Chapter 435: Return To The Mu Family (2)
The old butler stared at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng with a stunned look on his face. What did he just say?
Young Master Tingfeng would remarry Madam Youlin. And Madam Youlin would move back here to the Mu mansion with Young Master Joy?
‘I thought Young Master Tingfeng really hated Madam Youlin before? Why did he suddenly … Could it be that those rumors earlier were true? Did Young Master Tingfeng really change his attitude and fall in love with Madam Youlin now?’
Zhao Youlin looked at the surprised expression that the old butler did not have time to hide from his face. She easily figured out what was on the old butler’s mind.
She gritted her teeth in a resigned manner. Then, she turned and glared at Mu Tingfeng. “Remarry? President Mu, don’t you think it is still too early to talk about that?”
“I don’t think it is early. All I need is just a yes.” Mu Tingfeng stared intently into Zhao Youlin’s eyes and replied implicitly.
Zhao Youlin was rendered speechless for a while. After a pause, she refused to be put in a passive position, so she sneered and said, “Okay, let’s say that even if we do get remarried, why should I be the one who moves to your place, instead of your moving to ours?”
For many people, moving into one’s house after getting married showed who had the upper hand in a relationship.
In layman’s terms, after Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng got married, if Zhao Youlin moved into Mu Tingfeng’s house, that meant Zhao Youlin had married into Mu Tingfeng’s family.
But if it was Mu Tingfeng who moved to Zhao Youlin’s place, then in the eyes of the people out there, Mu Tingfeng… would be the one who married into Zhao Youlin’s family!
The old butler had just recovered himself from the shock when he was struck again by the conversation between Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng.
What did he… just hear? Young Master Tingfeng not only wanted to remarry Madam Youlin, but he also wanted to move into Madam Youlin’s house? Wasn’t that…?
“Master Tingfeng, you can’t…” Young Master Tingfeng was the master’s only son in this generation. How could he marry into somebody’s family? No way. Absolutely not.
Unfortunately, before the old butler could finish his words, he was scared out of his wits by Mu Tingfeng’s reply.
“I can do that.”
‘What?!’ The old butler and Zhao Youlin widened their eyes at the same time. They stared at Mu Tingfeng in disbelief, like they were looking at a… monster.
“What did you just… say?” Zhao Youlin’s mouth fell open a little, and she asked with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
Zhao Youlin’s look obviously pleased Mu Tingfeng, as the corners of his lips slowly rose a few degrees. Then, he leaned over and got closer to Zhao Youlin’s face before he said flirtatiously, “I said, I can do that. As long as you agree to remarry me, I can move to your house.”
The old butler, who was standing aside and being cruelly ignored, nearly had a heart attack when he heard Mu Tingfeng’s words.
Young Master Tingfeng actually agreed to do so! In order to remarry Madam Youlin, Young Master Tingfeng was actually willing to put aside his pride to marry into Madam Youlin’s family?
Mu Tingfeng’s answer not only scared the old butler, but also scared Zhao Youlin, who proposed that.
She just proposed that to get Mu Tingfeng off his high horse so that he would not be so smug.
But she still underestimated this man’s shamelessness. He actually… He actually agreed without any hesitation. Did this guy not notice that the old man was going to faint after being shocked by what he said?
Luckily, Zhao Youlin knew how to respect the elderly compared to Mu Tingfeng. Looking at the old butler, who was looking like he had taken a heavy blow, she cleared her throat and replied with great modesty, “President Mu, your spirits are really high! However, I am so sorry, our family is too ordinary, I am afraid we cannot accommodate such a great man like you.”
Zhao Youlin had thought that what she said would put an end to this subject. However, she obviously underestimated Mu Tingfeng’s… shamelessness.
After hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered slightly. Then, he smiled and said, “Youlin, are you saying that there is not enough room in the Zhao mansion? It’s okay, I can share your room with you, I do not mind.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. ‘But I do mind!’
‘Hang… Hang on! Darn it! That’s not the point at all! Do not distort what I’m trying to say! Also, share a room with me? Could this guy be any more shameless?’
Zhao Youlin gasped. She had wanted to raise her head and give Mu Tingfeng a glare. Though she did not expect that after she looked up, all she could see in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were unconcealed possessiveness and domination.
Her heart trembled fiercely. She had to swallow back the curse that was at the tip of her tongue. She rolled her eyes and wanted to pull her hand out of Mu Tingfeng’s hand.
However, it was as if Mu Tingfeng had already expected that she would do that, so he tightened his grip on Zhao Youlin’s hand a second before she tried to draw it back.
As a result… Zhao Youlin still could not draw her hand back after trying for quite some time. She was so mad that she hissed in a low voice, “Mu Tingfeng, let go.”
Mu Tingfeng watched Zhao Youlin struggle with an expressionless face. “No.”
Zhao Youlin stopped struggling for a second. She raised her head and glared fiercely at Mu Tingfeng, who remained expressionless.
They continued to stare at each other, and both refused to back off. A terrifying current could be vaguely detected between them, and they could even smell gunpowder in the air; it was really frightening.
In the end, the old butler who was once again being ignored by them coughed lightly, because he could finally no longer stand this flirtatious behavior of the two. It was as if they were the only ones in the room! He reminded them. “Young Master and Ms. Zhao, you seem to have something to discuss. In that case, I had better leave you two alone. However, Young Master, Ms. Zhao, it’s better if you can do it someplace… more quiet and alone.”
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng snapped out of whatever mood they were in upon hearing that. Mu Tingfeng pondered for a moment before he nodded and agreed to let the old butler leave. He held Zhao Youlin’s hand and pulled her toward the opposite direction.
When the old butler left, his legs were trembling and weak. It was enough to see that he finally spoke calmly to stop the two from staring at each other, but the fact was that he had not recovered himself yet from those previous shocking revelations.
Mu Tingfeng dragged Zhao Youlin further inside the house. They did not meet anyone along the way.
Yesterday, Mu Tingfeng had instructed that all servants could only move around in the front room and downstairs today; they should not be seen around anywhere else. As for the other two masters in this residence …
Mu Xiaoyang and Mu Tingfeng seemed to have reached some kind of agreement beforehand, and he went out early in the morning with the dangerous person, Su Ruixin. Therefore, Mu Tingfeng was not worried that some insensitive idiot would barge in and ruin the atmosphere when he and Zhao Youlin were alone today.
Zhao Youlin followed Mu Tingfeng directly upstairs. They got past the stairs and walked to the door of a room that Zhao Youlin was very familiar with.
This room seemed to be the one that… she lived in when she temporarily lived in the Mu mansion at first.
Before Zhao Youlin could recall more memories, Mu Tingfeng had opened the door to the room. He reached out to pull her before he pushed her directly into the room.
Zhao Youlin was caught off guard when she was pushed, and she was shoved into the room before she could react.
She stumbled a little on the spot. After she stabilized herself, she wanted to lash out at a certain someone. But when she saw the furnishings in the room, she was stunned.
