Xia Zhetao, and then, the atmosphere in the car instantly dropped by so many degrees Celsius that he could not count it.

Xia Zhetao shuddered.
He did not dare to look at the expression that was so dark that it looked like a demon from hell.
He should not look at things that did not conform with the code of ethics, because if he did, he could kiss his sleep goodbye tonight!

“Um… Former… Ms.
Zhao, isn’t it cramped for an adult to squeeze into one seat with a child? Should you…” ‘Sit at the back, please?! The back is really spacious, you know! Why did you come here and squeeze into this space with me?! Please, spare me!’

“No, I think that this place is pretty good.
I can just hug Joy.”

Once Zhao Youlin said those words, the temperature in the car dropped by several more degrees Celsius.

Joy seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere in the car was really chilly.
He shuddered and wrapped himself around Zhao Youlin like an octopus, refusing to let go.

“Are you cold?” Zhao Youlin bumped Joy a little higher and hugged him tightly in her arms.

When Mu Tingfeng saw this, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Turn the heater on.”

Xia Zhetao looked like he had just been pardoned by the emperor itself.
In a flurry of motion, he turned on the heater in the car.

Wisps of hot air spread in the car, and Joy’s complexion slowly became better.

The neon lights outside the car started lighting up, but the car remained silent.

After remaining silent for a long while, Mu Tingfeng was the first to break the silence.
“It’s not good for a child so young to sit in the passenger seat.”

Zhao Youlin scowled.
She thought.
‘What’s with this man tonight? Why is he caring for the child that he never looked properly in the eye all this time?’

“It’s fine.
I will protect him.”

“…”

Xia Zhetou was about to burst into frightened tears because of the bizarre atmosphere between the two.
‘Former Mrs.
President, the president isn’t showing concern to the young master, he’s clearly suggesting that you sit together with him in the back seat with the child!’

As if he could sense that Xia Zhetou was breaking down, a really abrupt sound rose in the car, causing the people in the car to be simultaneously shocked.

“Joy?” Zhao Youlin looked down in surprise at the flushed boy in her arms.

Joy buried his face in Zhao Youlin’s neck and refused to show his face.
He gave off a bashful, embarrassed presence.
“Mom, I’m hungry.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned, then she remembered that aside from the desserts and snacks he took during tea time at Duan Yarong’s place to fill up his tummy for a while, Joy did not have anything else before the banquet, and just now, he only had time to eat a cake.
He did not even manage to finish it.

Ever since leaving the Mu family, the boy ate several meals a day, and he was now one size bigger.
His appetite also grew.
That bit of cake would not be enough for him.
So, he was definitely very hungry right now.

Once she registered the situation, Zhao Youlin could not hold her laughter back.
She reached out and patted Joy’s butt and asked lovingly, “My hungry kitten, what do you want to eat?”

Zhao Youlin seldom showed this gentle smile in front of Mu Tingfeng, and it tugged hard at the heartstrings of the man who had been observing the mother-son pair all this while from the back seat.

But he soon registered the situation.
Zhao Youlin’s smile was not for him.
Instead, it was for the boy.
Mu Tingfeng’s expression… instantly turned dark again.

This time, Joy did not sense the bone-chilling aura coming from behind him, because he was so tempted by good food that he had started drooling.
He said with sparkling eyes, “I want cake.
Fruit cake.”

“Alright.” Zhao Youlin looked at the streets outside the car and politely asked Xia Zhetao, “Could you stop at the cake shop ahead of us?”

Since she had been softly cooing at Joy, she had not changed her tone just yet.
Zhao Youlin had asked the question in a gentle tone as well, and it caused Xia Zhetao to feel overwhelmed.
