CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 151: PLAYING THE RASCAL

Once the two of them were freshened up, Mu Beiting finally carried Ye Anxin downstairs.

As soon as they reached the staircase, they heard Yan Qinghan’s indignant voice coming from downstairs.

Yan Qinghan stood at the top of the stairs, hands on his hips, not waiting for Mu Beiting to come down as he couldn’t contain himself, "Mu Beiting, come down here, I want to duel you! This is too much, locking me in the plane’s restroom alone!"

Ignoring him completely, Mu Beiting treated him like air, carrying Ye Anxin past him towards the dining room.

He gently placed Ye Anxin in her seat and then sat at the head of the table himself.

Yan Qinghan immediately followed them into the dining room, sulking as he continued, "Hey, Mu Beiting, don’t think that by keeping quiet you can pretend nothing happened!" Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed the red and bruised marks on Ye Anxin’s neck, revealed by her clothing, and became even more irritated, "Oh, I see, I was suffering, and you were here cuddling up with your little sister-in-law!"

Feeling Yan Qinghan’s suggestive gaze, Ye Anxin quickly reached up to touch her neck, her cheeks turning crimson.

She hadn’t managed to look in a mirror since she and the uncle had their fun!

Remembering the marks the uncle had left last time, and then thinking about what just happened! She didn’t even need to look to know that her body must be covered with the aftermath of their affection!

Oh god! If she’d known, she wouldn’t have come down!

Doesn’t the whole villa now know what she was doing with the uncle in the room earlier?

Thinking about this, Ye Anxin lowered her head, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into out of embarrassment.

Just then, the food was ready. The butler instructed the maids to serve the food, placing a portion in front of both Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin.

Yan Qinghan looked at the steaming rice in front of them and couldn’t help but swallow, "What about mine?"

The butler hurriedly responded, "I thought Mr. Yan had eaten already, I’ll prepare it right away!"

Mu Beiting remained silent, letting the butler go to the kitchen to get a portion for Mu Beiting.

Yan Qinghan looked at Ye Anxin, his eyes filling with tears, and said pitifully, "Little sister-in-law, I’m telling you, Mu Beiting is really bad, you need to see him for who he is, or you’ll suffer! I’m telling you, his heart is black, even darker than ink!"

"Enough!" Mu Beiting frowned, giving him a cold glance.

Ye Anxin touched her burning cheeks, lifted her head, and unusually displeased, said, "Mr. Yan, how can you say that about the uncle? The uncle is a good person, I won’t let you talk about him like that! Otherwise, I’ll have the butler not serve you any food!"

"Little sister-in-law, you have to believe me! Mu Beiting really is not a good person! Look at me, being brothers with him for over ten years, and today he actually locked me alone in the plane’s restroom, unable to call for help! Little sister-in-law, can you understand how I felt at that moment? Do you know how desperate I was? If it weren’t for Pete kindly calling the staff at Tianhe Airport, I’d still be locked in there now! Look at me, I haven’t had a meal since morning! He’s tormented me to this state! Boohoo..." Yan Qinghan’s story grew more pitiful, even squeezing out a few tears to prove his misery.

"Locked in the plane’s restroom?" Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting in disbelief, yet Mu Beiting seemed unfazed, elegantly eating his meal.

Yan Qinghan pretended to wipe his eyes, continuing, "Look at him, not speaking, that’s an admission! He’s too vile, knowing full well I was in there, yet instructed the pilot to land, leaving me locked inside! Boohoo..."

Ye Anxin defended Mu Beiting, "How is that possible, I’ve never flown, but I know that planes are always checked before landing to prevent accidents! Even if you were really locked in, it wasn’t the uncle’s doing, it was just an accident!"

Yan Qinghan didn’t expect that the usually gentle Ye Anxin could be so sharp when defending Mu Beiting! Though he admired her resolve, he persistently said, "If it weren’t for his orders, how could the plane’s staff be so careless? This is clearly intentional!"

"...!" Ye Anxin fell silent! Her usual reticence was no match for the eloquent Yan Qinghan. It only took a few rounds for her to be speechless.

Mu Beiting, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "It was just a lesson for you!"

Yan Qinghan quickly clung to this, "See, he’s admitting it!"

Just then, the butler came in with a bowl of rice, placing it in front of Yan Qinghan.

Mu Beiting coldly glanced over, "Speak again and you’ll be thrown out!"

"Hmph! I’ll finish eating before talking to you!" Yan Qinghan pouted, lowered his head, and began to wolf down his food.

Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting, then at Yan Qinghan, and also said nothing more, lifting her bowl to start eating.

She was truly starving! Since Su Yuexin answered the uncle’s call last night, she’d been feeling low, hardly eating breakfast or lunch! After being exhausted for a few hours just now, she was practically starving!

Both Yan Qinghan and Ye Anxin were famished! Yan Qinghan went through three bowls! Even the usually small-appetited Ye Anxin ate two bowls.

"You didn’t eat all day?" Mu Beiting frowned, looking at Ye Anxin, shooting a sharp look at the butler.

The butler hurriedly explained, "I delivered breakfast and lunch to Mrs., right on time!"

Ye Anxin also quickly defended the butler, "It’s not the butler’s fault, I just didn’t have an appetite during the day, so I didn’t eat much!"

Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips together, gave the butler a cold glance, then picked up a piece of her favorite tomato scrambled eggs for Ye Anxin.

"Thank you!" Ye Anxin murmured with her mouth full, sweetly swallowing the dish Mu Beiting had picked for her.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ye Anxin contentedly wiped the corner of her mouth, then helped Mu Beiting wipe his mouth as well.

"Little sister-in-law, I want that too!" Yan Qinghan shamelessly leaned his mouth toward Ye Anxin.

As soon as he leaned in, Mu Beiting picked up the tissue box from the table and threw it at him. Yan Qinghan narrowly dodged.

Mu Beiting stretched his arm, pulling Ye Anxin into his embrace, seating her on his lap.

"Butler, send the guest out!" Mu Beiting commanded the butler with just four words, holding Ye Anxin as he stood and headed upstairs.

Yan Qinghan got up and quickly followed, "Hey, I’m not finished talking!"

"Out!" Mu Beiting tossed back a word without turning his head.

Yan Qinghan followed up to the staircase, wanting to continue but was stopped by the butler. He brushed off the butler’s hand and followed, "Hey, Mu Beiting, you’re going too far! You still haven’t given me an explanation! I was locked up for hours, do you know how desperate I felt? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’m not leaving!"
