Chapter 24: It’s Okay, Don’t Be Afraid

Obviously angry, Mu Beiting raised his eyebrows and his tone became colder, “Therefore, you can only think about me.”

“Pfft..” When Ye Anxin heard this, she suddenly realized that this guy was the super-jealous type. This was ridiculous! He was way too jealous. He was even jealous of her mother.

When they had been at the karaoke place earlier, he had acted cold and treated her as if she were a stranger. Why was he acting like a completely different person now?

“Do not laugh.” A suspicious blush had appeared on Mu Beiting’s handsome face, and although his voice was as cold as ever, he was obviously more ill at ease than he had been moments before.

Ye Anxin suppressed her laughter with great effort and pursed her lips, but she had to do something to achieve a compromise. “Okay! But then I will have to trouble big brother Pete.”

Ye Anxin thought that Mu Beiting would be satisfied after she said that. However, unexpectedly, Mu Beiting’s expression became even more ugly.

Ye Anxin looked at him in bewilderment. She couldn’t understand what was wrong with this guy. He was angered so easily and so out of the blue, yet he wouldn’t tell her the reason behind his anger and made her randomly guess what was bothering him. She didn’t understand why he had so much anger.

Just as Ye Anxin was feeling overwhelmed by all these questions, someone suddenly rushed out and blocked the car’s way with his arms open wide.

Pete was startled and slammed on the brakes.

Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin were thrown forward in the back seat.

Mu Beiting reacted quickly. After stabilizing his body, he quickly pulled Ye Anxin into his arms just as her head was about to hit the seat in front of them.

The whole thing happened so quickly that Ye Anxin felt as if she was in a daze. She could hear her own heart beating wildly.

Feeling that Ye Anxin was rather stiff, probably from the shock of the sudden stop, Mu Beiting frowned, and his arms tightened around her. He uncharacteristically comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

“I’m okay.” For some reason, her heart calmed down as soon as she heard Mu Beiting’s comforting words.

His words acted like a tranquilizer to her. His tone of voice was as emotionless and cold as always, but she felt that his words were truly full of concern for her.

Pete glanced at the person blocking their way, frowned slightly, and said to Mu Beiting, “President, it’s Su Quan.”

Mu Beiting’s thin lips were tightly closed in a thin line. Without even glancing outside the car, he uttered, “Go!”

Ye Anxin craned her neck to look outside the car. Seeing that Su Quan was still in front of them, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “Mister, if we just drive ahead, won’t the person who blocked your car get injured?”

Mu Beiting lowered his eyes to look at Ye Anxin. At that moment, Ye Anxin had also coincidentally raised her head to look at him. As they made eye contact, Mu Beiting’s deep eyes unexpectedly met Ye Anxin’s eyes, which appeared more dazzling than the stars on a dark night. His breathing stopped for a moment.

Her eyes were very clear, while her pupils were dark, large, and bright. Her eyes seemed like lamps that could illuminate the darkest night. Upon seeing them, one couldn’t look away.

Feeling confused about why he was staring at her like he was, Ye Anxin touched her face and asked quizzically, “Mister, is something the matter? Is there something on my face?”

Mu Beiting retracted his gaze, coughed awkwardly, and said to Pete, “Make a detour around the idiot.”

“Yes, sir!” Pete nodded and turned the steering wheel, preparing to make a detour around Su Quan, who was standing in front of them. However, Su Quan had reached Mu Beiting’s window and reached out and grabbed the door handle and opened the door. Before Mu Beiting could speak, he said anxiously, “Mr. Mu, please have mercy on the Su family. Don’t withdraw the funds you’ve invested in the Su family. I admit that we were in the wrong regarding this matter, but please don’t be so ruthless toward us. Please give me two days. I will definitely find Yuexin and send her to you.”
