Chapter 441: Complete Acceptance (1)

“Mu Tingfeng, are you crazy? Get off of me!” Zhao You was caught off guard and was pressed against the wall by him. By the time she realized she had been pressed against the wall, her expression had turned dark, and she shouted at him indignantly.

Mu Tingfeng did not plan to let go of her. He said unhappily, “How could you talk about other guys in front of me? It looks like I have to make sure you are made clear of your current status now.”

“My current status? What is my status now? It’s my right to mention anyone that I like. Besides, they are my friends whom I have known for many years. You tossed him off to another country. Why can’t I say something about it?” Zhao Youlin was pissed off by Mu Tingfeng’s argument. She glared at Mu Tingfeng fiercely without a hint of fear.

Mu Tingfeng was equally pissed off upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words. His already darkened face was only intensified. He grabbed Zhao Youlin’s arm and said coldly, “You are not allowed to keep in touch with those people in the future.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned. She recovered her senses and glared at Mu Tingfeng viciously. She let out a bark of laughter and said, “Mu Tingfeng, don’t go overboard. I’ve known them for more than a decade whereas I’ve only known you for a short period of time. What right do you have to make me sever ties with them? Who are you to say that?”

“Just because I am your boyfriend, your child’s father as well as your husband in near future. How about them? Who are they to you?”

“They are…” Zhao Youlin’s expression darkened. Just when she was about to scream at Mu Tingfeng, she suddenly seemed to understand something. She sized Mu Tingfeng up in puzzlement and mused, “Are you… jealous? Even if you are, this is way too much. You… um…”

Her lips were blocked by something soft. Zhao Youlin immediately returned to her senses.

Darn it! This guy always resorted to the same trick whenever he could not win against others. That was cheating!

Zhao Youlin was not willing to play along and so she kept slapping Mu Tingfeng’s back so that he would let go of her.

Unfortunately, she had underestimated Mu Tingfeng’s capacity for mischief. No matter how Zhao Youlin struggled and punched him, Mu Tingfeng still never let go of her.

After they had finished kissing, Zhao Youlin felt her entire lips were burning which was almost akin to having been stung. They would certainly swell up in a few moments.

When she realized this, her entire face turned black. “Mu Tingfeng, you…”

“That’s right. I am jealous!” Before Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng had already interrupted her. He had uttered his words with incredible dominance and power.

Zhao Youlin was startled. After some time, only then did she snap out of her daze and say embarrassedly, “Why would you get jealous concerning them…”

To answer Zhao Youlin’s question which she had little understanding of, Mu Tingfeng made it sound like a simple issue by saying, “Like you said, you have known them for a decade. As for me… I’ve known you for less than two years. Besides, we have spent most of our time squabbling with each other in these two years.

Zhao Youlin was rendered speechless. Mu Tingfeng drew in a deep breath. He still had not let go of Zhao Youlin. In fact, he rested his face in the crook of Zhao Youlin’s neck and whispered, “Seeing you being so close with them, considering things for them, speaking up for them, and even standing against me because of them, I don’t feel at ease. I feel unhappy. I am afraid that someday you might replace them better than me and realize that they…”

“You…” Zhao Youlin was dumbfounded. She had never thought that Mu Tingfeng would contemplate this issue to such an extent. “We’re only friends and are not what you think of. You are simply getting yourself into worrying about nothing. Mu Tingfeng, do you trust me or not, or you don’t trust in yourself?”

“Of course I trust you.” Mu Tingfeng subconsciously clenched his hand as he was clutching Zhao Youlin’s hand. He said in a muffled voice, “But, I don’t trust myself, neither do I trust them.”

Perhaps, Zhao Youlin did not have any feelings for them. However, those people might not feel the same.

Ever since Mu Tingfeng fell for Zhao Youlin, he finally understood why Zhao Youlin had attracted so many people’s attention.

If she was the previous Zhao Youlin, no matter how many men she attempted to seduce, he would remain unperturbed and aloof. One, he did not care about her at all. Two, he knew that the previous Zhao Youlin lacked the ability and capital to seduce others.

However, the current Zhao Youlin was different. She had subconsciously attracted many men such as Luo Weibing, Mu Chen, Ye Yan and Qin Huai as well. They vied for her, yet she remained unaware of their affection.

Even though he knew that Zhao Youlin had feelings for him, he could not help but get worked up and angry.

If possible, he would have hidden Zhao Youlin away so that she solely belonged to him.

However, he knew that he could not do so. That was a selfish act rather than an act of love. That was… very hurtful. The person whom he loved was destined to stand in a position where others could never attain. She was destined to capture other pairs of eyeballs. He could never lock her in his home and made her stay at a corner.

Therefore, all he could do was to try his best to stand side-by-side with her as well as drive away those people who attempted to pull him down and replace him.

Zhao Youlin gradually eased off her struggling. Her entire body fell into Mu Tingfeng’s embrace. She fell silent for some time before she mumbled, “You… are different from them.”

“Huh?”

Zhao Youlin drew in a deep breath and said with determination, “You are different from them. Mu Chen is my colleague, friend, and more like my family member. When I lost my mother, he and his mother had helped me and never once treated me like an outsider. Therefore, I treat him like my younger brother. Likewise, he treats me as his older sister.”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes as she recalled the young man who grinned happily and had always tagged along behind her back then. These days he gazed at her with the eyes of a stranger.

“That day, Secretary Xia had bumped into me at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city because of the previous Zhao Youlin’s grandma’s memorial service. Most of the Zhao family members were basically present. Just when I was about to go home, I ran into Mu Chen. At that time, I was actually not prepared to contact him. I had only wanted to look at him from afar.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Youlin felt that a certain person had clenched his hands as he was holding her. She certainly knew that this person must have had different thoughts. She heaved a sigh. “When I was shot, Mu Chen was right beside me. He stood next to me, yet he had no way to save me. He had watched me fall and die. Mu Chen had suffered greatly, and I was worried. At the same time, I did not want him to blame himself for the rest of his life because of my death.”

After Zhao Youlin explained her relationship with Mu Chen, Mu Tingfeng softened up. The jealousy in his heart instantly subsided.

Mu Tingfeng recalled Zhao Youlin’s words just now. He pursed his lips and blurted out in low voice, “In the future, I will protect you. I won’t let anyone have a chance to hurt you.”
