Su Qing frowned as she saw that Mu Tingfeng did not want to talk about it. She did not question further, in spite of all her curiosity. She reached out and let Mu Tingfeng help her to walk out of the ward.
Walking out of the ward, Su Qing let out a breath of relief. When she was about to turn around with Mu Tingfeng and leave this hospital that was full of pills and the smell of disinfectant, out of the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently saw someone who was carrying a child and heading their way.
“Wait.” Su Qing pulled Mu Tingfeng’s arm a little, causing Mu Tingfeng to furrow his brows in discomfort. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Su Qing pointed to the ones who were not far away from them and said with a sly expression on her face, “Cousin Tingfeng, look in front of us, don’t they look like your ex-wife and your precious son?”
Mu Tingfeng was stunned. Then, he looked in the direction Su Qing pointed. That’s right, the two people who were walking toward them were none other than Zhao Youlin and their son Joy!
Zhao Youlin was patting Joy’s back, with a worried look on her face. She was concentrating on soothing her sick child, but when she looked up, she did not expect to see the person she least wanted to see at this moment.
Zhao Youlin had brought Joy here today to see a doctor. These days coincided with the change of seasons, the temperature difference between day and night was relatively large.
The little brat could not get used to it. Unfortunately for him, he began to feel unwell. It had started with a runny nose, followed by a mild fever.
This had really worried Duan Yarong. She immediately asked Uncle Zhao to invite a personal doctor of the Zhao family over, but it was at an inopportune timing as the doctor had just gone out not long ago and he could not make it back in a short time.
After Zhao Youlin found that out, she stopped Duan Yarong from inviting another doctor to come over. She directly took Joy to the nearest major hospital to register for a medical appointment.
If Zhao Youlin had known she would run into Mu Tingfeng, she would not have bothered to stop Duan Yarong from calling another doctor to their house and bringing Joy out herself.
She was always running into him! She always bumped into this guy wherever she went. Was this what they called being haunted by one’s enemy?
Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s poker face, Zhao Youlin paused her steps and thought bitterly to herself.
But the next moment, Zhao Youlin noticed Su Qing standing beside Mu Tingfeng. At first glance, Zhao Youlin felt that this woman looked a bit familiar.
When she took a closer look, her eyes flickered with a cold light. ‘Isn’t this woman…Mu Tingfeng’s mistress from back then?’
After noticing that, Zhao Youlin cocked her eyebrows. She silently glanced down at Su Qing’s already bulging belly. Her eyes were slightly austere.
Judging by her belly, the baby was probably about three or four months old now, right? Three or four months ago, Mu Tingfeng and she had not divorced yet! So it was true that this man here was having an affair with this woman, they even bore a child now.
Zhao Youlin’s face turned grim, even her eyes sharpened a little. No wonder when she mentioned that Mu Tingfeng had erection trouble in the coffee shop, the woman seemed shocked for just a second, and she did not freak out at all. So it turned out that she was so fearless because she already had his child back then, was that right?
“Such a coincidence to bump into you guys here.” Su Qing took the initiative to say with a smile, as she saw Zhao Youlin and her child heading over this way.
Zhao Youlin patted the head of Joy, who turned around after hearing Su Qing’s voice. She returned a smile and said, “Yes, a coincidence indeed. So, President Mu is coming here with you, Ms. Su…Congratulations.”
Zhao Youlin gave a meaningful glance at Su Qin’s belly, then she moved her gaze away. She was about to walk past them as if her relationship with them were nothing but a nodding acquaintance, and there was no need to engage in a conversation. Their relationship and whether they had a child or not had nothing to do with her.
Mu Tingfeng was tingled with a weird sensation when he saw Zhao Youlin swept a glance over Su Qing’s belly. A trace of guilt and worry actually surged uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.
That’s right, he was worried! He worried that Zhao Youlin would misunderstand him. He was the one who tried so hard to make their divorce happen, he had even asked for his cousin’s help and released rumors in order to let this woman in front of her misunderstand that he was having an affair with Su Qing, yet right now, he was actually worried. He worried that this woman here would misunderstand the relationship between him and Su Qing. He worried that she would misunderstand that Su Qing’s baby belonged to him.
Such emotions were so unfamiliar to Mu Tingfeng that he momentarily forgot to make a pre-emptive move and opened his mouth to explain.
Of course, it is undeniable that while he was worried, a hint of anticipation even surfaced in Mu Tingfeng’s heart, expecting that he could see a look of displeasure on Zhao Youlin’s face after she misunderstood them.
Unfortunately, he was bound to be disappointed. Zhao Youlin’s gaze on Su Qing’s belly moved away quickly. Her expression was normal, there was no way to tell if she felt any discomfort about the scene before her.
Before Mu Tingfeng could think further, his hand had already reached out to stop Zhao Youlin from going forward. His brows were grazed with a little anxiety. “It’s not what it looks like. She and I are just…”
Just what? Just having a fake dating relationship. The truth was they were not having an affair. Then why did he use her as his shield and try everything he could to divorce the woman in front of him?
Since he had already got what he wanted, they were divorced now. Then why did he…
Mu Tingfeng was stumped by his own questions. His explanation was choked in this throat.
Su Qing, who was standing beside him widened her eyes and stared in disbelief at her cousin, whose eyes were filled with desperation beneath his stony face.
Her cousin here was actually trying to explain himself with her former cousin-in-law? Oh my goodness! He was trying to explain himself to her? Since they were little, she had never seen her stubborn and egocentric cousin trying to explain himself to another person.
This was an honor even Old Master Mu could not obtain. To know that Old Master Mu had tried every means to make her cousin explain why he would open his own company out there, but all her cousin did was give him a sarcastic look, which pissed off Old Master Mu to the extent that he almost disowned him.
Ever since then, everyone in the Mu family was aware that Young Master Mu here, would never explain himself to anyone, nor did he ever needed to explain himself to anyone.
Well, of course, some people did not believe it, as they still tried to break his policy of being a man of few words. Take her Young Aunt and Old Madam Mu for example, who were Mu Tingfeng’s mother and grandmother, but they never succeeded.
Over time, everyone had taken it as an impossible task to make Mu Tingfeng say a few more words, let alone getting him to explain something to someone.
But today’s spooky event was even more dramatic than aliens visiting the earth. It had really happened, not to mention that it was because of her former cousin-in-law who had divorced a certain someone here not long ago. Could this brat here really have…
Many thoughts were swirling around in Su Qing’s head, but she did not show it on her face. Instead of giving Mu Tingfeng a chance to figure it out, she took Mu Tingfeng’s arm intimately, breaking the somewhat strange atmosphere between the two and said, “Feng, Ms. An did not say anything. How do you know if it’s not what she thought? Besides, isn’t it obvious about us? You brought me here today specifically for my prenatal check-up. Everyone can see what our relationship is. What is there to explain?”
