Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 331 - Attend The Banquet Together (2)

Chapter 331: Attend The Banquet Together (2)

So, each day passed by with the accompanying state of Mu Tingfeng often exuding an intimidating and cold presence while the people around him suffered.

On the tenth day, Mu Tingfeng’s wound finally healed. The doctor was so excited that he announced with tears streaming down his face that Mu Tingfeng could be discharged from the hospital.

Originally, Xia Zhetao had thought that once Mu Tingfeng was discharged from the hospital, his miserable days would come to an end. However, reality showed him that he had been too naive.

After Mu Tingfeng was discharged from the hospital, against Xia Zhetao’s expectations, he did not go and look for Zhao Youlin. Instead, he went straight back to the company. His expression was dark throughout the entire day. He did not mention even a single word about Zhao Youlin, as if he had had a conflict with her.

And the truth was, Mu Tingfeng really had a clash with Zhao Youlin. He did not think that he was at fault with the situation that day. He only wanted a baby with his beloved woman. Why did Zhao Youlin have to throw such a huge tantrum at him? She did not allow him to be discharged from the hospital and even threatened him that she would run away with his son. This had coincidentally pricked at Mu Tingfeng’s most sensitive spot.

If Mu Tingfeng took the initiative to look for Zhao Youlin, would this not mean that he had compromised with her and no longer wanted to have a baby with her?

This had been absolutely unacceptable for him! He was a man. No matter what, he still had to retain his last bit of dignity as a man. He could let Zhao Youlin have her way when it came to other things. However, this matter was of nature that was non-negotiable!

With this thought in his mind, Mu Tingfeng forced himself not to look for Zhao Youlin. He waited for Zhao Youlin to return to him.

The fact was, President Mu was too naive. Zhao Youlin had been most unhappy because of the incident last time. She did not even want to see him, much less take the initiative to look for him.

This was an unfairly matched one-sided cold war. Of course, it only ended up with Zhao Youlin getting very busy with Han Yichen’s business, while Mu Tingfeng got so worked up that he vented his frustration on his company.

The Mighty Secretary Xia was oppressed to the point where he barely survived. After he learned from Su Ruixin by chance about Su He’s child’s full moon banquet and that Zhao Youlin had agreed to attend after an invitation was sent to her, he felt that he finally saw a ray of light amid the dark clouds hovering his life.

He was like a man who had fallen into a huge ocean and was left swimming in it for days. When he nearly ran out of strength and died, suddenly, he managed to grab hold of one last floating log, and he was so excited that he regained his vitality. He immediately ran to Mu Tingfeng’s office to come up with an idea for him.

“President, I heard that Ms. Zhao has agreed to attend Ms. Su’s child’s full moon banquet. You also know that Ms. Zhao had been very unhappy because of the incident between you and Ms. Su. No matter what the situation is, you are slightly at fault when it comes to this. Since Ms. Zhao has agreed to attend Ms. Su’s child’s full moon banquet, this also means that Ms. Zhao no longer takes the past incident to heart. But…”

“But what?” Mu Tingfeng cocked one of his eyebrows. He cast a profound glance at Xia Zhetao.

Xia Zhetao gulped with difficulty. “But, even though Ms. Zhao no longer takes the incident to heart, it doesn’t mean that the others would not mind it either. Today, there would certainly be many people from various backgrounds attending Ms. Su’s banquet, and some are good, while others are bad. Some people who lack common sense might use this incident to mock Ms. Zhao and…”

Xia Zhetao still did not know the name of Mu Tingfeng’s son. He hesitated for some time, but still could not find a suitable name to address him.

Mu Tingfeng cast a glance coldly at him. He took the initiative to remind him. “My son’s nickname is Joy.”

“Oh, it’s Joy. The others would certainly bring up the past incident to make things difficult for Ms. Zhao and Joy. President, you have had a hard time getting Ms. Zhao to change her mind about you. What if those people go too far and piss Ms. Zhao off? She might end up taking it out on you…”

Xia Zhetao’s words had already spoken for themselves. Mu Tingfeng furrowed his eyebrows. He pondered over the matter seriously.

When Xia Zhetao saw that Mu Tingfeng was already a little taken in by the idea, he worked harder by offering his so-called good strategy.

“President, tomorrow, if you could personally go to the Zhao family to pick up Ms. Zhao, bring her to Ms. Su’s place, and make an entrance together with her, when those people who intend to cause her trouble see this, they would at least show their respects to you. Besides, when you make your entrance and exit with Ms. Zhao at the banquet, you guys would certainly become the center of the limelight. This would also mean that you are proving your current relationship with Ms. Zhao in front of the public!”

Mu Tingfeng had not seen Zhao Youlin for more than half a month, and he missed her so much that he was about to go mad. However, he did not want to give in regardless of the cost because of his own dignity. Now, Xia Zhetao had offered him an easy way out.

If possible, he did not want anyone to bring up the issue about his divorce from Zhao Youlin that happened in the past. Although he had fallen for the current Zhao Youlin and not the previous one, that had still been the poorest decision that he ever made in his life.

At that time, if only he could have distinguished the difference between the two. He would not have needed to take so many detours in trying to make amends now.

Moreover, Mu Tingfeng was also tempted by Xia Zhetao’s proposal. What bothered him the most was how he could make Zhao Youlin agree to give birth to another child with him, as well as those… love rivals who had been eyeing Zhao Youlin like hungry wolves!

If he went to the banquet with Zhao Youlin and left with her, it was equivalent to a declaration of his ownership over her in front of everyone. This would also serve as a warning to her admirers that Zhao Youlin was his. No one could take her away from him.

After hesitating for a brief moment, Mu Tingfeng abruptly rose up and dropped him a line. “I’m heading back first. Handle the rest of the matter.”

After that, he ignored Xia Zhetao’s reaction and rushed home in a flash to give a call to Zhao Youlin.

Xia Zhetao looked in the direction where Mu Tingfeng had left for some time before he returned to his senses. Mu Tingfeng still had a lot of things undone, and he had actually left them all to him!

“Eh, President, don’t go away first! Don’t go away! There are still some documents that require your signature! Come back—!”

Unfortunately, at that time, Mu Tingfeng had long disappeared. He did not hear Xia Zhetao’s passionate cries.

Zhao Youlin was caught by surprise after hearing from Uncle Zhao that someone on the phone was looking for her, and that the person had addressed himself as the president of Mu Feng Group. This was Mu Tingfeng’s first time calling her.

Zhao Youlin answered the call. She greeted him with uncertainty, “Mu Tingfeng?”

The person on the other end of the line remained silent for a long time. It was so long that Zhao Youlin thought the person on the other end was no longer there anymore. When she was about to hang up, she heard a familiar voice coming from the phone.

“Tomorrow, I’ll go to your house and take you and Joy to Su Qing’s place with me.”

After Mu Tingfeng finished speaking, he did not wait for Zhao Youlin to respond and immediately hung up on her. He did not even give her a chance to refuse him.

Zhao Youlin held the phone in dumbfounded shock and stood in place.

Just then, Duan Yarong walked over to her. When Duan Yarong saw her in her current state, she thought something had happened. “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Zhao Youlin’s face looked slightly… stiff. “Mu Tingfeng said he’s going to fetch me to attend the banquet together tomorrow.”
