Originally, he thought that woman was trying to play hard to get just to attract his attention. However, after the incident just now, he realized he was wrong.
From the woman’s eyes, there was not even the slightest bit of obsession for him. Instead, she looked at him as if she was looking at a stranger. A stranger who was a threat to her and her son.
If so, should he re-examine the woman from another perspective?
As Mu Tingfeng thought about it, he instinctively reached out to touch his palm with the dull aching teeth marks. A glimpse of light darted across his pair of dark, blue eyes.
Before Xia Zhetao had even snapped out of the lingering fear of death, he raised his head, only to see his superior staring at the teeth mark in a daze. He frowned and grew increasingly puzzled.
‘Didn’t they say that President Mu was the one who took the initiative to divorce his wife? Why does the president look like he still has unresolved feelings for the former Mrs. President? Could the rumors be false?!’
On the other hand, Zhao Youlin hurriedly fled the pet shop with one hand carrying her son, Joy, and the other carrying the husky. After running for some distance, she turned her head around to ensure no one was coming after them. It only then did she stop and slightly heave a sigh of relief.
No one could blame Zhao Youlin for her paranoia. She had spent most of her years skirting by the valley of death. As such, she had developed intuitions that did not belong to civilian life.
The moment Mu Tingfeng grabbed her wrist, she was very much alert and intuitively knew that this man was very strong. He was much stronger than her.
Therefore, it would be utter recklessness to lunge forward at him and put her life at stake, knowing well that he was way better than her.
Moreover, she had a child with her. She could not take the risk under a circumstance where she could not guarantee if she could subdue him. As such, she was sensible enough to flee instead.
However, that did not stop her at all. She gained some interest as she fled. After all, not everyone could grab her wrist.
“Mommy…” As soon as Joy was put down on the floor, he grabbed Zhao Youlin’s hand. Those clear eyes instantly became teary.
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She hurriedly placed down the cage with the husky to one side and squatted down. She touched Joy’s fleshy little face, and she said softly, “What’s the matter, Joy? Were you frightened just now? It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have let you watch it.”
Joy shook his head. He held Zhao Youlin’s reddened wrist again, and he sobbed, “Bad guy!”
Zhao Youlin froze. She finally understood what Joy meant. She said, “Joy, did you think that person is a bad guy?”
Joy widened his eyes, and he nodded firmly. In the eyes of an innocent child like him, anyone who hurt his mother was a bad guy.
Zhao Youlin let out a bark of laughter, “But Joy, he’s your father…”
Despite being reluctant, Zhao Youlin had to admit that Joy and the man shared the same blood. She could ask Mu Tingfeng to give up on his custody for Joy and even cut ties with him. However, she could not hide the fact that he was the man’s son from Joy.
Joy bit his lips. He said willfully, “Mommy, you’re all that I want.” Right after Joy spoke, he buried himself in Zhao Youlin’s arms. He held her tightly as if he was holding onto the last straw on Earth.
Zhao Youlin was trembling. The corners of her lips slowly curled upward. She reached out to caress her son’s soft hair in her arms.
She had undermined her son. In fact, ever since the day she asked if he was willing to depart from the Mu family and follow her, her son had already made a choice between herself and Mu Tingfeng.
She had thought it was only a child’s whim. Little did she realize that a child was very naive and serious at the same time. The moment he made up his mind, it also represented what he truly desired in his heart.
