CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 159: BEITING, AREN’T YOU GOING TO WISH ME WELL?

Ling Yueyue didn’t have time to ask before Mu Beiting took Ye Anxin and walked away without looking back.

"Hey, Mu Beiting, are you deliberately causing trouble?" Ling Yueyue was fuming and wanted to chase after them, but Huo Junmo stopped her.

Huo Junmo asked in a deep voice, "Qinghan, what exactly is going on here?"

Yan Qinghan shrugged innocently, "How would I know? You know Mu Beiting’s personality, he’s always unpredictable!"

Huo Junmo gave Yan Qinghan a warning glare, then turned to Ling Yueyue and said, "Forget it, let’s continue! Anyway, Miss Ye’s dress is already chosen!"

"Yan Qinghan, why did you bring Mu Beiting here? You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?" Ling Yueyue couldn’t vent her anger at anyone else, so she directed all her grievances at Yan Qinghan.

On hearing this, Yan Qinghan grimaced and pleaded his innocence, "I’m innocent! How was I supposed to know he would act like this!"

"Hmph!" Ling Yueyue gave him a fierce look, ignored him, and continued taking photos with Huo Junmo.

......

Sitting in the car with Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin asked puzzled, "Uncle, what’s wrong? Why are you upset?"

Mu Beiting replied coldly, "You cannot be a bridesmaid!"

Ye Anxin asked in shock, "Why? Didn’t you agree just now?"

"No means no, there’s no reason!" Mu Beiting didn’t give any explanation, just issued an order.

Ye Anxin wrapped her arm around his, rested her head on his shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Uncle, Yueyue is my only friend, we’ve grown up together since we were little! I’m soft-hearted and always bullied, Yueyue has been protecting me since childhood! She’s really good to me, now that she’s getting married, if I can’t be her bridesmaid, I will feel guilty and blame myself for life! Uncle, just consider it a favor I’m asking of you, will you agree?"

Ye Anxin knew Mu Beiting never responded to force but to softness! To make him compromise, she could only act sweet and cute! If they clashed head-on, it would end in total destruction.

"No way!" Mu Beiting remained firm with those two decisive words.

But his attitude softened from before.

Ye Anxin nudged Mu Beiting’s arm and continued to coax, "Uncle, I know you’re the best, you wouldn’t want me to regret it for life, right? You wouldn’t want Yueyue to not acknowledge me as a friend, would you? In my twenty years of life, my only close relatives are my mom and dad, Yueyue, and you, Uncle! I truly cherish my friendship with Yueyue!"

Mu Beiting lowered his eyes, his deep gaze stared at Ye Anxin’s little face for a while, then suddenly asked, "You care about her so much?"

Ye Anxin nodded without hesitation, "Yes! I only care about you four! You four are the most important people in my life, each indispensable!"

After speaking, there was a noticeable flash of displeasure in Mu Beiting’s eyes.

"Uncle, Uncle, please agree! Okay?" Seeing Mu Beiting remain silent, Ye Anxin continued to act coquettishly.

Mu Beiting was silent for a while, eventually unable to resist Ye Anxin’s soft persistence, stiffly nodded his agreement.

"I knew you were the best, Uncle! Thank you, Uncle!" Seeing him agree, Ye Anxin happily kissed Mu Beiting’s cheek.

She knew this tactic was foolproof, as long as she acted cute and coaxed him, he would agree to anything for her!

Uncle always had a cold exterior but a soft heart.

......

Ye Anxin thought this matter had passed!

Until————

On the day of Ling Yueyue’s wedding————

After much anticipation, Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo’s wedding day finally arrived.

Today, Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting woke up early and were driven to the wedding chapel by a chauffeur.

Shortly after their arrival, Yan Qinghan and two other young men from Jin City, Xiang Qingshi and Gu Xingchen, also appeared.

Yan Qinghan came up to Ye Anxin and greeted her cheekily, "Hey little sister-in-law! We’re the groomsman and bridesmaid today, our outfits really match! Someone who doesn’t know might think we’re a couple!"

Mu Beiting’s face darkened, lips thin as he coldly spat out two words, "Shut up!"

Ye Anxin rolled her eyes at Yan Qinghan, went up on tiptoe, and whispered in Mu Beiting’s ear, "Uncle, I’m going to the dressing room to find Yueyue!"

Mu Beiting nodded, as Ye Anxin was about to turn and leave, she suddenly froze in place when she saw Ruan Zhitong and Gu Xingchen walk in hand-in-hand.

Today, Gu Xingchen wore a silver-gray suit, and Ruan Zhitong a white strapless floor-length evening dress, her waterfall-like long hair slightly curled, draped over her shoulders. Her face had exquisite makeup, she looked particularly gentle and elegant, with extraordinary grace. Standing next to Gu Xingchen, they were simply a perfect couple.

Yan Qinghan crossed his arms across his chest, grinning, teasing with implication, "Yo, Xingchen, when did you two get together? How come I didn’t know about it? You kept it too secret!"

Ruan Zhitong’s pretty face blushed, shyly lowered her head.

Gu Xingchen’s face was brimming with happiness, he smiled and said, "We’re getting engaged on the tenth of next month, be sure to come!"

"Engaged? You two?" Yan Qinghan and Xiang Qingshi both were stunned, not to mention Xiang Qingshi, even the usually reckless and carefree Yan Qinghan took a while to react.

Gu Xingchen liked Ruan Zhitong, they all knew about this six years ago!

Yet, at that time, Ruan Zhitong and Mu Beiting were all over each other, madly in love, treating Gu Xingchen as just a normal male friend!

A little over a month ago, Ruan Zhitong suddenly returned to the country, they all thought she’d go look for Mu Beiting, to rekindle their old flame!

Unexpectedly, she suddenly announced she was getting engaged to Gu Xingchen?

What’s going on? Six years ago, didn’t Ruan Zhitong and Mu Beiting have such a fiery love?

A month ago, right after returning to the country, she inquired about Mu Beiting’s situation! They thought she still loved Mu Beiting! How come all of a sudden she’s with Gu Xingchen?

Can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out, wracking their brains can’t figure it out.

Ruan Zhitong smiled slightly, her cheeks blushing, softly said, "Yes, Xingchen and I are getting engaged next month on the tenth, you’re all welcome to join!"

On hearing this, Yan Qinghan and Xiang Qingshi shifted their gaze to Mu Beiting.

Ye Anxin stood beside Mu Beiting, watched them look at Mu Beiting, and blinked inexplicably.

Mu Beiting cast a sharp glance, scaring them into immediately looking away.

"Ah, congratulations, congratulations, really congratulations to you!" Yan Qinghan quickly plastered a smile, shook hands with Gu Xingchen and Ruan Zhitong to express his blessings.

"Thank you!" Gu Xingchen and Ruan Zhitong’s faces were filled with happy smiles.

"Congratulations!" Xiang Qingshi also shook hands with them to express his blessings.

An entirely bewildered Ye Anxin also reached out her hand to them, "Mr. Gu, Miss Ruan, truly congratulations to you!"

Looking at her, Ruan Zhitong’s smile became slightly stiff, then resumed as normal, and shook Ye Anxin’s hand in return.

After shaking hands with everyone one by one, Ruan Zhitong came up to Mu Beiting and softly said, "Beiting, aren’t you going to congratulate me?"
