Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 280: Sophisticated Men

Ye Anxin hooked her arm around his and gently shook it, playfully calling out, "Uncle!"

Mu Beiting said nothing, his thin lips pressed tightly together!

"Mu Beiting, let me tell you, it’s easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away. Since we’re here, we won’t leave until we’ve had our meal!" Saying this, she plopped herself down on the sofa.

Mu Beiting’s expression turned serious, as ’difficulty’ was an understatement for it.

Ye Anxin sneaked a glance at him, licked her lips, and softly coaxed, "Uncle, the food is ready, if we don’t eat soon, it’ll all get cold!"

Mu Beiting still remained silent, his lips still pressed together.

"Come on! Since the food’s ready, let’s eat! We’re already here, there’s no way we’re leaving with empty stomachs!" Yan Qinghan got up lazily from the sofa and went straight to his usual seat at the dining table.

Once Yan Qinghan sat down, the others followed suit, making themselves comfortable in the dining room, each finding a place to sit.

Everyone was quite tactful, leaving the main seat and the one to the left of it unoccupied.

Seeing Mu Beiting still standing there, Ye Anxin quickly coaxed, "Uncle, the guests are all seated, let’s go too! I’ve been busy all morning, and I’m starving!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Mu Beiting hesitated, stiffened, and then finally turned to the kitchen. He pulled out a chair for Ye Anxin to sit down, and only then did he take the main seat himself.

Ye Anxin blushed, pointed at the table full of dishes, and bashfully said, "I made all this this morning. I hope you all don’t mind, enjoy the food and drinks!"

"Let’s eat, let’s eat! Since I tried sister-in-law’s cooking last time, I haven’t been able to forget it! Finally, I have the chance to taste it again!" Saying this, he began digging in with his chopsticks.

"Anxin, I won’t hold back either! I haven’t tasted your cooking in a long time, I’ve missed it!" Ling Yueyue chuckled, picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat!

Throughout the meal, she didn’t forget to add some of Huo Jiantian’s favorite dishes to his bowl.

Huo Jiantian was sitting next to Huo Junmo. Every time Ling Yueyue added something to his bowl, he gave her a glare. But despite his glare, he obediently ate everything she gave him.

Yan Qinghan was gorging himself on food, his mouth full, yet still found the words to praise, "Delicious, delicious! Sister-in-law’s skills have improved quite a bit! It’s really worth coming today!"

Ye Anxin shyly smiled, picked up her chopsticks, and placed some of Mu Beiting’s favorite dishes into his bowl, "Uncle, I made these myself. Please try them! I even learned from our family chef just to make these!"

Mu Beiting’s eyes flickered, and he leisurely picked up his chopsticks to eat the food Ye Anxin had placed in his bowl.

Ruan Zhitong held her bowl, watching the affectionate interaction between Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting, and couldn’t bring herself to pick up her chopsticks for a long time.

Gu Xingchen smiled broadly, adding some vegetables to her bowl, and softly said, "Zhitong, you should eat more too!"

"Thank you!" Ruan Zhitong snapped back to awareness, gave Gu Xingchen a warm smile, and silently continued eating.

Xiang Qingshi teased while eating, "Qinghan, where’s that love-struck woman of yours? Why didn’t you bring her today?"

Yan Qinghan pouted, resignedly saying, "Her! She’s gone back to spend New Year’s with her parents! I can’t help it, I’m still not as important as her parents in her heart!"

Xiang Qingshi raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, "Given your personality, why didn’t you go with her?"

Yan Qinghan protested, "Hey, am I that clingy? Besides, it’s just New Year’s, it’ll only be two or three days, she’ll be back soon! Why should I go there for?"

Gu Xingchen couldn’t help but tease with a laugh, "Qingshi, you’re too much, you know he’s feeling down, no need to rub salt in his wound!"

Xiang Qingshi blinked innocently, "Down? I wasn’t aware."

Gu Xingchen ignored the progressively disgruntled Yan Qinghan, continuing, "How could you not know that woman left him behind alone and snuck off by herself? She even forbade him to follow, or else they’d break up! What’s he supposed to do but wait alone at home!"

Xiang Qingshi feigned a revelation, laughing, "Oh! So that’s what happened! Hard to believe the invincible Yan Qinghan, who’s unbeatable on the battlefield of love, is actually being defeated now! Honestly, I’m curious to see what kind of woman she is!"

Gu Xingchen added with a smile, "I’m also really curious, we must meet her properly someday!"

Yan Qinghan’s emotional wound was revealed, and with salt being rubbed in, he put his bowl and chopsticks down on the table angrily, "Hey, enough! Can we just enjoy our meal?"

"Why, you’re allowed to tease us, but we can’t tease you?" Gu Xingchen raised an eyebrow, not caring about his anger at all.

Come to think of it, Yan Qinghan’s tongue has gotten him into trouble so many times over the years.

Who would’ve thought that today would be the day for revenge!

"Hmph!" Yan Qinghan snorted coldly and picked up his bowl and chopsticks again, sulking as he ate.

Xiang Qingshi and Gu Xingchen exchanged a glance, watching Yan Qinghan’s small defeat. Their hearts felt lighter, and their appetites seemingly increased.

Ye Anxin, eating as she spoke, asked, "Is everyone watching the Spring Festival Gala tonight?"

Yan Qinghan pouted with disdain, "Tch! What’s there to see? The Spring Festival Gala, is it for people like us to watch? It’s so dumb, it’ll lower our IQ!"

Ling Yueyue quickly asked, "Anxin, do you want to watch it? Let’s watch it together? My Mr. Huo doesn’t watch the Gala either! Watching it with this kid isn’t fun at all! We might as well watch it together, like old times!"

Before Ye Anxin could answer, Mu Beiting had already refused, "No!"

Ling Yueyue asked in confusion, "Why? Are you going to watch it with her?"

Mu Beiting continued eating without replying to her.

Yan Qinghan laughed and explained, "Yueyue, you obviously don’t understand Mu Beiting! He wants to keep sister-in-law to himself! It’s their first New Year together; they’re definitely spending it as a couple! Do you think he’d agree if you two watched the Spring Festival Gala and left him alone?"

Yan Qinghan’s explanation finally cleared things up for Ling Yueyue.

Yeah! Mu Beiting is famous for his strong possessiveness, and here she was, trying to compete with him for his woman. She must have had a death wish.

As Yan Qinghan ate, he suddenly suggested, "Why don’t we play Mahjong here tonight?"

Ling Yueyue almost choked on her food, coughing as she incredulously asked, "Cough...! You all know how to play Mahjong?"

She thought that people as sophisticated as them wouldn’t play Mahjong! They should be engaging in more sophisticated activities, like golf!
