Mu Beiting finished his business very late that night. He made a gesture with his eyes to Pete, who stood up and went to the underground parking garage to get the car for him.

Pete sat down in the driver’s seat and was about to start the engine when he suddenly remembered the conversation he had had with Ye Anxin earlier in the day. He hesitated for a moment, and then, for some reason, he took out his phone and the note with her phone number and sent a text message to Ye Anxin.

Ye Anxin, who was sleeping by this time, was awakened by the text message, and she dazedly took out her phone to take a look at the message. When she saw the content of the message, it was as if her entire body had been galvanized. She immediately became very serious.

Ye Anxin glanced at the time. It was already 11:30 at night. Mu Beiting must be hungry by this time. She would go and cook him some supper now so he could enjoy the food as soon as he got home.

Upon deciding this, Ye Anxin didn’t consider anything else. She went straight downstairs and entered the kitchen.

At this time, all the servants in the villa were already asleep, and the huge villa was eerily quiet. But that didn’t affect Ye Anxin’s current high spirits. After entering the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves and started to work right away.

When Mu Beiting returned home, as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the delicious scent of food.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Ye Anxin walked out of the kitchen while holding a soup bowl in both hands. Looking at Mu Beiting with a smile, she chuckled as she said, “You’re back! You must be hungry, aren’t you? I’ve made noodles for you, so come and eat.” After saying that, she put the bowl full of noodles on a table outside the kitchen.

Mu Beiting looked at her with his brows tightly knitted together, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his cold eyes.

“Mister, don’t just stand there in a daze. Come and eat.” Ye Anxin approached Mu Beiting, grabbed his sleeve, and tried to drag him toward the table.

Unfortunately, Mu Beiting didn’t react at all. He continued standing there as anchored as if he were a mountain.

Ye Anxin turned her head, and only when she took a closer look did she see the expression on Mu Beiting’s face clearly. She asked in confusion, “Mister, what’s wrong with you? Are you upset?”

Mu Beiting looked at her quietly and then asked slowly, “You knew I was coming home?”

Realization suddenly dawned on Ye Anxin, and she looked confused as she explained in a panic, “No, no, mister. You have misunderstood. Big Brother Pete didn’t tell me where you were. This was a coincidence, a complete coincidence.”

Her words undoubtedly confirmed Mu Beiting’s suspicions, and Mu Beiting’s brows furrowed so tightly that they could have basically squeezed a fly to death.

As soon as she’d spoken, Ye Anxin realized that she had sold Pete out.

Mu Beiting glanced at her and then turned to walk upstairs silently.

Ye Anxin grabbed his arm and continued anxiously, “Mister, this matter really has nothing to do with Brother Pete. I begged him to text me when you were coming home, so please don’t blame him. Blame me if you want to blame someone.”

Mu Beiting stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked her up and down. His thin lips opened slightly as he asked, “You care about him?”

“Uh!” Ye Anxin froze. For a moment, she didn’t understand what he meant by that comment.

Mu Beiting didn’t say anything further. He pried Ye Anxin’s hand off his arm and went straight upstairs.

Ye Anxin quickly followed and jogged to catch up to him. Holding his arm affectionately, she said with a smile, “Mister, it really has nothing to do with Pete, so don’t let your anger make you take it out on him. All right? I was only concerned about you and afraid that you would go hungry, so I made you a midnight meal. See, I have classes tomorrow, but for you, I still haven’t gone to bed yet at this hour. This is enough to prove how important you are to me. Mister…Mister!” Upon seeing that Mu Beiting was still ignoring her, Ye Anxin called out to him coquettishly while caressing his arm gently.
