Hearing Mu Beiting’s words and feeling the warm breath blowing by her ear, Ye Anxin’s pretty face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and asked shyly, "What do you mean by only hearing what should be heard? What should be heard?"

"What do you think?" Mu Beiting’s voice was as light as a feather, brushing past Ye Anxin’s ear, gently plucking at her heartstrings!

Ye Anxin’s heart trembled slightly as Mu Beiting opened his mouth, his white teeth gently biting and grinding on her earlobe!

Ye Anxin’s breath hitched, and her small face instantly turned bright red.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, a touch of a scheming success crossed Mu Beiting’s eyes. Smiling comfortably, he said in a hoarse voice, "The water is ready, go take a bath!" With that, he took the bag from her hand, led her into the room together, and hung the bag on the clothes rack before taking Ye Anxin into the bathroom.

Because Ye Anxin was far along in her pregnancy, and pregnant women shouldn’t sit in the bath for long, Mu Beiting bathed her quickly. After washing her thoroughly, he took her out of the bathtub, dried the water off her body with a clean towel, and then dressed her in the pajamas Pete had brought!

After leaving the bathroom, Mu Beiting sat Ye Anxin on the chair, took out a hairdryer, and dried her hair!

He performed all his actions gently and carefully, afraid of causing her any pain!

Once her hair was dry, Mu Beiting let Ye Anxin sit back on the bed!

After Ye Anxin sat on the bed, she gently pushed Mu Beiting and, smiling, said, "Uncle, go take a shower! I’ll wait for you in bed!"

"Mm! If you’re tired, you can go ahead and sleep, no need to wait for me!" Mu Beiting nodded, ruffled her smooth black hair, and turned to enter the bathroom.

With the bathroom door closed, the sound of running water soon came from inside!

Lying on the bed in her pajamas, Ye Anxin looked at the tall figure reflected in the bathroom glass, her lips unconsciously curving into a happy smile!

As she watched, Ye Anxin suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness hit her, her eyelids growing heavier, and unknowingly she closed her eyes and fell asleep!

When Mu Beiting came out of the bathroom, he saw Ye Anxin turned on her side, sleeping soundly in her clothes.

Gazing at Ye Anxin’s sleeping face, Mu Beiting paused in drying his hair, unable to resist sitting down by the bed and stretching out his large hand to gently caress her fair and delicate little face.

Her face was very small, really very small, only as big as his palm. When he placed his hand over it, he could almost envelop her entire face.

Feeling the warmth in his palm, Ye Anxin shifted her head, finding the most comfortable position on his palm, smiling sweetly in her sleep.

Observing her unconscious movements while sleeping, Mu Beiting’s eyes overflowed with tenderness, soft enough to melt.

As Ye Anxin didn’t move her face from his palm, Mu Beiting didn’t pull back either, maintaining that position and letting her sleep on his palm! With the other hand free, he gently wiped the water off his hair to avoid waking her.

After Mu Beiting finished drying his hair, Ye Anxin still hadn’t stirred!

Mu Beiting couldn’t bear to withdraw his hand from her resting head!

After some time, Ye Anxin might have gotten tired of sleeping in the same position. Finally, she turned over and changed her position!

Seeing her back facing him, Mu Beiting went out, turned off the lights in the living room, returned to the room, took off his bathrobe, and lay down next to Ye Anxin, gently unbuttoning her pajamas from behind! Then, he carefully removed her pajamas!

After removing her pajamas, Mu Beiting pulled the covers over both of them, turned down the room’s heating slightly, and then held Ye Anxin, slowly closing his eyes.

Feeling Mu Beiting’s embrace, Ye Anxin, sleeping, felt much more secure, burrowing further into his arms, finding the most comfortable spot to continue sleeping!

Mu Beiting couldn’t help but plant a kiss on her forehead, holding her a little tighter, his warm breath caressing her ear! Shortly after, Mu Beiting also fell into a deep sleep!

......

The next day, when Ye Anxin opened her eyes, it was already past nine in the morning!

At this time, the man who would usually be at the company was lying beside her, holding her body tightly.

Thinking he was still asleep, Ye Anxin moved slightly, intending to get up without waking him! However, just as she moved a bit, Mu Beiting’s deep voice came from above her, "You’re awake?"

"Mm!" Ye Anxin nodded and smiled, asking, "Uncle, what time is it?"

Mu Beiting answered truthfully, "A little past nine, almost ten!"

"Ah...!" Hearing the time, Ye Anxin sat up in bed suddenly. "It’s almost ten. Why are you still at home? Why haven’t you gone to the company?"

Mu Beiting sat up as well, calmly responding, "Nothing is more important than you!"

Hearing this, warmth filled Ye Anxin’s heart, and she said awkwardly, "It’s so late already. How about I go with you to the company?"

Mu Beiting shook his head, "There’s no need! You’re tired today. Let me take you home to rest first, and then I’ll go to the company by myself!"

"Okay!" Ye Anxin was now completely obedient to Mu Beiting’s words!

Because she didn’t want him to worry about her any longer!

"Let’s get up first! I’ll take you out for something to eat and then take you home!" With that, Mu Beiting got out of bed, found the clothes Pete had brought yesterday, and helped Ye Anxin change!

While Ye Anxin was changing clothes, he also put on a clean outfit!

Once both were dressed and groomed, Mu Beiting took Ye Anxin’s hand, ready to leave!

Walking beside Mu Beiting and looking up at his handsome profile, Ye Anxin suddenly stopped, remembering everything that happened yesterday and the day before!

Seeing her suddenly stop, Mu Beiting also couldn’t help but pause, turning back to ask with concern, "What’s wrong? Why did you stop?"

"Uncle, I... I have something to tell you! I originally planned to keep it hidden, pretending I didn’t know! But... you’re so good to me, I really can’t bear to hide it from you, and I don’t want to deceive you! I...!" At this point, Ye Anxin choked up and couldn’t continue!

Taking in all her expressions, Mu Beiting reached out, gently brushing under her eyes to wipe away the tears on her lashes, unconcerned, saying, "You don’t have to! If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it! A well-intentioned lie doesn’t count as deceit! I don’t care, and I don’t mind!"

Ye Anxin shook her head, her emotions agitated, "But I mind! I originally thought I could pretend nothing happened... but it did happen! Avoidance can’t solve problems! Many things, if not confessed, will leave shadows in our hearts!"
