Chapter 132: A Chance Encounter During the Prenatal Check-up (3)

Su Qing’s eyes glittered mischievously. It’s not everyday she got to see her deadpan cousin being abashed. She had to cherish every opportunity she got.

*She’s whimpering. How nice would it be if only she could film this memorable moment down and share it with others?

As for the consequences of filming it and sharing it with others, Su Qing declared that she was not afraid of it. She had a protective husband anyway. So with her husband around, she could afford to be wilful!

When Zhao Youlin saw that Su Qing was acting ‘delicate and clinging’, she narrowed her eyes dangerously as she misunderstood that Su Qing was trying to challenge her. She sneered internally.

Putting aside her current determination to avoid Mu Tingfeng like the plague, even if she did have feelings for Mu Tingfeng before, she would never accept a cheater who already had a child with another woman. Su Qing’s challenge could not stir up her anger at all.

“You’re right, Ms. Su. The facts speak for themselves. There’s nothing to explain.” Zhao Youlin pointedly gave a second glance over Su Qing’s belly, before she smiled lightly and said, “Ms. Su, judging from your stomach, the baby is about three to four months old, right? Since you are having a child, it’d be better to get married as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be futile if the baby is born without a surname. However, looking at the size of your belly, if you are going to wear a wedding dress, I’m afraid it would be..”

Su Qing choked. She knew that her former cousin-in-law was mocking her that even if a ‘mistress’ like her gave birth to a baby, the baby could not escape the fact that he was born out of wedlock. His mother’s guilt of being a homewrecker was there, he was still just an illegitimate child and he was unworthy to be a part of the Mu family.

Well, well, her former cousin-in-law was ruthless indeed when she abused someone. Fortunately, she was not a mistress for real, otherwise..

After Zhao Youlin finished saying that, her gaze did not remain for long on Su Qing, as she turned to Mu Tingfeng and said, “However, that depends on what you want, Mr. Mu. If you’re willing to marry her, nothing is impossible, right?”

Mu Tingfeng could feel his guts twisting tightly. He was feeling indescribable suffocation.

As Su Qing clung to his arm, Mu Tingfeng had already had a bad feeling about this, he wanted to push her away reflectively. But because she was pregnant now, there was no way he could treat her like those women who threw themselves at him, to throw them out. He did not expect that due to his hesitation, things had gotten out of hand.

Looking at the mocking gaze of the person in front of him, Mu Tingfeng found himself at a loss for words for the first time, he could not even say anything to refute her.

As Zhao Youlin felt that the temperature on Joy’s head did not go down at all, she had no intention to continue her conversation with them. She frowned and said, “Well, you guys go on. I have to take Joy to the doctor first, talk next time.”

Upon hearing that, Mu Tingfeng came back to his senses. Looking at the little guy who seemed listless in Zhao Youlin’s arms, he asked quietly, “What’s wrong with Joy?”

“Can’t you see it for yourself, Mr. Mu?” Zhou Youlin shot an icy glare at Mu Tingfeng. Then, she smiled a little and said, “Right, how would a busy man like you know what a child looks like when he’s sick, President Mu?”

Zhao Youlin’s words were filled with irony. Joy had stayed in Mu Tingfeng’s place for four years. As he was a premature baby, added with the lack of care from his parents and the negligence of the servants, he often fell ill.

However, President Mu here had never shown any concern for him. If it wasn’t for the old butler who had been taking care of him, this kid could have frozen to death and no one would even notice it. Now that he finally knew to show some concern, well, why didn’t he do it sooner?

Thinking about that made Zhao Youlin even furious. She shot a final glare at Mu Tingfeng, then she walked past them quickly with Joy in her arms.

Mu Tingfeng was so stupefied by Zhao Youlin’s blunt mockery that he did not even notice that the person who mocked him had already left.

Zhao Youlin and her son were already gone when he finally came around.

Su Qing silently watched Zhao Youlin being pugnacious with him, her expression became more incredulous. Hearing their conversation, she realized that her cousin here had been cold-shouldered by his ex-wife!

“Feng..” Su Qing could not help but call out his name when she saw that Mu Tingfeng did not react for a long time.

Though Su Qing did not expect her call would be just like the fuse that ignited the dynamite pack. Mu Tingfeng’s cold aura was now targeted at her.

“What were you doing?” Mu Tingfeng’s face was sullen. He looked even scarier than the evil that showed up at midnight.

Su Qing shivered terribly. Although Mu Tingfeng always put on a long face, he was considered friendly to family members like herself, it was rare to see him getting so angry at her.

He looked so scary! When he put on his angry face, he had simply turned into the legendary big weapon that could stop children from crying at midnight!

Although she was frightened, Su Qing still stuck her neck out and looked straight at Mu Tingfeng with great courage. She replied firmly, “What did I do? Didn’t you come with me today for my prenatal check-up? Did I say anything wrong?”

Upon hearing Su Qing’s words, the cold aura around Mu Tingfeng grew even more intense. “You shouldn’t ..”

“I shouldn’t? I shouldn’t have pretended to be your mistress and pretended to be intimate with you when we ran into your ex-wife? I shouldn’t have said such ambiguous words, to mislead your ex-wife into thinking that the baby in my belly is yours?” Su Qing cut in before Mu Tingfeng could finish. She stared keenly at him without flinching, “Feng, don’t forget the reason you got me to help you in the first place. We are being misunderstood by her now. Isn’t that what you were begging for in the first place?”

historical

“I..” Mu Tingfeng’s expression finally changed a little. Yes, didn’t he insist on doing that in the first place because he wanted to get rid of his nightmare, Zhao Youlin, to have nothing more to do with her? But what was he.. doing now? Why did he hesitate?

Hesitate? Mu Tingfeng knitted his brows. The old him never changed his initial intention on anything. He never hesitated. But right now, he was indeed hesitating and wavering. And it all because of the woman he could not wait to get rid of a few months ago.

Su Qing saw the struggle beneath Mu Tingfeng’s eyes. She sighed lightly. Although she always knew that Mu Tingfeng’s emotional intelligence had always been inversely proportional to his intelligence quotient, she did not expect a man like him could be so slow in getting this!

“Who was the one who just told me last night that you were divorced and it was impossible between you two now? But do you know what you looked like just now?” Su Qing gazed at Mu Tingfeng’s eyes that looked at her because of her words and said in a resigned manner, “You looked like a husband who was worried about being misunderstood by his wife! And before the divorce, you never treated her as your wife! Do you know what that means?”

A clear crack finally appeared on Mu Tingfeng’s expressionless face. So what did that mean? It meant that..

The answer was right there, but Mu Tingfeng did not want to go any further. He did not want to admit it, admitting that he was being attracted to the woman, little by little.

Su Qing continued to push him. “Look at you right now. And you told me you had no feelings for that woman. You don’t care about her and you even hate her? Do you see everyone as an idiot?”

Mu Tingfeng was jolted. The struggle and disbelief under his eyes were intertwined, and one could not help but feel a little indescribable sympathy for him.

Su Qing looked at him quietly. Then, she sighed again internally and said to herself, ‘Cousin Tingfeng, that’s all I can do to help.’

‘Now that I have said it out to you so plainly, if it still could not save your intelligence quotient that is now at a negative point, then I have no other way to help you now. I can only count on your mother, hoping that she can come here as soon as she can to enlighten you.’ *Sigh
