“Joy is only a kid.” Zhao Youlin tried to keep her laughter in check while coaxing Mu Tingfeng, who was squabbling with her.

Zhao Youlin’s argument was dismissed by Mu Tingfeng. He recalled how, when he was only five years old, he was already used to sleeping alone. Of course, this was because he was tossed out by Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang.

When Zhao Youlin noticed Mu Tingfeng’s expression, she knew exactly what he was thinking. She smiled in resignation before she said, “I’ve asked Joy to go back to his own bedroom after this month.”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flashed. Yet, he remained unsatisfied and said dryly, “There are still ten days left for this month.”

Zhao Youlin let out a bark of laughter. “What do you want, then?”

Mu Tingfeng was deep in thought before he stared at Zhao Youlin’s body. It took him some time before he faked a cough and said in a deep voice, “Regarding the thing that I mentioned last time..”

“Huh? What is that?”

“Which means.. we.. inside the washroom..”

‘Washroom?!’ Zhao Youlin immediately reacted to it. Mu Tingfeng was referring to things they did inside the washroom..

Mu Tingfeng saw the changes in Zhao Youlin’s expression. He knew that she had recalled it. However, she looked like she was reluctant. He then narrowed his eyes and asked back, “What’s wrong? Are you not willing?”

“Urm..” The person on the other side of Zhao Youlin gave her a look that implied she would not be able to sleep well tonight if she was not willing. She made quips to herself when she noticed his expression. ‘He’s a big baby. How can he be so childish and throw tantrums like Joy? Why was I so delusional in the beginning that I thought he was talented and mature?!’

Regardless, it was clear that delving into this issue was no longer worthwhile. Zhao Youlin discreetly rolled her eyes at him before she gave in to his will. “Alright.. Only once and there would be no more. Also, you must not act inappropriately toward me in front of Joy during this period of time. Otherwise, the contract is deemed null and void.”

Mu Tingfeng weighed the pros and cons before he concluded that it was a good deal. He then gave a nod and agreed to Zhao Youlin’s suggestion.

Finally, Zhao Youlin could breathe a sigh of relief because she no longer had to worry about Mu Tingfeng “harassing” her in front of Joy and teaching him incorrectly. She then took another book from the bedside table and began reading it. Although the hour may be considered late for a child, it does not have to be an adult’s sleeping hour.

Again, Mu Tingfeng was not happy when he saw Zhao Youlin read a book and ignored him.

Was the book as good as him? His jealousy grew, and the subject of his jealousy shifted from a human to a non-human. The Mighty President Mu refused to be left alone and wanted to make his presence known. “Are you going back to work tomorrow?”

Indeed, right after Mu Tingfeng spoke, Zhao Youlin immediately turned her head around and looked at him. She hesitated for a while before she gave a nod.

During the working day, Zhao Youlin was always tired and wished she could take a few days off so she could be free from work and become a parasite at home.

In truth, when she was not working, she often grew bored with too much time on her hands. Perhaps, she was destined to work hard for her life.

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flashed before he said, “Your brother has returned to the Zhao family. He is the first heir in line and he will almost certainly inherit?Zhao Enterprise. Besides, you’re already married into the Mu family. Have you thought about working for Mu Feng Group?”

“Work for Mu Feng Group?” Zhao Youlin was stunned. By the time she snapped out of her daze, she looked at Mu Tingfeng teasingly. “Are you trying to steal me from Zhao Enterprise?”

Mu Tingfeng fell silent. His silence was equivalent to giving his consent.

Without a doubt, Mu Tingfeng’s words were motivated by selfishness. It made no difference whether Zhao Youlin worked for Zhao Enterprise or Mu Feng Group. She did, however, have a significant influence on him.

If Zhao Youlin returned to Zhao Enterprise, they could only see each other in the morning and at night after work. This was certainly a scenario which Mu Tingfeng, who had hoped to bind Zhao Youlin to himself and use glue for safe measure on a daily basis, could not put up with.

It did, however, make a difference for him if Zhao Youlin could transfer to the Mu Feng Group. With her current abilities and status, Zhao Youlin could easily be offered the position of general manager. Mu Tingfeng, on the other hand, would prefer Zhao Youlin to be an assistant to the president or secretary to the president rather than a general manager.

Despite the fact that the positions offered to her may be a waste of her abilities. Zhao Youlin could work with him in pairs and stay beside him on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, the current personal assistant, Mighty Secretary Xia, would either be promoted or transferred to outstation. Mighty Secretary Xia could have all he wanted as long as he did not interfere with Mu Tingfeng’s world with Zhao Youlin.

Thinking of this, the Mighty Secretary Xia, who was hard at work in the company, sneezed at that moment. He rubbed his itchy nose while wondering who was secretly nagging him again.

Little did he know that he was at the stake of being abandoned by his own superior after being used by him, and was on the verge of losing his job.

While Mu Tingfeng’s strategies for achieving his own wishful thinking were well-thought-out, Zhao Youlin did not agree with his advice.

“If possible, I would want to leave Zhao Enterprise as well. After all, Yichen is back. I no longer play a particularly useful role if I continue to stay. After all, there are many people who want to cause me trouble in Zhao Enterprise. It’s very irritating to see them around. Unfortunately, reality shows that I am not allowed to do so.”

The main reason the former master allowed her to work in Zhao Enterprise, in the beginning, was hoping to train her to become the heir of Zhao Enterprise.

Zhao Enterprise now had a better candidate for its heir. Generally speaking, Zhao Youlin could actually step down from her role. After all, she was not particularly interested in becoming the so-called heir of Zhao Enterprise.

She used to bring up this issue when she returned to the Zhao family. However, she never expected many people to object to her idea.

Although Han Yichen had returned to the Zhao family, he did not intend to inherit the Zhao family’s fortune with the excuse that he already owned the Sheng Huang Group and did not have the capacity and energy to manage Zhao Enterprise at the same time. As such, he had turned down the former master Zhao’s and Zhao Shunrong’s suggestion of asking him to return to Zhao Enterprise.

The former master Zhao and Zhao Shunrong did not force him. After all, they were still hoping that Zhao Youlin would inherit Zhao Enterprise. Han Yichen was the owner of the Sheng Huang Group. With their blood relationship, as well as the both of them being connected to An Yue, Han Yichen and Zhao Youlin’s relationship was naturally closer compared to others. If anything were to happen in the future, they would still have each other’s backs. With this in mind, it did not matter regardless of whether Han Yichen wanted to return to Zhao Enterprise.

As for Duan Yarong, her face darkened as soon as she heard Zhao Youlin’s words. She thought that Zhao Youlin wanted to draw a line with them soon after marrying into the Mu family. As a result, she threw a tantrum at Zhao Youlin. In the end, it had taken Zhao Youlin a great deal of effort to appease her, and she no longer dared to bring up this issue.

“Yichen had no intention of returning to Zhao Enterprise. My grandfather and parents are also opposed to me resigning. As such, even if I had the desire to resign from Zhao Enterprise, I couldn’t....”
