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

Chapter 873: Chapter 916: Excuse

Especially towards little Chu Yi, that kind of affection comes from the heart! It seems like liking little Chu Yi is just natural; she should like her.

Standing outside the door now, she even feels a bit of regret. Why did she come back? She should have stayed! Stayed by Mu Beiting and little Chu Yi’s side!

This thought had just surfaced in her mind, and Ye Anxin was startled by her own feelings!

A stranger she had just met once actually made her feel this intensely! Could it be that everything they said before was true!

She is actually named Ye Anxin, not Ye Xiaoman! The identity of Ye Xiaoman was forcibly imposed on her by Mu Rufeng?

Ye Anxin was very conflicted, more conflicted than ever! She didn’t know what to do, whether her hand should knock on the door or not!

Just as she was hesitating with her hand raised, the elevator door behind her opened once more. Mu Rufeng and Mu’s mother walked out of the elevator, with Mu Rufeng lowering his head, looking anxious, while Mu’s mother immediately spotted Ye Anxin standing at the door with her hand raised.

Seeing Ye Anxin, Mu’s mother’s anger surged, and she pulled Mu Rufeng to stride over angrily, saying, ”Look, isn’t that her? Didn’t she come back on her own? I told you not to worry, didn’t I? She’s a grown-up and won’t get lost!”

Mu’s mother’s voice instantly caught the attention of both Mu Rufeng and Ye Anxin!

Mu Rufeng raised his head, immediately seeing Ye Anxin standing at the door! Upon hearing Mu’s mother’s voice, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but turn around too.

Unprepared, Mu Rufeng and Ye Anxin’s eyes met directly!

Ye Anxin hadn’t yet had time to react, and Mu Rufeng had already pulled her into his arms, ”Xiaoman, you’re finally back! I couldn’t see you at the mall entrance just now, and I thought something happened to you! Didn’t I tell you not to wander around? Where did you go? Why didn’t you call me? Do you know, you almost scared me to death?”

Being tightly embraced by Mu Rufeng, surrounded by his scent, instead of feeling any affection, Ye Anxin felt an intense sense of rejection from deep within!

And this feeling was in stark contrast to how she felt when she was with Mu Beiting!

Slowly, her heart tilted bit by bit more towards Mu Beiting’s side!

She felt that everything could lie, except feelings couldn’t! Whether you like someone or not, your heart knows the answer!

If she truly were Mu Rufeng’s wife, then why was she so reluctant and rejecting towards him? So, at this moment, she preferred to believe she was actually named Ye Anxin, not Ye Xiaoman.

Seeing Ye Anxin not speaking, Mu Rufeng let her go, cupped her small face with both hands, and asked with concern, ”Xiaoman, what’s wrong? Why are you silent? Did something happen just now that scared you?”

Ye Anxin shook her head, forced a smile, and explained, ”No! My bag was snatched just now! When you chased the thief, I saw an ice cream vendor not far away, I wanted to buy ice cream to eat while waiting for you! But when I got to the vendor, I remembered I didn’t have any money! So, when I returned to that spot, I couldn’t find you!”

Upon hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu’s mother was instantly furious, her voice shrill and sarcastic, ”My son went to chase a thief, and you still had the heart to buy ice cream and eat while waiting! Is this how a wife should act? You made my son worried sick all day! My son and I searched for you till now, and if it weren’t for me, Rufeng wouldn’t have come back, he’d still be looking for you outside!”

”I...! I...!” Ye Anxin never expected the random excuse she made up would be used against her by Mu’s mother, leaving her at a loss for words.

Mu Rufeng quickly shot a glance at Mu’s mother, ”Mom, that’s enough. Xiaoman is already back, so stop blaming her. As long as she’s safe, I’m relieved!”

”Fine, fine, always defending your wife, I won’t care about anything then, alright!” With that, she took out the keys, opened the door, and forcefully pushed Ye Anxin and Mu Rufeng aside, storming in angrily!

At this moment, Mu Rufeng’s eyes and heart were solely filled with Ye Anxin, completely unconcerned about his mother’s health, he gently asked, ”Then why didn’t you call me? You know my phone number, right?”

Ye Anxin blinked her innocent eyes, looking pitifully, ”I do! But, but I had no money...! I didn’t even have the bus fare, so I walked all the way back!”

”Walking all the way back, you must be tired! Come in and rest a bit!” Saying this, he took Ye Anxin’s hand, leading her inside.

After entering, Mu Rufeng sat Ye Anxin down on the sofa, serving her tea, water, and even changing her shoes, doing everything but kneeling down to give her a massage!

Watching her son, whom she pampered like a treasure, treating another woman like royalty, yet never treating her this way, Mu’s mother was furious, her old face red with anger, her chest heaving violently, her sharp eyes glaring intently as if trying to pierce a hole through her.

Feeling uncomfortable under Mu’s mother’s gaze, yet Mu Rufeng seemed oblivious, continuing to busily attend, Ye Anxin quickly grabbed Mu Rufeng, softly saying, ”Rufeng, you searched for me the whole afternoon, you must be tired too, take a break! I’m fine!”

Mu Rufeng didn’t seem to catch the intent behind Ye Anxin’s words, and asked on his own, ”Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?”

As soon as Mu Rufeng said this, Ye Anxin could feel Mu’s mother’s gaze becoming even sharper! She swore if looks could kill, she’d already be dead under Mu’s mother’s sharp glare right now.

Although feeling uncomfortable under Mu’s mother’s gaze, Ye Anxin had to pretend to be clueless, forced a smile, and braced herself to say, ”Not hungry! Just sit and rest, I’m really okay!”

”Oh! Okay!” Hearing Ye Anxin say this, Mu Rufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to her.

Ye Anxin lowered her head, filled with guilt, ”Rufeng, I’m sorry for making you worry earlier! I didn’t mean to! I just felt extremely thirsty and wanted something cool! I didn’t expect to miss you!”

Mu Rufeng quickly smiled and said, ”It’s okay, it’s okay! It’s my fault, I couldn’t protect you! Now that you’re okay and back, I’m relieved!”

”Mm!” Ye Anxin nodded, rubbing her temples with her hand, softly saying, ”I feel a bit dizzy, I’d like to rest awhile!”
