Chapter 443: Joy Turns to Sorrow (1)

Mu Tingfeng’s expression turned blank for a second. The next moment, he looked like he had been struck by lightning. He gave a look of incredible disbelief, which was rarely ever seen. “What… did you say?”

If his staff were to witness him holding his current expression, they would have collapsed. Zhao Youlin thought of this without a sense of decency.

“What’s wrong? Can’t believe it? Fine, let’s just pretend I have not said anything, then.” Zhao Youlin secretly felt pleased in her heart, but acted otherwise and raised one of her eyebrows. She turned around and wanted to leave. The moment she turned around, she was pulled back forcefully.

She fell into the familiar embrace again. Zhao Youlin was not surprised at all. However, what had truly caught her by surprise was that the certain person’s body was trembling.

“I trust you! I trust you! You’re mine! You belong to me!” The delight in his heart was unreservedly delivered through his trembling body to the person in his arms.

Zhao Youlin did not hesitate. She stretched out her hand and returned his hug. She whispered to him, “Now that you believe in it, you should be more confident of yourself and have more… trust in me.”

In fact, Zhao Youlin also had no idea when her feelings for Mu Tingfeng had started to change.

Initially, she found him a little disgusted. After all, she had been forced to divorce the moment she had been reborn. This would certainly make any girl feel uncomfortable.

Later, she found him displeased at her sight. She was displeased with him because he had turned a blind eye to Joy. She had decided to adore Joy but he had instead been ignored by his biological father.

As a father, he had put in the effort to buy a birthday present for his niece. However, he did not even know when his son’s birthday was.

She thought that Joy was unworthy of such a father. As such, the feeling of hatred and anger grew in her heart for the man who had been the cause of Joy’s tragic life.

However, later, this person actually intended to grow closer to her. He had saved her at the cost of his own life to defend and protect her in times of danger regardless of the incident inside the elevator or woods.

She owed him a total of two lives. But, she did not know how to repay him. Over the past twenty years, she had always been the one to protect others. No one had ever defended in front of her. Mu Tingfeng was the first who did so.

Later, they started to build up a relationship and slowly understood each other. They had quarreled and squabbled with one another. They had also fought over trivial matters. However, at the same time, they began to get used to each other’s presence.

There was a saying, our habit was the hardest thing to quit. She had unknowingly gotten used to Mu Tingfeng’s presence. She was used to having him appear in her life, interrupt her life, and even become part of her life.

By the time she realized this, it was already too late to control herself.

The moment she realized this was when she began to grow particular about whether Mu Tingfeng liked the previous Zhao Youlin or herself, which was hidden underneath the previous Zhao Youlin’s skin.

Now that the biggest barrier has disappeared. Zhao Youlin no longer had to conceal her true feelings. She was never a pretentious person. When she said she loved him, she meant what she said. She… admitted it.

“Mu Tingfeng, even though we willingly fall for each other, there are certain things that I still need to clarify with you.”

“What is it?” Mu Tingfeng came across a delightful surprise and had slowly recovered his cool. His deep and beautiful eyes were so bright that it was a little frightening to behold as he stared at Zhao Youlin, as if to capture each and every one of her expressions.

“One, you cannot simply be jealous of others.” Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s darkened face and him being about to say something, Zhao Youlin had been the first to interrupt him as she said, “Mu Tingfeng, I love you. But, I am independent of you. Likewise, you are also independent of me. You have no right to restrict my liberty nor restrain my interaction with anyone else.”

Mu Tingfeng’s warm expression, whom he had taken great pains to recover, had once again turned black and gloomy.

“Of course, if you are able to do this, I naturally would repay you.”

“Repay me?”

Zhao Youlin nodded. She met Mu Tingfeng’s questioning gaze and said in a low voice, “I will behave myself and know what I should do and what I shouldn’t. But, you have to remember this, you have never been a part of my life over the past twenty years. In my remaining days until the day I die, you will be one who will stay by my side should there be no accident. In this case, what else do you have to complain about?”

For a moment, Mu Tingfeng was struck dumb. She was right. From now on, he would be the one who stayed beside Zhao Youlin and walked her down the remainder of her life. There were no other guys except him.

If so, what else did he have to worry about? As long as he appreciated the person in front of him…

Mu Tingfeng forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. He stared at Zhao Youlin for a long time before he seized the rare opportunity and brought up the past issue with expectancy, “Youlin, let’s remarry.”

Unlike last time, Zhao Youlin did not avoid him. This time, she fell silent for a brief moment before she gave an answer that had long been desired by Mu Tingfeng, “Okay.”

Her brief answer had sent Mu Tingfeng over the moon. He was overjoyed and had not been able to recover even after some time. He remained stoic-faced but his usual bright and compelling eyes had lost their focus.

This was Zhao Youlin’s first time seeing Mu Tingfeng in his current state. She could not help but snicker, “President Mu, it’s time to recover your senses.”

Zhao Youlin’s teases had finally snapped Mu Tingfeng out of his immense surprise. He fixed his gaze on Zhao Youlin with his deep eyes and confirmed with her again with a sense of stubbornness, “Say it again.”

“Huh?”

“Repeat the sentence.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned. She looked up and held Mu Tingfeng’s face. She said faintly, “Mu Tingfeng, let’s remarry.”

A light shone out of Mu Tingfeng’s eyes upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words. The glimpse of light was so dazzling that it shone out of pure joy and expectancy.

Mu Tingfeng used her trembling finger and stroked the side of Zhao Youlin’s face as if he was touching the world’s most exotic treasure. He slowly moved down and finally stopped at Zhao Youlin’s lips, which he had kissed before this. His eyes lit up.

Perhaps, as if induced by their psychological states or the atmosphere at that moment. The two, who were already very close with each other, subconsciously drew closer among themselves to the point that their noses were touching.

His bright and clear eyes were filled with the opposite party’s reflection, just like how their hearts were filled with each other’s presence. Without any suspense, they locked their lips once again. Their kisses were filled with intimacy and warmth that no one could disturb or interfere with.
