Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 547: What Is He To You? (1)

“That’s very kind of you to visit us, but you shouldn’t have brought anything. We will accept it this time, but don’t bring anything next time. I am already feeling sorry that I missed your wedding, but now I am accepting gifts from you? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?” Su Jingfeng led Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng toward the lobby as he said that.

Zhao Youlin smiled and said, “Cousin, we know very well that you are preoccupied with taking care of Xiao He. Of course, we won’t take it to heart. Besides, when Xiao He was discharged from the hospital, we were so busy with the wedding that we couldn’t come over to help. I still feel sorry when I think about it. Now that we finally have time to visit her, how could we come empty-handed?”

The truth was, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were well aware of the reasons why Su Jifeng did not come to their wedding. One, it was because he had too much on his plate. Two, it was because he did not want to run into Ye Yan at the wedding.

And given Su Jifeng’s hostility toward Ye Yan, if he really ran into Ye Yan at the wedding, he would not have been content without hitting Ye Yan. But if he ended up hitting him, he would have ruined Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s wedding.

And although Su Ruixin and the others would not blame him afterwards, they would still feel uncomfortable. Besides, it could even expose Xiao Qi’s affairs. Because of the above reasons, it had been better for Su Jifeng to skip the wedding.

When Su Jifeng heard Zhao Youlin say that, he could not help but turn to glance at her. He had become increasingly impressed by Mu Tingfeng’s sensible and smart wife. He thought to himself how lucky a cold man like Mu Tingfeng was that he actually got such a nice wife.

Mu Tingfeng and Su Jifeng grew up together since they were babies, after all. Of course, he could read what was on Su Jifeng’s mind when he saw his intriguing glance.

His eyes flickered. Then, he moved imperceptibly to the side and stood in front of Zhao Youlin, blocking her from Su Jifeng’s regretful gaze.

But Zhao Youlin did not notice it. Or rather, she just did not care about the infighting between them. She could not wait to ask about Su He’s condition as soon as they reached the lobby.

“How is Xiao He doing? Is she getting better?”

Without concealing anything from her, Su Jifeng answered honestly, “She is doing great. She and her baby are healthy. It’s just that she is a little weak, and she needs to recuperate for a while.”

Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief before she asked tentatively, “Can I go up there to see her now?”

“Of course.” Su Jifeng nodded. Then, as if he remembered something, he turned to a servant not far away and asked, “Is Ms. Su He’s breakfast ready?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Go and bring it over.”

“Yes, Mr. Jifeng.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned and a little surprised when she heard the conversation between them. “Breakfast? It’s already almost ten o’clock, right? And she is just about to have breakfast?”

Seeming to understand Zhao Youlin’s puzzlement, Su Jifeng’s lips curled slightly. He explained, “Xiao Qi needs more sleep lately. She gets up at about this time every day to have breakfast.”

Zhao Youlin understood it immediately. A woman needed more sleep when she was pregnant.

While they were talking, the maid had already brought over the prepared breakfast. Su Jifeng took over the rich and nutritious breakfast and handed it to Zhao Youlin. “Xiao Qi’s room is the second room down the corridor on the second floor. Can you please bring Xiao Qi her breakfast? Her appetite hasn’t been good lately. Maybe she will eat more if she sees that you’re the one who brings it over.”

Zhao Youlin was a little stunned. She nodded and took the tray over from Su Jifeng. Then, she turned her head and said to Mu Tingfeng, “I will go up first. Wait for me here.”

Mu Tingfeng gave her a deep look before he suddenly came over and gave Zhao Youlin a peck on her cheek. “Go on. Hurry back.”

Mu Tingfeng’s sudden move scared Zhao Youlin stiff. After realizing what Mu Tingfeng had just done in front of Su Jifeng and the servants in the house, she fiercely rolled her eyes at Mu Tingfeng, who had pushed his luck. Then she stepped on Mu Tingfeng’s leather shoe before she went upstairs without looking back.

The servants on the side did not even know where they should look. They were speechless.

Mu Tingfeng was not enraged by Zhao Youlin’s vengeful move. He only shook his head in resignation, as if he was unconditionally tolerating a petulant child.

Su Jifeng was caught off guard by the sudden public display of affection. The corners of his mouth twitched. When he saw that Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were still glued to the direction of the stairs, he finally coughed lightly and teased him, “Snap out of it. It’s no use even if you continue staring. You are already so lovey-dovey despite it just being your second day of marriage? What exactly is it about Youlin that made you change so much? I can hardly recognize you!”

He could not imagine that this guy, who was not interested in anything since he was a child and was cold and uncaring, would have a day when he cared so much about a woman.

After all, when they played together when they were little, he even heard his aunt, who was Mu Tingfeng’s mother, together with his mother and great-aunt, talk about what they were to do if no one was willing to marry him. But in the end, this guy still became the first person among them to start a family and even had a child!

Mu Tingfeng drew his gaze back and turned to Su Jifeng. In a flash, the tenderness in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes faded away completely as he returned to his usual unsmiling expression.

Su Jifeng was speechless. Did he have to treat him so differently?

“Did your parents and your grandfather go out?” Mu Tingfeng glanced at Su Jifeng and asked directly.

Su Jifeng was slightly stunned for a while before he said, “They went abroad to deal with something.”

“Why would your father and grandfather need to go together to handle this matter? Is it that important?”

Su Jifeng suddenly went silent. Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered as he saw that, knowing that his speculation was right.

If the old master and the heir of the Su family were required to handle something personally, then it must be quite a complicated mess.

However, Mu Tingfeng did not intend to dwell on the subject. When he saw that Su Jifeng was silent, he continued to ask, “When are your father and grandfather coming back?”

“About that… I’m not sure. The earliest is in a week, the latest two weeks.”

A week? Two weeks? Mu Tingfeng’s eyes were austere. He hesitated for a second and finally asked the question he really wanted to ask, “Have you figured out how you are going to explain to them about Xiao Qi and Ye Yan?”

The smile on Su Jifeng’s face stiffened abruptly. It was only after a long time that he coldly replied, “Xiao Qi and Ye Yan don’t have any relationship.”

“Ye Yan is the father of the baby in Xiao Qi’s stomach.”

Mu Tingfeng’s words managed to freeze the atmosphere in the room. Su Jifeng glared at him sternly, and Mu Tingfeng stared back at him without fear.

The two men who always attracted a lot of attention wherever they went ahead and confronted each other with an intimidating aura. The servants in the house were frightened. They lowered their heads, not daring to look at the men directly..
