Chapter 387: We Understand (1)

“Oh, I suddenly remember that I still have something else to handle. You two may continue… just continue…”

After Duan Yarong was stupefied for a brief moment, she looked like she had been stung by something. She sucked in a cold breath before she closed the door with force and fled away.

From a distance, Zhao Youlin could still overhear Duan Yarong’s conversation with Zhao Shunrong, who had been following closely behind her.

“What’s happening? Why are you looking so panicked?”

“It’s all about Youlin and President Mu. The two of them are… inside the bedroom under broad daylight… Oh dear, how shall I put it? I’m already so old… That’s so shameful!”

Zhao Shunrong was outside the door, and he seemed like he had fallen silent for some time after hearing Duan Yarong’s words. The next moment, he heaved a sigh and said, “Haven’t I told you just now to look for them at a later hour? Now, you’ve seen something that you shouldn’t have seen. They are young people. Young people are energetic and they are likely more impatient. It’s understandable.”

When Zhao Youlin heard their words, the corners of her lips unwittingly twitched. Seriously, was the person outside who spoke such words truly her incredibly serious father?

Why did she feel like she heard a hint of unspoken understanding from his words? This was absurd!

Wait, unspoken understanding?! Zhao Youlin’s entire body shuddered. She turned around stiffly and looked up at the man who was equally as shocked as her. Finally, she realized how flirtatious the position of the two was at that moment.

Due to their difference in height, Zhao Youlin was pressed against the wall by Mu Tingfeng and she was in his arms. Without knowing when, one of his hands had been placed on Zhao Youlin’s waist in order to support her body.

They naturally formed a position where one had the other pinned against the wall, and it was the cliche sort of position where everyone longed for.

Moreover, Zhao Youlin had struggled hard just now. Therefore, her clothes no longer looked as neat as they were when she entered her room.

From afar, it looked like the two had done something steamy. Something which was inappropriate for children.

When they realized this, a hint of embarrassment inexplicably showed up on Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s faces.

“You…” The two spoke at the same time. The original awkward atmosphere grew increasingly bizarre.

After being intervened by Duan Yarong, the two lost interest in continuing the previous topic. They only wanted to get rid of this absolutely bizarre atmosphere.

Still, someone was not that willing to follow their wills.

Just when the two were cracking their heads on how to switch the topic, the room door that had been closed a while ago was once again pushed open from outside.

However, this time, Duan Yarong did not enter. Instead, it was…

“Ahem…” Zhao Shunrong cast a glance at the two who were still in their flirtatious position. A hint of resignation unusually appeared on his usual serious expression.

He faked a few coughs and said solemnly, “Young people like you guys are in good health. But, you also have to be restrained a bit. It’s still daytime now.”

Zhao Youlin’s entire body abruptly shuddered. She realized she and Mu Tingfeng were still maintaining the same flirtatious position. A strong force suddenly arose out of nowhere.

She immediately pushed away from the man who was pressing himself against her and was about to explain in a flurry of motion, “Father, we’re not like what you’re thinking, we’re just…”

Before Zhao Youlin had finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng, who had been pushed away, quickly interrupted her. He said in a teachable manner, “I have not considered things carefully. I’ll pay attention to it in the future.”

Zhao Youlin’s explanation that had been at the tip of her tongue was stuck. Her eyes were uncontrollably wide open and she stared at Mu Tingfeng with incredible bizarreness as if she was looking at a crazy fellow.

What was it with him paying attention to it? They clearly had not done anything just now, okay? Why did he say something so ambiguous? Had he not just made an unfounded confession?

Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin could not help but glare at Mu Tingfeng fiercely.

Unbeknownst to her, when Zhao Shunrong saw her glare at Mu Tingfeng, he interpreted it in a way that her precious daughter was shy after their activity that was inappropriate for children had been exposed.

Again, he faked a cough and said with some relief, “You guys don’t have to be too shy over this. Your mother and I have experienced all this before. We understand things like this… We do…”

Zhao Youlin fell speechless.

Mu Tingfeng was speechless.

It would have been better had Zhao Shunrong not said a word. Right after he finished speaking, Zhao Youlin felt that her mood had turned foul.

‘What did you guys understand about it? You guys don’t understand a thing. Me and this guy over here are innocent! Both of us are innocent!’

“Alright. I don’t want to say much. If anything, you two could continue afterward. Let’s go down and have a meal first. The former master and Joy are already waiting downstairs. President Mu, join us for dinner before you leave.”

Upon hearing Zhao Shunrong asking him to stay on, his eyes lit up and he said politely, “Thank you, Uncle and Aunt.”

Zhao Youlin identified an obvious hint of glee from his words. She could not help but glare at him once again.

Zhao Shunrong nodded his head. After he had finished speaking what he had wanted to say, he did not want to continue to stay on and be the third wheel. He closed the door, turned around and left.

As Zhao Youlin stared at the room door that was closed once again, she gritted her teeth. ‘Next time, I must remember to lock the door whenever I enter the bedroom!’

After two sessions of brief interlude, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng no longer bothered about and fought over that issue. They smoothed out their clothes in a flurry of motion and dashed downstairs.

If they spent a few more seconds upstairs, the people downstairs would continue to fantasize things about them.

Even though Mu Tingfeng had not been able to corner Zhao Youlin to confess to him this time, it was a blessing in disguise because he could stay with Zhao’s family for dinner. Mu Tingfeng was inexplicably in a good mood.

This was Mu Tingfeng’s first time having dinner in the Zhao family’s residence with so many members of the Zhao family.

Before he was divorced from Zhao Youlin, whenever the members of the Zhao family had taken the initiative to visit his house, he had avoided them by every possible means, much less pay a visit to their house. He simply did not want to face that annoying woman’s family members.

Perhaps, now, no one had a stronger desire than him who could not wait to blend in Zhao Youlin’s life and form an amicable relationship with the relatives whom Zhao Youlin cared about. As the saying went, what went around came around.

By the time they came downstairs, Duan Yarong and the rest of her group were already seated.

The scene looked absolutely normal with a group of people sitting around the table, all with smiles and discussing which dish tasted more delicious.

The people around the table totally did not look like they had just run into something that they should not have seen and had misunderstood any of it.

When Zhao Youlin saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief. After she locked gazes with Mu Tingfeng for a while, she sat beside Joy discreetly and placed dishes on Joy’s plate like she normally did.

When the former master saw the two had seated themselves, he faked a cough. As a host, he greeted Mu Tingfeng, “I didn’t know you would come before this, so I didn’t prepare your favorite dishes. All these are just normal home-cooked dishes. President Mu, I hope you wouldn’t mind. Just take whichever dishes that you like and make yourself at home.”
