Chapter 439 - Jealous (1)
Chapter 439: Jealous (1)
“What?” Zhao Youlin was busy organizing her mind that was in a mess because of Mu Tingfeng’s words. She suddenly stiffened for a moment after hearing Mu Tingfeng’s voice.
She reflexively looked up at him and simply did not realize what Mu Tingfeng had just asked.
Mu Tingfeng took this opportunity to lower his head closer to Zhao Youlin for a minute and restated what he had said, “I said, you are jealous.”
This time, Mu Tingfeng’s tone was much more certain than before. Zhao Youlin was confused for a moment. She became angry after she realized what Mu Tingfeng was talking about. “I… How can I be jealous? The story between you and your ex-wife has nothing to do with…”
In the end, Zhao Youlin could not bring herself to continue. She paused a moment before she raised her head to look at Mu Tingfeng. “That’s right. I am jealous. Although you said the one you like now is me. Fine, I believe you. But the past between you and your ex-wife, even though I know I should not be bothered by it, but the truth is, it just bothered me.”
Mu Tingfeng did not expect that Zhao Youlin would suddenly have an outburst. It took him quite some time to recover himself. The smile on his face only grew wider than ever.
Zhao Youlin had finally let out all the grievance in her heart, only to see the smile appearing on the corner of Mu Tingfeng’s lips.
Before she could feel surprised by the fact that Mu Tingfeng, who had a poker face could smile like that, her heart was immediately filled with fury.
The feeling of touch and joy that emerged in her heart because of what Mu Tingfeng said previously were completely gone.
What does this guy mean? Was he mocking her for being jealous of him over matters that he did not do?
“I say, why are you smiling…”
Before Zhao Youlin could finish, she was startled by Mu Tingfeng’s sudden hug. “Mu Tingfeng, what are you doing all of a sudden?”
“I am glad.”
“What?” Zhao Youlin’s body trembled a little. Her hand that was going to push him away stiffened instantly.
“I’m glad that you care. That shows you are not without feelings for me. But there is one thing I must make clear, whether it is in the present or in the future, there is only you.”
What Mu Tingfeng was afraid of the most was that Zhao Youlin did not care. Because if it did not matter, it meant that she did not care. If Zhao Youlin did not care about his past, it only meant that she did not have feelings for him at all.
But she cared about him now, and there was really only one her now.
Now Zhao Youlin was not only the person he loved, but she was also the mother of his child. And that was all he wanted.
Zhao Youlin obviously heard what Mu Tingfeng was trying to tell her. Her hands that were going to push him away hesitated for a moment. Then, they slowly reached to Mu Tingfeng’s back and hugged him back.
And Mu Tingfeng had felt that she was embracing him back. His lips curled up and his arms around Zhao Youlin tightened.
The faint warmth between the two diffused. No one spoke again. They only quietly savored the happiness that belonged to them at this moment.
The soft sunlight slipped in through the wind-swept curtains, spreading over their bodies. The two long-suffering hearts had never been closer than they were now.
The time passed quietly as the temperature in the room continued to rise, until a certain killjoy once again spoke out, breaking the silent and tender atmosphere between them.
“I say, is that why you have been reluctant to remarry me?”
Mu Tingfeng’s sudden question caused the atmosphere in the room to suddenly turn cold.
Zhao Youlin’s expression darkened instantly. She forcefully pushed Mu Tingfeng back several steps away and glared at him fiercely.
At this moment, she had completely withdrawn from the shock that Mu Tingfeng actually knew from the beginning that she was not his ex-wife.
After learning that who Mu Tingfeng liked was indeed her, what she cared more about now was that Mu Tingfeng had obviously known everything for a long time and had been keeping it from her without saying anything.
As someone who knew, he did nothing and watched her struggling to cover up her secret. He even teasingly watched her gloat when she got away with her lies, and perhaps at some point, he even secretly laughed at her.
The more Zhao Youlin thought about it, the angrier she got. Then, it was as if she had recalled something, she narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, “We will talk about this later. You just mentioned Bing. I suddenly remembered something. I heard earlier that Bing was sent abroad by his father to study after grandpa’s birthday banquet. It has been a year and I haven’t seen him returning home to meet old friends like us. Does this… have anything to do with you?”
Mu Tingfeng did not expect that Zhao Youlin would ask about Luo Weibing at a moment like this. He was stunned for a moment and was quite upset that Zhao Youlin was still thinking about other men at this time. His eyes were slightly austere and he said in a deep voice, “Young master Luo is no longer young. His father thought that since he is growing up, he should also go abroad to cultivate himself, so he sent him abroad. What does that have to do with me?”
“It really has nothing to do with you?” Zhao Youlin, however, did not believe that Mu Tingfeng had been completely uninvolved in this matter.
How could it be such a coincidence that Luo Weibing’s father only sent him abroad at times like this? Especially that he was sent abroad in a rush after he attended the old master’s banquet and danced with her. Something was definitely not right in there!
“You care about him that much?” Mu Tingfeng did not answer Zhao Youlin directly, instead, his face coldly darkened and asked dangerously.
Zhao Youlin was a little stunned. Her eyes flickered slightly and she chuckled. “Of course I care about him. I have known Bing for seven to eight years. I was his instructor when he was in high school. I have spent time with him for so long after that. Besides Mu Chen, I am the closest with him, or I would not have asked him for help before.”
After Zhao Youlin mentioned what happened back then, Mu Tingfeng’s face became gloomy. He did not forget that when he first noticed Zhao Youlin was a little different, it was the day they signed the divorce paper.
And that day, Zhao Youlin was followed by Luo Weibing. Most importantly, Luo Weibing appeared in front of Mu Tingfeng as Zhao Youlin’s boyfriend at that time.
At that time, other than being a little surprised and confused, Mu Tingfeng did not feel anything else, but now it was not the same for him.
The thought of that guy having been so close to Zhao Youlin, and she had even abandoned him for that ‘adulterer’ and danced with him for a whole song in public, he was furious.
The more Mu Tingfeng thought about it, the angrier and more regretful he was. He really should not have just kicked Luo Weibing out of the country, it was too lenient for him!
