Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 277: I Like You (1)

Zhao Youlin did not know what had happened to herself. Staring into Mu Tingfeng’s eyes, she felt a heartache.

Zhao Youlin felt an inexplicable heartache, and she unwittingly reduced her struggling. She froze, allowing him to kiss her passionately to the point that she totally forgot to teach the man a lesson for taking advantage of her so many times.

After kissing, the two breathed slightly rapidly. However, Mu Tingfeng hadn’t let go of Zhao Youlin. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her even more tightly.

Zhao Youlin did not feel good after being hugged so tightly. She instinctively struggled, only to feel herself getting squeezed even tighter.

“Mu Tingfeng, you…”

Zhao Youlin initially wanted to ask Mu Tingfeng to relax a bit. However, before she finished speaking, she heard a whisper in her ear, “Are you on a blind date?”

“I-I…” She had been doing it openly. Yet, at that moment, she felt guilty.

Before Zhao Youlin defended herself, Mu Tingfeng continued, “How could you go on a blind date?! How could you? I disallow it! You are mine! You are mine!”

He sounded domineering, yet it carried a hint of panic. Instead of refuting him angrily, this time, Zhao Youlin unexpectedly remained silent. She sensed a trace of restlessness from Mu Tingfeng’s domineering confessions.

The reason why the man confessed to her without caring much about others was not because he was unhappy and wanted to claim her as his, it was because he wanted to shout out loud to cover his own panic and nervousness.

For a moment, Zhao Youlin thought she had gone mad. She actually thought Mu Tingfeng would feel nervous for her and become a changed man.

However, very soon, she realized what she had thought was right. He clearly felt Mu Tingfeng shivering.

Originally, Zhao Youlin had thought it was merely her own imagination. However, she slowly found… it was real.

Her hands, which were positioned to push him outward, had somehow spread out. She slowly placed them behind Mu Tingfeng’s back. Her palms felt his subtle trembling body, as if the man was confessing to her from the bottom of his heart.

“Are you scared?” No words could describe Zhao Youlin’s current mood. Was she feeling distressed, troubled, annoyed, or… secretly rejoiced?

“Are you afraid that I went on a blind date? You’re afraid that I might fall for another man and be with him, right?”

Zhao Youlin’s nonchalant remark stabbed Mu Tingfeng where it hurt. His entire body unwittingly trembled.

She was right. He was afraid that all this was happening. In all his twenty years, even though he had stayed alone overseas and worked very hard to climb the corporate ladder from the bottom and had several near-death experiences, President Mu had never felt so scared like this before. He was truly scared when he was told that Zhao Youlin had gone on a blind date.

He was afraid that he could not make the person stay anymore. He was afraid that the person would fall for any man, except him. He was afraid that after it had taken him a long while to confirm his feelings for her, and fall in love with her, he had to go back to square one, standing by the side and watch her living happily with another man, and that he stood no chance at all.

He was even afraid that if that really happened, he could not refrain from committing irrational deeds that would ruin the woman and himself as well. He might end up using the most tragic way to tie them together, forever.

“Mu Tingfeng, are you mute? Why did you suddenly come out of the hospital and mess up my blind date?! You even dragged me to a place like here… just to tell me all this out of nowhere? Darn you! Say something!”

Zhao Youlin was pissed off by Mu Tingfeng’s silence and stillness. She raised her hand and moved away from Mu Tingfeng’s arm. When she was about to lift her hand and push away the person who had been leaning against her, she was greeted by a striking red sight.

Zhao Youlin’s pupils shrank. She looked at her hand incredulously. She moved her gaze away and as expected, she saw the certain one’s snow-white sleeve was soaked in blood.

The gunshot wound on Mu Tingfeng’s arm was open again! Darn it! How could she forget that the person was still wounded?!

Was he asking for death to go out when he had not fully recovered from his wound?! Was he truly that afraid that she would… flee with another man?!

Mu Tingfeng’s face had slowly returned to its healthy complexion after feeding him with various tonic soup. Today, his face looked so pale that it was as white as a sheet. Seeing this, Zhao Youlin gritted her teeth and said, “Mu Tingfeng, you’re nuts!”

Looking at Zhao Youlin’s shocking and worrying expression, the corners of Mu Tingfeng’s lips slowly curled upward.

She was right. He was nuts. Before he fell for Zhao Youlin, he never thought he would go so far to the extent of sacrificing himself for her sake, like a moth drawn to flames even though it might end up killing itself. Likewise, although he clearly knew that his life was put at stake by standing at the edge of a cliff, and might fall to his death at any time, he still could not help himself but lunge at her. He was willing to perish together with her at all costs.

Zhao Youlin fell speechless.

“What’s wrong with you?!” The next moment, she felt Mu Tingfeng’s warm breath in her ears. There was a moment of flirtatiousness among the two. Unfortunately, just then, Zhao Youlin was fully concentrating on helping with his bleeding arm. So, she sounded annoyed when she asked him.

“I like you.” The man’s attractive voice with a hint of huskiness made him sound so sexy that one would inevitably indulge in his voice.

Zhao Youlin was tearing her sleeve to help to stop Mu Tingfeng’s bleeding. Upon hearing this, she abruptly stopped. She looked up and stared at Mu Tingfeng. She mumbled, “What… What did you say just now?”

Mu Tingfeng quirked one of his eyebrows. His deep eyes showed a hint of a smile. He lowered his head and kissed Zhao Youlin between the eyes. He said softly, “I like you. Please give me a chance, and stay with me, okay…?”

This time, Zhao Youlin was very sure that all of this was not of her own imagination. That guy was really confessing to her!

She was used to hearing those daring words from him such as “You’re mine!”, “We’re going to remarry!” and other domineering and cool phrases. After making multiple shocking remarks on his own, she finally gave up on the incredibly weird and arrogant man with negative emotional intelligence.

She never thought the man would propose to her one day!

Undeniably, when he put aside his brutality, dominance and outrageousness and became incredibly serious and gentle, he looked very… charming.

Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s eyes which were filled with her own reflections, Zhao Youlin’s heart clenched. A strange, yet familiar feeling unwittingly crept over her entire body, and she uncontrollably felt her cheeks getting warm.
