Chapter 236: Encounter a Tricker (2)
Zhao Youlin was not a fool. How could she not notice when the two people were dropping hints so obviously? She was not blind. It was just that she could not expose them on the spot.
Not to mention that Su Ruixin had been involved because of her. She had sacrificed herself in the car to block her, so she owed her a big favor. It was just that Mu Tingfeng…
If she really counted it, Mu Tingfeng had saved her twice including this time, so she owed him two lives.
Zhao Youlin was not a person who liked to owe favors to others, so when she heard Su Ruixin and Xia Zhetao’s hint, she did not immediately expose them and turn around to leave. Instead, she forced herself to listen to their words. After she finished listening, she subconsciously looked at someone on the hospital bed.
The gazes of the two met in the air without warning, and Zhao Youlin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She suddenly recalled the words Mu Tingfeng said as they held on to each other in the dark elevator as well as the unexpected appearance of him when he suddenly appeared next to her when she was on the verge of dying. Besides, she also recalled the scene when Mu Tingfeng was shot for her sake.
Zhao Youlin seemed to have been stabbed by something, and she hurriedly looked away. She did not dare to look directly at Mu Tingfeng’s eyes again as she was afraid that she would subconsciously reveal a slight strangeness.
After a while, Zhao Youlin coughed lightly. Under Su Ruixin and Xia Zhetao’s almost fierce gaze, she sighed and said, “Since Madam Mu and Secretary Xia don’t have time to come over to take care of President Mu, I’ll make some time to take care of President Mu these days. Anyway, President Mu got injured because of me, so I’ll take it as repaying him for saving my life just now.”
Su Ruixin and Xia Zhetao did not expect Zhao Youlin to agree so easily. After they were stunned for a while, they exchanged glances while feeling pleasantly surprised. However, they put on a troubled look on their faces and said, “How could I let you do that?”
Zhao Youlin frowned. She thought to herself, ‘If you guys really don’t want me to do that, you shouldn’t put on that act in front of me. Now, you’re being hypocritical again. Be careful as I may take back my words.’
“Then…”
“It’s decided then.” Seeing that Zhao Youlin seemed to want to retreat because of her polite remarks, Su Ruixin changed her words and made a decision for this matter.
Zhao Youlin was speechless.
“For these few days, I’ll leave Tingfeng for you to take care then.” As Su Ruixin spoke, she shook off Xia Zhetao’s hand that was supporting her. Then, she stepped forward to hold Zhao Youlin’s hand with a kind face.
It was really difficult to associate the energetic appearance with the weak patient, who had said that she was about to faint just now.
“Don’t mention it.”
Mu Tingfeng looked at Zhao Youlin’s pitiful appearance of constantly holding back her words, and a faint ripple automatically appeared in his calm eyes. It made his whole face softer than usual.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin, who was busy dealing with the extremely enthusiastic Mrs. Mu at this moment, did not notice this at all.
The decision that Zhao Youlin must go to the hospital to take care of Mu Tingfeng had been presented to her as a fait accompli.
It was rare to have such a good opportunity to exchange feelings, so Su Ruixin would not let it go easily. Zhao Youlin felt awkward just staying in the ward. She had been thinking of leaving in a hurry several times, but Su Ruixin and Xia Zhetao worked together and made her stay with a little effort.
Just when Zhao Youlin was complaining and calling Xiao Jingyao to come to the rescue in her mind, God seemed to have heard her plea and sent another savior to rescue her.
“Ms. Zhao…”
A husky call suddenly sounded from outside the ward. Everyone in the ward stopped the conversation immediately and turned to look at the source of the sound. They happened to see the man with a faint smile at the entrance of the ward.
Zhao Youlin’s eyes brightened when she saw that person. She hurriedly turned her head and said to Su Ruixin, “Mrs. Mu, I need to speak with my friend in my private, so I’ll leave for a while.” After she finished speaking, she did not care about Su Ruixin’s response and quickly got up. Then, she pulled the man at the entrance and ran as if there was a beast chasing her.
Su Ruixin extended her hand and wanted to pull Zhao Youlin, but she was a step late. She could only watch Zhao Youlin disappear from her sight.
“Hey, why did you leave?” Su Ruixin puckered her lips and looked at her extended hand that was in mid-air in disappointment. Suddenly, she felt a cold wind blowing from behind. It was so cold that it made her shiver.
She turned her head stiffly and saw her son’s face that was extremely dark. When she thought of the man who stood at the entrance of the ward just now and the scene where Zhao Youlin could not wait and rushed out of the ward to meet him, Su Ruixin’s mouth was instantly wide opened.
‘Is my son jealous? Oh my God, I can actually see my son being jealous over a woman in my lifetime!’
Although the so-called jealousy came a little later than expected and the child of the two was already that big, he was still jealous after all. She was once worried that her cold, domineering, cool, and handsome son would be alone forever, but he would actually be jealous because of someone!
This kind of feeling made her jealous and satisfied. She was jealous as her son, whom she raised for more than twenty years, had belonged to someone else. His gaze showed that his heart was biased toward that girl.
What was satisfying was that it was rare to see her son have such a humane side, so she suddenly felt comfortable. She really wanted to take a picture of the scene and show it to her husband, who was also facially paralyzed.
Su Ruixin was in a dilemma, but she did not know that Mu Tingfeng, who saw Zhao Youlin rush out, had only one thought in his mind at this moment.
‘Darn it. How could this woman be so unruly? She has a child with me, and we’re about to remarry. However, she still acted intimately with another man in front of me.’
That hand that was holding another man was really an eyesore. He was angry. President Mu, who got even angrier the more he thought, would have rushed out with the two of them if he had not had a giant plaster on his hand.
He was unfortunate, so he could only lie on the hospital bed silently and swallow his anger.
However, Mu Tingfeng’s mobility did not mean that everyone around him was immobile.
After taking a few deep breaths, Mu Tingfeng’s fierce gaze directly shifted to Secretary Xia who was beside the hospital bed.
Xia Zhetao was cold and shivered unexpectedly. A hint of ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his mind. “President…”
Mu Tingfeng did not speak. He only looked at Xia Zhetao quietly for a while. Then, he hinted him by looking outside.
Xia Zhetao was stunned. He glanced at the entrance of the ward blankly and immediately understood.
His expression became serious, and he paid a military salute to Mu Tingfeng. Then, he rushed out as if he was escaping.
