Chapter 784 - 827: Like a Shadow
After some deep thought, Mu Beiting finally nodded in reluctant agreement!As expected, Mu Beiting agreed, and Yan Qinghan didn’t forget to remind him, "Just so we’re clear! You can be stingy and selfish with me, but once my friend arrives, you have to treat them to a meal! After all, you’re the one asking for a favor!"
This time, Mu Beiting agreed promptly, "Alright!"
With business settled, Yan Qinghan couldn’t help but lean his head towards Mu Beiting and asked with a playful smile, "Since you’re eager to give your little sister-in-law a wedding, why not just buy a pair of rings at a jewelry store? Why go through the hassle of having them custom-designed? You know, custom design takes a long time! Designing needs inspiration, right? Finding inspiration takes time! Once the design is done, it has to meet your satisfaction, right? If you’re not satisfied, you’ll have to revise it, and that takes time too! Once you’re satisfied with the design, it still needs to be made! All these back-and-forth steps take at least three months! You’re in such a rush, can you wait that long?"
Hearing this timeline, Mu Beiting couldn’t help but furrow his brows, "Three months?"
Yan Qinghan raised an eyebrow, feigning seriousness, "Of course! You have no idea, my wedding rings took more than three months! Three months is a conservative estimate! Think about it carefully, can you wait three months?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting once again fell into deep contemplation! His hand placed on the armrest gradually clenched into a fist, and his expression became particularly serious.
After a period of careful consideration, Mu Beiting finally said, "Three months it is then! I’m not concerned about such a brief period! A wedding is a lifelong affair, it shouldn’t be rushed or careless!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qinghan looked at Mu Beiting in surprise, "Wow, to hear you say something like that is really something! Let’s see what kind of grand wedding you give your little sister-in-law then!"
Faced with Yan Qinghan’s teasing, Mu Beiting didn’t respond and simply sat there quietly, looking at him!
Looking at Mu Beiting’s cold, uninteresting face, Yan Qinghan raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, then stood up, dusted off his pants, and prepared to leave.
After taking just a couple of steps, Mu Beiting’s voice came from behind him, "Where are you going?"
Without turning back, Yan Qinghan replied sarcastically, "I’m leaving! I’ve been sitting here for three hours watching you work; I need to make up for those blank three hours!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting said nothing further!
Yan Qinghan opened the door, only to find Pete standing outside, hand raised, as if about to knock!
"Alright, no need to knock, you go in!" Yan Qinghan stepped aside, giving Pete room to enter.
Pete, holding a folder, looked at Yan Qinghan and asked with a smile, "President Yan, leaving already? Not staying a bit longer?"
"Stay for what? To watch you two discuss business? Or shall I wait for your president to treat me to takeout again? If it’s just takeout, I’d rather go back to my own office to eat!" Saying this, he pouted disdainfully and strode away!
Watching Yan Qinghan’s departing figure, Pete shook his head with a smile, carrying the folder into Mu Beiting’s office and closing the door.

After a busy week, Sunday finally arrived!
That day, just like usual, Ye Anxin waited for Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai to come back from their morning run, took a shower, ate breakfast together, and then the family of four hopped into the car heading towards Ye Anxin’s mother’s community!
Upon arrival, Mu Beiting gave the driver some free time, instructing him to return around noon after lunch to take them back home!
As they got out of the car, little Chu Yi’s big round eyes were curiously looking everywhere!
"Let me hold him! You take Xiao Bai’s hand!" Mu Beiting extended his hand, taking little Chu Yi from Ye Anxin’s arms!
Seeing Mu Beiting’s face, little Chu Yi immediately beamed with joy. With spring here and wearing less clothing, he waved his arms and legs, his little mouth moving as if he was talking to Mu Beiting.
Mu Beiting lowered his head, gently tapping little Chu Yi’s chin with his slender fingers, softly saying, "Have you been bored staying inside the house for so long?"
Almost as if he understood, little Chu Yi responded enthusiastically!
Mu Beiting placated him, "Now that the weather’s nice, I’ll take you out to play whenever I have time, how about that?"
Hearing Mu Beiting’s words, little Chu Yi immediately squinted his eyes and smiled! The way he smiled was exactly like Ye Anxin!
Watching the joyful conversation between father and daughter, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but say, "Uncle, you have no idea how wild Chu Yi can be. As long as his eyes are open, he wants to go out and play in the garden. Staying at home, he’ll make a fuss! Unless Uncle and Xiao Bai are home, only then does he stop clamoring to go out when he sees you both!"
Mu Beiting gently tapped little Chu Yi’s forehead, eyes smiling, hugging him as they walked towards the community, saying, "Little thing, is what your mom said true?"
His response was always little Chu Yi’s sweet, charming smile.
Holding the sweet little bundle in his arms, Mu Beiting felt his once cold heart filled with warmth!
At this moment, his eyes and heart were completely occupied with this little one!
Mu Beiting embraced little Chu Yi while Ye Anxin held onto Xiao Bai; the four of them passed through the community garden and headed to the building where Ye Anxin’s mother lived, taking the elevator directly upstairs.
Unbeknownst to them, as they stepped into the elevator, a slender figure emerged from the corner of the unit they entered!
The woman was wearing a long trench coat, a sun hat on her head, with her lower face covered in a white silk scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes as clear as moonlight!
Upon a closer look, those eyes had a strangely familiar vibe!
However, upon seeing the happy scene of Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin’s family of four, the clarity in those eyes was stained with a deep, intense hatred and determination!
It seemed that Mu Beiting’s family of four was completely unaware of the eyes watching them; they rode the elevator up to Ye Anxin’s mother’s floor!
It was as if Ye Anxin’s mother had been waiting by the door; the moment Ye Anxin’s hand knocked on the door, it was quickly opened from the inside!
Seeing the four standing outside, she exclaimed excitedly, "You’re finally here! Come in, come in!" Saying this, she stepped back, making a welcoming gesture towards them.
Ye Shan, who had been hiding around the corner outside the door, heard the door open and was about to come over! But upon seeing Mu Beiting standing shoulder to shoulder with Ye Anxin, he immediately shrank back into the corner to hide!
