Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow in disbelief, "Really?"

Seeing Mu Beiting slowly starting to believe her words, Ye Anxin half-coaxed and half-deceived, "Of course! Women naturally age faster, especially after having children! So, you must find someone older, then the appearance difference won’t be too big! Uncle is so excellent, I’m afraid Uncle might despise me!"

Hearing this, Mu Beiting indeed believed her, touched her face with a smile, and promised, "I will never despise you!"

"Of course not! As long as Uncle won’t leave me, I’ll definitely cling to you for life!" Saying this, she excitedly hugged Mu Beiting’s arm and affectionately rubbed against it.

Seeing this, the look in Mu Beiting’s eyes grew increasingly gentle.

Knowing she had appeased Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin quickly smiled and said, "Uncle, give me your phone!"

Mu Beiting handed over his phone to Ye Anxin without a word.

Ye Anxin took his phone, sent a photo she thought was best to Mu Beiting’s phone via WeChat, and set it as the wallpaper!

After everything was done, she proudly handed the phone to Mu Beiting, bragging, "All done! Uncle, take a look, isn’t it very artistic?"

Mu Beiting lowered his eyes, looked at the photo on the phone’s wallpaper, and his thin lips curved into a nice arc, nodding lightly!

Ye Anxin looked at her masterpiece, satisfied, "On the vast whiteness of snow, only our two footprints, meaning we are destined to walk till the end! Isn’t it romantic?"

Mu Beiting extended his hand, taking the phone Ye Anxin held out, his rough fingers lightly caressing Ye Anxin’s little face on the screen and the footprints of the two people behind them, his eyes full of gentleness and emotion!

Seeing his expression, Ye Anxin tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, "Uncle, let’s go down! You aren’t wearing a jacket, be careful not to catch a cold!"

Earlier, eager to bring him up, she hadn’t noticed he wasn’t wearing a jacket!

It must have been because she hadn’t returned for a long time, and in a hurry, he went to find her without a jacket, not finding her in the bathroom, he was prepared to search elsewhere with worry!

"Mm!" Mu Beiting nodded, holding the phone in one hand, looking at the photo on it, wrapping his other arm around Ye Anxin’s supple waist as they left the rooftop.

Back in the room, Ye Anxin continued to nest on the sofa reading a book on business management, while Mu Beiting resumed his work!

It’s just that, in between working, he would take a glance at the phone on the desk which had long since gone to sleep mode!

.........

In the hospital, Mo Xuehong lay on the bed, slowly opening her eyes, the first thing entering her sight was Qin Muyao’s worried little face.

Seeing her finally awake, Qin Muyao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly anxiously asking, "Mom, how do you feel now? Are you alright?"

"I... what happened to me? Where is this?" Mo Xuehong moved her body, attempting to get up from the bed, but found her whole body felt as if it had been crushed by a vehicle, any slight movement causing her to break out in a cold sweat!

Noticing her expression, Qin Muyao quickly said, "Mom, don’t move! Just now you fainted from the cold at the Mu Group’s entrance, it was the Mu Group’s employees who called an ambulance to bring you here! The doctors here found me through the number saved on your phone! As soon as I heard you were in trouble, I rushed over! How do you feel now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

Mo Xuehong frowned, painfully saying, "It hurts, my whole body aches!"

Qin Muyao said, "The doctor said you were out in the cold wind for too long, so your body definitely feels uncomfortable! You know, when they brought you to the hospital, you had a high fever of 39.8°C, luckily they brought you here early, otherwise your life might not have been saved!"

"I... how did I get a fever?" Mo Xuehong frowned, trying hard to recall!

She remembered, she had been waiting at the Mu Group’s entrance for Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin! She was in the cold wind for a whole morning, later feeling cold and hungry, squatting by the gate of the Mu Group! Then... then she suddenly felt lightheaded, her vision gradually blurred, and then... then she knew nothing!

Qin Muyao asked with concern, "Mom, besides your body aching, is there anywhere else uncomfortable?"

Mo Xuehong seriously felt for a moment, finally shaking her head lightly.

Qin Muyao said, displeased, "Mom, how could you faint like that? Didn’t I tell you? As soon as you see Brother, lower yourself, try to gain his sympathy! He is your biological son, he surely wouldn’t bear seeing you standing in the cold wind! Tell me, did you forget my advice again, acting high and mighty in front of Brother, so Brother was unhappy and wouldn’t forgive you?"

Mo Xuehong, somewhat wronged, said, "I already followed your advice, lowered myself as much as possible, repented and begged for his forgiveness as soon as I saw him! But... but he simply ignored me, didn’t even want to speak to me! And not only that, but I was also sorely mocked by that bitch Ye Anxin! If it were before, I would have exploded! But, remembering what you said, I held it in!"

Listening to Mo Xuehong’s words, Qin Muyao was clearly pensive, muttering to herself, "How could it be? Logically, no son could bear his biological mother waiting in the cold wind for so long?"

Mo Xuehong, helpless and angry, said, "You’re talking about ordinary men, but Mu Beiting is not ordinary! Mu Huajian was right, Mu Beiting is no longer the Mu Beiting of twenty-five years ago, he’s beyond my control! I’m afraid he’s still holding a grudge against me for what I did to him back then, refusing to forgive me!"

Qin Muyao impatiently said, "No matter how different Mu Beiting is, he still came from you, that’s an unchangeable fact!" Just as she finished speaking, she realized her tone had been too harsh, quickly softening her expression, gently saying, "Mom, I didn’t mean anything by it, I’m not blaming you! I’m just worried about you! You’ve done so much for Mu Beiting, and he doesn’t appreciate it, leaving you to freeze in the cold!"

Mo Xuehong lowered her eyes, guilty, "I know! Even if you blame me, it doesn’t matter! It’s my fault, I can’t win Mu Beiting’s forgiveness, can’t help you!"

Qin Muyao quickly comforted, "Mom, don’t blame yourself, this can’t be rushed! Since you’re in the hospital now, let’s make good use of this opportunity! Later, put on a sympathy act, you’ll surely sway Brother and get his forgiveness!"

Mo Xuehong, puzzled, asked, "What do you plan to do?"
