Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 785 - 828: Making Introductions

As if sensing something in the corner, Mu Beiting’s sharp eyes suddenly glanced over there! Just as his gaze swept across, Ye Shan happened to hide away.Looking at the empty corner, Mu Beiting slightly frowned, holding little Chu Yi, and walked into the room.

"Come, come, sit down! I’ll get you some water!" Ye Mu excitedly invited Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin, and Xiao Bai to sit on the sofa, then went to pour them some water!

Because this was the first time Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai were officially visiting, even though Ye Mu had spent days preparing mentally, she was still a bit too excited! Even her hands couldn’t help but tremble slightly when pouring water.

"Have some tea!" Ye Mu placed four cups of water on a tray in front of Mu Beiting, letting him set them on the coffee table in front of them!

Looking at the four cups of water on the coffee table, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but tease, "Four cups of water? Mom, did you plan on giving one of the cups to Chu Yi too?"

It was only then that Ye Mu realized in her excitement, she had forgotten that Chu Yi was just two months old and had poured her a cup as if she were an adult.

Ye Mu blushed and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was too happy and forgot Chu Yi is only two months old!"

"Mom, don’t be so formal and don’t be too nervous! We are your daughter and son-in-law; why are you acting as if a leader is inspecting? Come, come... sit beside me and let’s have a good chat!" As she spoke, Ye Anxin moved closer to Mu Beiting, making room for Ye Mu.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Mu responded perfunctorily, then walked over to Xiao Bai, patted his head, and smiled, "Xiao Bai, since this is your first time at grandma’s house, there are lots of fruits prepared outside. Why don’t you sit here for a bit, and I’ll go wash some fruit for you, okay?"

Hearing Ye Mu’s address, Ye Anxin frowned slightly, unhappy, and said, "Mom, grandma is grandma, it’s the same, calling her grandma is too formal!"

Ye Mu hesitated, "Is this... okay?"

Ye Anxin didn’t speak, but Xiao Bai, puzzled, spoke up, "You’re my mom’s mom, so you should naturally be called grandma! Why call you grandma?"

To him, only dad, mom, and Chu Yi were family; everyone else was an outsider!

However, he felt, why is dad’s mom called grandma, but mom’s mom has to be called grandma? Shouldn’t both be called grandma?

Does it mean dad’s mom is closer, but mom’s mom is not?

Hearing Xiao Bai’s words, Ye Mu’s face immediately bloomed with a smile, "Grandma was afraid you’d mind! As long as you don’t mind, you can call me whatever you like!"

"Mhm!" Xiao Bai nodded seriously, then sat quietly without saying a word!

"I’ll go wash some fruits; you all sit for a while!" With that, Ye Mu turned and went to busy herself again.

Watching Ye Mu’s excitement causing her to appear a bit flustered, Ye Anxin smiled and shook her head. After whispering a few words to Mu Beiting, she got up from the sofa and followed Ye Mu into the kitchen!

When Ye Anxin arrived in the kitchen, Aunt Qing was there tidying up, while Ye Mu took fruits out of a shopping bag and rinsed them under the faucet!

"Mom, let me help you!" Ye Anxin walked over, rolled up her sleeves, and took a red apple to rinse under the faucet.

Ye Mu didn’t dare let Ye Anxin help in the kitchen and desperately pushed her out, "There’s no need for you to help here. Go out and accompany Beiting and Xiao Bai! If Beiting knows that you come home as a guest and still have to work, he’ll say I’m inconsiderate!"

Ye Anxin didn’t care, "Mom, don’t worry! Right now, all he sees and thinks about is his precious daughter; there’s no trace of me anywhere! Instead of watching the father and daughter be lovey-dovey outside, I’d rather come in to help! Saves me from getting jealous!"

Hearing this, Ye Mu glanced at Ye Anxin and said with feigned annoyance, "You silly child! Who gets jealous of their own daughter?"

Feigning grievance, Ye Anxin said, "Mom, you don’t know, Uncle is a textbook daughter-dad type. Whenever he has time, he plays with Chu Yi, and Chu Yi’s the same! One moment she’s crying uncontrollably, the next, Uncle picks her up, and she stops crying and starts smiling! You tell me... how can I not get jealous?"

"That’s because they have a good father-daughter relationship, which is a good thing!" Then she handed the apple in her hand to Ye Anxin, "I wash, you slice, there are toothpicks on the coffee table outside!"

"Okay!" Ye Anxin nodded, found a fruit knife, and as soon as Ye Mu washed a fruit, she would cut it into small pieces and plate them!

The mother and daughter worked together, and soon, three plates of fruit were ready! One plate of apples, one plate of pears, one plate of dragon fruit!

When Ye Mu and Ye Anxin brought out the sliced fruits, they saw Mu Beiting looking down, continually playing with little Chu Yi in his arms, while Xiao Bai sat nearby, arms crossed and pouting, watching them with a sad look, as if he were a little neglected jealous lover.

Seeing Xiao Bai’s sulking expression, Ye Anxin smiled, walked over, placed the fruits on the coffee table, picked up a toothpick, speared a piece of dragon fruit, and held it to Xiao Bai’s mouth, smiling, "Xiao Bai, come, eat some fruit. This is specially prepared by grandma for your visit today!"

Still staring at Mu Beiting and little Chu Yi, Xiao Bai opened his mouth without turning his head and ate the fruit Ye Anxin offered.

After placing the fruit on the coffee table, Ye Mu moved behind the sofa to gaze at little Chu Yi!

Watching her own mother longingly looking at little Chu Yi, Ye Anxin gently nudged Mu Beiting and laughed, "Uncle, since we’re finally back home, why not let my mom hold Chu Yi?"

Hearing Ye Anxin’s suggestion, Mu Beiting seemed to only then notice Ye Mu standing behind the sofa, fixedly watching little Chu Yi!

Ye Mu quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, I can just look! I’m afraid of dirtying little Chu Yi with my messy hands!"

"Mom, you never got a chance to hold Xiao Bai when he was little; I know you’ve always regretted that! Now that we’re here, hold her if you want!" She gave Mu Beiting a knowing look.

Mu Beiting pursed his lips; though there was reluctance in his eyes, he ultimately stood up and handed little Chu Yi to Ye Mu.

Looking at little Chu Yi’s sweet smile, Ye Mu hesitated for a moment, but eventually, her desire won over, and she reached out with trembling hands, taking little Chu Yi from Mu Beiting.

Unfortunately, Ye Mu didn’t have much time to relish the moment before little Chu Yi began crying loudly as soon as she was held!

This sudden cry startled Ye Mu so much that her hands shook, almost causing the child to slip from her hold!
