Mu Tingfeng seemed to have sensed the shock in Zhao Youlin’s heart. He turned around and pulled Zhao Youlin into his arms. He sighed and said, “Perhaps it’s his way of coping.”

He thought that one day, the person who would never appear again would suddenly return here, see all of this, and then return to their side.

How could Zhao Youlin not know this? It was precisely because of this that her heart became more and more bitter.

From the moment she was reborn, no, it should be said that from the moment she died, they had already diverged into two parallel lines that would never meet again. It was destined that things would never return to the way they were.

The two of them hugged each other. Neither of them spoke. They stayed in this house that had sheltered Zhao Youlin for many years, before they left hand in hand.

After locking the door, Zhao Youlin did not put the key back under the potted plant. Instead, she threw the key into the trash bin along with some other trash that she had brought out of the house.

Mu Tingfeng watched silently from the side. He knew that Zhao Youlin was saying goodbye to this place. Today was the last time she would return here as the Zhao Youlin from her previous life. From now on… she was only the eldest lady of the Zhao family, his wife.

“Let’s go.” Zhao Youlin turned her head and smiled at Mu Tingfeng. At the same time, she stretched out her hand. Mu Tingfeng cooperated by reaching out his hand to hold her and slowly led her back.

However, neither of them expected that just as they turned around and were about to walk towards the car, a black RV suddenly blocked them.

Mu Tingfeng looked at the car. The first thing that came to his mind was the car crash not too long ago. He almost reflexively took a step forward and blocked Zhao Youlin behind him. He was completely on guard.

Zhao Youlin was stunned. After she reacted, she naturally thought of the previous incident. She reached out and placed her hand on Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder. She narrowed her eyes and sized up the black RV that seemed to have come with ill intentions.

Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin said nothing until the car door opened and an unfamiliar man walked out from the back seat.

Of course, the word “unfamiliar” was meant for Zhao Youlin. After Mu Tingfeng saw the man’s face clearly, he was stunned and immediately called out in a low voice, “Mr. Duan?”

Mr. Duan? Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment, and her gaze towards the unfamiliar man became more scrutinizing and inquisitive.

The man looked to be in his early forties. He was dressed in an elegant suit and had a naturally refined temperament. Anyone who took a glance at him would be deeply impressed.

Mr. Duan was also stunned when he saw Mu Tingfeng. Then, he smiled gently and said, “I didn’t expect to meet President Mu here. What a coincidence!”

“It’s quite a coincidence.” A light flashed in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes. “Mr. Duan, why are you here?”

Mr. Duan was about to speak when a man suddenly ran out from the side. He leaned close to Mr. Duan’s ear and whispered a few words to him.

After Mr. Duan heard that, the surprise in his eyes deepened. He turned to look at Mu Tingfeng and Mu Tingfeng and coughed lightly. “I’m here to ask President Mu and the person behind you…”

Seeing that Mr. Duan was looking at Zhao Youlin, Mu Tingfeng subconsciously moved to the side to block Mr. Duan’s line of sight. He said in a deep voice, “This is my wife.”

“Oh, it’s Mrs. Mu. I’m sorry.” Mr. Duan didn’t seem to notice the defensive look on Mu Tingfeng’s face. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Youlin as if he wanted to bore a hole in her entire body.

Zhao Youlin felt chills creeping all over her back. She couldn’t help but cough and take the initiative to ask, “Mr. Duan, what’s the matter?”

Mr. Duan finally realized that he had lost his composure. His gaze on Zhao Youlin was slightly restrained. Although there was still a gentle smile on his face, Zhao Youlin and Mr. Duan could clearly see some urgency in his eyes.

“Um, may I ask if you two entered the room at the end of the alley just now?”

The room at the end of the alley? Wasn’t that…

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other, and their gazes toward Mr. Duan became more and more guarded.

Mr. Duan saw the situation and hurriedly said, “President Mu, Mrs. Mu, don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean any harm.”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows, and her expression was full of doubt. “No harm?”

Mr. Duan looked at Zhao Youlin with a complicated expression. Finally, he spoke up. “Just tell me, if you two entered that room, you must have known the owner of the room. Then… can you tell me something about the owner of that room?”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned again. Mu Tingfeng discreetly winked at Zhao Youlin and asked when Zhao Youlin had met such a person.

However, Zhao Youlin was obviously more confused than him. She was sure that whether it was in her previous life or this life, it was the first time she had met this man in front of her. Who knew why he would suddenly appear and ask about her?

“Why don’t you ask the people around here? It’s actually our first time here, so I’m afraid we can’t help you with your questions.”

When Mr. Duan heard Zhao Youlin’s words, the light in his eyes couldn’t help but dim a little. If he could, he would have asked long ago.

Because the previous owner of the house was too busy, he didn’t have many opportunities to get in touch with them, and he didn’t like to trouble others for various reasons. What information he got out of others was few and far between.

The ones who knew more were downright hostile to him and didn’t want to tell him anything.

He had been guarding this place for a long time, so long that he didn’t understand why he was being so persistent.

Until today, when he suddenly heard from his subordinates that a pair of strangers had entered the house. He almost dropped his work without thinking. He told his subordinates to keep them here and rushed over.

Unexpectedly, when he rushed over, he saw Mu Tingfeng and his wife.

Seeing that Zhao Youlin had finished speaking and was about to pull Mu Tingfeng away, Mr. Duan hurriedly stopped the two of them. He said anxiously, “Mrs. Mu, wait, wait. I just want to ask if you know anything about the mother of the owner of that house. The mother of the owner of the house seems to have passed away very early. The people around here don’t seem to know much about this. I had no choice, so…”
