Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

The two people in the elevator heard the shouts from the people outside, and they were stunned. They understood the severity of the situation, but instead of saying anything, they cast a glance at each other.

The elevator was going to plunge down at any moment, and the sooner they got out, the less danger they were exposed to, and they had more of a chance of surviving.

Mu Tingfeng said nothing. He just used his actions to show his decision. He pulled Zhao Youlin’s hand and pushed it up, wanting the people above to first pull Zhao Youlin up.

Zhao Youlin did not expect Mu Tingfeng to do this. She was stunned for a moment, and once she understood what was going on, she wanted to pull her hand back in panic, but Mu Tingfeng noticed her intentions beforehand and held her hand tightly, refusing to let her go.

“Mu Tingfeng, let go!” Zhao Youlin tried freeing herself a few times, but she was unable to remove her hand from Mu Tingfeng’s, and she felt a little frustrated for a period of time.

“Go first.” Mu Tingfeng ignored Zhao Youlin’s glare and said concisely. His tone brooked no argument.

“You…” Exposed to Mu Tingfeng’s firm but serious gaze, Zhao Youlin felt lost, which was something rare for her.

But then, she remembered something else, and she bit her lip. Then, she hissed, “You’re afraid of the dark, go out first.”

Mu Tingfeng was slightly stunned, and the spark in his eyes flickered. Was she… worried about him?

This realization caused President Mu to feel a little delighted, even if Zhao Youlin’s worry stemmed from a misunderstanding.

But while he was delighted, Mu Tingfeng did not go for a compromise. He still refused to let go of Zhao Youlin’s hand.

With what happened before as a precedent, when the crowd saw this, this naturally became a scene where a couple was only worried about the other during a moment of life and death and wanted to give the chance of survival to the other. They were both trying to let the other have the chance to go first, especially the general manager.

‘Damn it, who said that the general manager no longer has any feelings for Mu Feng’s president? She’s placing her own life at second place for him. If this isn’t true love, we won’t believe in love anymore in the future!

‘Also, who said that Mu Feng’s president doesn’t like the general manager and that political marriages never end up happy? Look at this! Whoever said this must be smacked in the face.

‘Look at President Mu being so accommodating to the general manager. That’s definitely love! It can really make single people jealous!’

That was how misunderstandings were formed.

Xia Zhetao saw this outside the elevator, and he was about to lose his temper because of these two. They were in a dangerous situation, and these two still had the mood to flirt around! Not everyone could tolerate this!

“President, we’re in a hurry. Come up here first and pull Ms. Zhao up. It’ll be the same.”

‘So please, stop arguing about this anymore. Even if you’re not anxious, we are.’

When Mu Tingfeng heard what Xia Zhetao said, he hesitated for a moment, then looked down at Zhao Youlin’s slightly stubborn features. In the end, he did not continue persisting. He sighed, squeezed Zhao Youlin’s hand, and whispered, “Wait for me.”

Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a bit, but she did not show it on her face. Neither did she say anything.

Mu Tingfeng extended his hand to the person outside and climbed out of the elevator as the person outside pulled him.

And the moment he left, the originally rather stable elevator tilted to one side, and it was accompanied by a bang. Another cable snapped.

An elevator usually had around four to five cables supporting its weight. From the moment the elevator malfunctioned, four of its cables had snapped, and this meant that there was only one cable left supporting the elevator!

When the fourth cable snapped, the elevator slid down a little more, and now, rescuing Zhao Youlin became a little more difficult, because the elevator slid down, and they could no longer grab her with just their hands.

Even if Zhao Youlin was a little taller than the average girl, it did not make the situation even the slightest bit easier.

When Mu Tingfeng regained his footing on the floor, he heard the sound behind him, and he turned around swiftly to see the sliding elevator. His heart clenched.

By the side, when Xia Zhetao saw Mu Tingfeng come out of the elevator safely, he sighed a little in relief and was about to move in front of Mu Tingfeng when someone suddenly rushed over by his side and knocked into Xia Zhetao. The impact was so great that Xia Zhetao spun around before he could gain his footing.

Xia Zhetao sucked in a sharp breath, and with a dark expression, he wanted to look at the person who knocked into him, only to see that the person had rushed over to Mu Tingfeng to eagerly ask about his wellbeing. He scowled, and for the first time, clear disgust shone in his eyes.

Zhao Youxi did not know that her unintentional action had caused Mu Tingfeng’s trusted subordinate displeasure. She drew close to Mu Tingfeng happily and seized her chance to show her concern. “President Mu, are you alright? You must have been scared in the elevator. Do you want to come and sit in my office? My office is the one furthest in the floor. I’ll bring you over so that you can calm down.”

Zhao Youxi’s full attention was on Mu Tingfeng. When she heard that Mu Tingfeng had been staying in the elevator with Zhao Youlin, she had panicked and wondered if Mu Tingfeng would die together with Zhao Youlin…

Now, Mu Tingfeng was fine, and at the same time she was relieved, she also felt delighted and started scheming.

Mu Tingfeng had just been rescued from the elevator, so he was definitely terrified. This was a God-given chance for her.

It was rare for men to get in trouble, especially men like Mu Tingfeng. When such men got into the rare occasion of trouble, when a woman showed a suitable amount of consideration, it was even more practical than any sort of sweet words, and it was easy to touch their hearts. This was what Zhao Youxi learned, and it was a lesson Li Hongyu taught her.

As long as she seized this chance, Mu Tingfeng would definitely open his heart to her and fall for her.

As for the other person in the elevator…? Zhao Youxi wanted the elevator to immediately fall so that a certain someone would be crushed to death.

Unfortunately, this method might work on people like her father, but it did not bring about any effect with people like Mu Tingfeng. In fact, not only did it have no effect, but it had the adverse effect.

Mu Tingfeng cast a glance at this woman who showed no concern for her blood-related sister in the elevator but used the chance to blatantly seduce him. The disgust in his eyes grew, and without any sort of tact whatsoever, he brought his hand up and slapped away the hand wanting to grab his arm. He brutally said, “Go away.”

Zhao Youxi staggered because of the slap and nearly fell. The smile on her face froze.

When she finally snapped out of her daze, Mu Tingfeng had already moved forward and did not even spare a glance at her.

Mocking gazes were cast on her, and they felt like needles. Zhao Youxi’s complexion turned red, then pale, then red again.

After a long while, she clenched her fists, stomped her feet, and left. She did not care about the survival of the other person in the elevator.
