CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: IN A BAD MOOD

Mu Beiting’s eyes darkened. He originally planned to ignore the call, but was worried about delaying the meeting, so he pulled out his phone. Just as he was about to hang up, he saw the name displayed on the screen and paused for a moment. Finally, he answered the call and stood up to leave the meeting room.

As Mu Beiting rose to take the call, everyone present gasped in disbelief. They looked at each other in shock, as if discovering a new world, eager to know who the caller was that dared to make their CEO break his own rules.

Compared to their astonishment, Pete remained much more composed!

From the moment Mu Beiting answered the phone, he knew for certain—the caller must be their CEO’s wife!

Because aside from the CEO’s wife, no one else could affect their CEO’s heart.

Outside the meeting room, Mu Beiting held the phone to his ear, listening to Ye Anxin’s sweet voice on the other end, and the stiff lines of his face gradually softened.

Ye Anxin held a book in one hand and the phone in the other, filled with apology, "Uncle, I have something to do tonight and can’t bring you soup. Remember to ask Brother Pete to buy you a serving from outside!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s face tightened, and the expression that had softened was now taut again.

Even though they weren’t face to face, Ye Anxin could sense Mu Beiting’s displeasure from the other end of the line! She quickly apologized repeatedly, "Uncle, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. It wasn’t intentional. Something came up last minute. I promise, no matter what happens tomorrow, I won’t care. I’ll definitely go home and make black fish soup for you, okay?"

Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips together, refusing to speak.

Seeing Mu Beiting consistently ignoring her, Ye Anxin asked unsurely, "Uncle, did you hear what I said?"

"Mm!" After a good while, Mu Beiting finally responded.

Ye Anxin softly said, "Uncle, please don’t be mad at me, okay? I didn’t know something would come up last minute. No matter what happens tomorrow, I’ll make soup for you and visit you at the hospital!"

Mu Beiting remained silent.

"Uncle, Uncle...! Don’t be mad. If you’re mad, it’ll upset me!" Seeing Mu Beiting remain silent, Ye Anxin started regretting having agreed to Huo Jiantian so readily.

She should have asked Mu Beiting first, waited for his agreement, then agreed!

However, she had already agreed, and Huo Jiantian was standing by her side. If she refused now, she would offend both sides, pleasing neither.

Seeing Mu Beiting consistently silent, Ye Anxin had no choice but to keep on apologizing and appeasing him over the phone.

After quite a while, Mu Beiting finally let out another "Mm" on the other end of the line.

Seeing Mu Beiting finally agree, Ye Anxin breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, Uncle, I knew you were the best! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come to the hospital to see you tomorrow!"

"Okay!" This time, Mu Beiting responded quickly.

Ye Anxin, afraid Mu Beiting would get upset again, tentatively asked, "So, should I hang up now?"

"Mm!" Mu Beiting replied indifferently.

Only then did Ye Anxin contentedly hang up the call.

When Mu Beiting returned to the meeting hall after hanging up, the temperature in the conference room instantly dropped several degrees.

Although Mu Beiting’s expression remained unchanged, everyone could sense that he was now in a bad mood, seemingly even quite terrible.

Everything was fine at the start of the meeting, but why did it change after taking one phone call? For a moment, everyone began to privately guess who had called Mu Beiting!

They were very curious about who had such great skill to affect their BOSS’s mood!
