted features, and after a long while, she regained her voice. She did not register what Zhao Youxi used to refer to Zhao Youlin and just stammered, “Y-Yes… I just saw them enter the elevator together.”

“Damn it,” Zhou Youxi cussed viciously and let go of the girl’s wrist. She headed straight to the elevator where Zhao Youxi and Mu Tingfeng rode.

Xia Zhetao already felt his expression sink from the moment Zhao Youxi called Zhao Youlin a wench, giving him a dangerous look. Now, when he saw how intensely Zhao Youlin reacted, he thought that the woman had dirty thoughts toward Mu Tingfeng and was rushing over in such a hurry to bother them.

‘That won’t do! The president finally had the chance to be alone together with the former Mrs. President, so how can I let this brainless, rich brat run over to bother them? I can’t let it happen! Absolutely not!’

With that thought in mind, Xia Zheato resolutely followed Zhao Youxi with the thought of stopping her.

Meanwhile, after Zhao Youlin watched Xia Zhetao run away in alarm, she listened to the sound of the elevator heading up bit by bit. When she remembered that there was a man who had a rather complicated relationship with her… Ahem, fine, it was a complicated relationship with her body and Joy, for some reason, complex emotions rose in her heart.

Even though they spoke to each other a few times, the process and conclusion to those incidents were always a little convoluted. But she had always talked to Mu Tingfeng in public or when other people were around. She had never been in a situation where both of them were stuffed in a small, enclosed space!

A suffocating silence spread between them. Zhao Youlin wanted to search for a topic to relieve the tension, only to find that she could not say a single word in the face of Mu Tingfeng’s stoicism!

While troubled by the difficult question of how to break the silence, Zhao Youlin did not notice that while she was feeling conflicted, Mu Tingfeng was also quietly observing her.

This was the first time Mu Tingfeng met Zhao Youlin face-to-face after he received pointers from Su Ruixin. The last time he met her was when Zhao Youlin was having lunch happily with the third son of the Ye family in a restaurant.

He had urged Xia Zhetao to drive away quickly, almost as if he was running away, and Mu Tingfeng’s expression was basically as dark as a thundercloud over the next few days, scaring all the employees working for him. During those days, they did their work with their heads lowered while trembling with fear, worried that they would see their president’s murderous face the moment they looked up, because they would die of a heart attack the moment they saw it.

Before Mu Tingfeng’s anger faded away, he received news that Zhao Youlin wanted to negotiate an agreement with him. At that time, Xia Zhetao thought that the president would fly off his handle and reject it, but to his great surprise, the usually level-headed and calm President Mu did something completely different from his usually domineering and prideful image after he received the news. He had Xia Zhetao reply that he was on a business trip and would not be in Shalnork over the next few days. They were only to negotiate once he was back from his business trip.

So, Zhao Youlin’s assumption from before was actually not wrong. Mu Tingfeng was avoiding her, but the reason was not the same as what she thought. Instead, it was… rather… ahem… embarrassing.

Mu Tingfeng could still remember that the moment he gave this order, his chief secretary looked like he was suffering from constipation.

In truth, he knew that his actions were really… surprising. However, at that moment, his body had already reacted before his brain could even wrap itself around what happened.

Ever since he divorced the woman, every time he ran into things related to the woman, he would end up not acting like himself.

Most importantly, the things that were originally in his control had now slipped from his grasp. Mu Tingfeng should feel displeased and frustrated because of it, but now, he felt that this “accident” was good. He must really be out of his mind!

Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts in the elevator, and after a while, both of them spoke simultaneously, and they said the same thing.

“You…”

They exchanged a glance hurriedly before they quickly looked away, as if they were two young teenagers who knew nothing.

Zhao Youlin had not expected Mu Tingfeng to suddenly turn his head around, and when she looked into his profound eyes, her heart skipped a beat, for some reason.

When she snapped out of her daze and realized what she did, her expression turned a little sour, and she cussed in her heart. ‘Why are you feeling diffident? At the end of the day, this person is just your ex, not a tiger! Why are you nervous?!’

In truth, Mu Tingfeng was also shocked by this small accident. However, he was used to schooling his expression, so no matter how shocked he was, he would not lose his composure. Very soon, he collected himself and asked, “What is it?”

Zhao Youlin cast a glance at Mu Tingfeng through her peripheral vision and cleared her throat before saying, “Um… Oh, yes. Thank you for sending Joy and I back home last time. Also… I’ve sent your suit for dry cleaning. I’ve been rather busy over the past few days, so I’ll have someone send it to your secretary in a few days.”

Zhao Youlin deliberated over this and felt that with their stormy past, the moment they went straight to the topic of the meeting today, there was a high chance that the deal would go bust. She should first try to figure out his thoughts from another angle.

When Mu Tingfeng finished listening to Zhao Youlin, he did not react. He just stared at Zhao Youlin with a profound look.

Zhao Youlin shuddered because of his stare, and she began wondering whether she had something on her face, because this man was looking at her like she was some sort of exotic animal.

Just when Zhao Youlin pursed her lips and was about to blow up, she suddenly heard the man say calmly, “Just keep it.”

“Huh?” Zhao Youlin was stunned. She did not understand what Mu Tingfeng meant.

Zhao Youlin’s stunned expression seemed to have delighted Mu Tingfeng. His stern lips curled up faintly, and it was barely noticeable. In a rare show of patience, he explained, “You don’t need to return it. Just keep it.”

It was at that moment that Zhao Youlin understood that Mu Tingfeng was telling her that she did not need to return the suit and she could keep it.

Keep it? Why? She was a woman. She had a three-year-old boy at home. Why would she need the suit of a grown man? This guy definitely thought his suit was dirty now because she had it draped over her shoulders and did not want it back. But everyone knew that he was the one who placed the suit over her shoulders that day!

She might be making a sarcastic quip in her heart, but Zhao Youlin was still preoccupied by the matters they needed to discuss later, so she gave a perfunctory reply, “Oh.”

It became silent in the elevator again. Mu Tingfeng frowned. He looked at Zhao Youlin while she was looking downward. Conflict flashed in his eyes, and in the end, he could not hold back. He asked, “That day, in the restaurant…”

Before Mu Tingfeng could finish speaking, the light in the elevator suddenly went out. At the same time, the originally steady elevator suddenly started swaying!
