President, Please Be Careful
140

“What do you mean by my opinion of him?!” Mu Tingfeng stiffened. Although it was only for a moment, Su Ruixin sharply caught the sight.

Su Ruixin furrowed her brows. He looked at his son, who did not mean what he said, mischievously. “Of course I asked about your feelings for her.”

When Su Ruixin saw Mu Tingfeng open her mouth and was about to refute her, she tried to win by adding, "Tingfeng, don't hide this from me. I've heard from Qing that you seem troubled lately, especially after your divorce with that woman. So, be honest with me, are you …. ”

Before Su Ruixin finished her words, Mu Tingfeng's face darkened. He scolded Su Qing and her secretary head who was loud-mouthed to himself.

Poor Secretary Xia, he has taken pains to break away from the clutches of his president. Before he could even sigh in relief, he was once again accused out of nowhere, tragically. He kept sneezing while he was on his way back. He suddenly recalled that he must have gotten the flu from staying with his president in a cold room for a long time. Xia Zhetao was known to be tough and invincible. Now, he really got the flu. When he returned, he had to swallow some flu medicine capsules just in case.

“Mother, it is better for you to avoid this. She and I.” Mu Tingfeng's expression darkened. She wanted to tell her mother the same thing as she told Su Qing that she and Zhao Youlin were over.

However, he could not say the words.

Meanwhile, Su Ruixin had been waiting for Mu Tingfeng's next sentence. He asked anxiously, “What happened to you and him? Say it!"

A glance caught in Mu Tingfeng's eyes. She snorted, “Mother, I have my own way of doing things. So, don't worry about that.”

“How can I ignore it?!” Su Ruixin glared at Mu Tingfeng dissatisfiedly. “You've been under my care since young for quite a long time. How can you behave like your Dad when you are an adult?! You keep everything to yourself and talk very little, especially about your feelings. You were exactly like your father when he was young. She obviously has feelings for me, however, she always puts on a flat face. What he does is he often gives me various small gifts anonymously from the shadows. I thought he had no affection for me, and my heart sank. We almost passed each other. How frustrating..”.

At first, he complained. But, when she remembered how Mu Tingfeng's father had chased her when they were young, she started to sound flirtatious and beguiling.

Mu Tingfeng glanced at a certain person who was smiling like an idiot, completely immersed in his own memories. It got to the point where he found it hard to pull himself back into reality. So, Mu Tingfeng faked a cough at the right time to restore Su Ruixin's sanity.

When Su Ruixin heard a coughing sound, she shuddered. He remembered his initial intention and immediately sat still. She continued her graceful and noble appearance as usual. When Mu Tingfeng saw this, she subconsciously shivered.

Su Ruixin struggled to recover her image and said firmly, “Go back to the point. You look so much like your father. I'm afraid you might repeat your father's mistake. Even though your father and I didn't miss each other, if it wasn't for your father's cold appearance but a passionate love for me, we could have been together a few years earlier. No need to wait years.”

Su Ruixin purposely stopped here to observe Mu Tingfeng's expression, then she continued, “After all, not everyone in this world is as patient as I am, who can wait for someone like your father who is almost mute, who can wait for someone like you, finally enlightened. If your father hadn't met me back then, maybe you wouldn't have appeared in this world, right? So you can't doubt certain things. Otherwise, when you miss it, it is too late to regret it by then.”

'If Dad hadn't met you back then, it might have been a blessing to him,' Mu Tingfeng thought to herself dejectedly.

Meanwhile, Su Ruixin had noticed Mu Tingfeng's every move. When she saw the slight change in Mu Tingfeng's face, she cheered to herself and tried harder, "Tingfeng, be honest with me, what do you think of that woman? Four years ago, we knew that you found it so annoying that you hated it. Some of us don't even have a good impression of him. But, most of us are practically overseas and rarely meet. So, we don't really know much about your affairs.”

Su Ruixin sighed and continued, “If not for your grandfather's concern about the woman who already conceived your child and forced you to marry her, frankly, we will not agree to have a fraudster who has used force to gain your affection to marry into the Mu family. When we heard about your divorce, I breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if you could start all over again. Not long after, I heard from Qing that you and that woman ... "

Su Ruixin suddenly held onto Mu Tingfeng's hand and said, "Tingfeng, be honest with me, do you still care about the incident that happened four years ago? You are reluctant to forgive the woman easily, so you ... "

Mu Tingfeng was completely amazed by her mother's wild imagination.

However, when Su Ruixin mentioned this, Mu Tingfeng remembered that she used to have the same thoughts before her divorce with Zhao Youlin.

It was just that after their divorce, the thought slowly disappeared following his concern for Zhao Youlin.

After speaking for a long time and not receiving any response from Mu Tingfeng, the smile on Su Ruixin's face began to fade. She frowned as she said, “If that's the case, Tingfeng, I hope you're not joking about such things. It can easily hurt yourself as well as others. If you are unable to withstand the humiliation, with the current status of your family in Shalnork, there must be another way to vent your anger.”

'Vaporize my anger? Is my concern for Zhao Youlin purely to vent my anger? No... It's not like that.’

Mu Tingfeng instinctively denied Su Ruixin, "Mother, this is not what you think."

“Then, what is it?” Su Ruixin was overjoyed when she saw Mu Tingfeng finally reacting to her, "Can you ... fall in love with her?"

'Fall for him ?!' Those words exploded in Mu Tingfeng's mind like firecrackers, lighting up the deepest corner of his brain that caused his heart to pound which he had not realized before.

'Who just told me last night that you're divorced and now it's impossible between the two of you? But do you know what you look like now? You seem like a worried husband misunderstood by his wife! And before the divorce, you never treated her as your wife! Do you know what that means?’

The words that Su Qing shouted at her in the hospital continued to echo in her ears, bothering her for quite some time. But, at that moment, he got an answer.

Whatdoes thatmean? That is, when one begins to notice every movement, every smile, every emotion, and even every reaction, such feelings actually refer to affection.
