President, Please Be Careful
332

The next day at night, Mu Tingfeng actually came as promised.

Zhao Youlin took Joy out of the house. Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong followed behind them.

Duan Yarong did not feel comfortable as she looked at Zhao Youlin intently. "Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?”

Ever since Zhao Youlin returned home, other than attending the former master's birthday banquet once, this was her first time attending someone else's banquet. Duan Yarong was not comfortable.

Zhao Youlin did not know whether she should laugh or cry. He is no longer a three-year-old. There was no need for his parents to accompany him to the banquet.

"Mom, it's okay. I know how to handle this situation. Joy, say goodbye to grandparents.”

"Goodbye, Grandpa, Grandma." Joy waved her hand at Duan Yarong and Zhao Sunrong obediently.

Duan Yarong failed to persuade Zhao Youlin. He turned his gaze to Mu Tingfeng, who had just exited his car. He sighed and said, "I'll leave Youlin and Joy in your hands, then.”

Mu Tingfeng replied in earnest, "Auntie, don't worry about them." After which, he nodded at Zhao Shunrong politely before he got into the car with Zhao Youlin.

As Joy looked at Mu Tingfeng, she buried herself into Zhao Youlin's arms timidly. He did not even dare to speak a word.

Zhao Youlin had noticed Joy. Soon, he also noticed the behavior of his son. She whispered sweet things into Joy's ears to make her happy and at the same time, she occasionally glared at Mu Tingfeng silently.

The boy still thinks this guy is annoying. If this continued, he wondered if he had made the right decision back then.

Mu Tingfeng had absolutely no idea that her stoic face was so afraid to be seen in the eyes of the child. He only knew that Zhao Youlin ignored him right after he got into the car. She didn't mind that she was just whispering sweetly to Joy, but she was also glaring at her!

Mu Tingfeng was sulking over the incident that happened last time. He felt himself suffering a stroke as Zhao Youlin glared at him.

Despite it all, he could not go berserk on his wife and son. Therefore, she sat quietly by the side while emitting a cold presence to the point that Joy kept shivering.

Sensing the drop in temperature inside the car, Xia Zhetao must have shivered. He was confused and looked at the rearview mirror to check the situation behind the car seat. It would be better if he didn't see it. As soon as he saw it, he was greeted by the sight of his president's face that had turned dark like lightning.

Xia Zhetao turned his gaze slightly to look at the mother-son duo, who were talking to each other happily.

Xia Zhetao. A bold speculation arose from his heart, 'is the President... jealous of ... his own son?!’

When Xia Zhetao thought of this, his face immediately turned strange. 'President, have you forgotten that you are still on probation?'

'The only condition to pass Your probation to become the official girlfriend of the former Lady of the President is to get the affection of the young master!’

Xia Zhetao forced himself to resist the urge to cover his face. He secretly bemoaned himself about the low level of emotional intelligence of his president which often resulted in his good intentions going awry.

As the saying goes, a secretary is only considered good if she is able to save the situation at a critical moment.

Everyone loves it whenever others praise their own children. Zhao Youlin was no exception either.

After listening to Xia Zhetao praise Joy for her cuteness, Zhao Youlin smiled at him in return. "Secretary Xia, you flatter her. Kids nowadays are very funny.”

"Not really. Many children today are as mischievous as monkeys as a result of being more pampered by their parents. They can't calm down. Hardly a lot of kids are as adorable and well-behaved as joy. My niece, for example, who is about the same age as Joy, often bullies other children in the community. He had been complained about by others many times, giving his parents a headache. If only he was obedient like Joy, he could have saved his parents so much hassle.”

After hearing Xia Zhetao's words, Zhao Youlin sighed. She stroked Joy's little head and said in a low voice, "I'd rather Joy behave like the boy you're talking about. A child should be more active and fun.”

"What's so hard about this? Joy just started attending kindergarten, didn't she? He's still a kid, after all. It is natural that he is more in control when he is with adults. Once she is in kindergarten and mingles with children from different backgrounds, she will naturally become more active and cheerful.’

"That's right.”

Once they hit the same chord, words will flow more easily in their conversation.

Xia Zhetao and Zhao Youlin talked to each other pleasantly and did not pay attention to Mu Tingfeng, who was ignored at the side, and whose expressions grew darker. Even Joy interfered in the conversation.

Joy was afraid of Mu Tingfeng, but she did not hate Xia Zhetao. In fact, he only had a good vibe to Xia Zhetao. This was because Xia Zhetao had bought her a cupcake when they boarded the same car last time.

The world of a child is quite simple. If someone gave him some gifts, and even if the gift was given as a passing thought, he would remember it by heart.

Therefore, when Xia Zhetao took the initiative to talk to him, Joy not only did not back down, but she was also excited and chatted with him.

When Zhao Youlin saw this, she also lamented, "Looks like Joy like you, Secretary Xia. I rarely see him chatting so much with outsiders other than our family members.”

Unbeknownst to Zhao Youlin, her lament was the last resort that pushed someone over the line.

Mu Tingfeng felt that she had completely lost the series of rationalities in her mind. Seeing Joy and the duo spending time in harmony, he exclaimed coldly, "Secretary Xia, you better focus on the road while driving. Don't be distracted.”

Since he could not spit on his wife and son, why not go berserk on his own secretary?

How dare his secretary chat so happily with his own wife and son?! If President Mu did not deduct all of Xia Zhetao's bonuses for the year, he would walk in his hands!

The smile on Xiao Zhetao's face turned stiff. He swallowed the next wave of flattery that was at the end of his tongue. Only then did he realize his president's expression had turned darker than before.

Wait, did the president misunderstand? He only spoke to the former Madam President and the Young Master President. Could this provoke the President?

'President, listen to me, it's not what you think. I did all this because of you!’

While Xia Zhetao was shouting his grievances in his heart, he did not dare to express any emotions on his face. He felt awkward and focused on driving. He no longer dared to speak even a single word with two in the back seat.

Joy, who had just chatted with Xia Zhetao, was shocked upon hearing Mu Tingfeng's words. His lips opened and he did not dare to speak a word.. He buried himself into Zhao Youlin's arms and did not dare to come out.
