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

Chapter 898: Chapter 941: Embarrassment

Humiliating, humiliating, this is just way too humiliating!

A second ago he’d been swaggering in front of his mom, bragging about how much his little sister stuck to him! And the next second, once his sister had her mom, she wouldn’t even spare him a glance!

This was humiliation to the max! If he could, he really wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it and never see anyone again.

Noticing Xiao Bai’s embarrassment, Ye Anxin hurriedly smiled and asked the little Chu Yi in her arms, ”Chu Yi, what’s wrong? Why don’t you want your brother anymore?”

Chu Yi acted like she didn’t hear her at all, still giggling away, so happy she could burst.

Mu Beiting, who’d been standing quietly to the side, sighed to himself, walked over to Xiao Bai, ruffled his hair, and comforted, ”Xiao Bai, Mom just came back. Of course your sister’s going to cling to her. Don’t worry, once this phase passes, she’ll want you again!”

Even though Mu Beiting said that, Xiao Bai still felt his pride was shattered. He turned his head away with a cold snort and said arrogantly, ”If she wants me, I won’t want her! Hmph! I’m going upstairs to take a shower, then sleep. I’m not paying attention to her!” With that, he puffed out his cheeks and stomped upstairs in a huff!

Watching Xiao Bai’s proud little back, Ye Anxin could only shake her head helplessly. She looked at the servant beside her and asked with concern, ”How are the people who were poisoned during the day? Are they all right?”

The servant shook her head and answered with a smile, ”Madam, please don’t worry, they’re all fine now! It’s just that their bodies are still a bit weak, so they need to stay in bed and rest for a while! They should be able to get up and work again tomorrow!”

Hearing that they were all right, Ye Anxin finally let out a breath of relief. ”No rush on work! Tell them to just rest. It won’t be too late to start working again after they’ve fully recovered! And for these two days of rest, their wages won’t be docked! Tell them they can relax!”

As expected, someone like Ruan Zhitong would absolutely never resort to poisoning people to death in a way that left legal evidence! People like that are almost too smart—if they’re good it’s fine, but if their intentions are crooked, then it’s terrifying!

Seeing how considerate Ye Anxin was toward the servants, the servant kept thanking her nonstop.

Ye Anxin waved her hand and said with a smile, ”All right, once you’re done here, you go rest too! You’ve been scared and on edge all day, you must be exhausted!”

”Got it, Madam!” The servant nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting. ”Uncle, let’s go upstairs too! Once we bathe Chu Yi, it’ll be time to coax her to sleep!”

Mu Beiting didn’t move. He raised his brows, displeased. ”What did you just call me?”

”...! Uh...!” Ye Anxin froze for a second, her pretty face flushing red, and said awkwardly, ”Husband!”

Ever since she woke up last time, she’d habitually gone back to using her old way of addressing him! Calling him ”Uncle” just felt more natural on her tongue!

But while it felt natural to her, it clearly didn’t make a certain someone very happy!

”Mm.” Mu Beiting nodded, satisfied, slipped an arm around Ye Anxin’s shoulders, and led her upstairs.

Once upstairs, the two of them bathed Chu Yi together, then coaxed her to sleep.

Maybe because she was afraid Ye Anxin would leave her again, Chu Yi’s tiny hand clutched Ye Anxin’s clothes the whole time, refusing to let go—even after she fell asleep.

Sitting on the bed, Ye Anxin tried to pry open Chu Yi’s little hand on her clothes, but after a few attempts, she still couldn’t manage it. If she used more force she was afraid she’d hurt her, so she had no choice but to give up. ”Husband, how about we just let Chu Yi sleep with us tonight? The little one seems to really lack a sense of security because I haven’t been by her side these past days.”

Mu Beiting glanced at Chu Yi in Ye Anxin’s arms, clearly not thrilled. ”With her sleeping here, it’s not convenient to get things done.”

Ye Anxin blinked, not catching his meaning for the moment, and asked blankly, ”Get things done? What do you need to do?”

Mu Beiting said, perfectly calm, ”Do the things that should be done between a husband and wife.”

”...!” Ye Anxin finally understood what he’d meant earlier, and her face instantly grew hot. ”What are you talking about! Right now we should prioritize Xiaobai and Chu Yi’s issues!”

Speaking of that, Ye Anxin suddenly remembered the lab report and asked nervously, ”Right, what’s the result of Xiao Bai’s lab report? Was what Ruan Zhitong said true or not? Hurry up and take the report out and let me see!”

Mu Beiting said nothing, stood up, took the lab report he’d put in his clothes pocket earlier, and handed it to Ye Anxin.

Ye Anxin unfolded the report and lowered her eyes to read...!

......

The next morning, after Ye Anxin finished breakfast and saw Xiao Bai off at the door, she was just about to go back inside when she saw a taxi stop at the gate. Her mother rushed out of it in a panic. Seeing Ye Anxin standing at the door, she hurried over, grabbed her arm, and said anxiously, ”Anxin, your dad is missing! He didn’t come back at all last night, and I couldn’t get through to his phone either. What should we do? Could something have happened to him?”

Seeing her mother sweating in worry, Ye Anxin felt a stab of pain in her heart. ”Mom, don’t panic yet. Come inside with me first.”

”It’s already been a whole day and night and he hasn’t even made a phone call, how can I not panic!” Even so, her mother still obediently followed Ye Anxin back into the house.

After settling her mother on the sofa, Ye Anxin had a servant pour her a cup of tea. Then she sat down beside her, held her mother’s hand, and said gently, ”Mom, haven’t you been resenting him for selling us out for five million back then? So why are you so nervous about him today? Have you developed feelings for him again?”

She knew that after she and Ruan Zhitong were switched, Ruan Zhitong had pushed her parents to reconcile.

But she’d always thought that what her mother truly loved was her ex-husband, and that she felt nothing for Ye Shan.

Seeing her like this today, Ye Anxin couldn’t help wondering whether her previous judgment had been wrong. Did her mother still care about the twenty-plus years of marriage with Ye Shan?

Her mother sighed, her tone full of helplessness. ”Wasn’t it you who wanted us to make up back then? I listened to you and temporarily forgave him, wanting to see whether he really regretted things or was just putting on an act! I didn’t expect that over this past half month, he’s truly changed a lot! Not only did he find a proper job, he also started caring about me and learned to be considerate! I think maybe during those six months he was away, he suffered a lot and came to understand how precious family is, so he genuinely turned over a new leaf! Although I used to resent him, twenty-some years of marriage is still there. Since he really seemed to repent, I thought we could just settle down and live our life together. But we’d barely had a few good days when yesterday he went out to work and never came back! At first I figured things were busy at the construction site, so I didn’t think much and went to bed! But when I got up this morning, I realized he hadn’t come home all night! I tried calling him, and his phone wouldn’t connect. I tried calling you, and I couldn’t get you either, so I had no choice but to come running to you!”
