Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 342: A Chance Encounter with Li Lin

The next day, Ye Anxin got up early, changed into casual, comfortable clothes, and went downstairs. After having breakfast, she went out hand in hand with Mu Beiting!

They went to the most bustling mall in Jin City, and Ye Anxin didn’t waste any time, heading straight to the children’s clothing department with Mu Beiting!

As always, Mu Beiting didn’t offer much input and just stayed by Ye Anxin’s side!

Once Ye Anxin entered the children’s clothing store, she couldn’t take her eyes off the clothes!

Looking at all the children’s outfits, a soft spot in her heart seemed to be gently touched!

"Salesperson, pack this one, this one, this one, and that one for me. I’ll take them all!" Ye Anxin pointed to one beautiful baby outfit after another, finding each one more lovely than the last!

If possible, she truly wanted to take the entire store’s inventory home to gift to Tiantian!

"Of course!" The salesperson, seeing Ye Anxin’s enthusiasm, quickly packed all the clothes she pointed at and placed them on the checkout counter!

Ye Anxin swiped her card, and Mu Beiting, without a word, carried the shopping bags!

After leaving the children’s clothing store, Ye Anxin continued to buy a crib and a baby stroller! However, for the bigger items, Ye Anxin simply provided her address and had them delivered!

After buying everything for Little Tiantian, Ye Anxin went to buy things for Tiantian!

The variety of boys’ clothing was noticeably less than for girls! With fewer choices, Ye Anxin made her purchases quickly!

Before long, she had bought several outfits for Tiantian as well!

Once the clothes were bought, Ye Anxin took Mu Beiting to the toy store!

"Welcome!" As Ye Anxin approached the entrance, the greeter standing there respectfully greeted them!

Ye Anxin’s brisk steps halted abruptly upon hearing the voice, and she couldn’t move for a moment! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

This voice... this voice... isn’t that... isn’t that her?

With confusion and doubt filling her heart, Ye Anxin turned her head to look at the greeter!

At that moment, the greeter also looked up!

Their eyes met, and upon recognizing each other’s face, both were stunned!

Ye Anxin looked at the flamboyantly dressed, yet noticeably tired Li Lin and exclaimed in disbelief, "Teacher Li, why are you here?"

Indeed, the greeter was none other than Ye Anxin’s former teacher, Li Lin!

Since she returned to school this semester, she hadn’t seen Li Lin again!

She didn’t know where Li Lin had gone; she only heard from classmates that Li Lin had been imprisoned for some unknown reason!

Because Li Lin was never popular in the class, neither teachers nor students liked her!

So, no one ever mentioned visiting her in prison!

Soon, it seemed as though she was completely forgotten by everyone, almost entirely erased from their memories!

And since Ye Anxin didn’t have any special bond with Li Lin, she naturally forgot about her as well!

But she never expected, never even imagined, to see her here today!

Instead of being a good teacher, she ended up working as a salesperson in a toy store!

"Ye Anxin!" Li Lin was equally surprised to see Ye Anxin, clearly not expecting to encounter her here!

Upon seeing Ye Anxin, the repressed hatred in her heart surged uncontrollably!

It was her, all because of her! If it weren’t for Ye Anxin, Li Lin wouldn’t have fallen to this point, from a respected teacher to a salesperson smiling at customers!

For someone as proud as she was, it was even more painful than death!

Ye Anxin, wide-eyed, asked incredulously, "Teacher Li, why are you here?"

"Why am I here? Shouldn’t you ask yourself? Thanks to you, I...!" Before Li Lin could finish, Mu Beiting’s cold stare forced her words back down!

Li Lin pursed her lips, dyed red with lipstick, and glanced timidly at Mu Beiting!

Despite the intensity of her hatred for Ye Anxin, she didn’t dare show it in front of Mu Beiting!

Mu Beiting was not someone she could afford to offend!

Ye Anxin pointed at herself, clueless, and asked, "Me? What do you mean thanks to me? Teacher Li, I don’t understand?"

"Hmph!" Li Lin snorted and turned her head, avoiding both Ye Anxin’s gaze and Mu Beiting’s piercing eyes!

Just then, the store manager came over, glaring at Li Lin and without caring about Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting’s presence, said harshly, "Li Lin, what are you doing? Is this how you treat customers? If you continue like this, you’re fired! If you hadn’t begged me on your knees, do you think I would employ someone with a record? Take care of the customers if you don’t want to leave!"

Li Lin clenched her jaw tightly, her hands in front of her balled into fists! Only by doing this could she suppress her overwhelming resentment and anger!

Hearing the manager’s words, Ye Anxin gasped and asked in disbelief, "A record? Teacher Li, were the rumors true? Did you really get imprisoned?"

Ye Anxin’s words were like a sharp knife, cutting open the barely healed wound in her heart!

Li Lin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were red but her face had returned to her signature smile!

She had nothing left now, and couldn’t afford to lose this job, else she truly wouldn’t know what to do!

Due to her recent release from prison, no employer dared to hire her!

After searching for a job for half a month, this toy store owner finally agreed to hire her! No matter what, she had to hold onto this job!

As for her grudge against Ye Anxin, she would settle it slowly in the future!

With a calm and composed smile, Li Lin said, "Ma’am, this is work time, not a time for personal matters. May I assist you with anything, or any questions about the toys in this store, that I can help answer?"

Ye Anxin was momentarily stunned by Li Lin’s sudden change! But she quickly understood!

Indeed! If Teacher Li had just been released from prison, why should she expose her wounds?

Everyone makes mistakes; as long as someone can truly reform, isn’t that enough?

With that in mind, Ye Anxin smiled, "Teacher Li, I want to buy some toys for a friend’s son. Could you recommend something? My friend’s son is already over six years old!"

Ye Anxin knew that a salesperson’s salary often depended on their sales performance; the more they sold, the higher the commission!

She said this purely to help Li Lin, so she could earn more!

However, to Li Lin, it sounded completely different!
