Chapter 171 – Crucial Kiss (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The two people who were immersed in their own world in the elevator did not know that as the elevator swayed three times, there were now only two cables left connected to their elevator, and they could snap at any moment.
Meanwhile, the people who witnessed this outside screamed. In the end, they made their decision and were prepared to have someone pry open the top of the elevator so that they could pull out the two people from the crack.
The person in charge of prying open the elevator soon arrived. The spectators all craned their necks to look.
As the crack at the top of the elevator grew bigger, the scene inside the elevator was revealed to the people bit by bit.
Hence, the people whose hearts were stuck in their throats… were all shocked.
Through the opened crack, the people saw two people who were hugging each other tightly.
The tall man had a handsome face that could make all the girls go wild for him, and the woman he protected in his embrace had an astonishingly beautiful face.
The two people hugged each other as if there was no one else around. Even when they were in danger of dying at any moment, they were still so beautiful that they were like a beautiful scroll painting in the dark, terrifying, and broken-down elevator.
All the people outside the elevator saw this, and their minds instantly went blank. Among them, the first to snap out of his daze was Xia Zhetao.
Xia Zhetao sucked in a sharp breath and sighed in his heart. ‘As expected of the president. How mighty and domineering! This is a crucial moment that concerns his life, and he still managed to so calmly conquer the former Mrs. President. He’s really an existence that deserves to be admired!’
Compared to Xia Zhetao’s extremely excited and delighted look, Zhao Youxi was clearly not in such a good mood behind him.
After she saw what happened in the elevator, Zhao Youxi’s expression was completely distorted. Her eyes had originally been filled with a bit of panic, but now, they instantly overflowed with hatred and jealousy.
She schemed and set up everything, but she did not expect that Mu Tingfeng would be beside her when this accident had happened to Zhao Youlin. She also did not expect both of them to do this in this small elevator…
No, it was clear that Mu Tingfeng hated Zhao Youlin in the past, so he definitely did not initiate the kiss. It must be Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin must have intentionally acted cute and wanted to use the chance to get Mu Tingfeng’s attention again. That was why she…
‘Zhao Youlin, you wench, Mu Tingfeng has clearly divorced you and doesn’t want you anymore, but you want to use this method to reclaim his heart? You need to die! You HAVE TO die!’
Zhao Youxi clenched her fists, and her sharp nails practically dug into her flesh. The red marks were clear.
However, Zhao Youxi did not know that besides her, Xiao Jingyao had unintentionally turned his head to face her, and he saw everything. After being stunned for a moment, a questioning look appeared in his eyes.
Mu Tingfeng had pinned Zhao Youlin in his arms and kissed her for a long time. Then, as if he sensed something, he looked up and saw the rescuer who had pried open the roof of the elevator.
The pitiful man still had that dumbfounded look on his face. Suddenly, Mu Tingfeng’s cold glare cut into him, and he shuddered. He was nearly unable to hold the tool in his hand.
Zhao Youlin was finally able to be free of Mu Tingfeng’s invasive kiss. Just as she wanted to yell at him, she looked up and saw that the roof of the elevator had been pried open at some point… and there was a whole crowd of dumbfounded people staring at them.
Zhao Youlin trembled. When did that hole appear? When did these people arrive? Damn it! Then… these people saw her doing that with Mu Tingfeng?!
Zhao Youlin felt anger boil in her chest, and she felt really gloomy.
This was especially so when she saw Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong’s worried but shocked faces among the crowd, along with Zhao Youxi’s jealous face. Zhao Youlin could only reluctantly swallow the curses at the tip of her tongue, and she felt even more horrible.
She thought about it. In the end, she still decided to blame all the awkwardness she felt in that instant on Mu Tingfeng. If it were not for this horrible man suddenly… How would she face such an embarrassing situation if not for him?! It was all this man’s fault!
With that thought in mind, Zhao Youlin could not help but look up and glare at Mu Tingfeng.
Mu Tingfeng had been feeling really glad for successfully stealing a kiss from Zhao Youlin. At that moment, when he received the enraged and embarrassed glare from Zhao Youlin, not only was he not angry, he smirked in a good mood instead.
He also thought. ‘Her lips are softer and gentler than what I imagined. When I kissed her, I could even taste mint. It’s just as clean and refreshing as the feeling she gives off. I can’t get enough of it.’
He actually missed so many things over the years? What a waste of this treasure!
The people outside did not know that this stoic president was actually sighing like a pervert. They just felt like they were about to puke because of the nauseating smell of romance in the air.
Someone, come here and tell them what was going on. During such a critical moment, these people were not as afraid and alarmed as people who were about to die. Instead, they hugged each other and started kissing each other wantonly. This did not make sense!
Most importantly, forget kissing, why was it that once they finished kissing, one of them gave the other a harmless glare while embarrassed and looking as if she was blaming him for this, while the other magnanimously accepted the blame. He did not bother hiding the doting look in his eyes, as if no matter how unreasonably the person in his arms acted, to him, it was just something to light up a spark in their relationship.
When they saw this, all the people who were single felt like they were about to die. This was not the place for them to flirt around! They had their rights as single—No, they had their rights as humans!
So, in the blink of an eye, their interaction made way for another beautiful misunderstanding.
Despite making all the sarcastic remarks in their hearts, the crowd was not completely dazed by this shocking scene. They still remembered why they had come.
“Please go to the side for the time being. We’ll open up the hole a little bigger and pull you out.”
The swaying from just now had already made the elevator slide from between the 45th and 46th floors to the 45th floor. They chose the 46th floor to break open the roof of the elevator, and there was enough space for them to pull the two people out.
The cables above them could snap at any moment, and saving them took priority.
The rescuer used the fastest time possible to dig out a hole that could let a person crawl out. He shouted into the elevator. “We’ll pull you up one by one. Who will go first?”
“Youlin, hurry up and get out.” Duan Yarong’s heart had already leapt into her throat the moment she saw Zhao Youlin in the elevator. When she heard the rescuer say that one person could get out, she immediately anxiously asked Zhao Youlin to get out.
“President…” With a complicated look, Xia Zhetao stared at the hole that would only accommodate one person. He called out to his president softly, but he could already guess the order in which they would get out.
