Chapter 583 - 626: His Forbearance
Seeing their hesitation, Mu Beiting’s face turned stern, "Didn’t you hear? Madam wants you to rest!""Yes!" Startled by Mu Beiting’s scolding, the servants quickly nodded and left in a hurry!
"Xiao Bai, let’s go! Let’s head back to our room to sleep! You have class tomorrow!" Saying this, she took Xiao Bai’s hand and led him toward the stairs!
Xiao Bai pouted but said nothing, obediently following Ye Anxin upstairs!
After sending Xiao Bai back to his room, Ye Anxin returned to the room with Mu Beiting!
From start to finish, Mu Beiting remained silent, saying nothing, and his face showing no sign of emotion!
Ye Anxin didn’t ask him anything until they both returned to their room. As the door closed, Mu Beiting suddenly hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her neck and apologetically murmured, "I’m sorry!"
Ye Anxin pursed her lips into a smile and softly said, "You have nothing to apologize for; you don’t need to say sorry!"
Mu Beiting’s hand slowly moved from Ye Anxin’s belly to the wound on her forehead, self-reproaching, "Because of me, you got hurt. I couldn’t protect you! I’m sorry!"
Hearing this, Ye Anxin felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, her nose tingling, and her eyes stinging.
Mu Beiting promised earnestly, "I will never let today happen again! Trust me!"
Ye Anxin smiled sadly, turning around to hug Mu Beiting’s firm waist, her cheek pressed against his rising and falling chest, and said with heartache, "Uncle, I don’t blame you, really, I don’t blame you! I feel sorry for you! Seeing you have such a mother, my heart aches! How did you survive before the age of ten? Did you grow up with her scolding like this?"
Mu Beiting held Ye Anxin tightly in his arms, wishing he could merge her into his soul, speaking in a voice thick with emotion, "Don’t feel sorry for me! That’s all in the past! It doesn’t matter anymore because now I have you!"
"Uncle, my dear uncle! How did you survive? Living with such a mother for the first ten years, and then another twenty years in the treacherous Mu Family! And me... five years ago, the way I treated you, the way I hurt you! I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! I didn’t know... I really didn’t know...!" She didn’t know, really didn’t know that throughout, uncle was living with such people, leading to his personality flaws!
He doesn’t express himself well, isn’t good at sweet talk, doesn’t like to share burdens, and prefers to bear everything on his own!
So, after they lost their first child, Uncle was tolerant of Su Yuexin, didn’t say anything to her, didn’t want her to worry, she harbored hatred, only wanting to silently avenge their child!
Yet she didn’t understand, hurting him again and again!
Fortunately, he bore no grudges, forgiving again and again, allowing them to be together again!
Sometimes, she really wondered, does she deserve Uncle’s love? All along, it has been Uncle who gave, who protected her! And yet I didn’t know how to cherish it! Still sprinkling salt on Uncle’s already scarred wounds!
"You don’t need to know anything! I just want you to be simple, and live a peaceful and happy life!" Mu Beiting buried his handsome face at the top of Ye Anxin’s head, inhaling the fresh scent of her shampoo, with a heart full of emotions.
Listening to Mu Beiting’s words, Ye Anxin could no longer hold back, tears welled up in her eyes, "Uncle, please don’t keep everything in your heart, okay? I like to share your burdens! This is what marriage is about, to share both the good and the difficult times!"
"We only share the good, not the difficult!" Mu Beiting closed his eyes, his voice exceptionally deep, almost like a promise.
Ye Anxin bit her lower lip tightly, saying nothing, just lay silently in Mu Beiting’s arms, tears streaming silently!
"I like you! As long as you are by my side, I have no regrets!" Saying this, his arms unconsciously tightened around Ye Anxin, as if afraid she might accidentally fly away from his embrace!
Ye Anxin couldn’t help but say, "Uncle, I love you!"
Mu Beiting almost without thinking, responded directly, "I love you too!"
And this was the first time he confessed his love while sober! The first time she heard him say the word ’love’ sober!
Hearing these four words, Ye Anxin felt she had no regrets in this life! Even if she were to die now, she would have no complaints!
Ye Anxin contently lifted the corners of her mouth, gently breaking free from Mu Beiting’s embrace, looked up, cupped Mu Beiting’s handsome face with both hands, and on tiptoe, planted a gentle kiss on Mu Beiting’s thin lips, tenderly asked, "Uncle, tell me, did she treat you like this before?"
Mu Beiting was silent for a moment, and just when Ye Anxin thought he wouldn’t answer, he silently nodded!
Seeing this, Ye Anxin only felt her heart wrench as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing unbearable pain!
Ye Anxin once again planted a kiss on Mu Beiting’s thin lips, solemnly promising, "Uncle, from now on, I will give you all my love! Trust me! I will stay with you for a lifetime! We will grow old together!"
Hearing this, Mu Beiting’s eyes turned slightly red, and he once again hugged Ye Anxin tightly, resting his chin on her head without speaking, just taking a deep breath, his chest heaving violently!
Though Mu Beiting said nothing, Ye Anxin knew that Uncle was excited at this moment! He just didn’t know how to express it!
And she, her heart was content! She just wanted to pour all her warmth and love into his being!
Ye Anxin encircled Mu Beiting’s waist softly saying, "It’s late, let’s go to sleep!"
"Okay!" Mu Beiting nodded, holding Ye Anxin for a while longer, then released her, walked over to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out a clean set of pajamas!
Seeing this, Ye Anxin finally noticed that her pajamas were covered with differently sized bloodstains!
"Thank you, uncle!" Ye Anxin squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, accepted the pajamas from Mu Beiting’s hand and changed!
After changing, Ye Anxin looked at the bloodstains on Mu Beiting’s pajama sleeve, blushing with embarrassment, "Uncle, you change too! You’re stained too!"
Mu Beiting glanced down at his sleeve, nodded, and took out a clean set of pajamas for himself to change into!
Once they changed clothes, they both lay in bed!
Ye Anxin habitually nestled into Mu Beiting’s arms, Mu Beiting extended his arm, letting her rest on it, adjusting to a comfortable position before whispering in her ear, "Sleep now! I’ll always be by your side!"
"Okay! Goodnight, Uncle!" Ye Anxin nodded, then closed her eyes satisfied.
Mu Beiting also slowly closed his eyes, but after a while, he suddenly opened them again!
