CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 127: DRAWN SWORDS AND TAUT BOWS

Suddenly called upon, Ling Yueyue stood up abruptly, "No, no, I’m fine!" As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the puzzled looks from everyone present, realizing her reaction was too much, she quickly sat down again with a smile, "I’m fine, it’s just that my mother’s health hasn’t been good lately, I’m just a bit worried!"

Huo Junmo asked with concern, "Is your mother okay? I know some good doctors, if needed, you can come to me!"

Ling Yueyue shook her head, "No, no, it’s fine, she’s already seen a doctor, she’s almost recovered!"

Ye Anxin blinked, giving her a puzzled look. Although Ling Yueyue seemed a bit odd today, she couldn’t figure out why, so she just said, "Let’s eat then!"

"Okay!" Ling Yueyue nodded, picked up her bowl, and started eating silently.

At that moment, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Everyone present was startled, exchanging glances, especially Ye Anxin and Mother Ye, who looked at each other for a long time, thinking they had misheard when the knocking started.

While they were still in a daze, the knocking sounded again.

Ye Anxin asked in confusion, "Mom, do we have other guests?"

"No! We have no relatives in Jin City, who could it be?" Mother Ye was equally perplexed! Not to mention this remote rental, even in their previous small apartment, it was always just the three of them; except for Yueyue, no one has ever come over! Especially not in this new place.

"Then I’ll get the door!" With that, Ye Anxin stood up and headed for the door.

The other four also stood up after her, heading towards the door together.

Because it was an old-fashioned building with no peephole on the door, Ye Anxin first opened the door a crack and peeked outside. When she saw the person standing outside, she was completely stunned.

Outside the door, Yan Qinghan grinned and greeted Ye Anxin, "Hi, little sister-in-law!"

"You...!" Ye Anxin blinked and looked at the figure behind him!

Though the staircase was dimly lit, and the person was completely blocked by Yan Qinghan, she couldn’t see what he looked like, but from the feeling and presence, Ye Anxin was almost certain that the person standing behind Yan Qinghan was definitely Uncle. Uncle came?

Thinking of this, Ye Anxin immediately opened the door, if not for the people around, she would have definitely thrown herself into her Uncle’s arms excitedly.

Ye Anxin opened the door, revealing Yan Qinghan’s tall figure to everyone.

Yan Qinghan entered, but Mu Beiting did not move, still standing just outside the door.

Ye Anxin bit her lip, went out, hooked her arm through his, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, why are you here?"

"You don’t want me to come?" Mu Beiting’s voice was low and deep, with a hint of enticing tone.

Ye Anxin shook her little head like a rattle, "No, no, why wouldn’t I want you to come! It’s just...!"

While Ye Anxin stammered, Huo Junmo’s pleasant voice came from inside the room, "Qinghan, why are you here?"

Upon hearing this voice, Mu Beiting’s tall figure visibly shuddered and then strode inside.

As Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin walked in hand-in-hand, time seemed to stand still! Except for Yan Qinghan, everyone held their breath, eyes wide open, looking at them in disbelief.

Mu Beiting shot a cold glance at Huo Junmo, the instant their gazes met, sparks flew.

Yan Qinghan squinted playfully, asking, "Junmo, what are you doing here?"

Huo Junmo replied openly, "I was invited by Father Ye!"

Father Ye hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, I invited Mr. Huo! He’s our Anxin’s boyfriend, such an important gathering today, of course, he should be here!"

With those words, everyone present suddenly felt the air temperature drop several degrees!

Ye Anxin was shocked inside, knowing Mu Beiting was upset again, she quickly tried to explain, "Uncle, don’t listen to my dad’s nonsense, Mr. Huo and I just met a few times, we are just ordinary friends! Just last time, the time in the hotel, my dad saw us eating together and misunderstood us!"

Father Ye looked at Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting still holding hands and frowned, displeased, "Anxin, what are you saying? Misunderstood what?"

Ye Anxin glared at Father Ye, "Dad, stop saying that, Mr. Huo and I are really innocent! If you keep talking like that, Uncle will misunderstand!"

Father Ye ignored Ye Anxin’s warning, disdainfully asking, "Uncle? What is your relationship?"

"I...we...?" Ye Anxin wanted to say, but didn’t dare to.

Without Uncle’s permission, she dared not reveal their relationship!

"Anxin, you...you guys...!" It took Mother Ye a while to find her voice, pointing at Ye Anxin and then at Mu Beiting, stammering, "He, who is he?"

Only then did Ye Anxin realize she was still holding Mu Beiting’s arm, hastily trying to pull her hand away, only to be stopped by Mu Beiting.

Ye Anxin’s face turned slightly red, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to do.

"You silly girl, what are you up to? If Mr. Huo isn’t your boyfriend, then why did you agree to give me ten million as a betrothal gift! I’m telling you, I’ve already settled on him as my son-in-law, you better not marry anyone else! Or else...see how I’ll...see how I’ll deal with you?"

Father Ye looked at Mu Beiting holding Ye Anxin’s delicate hand tightly without letting go, his old face flushed with anger. He wanted to rush over and lecture him but was intimidated by his powerful aura.

He had finally found such a wealthy son-in-law in Huo Junmo, and he absolutely wouldn’t let such a wealthy son-in-law slip away just like that.

"Dad...!" Ye Anxin was equally angry, looking up at Mu Beiting, fearing he would get upset!

Unfortunately, Mu Beiting’s gaze, from the moment he entered, never left Huo Junmo, the two men’s gazes clashing fiercely in the air.

Yan Qinghan sat down on the sofa, lazily leaning back, crossing his legs, teasing, "Oh, little sister-in-law, it’s not that I’m blaming you! No wonder your Uncle is angry, you’ve been married for so long, yet you keep your relationship hidden, if it were me, I’d be angry too! If I hadn’t been in his office just now, he’d probably still be sitting there sulking alone!"

The moment Yan Qinghan finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed, showing varied emotions.

Huo Junmo and Mu Beiting’s fierce gazes at each other instantly diminished greatly.

Ye Anxin raised her eyes, uncertainly asking, "Uncle, you’re really upset about this?"

She always thought Mu Beiting didn’t want others to know about their relationship and had never mentioned visiting her parents! Even last time downstairs, he didn’t say a word about coming up!
