“Is it okay?” Mu Tingfeng moved along Zhao Youlin’s gaze. He insisted on getting an answer to his question.

Zhao Youlin felt that her cheeks were getting warm. Yet, Mu Tingfeng did not know how to restrain himself. She became angry and glared at him. She said annoyingly, “Shut up! You’re bleeding, how could you still be in the mood to talk about all this?! How did you come here from the hospital?”

After Zhao Youlin finished asking, Mu Tingfeng did not answer her even after taking him a long while. She felt her entire body boil with rage. She looked up and blurted out, “Say something, are you mute?!”

“You just asked me to shut up,” Mu Tingfeng said innocently.

Zhao Youlin felt speechless.

Looking at the furious Zhao Youlin who had just been choked by his words, there was a glimmer of a smile in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes.. He said, as if giving mercy to her, “Secretary Xia fetched me.”

“Secretary Xia?” Zhao Youlin’s eyes sparkled. “Where is he? Call him now!”

After Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng did not move. She was impatient and simply reached out for his body.

Mu Tingfeng froze. But, he did not stop her. He let her manhandle him.

It was only after some time that Zhao Youlin finally took out his phone from his shirt pocket. She found Xia Zhetao’s contact and dialed the number.

Her call was answered very soon. Zhao Youlin sensed Xia Zhetao’s excitement at the end of the line, “President Mu, have you found the former Mrs. President?!”

Zhao Youlin did not bother to correct the way Xia Zhetao had addressed her, she snapped in, “It’s me. Where are you now? Your president’s wound has torn open again, and he needs to be sent to the hospital. Okay, we’re now at…”

Mu Tingfeng stood at the side, quietly watching Zhao Youlin explain the situation to Xia Zhetao. She kept urging him to rush over to them. She probably did not even realize how nervous she looked at that moment.

The hint of a smile in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes grew increasingly profound. He knew that Zhao Youlin was worried about him. Knowing this alone was sufficient.

Xia Zhetao was not far away. The moment Zhao Youlin asked him to come over, he immediately reached them.

When Xia Zhetao saw the open wound on Mu Tingfeng’s arm, his expression looked strange. However, he soon put on another look, and he exclaimed, “President Mu, why is your wound dehisced and bleeding profusely?! You have to go to the hospital now!”

At that moment, Zhao Youlin was fully focused on Mu Tingfeng’s arm. She did not realize the strange phenomenon at all.

When they entered the car, Mu Tingfeng spotted something. He somehow saw the back of a familiar figure entering the restaurant anxiously, the same restaurant where he had dragged Zhao Youlin out.

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes sparkled. He glared at Xia Zhetao. Xia Zhetao felt a chill crept behind his back. When he turned around, he met his president’s murderous glance.

Mu Tingfeng immediately hinted at him by subconsciously looking in that direction. When Xia Zhetao captured a clearer sight of the young man pushing the entrance door and entered the restaurant, he instantly knew what was going on.

He wittily took out his mobile. While Zhao Youlin was entering the car, he quickly typed a short message and sent it out within a few seconds.

Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin was distracted by Mu Tingfeng’s words and did not notice the brief exchange between the two. She did not know that the moment the car started to move, a certain one in her office had successfully received the short message.

Su He’s expression changed when she read the short message. She immediately rose and said, “Li, I have some urgent matter, so I need to take a trip back home. Please help me to inform Secretary Xiao that I’ll be back in the evening.”

“Oh, okay,” Li spoke the two words just in time before the young lady opposite her disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the office that went empty within half an hour except herself, Li furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She wondered what was wrong with today that everyone was going out.

She felt bored inside the office all alone. She also wished to go out and take a stroll. Sobs…

It was within Xia Zhetao’s expectations that Zhao Youlin would personally send Mu Tingfeng out. However, he never thought once the two got in the car, they started a cold war out of nowhere behind the car seat.

They had not spoken to each other since the beginning. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Therefore, the mighty secretary Xia who was driving the car felt extremely pressured.

Zhao Youlin had basically handled Mu Tingfeng’s wound before they got in the car. Fortunately, it had stopped bleeding now.

However, a dehisced wound should not be taken lightly. Mu Tingfeng was so tortured that his face looked more troubled compared to when he got hit by the gunshot previously.

Looking at Zhao Youlin who had been keeping a distance from him since they entered the car, Mu Tingfeng frowned. He said, “Youlin…”

“Shut up!” Before Mu Tingfeng finished speaking, Zhao Youlin glared at him, and immediately interrupted him.

Zhao Youlin also wondered why she was angry. Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s pale face and barely surviving look, she felt she was inexplicably suffering from a stroke.

Mu Tingfeng pouted when Zhao Youlin ignored him. He moved his body carefully. Little did he know that the moment he moved, he accidentally aggravated his wound.

The sudden pain hit Mu Tingfeng so much that he could not help but groan, “Ughhh…”

When Zhao Youlin heard the movement, she literally jumped out and scolded fiercely at Mu Tingfeng, “Why did you simply move around?! Don’t you know that your wound is dehisced?! Do you want it to bleed? Darn! Do you want to stay alive or not? If you want to die, tell me, I’ll go out, buy a fruit knife and stab you to death right away. This could save you the hassle from having to go to the hospital and asking for emergency treatment from the doctors!”

Zhao Youlin’s scream successfully shocked the mighty secretary Xia who was driving at the front. ‘Sobs, the former Mrs. President is very brutal. I’m so scared!’

Mu Tingfeng held Zhao Youlin outstretched hand as she was about to check his wound. He said in a low voice, “Alright, I won’t move. Don’t ignore me.”

Zhao Youlin froze. She felt her cheeks getting warm again. She turned her face to the other side embarrassedly. She neither agreed nor refused him. However, the fact that she did not pull out her hand from Mu Tingfeng’s tight grip had already answered his question.

Mu Tingfeng felt the warmth in his palm. He quietly leaned by the car window and looked at Zhao Youlin from her side. His gaze gradually softened.

Mighty Secretary Xia keenly sensed the temperature inside the car gradually rising. He looked at the rearview mirror, and saw the two holding hands openly. His jaw dropped.

He wondered why the atmosphere between the president and former Mrs. President became so harmonious. In fact… Their sudden togetherness had caught him by surprise. He felt like he had just been forced to watch two people flirting while being reminded that he was still single. He felt so helpless!
