CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 171: TENDER CARE

"Uncle, why are we suddenly eating out? Have you finished all your work at the company? I made you leave late this morning because of me, and if you can’t finish, you’ll have to work overtime tonight again!" Although she didn’t want him to be so busy all the time, she also hoped he could rest sometimes! But there are so many things in the company that always need his attention! If she doesn’t finish today’s tasks, they will only pile up more and more! Then, she will have to work overtime frantically.

Rather than that, she hoped he could be a bit busier for one day and finish the day’s work! Otherwise, if everything accumulates, it will be very tiring!

"You’re pregnant, you need to eat well! There’s Pete at the company, it doesn’t matter!" Clearly a statement of concern, but there wasn’t a trace of gentleness in Mu Beiting’s words, still with that cold demeanor.

Even so, Ye Anxin felt a surge of emotion in her heart.

It turned out, he took her out to eat because he was afraid the food outside wasn’t nutritious, and it was all for her!

With him being so good to her, how could she not be moved?

Ye Anxin smiled and teasingly said, "Uncle, how much do you pay Pete? Why do I feel he’s quite miserable? Does he have to do everything?"

"...?" Mu Beiting pursed his lips, looking at Ye Anxin.

Ye Anxin covered her mouth, laughing softly, "Hehe, I was just joking! I’m just curious, what attracts Pete to work so hard by your side? He’s not just your special assistant; he’s also like your little nanny! He’s involved in everything!"

Mu Beiting quietly looked at her without saying anything or answering her.

Ye Anxin was already used to his silence. Suddenly, she stood up, walked behind Mu Beiting, and gently placed her hands on his temples.

Mu Beiting squinted his eyes slightly, grabbing her hands, "What are you doing?"

Ye Anxin blinked and said softly, "Giving you a massage! You seem quite tired lately, with so many things to do! I heard that massaging the temples can relieve fatigue after being tired."

Mu Beiting’s thin lips curved a bit, grabbing her wrist and suddenly pulling her into his arms, making her sit on his thigh. His strong arms wrapped around her slender waist, fixing her in his embrace. His thin lips approached her ear, slightly parting with a hint of mischievousness, "I prefer to relieve fatigue in another way!"

Ye Anxin blinked again, innocently asking, "What way?"

A trace of wickedness flashed in Mu Beiting’s eyes. His large hand suddenly pressed against the back of her head, and his thin lips took the opportunity to capture hers.

"...?" Ye Anxin blinked her shimmering big eyes, staring blankly at the handsome face so close, forgetting to react.

Seeing her always wandering off during intimate moments, with her attention unfocused, Mu Beiting opened his mouth, gently biting her thin lips with his white teeth.

The force was just right, enough to bring back Ye Anxin’s attention but not enough to hurt her too much.

This trick never failed, and Ye Anxin was indeed successfully drawn back to attention by him.

Regaining her senses, Ye Anxin remembered their surroundings. She hurriedly tried to push against Mu Beiting’s chest, mumbling through the kiss, "Uncle, no, we’re outside! It would be so embarrassing if someone saw us!"

Mu Beiting ignored her, deepening the kiss.

"Uncle!" Seeing that he had no intention of letting her go, Ye Anxin’s eyes became red with urgency, her voice tinged with sobs.

Hearing this, Mu Beiting finally released her.

Gaining her freedom, Ye Anxin nervously glanced at the tightly closed room door, complaining, "Uncle, we are outside! What if someone barges in?"

"Then let’s continue at home later, where no one is!" Mu Beiting’s lips moved close to Ye Anxin’s ear, his rich voice carrying a hint of mischief and seduction.

"Uncle!" Ye Anxin’s face immediately turned bright red, side-eyeing Mu Beiting with embarrassment and lowering her head.

Mu Beiting extended his right hand, long and with distinct joints, gently pinching her chin, lifting her head, and pressing his lips forcefully against her soft lips.

Ye Anxin blinked, looking at Mu Beiting with confusion.

She didn’t know why, was it just her imagination?

Why did she feel like there was a very complex emotion in his kiss just now?

What happened to Uncle?

While Ye Anxin was pondering, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Uncle, let me go down quickly!" Ye Anxin suddenly snapped back to reality, struggling to jump off Mu Beiting’s lap.

Unexpectedly, Mu Beiting not only didn’t let her go, he tightened his arms around her waist even more.

"Uncle!" Ye Anxin’s face was flushed with anxiety, but Mu Beiting ignored her, his voice cold as he said, "Come in!"

"Uncle!" Ye Anxin exclaimed in surprise, and as the private room door opened, she immediately buried her head in his chest.

"Mr. Mu, your dishes are ready!" The waiter pushed open the door, followed by a line of waiters, each holding a plate in their hands.

One by one, they came in, their eyes straight ahead, neatly placing the dishes on the table in front of Mu Beiting.

"Mr. Mu, your meal is ready, please enjoy!" The waiter said politely, then lowered his head and left.

Until the door of the private room was closed, Ye Anxin finally dared to lift her head from Mu Beiting’s embrace.

Ye Anxin gave Mu Beiting a look, playfully scolding, "Uncle, what are you doing! Let me go! I’m too embarrassed to face anyone!"

Mu Beiting domineeringly and stubbornly said, "No!"

Ye Anxin begrudgingly retorted, "...? If you don’t let go, how am I supposed to eat?"

"I’ll feed you!" With that, he really picked up the chopsticks in front of him, picked up the food, and brought it to Ye Anxin’s mouth.

Ye Anxin chuckled, saying, "Uncle, I’ll just eat by myself! This position feels so awkward! Besides, it’s a waste of time! By the time I finish, the food will all be cold!"

"Open your mouth!" Mu Beiting insisted, bringing the food to Ye Anxin’s mouth. She wouldn’t open her mouth, and he wouldn’t leave.

Ye Anxin sighed inwardly, obediently opening her mouth, eating the food Mu Beiting brought to her, "I’ve eaten, can you let me down now?"

Mu Beiting didn’t answer, picking up more food to bring to Ye Anxin’s mouth.

Seeing that Mu Beiting seemed to be addicted to feeding, Ye Anxin said nothing more.

After all, being fed by her husband in such a position is a very happy thing, isn’t it?

So... since Uncle insists, what else can she say? Just enjoy it.

Mu Beiting’s movements were very unskilled, cautious with each feed, afraid that he might spill oil or soup on Ye Anxin’s clothes!

When it came to picking up fish, he would carefully pick out the fish bones, checking repeatedly, only delivering the fish to Ye Anxin’s mouth once he was sure there weren’t any bones.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, a wave of warmth surged in Ye Anxin, her eyes welling up, feeling like she wanted to cry a little.

Clearly, it was just a lunch that could be finished in half an hour, but under Mu Beiting’s careful care, it stretched to nearly an hour.

After feeding Ye Anxin until she was full, Mu Beiting didn’t eat himself.
