CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 137: PARTING

Ye Anxin clung to Mu Beiting’s arm and shrugged, "Uncle, if I don’t go to class, I might fail! If I fail, I lose my scholarship! It’ll also affect my graduation!"

"No discussion!" Mu Beiting was resolute, without any hesitation.

"Uncle...!" Ye Anxin kept shrugging Mu Beiting’s arm. She knew Mu Beiting had a soft spot for her, so if she acted cute and persisted, he would surely relent.

Sure enough, Mu Beiting’s firm stance softened significantly, "Three days, you must stay for three days, that’s the bottom line! Less than three days is not negotiable!"

Ye Anxin blinked her watery eyes, looking pitifully at Mu Beiting.

Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips together without speaking, but his expression clearly told Ye Anxin that this was his utmost concession.

Seeing Mu Beiting so determined, Ye Anxin reluctantly agreed, "Alright then! I’ll stay for three days, but I must be discharged and go home after three days!"

Hearing this, a barely noticeable curve appeared on Mu Beiting’s firm lips.

"Uncle, I’ll call Yueyue and ask her to make notes of the lectures every day after school and bring them to me so I can review them, okay?" Since she couldn’t attend classes, Ye Anxin had to think of other ways.

After all, it was only three days. She could review in the hospital and ask Yueyue about anything she didn’t understand, which shouldn’t be a big problem.

Mu Beiting nodded, "That’s fine!"

Ye Anxin’s eyes curved with her smile, "Uncle, you’re the best!" Saying this, she took out her phone from the bedside table and sent a text to Ling Yueyue.

As she sent it, she asked, "Uncle, at this time, why aren’t you at the company? Is it not busy?"

Just as she finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open! Pete walked in carrying a pile of documents.

Mu Beiting immediately responded, "For the next three days, I’ll handle official matters here!"

After sending the message, Ye Anxin looked up, beaming at Mu Beiting, and teased, "Uncle, are you worried I’ll be bored, so you’re here to keep me company?"

Mu Beiting’s handsome face blushed slightly, without answering, he started working on paperwork with Pete on the sofa.

Pete, sitting next to Mu Beiting, glanced at Ye Anxin and spoke with some difficulty, "President, there’s a problem at the construction site in J City, and you might need to go there personally!"

Mu Beiting’s eyes sharpened as he extended his hand to Pete.

Pete understood immediately and hurriedly handed the documents to Mu Beiting.

Mu Beiting swiftly skimmed through the documents, his expression growing darker the further he read.

"Pete, is it that serious?" Ye Anxin could tell things were not good just by looking at Mu Beiting’s face! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such an expression.

Pete nodded, his face equally grave.

Ye Anxin quickly said, "Uncle, you should go handle it! Anyway, my snake venom has been completely cleared, it’s not a big deal, don’t delay important matters because of me!"

Mu Beiting tightly clasped his long, distinct fingers around the file, not answering Ye Anxin, with deep thoughts in his deep-set eyes as he stared at the document in a daze.

"President, this matter is crucial and cannot be delayed! Our corporation has invested heavily in this project, and any mistake would be a substantial blow to us!" Seeing Mu Beiting’s expression, Pete knew the boss was reluctant to leave his wife!

But this issue was too significant, truly requiring Mu Beiting’s personal intervention.

"They are all useless!" Mu Beiting angrily flung the file to the ground, his face clouded with frustration.

Pete analyzed, "President, it seems someone is deliberately targeting our corporation, probably intending to force you to make a trip there!"

Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed into a straight line as his eyes locked onto Ye Anxin with reluctance.

Ye Anxin quickly laughed, "Uncle, just go! If you’re worried about me, I can have Yueyue come keep me company in the hospital! Isn’t there also the butler? Whatever I eat or need, I can always call the butler! You can leave at ease!"

"President, time is of the essence, we must depart immediately! The documents I just brought in are all from the construction site in J City!" Pete was sweating with anxiety! Earlier, he was afraid that if he mentioned it on the phone, the boss would refuse out of concern for his wife, so he brought the files over and discussed it in her presence, hoping she could persuade the boss too.

"Uncle, you should go! If the corporation suffers a huge loss because of me, I would live with guilt and an uneasy conscience forever!" Seeing Pete’s anxious demeanor, though Ye Anxin didn’t understand much about business matters, she knew this must be truly important, and she didn’t want to burden Mu Beiting because of her.

Mu Beiting pondered for a moment before instructing Pete, "Notify the pilot to prepare for departure to J City in half an hour!"

"Okay!" Seeing Mu Beiting finally agree, Pete breathed a sigh of relief and hurried off to make arrangements.

Mu Beiting stood up, walked to the bedside, and commanded dominantly, "For the next few days, behave and stay in the hospital. Without my permission, do not get discharged! If I find out you disobey my orders, I’ll severely punish the butler for not taking care of you properly!"

"You’re so mean, threatening me with the butler!" Ye Anxin pouted and glared at Mu Beiting, unconvinced.

Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow and unabashedly acknowledged, "So, the butler’s fate is in your hands!"

"Alright, I get it! Overbearing man!" Ye Anxin rolled her eyes at him, although she expressed dissatisfaction verbally, her heart felt warm and happy because of his concern!

Women are always contradictory! Being a woman, she’s no exception.

"Be good!" Mu Beiting pressed his large hand over her head, leaving a passionate kiss on her forehead.

"Uncle, I’ll miss you!" Ye Anxin suddenly wrapped her arms around Mu Beiting’s firm waist, burying her head deeply in his embrace.

She didn’t feel it earlier, but after Mu Beiting kissed her, she suddenly felt quite reluctant.

Since their marriage, they have never been apart! Even when he didn’t return all night the last time, they still saw each other during the day! This time, she didn’t know how long he would be gone!

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sour sting in her nose, wanting to cry.

Mu Beiting didn’t speak, just held Ye Anxin more tightly in his arms.

Seeing him remain silent, Ye Anxin looked up with red eyes and asked, "Uncle, will you miss me?"

Mu Beiting gazed down at her tear-filled eyes, akin to a pitiful little rabbit, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and captured her red lips.

His actions were both forceful and gentle, his tongue nimbly prying open her teeth, entwining her tender little tongue in a dance.

Ye Anxin was initially stunned but then wrapped her arms around his neck, responding awkwardly.
