Inside the villa, ever since returning from dinner, Ye Anxin has been sitting anxiously in the living room waiting for Mu Beiting to come back.
But, she waited and waited until eleven o'clock before she heard the sound of the door opening.
Ye Anxin quickly stood up from the sofa and went to greet him, "Uncle, you're back!" Saying this, she reached out to take Mu Beiting's briefcase.
Mu Beiting didn't even glance at her; he directly avoided her touch, changed into his slippers, and walked past her toward the stairs.
Ye Anxin hurriedly followed, cautiously asking, "Uncle, are you angry with me?"
Mu Beiting's thin lips were pressed into a tight line; he didn't answer.
Ye Anxin followed behind, apologizing continuously, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I was wrong! But things aren't like you think they are! There's a misunderstanding here!"
Mu Beiting ignored her and walked silently toward the study.
