Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

“President, the woman sitting in the shop ahead of us seems to be… Um, Ms. Zhao!” Xie Zhetao was in the black sedan in front of the traffic light, and in boredom, he looked at the streets, and coincidentally, he saw Zhao Youlin sitting by the window of the shop he mentioned.

Right after Xia Zhetao finished speaking, he nearly bit his tongue. What did he mean by “seems to be”? That was definitely the former Mrs. President!

‘Huh, there seems to be a man sitting across the former Mrs. President, and that man looks a little familiar.

‘Um… wait, isn’t that the third son of the Ye family, the first one who had the guts to go over and extend an invite to the former Mrs. President during Master Zhao’s party?

‘These two are having lunch together? When has the former Mrs. President become so familiar with this guy? That doesn’t make sense! But worse still, if the president sees this…’

Xia Zhetao stiffened up, and he did not dare to turn his head around to look at Mu Tingfeng’s expression, but even so, with his sharp senses, he could still immediately sense the bone-chilling cold coming from behind him, and it nearly turned him into a human popsicle on the spot.

‘Mom, my boss is so scary! I’m scared! I want to go back to outer space and escape from this dangerous world!’

Mu Tingfeng was originally sitting at the back of the car and taking a cat nap. He was not paying attention to what was happening outside, but when he heard Xia Zhetao’s shout, he instinctively opened his eyes.

His eyes moved around in search of the person who caused his heart to race, and once he saw the figure reflected on the transparent glass, his heart skipped a beat.

The beliefs that he built over a long time were destroyed during that moment, and he did not have a chance to even salvage them. In that second, Mu Tingfeng knew that he had truly fallen.

Before he could be happy that he finally understood his feelings, the joy he felt when he saw Zhao Youlin again was gone like smoke when he saw the man sitting across from her.

Why was Ye Yan sitting with her in the same restaurant? Why were the both of them laughing and talking with each other? Ye Yan was even personally picking food for her…

Mu Tingfeng could not help but remember the birthday that night. At that time, Ye Yan had personally invited her to dance. His usually stern brows were now scrunched together.

He watched as Ye Yan repeatedly piled up food in Zhao Youlin’s bowl, and he watched as Zhao Youlin bowed her head shyly as she obediently ate the food that Ye Yan gave her. Suddenly, Mu Tingfeng felt something weigh down on his heart, and it refused to go away. It hurt.

He… should be the one sitting across from her or beside her, and he should be the one picking food for her. But over the years, let alone giving her food, they never even had the chance to sit across each other to eat together.

At that time, he hated this woman so much that he felt uncomfortable even when he lived in the same space as her, much less eat while looking at her face.

With that thought in mind, while Mu Tingfeng felt frustrated, he suddenly felt a sting in his heart as well.

‘Perhaps this is karma.’ Mu Tingfeng thought a little self-deprecatingly.

Xia Zhetao could sense that the gloomy presence behind him was becoming more prominent, and he really wanted to cut off his own tongue. ‘If I didn’t say those things before I saw everything clearly, I wouldn’t have to go through this tragedy now. It’s your fault for running your mouth off, Xia Zhetao!’

“President, we…” Xia Zhetao gulped and wanted to ask what Mu Tingfeng wanted to do.

Mu Tingfeng looked away as if casting another glance at the harmonious gathering between the duo behind the glass would hurt his eyes.

After a long period of silence, Mu Tingfeng finally said coldly, “The light’s green.”

“Green?” Xia Zhetao was stunned, and for a period of time, he could not register what he said. Then, when he heard urgent honks and curses behind him, he finally understood.

Could it be that the president told him that the light was green because he was telling him to leave and stop staying here? So, the president wasn’t thinking about going in to catch the former Mrs. President for cheating?

‘Ack, no, the president and former Mrs. President got divorced a long time ago. He can’t consider that cheating… but something still seems weird.’

Since his mind had suddenly gone blank, the great secretary Xia Zhetao could not muzzle out this question, and he could only start the car in a flurry of motion and leave this troublesome place.

No matter what, he should run away first before anything else. If he stayed here any longer, he might die!

In the restaurant, Ye Yan was happy because Zhao Youlin was willing to go along with his antics. But as if he sensed something, he looked outside and saw a rather familiar black car in the distance. He frowned.

He wanted to focus and observe a little more, but the car had already taken a turn and disappeared from his sight. Since the car disappeared, Ye Yan did not pay too much attention to it and looked back to focus on the woman in front of him.

Zhao Youlin did not know that her actions just now had been misunderstood. After finally finishing off the food, she calmed down a little and slowly lifted her head to look at the person across from her. She returned to business and said, “Mr. Ye, let’s talk about the cooperation we had been discussing moments ago.”

Ye Yan was slightly stunned. Then, he did not know whether he should laugh or cry. “Youlin, we shouldn’t talk about business while eating.”

Zhao Youlin did not say anything. She only narrowed her eyes a little and stared at Ye Yan.

Her narrow, long eyes shone with a clear message. ‘If we aren’t here to talk about business, would I be eating with you?’

Ye Yan understood it, and it was precisely because he understood it that he felt even more helpless. He met Zhao Youlin’s gaze square on for a moment before he admitted defeat.

He put down the chopsticks in his hands and interlaced his fingers before propping his chin on his hands. Ye Yan smiled and decided to relent by saying, “It’s not impossible for me to agree to your request, and I can even make the conditions easier for you, but within limits, of course. We’ll do it according to the conditions you provided in the beginning. You just need to pay the basic fees of this land, and I won’t insist on the other things.”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed a little, but she did not let her guard down just because Ye Yan had agreed to her proposal so easily. If it were really that easy to negotiate with Ye Yan, then he would not have negotiated with them so aggressively some time ago.

“What are your conditions?” Zhao Youlin remained silent for a long while before she raised her head and stared at Ye Yan.

Ye Yan was not at all shocked by Zhao Youlin’s question. It was as if he knew that Zhao Youlin would react this way the moment she heard these things.

“You are very astute indeed. Since I’ve already agreed to your conditions, then I also wish that you can agree to a condition of mine.”

“What is it?” Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed, as if her question had just been answered. She just knew that this man would definitely not sacrifice his own interests out of nowhere to help others succeed in their goal.

“Give me a chance.”

“A chance?”

When he saw the puzzlement in Zhao Youlin’s eyes, Ye Yan smiled brilliantly and stared into Zhao Youlin’s eyes while he said clearly, “Give me a chance to court you properly.”
