CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23: I’M YOUR HUSBAND!

This realization suddenly made her feel a bit overwhelmed.

Looking at her reddened wrist, Ye Anxin sneaked a glance at him, "Uncle, you’ve wiped it five times already, it’s clean, no need to wipe it again!"

Mu Beiting didn’t even lift his head, he took out another wet wipe from elsewhere and wiped Ye Anxin’s wrist one last time.

The strong smell of alcohol gradually filled the car, Ye Anxin sniffed the wrist that Mu Beiting had wiped and couldn’t help but burst into laughter with a ’pfft’.

Mu Beiting looked at Ye Anxin and asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

Ye Anxin hooked her arm around his, grinning with her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and said cheerfully, "Uncle, isn’t it a bit much? You even carry alcohol wipes with you? Besides, it was just a pinch by someone else; no need to sanitize with alcohol, right? Those two are your friends!"

Mu Beiting’s eyes darkened, warning, "Stay away from them in the future! Especially Huo Junmo!"

Ye Anxin asked in confusion, "Why? Aren’t you good friends?"

Mu Beiting demanded imperiously, "No reason!"

Ye Anxin looked at him with a cheerful grin; she was not only unafraid but also found Mu Beiting, at this moment, just like a child—arrogant and bashful, incredibly cute.

If it were before, seeing him like this would have scared her and made her obediently nod.

But today, no—in fact, at this moment, even though he was still that cold, domineering person, she felt that he wasn’t as aloof as he appeared on the surface.

Seeing Ye Anxin’s meaningful smile, an unusual blush suddenly appeared on Mu Beiting’s tense face! He pursed his lips, awkwardly turned his head aside, and avoided her gaze guiltily.

Seeing him like this, Ye Anxin laughed even more joyfully, resting her head on his arm and snuggling up closer, she asked with a smile, "Uncle, they all say I resemble someone? Who do I look like? Do you know?"

As soon as she asked, Ye Anxin clearly felt Mu Beiting’s arm stiffen!

"Uncle...!" Ye Anxin looked up, puzzled, at him.

Mu Beiting, who was never patient, saw her circling back to this topic, and the rare different expression on his face immediately vanished, angrily saying, "Ask again and you’ll have to get out!"

"I won’t ask, okay?" Ye Anxin pouted and indeed obediently shut her mouth without speaking again.

Ye Anxin hugged Mu Beiting’s arm, rested her head on it, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I want to go back to see my parents first. I was supposed to accompany them to house-hunt today, but I didn’t go, and if I don’t go back now, my mom will worry! Besides, they’re still staying in a hotel now, and all my clothes are with my parents. I’ve been wearing these clothes for two days; I definitely need to change today!"

"I’ll have Pete pick them up for you later!" His implied meaning was clear: she couldn’t go back.

Ye Anxin pouted, stubbornly asking, "Why not? I miss my mom. If she doesn’t see me, she’ll be worried!"

Mu Beiting looked down at Ye Anxin’s delicate face and suddenly said, "I am your husband!"

"So?" Ye Anxin blinked at him, trying to make sense of this seemingly out-of-the-blue statement.

She knew he was her husband! They had just registered their marriage yesterday; how could she forget that!

But, just now they were talking about her parents, so why did he suddenly bring this up?
