Chapter 576 - 619: I Only Smile for You
Since she wants to reunite with Uncle, why doesn’t she just go directly to him instead of doing so many things?Ye Anxin couldn’t figure out what Mo Xuehong was up to!
"Stop overthinking, and eat!" Mu Beiting glanced at Ye Anxin, gesturing towards the western meal in front of her!
"Oh!" Ye Anxin responded, understanding Mu Beiting didn’t want her to worry unnecessarily, she obediently lowered her head and started eating!
Mu Beiting only showed a slight change when Xiao Bai mentioned ’Mo Xuehong,’ then returned to eating as if nothing was wrong afterward!
While eating, Ye Anxin glanced at Mu Beiting discreetly!
The calmer Mu Beiting’s expression, the more worried Ye Anxin became! She feared Mo Xuehong would hurt Uncle again!
If she were a dutiful mother and hadn’t overheard the conversation between her and the old master, she wouldn’t be so worried!
It’s because Mo Xuehong returned not sincerely wanting to be by Uncle’s side, but with ulterior motives, that she is so concerned!
After a distracted lunch, Ye Anxin took Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai shopping for a while! Only when they had bought everything did they drive back home!
Once home, Xiao Bai went to his room to rest, while Ye Anxin returned to her room, collapsing on the bed, completely exhausted, unable to exert any energy!
Mu Beiting’s first action was to go to the restroom for a shower! He washed thoroughly, changed into clean home clothes, and filled the bathtub before carrying Ye Anxin there, personally bathing her and changing her into clean clothes.
Ye Anxin lazily stretched and said, "A bath makes me feel much more relaxed!"
Mu Beiting wrapped Ye Anxin in his arms, gently saying, "If you’re tired, take a nap! It’s still early, and I’ll wake you for dinner!"
Ye Anxin rolled over to lie on her side, draping her arm across Mu Beiting’s firm waist, lazily saying, "Alright, if I oversleep, wake me! Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!"
Mu Beiting moved his lips close to Ye Anxin’s ear, his deep and enticing voice slowly saying, "No worries, if you can’t sleep tonight, there are plenty of things we can do!"
The warm breath touched her ear, causing Ye Anxin’s face to blush instantly. She lightly hit his chest, playfully saying, "You’re incorrigible!"
"Haha!" Mu Beiting’s deep laughter sounded beside Ye Anxin’s ear.
This was the first time she saw Uncle with such a warm smile! She couldn’t believe how different he looked compared to before!
Ye Anxin squinted and said happily, "Uncle, you look great when you smile! You should smile more often in the future!"
"Sleep now!" Mu Beiting smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, snuggling into his embrace, and before falling asleep again reminded him: "Remember, you must smile more in the future, I love cheerful Uncle!"
Mu Beiting remained silent, holding Ye Anxin closer.
Only when he heard her even breathing did he softly whisper in her ear, "I’ll only smile for you!"
Ye Anxin, though half-asleep, seemed to hear his vow, murmured and shifted in his embrace!
Mu Beiting slightly released his grip, thinking she was uncomfortable with his embrace!
Indeed, Ye Anxin stopped moving and quietly fell back into sleep!
For as long as Ye Anxin slept, Mu Beiting held her, without leaving or sleeping, mulling over something with a lowered gaze.
She had no idea how long she slept as the sky gradually darkened.
Then, there came a soft knock on the door!
Mu Beiting frowned with displeasure, and before he could speak, Ye Anxin’s murmured voice came from his embrace, "Uncle, someone is knocking? Is it Xiao Bai?"
Mu Beiting frowned even tighter, his voice unkind as he said, "Come in!"
Upon his command, the door was gently pushed open, and Xiao Bai’s head popped in, "Dad, Mom, are you awake?"
Ye Anxin peeked her head out from Mu Beiting’s arms, rubbing her sleepy eyes, nodded, and said with a smile, "Awake, awake!" Then she struggled out from Mu Beiting’s embrace.
The empty embrace made Mu Beiting’s displeasure even more pronounced.
By now, Xiao Bai had already pushed the door open wide and stepped in, saying with a smile, "Mom, it’s time to come down for dinner!"
"So soon? What time is it?" she said, stretching and yawning lazily.
"It’s already six-thirty! You’ve slept for over three hours!" Saying this, he feared Ye Anxin wouldn’t believe him, so he raised his hand, showing his watch to Ye Anxin.
Ye Anxin glanced down, rubbed her messy hair, "It’s already six-thirty! Time to get up!" she said, preparing to get out of bed.
"Careful!" Mu Beiting hurriedly reached out, supporting the pregnant Ye Anxin from getting out of bed.
"Alright, I’ll go wash up!" Ye Anxin waved her hand, pulling away from Mu Beiting’s support, and groggily walked to the restroom.
After Ye Anxin entered the room, Mu Beiting slammed a hand on Xiao Bai’s head, scolding, "Never disturb your mom’s rest again!"
Xiao Bai clutched his aching head, pouting, "It was already six-thirty, how was I supposed to know Mom wasn’t awake! She’s such a lazy pig!"
Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow and retorted, "If your mom is a lazy pig, then what are you?"
"...!" Xiao Bai was speechless, his eyes widened as he stared at Mu Beiting.
Mu Beiting sternly warned, "If you disturb your mom’s rest again, you’ll regret it!"
"Understood!" Xiao Bai pouted, lowering his head, feeling wronged but afraid to speak.
Since Mom came back, he felt like Dad no longer liked him, always competing with him for Mom, siding with Mom in everything!
Aww...! He felt wronged and upset inside!
Children always seek to be the most important in their parents’ hearts! Even though he frequently competes with Dad for Mom’s affection, he still wants to be the most important in Dad’s eyes!
But now, it’s clear he’s no longer the most important person in Dad’s heart!
Mu Beiting seemed unaware of Xiao Bai’s sadness, said indifferently, "Go downstairs first! Your mom and I will be down shortly!"
"Okay!" Xiao Bai nodded, turned around, and left the room with a lowered head.
After Xiao Bai left, Mu Beiting stayed seated on the bed, waiting for Ye Anxin to freshen up, and once they were both ready, he took her hand and walked downstairs.
As soon as they came downstairs, a servant rushed in from outside, upon seeing Mu Beiting, lowered her head and breathlessly said, "Sir, there’s a woman outside making a fuss, wanting to come in to see you!"
