Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The temperature in the office rose several degrees instantly, causing several girls who were still shivering to gape and look like they had seen a ghost.

Before they could continue to be surprised, they heard the big boss mercifully say, “Leave the files here, you guys can go out first. I will ask for you if I need something.”

It was really hard to connect this gentle tone of voice and link it with President Mu, who was capable of freezing people to death without moving.

So, those female chiefs just walked out of the office, feeling their legs trembling.

After the office door was closed, the girls felt like they had woken from a dream. They looked at each other and exclaimed.

“Was…Was I imagining things? Was that still our president? Since when did he become so gentle? This does not make sense at all!”

“Yes, yes. Could President have been possessed? Could he have been swapped with a body double?”

“Have you watched too much fantasy drama? If President really had been swapped, would we still have seen his cold face when we entered the office just now?” After the girl said that, it was as if she had remembered something, she shivered and said, “Do you think any common person could imitate that?”

“Well, that is true. So, the key is still that phone call just now? Who is the person who called President? He or she actually softens President up!”

“What are you guys talking about? You are gathering together and discussing it so excitedly.” They were still talking and discussing about it when they suddenly heard a male voice coming from behind them, which caused them to be startled and gasp on the spot.

After recovering themselves and seeing the one who came, a few girls could barely maintain their composure. They slapped the man on the shoulder and cursed, “Why the hell did you walk so silently? You scared the hell out of us.”

“That’s right. Don’t you know that people could get scared to death? I almost had a heart attack. I wish I could punch you now.”

“That’s right. You know that I could easily get scared. How could you not make a sound when you were walking? What intention do you have?”

Xia Zhetao, who was being cursed despite doing nothing wrong, was speechless. ‘You call yourself easily scared? From what I see, it looks like you guys were doing something bad, and you were afraid that someone might have caught you.’

Xia Zhetao complained about it internally, while he humbly apologize to them. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad at me, ladies.”

It was not that he was a coward, it was because these fierce ladies were too competent.?A great man knows when to yield and when not to. He should not be a stickler to details like that.

Seeing that their anger had faded after he apologized, Xia Zhetao could not hold back his curiosity and asked in a prying manner, “What were you guys talking about? You were discussing it so excitedly? Did you get scolded by President again?”

“We didn’t, and that is exactly why this was weird!” After being scolded so many times, when they suddenly did not get scolded one day, it felt really weird.

The corner of Xia Zhetao’s mouth twitched a little. How could he not see it before? These fierce ladies were actually masochists. They actually felt that it was weird that they did not get scolded. Were they hoping that they could get scolded?

“Okay…What is going on? Please explain it clearly.”

“Actually, it is nothing. It is just that when a few of us went in to report on the work, President’s expression was quite dark, we thought we would definitely be criticized again. I did not expect that someone would suddenly call President, and that after he took a look at that phone, his mood immediately changed. He asked us to leave his office without saying anything more”

Xia Zhetao frowned knowingly upon hearing that. He said in a serious manner, “So...how did President react when he received that call?”

“President’s reaction? Oh… He seemed to be in a good mood all of a sudden, even the tone of his voice became much more gentle. Honestly, I have never seen President speak so gently since I joined the company.”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“…”

After Xia Zhetao listened to their descriptions, he touched his chin knowingly, while a meaningful smile emerged.

The girls were very smart, they knew that there must be some explanation behind this. They gathered around Xia Zhetao and asked, “Secretary Xia, do you know something? I am sure you know the saying sharing your happiness is much better than enjoying it on your own, right?”

“That’s right. Tell us what you know now. Enjoying it alone is unethical.”

Xia Zhetao was already being interrogated by the girls before he could enjoy the happiness longer. Now he did not feel like smiling anymore.

However, very quickly, he stood straight, and with a proud expression on his face, he said, “Well, this is actually not a secret. You will know it sooner or later. So I guess it would not be a problem to tell you now. Our president…has been in love lately.”

“What!” Upon hearing what Xia Zhetao said, the girls screamed out loud, causing Xia Zhetao to look around nervously. He said in a low voice, “Keep it down! Keep it down!”

Only then the girls realized that they had lost control of themselves, they reached out with their hands and covered their mouths immediately. Then, they leaned closer to Xia Zhetao and said, “Since when did President have a girlfriend? I can’t believe we did not know! Darn it! You knew about this, how could you not tell us?”

“It is not that I did not want to tell you, it is because this is a long story.”

Upon hearing Xia Zhetao’s explanation that it was a long story, they rolled their eyes at him.

“So you are saying that the person who called President just now is his current girlfriend, that’s why he would…”

Xia Zhetao nodded in a calm manner. The girls were astonished, and they coincidentally thought to themselves that the woman who could become President’s girlfriend and made him cared about her so much. This mysterious girlfriend of President must be quite something!

While Xia Zhetao was being badgered by the girls, Mu Tingfeng, who was in the office, had already answered the phone in an eager manner. “Youlin?”

The caller on the other side of the phone grunted softly and said, “Yes, it’s me. Do you have time this afternoon?”

“Yes.”

“I could not take the time off in the afternoon. Help me pick up Joy in the kindergarten and take him home.”

Hearing that Zhao Youlin asked him to pick up Joy, there was a crack on Mu Tingfeng’s poker face. He would pick up his son…alone?

“Is there any problem?” Mu Tingfeng’s silence caused Zhao Youlin, who was on the other end of the phone to ask in a low voice.

“No problem.”

“It’s settled then. See you tonight.”

“See you tonight.”

Staring at the call interface that disappeared from his phone, Mu Tingfeng’s?expression that had become bright because Zhao Youlin had taken the initiative to call him once again turned sullen.

After Zhao Youlin hung up the phone, she recalled how the man on the other end of the phone was trying to hide his nervousness under his smooth tone of voice just now.. She began to imagine the picture of him being so stiff when he met Joy and she recalled how he managed to make Joy cry with that ‘smile’ of his, she could not help but laugh out loud.
