The smile on Kirsten’s face finally faded a little. His deep blue eyes, which were as deep as the ocean, stared at Zhao Youlin. It was rare for him to become serious, which drew everyone’s attention to him.
“Mu’s wife.”
“Yes?”
“Although Mu has a bad temper and is cold to people, he is terrible when it comes to romance. Sometimes, he likes to take on the storm alone and hide everything in his heart. When he is stubborn, he is especially stubborn, which makes people want to beat him up to vent their anger.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. Should she say that he was indeed her best friend? This description was really… appropriate.
Every time Kirsten said something, Mu Tingfeng’s face would turn darker. Just when Mu Tingfeng was about to blow up, Kirsten suddenly changed the topic.
“But, he is a simple, earnest man. He never hides his feelings or thoughts. When he really likes someone, he simply doesn’t really know how to express it, or be subtle about it. He often goes down one path and runs his head into a wall. I can see that he cares about you very much. So… in the future, please bear with him and take care of his fragile self.”
Kirsten’s rare moment of severity stunned Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng at the same time. When she came back to her senses, Zhao Youlin’s first reaction was to look at Mu Tingfeng, but she found that someone seemed to be looking at her as well.
However, when she looked over, she shifted her gaze to the side with a guilty conscience and pretended that it had nothing to do with her. Even so, no matter how much she pretended, the tip of her slightly red ears betrayed her.
The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curled up slightly as she nodded and said, “I will.”
Kirsten continued to stare at Zhao Youlin. Just when Zhao Youlin thought that he had something important to tell her or remind her, she suddenly saw a familiar bright smile on his face, then he greeted her in a flattering manner, “Can you tell me your name now? Or tell me how to address you? Mrs. Mu, Mu’s wife. It’s all really weird and awkward to call you like this.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. Could this be the legendary flash of handsomeness that lasted less than three seconds?
The corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched slightly.
Mu Tingfeng echoed her thoughts. After hearing Kirsten’s question, his expression suddenly turned cold. He once again stood in front of Zhao Youlin and snorted coldly, “You can call her Mrs. Mu.”
Kirsten was speechless.
Zhao Youlin was equally speechless.
Zhao Youlin was not as shameless as Mu Tingfeng. After rolling her eyes at Mu Tingfeng, she almost felt helpless. Finally, she relaxed and said, “My surname is Zhao and my name is Youlin. If you don’t mind, you can call me Youlin. You can also call me by my surname just like how you call him.”
“Youlin?” Kirsten muttered unconsciously. Then, he felt a sudden chill on his back. It was so cold that he shivered. He laughed dryly and said, “I shall call you Zhao.”
Zhao Youlin glanced at Mu Tingfeng as if she had sensed something. Although it felt a little weird to be called by her surname, it was better to be have a jealous husband. She nodded in agreement.
The few of them chatted for a long time. From time to time, they could hear Kisten talking about the various scandals of Mu Tingfeng in school. Zhao Youlin listened with great interest, but Mu Tingfeng’s face was dark the whole time. For a man, nothing was more depressing than being embarassed front of his woman. However, Zhao Youlin had developed a taste for the stories, so he couldn’t open his mouth to stop Kirsten from continuing. He could only stare at the traitor.
Kirsten was great at socializing and carrying a conversation. Under his guidance, not a single person was left silent for long.
However, as the male and female protagonists of the wedding banquet, it was inevitable that many guests who came to the banquet would start to gather around them. While greeting the couple, they would still keep up the conversation with the two of them.
It was also at this time when Zhao Youlin realized that many of the big shots attending the banquet knew Mu Tingfeng and were acquainted with him at varying extent. From this point, it could be seen that the Mu family was a powerhouse, even globally. The Zhao family or even the so-called four elite families of Shalnork could not even compare.
Kirsten turned his head and looked at the banquet that was filled with people. Suddenly, he spotted someone. His eyes lit up as he waved at someone not far away and said, “Sirius, Sirius, this way!”
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned. They turned their heads and saw a man walking over from not far away. Most importantly, the man had black hair and brown eyes. He looked like he was from Shalnork, but the name…
Sirius walked towards them. He was stunned when he saw Zhao Youlin and Madonna sitting beside Kirsten, but he quickly recovered. He looked at the two of them with a faint smile and said, “Kirsten, Madonna, these two are…”
Kirsten happily introduced the two of them to Sirius. “This is my good friend, Mu. Beside him is his wife, Zhao…”
As Kirsten spoke, he turned to look at Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin. In turn, he introduced the man who had suddenly appeared to them, “This is my vice president, Sirius. Zhao, he is your countryman.”
A hint of understanding flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She looked at the man and asked in a low voice, “Shalnork?”
Sirius nodded, “Yes, my Shalnork name is Luo Ying Sea, and my foreign name is Sirius. However, I prefer people to call me by my foreign name.”
Zhao Youlin smiled and asked no further questions. She reached out to shake hands with Sirius.
Mu Tingfeng also reached out to shake hands with that person. However, compared to Zhao Youlin, Mu Tingfeng looked at this person more inquisitively.
Kirsten didn’t notice this and sat down happily with Sirius. The table of four became a table of five.
As soon as Sirius sat down… Kirsten excitedly praised Sirius in front of the others. “Mu, Sirius is truly outstanding. He has only been in the company for a year, but he has already been promoted from secretary to vice president. He has never made a single mistake in his work. Not long after he was promoted to vice president, he has already achieved many things for the company. Now, most operations in the company are relying on him.”
“From secretary to vice president?” After listening to Kirsten’s tale, the first thing that Mu Tingfeng noticed was this. He had seen instances of people being promoted from the basic level to the senior level within a short period of time, however, no matter how he looked at it, it was quite a massive jump, right?
Mu Tingfeng began to wonder if this person had some plan in the works.
