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

Chapter 801 - 844: I’m Sorry

The call to Mu Beiting’s phone couldn’t get through, so Ye Anxin called his office phone!The office phone got through, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering! This was enough to prove that, at this moment, Mu Beiting was not in the office.

Helplessly, Ye Anxin called Mu Beiting’s phone again! Still, it indicated that it was powered off!

Listening to the phone repeatedly saying the same thing over and over, Ye Anxin’s mood became complicated.

If last night his phone was off because it ran out of battery, leading to her not being able to reach him, then does it mean tonight it’s the same reason?

How could there be such a coincidence!

If the phone ran out of battery, wouldn’t he think to use someone else’s phone to call her just to put her mind at ease?

Because Mu Beiting hadn’t returned, and there wasn’t even a call, Ye Anxin lost sleep again! Tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Tonight was much like last night; it wasn’t until one o’clock in the morning that there was a slight movement outside!

Actually, Mu Beiting’s footsteps were always very quiet, usually inaudible! But since the night was particularly quiet, and all of Ye Anxin’s attention was focused outside the door, she immediately heard it when Mu Beiting’s soft footsteps sounded.

To prevent Mu Beiting from worrying about her, Ye Anxin immediately turned off the room’s light, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes pretending to be asleep.

As Ye Anxin closed her eyes, the door handle was turned from the outside, and in the hallway’s light projection, Mu Beiting’s tall figure slowly walked into the room.

Although Ye Anxin had her eyes closed, she could still clearly feel Mu Beiting’s familiar presence slowly approaching, then felt the bedside sink down; shortly thereafter, Mu Beiting’s thick hand, imbued with his unique body warmth, gently caressed her soft face.

Under Mu Beiting’s tender touch, the grievance from waiting disappeared instantly, replaced by a sense of guilt! She felt guilty for complaining at home while uncle was busy for the family; she suddenly felt so petty, unworthy of uncle’s effort and love!

As Ye Anxin was feeling guilty and self-reproachful, Mu Beiting’s voice came over from beside her, "Sorry, I’ve kept you waiting so late again!"

Upon hearing Mu Beiting’s words, Ye Anxin realized he knew she was pretending to sleep, and she slowly opened her eyes, feeling embarrassed, "Uncle, I’m sorry, you’re so busy already; I shouldn’t let you worry about me!"

"Silly girl!" Mu Beiting lowered himself, planting a kiss on Ye Anxin’s forehead, softly saying, "Wait for me just a little longer, I’ll come to keep you company after taking a shower!"

"Okay!" Ye Anxin nodded obediently.

Mu Beiting stood up and took big strides into the bathroom.

Like last night, because Ye Anxin was waiting, Mu Beiting showered particularly quickly, finishing in less than five minutes.

Mu Beiting sat on the bed with a towel wrapped around his lower body, holding a towel in his hand, drying water droplets from his hair. Only after his hair was dry did he turn over on the bed, hugging Ye Anxin in his arms.

Ye Anxin nestled in Mu Beiting’s warm embrace, smelling his familiar scent, her restless heart quickly calmed.

Ye Anxin didn’t speak; Mu Beiting was the first to break the silence, "Anxin, a few more days, once I’m through these busy days, I’ll have time to be with you and the kids! Please, patiently wait a few more days, okay?"

"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, tenderly saying, "I’m already used to sleeping in uncle’s arms every day. These two days when uncle isn’t here, I’m just not used to it! There’s no need for uncle to feel guilty, I’ll gradually adjust!"

Mu Beiting spoke dominantly yet gently, "I like your habit! If you change it, I won’t be happy!"

Ye Anxin blinked her eyes, "But if the habit doesn’t change, I’ll have trouble sleeping when uncle isn’t back!"

Mu Beiting chuckled, "If you can’t sleep when I’m not around, just hold Chu Yi to keep you company! Let her temporarily take my place beside you!"

"...!" Ye Anxin was momentarily startled, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright! On the nights when uncle isn’t here, I’ll let Chu Yi sleep with me! Once uncle’s busy time is over and has time for me, I’ll send Chu Yi back to the nursery!"

"Good girl!" Mu Beiting affectionately brushed Ye Anxin’s small and straight nose, holding her tighter, his voice hoarse, "It’s late, let’s sleep!"

"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, finding a comfortable position in Mu Beiting’s embrace, then closed her eyes, and soon was fast asleep.

After Ye Anxin fell asleep, Mu Beiting lowered his head, kissed her forehead, then also closed his eyes and fell asleep!

.........

Next morning, when Ye Anxin woke up, Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai had already had breakfast and left!

Ye Anxin ate breakfast, played with little Chu Yi for a while, and once Chu Yi fell asleep, pulled out her phone to call Ye’s mother.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and Ye’s mother’s voice came through, "Anxin! What are you calling for?"

Ye Anxin asked concernedly, "Mom, has Ye Shan been bothering you these past few days?"

Ye’s mother laughed, her mood very good, "Not anymore! When you and Beiting left that day, he came again. In anger, I had Aunt Qing bring out a knife, and I told him if he dared show up in front of me again, I’d cut him to pieces! He got scared and ran away at that time, and since then, he hasn’t appeared in front of me again!"

Ye Anxin asked again, "Then where is he now? Has he left your neighborhood?"

Ye’s mother said, "One night I went out to check secretly, and he was still hanging around by the corner of the wall at the turning point outside my door! But he hasn’t been bothering me since then!"

"He’s still there?" Hearing this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but frown.

Ye’s mother said indifferently, "Wherever he is, it’s not my concern, as long as he doesn’t bother me!"

Ye Anxin nodded but still felt uneasy, reminding her, "Mm! But since he’s still there, you should be extra careful when you go out! It’s best to have Aunt Qing accompany you whenever you go out! Just in case he tries anything suddenly, it’ll be hard to guard against!"

"I know!" Ye’s mother nodded, and then switched topics, "Anxin, the day after tomorrow, Friday is your birthday! You should come with Beiting to mom’s place. Mom bought a birthday cake for you! Let’s celebrate together!"

Seeing Ye’s mother mention it again, Ye Anxin held back her annoyance, "Ah! Alright, it’s just a birthday, why make such a fuss? Furthermore, uncle is really busy recently, how could I let him accompany me for my birthday! I’ll just spend the day at home with little Chu Yi! You don’t need to worry about me!"

"But...!" Ye’s mother wanted to say more but was interrupted by Ye Anxin’s impatience, "Alright, that’s decided; I’m busy, I’ll hang up first, call if you need anything!" Saying this, without waiting for Ye’s mother to react, she hung up the phone first.
