Realizing this, Zhao Youlin hurriedly wanted to get up, but at this crucial moment, someone held her hand.
The closed eyes were suddenly wide open because of this sudden change. She looked at Mu Tingfeng, who had woken up at some point, in disbelief.
The deep and dark eyes were like a whirlpool, and people might be sucked into them at any time forever.
Perhaps everything happened too suddenly, Zhao Youlin could not react at all. She maintained her position of getting up and looked at Mu Tingfeng at close range until there was another annoyed whisper behind her.
“President Mu, what are you doing? Quickly let her go.”
The two seemed to awaken from a dream. Zhao Youlin instantly pulled her hand out of Mu Tingfeng’s hand. She took a few steps back and hit Duan Yarong, who was behind her.
At the same time, Mu Tingfeng also sat up on the bed. His shining eyes were staring at Zhao Youlin, and he never looked away.
Zhao Youlin only glanced at him. Then, she quickly looked away.
There were too many emotions in those eyes that she could not understand and dared not understand. It made her subconsciously want to hide. She felt that if she did not hide, the consequences would go beyond her control.
Duan Yarong did not know that Zhao Youlin was in a dilemma. At this moment, she felt that her decision to come with Zhao Youlin was even more correct. Mu Tingfeng was indeed aiming for her daughter.
She was still standing here, but this guy dared to do something to her daughter. If she was not here today, this guy would dare to do anything.
Mu Tingfeng did not know that he had once again lowered his future mother-in-law’s impression on him when they met for the first time. He pretended to be calm and greeted, “Auntie…”
President Mu actually wanted to call her his mother-in-law, but it was obviously not the time yet. However, he believed that it would happen soon one day.
Duan Yarong was a very well-educated rich lady. Even if she was dissatisfied with Mu Tingfeng, it was hard for her to say anything nasty to Mu Tingfeng when she saw his left hand still in a plaster.
She could only pull her daughter and took a few steps back. Then, she said indifferently, “I heard from Youlin that you got injured yesterday to save her, so I purposely came here today to thank you. Thank you for saving her, Young Master Mu. If you need any help in the future, the Zhao Enterprise will definitely help you.”
‘There is actually only one thing I want, but you guys may not be willing to hand it over.’ Mu Tingfeng looked at Duan Yarong’s actions. A light flashed in his eyes, showing that he was determined to get it. However, his face was still expressionless.
“Auntie, you don’t have to thank me. With the current relationship between me and Youlin, this is what I should do.”
When Mu Tingfeng said this, the corners of Duan Yarong and Zhao Youlin’s mouths twitched.
‘What is my relationship with him? Why don’t I know it?’
‘What is my daughter’s relationship with him? Why don’t I know it?’
The mother and daughter thought to themselves tacitly.
Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes helplessly. She had known that Mu Tingfeng was a shameless person, but she did not expect him to be this shameless.
He spoke as if there was something between them. God knew that there was nothing between them.
President Mu, who had become more shameless, did not care about the opinions of other people at all. The close contact with Zhao Youlin just now made him feel good at the moment. He looked at the two embarrassed people and took the initiative to say, “Are you guys not going to sit?”
Duan Yarong was stunned. She glanced at the two chairs that were about twenty centimeters away from the hospital bed, and her eyes looked around.
Under the startled gaze of the two of them, she stretched out her leg and slowly hooked the chair to her front.
Both Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were speechless.
After finally hooking the chair to her front, Duan Yarong calculated the distance between the chair and the hospital bed in her mind. After making sure that Mu Tingfeng would not be able to touch Zhao Youlin even if he leaned out, she coughed light and said, “All right, sit down.”
Both Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were speechless.
Zhao Youlin sat back in embarrassment. She felt really uncomfortable with the almost weird atmosphere in the ward. She tried to start a conversation by saying, “I heard that you had a fever last night, so you had a fitful rest. How do you feel now? Should I call a doctor to check on you?”
Right after Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng’s eyes brightened up. ‘I-Is she concerned for me?’
This thought made President Mu, who had a disturbed night because of fever, extremely happy.
When he was about to say that he was okay and this wound could not trouble him, he suddenly thought of the ways of pursuing someone that Su Ruixin taught him yesterday. He immediately changed his words.
“No need. You just need to pour me a glass of water.” The slightly droopy eyes and eyebrows combined with the voice, which had grown a little hoarse as his throat was dry because of high fever, made people inevitably feel sad for him.
As expected, Zhao Youlin frowned when she heard Mu Tingfeng’s words. She got up and poured a cup of warm water for him and handed it to him.
When Mu Tingfeng extended his hand to take it, Zhao Youlin’s fingertips happened to touch Mu Tingfeng’s hand. This made his eyes become darker in an instant.
Zhao Youlin did not notice it. Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s weak appearance when he lowered his head to drink water, she disagreed with his decision and said, “If you feel unwell, it is better to have a doctor come over to check on you. Gunshot wounds are serious.”
Mu Tingfeng held back the joy in his heart and calmly replied, “Well, okay.”
Seeing that the way the two people got along was developing in a weird direction, Duan Yarong was worried. She felt that the meticulous man in front of her was pretending to be weak to abduct her precious daughter. Besides, his skills were almost comparable to the most powerful of scheming witches. No, she must take action! She could not watch this guy abduct her daughter in front of her.
When Duan Yarong was about to interrupt the two of them, someone stopped her first.
“Oh, isn’t this Mrs. Zhao? It’s been a long time. How are you doing?” The woman’s charming voice suddenly sounded from outside the ward, attracting the attention of everyone in the ward.
“Mom.” Mu Tingfeng’s eyes moved slightly after he saw the appearance of the person outside the door.
Duan Yarong was also shocked when she saw the person who came. Although she had heard Zhao Youlin talk about Mrs. Mu yesterday, she did not expect to meet her so soon. Not to mention in this kind of place.
At first, Su Ruixin did not want to come over today. After all, this was the opportunity she created for her son and future daughter-in-law to be alone. If she interrupted them, she would definitely be pricked to death by her son’s eyes.
Who would have known that not long after she had her breakfast this morning, she had received an emergency call from her son’s secretary? He said that her future daughter-in-law had visited the hospital together with her mother, so he wanted her to rush to the rescue.
