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

Chapter 904: Chapter 947: Memories of the Past

Mu Beiting didn’t answer, he just looked at her quietly like that! He didn’t stop anyone from putting out the fire, nor did he show any pain or sympathy.

On the contrary, Ye Anxin was genuinely frightened by the scene before her! Watching as a perfectly fine person just went up in flames right before her eyes, Ye Anxin felt her legs go weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

The smell of something burning gradually filled the air! Ruan Zhitong, however, seemed to have no feeling at all, and just looked at Mu Beiting quietly, hoping to engrave his image deeply in her mind in her last moment.

Looking at that familiar yet no longer hers handsome face, the past memories flashed through her mind like snippets of a movie.

She would never forget that winter thirteen years ago, when she was twenty, and he was twenty-four!

It was a snowy day, and it was also Gu Xingchen’s sister’s birthday. The Gu Family hosted a grand birthday party for her, inviting all the high-class people of Jin City!

That day, her father was also among the invited, and it was then that they met!

She was wearing a white evening gown, white knee-high boots, a white furry shawl over her shoulders, standing beside Gu Xingchen’s sister, who was like the star surrounded by the moon!

When Gu Xingchen’s sister made a wish and was about to blow out the birthday candles, Mu Beiting appeared!

He appeared with the other four young masters of Jin City, and he was standing at the far side!

Although all of them were equally handsome and graceful, her eyes were stuck on him and couldn’t move away no matter what!

She could feel a sense of aloofness from him, a distance that kept people at bay!

She didn’t know why, but the first time she saw him, her heart ached, and she thought, he must be very unhappy in life!

Even though she was only twenty at the time, she knew she had fallen in love with him, it was love at first sight!

However, he was so outstanding, not just in appearance, but also very capable, and was the only heir of the Mu Group! She felt she was not worthy of him! Yet, she couldn’t help but be attracted to him!

So, after the birthday party, she seized the opportunity as he finished work, rushed in front of him, bowed her head, and shyly told him she liked him and hoped to be his girlfriend!

She knew Mu Beiting was very popular among girls, and there were many women who liked him! And she was just one of the unnoticed ones among them!

Therefore, she held no hope at all!

Unexpectedly, to her surprise! He actually agreed to her confession! She didn’t know since when he started to notice her! She only knew, from that day onward, she became his girlfriend! An openly acknowledged girlfriend!

Though he had always been taciturn, with her being the one bringing up topics whenever they were together, she still felt very happy and satisfied!

Because although he never said anything, he treated her very well! Very attentive!

Every time they went out shopping and she got tired, before she could say anything, he’d bend down and carry her on his back!

When her period came, he would personally prepare brown sugar water for her and heat water for her to soak her feet!

He knew she didn’t like green peppers, so every time at meals, he would ask the waiter not to add green peppers to the dishes. Occasionally, if the waiter made a mistake and added green peppers, he’d carefully pick them out for her!

Walking on the road, if she got cold, he would take off his clothes and put them on her, then hold her tightly in his arms!

When the Mu Family’s patriarch opposed them being together and wanted him to marry Gu Xingchen’s sister, he left the Mu Family without hesitation for her, giving up the position of CEO of the Mu Group and rented an apartment with her outside!

When she made a mess of preparing their first dinner, he unhesitatingly put on an apron and told her to watch TV in the living room while he busied himself in the kitchen!

She never knew that a man with such outstanding looks, ability, and charisma could also cook so well!

Even though he never verbally said he loved her, she firmly believed this was love! If not for love, how could a man do so much for a woman!

And although those times were the most naive, they were also the most beautiful!

Sadly, the good times didn’t last long. To force their compliance, the Mu Family’s patriarch persecuted the Ruan Family, wanting him to marry Gu Xingchen’s sister!

For the sake of her father, for the Ruan Family! She had no choice but to painfully choose to hurt the man who loved her!

Hurting him hurt her more than it hurt him! Especially seeing his angry back leaving, she felt as though her heart was being painfully torn out!

To completely forget him, her father took her away from this sorrowful place!

She thought their love could withstand the test of time! She thought that when she returned, they could go back to the way they were, living happily as before!

But, she was wrong! When she came back, there was already another woman by his side!

He had given all the tenderness, care, and attention he once gave her to that woman named Ye Anxin!

She didn’t know why such a deep and unforgettable feeling could vanish entirely in just six short years!

Perhaps, this man never truly loved her, and it was all her wishful thinking from beginning to end! So, he could forget it so thoroughly and instead fall in love with that woman named Ye Anxin!

Having loved for so long and hated for so long, today, it’s finally over! She no longer needed to torment herself for this!

”Goodbye, if we can’t be together in this life, I hope we have a chance in the next!” Ruan Zhitong looked at Mu Beiting and silently said her last words in her heart, then slowly closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

As she fell to the ground, the gasoline spread across the entire rooftop ignited uncontrollably as well.

Fortunately, the Blue Sky Building was large and a barrel of gasoline was limited. Mu Beiting hurriedly shielded Ye Anxin in a corner untouched by gasoline, took off her gasoline-soaked clothes, then dressed her in his own!

The bodyguards who had come up with him quickly grabbed fire extinguishers to put out the fire!

Luckily, every floor had fire extinguishers, and soon enough, the bodyguards brought them up and put out the raging fire.

However, when the fire was extinguished, Ruan Zhitong had already been burned into a charred corpse, her whole body blackened beyond recognition!

Even so, Ye Anxin could feel that she was very peaceful at that moment, not experiencing any pain but rather a sense of relief.

”Let’s go! Let’s head back!” Mu Beiting wrapped his arm around Ye Anxin’s shoulders and led her towards the staircase.

”What about Ruan Zhitong? Are we just going to leave her body here like this?” Ye Anxin looked at Ruan Zhitong’s charred body, her feet rooted to the ground, unable to move an inch.
