"Then I’ll help serve the dishes!" Hearing that the food was ready to eat, the servant standing at the kitchen door hurried in to help Mo Xuehong carry the dishes that had already been arranged.

Taking advantage of the servant carrying the dishes out, Mo Xuehong hurriedly threw the crumpled paper in her hand into the water to dissolve it, and then threw it into the trash can. To avoid being discovered, she deliberately overturned the trash can slightly, covering the dissolved paper with other garbage underneath.

After confirming that the paper ball wouldn’t be discovered, Mo Xuehong washed her hands and helped the servant carry the finished food out.

By the time they had brought all the food out, Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin, and Xiao Bai had already washed their hands and were sitting at the dining table, picking up their chopsticks and starting to eat.

Seeing the three of them eating all the food in their bowls without any guard, a hint of smugness flashed in Mo Xuehong’s eyes, and an involuntary sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Feeling so pleased, she hadn’t even had time to retract her smile when sharp-eyed Xiao Bai noticed it.

Xiao Bai frowned and asked displeasedly, "What are you smiling at?"

Mo Xuehong hurriedly explained, "Nothing! I’m just happy to see you all enjoying the food I cooked!"

"It’s awful! If I weren’t so hungry, I wouldn’t even eat it!" Xiao Bai pouted, saying this while elegantly shoving food into his mouth.

Ye Anxin chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, Xiao Bai’s always been like this, spoiled by his dad since he was little. Don’t take it to heart!"

Mo Xuehong said indifferently, "It’s alright! Kids are like that, I won’t mind! You should eat quickly! After you finish, go upstairs to rest. You’ve been out all day and must be tired! Don’t tire out the baby!"

After spending some time together, Mo Xuehong had long since grown accustomed to this feigned cordiality. Even if she didn’t like Ye Anxin, she could completely hide it and coexist peacefully.

"Hmm!" Ye Anxin nodded.

During this period, Mo Xuehong always ate with the servants after they finished eating!

Initially, she would pretend to invite them to eat with her, but after Xiao Bai insisted a few times, she stopped bothering! Most importantly, she didn’t want to share a table with Mo Xuehong!

Sitting together with someone you find loathsome and pretending there’s no animosity is revolting to even think about.

After dinner, Ye Anxin accompanied Xiao Bai to the study to read. But soon after they started, she couldn’t help yawning.

Xiao Bai was yawning repeatedly too, looking drowsy.

Seeing Xiao Bai’s heavy eyelids nearly shut, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Bai, are you tired today? Maybe we should stop reading and go to bed instead!"

Xiao Bai nodded, gave another big yawn, "Yeah! Mama, I’m so sleepy, I want to go to bed first!"

"Alright! Mama will take you to your room!" Saying this, she stood up but had barely taken a couple of steps when her legs went weak, her body wobbled, almost fainting to the ground, luckily caught swiftly by the sharp-eyed Mu Beiting.

Mu Beiting frowned in concern and asked tensely, "What’s wrong with you?"

Ye Anxin shook her head vigorously to clear her mind a bit, sleepily replied, "Nothing, maybe I’m just really tired today, feeling sleepy!"

"I’ll carry you back to the room!" Hearing this, Mu Beiting bent down to carry Ye Anxin in his arms like a princess, took big strides back to the room, took off her outer coat without even showering, and gently placed her on the bed.

As soon as Ye Anxin’s head touched the pillow, she immediately closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Mu Beiting tucked her in, then returned to the study, only to find that Xiao Bai, who was standing earlier, had now collapsed back into the chair behind the desk, hands sprawled over the desk as he slept.

Mu Beiting frowned, picked Xiao Bai up from the chair, carried him back to his room, undressed him, put him in bed, then went to the bathroom to get a basin of warm water, wiped Xiao Bai’s hands and face clean before tucking him in, then turned to leave and returned to his own room.

After returning to his room, Mu Beiting initially planned to take a shower before going to bed, but as he reached the wardrobe, a sudden dizziness hit him, his tall body wobbled, and he quickly leaned on the wardrobe to steady himself, shook his head vigorously until his mind cleared a bit, then took off his coat to hang it up, climbed into bed, pulled up the covers, and soon a sound of even breathing could be heard.

This was the first time since their marriage that Mu Beiting didn’t hold Ye Anxin while sleeping. They slept deeply on opposite sides.

Time quietly passed, the night grew darker, the servants gradually went to bed, the entire villa fell into a deathly stillness!

It wasn’t until midnight that Mo Xuehong’s door opened a crack. Mo Xuehong peered out through the crack for a while, seeing that it was pitch black outside and no one was around, she then opened the door and quietly stepped out holding three clean glass bottles.

As Mo Xuehong walked, she kept looking around, afraid someone might discover her actions.

Fortunately, when she reached the master bedroom door, there was still no one around!

Mo Xuehong placed her hand lightly on the door, gave it a gentle push, and the door opened!

Since Mu Beiting was sleeping so soundly, he hadn’t had time to turn off the room lights, so when Mo Xuehong opened the door, she could see everything clearly inside.

Standing at the door, Mo Xuehong saw Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin sleeping deeply on the bed. She hurried in, closed the door, and went to the bedside, gently nudging Ye Anxin’s arm, "Anxin, Anxin... wake up... Anxin!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much she nudged or called, Ye Anxin didn’t respond at all, nor did Mu Beiting beside her.

Seeing that they wouldn’t wake no matter what, she hurriedly pulled out a small knife from her pocket, knelt down, took Ye Anxin’s hand from under the quilt, opened the bottle lid, and forcefully made a long cut on it, then pressed the bottle mouth against Ye Anxin’s wound, squeezing her wound hard, collecting every drop of her blood into the clean glass bottle.

Mo Xuehong kept squeezing for a long time until the transparent little glass bottle was seven-tenths full before binding Ye Anxin’s wound with tape.

Then she took out the marker pen in her pocket, wrote Ye Anxin’s name on the glass bottle.

After collecting Ye Anxin’s blood, Mo Xuehong moved to the other side of the bed, knelt down, and cut open Mu Beiting’s hand to collect his blood similarly! Then wrote Mu Beiting’s name!

After collecting both Ye Anxin’s and Mu Beiting’s blood, Mo Xuehong took the little glass bottle to Xiao Bai’s room.

Using the same method, she collected Xiao Bai’s blood!
