Just as Ye Anxin was about to return to the sofa to continue reading, the red figure appeared again at the entrance of the Mu Group!

Just like before, she paced back and forth, kept blowing into her cupped hands, and jumped a couple of times for warmth when she couldn’t stand the cold anymore!

After casting a complicated glance at her, Ye Anxin returned to the sofa to sit and read!

After reading for a while, she would go to the floor-to-ceiling window to take a look!

This repeated several times, and Mo Xuehong still hadn’t left the entrance of the Mu Group.

Until lunchtime, Mu Beiting had temporarily finished all his work, put away the documents on his desk, walked to Ye Anxin standing by the window, and softly said, "It’s lunchtime, let’s eat first!"

Ye Anxin looked up at him, "What should we have for lunch?"

Mu Beiting said, "You decide!"

"...!" Ye Anxin tilted her head, thought carefully for a while, then smiled and said, "The weather is so cold, how about we have hotpot? It’s been a long time since we last had it, and I’ve really wanted it!"

"Okay!" Mu Beiting nodded, then took down the coat hanging up and put it on, then helped Ye Anxin with her coat and said, "Alright, let’s go!"

"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded, and with Mu Beiting arm in arm, they left the office and took the elevator.

When they walked out of the Mu Group, Ye Anxin instinctively searched for Mo Xuehong’s figure!

Sure enough, not far from the entrance of the Mu Group, Mo Xuehong’s body was curled into a ball from the cold, her delicately made-up face turned blue and purple from freezing, lips bloodlessly pale! On her coat and hat, a thick layer of snow covered her, making her look extremely disheveled!

In Ye Anxin’s heart, Mo Xuehong had always been arrogant and domineering! This was the first time she had seen her in such a sorry state.

Mo Xuehong seemed entirely numb from the cold, and only after a while did she stiffly turn her neck to see Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin.

Seeing them, delight flashed across her face; she wanted to come over but because she was too hasty, a misstep led her to fall to the ground just as she turned!

Seeing her fall to the ground, Ye Anxin was startled and instinctively wanted to help her up but was stopped by Mu Beiting.

Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting, puzzled, "Uncle?"

"Let’s go!" Mu Beiting said coldly, not looking at Mo Xuehong at all, holding Ye Anxin’s hand as they continued walking forward! They dared not walk too fast due to the snow underfoot!

Seeing them about to leave, Mo Xuehong hastily got up from the ground, stumbled in front of Mu Beiting, blocked his way, and said in a trembling voice, "Beiting, I truly realized my mistake! I just reflected well on it, and Anxin is right; from childhood to now, I was never a competent mother! I owe you so much! I feel very sad and guilty in my heart! If you blame me and don’t forgive me, I don’t blame you! I just want to stay by your side and take good care of you!"

Mu Beiting acted as if he hadn’t heard her words at all, looking indifferently ahead, holding Ye Anxin’s hand, about to leave.

"Beiting...!" Mo Xuehong spread her arms again, blocked his path, eyes red, choking, "Beiting, if you don’t forgive me, I’ll keep waiting here until you do!"

Mu Beiting didn’t say a word, not even bothering to reach and push her away first, directly taking Ye Anxin around her and walking toward the hotpot restaurant across the street!

This time, Mo Xuehong did not try to stop them again, but watched them disappear across the street. Her hands by her sides couldn’t help but clench into fists!

Playing the sympathy card, playing the sympathy card! In any case, she had to persist!

Just now, she was so cold that she almost left! Just when she was about to leave, her beloved daughter called, telling her to persist no matter what! Moreover, to linger where Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin could see her, letting them know she was always waiting here!

So, after her daughter’s call, she kept jumping around that spot in front of the Mu Group, just so Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin in the CEO’s office could see her!

All children absolutely cannot endure parents using the sympathy card!

As long as she persists, keeping her vigil here, Mu Beiting is bound to soften! Now she can only hope that Mu Beiting will soon see her remorse, forgive her quickly, so she won’t have to stand here any longer!

Because it’s really cold, and she is so hungry! It feels like all her bones have frozen, even the slightest movement makes her as stiff as a robot!

Still, even so, she can’t leave, can’t go eat, replenish energy and warmth, but can only keep standing here, filled with longing!

Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting sat by the window at the hotpot restaurant! They could enjoy hotpot while enjoying the snowy scenery outside.

And where they sat happened to face the entrance of the Mu Group, so close that they could see Mo Xuehong standing at the entrance of the Mu Group very clearly!

Watching Mo Xuehong’s body nearly blown away by the strong wind, Ye Anxin felt an indescribable feeling inside!

Seeing her expression clearly, Mu Beiting frowned, unhappy, and said, "Let’s change places!"

Ye Anxin asked puzzled, "Why?"

Mu Beiting pursed his lips, "I just want you to have a happy lunch!"

Hearing this, Ye Anxin understood his intention, hurriedly smiled, and said, "Uncle, you’re overthinking! I’m not unhappy! Just... just feel weird, a feeling I can’t describe!"

Mu Beiting frowned and asked, "What kind of feeling?"

"I can’t say! I feel Mo Xuehong is both pitiful and hateful! Thinking about how she used to treat you, Uncle, I feel upset and unjust for you! But now, seeing her like this, I feel a bit sorry for her too!" Ye Anxin didn’t know what was happening to her!

She knew she shouldn’t sympathize with Mo Xuehong because Mo Xuehong really didn’t deserve pity!

But no matter who it is standing in the cold wind and snow all morning, looking like they are going to freeze to death, they seem so pitiful!

Mu Beiting said expressionlessly, "Pitiful people always have detestable sides!"

Ye Anxin nodded in agreement and said, "Mm! I know! So... that’s why I feel weird, it’s pretty conflicting inside!"

At this moment, the hotpot was boiling up, Mu Beiting put the vegetables into the pot to blanch, then picked them up for Ye Anxin, softly saying, "Stop overthinking, hurry eat! Don’t starve!"

"Oh!" Ye Anxin nodded, lowering her head to eat the vegetables Mu Beiting put in her bowl, while still couldn’t help but look outside at Mo Xuehong!

At this moment, Mo Xuehong was locking herself on the side of the Mu Group’s door, her originally petite body curled up into a ball, shivering from the extreme cold.
