Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 824 - 867: Affection Grows Over Time

"Maybe!" Li Qingyang nodded, not continuing the topic!Although she didn’t continue the topic, she couldn’t shake off the image of the woman she encountered outside the restroom from her mind!

She even overlapped that woman with Ye Anxin at one point!

It’s one thing if they just looked alike, but their aura was exactly the same! Can there really be such a coincidence?

Just as Li Qingyang was puzzled, her arm was suddenly bumped by someone. Ye Anxin looked down at Xiao Bai, who bumped her arm, and he pointed not far ahead.

Following Xiao Bai’s finger, Ye Anxin immediately saw Mu Beiting standing on the beach not far away, with a gloomy face!

Only then did Ye Anxin remember that Mu Beiting was also here. She smiled sheepishly at Mu Beiting, pointed to where he stood, and said to Su Yichen and Li Qingyang, "Oh right, Sister Qingyang, I forgot to introduce you! That’s my husband, Mu Beiting!"

Su Yichen and Li Qingyang looked in the direction Ye Anxin pointed! When they saw the man who was clearly in the sunshine but had a terrifyingly gloomy face, they both shivered and then walked towards Mu Beiting.

Ye Anxin quickly pulled Xiao Bai out of the sea and walked towards Mu Beiting together.

Su Yichen approached Mu Beiting and politely extended his hand, "President Mu, long time no see!"

Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips together, his ambiguous eyes swept over Ye Anxin! Noticing Mu Beiting’s gaze, Ye Anxin quickly clasped her hands together, an imploring look on her face.

Seeing this, Mu Beiting’s eyes flashed slightly, and just as he was about to reach out and shake hands, Xiao Chu Yi suddenly took the lead, slapping Su Yichen’s extended palm.

Nobody expected Xiao Chu Yi to suddenly do such a thing, nor did they expect that a little over three months old child could be so accurate, hitting right on Su Yichen’s palm, making everyone laugh.

Seeing everyone laughing, Xiao Chu Yi also laughed along! His small mouth opened, and drool dripped down the corners.

Li Qingyang asked enviously, "Anxin, is this your daughter? What’s her name?"

Ye Anxin beamed, "Her formal name is Mu Lianxin, and her nickname is Chu Yi!"

"Chu Yi? Why that nickname?" Li Qingyang and Su Yichen both looked at Ye Anxin, puzzled.

Ye Anxin blushed slightly, a bit embarrassed, "Because she was born precisely at midnight on New Year’s Day, so we gave her that nickname!"

"Oh! I see! Can I hold her?" Li Qingyang looked at Ye Anxin expectantly.

"Of course!" Ye Anxin nodded and, despite Mu Beiting’s sullen gaze, lifted Xiao Chu Yi from his arms and handed her to Li Qingyang.

Li Qingyang’s face changed, and she quickly reached out, holding the baby tightly in her arms.

Normally wary of strangers, Xiao Chu Yi in Li Qingyang’s arms didn’t fuss at all; instead, she drooled and snuggled closer.

Seeing how much Li Qingyang liked children, Ye Anxin teased, "Sister Qingyang, if you like them so much, you should have one soon! Brother Su is getting older; it’s time he had a child of his own!"

Hearing her words, Li Qingyang’s previously sunny face suddenly shadowed, eyes revealing hidden sorrow.

Capturing her expression, Ye Anxin was startled, realizing she’d misspoken, her face blushing with embarrassment.

Knowing Li Qingyang was reminded of unhappy past events, Su Yichen pulled her into his arms, softly saying, "It’s all in the past; one day we’ll have a child of our own!"

"Mm!" Li Qingyang nodded listlessly. Her once sad face brightened when she saw the innocent smile on Xiao Chu Yi’s face in her arms, and she couldn’t help but play with the baby.

Listening to their conversation and watching their expressions, Ye Anxin realized that over the past year, many things must have happened between Su Yichen and Sister Qingyang, just as they had with Uncle and her. Otherwise, Sister Qingyang, always a self-proclaimed strong woman, wouldn’t show such sadness.

Seeing them standing on the beach chatting non-stop, Xiao Bai pouted and complained, "Enough, we’re here to play. Are we playing or not? The day’s almost over!"

"Alright, I’ll join you for a swim! Brother Su, Sister Qingyang, you two play with Xiao Chu Yi for a while; I’m going to join Xiao Bai for a swim!" Saying this, she waved at them and went into the sea with Xiao Bai.

Even though Li Qingyang held Xiao Chu Yi, Mu Beiting still wasn’t relieved, staying alongside without joining Ye Anxin and Xiao Bai in the water!

On the other hand, Su Yichen kept trying to strike up a conversation with Mu Beiting, but throughout, Mu Beiting looked disinterested! In the end, Su Yichen found it awkward and instead played with Xiao Chu Yi with Li Qingyang.

While everyone played separately, unbeknownst to them, a slender figure stood behind a coconut tree not far away, staring unblinkingly at Ye Anxin having a great time in the sea with Xiao Bai.

Her slender fingers unconsciously brushed against the coconut tree beside her, then slowly tightened! Due to excessive force, her pale fingers accidentally scraped a long slit on the tree, with bright red blood oozing from her fingers down the tree.

Yet she seemed unaware, her reason slowly being consumed by jealousy and hatred.

Why? Why can Ye Anxin be so happy? That happiness should belong to her! If she had cherished it and stayed despite everything, there wouldn’t be room for Ye Anxin.

After seven years of silence, seven years of endurance, now is the time to reclaim everything!

She is determined to reclaim the happiness that should be hers and take back everything that rightfully belongs to her!

......

After swimming during the day, Ye Anxin suggested holding a barbecue in the garden outside the vacation house at night!

Since Mu Beiting was holding the child, and Li Qingyang, being a well-bred lady, knew nothing besides business, Ye Anxin and Su Yichen handled the food, while Li Qingyang set up the grill and Xiao Bai arranged the utensils.

Throughout the barbecue, except for Mu Beiting’s consistently stern face, the atmosphere was great! Li Qingyang and Ye Anxin chatted about what happened in Han City over the past year, and Ye Anxin shared her past year’s experiences with Li Qingyang and Su Yichen!

It wasn’t until that evening that Ye Anxin learned Su Yichen married Li Qingyang shortly after she left Han City! However, their union was purely a business alliance, unrelated to any emotions!

Later, as they spent night after night together, feelings slowly developed!
