Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Just Friends

As those words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence.

Yan Qinghan and Xiang Qingshi held their breath, staring at Mu Beiting without blinking. Gu Xingchen squinted her eyes slightly, the smile on her lips still present, but it seemed more and more forced.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for Mu Beiting’s reaction!

Mu Beiting’s gaze swept across Gu Xingchen’s face, then he took Ye Anxin’s hand and left without looking back.

Ye Anxin was dazed as Mu Beiting led her forward, her clear eyes blinking as she looked at Mu Beiting’s upright back.

What’s wrong with Uncle? Is he angry?

Why angry?

Weren’t things fine just now?

Though filled with doubts, Ye Anxin did not voice them.

She knew that even if she asked, if Uncle didn’t want to talk, it would be pointless to ask! So, she simply chose not to ask.

Mu Beiting led Ye Anxin out of the church, coming face to face with Mother Ye, who was approaching.

Ye Anxin asked in confusion, ”Mom, why are you here so early? Where’s Dad?”

Mother Ye stopped in front of Ye Anxin and said, ”I didn’t let your dad come! I told him to stay home and watch the house!”

”Why didn’t you let Dad come?” Ye Anxin asked, puzzled.

Ling Yueyue grew up with her, and her parents watched her grow up too, so they had long developed a deep bond!

Today, her parents attended as part of the bride’s family and friends.

”No reason! Aren’t you the bridesmaid? Go keep Yueyue company, why are you standing here?” Mother Ye didn’t want to answer and changed the topic.

Actually, the reason she didn’t let Father Ye come was for fear he might say something offensive without thinking.

When he learned that Yueyue and Huo Junmo were getting married, Father Ye couldn’t handle the shock and kept yelling at home every day that Yueyue had stolen Anxin’s boyfriend!

In his heart, he still fantasized about Anxin marrying Huo Junmo and becoming Huo Junmo’s father-in-law!

Now, all his dreams had come crashing down, how could he accept it.

So, to prevent any trouble today, she kept him at home and didn’t let him come.

Awakened by Mother Ye’s words, Ye Anxin couldn’t bother with a lot, ushered Mother Ye into the church, said goodbye to Mu Beiting, and ran toward the dressing room at the back of the church.

With Ye Anxin gone, Mu Beiting turned around and walked toward the other side of the church.

Before he had taken two steps, a familiar gentle voice sounded from behind, ”Beiting...!”

Mu Beiting ignored it and continued to walk forward.

Ruan Zhitong jogged up to Mu Beiting, stretched out her arms to block his way.

Mu Beiting’s expression remained unchanged, his thin lips slightly opening as he coldly spat out two words, ”Get lost!”

Ruan Zhitong urgently said, ”Beiting, don’t you want to know why I’m marrying Xingchen?”

Mu Beiting didn’t think at all before answering directly, ”No!”

”But I want to tell you!” Saying that, she continued slowly regardless of Mu Beiting’s response, ”Beiting, even though we’re not together, can’t we even be friends? I know you love Miss Ye now; it’s impossible for us anymore! So, three days ago, when Xingchen proposed to me, I agreed without hesitation! I know Xingchen truly loves me; he’s loved me for six years and has always been looking for me! Ever since I returned, he’s been by my side! He’s just so good to me, so good that I can’t bear to hurt him anymore! Isn’t it good that I’m marrying him? It fulfills both you and Xingchen’s long-cherished wish!” With that, Ruan Zhitong’s eyes dimmed, a hint of bitterness appearing at the corners of her mouth.

”It has nothing to do with me!” Mu Beiting looked straight ahead, not even glancing at her,

Disregarding his indifference, Ruan Zhitong pursed her lips into a smile, continuing, ”Beiting, the reason I’m telling you this is to let you know that I’ve given up on you, let go! Although we can’t be husband and wife, I hope we can be friends, just ordinary friends! Is that okay?”

Hearing this, Mu Beiting’s cold eyes swept across her expectant face, thin lips forming a tight line, without answering her, he directly walked past her without looking back.

Watching his resolute departing figure, Ruan Zhitong bit her lower lip, standing there in a daze for a long time without leaving.

On the other side, when Ye Anxin arrived at the dressing room, Ling Yueyue was already made up, sitting in front of the mirror checking.

Ye Anxin went over to Ling Yueyue’s side, and seeing Ling Yueyue all made up, she couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Yueyue, you look so beautiful!”

Ling Yueyue lifted her chin, saying as a matter of course, ”Of course, today is the happiest day of my life, I must look beautiful!”

Ye Anxin rolled her eyes at her, her gaze shifting down from Yueyue’s chin. Seeing Ling Yueyue’s bare neck, she asked, ”Yueyue, where’s your necklace? It looks like something is missing on your bare neck!”

Ling Yueyue took a diamond necklace out of the makeup table drawer and handed it to Ye Anxin, ”Put it on for me!”

”Okay!” Ye Anxin took the necklace and was about to put it on Ling Yueyue.

The door to the makeup room was pushed open by someone.

Huo Junmo’s secretary walked in from outside, holding a delicate square box in his hand.

”Madam, the CEO asked me to bring this!” With that, the secretary handed the box to Ling Yueyue.

”Thank you!” Ling Yueyue reached out to take it and opened it.

Inside, there was a four-piece set of jewelry!

A diamond necklace, a pair of diamond earrings, a pair of diamond bracelets, and a diamond headpiece.

The four-piece set was clearly a series, be it the design, craftsmanship, or purity, it was simply perfect to the extreme.

Under the dim light, it radiated a soft glow.

Looking at the items in the box, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Oh my, how beautiful!”

Ling Yueyue looked at the items in the box, taking a long time to register, ”These... are all for me?”

The secretary nodded, ”Yes! The CEO personally asked me to bring this over as a gift for Madam!”

Ye Anxin laughed and said, ”Yueyue, it seems Mr. Huo truly treats you well! This four-piece set perfectly matches your wedding dress and hairstyle today!”

”Thank him for me!” Ling Yueyue’s eyes reddened, her heart feeling indescribable.

”I’ll head down first!” The secretary nodded respectfully at Ling Yueyue and turned to leave.

Ling Yueyue placed the jewelry box on the table, her eyes red and her nose tingling, feeling a warmth in her heart.

”Come, let me put them on for you!” With that, Ye Anxin carefully removed the original headpiece from Ling Yueyue’s head and replaced it with the series sent by Huo Junmo.

Once all the jewelry was put on, Ye Anxin gave her a thorough look over, unable to resist praising, ”Having so many things really makes a difference, it truly is high-end, elegant and luxurious! Once you put on this set of jewelry, your entire temperament changes completely!”

Ling Yueyue looked at herself in the mirror, touching the bracelet on her hand, an unconscious smile of happiness curled her lips.

Time quietly slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, the auspicious time arrived.

Ling Yueyue, accompanied by Ye Anxin, holding a bouquet, arm in arm with Ling’s father, walked step by step into the church and personally handed over to Huo Junmo.

Standing beside Ling Yueyue, Ye Anxin was slightly stunned upon seeing the person beside Huo Junmo.

By Huo Junmo’s side, instead of Yan Qinghan, it was Mu Beiting standing there.
