Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 418 - 419: Deep Bond Between Father and Son
So, does this mean she is now in the master bedroom, not the guest room?
She was clearly sleeping in the guest room. When did she move to the master bedroom?
Could it be that...?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Anxin’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Mu Beiting, last night, did you take advantage of my sleep to sneakily carry me over here?"
Mu Beiting remained silent, his thin lips pressed into a line.
To Ye Anxin, his expression was an undeniable admission!
Ye Anxin gritted her teeth in anger, "Mu Beiting, why did you do this? What right did you have to move me without my permission?"
Mu Beiting still did not speak, offering no explanation.
Seeing that Mu Beiting seemed determined not to answer, Ye Anxin decided not to waste words with him. She intended to leave the room to collect her clothes from the guest room! But after taking just two steps, she stopped, as if remembering something. She tiptoed, leaned her neck out the window, and looked toward the guest room!
The master bedroom and the guest room she slept in last night were next to each other, with the same orientation and layout, so the windows of both rooms were adjacent.
She remembered that when she was looking for clothes earlier, she’d looked to the side, but did not see any clothes hanging outside any window!
As expected, when Ye Anxin stuck her neck out, she indeed did not see her clothes hanging outside the nearby window.
Not seeing the clothes, Ye Anxin’s heart immediately sank, and she had no choice but to press Mu Beiting further, "Mu Beiting, where are my clothes?"
Mu Beiting remained unfazed, replying blandly, "I don’t know!"
"You...!" Ye Anxin was so infuriated she wanted to explode, but after thinking it over, she held back!
Carefully contemplating, Ye Anxin, in a moment of hope, opened the wardrobe door!
As soon as she opened it, the wardrobe full of clothes immediately appeared before her!
In the wardrobe were both men’s and women’s clothes! However, the men’s clothes were just a small portion; most of them were women’s clothes!
And all these clothes were ones she wore five years ago!
She thought that after she left, Mu Beiting would surely throw away all the clothes! She didn’t expect that all the clothes would still be in the wardrobe!
Moreover, the clothes seemed well-preserved, not at all discolored or dirty from being unworn for a long time.
Seeing the wardrobe full of clothes, Ye Anxin felt an indescribable sensation in her heart!
Regarding Mu Beiting, she truly did not understand him anymore! What was he thinking? If he didn’t love her, why keep her things?
This thought flashed through her mind, but Ye Anxin didn’t dwell on it. She found a set of underwear, then took out a white T-shirt and three-quarter-length jeans, and then went into the bathroom to quickly change into them.
When Ye Anxin came out of the bathroom, Mu Beiting was still sitting on the bed, with his eyes fixed on the bathroom door, seemingly pondering something!
Ye Anxin had no time to bother with him and directly opened the door, heading toward Xiao Bai’s room.
When she opened the door to Xiao Bai’s room, it was empty!
Ye Anxin felt a surge of worry, hurriedly ran downstairs, grabbed a servant at random, and anxiously asked, "Where’s the young master? Do you know where he is?"
The servant answered truthfully, "The young master? He’s taking a walk in the garden with the butler!"
"Oh!" Hearing that Xiao Bai was safe and sound, Ye Anxin immediately let out a sigh of relief, then walked step by step to the door, stretching her neck to look at Xiao Bai sitting in the garden swing. Her hanging heart finally settled down.
Ye Anxin hid behind the door for a moment, contemplating, then stepped outside, walking toward Xiao Bai!
The butler, who had been standing beside Xiao Bai, saw Ye Anxin approaching and hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Madam, you’re awake! Did you sleep well last night?"
At the mention of sleeping, Ye Anxin unintentionally recalled the scene when she woke up this morning. Her pretty face involuntarily blushed, and she said awkwardly, "I slept very well!"
Hearing this, the butler smiled with a knowing look, "It’s good if you slept well!"
Ye Anxin didn’t sense the implication in the butler’s words at all and asked, "How is the young master? What did the doctor say? When did he wake up?"
The butler smiled and said, "The young master woke up at four o’clock last night! Then he slept a little more and got up at six this morning! The family doctor checked him just now, his fever’s gone, and two more days of IV drips should do it!"
Ye Anxin covered her mouth, coughed awkwardly twice, and stammered, "But... wasn’t Mu Beiting with the young master last night? Why... why did he leave in the middle of the night?"
The butler casually said, "The young master woke up at four and told Mr. Mu to go back to rest! So, he went back to his room!"
"Oh!" Ye Anxin absentmindedly nodded to show she understood.
The butler merely looked at Ye Anxin’s awkward face, smiled slightly, and winked at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai, with a calm little face, slightly nodded! A trace of triumph flashed in his cold eyes!
After finishing her conversation with the butler, Ye Anxin walked up to Xiao Bai, squatted down to look at him at eye level, and reached out to touch his face.
However, before her hand could touch Xiao Bai’s face, he frowned and dodged away.
Ye Anxin’s hand froze in mid-air for a while, before slowly retracting it!
Ye Anxin forced a smile, suppressing the pain in her heart, and softly said, "Xiao Bai, how are you feeling today? Is there anywhere uncomfortable? Do you want the doctor to check on you again?"
Xiao Bai stared at Ye Anxin for a moment, pursed his lips, and coldly said, "I don’t know you, and I don’t need your concern!"
Hearing his distant words, Ye Anxin felt a pang of heartache.
But she could say nothing and do nothing!
Catching Ye Anxin’s undisguised disappointment, a hint of reluctance flashed deep in Xiao Bai’s eyes, his mouth opened slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
Just then, Mu Beiting’s voice arrived from not far away, "Xiao Bai!"
Upon hearing Mu Beiting’s voice, the expression on Xiao Bai’s face immediately changed. He smiled and looked toward Mu Beiting, "Daddy, you’re here!"
"Your cold hasn’t fully recovered, you need more rest! Come, I’ll carry you inside!" Mu Beiting walked up to Xiao Bai and extended his arms.
Xiao Bai climbed up Mu Beiting’s arm and onto him! Mu Beiting then smoothly lifted him up.
Held in Mu Beiting’s arms, Xiao Bai obediently rested his face against his chest.
Mu Beiting affectionately patted his head, without even glancing at Ye Anxin, directly carrying him inside.
Watching the strong father-son bond, Ye Anxin felt mixed emotions, indescribable bitterness. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
If she had been with Xiao Bai during those five years, Xiao Bai wouldn’t be so distant from her, and perhaps he’d cling to her just as he clings to Mu Beiting!
But unfortunately, there are no regrets in this world; what’s missed is missed! The relationship between her and Xiao Bai may never become as close as it is with Mu Beiting!
