President, Please Be Careful
168

That sudden jolt caused the two people inside the elevator to be slightly off guard.

Most of the time, the other employees in Zhao Enterprise rode the elevator in front of the main hall. Meanwhile, as Zhao Youlin rode the private elevator, it was located in a rather remote location, and it was difficult for others to find this place.

Because it's a bit far away, the lighting is definitely not very good. Normally, even if the lights in the elevator were on, it made no difference, but now, after the lights went out, Zhao Youlin felt her vision suddenly darken, and she could no longer see anything.

Then, the elevator under his feet seemed to sway slightly, causing his body to sway against his control, and he instinctively shouted.

Zhao Youlin originally thought that she would fall first and faceplant on the ground.

But the pain he expected did not come. Instead, he smashed into a sturdy but not stiff chest.

Although his nose hurt because of that, it was still better than his face hitting the floor.

Zhao Youlin rubbed her sore nose. His eyes gradually got used to the darkness, and he saw the contours of the figure before him, which was the only thing he could see now because of how dark it was. She asked doubtfully, "Mu Tingfeng?"

Zhao Youlin felt the hands on her waist become stiff. Then, a cold voice sounded above his head. "Yes." Yeah."

Mu Tingfeng gave a simple answer. Then, he felt it was inappropriate to act so cold, so he added, "Are you hurt?"

Zhao Youlin was stunned. Then, he shook his head. After she finished, she remembered that it was dark, and Mu Tingfeng could not see her actions at all. He said quickly, “I'm fine. You…"

"I'm fine too." Mu Tingfeng replied before Zhao Youlin could ask her question.

Zhao Youlin let out a sigh of relief. He looked at the dark surroundings and asked with a frown, “What happened? Why did the elevator suddenly stop moving? Why are the lights off?”

Mu Tingfeng remained silent for a while and furrowed her brows in the dark. He remembered everything that had happened just now, and a rarely seen grim expression appeared on his face. Even so, when he spoke, he still remained calm, and there was a calm voice in his voice that calmed the mind. “Electricity must have suddenly disconnected from the elevator. I'm pressing the emergency button now. The people below must come to our rescue immediately. Don't worry."

Zhao Youlin did not suspect him and nodded. "okay."

When Mu Tingfeng heard Zhao Youlin's reply, the worry in her eyes did not diminish but became stronger.

Zhao Youlin had never had an accident with an elevator before, so she had no idea what was going on, but Mu Tingfeng knew very clearly. A simple power outage in an elevator won't cause it to sway so much, as it just happened. There is a high chance of something happening to the elevator wiring.

The elevator had been going up for almost a minute before it suddenly stopped.

If there really was something wrong with the wires and almost a minute had passed since they started boarding, this meant they were likely to be between the 40th to 50th floors. Then if…

With that thought in mind, Mu Tingfeng tightened her grip on Zhao Youlin's waist.

Zhao Youlin had yet to fully think of the unexpected situation. Suddenly, she felt the arms on her waist tighten, and she immediately realized that after the elevator darkened, she fell into Mu Tingfeng's embrace.

Finally, he realized where the problem was, and Zhao Youlin felt ashamed. He asked hesitantly, “Um... Hey, can you let go? I don't feel comfortable enough.”

"It's for the best before the people below come and save us," Mu Tingfeng said properly, and he sounded so calm that no one would think that he was a pervert using the opportunity to take advantage of Zhao Youlin.

But if anyone took a closer look, they would see that Mu Tingfeng's ears started to turn red, she said, even though he is a boss who can stay calm and not even care no matter how big of a case he handles during negotiations.

Unfortunately, at that moment, the elevator was dark, and it was already quite difficult to see one's face clearly, let alone be aware of the subtle changes to one.

When Zhao Youlin heard Mu Tingfeng's explanation, she frowned slightly, but she was still unsuspecting of her intentions. He just felt a little surprised.

Based on how Zhao Youulin had previously communicated with the person in front of him, he thought that when he had fallen just now, he had, this person would think that he was playing cat and mouse with her and had thrown himself at her.

She did not expect this man to not really think this way and even supported her attentively. After she supported him, she did not push him either.

As Mu Tingfeng had said, it was better if the two of them held each other in this kind of situation, but based on their current situation, no matter what, it was, Mu Tingfeng was not the type of person who would be so considerate that she would accommodate others.

Zhao Youlin frowned. Before she had time to think about this deeply, she discovered that Mu Tingfeng's arms were trembling slightly around her.

'Is this guy afraid of the dark? But why should he? Is there some kind of ferocious monster here?’ No matter how he thought about it, Zhao Youlin could only think of one possibility.

"Mu Tingfeng, are you afraid of the dark?" Zhao Youlin was originally joking when she asked this question, although she was also trying to find an answer. To her surprise, when Mu Tingfeng heard this question, Zhao Youlin could clearly feel Mu Tingfeng trembling slightly.

At that moment, Zhao Youlin was completely shocked. 'This guy's afraid of the dark? My word! He was the president of the Mu Feng Group and the bachelor with the most potential in Shalnork, the ever stoic young master of the Mu family, and he was actually afraid of the darkness, like a girl?! If this comes out, it will definitely make headlines, and it might even make newspaper headlines in Shalnork!’

When Mu Tingfeng heard Zhao Youlin's question, she knew that Zhao Youlin .. had misunderstood because of her actions.

Actually, Mu Tingfeng's hands were trembling because she was nervous. This was the first time she had experienced the forbidden feeling of having a sweet-smelling woman in her arms.

Mu Tingfeng remained holy for over twenty years and lived a lifestyle that was almost the same as that of a monk. Other than the accident four years ago, she had never been in close contact with a woman before. Even when it came to the family, aside from the one time Su Qing deliberately hugged her arm in the hospital, she rarely made physical contact with members of the other gender like this.

This was especially the case after facing that problem four years ago. Mu Tingfeng discovered that the trauma left on her body by the accident was greater than she had expected, and she became obsessed with wanting her mind to remain pure at all times. He could not accept others approaching him, especially women. This was also why Mu Tingfeng had never touched his wife's name during those four years, and also why he had never done anything out of bounds with another woman.

But now, he discovered that he seemed to care more about this person than he had imagined. The long-abandoned desire on her body began to show signs of awakening just because she was hugging him under the blanket of darkness. This made Mu Tingfeng not know whether she should laugh or cry.

But since Zhao Youlin was already wrong, then she should let this misunderstanding continue.

To be mistaken for fear of darkness instead of hiding certain indescribable desires and greed is a very good exchange.

Mu Tingfeng was a businessman. He naturally knew how to use the existing conditions to create more benefits for himself.

Therefore, this beautiful misunderstanding continues because one of the two involved deliberately misleads the other.
