CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: SULKING?

Yan Qinghan touched the spot where Ye Anxin’s finger had been, grinned, and said, "I’m fine, just got bitten by a dog!"

"A dog?" Ye Anxin blinked, clearly not believing what he said.

Yan Qinghan smiled noncommittally, then changed the subject, saying, "Weren’t you going up? Come, I’ll take you up!"

"Mr. Yan!" The receptionist was startled and looked troubled.

"It’s fine, I’ll handle whatever happens!" Yan Qinghan threw a flirty glance at the receptionist, who instantly beamed and naturally didn’t stop them anymore.

Besides, even if they wanted to stop them, they couldn’t. The Mu Group was like Yan Qinghan’s home; he could come and go as he pleased, and no one ever stopped him! Because it was indirectly approved by their president himself!

Yan Qinghan took Ye Anxin to the president’s elevator straight to the top floor. Just as they were about to enter the president’s office, Judy stopped them, "Mr. Yan, I’m sorry, but the president instructed that you can no longer enter!"

Yan Qinghan raised an eyebrow, playfully saying, "This guy, is he really mad?"

Judy maintained a polite smile and didn’t respond.

Yan Qinghan teased, "Your president is just putting on a show. If he really didn’t want me to come in, he would have instructed the front desk to stop me. Why wait until here to have you stop me? Don’t worry! He’s just sulking for a bit, and he’ll cool off soon! Let me in, and I’ll appease him!"

"...!" Judy remained silent, but upon thinking it through, found Yan Qinghan made sense!

If the president really didn’t want Yan Qinghan to come in, he would have given an immediate order to the company, and Yan Qinghan couldn’t even enter the Mu Building, let alone the top floor!

It was evident that the president wasn’t really barring Yan Qinghan, perhaps he was just speaking out of anger?

"Oh, don’t worry, if he’s mad, I’ll take the blame for it!" He said, impatiently pushing Judy aside and leading Ye Anxin straight into the president’s office.

In the office, Mu Beiting was buried in a mountain of paperwork. Hearing the door open, he didn’t even lift his head and flatly said, "Get out...!"

Yan Qinghan chuckled indifferently, plopped down onto a leather chair opposite Mu Beiting’s desk, and said with a grin, "Oh, I know, you’re just still mad, saying angry words! Look, to atone, I brought someone for you!"

"Get out...!" Mu Beiting still didn’t lift his head, his attitude firm.

Yan Qinghan grinned and turned to Ye Anxin behind him, saying, "Little sister-in-law, look, your uncle is mad again! I’ve never met anyone as petty as him in my life!"

Hearing this, Mu Beiting’s hand, which was holding a pen, paused slightly, but he still didn’t look up and remained silent, buried in his files.

"You two...?" From their conversation, Ye Anxin finally sensed something was off.

These two seemed to be having a disagreement? But weren’t they just fine the day before? How did things turn like this after just one day?

Yan Qinghan leaned his handsome face closer to Ye Anxin, pointing at the bruise by his mouth, and said pitifully, "Look at my handsome face, perfectly bruised by him, and now I can’t flirt for at least a week! Little sister-in-law, what do you say? Shouldn’t you stand up for me?"

Ye Anxin was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why did he hit you?"

"Isn’t it because...!" Yan Qinghan mischievously smiled, but before he could finish his words, Mu Beiting harshly interrupted, "If you dare talk nonsense, I’ll have someone throw you out!"

Yan Qinghan pouted, "Alright, alright, I won’t say, can’t say anything?"

Ye Anxin blinked her big, clear eyes, puzzled as she glanced at Mu Beiting, then at Yan Qinghan.

She felt like there was some sort of secret between them, and it was a secret Mu Beiting didn’t want her to know.

Since they didn’t want her to know, she wouldn’t ask. After all, she wasn’t someone who liked to pry or insist on getting to the bottom of things.

Mu Beiting noticed Ye Anxin’s gaze fixed on Yan Qinghan’s face, her eyes unfocused, and his eyes darkened a bit as if a shadow passed through.

Yan Qinghan glanced at Mu Beiting and deliberately said with a smile, "Little sister-in-law, don’t look at me like that; if you keep looking at me with those eyes, I’m afraid I might fall for you!"

"Gah...!" Hearing this, Ye Anxin’s face immediately turned bright red, and she quickly shifted her gaze to Mu Beiting. When she saw the cold expression on his face, she was startled and quickly walked over, grabbing his arm and pleading, "Uncle, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, don’t be mad!"

Mu Beiting gave her a glance, his lips pressed together, saying nothing.

Yan Qinghan winked playfully at Ye Anxin, "Little sister-in-law, what did you do to make your uncle angry? Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s eyes grew colder, "Get out!"

Although Mu Beiting didn’t specify who he wanted out, Ye Anxin knew those words were directed at her! Uncle was really mad, wanting to drive her out, not wanting to see her.

Ye Anxin lowered her head, ashamed, and said, "Uncle, I’m sorry, I really realized my mistake! I clearly promised you I’d come back early last night, but I ended up getting drunk and staying at the hotel overnight! I really didn’t mean to!"

"Get out!" Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s face grew colder, still just two words.

Ye Anxin knew Mu Beiting was truly angry this time! And she really was wrong! Originally promised to return early, but ended up not only not coming back early, but staying out all night; anyone would be angry!

Ye Anxin bit her lip, "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I swear I won’t drink at any gatherings again! I didn’t expect Teacher Li to keep insisting I drink; if I refused, she said I was disrespecting her! I’m sorry, please forgive me!"

Mu Beiting pressed his lips together, saying no more.

Yan Qinghan sat in the corner, glanced playfully at both of them, and suddenly said, "Little sister-in-law, you misunderstood, your uncle isn’t mad at you; he’s mad at himself!"

"..." Ye Anxin looked at Yan Qinghan, puzzled.

Yan Qinghan smiled and explained, "Your uncle feels ashamed facing you; seeing you makes him feel bad, so he told you to leave! Don’t misunderstand!"

"Why would he feel bad seeing me?" Ye Anxin obviously didn’t believe Yan Qinghan’s words.

Yesterday, when they talked on the phone, everything was fine, how come overnight, Uncle felt ashamed facing her? That’s impossible! So, Uncle was still mad at her.

"Trust me, he’s really not blaming you, he’s feeling guilty!" Yan Qinghan grinned, playing a teasing game without explaining fully.

Mu Beiting’s cold gaze swept over, his thin lips parted, "Get out!"

Yan Qinghan rolled his eyes at him, "Always with the same word, aren’t you tired of saying it?"

Mu Beiting still resolutely uttered one word, "Out!"
