President, Please Be Careful

Mu Tingfeng's expression became a little better as she watched Xia Zhetao leave the ward. But when he turned his head, he saw his mother ridiculing him with a faint smile.

“Tingfeng, what do you want to do by sending Secretary Xia in a hurry? Youlin said that she would chat with her friends alone. What you do is not entirely good.”

When Mu Tingfeng heard the word alone, his handsome face darkened even more. He said coldly, "It's hard to explain things if I let a man and woman chat alone without someone beside them."

She's jealous anyway. Su Ruixin rolled her eyes helplessly as she felt helpless for her awkward son, who never said what she meant. He slightly shifted his eyes. Then, he seemed to be thinking of something, so he deliberately sighed and said, “Even if there really is something between them, Youlin is now unmarried and the man looks young, so he may not have married either. Both are single, so you may not be able to do anything even if they do something.”

Su Ruixin's words hit Mu Tingfeng's nerves. The temperature in the ward dropped below zero in an instant, and Su Ruixin shivered from the cold.

Just when Su Ruixin thought that her conundrum might not respond to her, she heard Mu Tingfeng say very firmly, "She can only be mine."

"No, he used to be yours, but not anymore." Su Ruixin's endless words surprisingly attracted Mu Tingfeng's gaze.

Su Ruixin laughed. Ever since Mu Tingfeng joined the company at the age of eight and studied with her grandfather, it was difficult for her to see such a clear emotional expression on the child's face.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he saw such emotions on the face that was no longer young from being stared at by him.

Su Ruixin did not know whether she should cry or laugh when she saw Mu Tingfeng's obvious dissatisfaction. He could not help but reach out his hand to touch his son's head. This was something he had wanted to do for many years, but he had never done it.

“Because you care so much about her, you have to work harder to make her yours again.”

Mu Tingfeng's eyes flickered because of Su Ruixin's words, and the emotions in her eyes slowly subsided. He raised his head and looked at Su Ruixin with a bit of confusion. For a moment, he ignored the hand that made his head fall apart.

Facing Mu Tingfeng's questioning gaze, Su Ruixin smiled, “I'm not trying to burst your bubbles by mentioning this. I'd like to tell you that what has happened will remain even if you deliberately ignore it. You don't have to avoid it, and you have to deal with it. This way, you can find the problem that is between the two of you.”

After Su Ruixin spoke, a rare sense of guilt appeared on Mu Tingfeng's face.

He's correct. He had always ignored the fact that they had divorced once and they had nothing to do with each other now.

From the very beginning, he only wanted to reclaim the woman, but he never thought about whether she, who had lost faith in him, still needed him, whether she was still willing to return to him, or had she fallen in love with someone else.

As Mu Tingfeng thought of this possibility, his heart seemed to be crushed by something severe, making it hard to breathe.

Now that he looked back, after Zhao Youlin divorced him, he first attracted the third young master of the Ye family, who always hang out in the upper society but never really get close to a socialite. Then, he was targeted by the useless young master of the Zhao family, who tried to attack him repeatedly. Now, he was summoned by a man, whom he did not know the details of, to chat.

Mu Tingfeng's face darkened. He did not know what kind of relationship Zhao Youlin had with the man, and he did not know if Zhao Youlin was interested in the man.

But he could be sure that the way the man looked at Zhao Youlin just now showed that they were not just ordinary friends.

One had to say that a man's sensitivity to love a rival was comparable to a woman's sixth sense, so Mu Tingfeng was extremely anxious and had Xia Zhetao come out to watch.

Mu Tingfeng couldn't bear it as she thought of letting Zhao Youlin be alone with a man chasing after her.

But now, what else could he do other than hold it in? What should he do to regain his trust? What can he do to bring her back to his side?

Su Ruixin watched as Mu Tingfeng's expression changed several times. How could he not see what he was thinking? He sighed. The hand that touched his head turned around to hold his uninjured hand.

“I know what you think. You feel uncomfortable seeing Youlin close to another man.”

Mu Tingfeng's face was dark, and he did not speak. But Su Ruixin guessed the answer from her expression. He smiled and said, “I'm not against you doing this. I just thought that since you like her so much, and you really want her to return to your side, then you should learn one thing beforehand.”

"What?" Mu Tingfeng was surprised. He raised his head and looked at Su Ruixin in surprise.

"Honor!"

Mu Tingfeng frowned and repeated, "Honor?"

Su Ruixin nodded. "That's fine. It's a respect. I don't care if you give her flowers, take her to the movies, go shopping, watch flowers and the moon, or whatever. You have to work hard to catch up. As long as you succeed, I'll be happy to see it. I just wish you remembered one thing. Youlin is also human. He has his own decisions and choices, and he has the right to express his thoughts. He and you are the same. You have to respect it, and you cannot treat it like you treat your subordinates by imposing your decisions, thoughts, and preferences on them. You chase him and want him back to your side because you want him to be your closest lover and family, not a pedestrian who can be found everywhere.”

Even though he had only met Zhao Youlin twice, and the time he had hung out with her was only an hour or two, this hour or two was enough to make him see one's nature.

Zhao Youlin was not as weak and deceptive as she had thought back then, but she was firm. He was brave but not reckless, clever but not arrogant, and fierce but not cruel.

Perhaps because she was such a woman, it made her son, who had been alone for a long time, fall in love with her.

But to pursue such a woman, if Mu Tingfeng, an inexperienced person, treated her like how she treated her subordinates or the businessmen, who cooperated with her, not only would it be impossible to force her to give up, but it is also counterproductive.

So, sometimes chasing someone is also a very complex process.
