Chapter 763 - 806: Easing the Relationship
Mu Beiting adhered to the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, and continued to eat elegantly without paying attention to Yan Qinghan.On the contrary, Pete smiled slightly and explained, "President Yan, don’t worry, although this is a takeout, it’s from the best restaurant near our company, absolutely clean, hygienic, and nutritious! Before our president married his wife, he used to eat this every meal!"
"You...!" Yan Qinghan originally wanted to find an excuse to get Mu Beiting to take him out for a meal, but after Pete said that, he was speechless, even losing his excuse. How could he confidently drag Mu Beiting out to eat now!
Actually, in the end, eating is a small matter, but this internal struggle is the big deal!
He thought he had beaten Mu Beiting once, but in the end, it still turned out...
Alas... too much talk only brings tears...!
At this point, Yan Qinghan just wanted to find a place to sit down and have a good cry.
If he had known that Mu Beiting was going to treat him to a boxed lunch, he wouldn’t have wasted so much time waiting here!
Seeing Yan Qinghan’s angry expression, Pete picked up a boxed lunch from the coffee table and handed it to Yan Qinghan, smiling and comforting him, "President Yan, don’t be angry, hurry up and eat, the food tastes great, don’t starve yourself!"
Yan Qinghan pursed his lips, glanced at Pete, and then at the calm and composed Mu Beiting, finally focusing on the boxed lunch Pete handed over!
Originally, he wanted to swagger and walk away, but as soon as he thought of this, his stomach grumbled embarrassingly.
After a struggle, he still accepted the boxed lunch Pete handed over, plopped down next to Mu Beiting, and started shoveling food into his mouth, turning his sadness and indignation into appetite, eating heartily.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yan Qinghan finally wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth contentedly, lay across the sofa, satisfied, belched, and began to hum a tune.
Looking at the mess of leftovers on the coffee table, Mu Beiting’s face sank, "You’ve eaten, now you can get lost!"
"I don’t want to! After eating, of course, I’ll take a nap! You do what you need to do, you don’t need to worry about me! I’ll leave when I wake up!" With that, he closed his eyes and began to sleep, treating Mu Beiting as if he were invisible, ignoring him no matter how sharp or cold Mu Beiting was, pretending to be completely oblivious.
"President?" Looking at Yan Qinghan sprawled out on the sofa, Pete hesitated to look at Mu Beiting, unsure what to do.
"Let him be!" Mu Beiting coldly spat out two words, then ignored Yan Qinghan, returning to his desk to start working.
Seeing that his boss wasn’t minding Yan Qinghan, Pete didn’t either, cleaned up the coffee table, took out the trash, and went about his own business.
Two hours later, Yan Qinghan finally woke up, blinked sleepily around the office, lazily yawned, got up from the sofa, walked over to Mu Beiting, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah, that was a nice sleep, didn’t expect your sofa to be so soft! Someday I’ll ask my assistant to get me a sofa exactly like yours! From now on, I’ll take my afternoon naps on the sofa!"
Mu Beiting didn’t look up at him but raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and said without lifting his head, "It’s two-thirty now, if you don’t deliver the CDs before six, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
Yan Qinghan grinned, nonchalantly, "Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait till six, I guarantee you’ll receive them within two hours!"
Faced with Yan Qinghan’s confident assurance, Mu Beiting merely gave a faint, insincere smile.
Yan Qinghan stretched his arms, yawned, and lazily said, "Well-fed and well-rested, I’m off! Expect my CDs!" Then he waved to Mu Beiting, waltzed out with swagger.
Until Yan Qinghan left, Mu Beiting didn’t lift his head from the documents.

Winter passed and spring came, and in the blink of an eye, it was spring, the earth awakening, and all things rejuvenating!
On a weekend, Ye Anxin got up much earlier than when she was pregnant because she had to take care of the child! When she got up, Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai were just going out for a run!
Ye Anxin stayed at home to take care of the child with the nanny, waiting for Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai to return!
After playing with Xiao Chu Yi for a while, he fell asleep and was taken to his room to sleep by the nanny! At this time, Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai also returned.
Mu Beiting and Xiao Bai went upstairs to take a shower, and the three of them sat together to have breakfast.
While sipping her congee, Ye Anxin looked up sneakily at Mu Beiting, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to start.
Although Mu Beiting focused on eating, he could still occasionally feel Ye Anxin’s gaze on him. He looked up and saw Ye Anxin looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated, then slightly parted his thin lips and said lightly, "If you have something to say, just say it. We’re family, no need to be hesitant!"
Since Mu Beiting had taken the initiative to speak, Ye Anxin no longer hesitated, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to say, "Uncle, it’s been more than a month, I think, shouldn’t we go to jail to see Mo Xuehong!"
Although she couldn’t forgive Mo Xuehong for her past actions, in the end, Mo Xuehong is still Uncle’s biological mother, and blood is thicker than water. No matter what Mo Xuehong did, Uncle still shares the same blood with her, and this is an unchangeable fact!
Although Uncle never said anything, leaving one’s biological mother in jail is something that would hurt anyone with a conscience!
Uncle may appear indifferent on the outside, but she knows that deep down, Uncle lacks love more than anyone else! From his forgiveness of the old man, it’s clear that he always longs to have a complete family like others!
So, if allowing Uncle to fill the void of paternal and maternal love would help, she’s willing to forgive Mo Xuehong and give her another chance!
Uncle has always been proud, and asking him to lower himself is absolutely impossible! Therefore, the only way is for her to initiate, slowly easing the tension between them!
After hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu Beiting’s expression didn’t change, and he said lightly, "No need!"
Ye Anxin licked her lips and softly persuaded, "Uncle, she is your biological mother after all, and also Xiao Bai’s grandmother! Although she did many wrong things in the past, she was manipulated by Qin Muyao because she loved her daughter too much! Everything she did was orchestrated by Qin Muyao! If we see her today, and if she’s willing to repent, can we forgive her?"
