Chapter 467: Choose One Of The Two (1)
Seeing that the two of them began to get lovey-dovey again as if no one was there with them, Might Secretary Xia, who had been acting as a background on the side, could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He secretly shouted from the bottom of his heart, ‘Can someone… Can someone come to take this shameless couple away?’
Perhaps God had some pity on this miserable secretary, as He immediately sent him a savior after hearing his calling.
The only problem was in Xia Zhetao’s eyes, this savior was actually no different from a death curse!
“Miss Zhao, President Mu.” A familiar voice came from behind him, causing Xia Zhetao’s body to shiver. He stiffly turned around and followed the sound. And unsurprisingly, he saw a certain character who could be considered to be the sworn enemy of his boss.
Oh, my god! Dear God, did You have enough of our president’s smugness too? Is that why you deliberately sent this guy to show up at times like this to mess with President Mu?
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned too when they heard this voice. After they turned their heads to look at the visitor, their eyebrows corked up. “President Ye?”
Ye Yan slowly walked toward Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng. As he walked closer, it felt as if the surrounding temperature had dropped several degrees, while the contrasting smile at the corner of his lips was, therefore, more and more profound.
By the time Ye Yan stood in front of them, Mu Tingfeng’s face had completely darkened. Even Joy, who was lying on his shoulder, felt his displeasure at the moment. In an obedient manner, he puckered up and stared at the front with his wide eyes without moving.
Ye Yan chuckled as he saw this. “There is no need to be so nervous, President Mu. I am not here to jinx you today, I am here to congratulate you. Also, I would like to talk to you about some things, President Mu.”
What Ye Yan said caught them off guard for a moment, especially Mu Tingfeng.
The fact that Ye Yan came to look for him instead of Zhao Youlin, did that mean he had really given up Zhao Youlin, or was it just his stalling tactics?
Mu Tingfeng’s expression became less stern, but the defensiveness in his eyes against Ye Yan did not diminish in the slightest.
No matter what, this man in front of him was considered his number one love rival.
He had not forgotten how this guy had challenged him in front of everyone and declared that he wanted to snatch Zhao Youlin from him.
Before he and Zhao Youlin really married, he had to eliminate all dangerous factors, he would nip all the possible risk in the bud!
Ye Yan saw that Mu Tingfeng was being defensive against him. He put on a faint bitter smile on his face and turned to look at Zhao Youlin.
At this moment, he no longer looked at Zhao Youlin with deep infatuation like he did before. It was as if his obsession with her before was like a bubble, so fragile that it burst at one touch and quickly dissipated into the air. It was really strange.
“Miss Zhao, I would like to talk to President Mu alone. I was wondering if you could…”
Zhao Youlin was a little stunned. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Mu Tingfeng. Then, she said with a smile on her face, “Of course, Tingfeng. I will take over Joy. Take good care of President Ye.”
Mu Tingfeng was a little reluctant at first, but once he heard Zhao Youlin call his name intimately in front of Ye Yan and asked him to greet the “guest” in a host-like manner, he swallowed back his refusal and obediently handed Joy over to Zhao Youlin.
Before Zhao Youlin walked away, he still reminded her in concern, “Don’t go too far.”
The corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes. She said snappishly, “This is my house. Are you afraid that I would get lost?”
Did this guy really think of her as one of those white lotus flowers that grew inside the greenhouse and daintily begged for care?
Mu Tingfeng good-naturedly replied to her, “There are many people here today.” And there are even more despicable people!
Zhao Youlin was so beautiful. She was also the eldest lady of the Zhao family and the general manager of the Zhao Enterprise. She had gained another identity now, the sister of the president of Sheng Huang Group.
Even if he just stressed in front of everyone that she belonged to him, there was no guarantee that some people who did not know better might come to cause trouble with her, such as Xie Yuqing from just now.
Ye Yan and Xia Zhetao were speechless.
Zhao Youlin was defeated by Mu Tingfeng’s babysitter mindset that was lurking just beneath his cold appearance. She said yes to him in a resigned manner and quickly got out of there with Joy in her arms.
Xia Zhetao too, finally found an excuse to leave. He bowed at them before he disappeared.
After Ye Yan watched them leave, he raised his head and gave Mu Tingfeng a profound look. He asked in a low voice, “There are too many people here. Can we talk in someplace private?”
Mu Tingfeng hesitated for a moment and nodded his head.
Finally, Ye Yan and Mu Tingfeng found an unoccupied corner where they could be alone. As soon as they were seated, Ye Yan cut to the chase and asked, “President Mu, have we met before?”
Mu Tingfeng knitted his brows. He obviously could not understand why Ye Yan would ask that question. “President Ye, if you don’t have a memory loss, you should remember that we have met long before this, and more than once.”
“President Mu, you misunderstood. What I am asking is apart from those few times we have met recently because of Miss Zhao, have we met or had contact before that, three years and five years, seven years and eight years, or even… more than ten years ago?”
Mu Tingfeng was stunned. He looked at Ye Yan’s eager inquiry that was hidden under his calm face, his eyes flickered slightly.
On the other side, Zhao Youlin was carrying Joy in her arms. After she thought about it, she chose to walk in the direction of the kitchen.
After a busy day today, not only did Joy not eat much, Zhao Youlin herself basically did not eat anything.
The mother and the son, who had their hearts set on food, met a stumbling block on their way to the food.
Zhao Youlin studied the young man in front of her with an unfathomable expression on her face. Her eyes slightly narrowed and she lightly smiled. “How long have you been here, Chief Zhao? How did I not see you just now?”
The gloom under Zhao Youming’s eyes disappeared instantly. He smiled and replied, “Cousin Youlin, we are in the Zhao Residence, not in the company. You can call me cousin; it sounds too cold if you call me Chief Zhao.”
Zhao Youlin did not say anything. She only looked at him with a vague smile on her face.
The smile on Zhao Youming’s face stiffened again, but he quickly adjusted it and moved back the subject without a trace. “I have arrived for some time, but you, aunt and uncle and grandfather were all busy greeting guests. That’s why you did not notice me.”
“I see.” Zhao Youlin nodded without much concern. She swept a glance behind Zhao Youming and nonchalantly asked, “Where is your father? How come I did not see him come with you?”
The expression on Zhao Youming’s face changed slightly. He managed to maintain the smile on his face as he said in a low voice, “My father just happened to be a little busy these days. It is really a pity that he could not come over today to wish my aunt a happy birthday.”
“Oh, I see. It seems like your father must be really busy.” The corner of Zhao Youlin’s lips crossed with a touch of mockery. “I did not expect that Uncle Shuncheng has become more and more successful in his career after leaving Zhao Enterprise. Looks like his talent was really wasted in Zhao Enterprise before.”
