Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 281: Showing Off Love

Seeing her coughing severely, Huo Junmo handed her a glass of water and gently patted her back as she sipped the tea.

Yan Qinghan said matter-of-factly, "How could we not know how to play something as low-intelligence as Mahjong? Just a glance and we get it! We just don’t have time usually because we’re busy, but today we happen to be together, so we can play! It’s a great time to indulge! Maybe we can even play Mahjong while watching the Spring Festival Gala!"

Gu Xingchen was the first to nod in agreement, "I agree!"

Yan Qinghan turned to Huo Junmo and Xiang Qingshi, "Xingchen has agreed, so Junmo and Qingshi shouldn’t have any objections, right?"

Xiang Qingshi shrugged, "Of course, no objections!"

Huo Junmo also nodded in agreement, "Sure!"

Ye Anxin’s mouth twitched, not daring to look at the extremely displeased face of Mu Beiting.

Ruan Zhitong also noticed Mu Beiting’s sour expression and couldn’t help but remind, "Um, should we ask Be... uh... Mr. Mu’s opinion?"

Yan Qinghan waved his hand dismissively, "Ignore him!"

"Uh...!" Ruan Zhitong didn’t know how to respond.

Mu Beiting abruptly stood up and said coldly, "Butler, show them out! If they don’t leave, throw them out!"

The butler steeled himself and said, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Xiang, Mr. Gu, Mr. Huo, our master has spoken, please don’t make it difficult for me!"

Yan Qinghan said indifferently, "It’s New Year’s, Mu Beiting, we should be happy! Look at you, always with that stern face, be careful, your little wife might just not be able to take it and leave you!"

Mu Beiting’s lips tightened, and he squeezed out a word through his teeth, "Leave!"

Ye Anxin quickly held Mu Beiting’s arm, speaking sweetly, "Uncle, just let them play! After all, it’s never been this lively at home! It’s New Year, it should be lively! It’s too cold and quiet otherwise, it feels strange!"

Mu Beiting turned to look at Ye Anxin, his eyes flickering.

"Uncle, please agree! Just this once! Look, the guests are all here; could we really chase them away? Besides, they’re all Uncle’s best friends, just use this chance to bond a bit!" She continued, fearing Mu Beiting would refuse, giving him a little nudge.

Since childhood, she’s been used to a lively New Year’s!

The first reason she invited them over was to liven things up, and the second was to hopefully change Mu Beiting’s attitude, to be less cold and more engaging with people!

These people, although his good buddies, usually put up with Uncle’s aloofness!

However, people’s hearts are tender, and if time goes on with Uncle treating them like this, she’s afraid they’ll give up on him and cut off ties.

She genuinely hopes Uncle doesn’t end up alone with just her!

Mu Beiting remained firm with his reply, "Not necessary!"

"Uncle... but I want it to be lively! Back home, I always watched the Spring Festival Gala with Dad, Mom, and Yueyue! I’m used to it being lively, and I’m not used to such quietness at home!" Ye Anxin continued to try to persuade Mu Beiting softly.

She knew, when she spoke, Uncle would definitely agree!

Because Uncle always does his best to meet her requests!

Seeing Mu Beiting’s resolve wavering, Yan Qinghan also chimed in to persuade, "The little wife is right; you’re used to being by yourself! Now that the little wife has just married you, should you really have her spend New Year so quietly with you? The little wife already compromised to marry you, you should be more understanding and cherish her!"

Ye Anxin nudged Mu Beiting’s shoulder, continuing, "Uncle, please agree! Besides, I’ve never played Mahjong in all my life! I really want to try it!"

"Okay!" Under Ye Anxin’s soft persuasion, Mu Beiting finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing Mu Beiting finally agree, Yan Qinghan quickly said to the butler, "Butler, go buy a Mahjong table quickly!"

"I’ll go right away!" The butler nodded and left happily.

He was also glad to have a normal New Year!

Ever since Madam came home, the atmosphere became much more normal.

The delivery arrived quickly; with one call from the butler, the Mahjong table was delivered within two hours.

Following Ye Anxin’s instructions, the butler had it placed in a room on the second floor.

As soon as the delivery workers left, Yan Qinghan eagerly plopped down on the east side.

Ling Yueyue stood by the Mahjong table, frowning, "What about the five of us? How do we play?"

Yan Qinghan responded, "Whoever loses to the others switches out, and the one who draws their own wins switches with the one across!"

"Alright!" Ling Yueyue nodded and looked at Huo Junmo, asking, "Do you want to play or should I?"

Seeing her so excited and eager, Huo Junmo smiled and said, "If you want to play, you play! I’ll teach you on the side!"

"Okay!" Ling Yueyue didn’t hold back and sat down directly.

Gu Xingchen chose a spot and said to Ruan Zhitong, "Do you want to play?"

Ruan Zhitong shook her head, "I don’t know how!"

"It’s okay, I’ll teach you!" he said, not waiting for Ruan Zhitong to nod, and directly seated her down.

Watching the pairs of them, Yan Qinghan snorted, "Showing off your love in front of me, huh? Hmph...! Just you wait, one day I’ll show you too!"

Xiang Qingshi said amusedly, "No worries, I’m here to accompany you!"

"Hmph!" Yan Qinghan snorted, lifting his chin high.

Ye Anxin politely said, "Mr. Xiang, you can go ahead and play! I’ll watch you guys for a while!"

Xiang Qingshi softly replied, "It’s better for the little wife to play! I don’t mind waiting a bit!"

Ye Anxin quickly waved her hand in refusal, "No, no, I don’t know how to play! I’ll watch you play first, observe for a while and then join you later!"

"I’ll teach you!" Mu Beiting coldly interjected, then without considering Ye Anxin’s preference, seated her directly.

"...!" Ye Anxin was taken aback, giving Xiang Qingshi an apologetic smile and obediently sat down.

As the game began, Ling Yueyue maneuvered her tiles clumsily, asking, "How much are we playing for?"

Yan Qinghan quickly sorted his tiles, leisurely saying, "With close friends like us, let’s not play big, ten thousand per game! Three hundred thousand limit!"

Upon hearing this, both Ye Anxin and Ling Yueyue shuddered, nearly dropping their tiles!

What do you mean "not big" with close friends? Ten thousand per game?

Is ten thousand per game not big?

Then what is considered big?

Is RMB not considered money to them?

Yan Qinghan looked at them puzzled, raising an eyebrow, "What, too small? How about twenty thousand per game?"

Ling Yueyue couldn’t stand it any longer, "Yan Qinghan, is ten thousand per game still small? Where would we get that kind of money?"
