Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful Chapter 123
Advertisement
Mu Tingfeng watched the pleasant scene going on in the passenger seat, as if no one could ever interrupt the two in their little bubble. He suddenly felt a little melancholic, feeling that he was supposed to be in that harmonious picture, but now… he was out of it.
Mu Tingfeng frowned at this unexpected thought. Why would he suddenly have this kind of thought?
He had always despised this woman, he did not even anticipate this child and was unhappy when he was born, but now...
Mu Tingfeng's expression turned dark, and it again turned the atmosphere in the car even drearier.
This time, Zhao Youlin really felt the dreariness, she made a sarcastic quip in her heart. Why did this man have such extreme mood swings? Why was he suddenly angry again?
Zhao Youlin subconsciously tightened her hold on Joy, fending off the dreary air.
She was speechless but at the same time, she made a decision, a resolution to always go the other way if she saw this man. She was not scared that he would suddenly fly off his handle, but she still feared for her child's safety.
At that moment, Mu Tingfeng was sulking on his own, completely clueless that he just accidentally made a mistake.
Xia Zhetao bitterly glanced at the rearview mirror, peeping at the big boss seated in the backseat who was beginning to release a dreary air once more.
'Mr. President, can you please stop being a human air-conditioner? At this point, even the heater won't work! Besides, it is no big deal if I die from your dreariness, but if it affects the former Mrs. President and her child, then Mrs. President would definitely hate you even more!'
Xia Zhetao had always been cautious and conscientious ever since he started working as a secretary, and he certainly needed to worry a lot about his boss's romantic relationship.
Fortunately, Zhao Youlin shielded him, so Joy did not feel uncomfortable. After finishing the cake bought by Xia Zhetao, Joy started to feel drowsy.

Zhao Youlin glanced at the sleepy Joy, and with a soft smile, she said, "Are you sleepy? Just sleep, Mommy is here."
Hearing Zhao Youlin's soothing words, Joy's eyelids finally fluttered close while he drifted to sleep in Zhao Youlin's embrace.
Concerned about the child in the car, Xia Zhetao drove slowly but steadily, so when the car reached Zhao Youlin's neighborhood, it was already close to 10 pm.
Zhao Youlin thanked Xia Zhetao and opened the car door, but she immediately shivered when she felt the strong difference in temperature.
Zhao Youlin subconsciously tightened her hold on her child, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the vehicle.
Mu Tingfeng, who was keeping his focus on the lady from his place at the backseat, furrowed his eyebrows. Concern flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Youlin closed the car door with one hand, and as she started to walk away, she felt a sudden warmth covering her cold shoulders.
Zhao Youlin subconsciously turned around, and only then did she see Mu Tingfeng walking out from the car, wearing only a thin shirt, as for his suit jacket...
Zhao Youlin looked down at her shoulders and was surprised it was draped on her body.
As Zhao Youlin was looking down, Mu Tingfeng swiftly got back in the car. Closing the door with a bang, he growled, "Drive."
Xia Zhetao jumped in his seat. He promptly started the car and drove away.
Zhao Youlin was left behind, standing there carrying her child with the jacket draped on her. She felt confused. This man was really… unfathomable.
Meanwhile, when the car was a distance away, Xia Zhetao sneakily peeked at the rearview mirror and saw that there was a stiff expression on Mu Tingfeng's face, and that really shocked him.
'Is Mr. President… embarrassed?! My goodness! I-I... seem to have discovered some incredible thing, at this rate would will I be able to live until I can safely marry a woman?!'
After a whole night of partying, the birthday celebration for the old master was finally over. The handbag that Zhao Youlin had left behind at the Zhao family house was personally sent back to her on the second day, and it was done by two people she had least expected.

The sky was clear outside, and the sun was halfway up in the sky. It was almost noon.
After the struggles of the event last night, she still helped Joy to get cleaned up and changed his clothes before they went to sleep. Both mother and child were beyond exhausted, hence, even though they usually woke up early and sometimes went out for a morning jog together, today, they did not wake up even at this hour.
When Zhao Youlin woke up, sunlight was already creeping through the curtains of her bedroom, shining on her body that was lying on the big bed.
Zhao Youlin moved about, slowly opening her eyes while her hand reached out to block the sunlight shining on her face.
While sleepy, she felt movement on her waist, so she looked down, only to find her child curled to her side, clinging on to her waist tightly like a koala.
Feeling the slightly blinding sunlight, the child wriggled in discomfort while trying hard to hide in Zhao Youlin's arms, hoping to block out the annoying sun.
Zhao Youlin smiled and pulled down the blanket, revealing the round little head of her child. She reached out to bop his little nose and called out to him softly, "Hey little piggy, time to wake up."
Joy was still fast asleep, his cute little nose breathing in a steady pattern even with Zhao Youlin's finger poking it. It made him really resemble a nursing piglet.
Zhao Youlin laughed in amusement, having such an adorable little son really made her feel like she could face all difficulties. As expected, having adorable little children was a blessing.
"Hey, little piggy, if you don't wake up, Mommy will give all the yogurt I bought yesterday to Sparta." Zhao Youlin's poking finger turned to give the little nose a squeeze.
The child trashed around sluggishly due to the difficulties in breathing, and when he could finally breathe freely, a threat from above made him anxious.
Not bothering with his eyelids that were fighting to be opened, he felt his way up Zhao Youlin's body, clinging onto her neck and started to whine, "No no, I want to drink it, Sparta would have an upset tummy if it drank it."
Indeed, only food could attract the attention of foodies! Zhao Youlin was amused and while carrying Joy, she said, "Then, you should wash up quickly, or else Sparta would eat all of the delicious food here!"
"Mhm mhm," Joy subconsciously replied while groggily rubbing his eyes.
Zhao Youlin carried Joy to the bathroom, and after both mother and child had washed up, Zhao Youlin made some simple millet porridge while also placing a bottle of yogurt on the table.
Joy stared at the yogurt with wide eyes and gulped in difficulty. Looking at her child, Zhao Youlin was not sure whether she should laugh or cry, so she said, "You can only drink the yogurt when you've finished the porridge, or your little tummy will hurt. You can't eat muffins if you have an upset tummy. Do you want an upset tummy?"
Joy hurriedly shook his head when he heard that he could not eat the muffins.
"Then, be good and eat up," said Zhao Youlin while peeling a quail egg and dropping it in Joy's bowl.
Joy's eyes brightened and finally, he stopped staring at the bottle of yogurt.
While the two were enjoying their breakfast, a sudden ring of the doorbell startled Zhao Youlin. Almost immediately, her phone rang, so she answered, "Hello, who is this?"
After a moment, a familiar voice sounded from the other side of the phone. "Youlin, it's me."

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
