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

Chapter 524: Chapter 567: One Husband, Two Wives?

Seeing them, who clearly aren’t mother and daughter, yet their bond surpasses that of mother and daughter, Ye Anxin feels deeply moved! Truly moved!

Ye’s mother wipes her tears and chokes up, ”Anxin, let it go! Let’s just let this matter be! Spare them! In the end, I was wrong too! If I hadn’t taken her husband back then, she wouldn’t have acted so crazily! Things have reached this point, and she’s gotten the punishment she deserved. Let’s just not dwell on this!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin turns to Mu Beiting, ”Uncle, let them go! After all, Nan Mingchuan is my biological father, and the Nan Family is his life’s work! Moreover, my mother and I owe Xue Rong a debt! For the sake of Jianning saving Yueyue, saving me, and even being willing to sacrifice her life for Xue Rong, let’s let her go this time! I believe that after what happened today, she will certainly change her ways and won’t do anything harmful again!”

Those present have reddened eyes, moved by Nan Jinning’s heroic actions, all deeply sighing, except for Mu Beiting. He remains seated on the couch, elegantly crossing his legs, his expression unchanged, as if none of this relates to him.

Seeing Mu Beiting merely staring sharply at Xue Rong, who clings to Nan Jinning and cries sorrowfully, Ye Anxin can’t help but call out again, ”Uncle...!”

After a long pause, Mu Beiting slightly parts his thin lips and slowly says, ”It’s all up to you.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin’s eyes instantly light up, exclaiming excitedly, ”Really?”

”Hmm!” Mu Beiting nods, his expression still composed, unwavering.

Ye Anxin happily kisses Mu Beiting on the face, then turns to Nan Mingchuan and says, ”Since she’s your wife, let her handle this herself! This time, I’m letting it go for Nan Jinning’s sake! I hope there won’t be a next time! Otherwise... even if Nan Jinning really dies, I won’t let her go!”

Hearing that Mu Beiting is finally willing to spare Xue Rong and the Nan Family, Nan Mingchuan eagerly nods and promises, ”Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll watch over her, definitely won’t let her harm you and your mother again!”

”Then let’s leave it at that! We’re heading back!” Ye Anxin nods with satisfaction, takes Mu Beiting’s arm, stands up, and heads towards the door without looking back.

Ye’s mother subtly glances at Nan Mingchuan, bows her head, and follows Ye Anxin out.

Just as they reach the door, Nan Mingchuan’s urgent voice rings out behind them, ”Wait...!”

Ye Anxin and Ye’s mother stop simultaneously! Mu Beiting halts as well since Ye Anxin has stopped.

The three don’t turn around, and Nan Mingchuan walks up to Ye Anxin, stammering, ”Anxin, I... I...!”

Ye Anxin says plainly, ”Whatever you have to say, just say it!”

Nan Mingchuan hesitates for a moment, but finally can’t help but say, ”Anxin, no matter what, you’re my daughter! Twenty-six years ago, it was my mistake, I couldn’t protect you and your mother! But these past twenty-six years, I’ve truly longed to find you both every moment! My feelings for you and your mother are real! I want... I want you to return to the Nan Family and acknowledge your ancestry, is that possible?”

Ye Anxin turns to glance at Xue Rong and the already unconscious Nan Jinning, shakes her head lightly, and sighs, ”I know, your blood flows within me! But I don’t wish my appearance to disrupt your tranquil life! What does acknowledging ancestry mean? We’ve been apart for twenty-six years; apart from blood ties, there’s no real relationship! Sister Jiansi is already dead, but don’t you have another daughter now! Though she’s not biologically yours, her feelings for you are genuine and true! She was willing to risk her life for you! I think she’s indeed a good daughter! You should treat her well!”

Upon hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Nan Mingchuan falls into a conflict, ”But...!”

But, from beginning to end, he never considered handing everything of the Nan Family to Nan Jinning! First, because she’s not his biological child, second, because his relationship with his brother wasn’t good; they had been at odds over assets to a life-and-death level! Giving everything he worked hard for to his brother’s daughter would render his early struggles futile! Third, ultimately, he still has selfish motives, wanting to give his hard-earned family business to his biological daughter! Especially since Ye Anxin married Mu Beiting, with Mu Beiting’s behind-the-scenes guidance and strategy, the Nan Family would certainly flourish!

”No ’but’ about it! Previously, I thought Nan Jinning’s character was unsuitable to shoulder the Nan Family’s responsibility! But, not having seen her for five years, I’ve had a significant change in perspective! I believe handing the Nan Family to her is most suitable, more so than giving it to me!” With that, she loops her arm through Mu Beiting’s, ready to leave.

Yet again, Nan Mingchuan calls out, ”Anxin...!”

Ye Anxin stops once more.

Nan Mingchuan, with his head lowered, says embarrassingly, ”Anxin, since you refuse the Nan Family, I won’t force you! But my feelings for your mother are real! Can I keep her by my side?”

At these words, before Ye Anxin can respond, Ye’s mother immediately refuses, ”No way! I’ve already harmed your marriage to this extent; I can’t destroy your relationship further! Sister was right; in the end, I’m just a mistress, the one who broke up your family! If I stay, what do I count as? What does sister count as? A husband with two wives?”

Though she loves him too, all these years, she hasn’t forgotten him!

But a mistress is still a mistress! She knows Nan Mingchuan would never abandon Xue Rong, and she could only be a mistress forever hidden in the shadows!

Even taking a step back, if Nan Mingchuan and Xue Rong actually divorce and she takes a legitimate position, she’d still be a mistress, criticized by others! She also feels she owes Xue Rong!

After all, meeting Nan Mingchuan was all arranged by Xue Rong! Xue Rong is her benefactor, yet she tried to steal her benefactor’s husband! Isn’t that ingratitude!

Today, Xue Rong’s actions of harming Anxin and wanting to hurt herself in retaliation are all for the sake of defending her interests! In the future, she might do the same! She can’t let Anxin fall into danger!

Moreover, if Nan Mingchuan truly divorces Xue Rong, it would be abandoning someone he shared hardships with! Such a man isn’t worthy of her love!

So, for now, the only solution is to maintain the status quo!

She can live her peaceful life, and Nan Mingchuan and Xue Rong can continue their life! They won’t interact even until old age!
