Chapter 773: Chapter 816: Did She Make Him Angry?
When Mu Beiting was about to shake off Mo Xuehong’s hand that was holding his arm, Ye Anxin’s hand immediately covered it.
Mu Beiting lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Anxin! Ye Anxin quickly gave Mu Beiting a look.
Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed together, his fingers moved slightly, but in the end, he did not shake off Mo Xuehong’s hand.
"Muyao, Mom has a lot to say to you. Will you keep your mom company for a chat? These days, Mom has been so lonely, without even someone to talk to!" Mo Xuehong apparently couldn’t see the displeasure on Mu Beiting’s face and pulled him to sit on the sofa beside her.
Watching Mu Beiting’s expression, clearly displeased but holding it back, even Pete couldn’t help but snicker.
Hearing Pete snicker, Mu Beiting’s sharp eyes swept over him in a warning!
Pete shivered suddenly, hurriedly held back his laughter, and said seriously, "Boss, I’ve already given the instructions. I’m confident that within a few days, we’ll find a suitable place!"
"Mm!" Mu Beiting responded coldly, his expression still sour.
Mo Xuehong held Mu Beiting’s hand while sitting on the sofa, continuously chatting with him as a sign of yearning!
Even though Mu Beiting didn’t respond once, she kept chatting happily.
The conversation went on for a long time, so long that the maids sent by the butler had arrived, and Mu Beiting finally stood up, saying coldly, "They’ve arrived, we should head back!"
Hearing that Mu Beiting was leaving, Mo Xuehong hurriedly stood up, holding his arm, she said reluctantly, "Muyao, are you leaving?"
Ye Anxin quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, when we have time, I’ll bring your Muyao to see you again! He’s very tired today and needs to go back to rest!"
Mo Xuehong said aggrievedly, "Won’t you stay with mom?"
"Even if we’re not staying together, we’ll come to see you when we have time! Be good and listen here!" Ye Anxin coaxed Mo Xuehong as if she were coaxing a child.
She knew that Mo Xuehong’s mind was like that of a child now, needing to be coaxed!
Though reluctant, Mo Xuehong nodded obediently, "I’ll be good and listen. You have to come see me!"
"I definitely will!" Ye Anxin promised confidently, then instructed the maids to take good care of Mo Xuehong before leaving with Mu Beiting and Pete.
After reaching the hotel, Pete, Mu Beiting, and Ye Anxin each got into a car, Pete headed for the company, and Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin went back to the villa.
In the car, Ye Anxin wrapped her arm around Mu Beiting’s and said with a smile, "Uncle, I know you felt uncomfortable with mother-in-law touching you! But you have to get used to it slowly. If you push her away, she’ll be hurt! Moreover, it’s not good for developing your relationship!"
Mu Beiting said indifferently, "I don’t need it!"
Ye Anxin pouted softly, "Uncle...!"
She knew there was no way he didn’t care, no way he could be indifferent! A mother he had longed for over twenty years, finally being able to peacefully coexist and chat, there’s no way he truly didn’t care!
Ultimately, he was just not used to it and couldn’t lower his pride!
Mu Beiting helplessly said, "Alright, I get it! You’re getting more and more like a housekeeper!"
Hearing Mu Beiting’s latter words, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but widen her eyes, "Uncle, what did you just say?"
"What did I say? I didn’t say anything!" Mu Beiting immediately played dumb, pretending not to know.
Ye Anxin pouted unhappily, "Did you just call me a housekeeper? You’re implying I’m meddling and nagging, aren’t you?"
"...!" Mu Beiting was at a loss for words, his mouth opened, wanting to explain, but didn’t know how to.
Seeing Mu Beiting silent, thinking he tacitly agreed, Ye Anxin puckered her lips, and said sadly, "I knew it, the longer it goes on, the more you dislike me! Now you think I’m nagging and meddling too much! You used to never dislike me, only saying I was kind! Indeed, men are all the same, the longer it goes on, they start to dislike their wives...!" The more she spoke, the more upset she became, eventually squeezing out a few tears.
Seeing her actually cry, Mu Beiting panicked and hurriedly said, "That’s not what I meant, don’t cry! I... I... I mean you care well, I’m not saying you’re meddling! I actually need a housekeeper... I really like you this way...!"
This was the first time in Mu Beiting’s over thirty years of life that he was flustered, trying to explain nervously for the first time.
But, as someone who never explained himself, he had no idea how to, and ended up speaking incoherently without making any point!
Ye Anxin kept her head down, pretending to wipe her tears while secretly peeking at Mu Beiting’s expression; seeing his bewildered, panic-stricken face, she laughed silently in her heart and intentionally said, "Look, you admitted it, calling me a housekeeper. I’m only in my twenties, still very young, how did I become a housekeeper? If you dislike me, just say it, I won’t cling to you, you can find yourself a gentle and charming wife! Boohoo...!" As she said this, she deliberately raised her voice, sobbing a few times.
After hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu Beiting’s initially anxious face suddenly turned dark, his entire face shrouded in gloom, and his breath became somewhat ragged, as if the air in the car dropped to freezing point!
At first, Ye Anxin intended to tease Mu Beiting a bit more! But gradually, she felt the surrounding atmosphere become somewhat sinister.
After waiting for a long time without a response from Mu Beiting, she couldn’t help but lift her head slightly, stealing a glimpse at Mu Beiting with the corner of her eye! This glance startled her!
She saw Mu Beiting’s face was overcast, his eyes red, and his large hands placed on his thighs were tightly clenched into fists, as if he was suppressing something painfully.
Seeing Mu Beiting like this, Ye Anxin realized he was angry!
But just a moment ago everything was fine, why the sudden anger? Could it be that she said something wrong earlier?
Thinking this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but replay her earlier words in her mind! But no matter how she thought, she couldn’t find a sentence that seemed wrong!
Ye Anxin tugged at Mu Beiting’s arm, gently shrugging it, and asked cautiously, "Uncle, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly angry out of nowhere?"
Mu Beiting didn’t speak, his thin lips tightly pressed, showing no sign of his expression easing.
Seeing this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but lick her lips and continued to ask, "Uncle, did I say something wrong earlier? But I didn’t say anything wrong just now?"
Hearing this, Mu Beiting suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Anxin.
Before Ye Anxin could react, he suddenly extended his hand, forcefully pinching Ye Anxin’s chin.
