Chapter 384: Sulky (2)

Zhao Youlin was rendered speechless. Her heart clenched as she looked at Mu Tingfeng’s happy expression with a hint of smugness. She snorted, “President Mu, don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t want the outsiders to misunderstand that my grandfather is taking revenge and bullying the younger generation because of what we both did over the past.”

As Zhao Youlin was speaking this, she grumbled to herself disdainfully, ‘That old man said that I’m busy because I need to handle so many things in the company, so it’s good that someone could share my burden. He already knew that I’m very busy yet he still often causes trouble for me. What’s with hoping that someone would share my burden?! His glib tongue sounds just as sweet as a ballad!’

Did the former master really think that she had not the faintest clue what he had in his mind? He had dragged her down and now, he even intended to use her to pull in Mu Tingfeng so that he could work for him as well.

Once the former master was ensured that his business foundation, which he had spent more than half of his life building, was as stable as a fortress, he could travel to other places and enjoy his carefree life. What a wishful thought?!

Even Zhao Youlin could see this through, how could Mu Tingfeng not get this as well?

However, the person who had set him up was, after all, Zhao Youlin’s biological grandfather. As a junior from the younger generation, if he did not suffer some superficial losses, he might lose even more than that, no?

“Regarding this matter, you don’t have to worry about it. What Grandfather Zhao has mentioned just now was right. As your boyfriend, I should share some of your burdens.”

Mu Tingfeng looked like he had humbly accepted the former master’s words and sincerely decided not to be calculative even though he had been taken advantage of. Zhao Youlin felt like she was suffering from a stroke. She rolled her eyes at him and did not want to say anything further.

When Mu Tingfeng saw her in her current state, the corners of his lips curved upward slightly. He knew that he could not push someone too hard within a short period of time. He switched the topic and said, “Didn’t you say you want to discuss a case with me today? You even said that you might need my help. So, how’s the case now?”

Mu Tingfeng was filled with expectancy as he asked her the question.

The moment he received Zhao Youlin’s call about seeking his help yesterday, he had been very happy. This was Zhao Youlin’s first time taking the initiative to seek help from him. He had decided to give it his best performance today.

However, after waiting for the whole day, he had not received Zhao Youlin’s call to seek his help. In fact, he had ended up receiving Zhao Youlin’s call to ask him to pick up their son!

Zhao Youlin, however, did not know that she had failed to meet President Mu’s little expectation that was only known to him. When Mu Tingfeng brought this up, only then did she remember the actual intention of asking Mu Tingfeng over.

She made it sound like a simple issue and replied to him, “Oh, regarding that matter, I’ve resolved it. I don’t need your help anymore.”

When President Mu heard her words, he felt that his heart was broken into pieces…

“Speaking of which, I have something to talk to you about. We…”

Zhao Youlin surveyed her surroundings and found that the servants whom she had sent away earlier had returned from outside one after another.

Zhao Youlin furrowed her eyebrows and pointed at the second floor as she said, “Fine, let’s talk about it inside my bedroom. It’s inconvenient to talk over here.”

Mu Tingfeng’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Zhao Youlin inviting him to talk to her inside her bedroom.

Soon, he suppressed his inner shock and delight. His expression remained as usual and nodded his head as he walked upstairs with Zhao Youlin.

This was Mu Tingfeng’s first time being given the honor to step into Zhao Youlin’s bedroom.

Even though the previous Zhao Youlin had slept inside the master bedroom when she stayed in the Mu family’s residence, Mu Tingfeng had avoided her like the plague. At that time, he had always stayed inside the guest room whenever he went back home.

Later, Zhao Youlin had divorced him and moved out of the Mu family’s house. Mu Tingfeng returned home only after a few days.

At that time, the members of the Mu family had known that he disliked Zhao Youlin. Therefore, the moment Zhao Youlin left the house, the old butler had quickly put away all the things she had used in the Mu family’s house. It had been difficult for Mu Tingfeng to find even the slightest bit of trace of Zhao Youlin’s presence in his house.

Later, Mu Tingfeng had understood his feelings for Zhao Youlin. However, she had been lukewarm to him.

The two hardly shared intimate moments between themselves nor often spent time with each other alone without any barriers, much less visit Zhao Youlin’s bedroom so abruptly.

Zhao Youlin had taken the initiative to make a call to him to ask him to pick up their son today. Now, she had taken the initiative once again to invite him for some private talk inside her bedroom. Did all this mean that… she was gradually accepting and acknowledging him?

Mu Tingfeng was thinking of this as he watched Zhao Youlin push open the door that led to her own privacy.

To be honest, there was nothing special about Zhao Youlin’s bedroom. There were neither any fancy nor exaggerated decorations. She also did not have various luxuries that were commonly liked by any average girl.

The walls were painted in a simple crescent-white color, she had a wide and warm light-colored bed as well as the plush carpet that spread from the front door to the entire room. The inside of her bedroom was simple, yet it gave off a trace of nostalgic warmth.

Mu Tingfeng surveyed the room nostalgically before he found that the only things that were out of their place were the small toys that were scattered all over the carpet.

Mu Tingfeng had not spoken a word ever since he entered through the door. Zhao Youlin finally realized something was not right.

The moment she turned her head around and looked at him, she saw Mu Tingfeng was staring in a certain direction in a daze. Zhao Youlin looked in the direction he was staring at and immediately spotted the sets of toys that Joy had not had the time to put away.

“I’m sorry. Joy and I don’t usually like others to simply go into our bedroom to clean up, so things are a bit messy.”

As Zhao Youlin was speaking this, she had walked over to the pile of toys and packed them up neatly.

Mu Tingfeng was a little stunned as he watched Zhao Youlin’s actions. However, what he was more concerned about were the words Zhao Youlin had just said.

“You and Joy?”

Zhao Youlin was so focused on the things in her hands that she did not notice the unusual hint in Mu Tingfeng’s words. She subconsciously replied to him, “That’s right. Joy and I are staying in the same room. Both of us don’t really like others to simply touch our stuff when we are not at home. Therefore, the servants inside the house don’t usually come into our bedroom and I have to clean it up myself.”

“Are Joy and you still sleeping in the same room? And on the same bed?”

There was an obvious hint of dissatisfaction in Mu Tingfeng’s words. It was so obvious that it was difficult for Zhao Youlin to pretend she had not heard it.

She paused her hand movement and turned her head around in puzzlement. She was greeted by the sight of Mu Tingfeng furrowing his eyebrow. He looked indignant and disapproving. Her puzzlement only intensified.

“Is it weird that Joy and I stay inside the same room?”

Of course it was weird! Mu Tingfeng’s face turned dark again. He replied coldly, “Joy is almost five years old.”

A five-year-old boy was at least considered half a man. Even though she was his mother, it was very improper for them to sleep on the same bed daily.

This was especially so when he had not officially slept on the same bed with Zhao Youlin even once! So, why did the little child, who knew nothing, deserve to take advantage of this?!

As Mu Tingfeng thought of this, he grew increasingly indignant and he gritted his teeth.
