CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97: COOKING

Since Ling Yueyue got injured, Ye Anxin skipped her afternoon classes and brought Ling Yueyue to her rented apartment!

After letting Ling Yueyue lie down, she went to the nearby supermarket to buy some groceries to cook and make soup for her.

"Yueyue, how are you feeling now? Does your head still hurt?" After bustling around for more than two hours, Ling Yueyue, who had been in a deep sleep, finally awoke. Ye Anxin quickly poured her a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table, then sat on the edge of the bed, ready to help her sit up.

Ling Yueyue promptly got up from the bed and pushed Ye Anxin’s hand away, saying irritably, "Oh come on, it’s just a bump on the head! It’s not like I’m crippled—it’s not that serious! I feel much better after sleeping; I’m fine, I can manage on my own!"

Ye Anxin asked uncertainly, "Are you really okay? I saw that your face didn’t look good just now."

"My face looked bad earlier because I was dizzy, but after a nap, I really feel much better! Haven’t you noticed I’ve got the energy to talk now?" Thinking Ye Anxin might not believe her, Ling Yueyue jumped off and even bounced a couple of times deliberately.

Seeing her lively again, Ye Anxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good to hear!"

Ling Yueyue nudged Ye Anxin towards the door, urging her, "All right, all right, I don’t need anyone to take care of me. Go ahead, do what you need to do! I can handle it myself!"

Ye Anxin was still a bit worried and asked, "Are you sure you don’t need me here to take care of you?"

"No need, you’ve already put the soup on the stove for me. I just need to turn off the heat. Didn’t you say you had plans tonight? I won’t hold you up; go do your thing!" Although her head was bumped, she clearly remembered Ye Anxin telling Huo Junmo earlier that she had plans tonight! She certainly didn’t want her to miss important things to take care of her.

Ye Anxin said firmly, "Are you really okay? If you’re really feeling unwell, I can postpone my plans for tonight!"

Ling Yueyue shook her head and said confidently, "I’m fine, really fine. If you keep nagging, I’m going to get annoyed!"

Ye Anxin glanced her over; although her complexion wasn’t as rosy as before, her eyes had regained their sparkle. So she said, "Okay, then I’ll leave now. If you feel unwell or anything happens, call me right away—I’ll be there as soon as possible!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t be polite with you!" Ling Yueyue nodded solemnly, and only then did she see Ye Anxin off.

After leaving Ling Yueyue’s place, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. School had let out, so Ye Anxin took out her phone and dialed Mu Beiting.

Mu Beiting, who was discussing business with Pete, heard his phone ring, glanced at his wristwatch, and with eyes slightly moved, picked up the phone and answered it.

The moment the call connected, Ye Anxin’s sweet voice came from the other side, "Uncle, are you busy?"

Mu Beiting’s lips moved slightly, and he replied calmly, "It’s okay!"

Ye Anxin said cheerfully, "I’m on my way home now. I wanted to ask, what would you like to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you myself!"

Mu Beiting’s eyes flickered, "There are servants at home!"

Ye Anxin said, "Uncle, your hand hasn’t fully healed yet. I want to cook for you myself!"

"..." Mu Beiting remained silent, his deep eyes unreadable.

Seeing Mu Beiting fall silent, Ye Anxin asked uncertainly, "Uncle, are you listening to me?"

"Yes," Mu Beiting replied faintly.

Ye Anxin deliberately said, "Uncle, tell me, what do you like to eat? If you don’t say, I’ll just go pick something at random! If I end up buying things you don’t like, don’t blame me!"
