Chapter 720: Chapter 763: I’ve Got a Solution!

Ling Yueyue sat next to her, mimicking her pose with her chin in her hands, loyally brainstorming with her.

Suddenly, Ye Anxin’s eyes lit up and she snapped her fingers, "Got it! I know what to do!"

Ling Yueyue eagerly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ye Anxin gave her a mysterious smile, said nothing, and just kept laughing to herself.

Ling Yueyue pretended to be angry, "What are you going to do? Hurry up and tell me!"

"Not telling; it’s a secret! A secret between me and the mister, it wouldn’t be fun if I told!" As she spoke, she didn’t forget to wink at Ling Yueyue, provoking her to the point of almost wanting to punch the smile off her face.

At this moment, the sales assistant came over, putting the elegantly boxed watch into a shopping bag and handing it to Ye Anxin with a smile, "Ma’am, here’s the watch you just bought, warranty and receipt are in the bag too!"

"Great! Thank you!" Ye Anxin accepted with a smile, then stood up and walked out of the store. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Ling Yueyue quickly chased after her, still nagging unhappily, "Hey, Ye Anxin, tell me, just how do you plan to give Mu Beiting an unforgettable birthday?"

"Not telling, it’s secret! A little secret between husband and wife!" Ye Anxin simply wouldn’t answer, making Ling Yueyue frustrated and restless.

After buying a gift for Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin and Ling Yueyue also shopped for new clothes for Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai for the Spring Festival! Ling Yueyue likewise bought new clothes for Tiantian, Tiantian, and Huo Junmo!

When they were tired from shopping, they rested on the benches in the mall; when they were hungry, they ate at the mall’s top floor restaurant! They returned home only laden with purchases before dinner in the evening.

When they arrived home, all the clothes they bought at the mall had already been delivered!

To prevent Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai from seeing the watch she bought, Ye Anxin deliberately went home before Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai, then went upstairs to hide the watch!

Just as she finished hiding the watch, Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai came back, and Ye Anxin immediately walked over smilingly, hooking her arm through Mu Beiting’s, "Mister, you’re back! I just got home too!"

Actually, she had called Mu Beiting before coming home, so she knew exactly where he was! That’s also why she could time it just right to get home ahead of them and hide the gift!

Mu Beiting nodded and softly asked, "Hmm! Were you exhausted today?"

Ye Anxin replied with a smile, "Not really! When I’m tired, I just sit down and rest a while. I’m grown up and know my limits, I wouldn’t overexert myself!"

"Hmm!" Mu Beiting nodded in satisfaction.

"Come, let me show you the new clothes I bought for you. See if you like them or not!" Saying so, Ye Anxin led Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai to the sofa where the spoils of the day’s shopping were, opened a shopping bag, and handed a piece of clothing to Mu Beiting.

It was a dark red lightweight down jacket, simple and elegant in design, with clear lines, and although its appearance wasn’t particularly striking, it matched Mu Beiting’s temperament very well.

Looking at the down jacket in his hand, Mu Beiting unconsciously frowned, "I never wear down jackets!"

"I know! It’s precisely because you never wear down jackets that I bought this for you! On cold days, how can you only wear two sweaters? You’ll freeze! Down jackets are warmer! Plus, this one doesn’t look like a typical down jacket, more like a coat! So wearing it doesn’t feel awkward!" She explained, opening the jacket to show Mu Beiting inside and out.

Even so, Mu Beiting’s brow remained furrowed, showing no signs of relaxing.

Knowing that Mu Beiting still couldn’t accept it right away, Ye Anxin gently coaxed him while holding onto his arm, "Mister, how about wearing this coat tomorrow? I really want to see you in it!"

Xiao Bai puzzledly asked, "Mom, isn’t this supposed to be for New Year’s? Why do you want Dad to wear it tomorrow?"

"Because the weather forecast says tomorrow will be really cold! Your dad usually wears too little, I’m worried he’ll get cold!" For the first time, Ye Anxin felt so confident in her little white lie.

Actually, her thoughts were simple. She hoped the mister would spend his birthday wearing a new outfit.

In the past thirty-odd years of his life, the mister has never celebrated his own birthday; he’s never cared about it at all!

No one used to care about him, so no one ever paid attention to his emotions!

But now it’s different, he has her, and he has Xiao Bai!

She wanted him to feel genuinely happy and blessed!

Listening to Ye Anxin’s explanation, Xiao Bai couldn’t help but smirk.

Why did he feel like his mom’s reasoning was so flimsy?

Jin City always gets colder earlier than other places; it snows early too! So long ago, the weather in Jin City had been consistently cold, with heavy snowfall that never stopped!

If she was worried about Dad getting cold, she should’ve bought him warm clothes long ago! Why wait until now?

Xiao Bai asked again, "But didn’t you say all new clothes should be washed before wearing them?"

Ye Anxin explained, "That’s for summer clothes and those worn close to the body! This is a coat, worn outside; it’s not that important whether it’s washed or not! Plus, this is a down jacket; you can’t just wash it randomly!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai was once again left speechless!

Alright then! Why did he feel Mom was always right, no matter what? Whatever she said went.

Ye Anxin didn’t care whether Xiao Bai believed her or not. She lightly tugged Mu Beiting’s arm, playfully saying, "Mister, will you agree, please? Wear this coat tomorrow! I really want to see you in it! If you don’t wear it, I’ll be so disappointed and sad!"

Listening to Ye Anxin’s sweet words, Xiao Bai felt a chill and quickly imitated Ye Anxin’s manner, tugging Mu Beiting’s other arm, "Dad, just agree to Mom’s request! If not, I’m going to puke from hearing this!" Even his speaking tone was exactly the same.

Seeing Xiao Bai like this, Ye Anxin felt both embarrassed and frustrated.

Holding the coat, Mu Beiting’s brow was still tightly furrowed. Despite the obvious reluctance on his face, he reluctantly agreed, "Okay then!"

Seeing him finally agree, Ye Anxin was so happy she nearly jumped up, "Great! I knew mister was always the best with me!"

At this time, the butler approached respectfully, "Sir, Ma’am, Young Master, dinner is ready. You may eat after washing your hands!"
