CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: MY WORDS ARE ORDERS!

Hearing Mu Beiting bring it up, Ye Anxin suddenly remembered what had happened that morning and came to a sudden realization, "Uncle, you’re talking about this morning! Haha... If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten!" She said, scratching her head embarrassedly, and continued, "Uncle, you misunderstood me! I didn’t intentionally go to see that Huo Junmo. It was just that a little kid suddenly ran over this morning saying he was lost! I was afraid he might be taken by traffickers, so I agreed to help him find his dad! I didn’t expect his dad to be Huo Junmo. So, I didn’t deliberately disobey you, it was all just a coincidence!"

"A coincidence?" Mu Beiting snorted coldly, disdain evident in his voice, "Huo Junmo’s son? The young master of Huo Tian Group got lost?"

Ye Anxin blinked, not understanding, and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Mu Beiting didn’t answer her, shifting the conversation back to his original demand, "Remember what I said, stay away from Huo Junmo and Huo Jiantian in the future!"

Seeing Mu Beiting’s firm attitude, Ye Anxin’s curiosity only grew. She moved closer to him instinctively, holding onto his arm, and asked curiously, "Uncle, why do you keep telling me to stay away from Huo Junmo? Isn’t he your good buddy? Does he mean to harm me?"

Mu Beiting furrowed his brow, but didn’t shake off her hand from his arm, replying dominantly and forcefully, "No reason. You just need to listen to me!"

"But...!" Ye Anxin also furrowed her brows!

By nature, she’s soft and doesn’t like arguing or debating with people! As long as it doesn’t violate her moral bottom line, she’ll usually agree without much resistance!

So, yesterday, when Mu Beiting told her to stay away from Huo Junmo and Gu Xingchen, she had agreed right away.

But today, Mu Beiting’s strong stance only piqued her curiosity!

She just didn’t understand, even though they were good friends, good brothers, why did he want her to stay away from them? Were they really out to hurt her?

"No buts, my words are commands!" Seeing that Ye Anxin wouldn’t listen, Mu Beiting shook her hand off his arm, stood up, and headed straight upstairs.

"Uncle, why are you being so unreasonable! I can promise you not to see Huo Junmo, but at least you have to tell me why, right? They don’t seem like bad people!" Ye Anxin also stood up and quickly followed after him.

"It’s an order, no reason!" Mu Beiting coldly tossed the words out, opening the study door and shutting it forcefully, locking Ye Anxin out once again.

Ye Anxin leaned on the door, weakly patting it in defeat, "Uncle, can we just talk? Open the door! Don’t be mad, can’t we just agree?"

Unfortunately, like the night before, she was met with silence.

Ye Anxin sighed, stood outside for a little while, and seeing that Mu Beiting had no intention of coming out, she reluctantly returned to her room.

It was Saturday, and today Ye Anxin got up early. After getting herself ready, she left the house without even having breakfast.

An hour after Ye Anxin left, Mu Beiting returned from his morning run, showered in the study’s bathroom, changed his clothes, and went downstairs for breakfast.

However, he sat at the table for a long while, not touching his food, occasionally glancing toward the stairs, as if waiting for something.

The butler looked at him, hesitantly calling, "Sir...!"

Mu Beiting said plainly, "Go call Madam down for breakfast!"
