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

Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Severed Bonds?

Mu Beiting reached out to wipe the sweat from Ye Anxin’s forehead and said warmly, ”Are you tired? Take a break!”

”Mm!” Ye Anxin nodded and found a stool in the maternity store to sit down!

Now sporting a big belly, standing for even a short while made her feel tired! More importantly, the mall’s air conditioning was set to a constant temperature, which felt just right to most people, but for a pregnant woman like her, it was a bit too warm! So, she was starting to sweat. Standing for a long time made her feel both tired and hot!

Ye Anxin rested for quite a while, using a small portable fan to fan herself, which made her feel much better!

Mu Beiting took the small fan from Ye Anxin’s hand and fanned her while asking, ”Are you hungry? Should we get something to eat?”

Ye Anxin rubbed her belly. She hadn’t felt hungry earlier, but after Mu Beiting mentioned it, she suddenly felt quite famished and nodded, saying, ”I do feel a bit hungry! Let’s go eat something! I want Western food!”

”Mm! Let’s go!” Mu Beiting nodded, bending down to lift Ye Anxin from the stool!

Ye Anxin was startled and quickly wrapped her arms around Mu Beiting’s neck. ”Uncle, put me down. I can walk by myself! There are a lot of people in the mall, it’ll be embarrassing if others see us!”

Mu Beiting replied without a change in expression, ”You’re tired, and you’re pregnant. Be good!”

”Uh...!” Ye Anxin pouted, wanting to protest, but in the end, said nothing!

Mu Beiting carried Ye Anxin to the elevator, heading straight to the restaurant on the top floor!

In places like malls, the elevators are typically glass, offering a clear view of the scenery both inside and outside the mall!

So, nestled in Mu Beiting’s arms, Ye Anxin also settled comfortably against his chest, gazing at the view outside the elevator!

Due to the mall being crowded, the elevator stopped at almost every floor!

Feeling everyone’s gazes, Ye Anxin blushed and felt shy at first!

But as more people came in, she gradually got used to it!

With a ’ding’ sound, the elevator stopped again!

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Li Lin, who had been waiting outside, didn’t even look as she walked straight in!

It wasn’t until she entered the elevator that she realized Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin were inside too!

The moment Li Lin saw Ye Anxin, Ye Anxin noticed her too, and her cheeks flushed red as she shyly called out, ”Ms. Li!”

Hearing the address, Li Lin’s hand at her side couldn’t help but clench into a fist!

”Uncle, put me down quickly!” Feeling Li Lin’s gaze, Ye Anxin’s little face turned even redder, and she fidgeted in Mu Beiting’s arms!

Being so close with Uncle, she was fine in front of strangers!

But in front of someone she knew, she felt really embarrassed!

Especially since this person was once her teacher!

Under such a gaze, she felt strange, like a child who had done something wrong!

Mu Beiting said nothing but still didn’t let go!

Watching them flirt openly in front of her, Li Lin’s face became even more displeased!

Then, Li Lin’s gaze fell on Ye Anxin’s swollen belly!

Seeing Ye Anxin’s big belly made the gloom in her eyes vanish instantly, replaced by a trace of pride and excitement!

Pregnant again? Pregnant with Mu Beiting’s child again?

The previous child hadn’t been gone long, and she’s pregnant again?

Look at how much Mu Beiting treasures her now, as if she’s the most precious thing in the world!

Ye Anxin should be in the happiest and most joyful time of her life, right?

If, at this moment, she knew that Mu Beiting once sheltered the person who caused the death of the child in her womb, she’d be heartbroken and certainly break ties with Mu Beiting, right?

Ha...!

Thinking of this, the earlier gloom in Li Lin’s heart disappeared, and she suddenly felt very, very good!

Ye Anxin looked at Li Lin’s ever-changing expression, full of confusion in her eyes!

Ye Anxin thought for a moment and tried to find a topic, ”Ms. Li, shouldn’t you be at work now?”

Li Lin smiled, changing from her earlier sharp and mean demeanor, and responded warmly, ”I just switched shifts with a colleague, so I’m here to grab something to eat!”

Ye Anxin nodded and politely extended an invitation, ”Oh, oh! Uncle and I are just about to eat too, would you like to join us?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s expression changed instantly!

Seeing Mu Beiting’s expression, Li Lin smiled indifferently, ”No need! Someone like me, eating with someone as prestigious as Mu Beiting, I would feel restless, unable to eat! I’ll just grab something casually! You two go ahead and eat!”

Ye Anxin glanced up at Mu Beiting’s gloomy face and then didn’t insist!

After all, not everyone is used to dining with Uncle!

Uncle’s presence is too strong, too intimidating for the average person to handle!

While they were talking, the elevator stopped at the top floor, and as Li Lin stepped out, she said meaningfully, ”Anxin, goodbye!”

”Uh...! Goodbye!” Ye Anxin blinked, watching Li Lin exit the elevator and disappear around the corner!

For some reason, she felt like Li Lin’s words were loaded!

Goodbye...?

Is there really a need for them to meet again? Or was it just a polite remark?

Ye Anxin shook her head, not bothering to think much about it, as Mu Beiting carried her out of the elevator into the most famous Western restaurant there!

After finishing the meal, Ye Anxin felt much recovered and no longer let Mu Beiting carry her, they walked hand in hand out of the mall, and got into their family car to leave!

This unexpected encounter left no mark in Ye Anxin’s heart and was almost forgotten in an instant!

In the following days, Ye Anxin lay at home resting, only strolling in her own garden when she went for walks!

A few more days passed, and it was soon Mu Huajian’s birthday!

Ye Anxin got up early to call Mu Huajian and wished him a happy birthday! She also conveyed greetings from Mu Beiting!

After hanging up, Ye Anxin nestled on the bed reading as usual!

At that moment, the door opened, and Ye Anxin looked up, seeing it was Mu Beiting, she didn’t mind and continued reading!

Mu Beiting opened the wardrobe, took out a set of clothes, and changed into them.

Hearing the noise, Ye Anxin looked up again and curiously asked, ”Uncle, where are you going? To the office?”

Mu Beiting took out an outfit for Ye Anxin from the wardrobe and handed it to her, ”Change your clothes, we’re going out!”

”Oh!” Ye Anxin obediently took the clothes and changed into them!

She only assumed Uncle was going to the office and that she was simply going along as usual, without thinking much about it!

Until...
