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

Chapter 568: Chapter 611: Is It Just a Coincidence?

”I...!” Mu Huajian began to explain, but Ye Anxin didn’t give him the chance, continuing, ”If you could keep Mu Rufeng and her son in check and stop them from hurting Uncle, maybe I could plead for them and have Uncle let them return! But you simply can’t control them! If you could, the events from four years ago wouldn’t have happened!”

Mu Huajian’s face flushed deep red at what Ye Anxin said, and he was utterly ashamed.

Seeing Mu Huajian like this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but feel some regret for her earlier hard stance, her voice unconsciously softened, ”I know it took a lot for you to come to me today, that you had to muster a lot of courage! But before you spoke, you must have already anticipated this outcome! Just like last time when the three of you were thrown in jail, I was equally powerless! I admit, I’m selfish; I don’t care about anything but Uncle’s safety and him not being hurt again!”

Mu Huajian hung his head, unable to speak for a long time.

Ye Anxin sighed, her voice softening even more, ”Sir, I’m sorry. I know what I said today must have been hard for you to hear! But... everything I said is the truth! You understand Uncle’s character better than I do. Maybe he’d let them come back thanks to my pleading today! But if they ever hurt Uncle again, by then, Uncle might not just force them out of Jin City, but root them out entirely! Do you really want to see that happen? Although they are suffering outside now, at least they are alive, living without being oppressed by Uncle! You might even secretly help them, give them money sometimes! Isn’t living like that better than being comfortable back in Jin City?”

Upon hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu Huajian sighed deeply, filled with helplessness, ”Anxin, I really underestimated you before! You think further ahead than I do! You’re right, with Rufeng and his mother’s temperament, they would never let things go, who knows what they might do then! By that time, Beiting’s patience with them would have reached its limit, and it might indeed come to eradication. That would be truly harmful to them!”

”I’m glad you understand! And thank you for understanding my difficulties!” Regardless, Ye Anxin felt resentment towards Mu Huajian for being cold-hearted to Mu Beiting! But in the end, he’s still Uncle’s biological father!

As before, no matter what outrageous things her father did, she couldn’t disregard him, remain indifferent! She still had to show him respect as an elder!

Mu Huajian said hoarsely, ”Actually, I anticipated this result long ago! It’s their own fault for being discontent and repeatedly testing Beiting’s limits, and now they’re getting what they deserve!”

Ye Anxin chuckled bitterly, self-mocking, ”If you had thought this way earlier, we wouldn’t be sitting here today, and my attitude wouldn’t have been so intense!”

Mu Huajian said sincerely, ”Anxin, the truth is, I didn’t come to you today just to plead for Rufeng and her son, I genuinely hope you and Beiting can be happy! I was afraid there might still be misunderstandings between you two, and wanted to tell you everything about Beiting’s past! Because I owe Beiting too much, and can never repay him in this lifetime! I know I don’t have the right to ask you for anything, but I really hope you can bring him warmth, to make up for the familial love and warmth he has lacked over the years!”

Ye Anxin squinted and smiled, solemnly promised, ”Don’t worry, I will! Even if you didn’t say, I would still give Uncle warmth!”

”Thank you!” Seeing the warmth-filled smile on Ye Anxin’s face, his previously clouded mood seemed to brighten considerably!

And he finally understood why Mu Beiting would choose such an unremarkable Ye Anxin! Precisely because of her smile, her inherent warmth! And this warmth is exactly what Mu Beiting has longed for and needed! Because of this warmth, Mu Beiting was drawn to her and gradually became entranced, unable to extricate himself.

”Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom!” Saying this, Ye Anxin covered her face, embarrassed, stood up, opened the box door, and headed to the restroom.

In her haste, she hadn’t noticed that the box door wasn’t completely closed, leaving a large gap.

In the restroom, Ye Anxin finished using the toilet and was washing her hands at the sink.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her, ”Big sister, what a coincidence, running into you here!”

Ye Anxin looked up, seeing in the mirror a familiar figure standing behind her!

This figure was none other than Qin Muyao, whom she had met twice before!

Her face was still pale without any color, but even so, she couldn’t hide the bright radiance on her face.

Ye Anxin turned off the tap, turned around, and looked at Qin Muyao in surprise, ”Miss Qin, what a coincidence, running into you here!”

Qin Muyao smiled and said, ”Yes! I didn’t expect to run into you here! When I first arrived, I saw you from a distance at the door, I thought I might have been mistaken! But it really is you! We must be fated, to meet like this!”

Ye Anxin smiled awkwardly, ”Being pregnant, I’ve put on some weight, so it’s normal you didn’t recognize me at first!”

Qin Muhua nodded, ”Yes! You’ve gained a bit! But I think you look just right now; you were too skinny before, all bones, no flesh at all! Look at you now, with a bit more flesh, you look much more radiant!”

”Hehe!” Uncle always comforted her like this before; it made her heart feel sweet and wonderful! But hearing it from a woman made her feel strange!

”Someone’s waiting for me, I should get going!” Ye Anxin waved at Qin Muyao and turned to leave.

”Big sister, I’ll walk with you!” Saying this, intimately linking arms with Ye Anxin, they left the restroom together.

Ye Anxin looked down at their tightly linked arms, feeling strange in her heart!

She and her, weren’t that close, were they? Was she too forward, or was Anxin too reserved?

After leaving the restroom, standing at the corridor’s fork, Ye Anxin pointed to the left corridor, and said with a smile, ”I’m going that way!”

Seeing her point, Qin Muyao excitedly said, ”Oh, what a coincidence, my box is in that direction too! Let’s return together!”

”Hehe!” Ye Anxin smiled sheepishly, linking arms as they both walked to the left.

She initially thought they would part ways after leaving the restroom, but unexpectedly, their boxes were in the same direction; what else could she say! They had to walk together!
