Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 249: I’m Not

"I’m not!" Mu Beiting answered decisively, without any hesitation.

Hearing this response, Ye Anxin’s tightly wound heartstrings suddenly relaxed.

Although the uncle didn’t make any grand declarations of love, this was already quite rare, wasn’t it?

She also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Beiting glanced at her, held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and guided her across the street.

Ye Anxin nestled against Mu Beiting, thought for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle, what is the relationship between Shengxia and Mr. Gu? If Mr. Gu likes her, why would he get engaged to Miss Ruan?"

"I don’t know!" Mu Beiting replied still indifferently!

Ye Anxin, unwilling to give up, asked again, "Does Mr. Gu like Shengxia or Miss Ruan?"

"I don’t know!" Mu Beiting’s answer was still those three succinct words.

"Uh...!" Seeing Mu Beiting’s lack of knowledge, Ye Anxin sighed inwardly and decided not to ask anything.

After all, even if the uncle knew, he might not be willing to say.

She understood the uncle’s character, which was stingy with words and indifferent to matters that didn’t concern him.

If she wanted to ask the uncle, she’d be better off asking Mr. Yan.

Thinking of this, Ye Anxin stopped speaking, and they returned to the company together.

Once Mu Beiting took a seat behind his desk, Ye Anxin went straight into the office’s lounge, took out her phone from her pants, and dialed Yan Qinghan.

The call was answered after ringing twice.

Once it connected, Yan Qinghan’s frivolous and astonished voice came through, "Hmm... Little sister-in-law, it’s rare for you to call me voluntarily, what a rare guest!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin’s face turned slightly red, and she awkwardly called out, "Mr. Yan...!"

Yan Qinghan chuckled, "Go ahead! What is it that you need from me, little sister-in-law? You wouldn’t call me without a reason! So, tell me, what’s up? Are you having trouble with your uncle again?"

Ye Anxin’s face turned even redder, embarrassed, she said, "Well, today it’s not about uncle! I... I have something else to ask about!"

"Wow, the sun must have risen on the west today! Little sister-in-law asking me about something other than Mu Beiting! Sure, go ahead! Whatever I know, I’ll tell you everything!"

Ye Anxin unconsciously scratched the phone case with her fingers and stuttered, "It’s about Mr. Gu!"

On the other end, Yan Qinghan frowned unconsciously and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Gu? Gu Xingchen?"

Ye Anxin nodded, "Mm!"

Yan Qinghan asked curiously, "Why ask? As far as I know, you have no connection with him, right?"

Ye Anxin hesitated for a while before saying, "I ran into Mr. Gu in the restaurant today! I saw him with another woman!"

Yan Qinghan raised his brows, "And?"

Ye Anxin replied, "But, that woman wasn’t Miss Ruan. She seemed to be called Shengxia!"

Yan Qinghan smirked, "And?"

"And... I’m really curious as to why Mr. Gu is engaged to Miss Ruan when he’s with another woman?" Ye Anxin licked her dry lips, speaking with difficulty.

Though she knew she might be meddling too much, thinking of the matter concerning Ruan Zhitong and uncle urged her to find out.

Yan Qinghan gave a meaningful smile and said, "Little sister-in-law doesn’t seem like someone who pries into other people’s business!"

"Cough, cough...!" Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin choked on her own saliva and coughed violently.

Was Yan Qinghan implying she was meddling?

Though he was right, being called out like this made her feel embarrassed!

Seeing Ye Anxin cough so uncomfortably, Yan Qinghan hurriedly said, "Don’t get excited, little sister-in-law, I was just joking! Don’t get excited, if your uncle finds out, he’ll skin me alive."

Ye Anxin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself.

Just then, the lounge door was pushed open from the outside! Mu Beiting’s tall figure walked in, his face looking displeased, "What’s wrong with you? Why are you coughing so hard?"

Ye Anxin quickly shook her head, "It’s nothing, nothing, I just choked on my saliva!"

"I’ll get you a glass of water!" he said, turning to leave.

Ye Anxin quickly grabbed his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll be fine once I catch my breath, no need for water! Uncle, go on, don’t let me hold you up!"

Mu Beiting’s eyes flickered briefly, and he glanced at the phone Ye Anxin was holding to her ear, then asked with a frown, "Who are you talking to?"

Ye Anxin hurriedly covered the phone with her hand, "I’m talking to Yueyue! Yueyue said she has a homework question she can’t figure out, so she’s asking me!"

Mu Beiting raised his brows, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true! Alright, uncle, go out first! I’ll finish the call quickly and take a nap!" With that, she hurriedly pushed Mu Beiting towards the door.

Mu Beiting pursed his lips in silence and allowed himself to be pushed out of the lounge by Ye Anxin.

Once Mu Beiting left, Ye Anxin finally took a deep breath of relief and put the phone back to her ear.

As soon as the phone was back to her ear, Yan Qinghan’s gleefully malicious voice came through, "Little sister-in-law, you have quite the guts to deceive your uncle! Do you not know that deceiving Mu Beiting leads to serious consequences?"

Ye Anxin rolled her eyes fiercely and chose not to dwell on that topic, continuing to ask, "I’m just curious, Mr. Gu seems so in love with Miss Ruan, why would he be affectionate with another woman? Who is that Miss Shengxia?"

Yan Qinghan stopped teasing Ye Anxin and replied with a smile, "Shengxia, well, all I know is her last name is Lin, called Lin Shengxia, and she’s been with Xingchen for quite some time!"

Ye Anxin hurriedly asked, "Since they are together, why would Mr. Gu want to get engaged to Miss Ruan?"

Yan Qinghan laughed and said, "How would I know? I’m not Xingchen’s belly worm, how could I know what he’s thinking! Furthermore, Xingchen has liked Ruan Zhitong since six years ago and has never forgotten her these past six years, so isn’t it normal for him to get engaged to Ruan Zhitong?"

"...!" Yan Qinghan said so much, yet Ye Anxin felt like it was all nonsense!

Ultimately, he still couldn’t resolve the confusion in her heart.

Ye Anxin gritted her teeth and straightforwardly asked, "Will Mr. Gu marry Miss Ruan?"

"Cough, cough...!" This time it was Yan Qinghan’s turn to cough.

Seeing him cough so severely, Ye Anxin’s pretty face flushed, realizing she might have been too direct?

Yet, yet she truly felt uncertain.

If Ruan Zhitong and Gu Xingchen were deeply in love, she’d be at peace and wouldn’t overthink anything.
