CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: THE MOST BASIC RESPECT

Ye Anxin felt very wronged, it was clearly his mistake, she should be the one questioning him! But now it turned around, making it seem like she was the one who did something wrong.

Mu Beiting ordered in a cold voice, "Come here!"

Ye Anxin bit her lower lip hard and moved her butt closer to Mu Beiting.

Mu Beiting was still not satisfied, and spoke up, "A little closer!"

Ye Anxin moved closer to Mu Beiting again.

Mu Beiting’s patience ran out, he pulled her arm and directly pulled her into his embrace.

"Ah...!" Ye Anxin, caught off guard, fell entirely into Mu Beiting’s broad chest.

Mu Beiting’s strong arms wrapped around Ye Anxin’s slender waist, fixing her body in his embrace.

Ye Anxin tried to move cautiously, only to realize how strong he was; the moment she moved, he would increase his grip!

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Ye Anxin had to take a step back and come up with another excuse, "Uncle, I... this position is really uncomfortable for my legs!"

Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips together and released her!

Ye Anxin thought Mu Beiting had let her go! Unexpectedly, Mu Beiting just adjusted her to a more comfortable position, continued to hold her in his arms, and even held her tighter than before.

Ye Anxin sighed deeply in her heart, knowing his domineering nature, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t let her go.

Just as Ye Anxin sighed, Mu Beiting’s deep voice sounded above her head, "Now you can speak!"

Ye Anxin asked inexplicably, "Speak about what?"

Mu Beiting patiently reminded, "Talk about why you were avoiding me just now?"

Ye Anxin fell silent, her eyes lowered, hesitating on how to speak.

Mu Beiting’s brow furrowed tightly, impatiently spitting out a word, "Speak!"

Ye Anxin furrowed her brows, struggled internally for a while, and finally mustered the courage to ask boldly, "Uncle, why were you appearing with Su Yuexin?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Ye Anxin held her breath, nervously waiting for Mu Beiting’s answer.

Unfortunately, Mu Beiting didn’t speak for a long time, and the carriage suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Just as Ye Anxin thought Mu Beiting wouldn’t answer her, Mu Beiting suddenly spoke, "Were you avoiding me because of her?"

"...!" Ye Anxin blinked her eyes, caught off guard by her sudden question.

Mu Beiting said displeasedly, "Answer me!"

"I... I... I...!" Ye Anxin was shocked, repeating the word ’I’ several times but really didn’t know how to answer.

If yes, uncle will definitely continue to press! If no, she wasn’t avoiding because of that on purpose! It was just a kind of self-avoidance she was doing earlier, that’s why she reflexively took such an action.

This question is so complicated, how should she answer it!

Just as Ye Anxin stammered, struggling to find an answer, Mu Beiting suddenly let her go!

Suddenly freed, leaving Mu Beiting’s familiar and warm embrace, Ye Anxin suddenly felt empty inside, as if something was missing.

"Uncle...!" Ye Anxin knew Mu Beiting was angry again, and as for the reason for his anger, she didn’t need to think to know what it was!

Ye Anxin bit her lip and tentatively called out, "Uncle!"

Mu Beiting didn’t answer, his expression colder.

Looking at Mu Beiting’s cold expression, as if rejecting everything beyond that, Ye Anxin suddenly felt very wronged!

Today, she originally wanted to give him a surprise, but in the end, he shocked her!

She hadn’t started questioning him, and yet he was already blaming her!

Making it seem like it was all her fault! What did she do wrong? As a wife, seeing her husband with another woman, shouldn’t she be angry, shouldn’t she question this?

But... but why did everything turn out different from what she thought, completely off track?

Ye Anxin felt more and more wronged, her nose turned sour, and her vision unconsciously became blurry.

Ye Anxin tried hard to hold back her tears, not letting them fall!

But there were too many tears in her eyes, more and more, to the point that they couldn’t stay in and just flowed down along the corners of her eyes.

Once the tears started flowing, they couldn’t stop!

Since she couldn’t hold back, Ye Anxin didn’t force it, curled up her legs, buried her little face into them, and cried freely.

Hearing the crying, Mu Beiting’s straight body slightly shivered, his brows tightened further, and a hint of inexplicable emotion flashed deep in his eyes.

Mu Beiting asked knowingly, "Are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin didn’t answer but rather cried even harder.

Mu Beiting’s hard face barely changed, his long fingers on his thighs twitched a bit, then slowly reached over to Ye Anxin, awkwardly placing it on her shoulder, and gently patted her.

Mu Beiting’s thin lips moved slightly, and he awkwardly uttered two words, "Don’t cry!"

It was fine when he didn’t speak, but as soon as he did, all the grievances in Ye Anxin’s heart suddenly burst out, originally suppressed crying turned into loud sobbing!

Just like that, disregarding her image, mouth wide open, crying at the top of her voice.

Mu Beiting’s brows knitted so tightly they could almost pinch a fly to death!

Lowering his eyes and silent for a moment, Mu Beiting pulled her back into his arms, held her slender waist with one hand, and wiped away her tears with the other hand, asking puzzledly, "Why are you crying?"

"I feel wronged! I originally came happily to pick uncle up, wanting to give uncle a surprise! But instead, I saw uncle walking hand in hand with an old lover! Tell me, what woman wouldn’t feel uneasy seeing her husband with an old flame? But, instead of explaining anything, uncle got mad at me and gave me the cold shoulder! Woo woo...! You say, how could I not feel wronged? Woo woo...!" Ye Anxin spoke while crying! Taking advantage of her current sense of injustice, she vented all the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Mu Beiting fell silent for a long while before suddenly blurting out, "Are you jealous?"

"...!" Hearing this, Ye Anxin stopped crying, blinked in surprise, and then denied directly without thinking, "No, I’m not!"

Mu Beiting retorted, "Then why are you crying?"

Ye Anxin sniffed and hauntingly replied with a grievance, "As a wife, seeing your husband walking hand in hand with another woman, shouldn’t you feel upset? At the very least, you should give me an explanation! This is the most basic respect for a wife!"

Looking at Ye Anxin’s desperate denial on her little face, a barely noticeable curve appeared at Mu Beiting’s lips, "I’ve never had Su Yuexin in my eyes!"

"...!" Ye Anxin blinked at Mu Beiting.

She? Who does she mean? Su Yuexin?

Was uncle saying to her that he had never had Su Yuexin in his eyes?
