Chapter 423: Let’s remarry (1)
The man, who was holding Joy’s hand and slowly walked toward them from a short distance away, was wearing a decent suit. His face, which Zhao Youlin was incredibly familiar with, was as expressionless as always.
If this was during any other time, anyone who saw this man in this look would not be able to help but comment on the fact that he was releasing a domineering vibe. However, with Joy on his side, the image was simply weird.
The corner of Zhao Youlin’s lips could not help but twitch slightly. She was screaming quietly inside, ‘Darn it! What is Mu Tingfeng doing here? And why did it have to be today?”
“Mommy, Sister Yue Yue.” As soon as Joy saw Zhao Youlin and An Yue, who was standing beside Duan Yarong, his eyes lit up and he broke away from the hand that was holding him and ran toward the direction of the two.
An Yue hurriedly caught Joy who jumped over. She was delighted and nervous. “Joy, don’t run so fast, what if you trip?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I am a man. I won’t fall down. Why are you here in my house, Sister Yue Yue? I miss you, Sister Yue Yue, and …” Joy puffed out his little cheeks. He was a little embarrassed, as he continued, “And the little cookies you baked, Sister Yue Yue.”
An Yue was stunned for a moment. Then, she reached out to touch Joy’s little head. “I have brought you some cookies, Joy, but it’s time for lunch now, so you can’t eat them yet. We will eat them after we finish lunch, okay?”
Zhao Youlin had taken Joy to the store a few times. Those girls in the store were very fond of Joy, An Yue was no exception. When she was coming over this time, she naturally would not forget to bring some little gifts to Joy.
As soon as Joy heard that An Yue had really brought food for him, his eyes lit up instantly and he nodded his head repeatedly. “Okay, we will eat it after we finish eating lunch.”
What happened on An Yue’s side was so harmonious that people could not help but smile when they looked at it, but Zhao Youlin on the other side furrowed her brows as she was staring skeptically at Mu Tingfeng who had suddenly showed up.
Mu Tingfeng’s expression did not change as he met Zhao Youlin’s gaze, looking like he was ready to do everything to stay.
“Ahem …” The first to sense the strange atmosphere between the two was Zhao Shunrong. After a light cough, he said in a deep voice, “President Mu, since you are already here, let’s have lunch together.”
After Duan Yarong heard that, she agreed as well. “Yes, it’s rare to have so many people here, so let’s have lunch together.”
Mu Tingfeng gave Zhao Youlin a profound look and nodded. “Okay.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. ‘Do you dare to be any more expressionless? The excitement in your eyes was so obvious. Mu Tingfeng, you wretched man!
The good thing was that everyone in the family except Han Yichen and An Yue were familiar with Mu Tingfeng. Han Yichen and An Yue had met Mu Tingfeng a few times before, they were counted as acquaintances, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was not too awkward.
Duan Yarong, as the mistress of the family, was naturally the most enthusiastic one during the meal. After serving Han Yichen and An Yue, she turned to serve Mu Tingfeng.
“President Mu, I didn’t know that you were coming over today, so I didn’t ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes that you like to eat. Why don’t we make do with this first? I will have the kitchen make a few more of your favorite dishes and send over later. What do you like to eat?”
As soon as Duan Yarong finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng fixed his gaze on Zhao Youlin.
Zhao Youlin met his gaze, and somehow, a dirty joke that she had recently heard suddenly came to her mind.
Some girl asked some boy, “What do you like to eat?”
Some boy replied to some girl, “You.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless inside.
Zhao Youlin shivered. After realizing that she had just thought of something dirty, her face darkened instantly.
How could she suddenly think of such things? She must have had too much contact with that unreliable guy, Nie Yunfan recently and was affected by him.
Fortunately, Mu Tingfeng’s gaze did not linger on Zhao Youlin for too long. After noticing that Zhao Youlin’s expression looked a bit gloomy, Mu Tingfeng silently withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, “There is no need to bother. I am not a picky eater.”
If Su Ruixin had heard what he said, she would definitely have exclaimed in disbelief. Her son was not a picky eater? If her son was not a picky eater, then no one else in this world was!
Of course, the fact that Mu Tingfeng was a picky eater, other than Su RuiXin, someone present also knew it.
So, after listening to Mu Tingfeng’s “big lie”, Zhao Youlin decisively chucked a few big pieces from the plate in front of her into Mu Tingfeng’s bowl. Then she smiled and said, “Eat more carrots, it is good for your health.”
Mu Tingfeng was speechless.
Joy looked up very curiously at Mu Tingfeng. After seeing the carrots in Mu Tingfeng’s bowl, his eyes widened.
Mu Tingfeng was not sure what to do with the carrots in front of him. After seeing Joy look over, his eyes flickered slightly. He said nothing for a moment before he picked up the largest piece of carrot in his bowl and put it into Joy’s bowl. Then, he said nicely. “Eat more carrots, it is good for your health.”
Joy was dumbfounded. He looked at the carrot in his bowl and was quite overwhelmed.
He really could not understand how a carrot that was in someone else’s bowl a few seconds ago ended up in his own bowl in a flash. God knows, he hated carrots!
Joy pouted and glared indignantly at that scary big carrot in his bowl. He thought about it for a moment. Then, he picked up the fork clumsily and put the piece of carrot in his bowl back to Mu Tingfeng’s bowl. He said in a serious manner. “It is good for your health. Daddy, you eat.”
Mu Tingfeng was speechless.
Mu Tingfeng was being counterattacked by a child for the first time in his life. Although of course, this was also because he had never had too much contact with such creatures as children.
After a moment of stunned silence, Mu Tingfeng glared at the little kid in front of him.
On a normal day, if Joy saw that he was being glared at by him, he would have backed off.
But perhaps because he had spent some time with Mu Tingfeng recently. He knew that Mu Tingfeng would never hurt him. Perhaps in the face of his big enemy, the carrot, Joy threw away his so-called fear to the back of his mind. Hence, unexpectedly, Joy did not back off at all under Mu Tingfeng’s glare. Joy balled up his cheeks and glared back at him with his large eyes.
Seeing Joy’s reaction, Mu Tingfeng’s expressionless eyes darkened a little. He picked up the fork and put the carrot back to Joy’s bowl. “You are still a kid. You need to eat more of this.”
Joy looked at the carrot in the bowl and was even more defiant. He picked up a fork and put the carrot back in Mu Tingfeng’s bowl. “Mommy gave it to you, I should not eat it!”
They pushed the carrot back and forth, no one was willing to give way. And the poor carrot piece became the victim of their argument, as it was nearly being zapped into a carrot puree.
As the two pushed the carrot back and forth once more, the carrot snapped and fell on the table.
Mu Tingfeng was speechless.
Joy was speechless.
The others were speechless.
