And she finally understood why Uncle had such a severe cleanliness obsession!

It was entirely the shadow of his childhood, entirely thanks to Mo Xuehong!

"Uncle, it’s all in the past! Don’t be sad!" At this moment, besides comforting Mu Beiting like this, Ye Anxin didn’t know how else to console him!

All these painful memories came rushing back to Uncle’s already forgotten mind because of Mo Xuehong’s appearance!

If it weren’t for Mo Xuehong’s sudden appearance, she wouldn’t have known that Uncle’s childhood was far more painful than she imagined! If she had lived in that environment like Uncle’s, she might have been tortured to death long ago, how could she have the strength to live to now and become a person above the rest!

Although she had a father like Ye Shan, she had a mother who loved her!

And Uncle had neither the love of a father nor a mother since he was young, and he had to face so many crises around him! How did he manage to live through those thirty years before meeting her!

She really hated Mo Xuehong now, why, after abandoning Uncle back then, did she come back to disturb their peaceful life now!

Does she have to hurt Uncle to be able to live? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Mu Beiting was silent for a long while before speaking again with a hoarse voice, "The greatest happiness of my life is marrying you, having Xiao Bai! Promise me, no matter what happens, don’t leave me! I... can’t lose you! Otherwise... I... I won’t be able to hold on!" Saying this, his arms holding Ye Anxin tightened unconsciously! If Ye Anxin wasn’t pregnant, he would definitely let her body press tightly against his! Only that way could he truly feel her presence!

"Don’t worry! I will never leave you!" Ye Anxin lay in his arms, making a firm promise!

She couldn’t remember how many times Uncle had begged her like this! To make a man so high above repeatedly beg her not to leave, it showed how lacking in sense of security he was, how fearful!

Every time she heard it, she felt a pang in her heart!

And at this moment, she was very grateful that she was clean, that she was pure!

When she was dating Mu Rufeng, no matter how Mu Rufeng sweet-talked her, she never gave herself to him!

Actually, at that time, she didn’t understand why, since they were already at the point of marriage, she couldn’t break through that step!

Now she understood! She kept herself pure to give herself to this man!

If she was not pure before Uncle, how was she different from Mo Xuehong? Both were bodies tainted by men! Such a self would have no qualifications to stay by Uncle’s side! Not even deserving to be by Uncle’s side!

So now she is very grateful, really grateful!

Mu Beiting silently held Ye Anxin without speaking, sniffing the unique scent emanating from her.

After a long time, Ye Anxin spoke again, "Uncle, let’s go down for lunch! We didn’t eat breakfast, we can’t skip lunch too! Or we won’t be able to hold up physically! Since we’ve promised to be together for a lifetime, neither of us can fall first!"

"Hmm!" Mu Beiting nodded, slowly releasing Ye Anxin from his embrace.

Ye Anxin smiled and said, "I’ll wash up and change clothes!"

"Hmm!" Mu Beiting nodded, reluctantly stroking Ye Anxin’s white skin.

Before Ye Anxin went to the bathroom, she couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle, are you not going to the company today?"

Mu Beiting shook his head, "No! I’ll stay home with you today!"

Ye Anxin asked worriedly, "Are you sure the company’s affairs can be set aside?"

Mu Beiting replied, "With Pete, it’s okay!"

"Okay! Then I’m going to freshen up! Honestly, Pete is really a good employee, I think Uncle should give him a raise!" Saying this, she playfully winked at Mu Beiting before turning to walk towards the bathroom!

Watching Ye Anxin’s departing figure, Mu Beiting’s eyes darkened slightly, then he looked out at the misty rain outside the window, his gaze gradually darkening and deepening!

......

The whole day today, Mu Beiting indeed did not go to the company, nor did he handle business affairs. After the two had their meal, they stayed in the room all day!

Because Xiao Bai was in the study room, to avoid disturbing him, Mu Beiting handled his work in the bedroom!

After lunch, Mu Beiting returned to his usual appearance!

This gave Ye Anxin the slight illusion that the vulnerable Uncle she saw in the morning was just her imagination!

Ye Anxin leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the working Mu Beiting, and couldn’t help but lose focus!

It takes tremendous courage for Uncle to suppress painful memories, to maintain the facade of being cold and aloof!

As Ye Anxin was lost in thought, the cellphone on the bedside table rang.

The phone’s ringtone caught the attention of both Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin!

Ye Anxin glanced at Mu Beiting, picked up the phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw it was an unfamiliar number. She initially wanted to reject the call but feared it might be from Old Mr. Mu, hesitated a moment, and answered, "Hello!"

A weak and stammering voice immediately came from the other end, "Anxin... save... save me... it’s me...!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly, it took her a while to recognize the voice’s owner, and bewilderedly said, "Are you... are you my dad?"

"Yes...! Hurry and save me! Otherwise... it’ll be too late...!"

"Dad, what’s wrong? What happened? You...!" Ye Anxin’s words were interrupted before she finished asking, replaced by the sound of beeping!

Listening to the busy signal coming from the other end, Ye Anxin slightly furrowed her brows, and dialed the number again! But was prompted that the other party’s phone was already off!

"What’s going on?" Ye Anxin stared at the phone in her hand, puzzled about what had just happened! Was that call really made by her father Nan Mingchuan? Why did he want her to save him?

Seeing Ye Anxin staring at the phone absent-mindedly, Mu Beiting’s gaze flickered, "Nan Mingchuan’s call?"

Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting, nodded, "It seemed like him! He said, asking me to save him, otherwise it would be too late! What’s going on? Isn’t he at home? Why would he suddenly call me asking for help? Could this be a prank?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s gaze darkened, he picked up his phone and dialed Pete, "Pete, immediately investigate Nan Mingchuan in Du City!" Saying this, he ended the call!

Seeing Mu Beiting’s expression wasn’t good, Ye Anxin’s heart turned uneasy, fearfully she said, "Uncle, could something really have happened to my dad? But, it’s strange! Who dares to touch him in Du City! Even if something happened, he shouldn’t have called me! How can distant water quench a nearby fire!"
