Chapter 141: Dog Fight (1)

The truth had always been there. Yet, no one dared to reveal it because he knew that the moment he did, he would fall into the abyss and lose himself.

Mu Tingfeng fell silent for some time before he said with much difficulty, “I don’t know.”

It sounded hilarious given the fact that he had experienced marriage once and even had a child. However, the truth hurt.

Before this, he had never been attracted to any women, much less knew what affection was.

He once envisaged meeting a woman who won his affection that could make him willingly spend the rest of his life with her, right after he became an independent adult.

Unfortunately, all these wonderful visions came to naught after the incident that happened four years ago.

After four years, Mu Tingfeng finally succeeded in getting rid of the woman who he had always hated. Little did he know that it was… the same woman who had made his heart flutter for the first time.

Upon hearing Mu Tingfeng’s words, Su Ruixin nearly wanted to roll her eyes, an action that totally contradicted her elegant appearance.

‘What did he mean by that? How could he not even have any idea about this?!’ Indeed, she was right. This rascal was just like his father. They were equally retarded, both had cold outer shells but passionate love deep down from the bottom of their hearts. By the time they were enlightened, the ladies were all gone!

Su Ruixin heaved a sigh. She sat closer to Mu Tingfeng and asked, “Do you mean you don’t know if you’ve fallen for a lady? Fine, let me ask you, do you often think of her subconsciously?”

Mu Tingfeng instinctively looked down. Su Ruixin continued, “When you spot her among the crowd, do you subconsciously gather all your attention on her regardless of how many people are around you two?”

Mu Tingfeng recalled the day when he was at the former master of the Zhao family’s grand birthday banquet and the woman who stunned the crowd… Perhaps… It seemed… Maybe it really was like that.

“You always do something for her subconsciously, something that you would never normally do. You also have mood swings because of her every move, and even change yourself for her.”

Mu Tingfeng remembered the day he had attended the former master’s banquet. He had obviously hated these kinds of gatherings. However, that night he actually… and when he saw Zhao Youlin shiver being blown by the cold wind as he sent her home, he instinctively stepped out of the car and blanketed her with his jacket. The scariest part was, ever since Zhao Youlin started the business, he had been hiding at every corner daily, stalking Zhao Youlin and her son’s each and every movement like a pervert.

“Last but not least, do you feel… slightly displeased when you see her interacting intimately with another man?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Tingfeng’s expression turned black. The images of Zhao Youlin holding Luo Weibing and the two dancing happily at the grand birthday banquet instantly flashed across his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable in his heart and grew increasingly angry. If he remembered correctly, that man was from the Luo family, right? He recalled that he saw the president of the Luo Group right beside him on that day. Coincidentally, the Luo Group happened to be negotiating a partnership with his company lately.

If that man was really from the Luo family, he truly had to consider carefully the possibility of cooperation between the two families.

Meanwhile, the young master Luo had no idea of the imminent disaster that was about to befall him. He was busy flirting with the pretty ladies and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He unwittingly shivered and sensed a… bad omen.

When Su Ruixin noticed Mu Tingfeng’s surrounding cold aura right after hearing her words, she already knew the answer. She sighed, patted his shoulders lightly and said, “My son, I wonder if you’re innocent or mentally retarded given the fact that you don’t even realize that you’ve actually fallen for her…”

When Mu Tingfeng sensed a hint of glee from Su Ruixin’s words, his expression darkened. But, he remained silent and looked away, not wanting to face Su Ruixin.

Su Ruixin was angry, but only for a brief moment when Mu Tingfeng turned a blind eye and deaf ear to her. She immediately recalled something. She did not know if she wanted to smile or laugh as she said, “Fine, in the end, it’s all up to you. As I mentioned, what matters most is your own happiness. If you truly like her, just go ahead and pursue her. Don’t stay stuck formulating new plans. Otherwise, by the time you miss the boat, you’ll regret it.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Tingfeng’s bluish eyes flickered slightly. A hint of complicated emotions appeared in his eyes.

A glimpse of light was caught in his eyes and soon, he rested on a spot, as if he had made up his mind. He seemed to have calmed his complicated emotions.

As for what kind of decision had been made, only the person concerned knew about it.

On the other hand, Zhao Youlin still had no idea that Mu Tingfeng had already sorted out his feelings for her and was about to take action. The third day after she had agreed with Master Zhao to join the Zhao Group, she was urged to start work, and she entered the Zhao Group’s entrance with Master Zhao proudly.

The day Zhao Youlin joined the Zhao Group was coincidentally the day Zhao Yifei returned to the company. Zhao Yifei got his job as a sinecure in the Zhao Group, which was completely different from his father.

To be precise, when Zhao Yifei joined the Zhao Group in the beginning, Master Zhao had assigned him to his father’s department so that he could start from the lowest level and work diligently like his father. At the same time, Master Zhao hoped that he was not as cowardly as his father.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yifei could not handle the job for long, no sooner after he worked there. He complained to Master Zhao and requested an easier job, preferably a department with more ladies around.

At that time, Master Zhao’s expression had already turned black, but he had remained silent. When Master Zhao bumped into Zhao Yifei the fifth time and saw him molesting a lady inside the company, Master Zhao felt incredibly disappointed with him. He immediately transferred Zhao Yifei to a department with little work and of course, fewer ladies as well. He could mingle all that he wanted with the ladies of his own kind.

During Master Zhao’s grand birthday banquet, when Zhao Yifei saw Zhao Youlin’s stunning appearance, he was overwhelmed by her beauty and even dared to go up to flirt with her. In the end, he risked losing his sight in Zhao Youlin’s hands because had been staring at some parts where he should not. Moreover, she had also taught him a great lesson before she left.

Ever since then, Zhao Yifei was admitted to the hospital for several days. In other words, he was also absent from work for a few days. It took him some time before he recovered. By the time he returned to the Zhao Group and the moment he stepped into the office, he heard a voice that he disgusted and hated the most.

“I heard a group of crows cawing early in the morning, and I thought something big must have happened. Little did I expect that it’s your comeback today. How are you, my beloved cousin? Is your hand alright? Are you able to carry heavy stuff? I hope you won’t become a handicapped right after having it stepped on once. Otherwise, that’s a real pity.”action
