Chapter 572 - 615: Childhood Shadows
She knew that the shadow his mother left in Uncle’s heart was always indelible!Uncle had never felt the so-called maternal love!
Therefore, when he first saw her having a good relationship with her mother, he couldn’t understand it!
In Uncle’s heart, the role of a mother seems to be only slightly more familiar than a stranger, but only he knows deep down how much he yearns for his mother’s love!
Thinking about the current information and the conversation between Mo Xuehong and the old master at Karo Tea Restaurant, Ye Anxin could almost make a guess!
Twenty-five years ago, the old master gave Uncle’s mom one million yuan to leave Uncle and never come back to find him!
Uncle’s mom agreed to the old master’s request for that one million yuan, so she left Uncle alone with his nominal father and took the money to flee far away, never appearing again!
A mother who could abandon her son for one million yuan.
She thought, back then, Uncle’s mom completely knew what awaited Uncle when he returned to the Mu Family! Yet she still cruelly left him alone!
Such a woman is unfit to be a mother!
Especially compared to her own mother’s sacrifices, it’s simply worse than a beast!
Now, upon learning that Uncle controls the Mu Corporation and has become the most powerful man in Jin City, she shamelessly returns, betraying her promise to the old master!
Also, when meeting with the old master, she secretly sends messages to Uncle! What is her purpose?
Ye Anxin comforted him sympathetically, "Uncle, you have me, Xiao Bai, and the child in my belly! The three of us will never leave you! We will give you a happy family, give you warmth at home! Let’s put the past behind us, shall we? Let’s only look forward to the future!"
"Anxin, encountering you in this lifetime is my greatest happiness!" As he spoke, he tightened his arms around Ye Anxin unconsciously, wishing he could blend her into his heart.
Listening to Mu Beiting’s words, Ye Anxin’s eyes became red!
In her memory, apart from the last time he was drunk at the hospital, Uncle had never spoken such sentimental words to her!
Uncle saying such words while sober really moved her, making her feel very happy!
Ye Anxin sniffled and choked up, "Me too! Without Uncle, I wouldn’t know how sweet it is to love someone! All I want in this lifetime is to live happily with Uncle!"
"Promise me, no matter what happens, don’t ever leave me again! Promise me...!" By the end, Mu Beiting’s words almost carried a hint of pleading.
This had never appeared in Mu Beiting’s dictionary before!
Always in control, he had never begged anyone! And Ye Anxin was the first and only one!
"I promise you, no matter what happens, I will never leave you!" Ye Anxin held his head tightly, involuntarily planting a kiss on his forehead, a promise.
Hearing Ye Anxin’s assurance, Mu Beiting said nothing more but quietly buried himself in Ye Anxin’s neck, feeling her warmth and breath.
Ye Anxin also said nothing more, just quietly holding him.
No idea how much time passed before Mu Beiting finally slowly let her go! As his handsome face left her neck, it returned to its usual cold and aloof look.
Seeing him wrap himself back up again, Ye Anxin asked worriedly, "Uncle, are you okay? If you’re feeling uncomfortable, just tell me, I will be your most loyal listener!"
Mu Beiting shook his head, said lightly, "I’m okay! Wait for me on the sofa for a bit, I’m about to finish my work! Afterward, we need to go back and have dinner with Xiao Bai!"
"Are you really okay?" Ye Anxin asked worriedly, staring at Mu Beiting’s handsome face, trying to see something from his expression but finding nothing.
"Really okay!" He said, patting her soft white cheeks and helping her up from his lap to stand.
"Then I’ll wait for you on the sofa! We’ll go back together!" Seeing he didn’t want to talk more about this matter, Ye Anxin didn’t continue the topic either, obediently nodded, slowly walked to the sofa, and sat down, picking up the book she hadn’t finished reading at noon to continue.
However, compared to her focus at noon, Ye Anxin couldn’t concentrate at all this time! She kept lifting her head to look at Mu Beiting!
After a while, she realized Mu Beiting was focusing on the documents superficially, but his mind wasn’t on them at all; his thoughts seemed to be wandering!
Initially, Ye Anxin alternated between reading the book and watching Mu Beiting, but eventually, she just stared at Mu Beiting!
The more she watched, the heavier her heart became!
Because from start to finish, Mu Beiting kept looking at the same page of the folder, and she watched him for ten minutes without him turning the page or glancing at her!
Ye Anxin sighed inwardly, put down the book, went to the break room, brewed a cup of coffee for Mu Beiting, and brought it to him, pulling the folder from his hands, she offered him the coffee with concern, "Uncle, have a cup of coffee! If work isn’t urgent, let’s go home after drinking the coffee!"
She knew that even if they stayed at the company now, Uncle wouldn’t be able to get anything done! His mind was no longer on work!
Mo Xuehong’s appearance had already started to unsettle Uncle!
Mu Beiting nodded and took the coffee from Ye Anxin’s hand, taking a sip!
"Uncle, actually... just now at Karo Tea Restaurant, I ran into this Mo Xuehong!" When Ye Anxin spoke these words, she noticeably felt Mu Beiting pause in his motion, though only for a moment, he resumed drinking normally, but Ye Anxin still caught it.
Ye Anxin knew that although he didn’t ask, he still cared internally, so she continued, "Just now at Karo Tea Restaurant, I went to the restroom, and when I came back, Mo Xuehong was talking to the old master in a private room! It was inconvenient for me to enter at the time, so I stood outside the room and listened for a while! I heard her tell the old master she came back this time to find her son! She also said the old master can no longer cover everything, Jin City belongs to her son, she wants to reclaim her son, make the old master kneel before her, confess, and beg for forgiveness!"
Ye Anxin didn’t know how Mu Beiting would feel hearing this!
But if this Mo Xuehong is truly Uncle’s biological mother, then she couldn’t bear to let her hurt Uncle again.
