After Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin, and Xiao Bai washed their hands and sat down at the dining table, the butler instructed the maids to uncover the dishes!

Because the weather was too cold, after dinner, the family of three went to the study to read for a while, and then each went to their room to rest!

The next day, the snow did not stop, instead, it snowed even more!

When Ye Anxin got up and opened the curtains, the first thing that came into her view was a vast expanse of white, with all the flowers and plants in the garden outside covered with a thick layer of snow!

Since they lived halfway up the mountain, except for the people in the villa, there were practically no people around!

So, no one had spoiled the beautiful scenery in front of them, and there were no footprints on the snow-covered ground! The maids had gone out to buy groceries before dawn, and the surfaces they’d walked on had been covered with snow again!

Looking at the beautiful scene outside the window, Ye Anxin excitedly washed up and then went downstairs to find Mu Beiting!

Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai were sitting on the sofa as usual, watching financial news! Seeing her come downstairs, they went together to help her down.

Ye Anxin excitedly said, "Uncle, the snow outside is really big!"

Mu Beiting nodded, "Yeah! Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?"

"Yes!" Ye Anxin nodded vigorously and held Xiao Bai’s hand, saying, "Xiao Bai, how about mom taking you to the yard to build snowmen later?"

After hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Xiao Bai pouted disdainfully, "Boring, childish! I’m not going to play childish games!"

"...!" Ye Anxin was stunned, and all her enthusiasm instantly vanished with Xiao Bai’s provocation!

Mu Beiting shot a warning glance at Xiao Bai, took Ye Anxin’s hand, and led her to the dining room, "Ignore him! Let’s go have breakfast! After eating, come with me to the company!"

"Uncle, is it really boring and childish?" Forced by her son, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but start reflecting!

Is she really that boring, really that childish?

Being told boring and childish by a five-year-old is indeed quite a blow!

Mu Beiting indifferently said, "What doesn’t he find boring and childish?"

Ye Anxin said in grievance, "But he never said that about me? When I took him to the amusement park to play before, he only said it was for kids and that he wasn’t interested! He never said I was boring or childish before! Being told this by my son, I feel really upset!"

Mu Beiting soothed her face and said, "It’s okay, later I’ll help you teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing that Mu Beiting wanted to hit Xiao Bai, Ye Anxin hurriedly objected, "No, he’s still young, you can’t hit children for no reason, you have to reason with him!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright, I won’t hit him! Let’s eat!" Saying that, he seated Ye Anxin in her place and then sat down in the main seat himself.

Xiao Bai followed them, watching his dad listen to mom with full obedience, completely acting like a henpecked husband, disdainfully pouting with eyes full of contempt!

In the past, he thought his dad was domineering and cool, practically his idol! But now? He’s been tamed by his own wife to be totally submissive! He’s growing further from the lofty and sacred image Xiao Bai had in mind! If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t let this happen! No matter what, he would make his wife listen to him and follow his orders!

Seeing all of Xiao Bai’s expressions, Mu Beiting narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Aren’t you going to apologize to your mom yet!"

Even though in his heart he despised his dad’s obedience to his mom, being looked at by Mu Beiting like that, Xiao Bai still lowered his head in fear and immediately apologized to Ye Anxin, "Mom, I’m sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said you’re childish and boring!"

Ye Anxin quickly smiled, "It’s okay, it’s okay, mommy doesn’t blame you! Let’s eat breakfast!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Bai nodded obediently and sat down in his seat!

After the three of them had breakfast, as usual, Xiao Bai went upstairs to study with Teacher Luo, while Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting took the car to the company!

Since it was a mountain road and difficult to navigate in the snow, the driver drove very slowly and carefully all the way, fearing any accident might happen!

So, when they arrived at Mu Group, they were a full hour later than usual!

As usual, the driver dropped Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting off at the company entrance and then drove to the underground passage by himself!

Mu Beiting held Ye Anxin’s hand tightly as they walked toward the company!

They hadn’t walked far when Ye Anxin’s expression noticeably froze upon seeing Mo Xuehong standing at the company entrance!

Mo Xuehong was wearing the same clothes and hat as yesterday! The wind and snow were stronger today, blowing her frail body into constant trembling and shivering! Her hair exposed outside the hat was entirely covered with snow, sticking messily to her face, even on her lips! Her whole appearance looked even more disheveled than yesterday.

Seeing Mo Xuehong, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but stop in her tracks!

Mu Beiting glanced indifferently, then continued walking toward the company as if nothing had happened, pulling Ye Anxin along.

Mo Xuehong, who had been standing at the door, keeping an eye on the situation, saw Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin getting out of the car! As they approached, she walked stiffly towards them!

"Beiting...!" Mo Xuehong tentatively called, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed into a line, as if he hadn’t heard her call at all, he continued to walk forward!

Although the snow at the company entrance had been swept away, due to the low temperature, a thin layer of ice had formed on the ground. Afraid that Ye Anxin might slip by accident, Mu Beiting walked slowly and carefully!

When they reached the company entrance, Mo Xuehong also happened to walk up!

Mo Xuehong trembled as she spoke, her voice shaking, "Beiting... I was hospitalized, why didn’t you come to see me? Do you know how much I miss you?"

Mu Beiting ignored her, not even bothering to glance at her.

"I... I caught a high fever because I stood here frozen for so long yesterday. All night long, I was hoping you would come see me! But, I waited and waited, with my eyes open from yesterday until this morning, you never came! Do you know how sad and disappointed I am? We’re mother and son, why have things become like this? Do you know I was alone in the emergency room yesterday, everyone else had family accompanying and taking care of them, but I didn’t even have anyone visit me! There wasn’t even anyone to pour me a glass of water!" Mo Xuehong held back her physical discomfort, pouring out all the prepared words in one breath.

Before coming today, she had specially called her darling daughter! And these words were all taught by her darling daughter!

Her darling daughter said she must try her best to elicit Mu Beiting’s sympathy, make him feel for her, make him pity her!
