Chapter 37: You Just Need to Obey What I Say

When Mu Beiting said this, Ye Anxin suddenly remembered what had happened that morning, and a realization suddenly dawned upon her. “Mister, you were talking about what happened this morning. Ha, ha…if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about it.” As she said that, she scratched her head with embarrassment and continued, “Mister, you actually misunderstood the situation. I didn’t deliberately go there for the purpose of seeing Huo Yunmo. It was just that this kid suddenly came over to me this morning and said that he was lost. I was afraid that he could be abducted by human traffickers, so I promised to take him to find his father. I didn’t expect his father to be Huo Yunmo, and I didn’t mean to disobey you. All of this was purely a coincidence.”

“Coincidence?” Mu Beiting snorted, then said with disdain, “Huo Yunmo’s son? The dignified young master of the Huotian Corporation? Would someone like him ever get lost?”

Ye Anxin blinked, then she asked in bewilderment, “Mister, what do you mean by that?”

Mu Beiting didn’t answer her then, but later in the conversation, he returned to the topic, “Mark my words. Stay away from Huo Yunmo and Huo Jiantian in the future.”

After seeing that Mu Beiting was so firm on this subject, the confusion in Ye Anxin’s heart became even deeper. She leaned toward him, took his arm, and asked with curiosity, “Mister, why do you keep telling me to stay away from Huo Yunmo? Isn’t he your good bro? Could he actually hurt me?”

Mu Beiting frowned, but he didn’t wave off her hand that was holding his arm. He said in a domineering and assertive manner, “There’s no why. You just need to obey what I say.”

“But…!” Ye Anxin frowned.

She was normally a mild-mannered person who didn’t like quarreling or arguing with others. In fact, as long as people didn’t violate her moral bottom line, she would nod and agree with them.

So yesterday, when Mu Beiting had asked her to stay away from Huo Yunmo and Gu Xingchen, she’d promptly agreed without hesitation.

However, Mu Beiting’s stance today was so unyielding that it actually aroused her curiosity.

She just didn’t understand the reason. They were all good friends and all good bros, so why did he have to keep her away from them? Would they actually hurt her?

“No more buts. I’m giving you an order.” Upon seeing that Ye Anxin didn’t seem to be listening to him and was asking a lot of unnecessary questions, Mu Beiting pushed away her hand that had been holding onto his arm, stood up, and walked upstairs.

“Mister, why are you so unreasonable? I can promise you not to see Huo Yunmo, but you have to tell me why. He doesn’t look like a bad guy.” Ye Anxin also stood up and quickly followed him upstairs, step by step.

“That is an order, and I don’t have to give you a reason.” Mu Beiting said this coldly, opened the study door, and closed it again in her face. He shut Ye Anxin outside the door once again.

Ye Anxin rested her head against the door, patted the door feebly, and said helplessly, “Mister, can we please have a proper conversation? Please open the door. Don’t be angry. I’ll promise you, all right?”

Unfortunately, like last night, in response to her pleas, there was only silence.

Ye Anxin sighed and stood outside the door for a while. Upon understanding that Mu Beiting had no plans to come out, she had no choice but to return to her room.

…

On Saturday, Ye Anxin got out of bed especially early in the morning. After washing up, she went out without even having had breakfast.

An hour after Ye Anxin left, Mu Beting returned from his morning run. He took a shower in the bathroom of the study, then went downstairs for breakfast after changing his clothes.

However, he sat at the table for a long time without eating. As if he was waiting for something, he kept glancing at the stairs.

The butler looked at him and said hesitantly, “Mister…?”

Mu Beiting said airily, “Go and ask Madame to come down for breakfast.”
