Chapter 351: An Overnight Surprise (1)

Xia Zhetao’s lips slightly curled upward. He subconsciously relaxed his foot on the gas pedal to slow down the car. He did not want to disturb the family in the back seat. At the same time, he selfishly wanted a warm image like this to stay on for a while longer.

Unfortunately, no matter how long the journey was, in the end, they would still arrive at the destination after a long journey.

The moment the car stopped, Zhao Youlin slowly opened her eyes.

She had always been a light sleeper. She easily woke up from her dreams upon hearing any sound or movement. Besides, she initially only thought of resting for a while by leaning against Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder. She did not intend to sleep. She never expected she really had fallen asleep once she leaned against him.

It must have been due to the many consecutive torturous incidents that had happened tonight. Moreover, Mu Tingfeng’s embrace was very warm and comfortable. Zhao Youlin deceived herself the moment she just woke up while her head was still in confusion.

She had not completely woken up. The moment she subconsciously looked up, her soft and tender lips slowly brushed the side of the face of the man who had bent over to watch her reaction. The man, who had been hugging her tightly, was provoked and his heart clenched tightly.

“Have we arrived?” Zhao Youlin surveyed the surroundings. After she confirmed that she had reached home, she adjusted the angle of holding Joy and moved out of Mu Tingfeng’s arms. She opened the door and got out of the car.

“I’ll take Joy inside first. It’s getting late, you guys should hurry back too.” After Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait.”

Zhao Youlin paused mid-stride. She turned her head around and looked at the back seat. She asked in puzzlement, “Is there anything else?”

The rear window at the back seat was gradually wound down, revealing Mu Tingfeng’s expressionless face. “What kind of flowers do you like?”

Xia Zhetao had already pricked up his ears as early as the moment Mu Tingfeng stopped Zhao Youlin in order to eavesdrop on their dialogues. He tilted his body sideways once he heard Mu Tingfeng’s words and nearly fainted.

‘President, of all the questions, why must you ask this?! Darn it. This reminds me of my deducted bonus again! Sob…’

Zhao Youlin was also stunned upon hearing Mu Tingfeng’s words. She immediately recalled the roses and blue enchantress she had received in the beginning. She said in a low voice and deliberately kept him in suspense as she said, “In fact, I don’t have any particular preference in flowers. But, if I have to choose one, I’ll prefer…”

“Mhm?”

“Foxtail Lilies. I prefer foxtail lilies.”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes lit up. He quickly shot a glance at Xia Zhetao who was sitting in the front seat.

Xia Zhetao instantly received his hint. He hurriedly gestured to Mu Tingfeng to express that he had already gotten it and he knew what he had to do next.

Mu Tingfeng withdrew his gaze and continued, “Another thing.”

“Huh? What is that?”

“I’ll come and pick you up next Saturday at nine in the morning.”

Zhao Youlin was struck dumb. She asked in puzzlement, “Pick me up? For what?”

Just when Zhao Youlin was dumbfounded, Mu Tingfeng narrowed his eyes and quickly peeked out of his car. He kissed her lips and blurted out, “A date.”

“W-What…?” Zhao Youlin’s pupils shrank. She was about to seek clarification about this from Mu Tingfeng, only to find that the car window had already wound back up. The next moment, the car engine started and it disappeared into the night. He had not given Zhao Youlin a chance to refuse him.

Zhao Youlin fell speechless.

Xia Zhetao cast a glance at the rear mirror and was greeted by the sigh of his superior whose face had turned beet red. Xia Zhetao sighed to himself, lamenting his president’s pure and innocent love, while keeping himself calm, pretending not to have noticed anything.

When the heat at the tip of his ears faded, Mu Tingfeng finally resumed his shrewd and competent appearance. He said coldly, “I want the news about Zhang Group’s bankruptcy within a month.”

His deep and attractive voice carried a hint of absolute coldness and hostility. Xia Zhetao, who was driving in the front seat, could not help but shiver.

Zhang Group was a company that belonged to that man at the banquet. Xia Zhetao’s expression changed slightly. Indeed, his president did not intend to spare that man regarding the incident that had happened at the banquet. His president even wanted his company to go bankrupt! That was so brutal of him!

On second thought, if Xia Zhetao was not hostile to the Zhang Group, his president certainly would be hostile to him!

As such, with the so-called noble moral virtue of sacrificing others instead of himself in mind, Xia Zhetao swore to him, “Be rest assured that I’ll complete the mission!”

Mu Tingfeng was satisfied. He raised his left hand and slowly rubbed against his right hand which he had used to wrap around Zhao Youlin’s shoulders just now, it was as if by doing so, he could regain the warmth of hugging Zhao Youlin.

After some time, a glimpse of bone-chilling light was caught in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes.

That family had dared to curse Zhao Youlin and his son in front of the public. Once they lost their back-up and the only capital they could use to show off, he wondered how they were going to continue to act so arrogantly and even survive among the upper-class society, where they feared the strong but bullied the weak, and kicked dogs when they were down.

One had to say, President Mu and Zhao Youlin shared the same characteristic in terms of protecting their closest ones.

Before he fell for Zhao Youlin, he would have just brushed the matter off. Now, he had confirmed her as his ideal partner, he certainly would not allow anyone to lay their fingers on her and his son. Otherwise, they had to be prepared to face his fury!

The night was bleak, and it covered the vast land with unknown colors.

Under the inky night curtain, midnight lights were all lit up and glowing brightly. It cast a subtle charming taste in the silence of the midnight.

At that moment, inside a bar that was located in the center of the city, the sound of music was deafening, leading countless young men and young women in their adolescence into a frenzy.

While many people were resting at that moment, this was only a beginning for them.

In the middle of the large dance floor, countless men and women were dancing, embracing and kissing under the deafening music. They were seeking pleasure that solely belonged to them.

In the midst of such a lively atmosphere, some people came here to seek emotional catharsis in order to release their resentment and… loneliness buried in their hearts.

In front of the cold bar, a gentle and handsome young man was pouring glasses of wine into his mouth.

The bartender had been moving swiftly to mix and serve the wine, yet he still could not catch up to the young man’s speed of drinking the wine.

His long, slender, fair and artist-like knuckles held the wine glass and pulled it to himself before he poured the wine into his mouth without hesitation.

From the side angle, one could see his extremely sexy throat knot moving up and down, which inevitably gave off a deadly temptation that solely belonged to a mature man. Many women beside him were intoxicated by the sight of him.

Long before the young man entered through the door of the bar, unbeknownst to him or perhaps, in circumstances where he had been oblivious about, many young ladies had already laid their eyes on him.

When they saw him getting drunk and his usual bright and cunning eyes were getting bleary, the women who were staring at him could no longer hold themselves back. They were eager to make their move.

In the end, a woman wearing a black low-cut tee with a pair of brown and extremely short, hot pants went up to the young man. She sat down on the empty swivel chair at his left. She smiled as she said, “Hi, handsome. Is this seat taken? If you don’t mind, could I sit down for a while?”
