CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: GUILTY CONSCIENCE

Not long after, a pot of fragrant fish soup was ready.

Ye Anxin ladled the fish soup into an insulated lunch box, packed it securely with a strap, and handed it to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, take it to the hospital for Mu Beiting!"

The housekeeper looked at the insulated lunch box in his hand, hesitantly called out, "Madam!"

Ye Anxin touched her swollen high cheek and smiled, "I don’t want Uncle to see me like this and worry, so I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip! If Uncle asks about me, just say I’m reviewing my lessons and can’t come!"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper lowered his head again, feeling even more guilty, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!"

Ye Anxin shrugged, dismissively said, "I already said it’s fine, hurry up and take it to Uncle! Don’t let him starve because you’re late!"

"Alright, I’ll go right away!" The housekeeper quickly nodded, got the car ready, and left with the packed insulated lunch box.

In the hospital, Mu Beiting was buried in paperwork, occasionally taking out his phone to check the time.

Pete could easily see through his boss’s thoughts, held back his laughter, and pretended to be in a difficult position, "Boss, it’s already six-thirty. Should I go out and buy some food? Maybe Madam is busy tonight and can’t come!"

Unfortunately, the only response from Mu Beiting was his usual cold stare, and he didn’t even open his mouth.

Pete sighed inwardly, had to endure his growling stomach, and continued to deal with business matters with Mu Beiting.

As time ticked away, seven o’clock was approaching, and finally, a tardy knock sounded at the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Mu Beiting and Pete simultaneously looked up from the paperwork. Mu Beiting, almost with no hesitation, eagerly said, "Come in!"

The room door was pushed open from the outside, and under Mu Beiting and Pete’s gaze, the housekeeper walked in step by step.

At the moment he saw the housekeeper, Mu Beiting’s expression visibly froze, his eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced behind the housekeeper, seeing an empty space, his eyes sank instantly.

Pete clearly felt that as soon as the housekeeper came in, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees.

He was sure his boss was definitely angry again.

Pete looked at the housekeeper and asked the question in Mu Beiting’s mind, "Housekeeper, why is it you? Where is Madam?"

"Madam... Madam said she needs to review her coursework, doesn’t have time, so she asked me to bring the fish soup she personally made to Mr. Mu!" Saying this, the housekeeper placed the fish soup on the bedside table and opened it.

Mu Beiting’s thin lips tightly pursed, he decisively said two words, "Not drinking!"

The housekeeper paused in his movements, "Sir, this was made by Madam personally!"

"Not drinking!" Mu Beiting repeated the same two words with firm resolve.

"Sir!" The housekeeper glanced at Mu Beiting, seeing him remain focused on his work, then turned to Pete, hoping he could help persuade Mu Beiting.

Pete returned an expression that showed he couldn’t help, and asked, "Is Madam’s coursework really that intense?"

"This...!" The housekeeper, not good at lying, was momentarily speechless when Pete asked.

Pete analyzed, "Logically, university courses shouldn’t be intense! Besides, Madam just finished her midterm exams, what does she need to review?"

"...!" Upon hearing this, the housekeeper lowered his head in guilt.

After hearing Pete’s words, Mu Beiting raised his head from the document, his sharp eyes directly locked onto the housekeeper.

Even though the housekeeper had his head down, he could still feel Mu Beiting’s intense gaze! Suddenly, he felt even more insecure, beads of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Mu Beiting opened his lips and coldly uttered one word, "Speak!"
