Chapter 571 - 614: Could She Be Uncle’s Mother?
Originally, she planned to watch Mu Beiting have lunch, but when it came time to eat, it was Mu Beiting who put down the documents in his hands, walked over to the sofa, curled his index finger, and gently tapped her forehead."Ouch...!" Ye Anxin let out a small yelp, covered her tapped forehead, and looked up at Mu Beiting with a grievance.
Mu Beiting raised his wrist, pointed at the watch facing Ye Anxin, and said helplessly, "It’s twelve o’clock. Are you not planning to have lunch?"
"Ah! Sorry, I got so engrossed in reading that I forgot the time! I said I’d watch you eat, and instead, you ended up reminding me! I feel so embarrassed!" Ye Anxin blushed, placed the book on the sofa, and Mu Beiting quickly reached out to help her up from the sofa.
Mu Beiting naturally took Ye Anxin’s hand and said warmly, "Let’s go out for lunch. What do you want to eat?"
Ye Anxin pouted and thought seriously for a moment, "Chinese food! Chinese food has rice. I want rice!"
"Alright, let’s go!" he said, taking Ye Anxin out of the office.
After lunch, Ye Anxin accompanied Mu Beiting back to the office. Because of her pregnancy and tendency to sleep, once they returned to the office, Ye Anxin went to rest in the office lounge while Mu Beiting continued working outside.
Today, like always, Ye Anxin slept very soundly; she slept for a long time before slowly opening her eyes feeling rested.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard voices conversing outside the door.
Ye Anxin slightly furrowed her brows, stood slowly from the bed with her belly, put on her shoes, and walked slowly towards the door.
As she got closer to the door, the voices outside became clearer.
First, it was Mu Beiting’s voice that entered her ears, "Has everything been checked clearly?"
"It’s been checked! The owner of the phone number that sent the anonymous text has the last name Mo. Here’s her information!" With that, Pete handed the collected information to Mu Beiting.
Mu Beiting took the materials with a calm look, and after seeing the content on them, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing in them.
Pete, with his head lowered, said frankly, "Because the time was short, we could only find out that she returned from abroad. If further investigation is needed, it might take some time!"
Looking at the three bold characters, Mu Beiting gritted his teeth and spat out three words, "Mo Xuehong!"
Upon hearing these three words, Ye Anxin in the lounge shivered all over.
It’s Mo Xuehong again!
What kind of person is this woman? Why does Uncle seem so angry and gritted his teeth when talking about her name?
For someone like Uncle, who is good at enduring and never shows his emotions, it’s very unusual for him to show his feelings so openly!
This made her even more curious about this woman, Mo Xuehong.
Pete asked confusedly, "President, do you need us to investigate thoroughly?"
"No need! You can leave now!" Mu Beiting still focused on the information in his hand, without raising his head.
"Yes!" Pete nodded and left with his head lowered.
Even after Pete had left, Mu Beiting’s gaze remained on the name "Mo Xuehong" on the materials!
Looking at the name above, Mu Beiting’s fingers unconsciously tightened slowly around the folder, causing the thin sheets of paper to slowly twist and deform due to his grip.
Seeing that Pete had left, Ye Anxin slowly opened the door and walked out.
"Uncle!" Ye Anxin walked to Mu Beiting’s desk and called softly.
Mu Beiting didn’t react, his attention still focused on the documents in his hand.
This version of Uncle was something Ye Anxin had never seen before!
Ye Anxin couldn’t help but worry a little, slowly walking behind the desk and pressing Mu Beiting’s arm gently, nervously calling again, "Uncle!"
Hearing this voice, Mu Beiting suddenly snapped out of it, looked up at Ye Anxin.
Ye Anxin asked with concern, "Uncle, what’s wrong? Are you okay?"
"I’m fine!" Mu Beiting shook his head, closed the folder, and tossed it onto the desk in front.
Ye Anxin glanced at the folder, reached out to pick it up, and opened it to read the contents.
Mu Beiting didn’t stop her.
Just three very brief pages, simply introducing this woman, Mo Xuehong!
Fifty-four years old, returned to the country three months ago, accompanied by a daughter! The daughter is twenty-two years old! For the past three months, they’ve been unemployed, living in a two-bedroom rental house.
The information clearly explained all their living habits in the last three months!
As Ye Anxin read on, she puzzledly asked, "Uncle, who is Mo Xuehong? Do you know her? Why did she tell you my whereabouts this morning? What’s her purpose?"
Mu Beiting replied expressionlessly, "I don’t know!"
"...!" Ye Anxin shifted her gaze from the information to Mu Beiting’s handsome face!
She clearly felt that Uncle knew this woman, Mo Xuehong. Why did he tell her that he didn’t know her purpose?
Does he really not know?
As Ye Anxin wondered, Mu Beiting suddenly stretched his long arms, grabbed Ye Anxin’s wrist, and gently pulled her to sit on his lap.
"Uncle...!" Ye Anxin called softly, not having time to react before Mu Beiting’s entire face was already buried in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily.
"Uncle, what’s wrong with you?" She didn’t know why, but she always felt that Uncle seemed to be suppressing something painful.
Mu Beiting didn’t answer her, as if time had come to a standstill!
Even though he didn’t speak, Ye Anxin could clearly feel his change and pain!
Seeing Mu Beiting like this, Ye Anxin became even more curious about this woman, Mo Xuehong!
What kind of woman could make Uncle act so abnormally?
If it were a woman in the prime of her youth, she might think it’s because she was Uncle’s lover! But this woman is already fifty-four years old, regardless of age, it just doesn’t seem right!
Wait...!
Fifty-four years old! Uncle is thirty-five!
Could she be Uncle’s biological mother?
But she’s only nineteen years older than Uncle! Could it be she gave birth to him at nineteen?
This... this just doesn’t make sense!
But thinking it over, thirty-five years ago, it wasn’t uncommon for women to have children in their teens. If she’s indeed Uncle’s mother, it wouldn’t be surprising!
As Ye Anxin’s thoughts ran wild, Mu Beiting’s muffled voice came from her neck crook, "I’m fine, I just wanted to smell your scent! I like this smell!"
Ye Anxin cradled Mu Beiting’s head, holding it firmly into her neck crook, hoping to transfer her warmth to him.
If this Mo Xuehong is really Uncle’s mother, then at this moment, she could very well understand Uncle’s feelings!
