Since that day, Ye Anxin never brought up the topic of going back to the Mu Family old residence with Mu Beiting for the old master’s birthday again!
After all, it’s Uncle’s personal decision. Since he doesn’t like it, she didn’t want to push him.
On the third day, Ye Anxin made a call to the old master!
It felt as if the old master was waiting by the phone, as it barely rang for half a ring before it was picked up!
Before Ye Anxin could speak, Mu Huajian eagerly asked, "Hello! Anxin, how is it? Did Beiting agree to co to the old residence for dinner?"
Ye Anxin lowered her head and apologized sincerely, "Old master, I’m sorry, I couldn’t convince Uncle!"
Having sowhat expected this result, Mu Huajian was ntally prepared, but still couldn’t hide his disappointnt, "It’s okay, it’s okay. I should have thought of this sooner! Since he didn’t agree, let’s just forget it! After all, the knots in his heart towards us can’t be untied overnight!"
Ye Anxin didn’t know what to say, so she could only apologize again with guilt, "I’m sorry!"
Mu Huajian quickly said, "This has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to apologize! I expected this result, it’s not your fault! I believe you did your best!"
Listening to Mu Huajian’s disappointed voice over the phone, Ye Anxin felt a sense of sadness in her heart, "Old master, I wish you an early happy birthday, may your happiness be as vast as the oceans and your life as long as the mountains! Although I can’t attend, I will silently send you my blessings!"
For so reason, it seed that after the whole issue with Xie Yunlu, the old master changed a lot!
Not only did his attitude towards her change, but his lofty, overbearing deanor also disappeared!
"Thank you!" Mu Huajian expressed his gratitude and then hung up the call!
Listening to the busy tone from the other end, Ye Anxin lowered her eyes, sighed helplessly, and put her phone back in her pocket!
At this mont, Mu Beiting happened to push the door open and walked in, taking in all of Ye Anxin’s expressions!
Mu Beiting’s eyes flashed slightly, as he walked over and said calmly, "Let’s go! Change your clothes, we’re going shopping!"
Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting puzzledly, "Uncle, aren’t you busy today? How do you have ti to go shopping with ?"
Mu Beiting replied with an unchanged expression, "If I have to do everything myself, then what’s the point of having so many people working for ?"
"Oh! Alright! I’ll change my clothes and be ready in a mont!" Ye Anxin nodded, found a maternity outfit from the closet, and changed into it, then she left hand in hand with Mu Beiting!
Once they reached the mall, Mu Beiting took Ye Anxin first to a health products store!
Ye Anxin looked around at the luxurious decor and the various health products within the store, and asked puzzled, "Uncle, what are we here for?"
Mu Beiting didn’t respond, he went straight to the counter and said to the salesperson, "Give the most expensive, best health product set you have here!"
"Yes, sir, please wait a mont!" Having never seen a custor as straightforward and generous as Mu Beiting, the salesperson nodded with a smile and went to prepare the order for Mu Beiting!
With Mu Beiting’s sudden action, Ye Anxin was even more puzzled, "Uncle, these are for the elderly, who are you buying them for?"
Mu Beiting’s handso face turned slightly red as he awkwardly turned his face away, and said, "A birthday gift!"
"A birthday gift?" Ye Anxin was first taken aback, then instantly realized, and a bright smile spread across her face, "Uncle, is the birthday gift you’re talking about for the old master?"
Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips tightly into a line, not answering Ye Anxin!
To Ye Anxin, Mu Beiting’s non-response was an acknowledgnt!
Ye Anxin bead at him, "Uncle, you’ve paid attention to my words, haven’t you? Last ti I asked you to buy a birthday gift for the old master, and today you’ve bought it! Actually, you’ve already decided in your heart, you just deliberately didn’t tell , is that right?"
Mu Beiting pressed his thin lips even tighter and remained silent!
Ye Anxin took Mu Beiting’s arm, squinting her eyes and saying with a cheerful smile, "I believe that the old master will surely be very happy to see your birthday gift!"
Mu Beiting still remained silent!
At this point, the salesperson had already wrapped up the items Mu Beiting wanted and brought them over!
Mu Beiting took out a black card without any hesitation and decisively swiped it!
Mu Beiting took out a pre-prepared address from his clothes pocket and handed it to the salesperson, "In three days, deliver this to this address!"
The salesperson took the address and respectfully asked, "Would you like us to write anything on it? Perhaps a congratulatory card or sothing?"
"No need!" Mu Beiting refused without thinking.
As soon as Mu Beiting finished speaking, Ye Anxin quickly interjected, "Yes, yes, yes, we need a congratulatory card! Please, write a ’Happy Birthday’ card for us! Then write ’From your son, Mu Beiting’ on the signature line at the back!"
Hearing the na Mu Beiting, the salesperson was stunned, "Mu Beiting? Is this sir Mu Beiting?"
She had heard Mu Beiting’s na countless tis, but she never knew Mu Beiting was so young and so good-looking!
However, rumors outside said that Mu Beiting had a cold and reclusive personality, and there was never ntion of any woman he loved, or a wife or anything like that?
So who was this woman?
What made her even more curious was this woman with a big belly, seemingly about to give birth?
Was the child Mu Beiting’s?
Mu Beiting not only had a wife but soon would have a child too?
The salesperson looked at Ye Anxin curiously and excitedly, hoping to find so clues from her!
"Yes!" Ye Anxin was oblivious to the curious look the salesperson gave her and picked up a pen and paper from the counter, writing down Mu Beiting’s na, then handed it over to the salesperson, "Just these three words, make sure not to write them incorrectly!"
The salesperson took the paper and looked carefully at the words ’Mu Beiting’, feeling almost as though she was in a dream.
"Let’s go!" Although Ye Anxin hadn’t noticed the looks she was getting, Mu Beiting clearly did!
Mu Beiting frowned, took Ye Anxin’s hand, and led her out of the health products store!
Outside the store, Ye Anxin asked once more, "Uncle, where are we headed now?"
"Ho!" Mu Beiting coolly uttered two words!
Ye Anxin pouted, "Uh... we just got out, are we heading back so soon? I wish we could stay out longer."
Mu Beiting gave her a look, "Then where do you want to go?"
Ye Anxin tilted her head, thought for a mont, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Uncle, how about we also go buy clothes and necessities for the baby? There’s less than three months before the baby is born, and we haven’t prepared anything for them yet! Now is the perfect ti to buy everything! It’s good to be prepared ahead of ti, so we won’t be scrambling at the last minute! Better to be safe than sorry!"
