Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 380: Fetch Joy (2)

After laughing for some time, Zhao Youlin was finally able to school her face.

Mu Tingfeng was temporarily cast to the side. Since Han Yichen had returned, then, the former master of the house…

A spark lit across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She could totally imagine how happy the former master would be the moment he learned of this.

After she hesitated for a brief moment, Zhao Youlin decided that it was best that she make a trip and inform the childish former master in person about such matters.

As she thought of this, Zhao Youlin called Xiao Jingyao and informed him before she skipped work openly… once again.

Zhao Youlin skipped her work openly without feeling guilty in the slightest. On the other hand, the Mighty Secretary Xia was miserably dragged down and became Mu Tingfeng’s punching bag.

“President, I heard that…” It had not been easy for Xia Zhetao to finally get rid of the girls’ pestering, so he rushed into the office joyfully. Just as he was about to ask about the contents of the call between the two, he was terrorized by the sight of Mu Tingfeng’s chilly presence and his dark expression.

“What is it?” Mu Tingfeng was expressionless. However, Xia Zhetao could not help but suck in a cold breath upon facing his murderous intent.

‘Didn’t the girls say that the president is in a good mood just now? Why is he angry again?!’

Daytime in late autumn was shortening little by little. By five o’clock, the sun was already gradually setting in the west.

That hour was also the liveliest time at kindergarten. A group of energetic little ones charged out toward the garden outside like wild horses right after they received the signal that school was over.

A huge crowd moved about at the entrance of the kindergarten, and there were also many parents who were already waiting there.

Generally speaking, under such circumstances, people would hardly notice anyone else aside from their own children. However, there were a few exceptions. When the person stood in the middle of the crowd, he still shone as bright as ever. It was very difficult for the others to ignore his presence.

“Oh dear! Isn’t he President Mu? What? Did President Mu come here to fetch a child?” Ling Ran immediately spotted the man standing at the main entrance right after he got out of his car, because he just stood out like a sore thumb. None of those people who were a few meters away from that man dared to come close to him.

Ling Ran smiled faintly as he walked close to Mu Tingfeng. “That’s weird, President Mu, why haven’t I heard of your child attending school here before? Are you here to pick up your relative’s child?”

Right after Ling Ran spoke, the parents at the entrance of the kindergarten keenly felt the temperature surrounding the kindergarten drop significantly once again. It was clearly the end of autumn, yet they felt like it was as cold as winter. They were so cold that they shivered.

The Mighty Secretary Xiao was the first to be affected by this. He cast a glance at Ling Ran resentfully while crying bitterly in his heart.

‘Darn it! Is the second young master of the Ling family adding fuel to the fire even after knowing that the president is in a bad mood?! While he can leave right after he picks up whoever it is he needs to pick up, I’m the one who’s going to suffer a tragic fate!’

As he thought of the misery that he might have to face soon, a bitter look showed up on Xia Zhetao’s face, and he wept a river of tears in his heart.

Mu Tingfeng’s expression had looked troubled ever since he received Zhao Youlin’s call in the afternoon. The entire office had been enveloped in a depressing atmosphere, and no one had dared to come close to him at all.

However, Xia Zhetao knew that the reason Mu Tingfeng was in his current state was not because he was angry. In fact, it was purely out of… nervousness.

President Mu had never spent time alone with a child before. Even though there were a few younger members in his family who were about the age of Joy, most of them, such as Mu Wanting, were mischievous children. None of them were as adorable and cute as Joy. The moment his face darkened, the child get be frightened and burst into tears.

However, this child was someone he needed to pamper to high heavens right now. If Mu Tingfeng made him cry, the child’s mother would drive him out of the house. He panicked just by thinking about it.

President Mu was extremely nervous. But of course, he would not expose his own shortcomings and reveal his nervousness to others. As such, he decided to just release a dreary aura.

However, after he was agitated by Ling Ran. He did not just feel nervous. He had been stabbed at his weak spot amid his nervousness. The president was about to fly into a berserk rage!

“Joy is Youlin’s child and mine as well.” Mu Tingfeng gritted his teeth as he spoke. The parents, who came to pick up their children and had intended to sneak away from his side, could not help but be so terrified that they took a few steps back.

“Oh?” Ling Ran raised one of his eyebrows. He did not notice the pleading gaze cast at him from Xia Zhetao. He reached out and tapped his head. He was enlightened and said, “Oh, that’s how it is. Now I remember. President Mu, you are Ms. Zhao’s ex-husband. Joy is your son. I’m sorry. I don’t have a good memory and easily forget things. I always see Ms. Zhao picking up Joy by herself. So, I thought…”

Right after Ling Ran spoke, Mu Tingfeng’s expression only darkened.

Still, a certain one looked like he was undaunted by Mu Tingfeng’s demeanor. He continued to stomp on his tail with a smiling face, “Speaking of which, all the while, Ms. Zhao has been the one picking up Joy. Occasionally, Madam Zhao would come over to fetch him. President Mu, why is it your turn today?”

“Youlin is not free today.” Mu Tingfeng forcibly suppressed the gloomy feelings in his heart and replied Ling Ran concisely. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something. A sharp look appeared in his eyes. “Young Master Ling, it seems like you’re very concerned about my wife and child. You know about them so well, including the person who picks up Joy daily.”

Ling Ran’s eyebrows’ twitched. He sensed the murderous intent that appeared in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes.

‘Oh no.’ He thought. He seemed to have gone overboard. He knew it was time to quit and smiled dryly as he said, “Well, it’s because my niece is also studying in this kindergarten. Besides, she’s a good friend of Joy. That’s why I know all this by mere coincidence.

Only then did Mu Tingfeng recall Su Qing’s child’s full moon banquet from that day. Ling Ran had taken a young girl along with him, and she had played with Mu Wanting and Joy for a long time. At that time, Zhao Youlin had introduced that child to him. That child seemed like she really was Joy’s kindergarten friend. However, at that time, he had not paid much attention to it.

He never thought that when he came to pick up Jo today, he would coincidentally bump into this person who had also come to fetch his niece. Moreover, judging from his tone, this was not his first time picking up his niece. Were the members from the Ling family usually so free?

“That is quite a coincidence.” Mu Tingfeng’s expression remained the same as he spoke. However, there was an apparent hint of sinister coldness and mockery in his eyes.

Ling Ran’s heart clenched. Just when he did not know how to continue their conversation, the children’s screams suddenly rose from inside the kindergarten.

When Mu Tingfeng heard the children’s voices, his body abruptly turned stiff. He looked so intensely at those young kids as they swarmed out of the garden that it was as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

When he saw Mu Tingfeng finally shift his focus away from him, Ling Ran heaved a sigh of relief. He decided to sneak away without hesitation and ran over to his niece who had been waiting for him.

Ling Yuemei followed Joy out. However, when the two children arrived at the entrance, they parted their ways.
