Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Panda Novel

When Zhao Youlin saw how laidback that person was, she cursed to herself, wondering why a scoundrel like him even existed in this world. If not for the fact that Joy seemed to like him, she would have chased him away without hesitation.

In spite of it all, she put on a friendly but aloof smile. She rejected him politely, “Thank you for your kindness, Mister Ye. But, it’s not good for a child to overeat such food. Moreover, I still have some at home. You don’t have to waste money on this, Mister Ye.”

Initially, Joy stared wide-eyed at the colorful cookies and candies in Ye Yan’s hand.

As soon as he heard Zhao Youlin’s words, he immediately averted his gaze. He held Zhao Youlin’s hand obediently and lowered his head to look at the ants crawling at his feet.

Ye Yan did not seem to be surprised by Zhao Youlin’s rejection. He merely smiled faintly and switched the topic. He said, “Ms. Zhao, you’re right. This junk food is truly bad for our health. It’s my bad.”

As Ye Yan was speaking, he bent down and looked at Joy’s lowered head. He smiled faintly and said, “Joy, I’ve never taken care of a child before, so I’ve no idea what a child likes to eat, and what kind of food would better suit you. Could you please let me know so that I could bring you out to eat next time?”

Right after Ye Yan spoke, Joy immediately raised his head and looked expectantly at Ye Yan. However, he quickly withdrew the elation on his face very soon and looked at Zhao Youlin who stood beside him in guilt.

Zhao Youlin looked at her pitiful son who had nearly just slipped his tongue.

However, it was only a close call. She kept a straight face and scooped Joy up. She said, “I’m sorry, Mister Ye. Joy has a weak stomach. Most of the time, I don’t allow him to take in a stranger’s food. What Joy wants, I’ll buy for him. Mister Ye, there’s no need to spend on us.”

Although Zhao Youlin felt her heartache for her son’s loneliness ever since he was young and knew that he had always wanted a friend, she could not afford to let her silly son be convinced by just a few candies.

Mister Ye might look friendly on the surface. However, after many years of experience, she got acquainted with various people and honed her perception as well as sharpened her judgment. She knew that Mister Ye was certainly not as simple as he appeared to be.

Moreover, he was so skillful to the point that not only had he repeatedly created the chance to “bump into” her, but he had also blatantly pleased her precious son from time to time. Apparently, he had some ulterior motives.

It took her great pains to bring her son out of the Mu family. All she asked for was a peaceful life. She did not wish to be involved in more trouble. Therefore, Mister Ye, who at a single glance told her that he could be an ill-meaning guy was definitely out of her friend list.

However, little did Zhao Youlin expect that even though she did not want to get herself into trouble, trouble always found its way to her. They were literally inevitable.

“Mister Ye, is there anything else? If not, we’ll make our move first. It’s about time for Joy to have his meal.” Zhao Youlin held Joy and was about to depart as soon as she finished her words without even awaiting Ye Yan’s response.

“Wait!” Ye Yan had never expected Zhao Youlin to reject him so blatantly. She had even turned to leave without any hesitation at all. Out of desperation, he grabbed Zhao Youlin’s hand.

Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes. She shook her hand violently and agilely broke free from Ye Yan’s grab. She sneered, “Mister Ye, please behave yourself.”

Ye Yan froze as he looked at his right hand dangling in mid-air within the blink of an eye. A flash of amazement darted across his eyes.

Then, he cast another glance at Zhao Youlin. There was an obvious hint of defensiveness and mockery from her smile. His heart shivered. Just as he was about to explain for himself, a mean shriek coming from a woman abruptly burst out from behind.

“I’ve been wondering why a certain one has such guts that even after getting divorced, she is still reluctant to return home although her father and mother had personally come over to pick her up. Apparently, she has hooked up with another man right after her divorce. She must have been indulging herself in such pleasures. Indeed, once a wench, forever a wench. Regardless of how many times she got married and how many men she has been with, she can never stop seducing men with her foxy behavior. What shame to the Zhao family if this spreads out!”
