Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 424 - 425: Give Him a Chance

However, five years had passed, and he still couldn’t enter her heart!

Because in her heart, there always lived a Mu Beiting! Even if she said she hated Mu Beiting, she could never forget him!

Sometimes he would think, if only he were Mu Beiting, how wonderful it would be!

Unfortunately, he’s not! He will never be Mu Beiting!

Su Yichen thought to himself as he continued walking forward!

Unconsciously, he ended up at a familiar place!

Su Yichen hid under that big tree, secretly lifted his head, and saw that house with the lights on in one glance!

That was where Ye Anxin lived!

In the past five years, whenever he missed her, he would quietly come over, stand behind this big tree, and secretly watch her!

Even if he could only see a shadow of her, he would be very happy and satisfied!

While Su Yichen was staring blankly at Ye Anxin’s dormitory, unbeknownst to him, a black sedan was parked at the corner across the street!

Inside the car, a pair of sharp, cold eyes took in the entire scene!

Inside the dormitory, Ye Anxin was completely unaware, sitting alone on the sofa, watching TV and eating instant noodles.

Usually, when Su Yichen didn’t ask her out to eat, she would stay home and make do with instant noodles or order takeout!

After all, eating out alone was no fun; she’d rather watch TV to pass the time!

She had just finished a bowl of instant noodles when her phone on the coffee table suddenly rang!

Ye Anxin glanced at the caller ID; it was Li Qingyang calling! Without thinking, she answered the phone directly, "Hello, Qingyang Jie!"

Li Qingyang’s cheerful voice came through immediately, "Anxin! Where are you now?"

While flipping the channel with the remote, Ye Anxin said, "I’m at home! Just finished dinner! How about you? Are you having fun with Professor Su?"

Li Qingyang didn’t answer Ye Anxin’s question; instead, she changed the subject, "Anxin, when will you have time tomorrow? Let’s meet for lunch!"

Ye Anxin didn’t hesitate and readily agreed, "Sure! It’s Saturday tomorrow, no classes; I’m free anytime! Where do we meet?"

"Great! Then wait for my call tomorrow!" After saying that and bidding farewell, Li Qingyang hung up the phone!

Ye Anxin put the phone back on the coffee table, not dwelling on the call, and continued to watch TV!

Until noon the next day, as Ye Anxin was preparing to make instant noodles, Li Qingyang’s call came in again!

Ye Anxin answered the call, arranged the lunch meeting place with Li Qingyang, changed her clothes, shouldered her backpack, and headed out!

Actually, whenever there was a holiday and no classes, she would stay home alone! Unless Su Yichen called to invite her to dinner, she rarely went out!

After going downstairs, Ye Anxin hailed a taxi and headed to the place she arranged to meet with Li Qingyang!

When Ye Anxin arrived at the restaurant, Li Qingyang was already seated there; seeing Ye Anxin enter, she quickly stood up and waved at her!

Ye Anxin smiled and walked over to sit across from her!

Li Qingyang handed the menu to Ye Anxin, smiling, "Order whatever you want, my treat!"

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony!" Ye Anxin smiled, not being modest, and directly ordered two dishes she liked.

After ordering, Li Qingyang finally spoke, "Anxin, we’re so familiar, I won’t beat around the bush; I’ll get straight to the point!"

Ye Anxin laughed it off, saying, "Qingyang Jie, why make it so mysterious? You even called me out! Just say it directly!"

Li Qingyang was silent for a moment, thought carefully, and then said, "Anxin, do you know about Tang Da Ge’s feelings for you?"

Ye Anxin, who was drinking water, choked suddenly at her unexpected words and started coughing violently.

Seeing her face turn red from coughing, Li Qingyang quickly poured her another glass of water, "Don’t get excited, take a sip of water to soothe your throat!"

Ye Anxin picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and after catching her breath, hurriedly explained, "Qingyang Jie, don’t misunderstand, Professor Su and I are just ordinary friends! We’re really nothing special! If you mind, if it makes you uncomfortable, I can keep my distance from him!"

Li Qingyang smiled indifferently and said, "Don’t worry, that’s not what I mean! Actually, I have no special relationship with Tang Da Ge; the reason we got engaged was entirely to lessen your emotional burden!"

Ye Anxin was startled and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean? Are you saying you and Professor Su are fake engaged?"

Li Qingyang nodded, "Yes! We agreed before the engagement; we’re just putting on a show! I did it to save my family, and he did it to stay with you!"

"This... how’s that possible?" Ye Anxin looked at Li Qingyang in disbelief.

She had indeed found it odd back then, never having heard Professor Su mention a loved one, then suddenly he was engaged!

But at times, seeing their seemingly good relationship, she didn’t think much of it!

Turns out, all along, they were acting in front of her!

Li Qingyang held Ye Anxin’s hand on the table, earnestly saying, "Anxin, in Tang Da Ge’s heart, there’s only ever been you! I know you don’t like him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen this way to stay by your side! But it’s been three years, we’ve been engaged for three years! Both families are urging us to get married! If we don’t wed soon, they’ll grow suspicious! You know what the Tang Family is like! So many people covet Tang Da Ge’s position; a slight misstep could mean losing everything he worked so hard to reclaim! Now is a crucial moment; no mistakes can be made!"

Ye Anxin retorted, "So, Qingyang Jie wants me to stay away from Professor Su?"

Li Qingyang shook her head solemnly, "No! I want you to give him a chance! I’ve seen many men in my life; which one hasn’t claimed to love me so much they’d die? Yet, in the end, they all ran away faster than rabbits when faced with death! Only Tang Da Ge, he’s the most foolish man I’ve ever met! To stay beside a hopeless love for five years without complaint! I think you should give him this chance; if you can truly be together, I’ll resign and step aside!"

"I... I...!" Li Qingyang’s words filled Ye Anxin with guilt.

She always believed her relationship with Professor Su was nothing more than the best of friends! Little did she realize she had unknowingly delayed him for five years! In the end, she was cruelly living in his world as his best friend!
