Pete decisively refused, "We’re doing well now, we don’t need a vacation! If we actually took a vacation, I wouldn’t know how to spend the day!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Mu Beiting’s face darkened, and he said unhappily, "If you don’t know how to spend the day, just take your wife and kids on a trip!"
"Take my wife on a trip?" Pete was slightly taken aback!
He had never thought of taking his wife and kids out to play! Wouldn’t that be a waste of time and light?
Seeing Pete look so reluctant, Mu Beiting sternly said, "That’s an order!"
"Cough cough...! Okay! Got it! Once I get my current tasks sorted out, I’ll take a vacation!" Seeing that Mu Beiting seemed serious and showing an unquestionable demeanor, Pete could only rub his nose and nod in agreement.
Mu Beiting nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm! Go on out!"
"Oh!" Pete responded lightly and gave Mu Beiting a strange look before taking the folder and leaving!
What was up with his BOSS? Was his BOSS so happy and content that he also wanted him to have a good life with his wife?
Although Pete was filled with questions, he dared not ask, so he left sullenly.
After Pete left, Mu Beiting called Ye Anxin again.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and Ye Anxin’s sweet voice came from the other end, "Uncle, why are you calling me at this time?"
Frowning, Mu Beiting asked unhappily, "Why did it take so long to answer?"
Ye Anxin explained, "It’s because of little Chu Yi; she’s been clinging to me and not letting the nanny hold her! I just handed her over!"
Upon hearing that, Mu Beiting’s frown relaxed, and he spoke gently, "There’s a dinner tonight, so I won’t be home for dinner! I’ll have the driver drop off Xiao Bai, so don’t wait for me, just rest early tonight!"
Ye Anxin laughed and said, "Okay, take care of yourself too, and don’t work too late!"
"Yeah, I will!" With that, Mu Beiting surprisingly ended the call first for the first time.
Holding the phone, Ye Anxin was momentarily astonished by the busy signal coming from the device.
Every time she had a call with Uncle before, he was always reluctant to hang up, and it was always her who ended it!
What happened this time? He ended it so decisively, without even a word of greeting or concern?
Just as Ye Anxin was puzzling over it, her phone rang again.
She thought it was Mu Beiting calling back and couldn’t help but smile, but her smile disappeared when she saw the caller ID. Though a bit disappointed, she still answered, "Yueyue, why are you calling me?"
Ling Yueyue’s tone was unfriendly, "It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, I missed you! Can’t I call you? Unlike you, heartless thing, so long without calling me, making me call you!"
Ye Anxin chuckled awkwardly and said apologetically, "You know, I’ve been very busy lately, lots of things going on, no time at all to call you!"
Ling Yueyue shrugged it off, "Okay, okay, I know you’ve been busy, lots going on! So, isn’t that why I’m calling you myself?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Ye Anxin squinted, smiling cheerfully, "Thanks for understanding. I knew Yueyue was the best!"
Ling Yueyue replied with swagger, "Alright, enough with the sweet talk! I’ll get straight to the point! I’ve been missing your little Chu Yi, let’s have dinner tonight and you bring little Chu Yi so I can look at my goddaughter as a remedy for missing her!"
Ye Anxin frowned slightly, "Now?"
Ling Yueyue responded as if it were only natural, "Of course! It’s only four o’clock now, and we’ll be at the restaurant before six! We can have dinner and then return, around eight, not too late!"
Ye Anxin thought about it carefully and finally couldn’t refuse, "I can’t! Chu Yi has to bathe and go to bed by eight; it’s her routine. If we suddenly change that, it will disrupt her habits! How about tomorrow at noon? Uncle will be at the office, and Xiao Bai at school, so I’ll be home alone."
Ling Yueyue pretended to be angry, "But what if I want to see little Chu Yi now?"
"Yueyue...!" sensing Ling Yueyue’s anger on the other end, Ye Anxin could only respond helplessly!
Seeing Ye Anxin taking her seriously, Ling Yueyue quickly laughed and said, "I’m just kidding! Raising kids isn’t easy, especially little kids. Once bad habits form, they’re hard to fix! I get it! If tonight doesn’t work, then tomorrow at noon! We haven’t gone shopping in ages, so let’s do that too, and I’ll buy some stuff for Chu Yi and Xiao Bai! It’s my duty as a godmother!"
This time, Ye Anxin readily agreed, "Sure! I’ll call you tomorrow after I send Uncle and Xiao Bai off!"
"Alright, I’m hanging up now!" After saying goodbye to Ye Anxin, she ended the call.
Ye Anxin held her phone and flipped through her chat records, her gaze lingering on Mu Beiting’s name! With her forefinger making a motion on it as if wanting to call Mu Beiting, she thought about it yet ultimately didn’t, putting the phone back on the nightstand before going to find little Chu Yi.
That evening, after putting little Chu Yi to sleep, Ye Anxin took a shower but couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning in bed!
She wanted to wait for Uncle to come back to sleep together! But, she waited and waited, and Mu Beiting was nowhere in sight! Until midnight around twelve, Mu Beiting still hadn’t returned, not even a call!
In the past, whenever he returned even a bit late, Uncle would call her so she wouldn’t worry!
Yet today, since that call in the afternoon, Uncle hadn’t contacted her at all!
Every few minutes, she couldn’t resist picking up the phone from the nightstand to check if there were any missed calls from Uncle!
Every time she picked up the phone, she couldn’t help but reassure herself that maybe the phone’s ringtone was faulty, so she didn’t hear Uncle’s call!
However, each time she checked, she ended up disappointed!
For eight whole hours, this was the first time Uncle hadn’t contacted her for such a long period! What was going on?
Remembering how decisively Uncle hung up in the afternoon and now with no call, Ye Anxin began to worry!
After a period of internal struggle, she still picked up the phone from the nightstand and called Mu Beiting.
But Mu Beiting’s phone was turned off!
Ye Anxin called several times in a row, each time getting the same result.
Since marrying Uncle, this was the first time she couldn’t get through to him!
What was happening? Could something have happened?
