Chapter 786 - 829: Be Ruthless
Ye’s mother held little Chu Yi, rocking back and forth with a puzzled expression, "Why is she crying? Am I holding her the wrong way and making her uncomfortable?"Ye Anxin twitched the corner of her mouth and said coolly, "She’s upset because she’s suddenly separated from her dad and is throwing a tantrum!"
With Ye Anxin’s reminder, Ye’s mother recalled that in the days following Chu Yi’s birth, she would cry when held by others, but whenever Mu Beiting held her, she would instantly smile!
Thinking of this, Ye’s mother quickly handed little Chu Yi back to Mu Beiting, "Beiting, you better hold her! The child is still young, she shouldn’t be crying!"
Upon hearing little Chu Yi cry, Mu Beiting also looked pained and reached out to take her back into his arms!
Sure enough, once Mu Beiting held her, little Chu Yi immediately stopped crying and showed him a sweet smile.
Seeing this, Ye’s mother couldn’t help but laugh, "This child is something else, cries when she wants, laughs when she wants!"
Ye Anxin shrugged helplessly, "Chu Yi loves her daddy the most, then Xiao Bai! You have no idea, when the two of them are home, she completely disregards me! Always wants her dad and brother to hold her!"
"Since she won’t let me hold her, I’ll go help Sister Qing in the kitchen! Anxin, you sit with Xiao Bai and watch some TV. I’ll call you when the food is ready!" With that, Ye’s mother gave Chu Yi and Xiao Bai one last look, then headed to the kitchen!
Thinking the kitchen wasn’t very big and that Sister Qing and her mother were enough help, Ye Anxin decided not to assist, opting instead to watch TV with Xiao Bai in the living room.
All along, Mu Beiting played with little Chu Yi! Even though they weren’t doing much, as long as Mu Beiting was watching her, little Chu Yi was filled with joy!
Sister Qing and Ye’s mother were quick, and in no time, a table full of dishes was ready!
Because Ye Anxin had reminded them in advance, to let Mu Beiting dine comfortably, all the plates, bowls, and chopsticks were brand new, never used before! Additionally, they were placed in a sterilizer for disinfection before being brought out!
Mu Beiting sat down with Chu Yi in his arms at the table! Worried it might be difficult for him to eat while holding Chu Yi, Ye Anxin quickly said, "Uncle, give Chu Yi to me! You eat!"
"No need! I can eat while holding her!" Mu Beiting shook his head, balancing Chu Yi in one arm while cautiously picking up chopsticks to eat with the other.
Seeing how adeptly Mu Beiting managed without a hint of awkwardness, Ye Anxin didn’t press further, quickly devouring her meal.
She only thought of finishing quickly so she could take Chu Yi, allowing Mu Beiting to eat in peace!
However, when she finished and took little Chu Yi from Mu Beiting, Chu Yi burst into loud crying without any courtesy!
Seeing little Chu Yi cry again, Mu Beiting wanted to take her back, but Ye Anxin dodged!
Ye Anxin looked down sternly at little Chu Yi cradled in her arms, displeased, "Little thing, are you doing this on purpose? Crying when mommy holds you too? Be good, let daddy finish his meal before you go back to him, okay?"
Unfortunately, no matter what was said, little Chu Yi was inconsolable, crying even harder! Not just crying, she pouted, blinked her teary eyes, and gazed at Ye Anxin with a face full of grievance.
Her eyes seemed to accuse Ye Anxin of separating her from her beloved daddy!
At this, not only did Ye Anxin’s mouth twitch, but even her eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch together!
This little one clearly knew her dad was nearby, thus intentionally acting spoiled!
Only two months old, and she already knew how to be coquettish. Should Ye Anxin feel happy about this, or happy about this?
"Forget it, let me hold her! I’m busy with work usually and don’t have much time to hold her!" Seeing how pitifully Chu Yi was crying, Mu Beiting couldn’t bear it and reached out to take Chu Yi from Ye Anxin’s arms.
Sure enough, the moment Chu Yi was back in Mu Beiting’s arms, she stopped crying, tears still in her eyes, and gave Mu Beiting a sly smile.
Looking at Chu Yi’s face, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes! Losing interest in meddling with the father-daughter pair, she let Mu Beiting hold Chu Yi in one arm while eating with the other.
After lunch, Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin sat on the sofa for a while! Only when little Chu Yi lazily yawned and fell asleep in Mu Beiting’s arms did they get up to leave!
Originally, Ye’s mother wanted to see them off at least to the complex entrance, watching them get into their car and leave, but Mu Beiting declined!
Helpless, Ye’s mother had to escort them to the elevator door.
While waiting for the elevator, Ye’s mother took Ye Anxin’s arm gently and asked quietly, "Anxin! Your birthday is coming up in a few days! Will you have time to come over? Mom wants to celebrate for you!"
Upon hearing Ye’s mother, Mu Beiting’s hand holding little Chu Yi visibly twitched! A complex expression appeared on his handsome face, which had been downcast.
Ye Anxin smiled lightly, brushing it off, "Mom, come on, at my age, what’s the point of a birthday! Each birthday just reminds me I’ve aged another year! Besides, I’m a mother of two now, what birthday!"
Ye’s mother poked Ye Anxin’s forehead hard, agitated, "This child! What nonsense are you saying? At your age, does that mean I should be old enough for the grave?"
"Oh, it’s too much trouble! It’s just a birthday! No need to celebrate!" As Ye Anxin finished, the elevator doors opened in front of them!
"Mom, we’re off, you head back in!" Waving at Ye’s mother, she took Xiao Bai’s hand and stepped into the elevator with Mu Beiting.
As the elevator doors closed slowly, and Ye’s mother watched the numbers change overhead, she finally turned to head back inside!
Just as she reached the doorway, and before she could close it, Ye Shan suddenly darted out from around the corner, grabbing the door handle with a grin, and addressed her ingratiatingly, "Honey...!"
Ye’s mother didn’t even bother to look, aiming to close the door promptly.
Ye Shan held the doorknob firmly, shamelessly, "Honey, how come Mu Beiting visited? How could someone of such stature lower himself to come here! Seems like he’s truly good to you and Anxin!"
Ye’s mother stated flatly, "Whether he’s good to us or not has nothing to do with you!"
Ye Shan, playing to her sympathies, "Honey, look, you all are happily together, the whole family joyful! While I’m all alone, not even able to enter my own house! Can’t you pity me and forgive me? Anxin is so filial, I believe if you open your heart, she’d forgive me too! Last time, I didn’t even want the fifty million, showing that my return is true-hearted for a reunion and not for the money!"
