Chapter 858: The Woes Of Sirius (2)

Sirius was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was being unprofessionally distracted during working hours. He smiled helplessly.

Zhao Youlin was even more surprised and curious when she saw this. Many people knew that Sirius was a workaholic. If he was distracted during working hours, this was definitely not a simple matter.

“Is there really something? Then why don’t you tell me? Although it might not really help you, it’s always good to have one more person hear you out.”

Sirius hesitated. After a long time, he asked hesitantly, “Do… Do you girls… Do you girls like anything in particular?”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She finally understood why Sirius would stare at her blankly from time to time just now. It had not been an easy matter to broach.

“Sirius, don’t tell me that you…”

The expression on Sirius’ face changed instantly. He said coldly with a straight face, “President Zhao, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not interested in married women.”

“Pfft…” Zhao Youlin was initially worried that Sirius was really blessing her with some special feelings, but when she heard Sirius’ words, she knew that she was overthinking matters.

“Since it’s not me, does that mean that it’s another girl troubling you?”

Sirius pursed his lips and did not answer.

Zhao Youlin figured it out. She was a little surprised that Sirius had come across a girl not long after returning to Shalnork. It was probably fate.

Zhao Youlin did not continue to probe. She only said, “It depends on the girl’s personality. I can’t read another girl’s mind. But as long as it’s a girl, she will appreciate a considerate and thoughtful gentleman. Simply put, learn what’s in her heart, not what’s in her mind. If you really have a heart for that girl, then get to know her better and interact with her more. Of course, flowers almost always work. Very few girls would reject the temptation of flowers.”

Sirius nodded and said nothing, but he took Zhao Youlin’s words to heart.

Zhao Youlin looked at him and smiled. “Our collaboration is well ahead of schedule. We can more than afford to miss out on a day. How about this? You go back first, and we’ll find another time to talk.”

Sirius took the proposal from Zhao Youlin and replied guiltily, “I’m sorry.”

Zhao Youlin personally walked Sirius out, but she was still a little surprised. So much so that when she returned home, Mu Tingfeng quickly noticed her abnormality.

After dinner, Mu Tingfeng followed Zhao Youlin back to the room. The first thing he asked Zhao Youlin from behind was, “Did you encounter anything today?”

“Was it that obvious?” Zhao Youlin subconsciously touched her face and turned to look at Mu Tingfeng.

The corners of Mu Tingfeng’s lips curled slightly. He didn’t answer Zhao Youlin directly and continued to ask, “What happened?”

“Actually, it’s nothing. I was just a little surprised. Sirius found someone he likes.”

“Sirius?” Mu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows, looking just as surprised.

“Yes.” Zhao Youlin nodded and briefly explained what had happened today. She didn’t forget to sigh. “Sirius seems to have returned to the country with us. It’s only been a few months, and he already found someone he likes. I feel like…”

“How do you feel?” Mu Tingfeng interrupted Zhao Youlin with a smile. “He’s not young anymore. It’s time to find someone. He had been busy with his career for a long time. In addition, Zhao Youming did a number on him. Now that most of the old wounds are healing, he is free to think about his happiness.”

Zhao Youlin nodded and felt that Mu Tingfeng’s words made sense. She was thinking about something, however, Mu Tingfeng suddenly came close to Zhao Youlin’s ear and whispered, “Since you have the leisure to care about other people’s emotional problems, why don’t you do something that is beneficial to our physical and mental health?”

Zhao Youlin was stunned and immediately rolled her eyes. It was beneficial to physical and mental health. Maybe his appetite, more so than hers!

Although she was complaining, Zhao Youlin didn’t reject Mu Tingfeng’s hint. After all, it had been a long time since they had a “deep discussion” between husband and wife.

Previously, Mu Tingfeng never dared to act rashly because he was pregnant. Later, when he saw that she had taken over the Zhao group, he was worried that she would be too busy and had been concerned about her health. Now, all of this was no longer a problem. Mu Tingfeng didn’t seem to have to hold back anymore.

However, Mu Tingfeng only thought of those external factors. He didn’t think that sometimes; the crisis came from within.

“Wah…” Just as Mu Tingfeng lowered his head and kissed Zhao Youlin’s lips, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from outside the door. Zhao Youlin’s slightly disoriented eyes instantly became clear. She struggled to get up.

Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened slightly, and he stopped her. “Mom is here, and there are so many servants outside. It’s fine.”

Zhao Youlin was still worried. “No, the baby has always been very obedient. He has never cried so miserably before. I want to go down and take a look.”

As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, Mu Tingfeng’s face became even uglier.

Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, the crying downstairs became softer and softer, as if it was gradually under control.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Mu Tingfeng did not give up and turned his head to look at Zhao Youlin. He said, “Are you relieved now? Can I continue?”

Zhao Youlin’s face turned red, and she rolled her eyes at Mu Tingfeng in anger.

Mu Tingfeng’s tightly knitted brows relaxed a little. He lowered his head and was about to continue the husband-and-wife exchange when there was another commotion outside. This time, it was even louder than before, because this time, the commotion came from the door of their room.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng froze at the same time when they heard the knocking on the door. A moment later, Zhao Youlin was the first to react. She patted Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder and said, “Get up. There’s someone knocking on the door!”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes turned cold. He said coldly, “Don’t worry about him.” As he said that, he lowered his head and was about to continue kissing.

“Hey!” Zhao Youlin was shocked. Just as she was about to resist, there was a knock on the door again, and it sounded even more urgent. More importantly, along with the knock came joy’s aggrieved cry, “Dad, Mom, open the door. Mom, Dad…”

“Get up! Didn’t you hear the child shouting outside?” When she heard Joy’s voice, Zhao Youlin finally could not maintain her calm anymore. She patted Mu Tingfeng’s chest and asked him to quickly let her up. A child shouldn’t be witnessing such an act.
