Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 861 - 904: Going Crazy

Ruan Zhitong even began to wonder if Mu Beiting had already discovered her identity, which is why he was neglecting her!But then again, she thought, it couldn’t be possible!

Her plan was flawless, without any loopholes! How could Mu Beiting possibly find out! Moreover, given Mu Beiting’s personality, if he had really discovered that she was an imposter, he would have taken action immediately, and she certainly wouldn’t be living so comfortably now!

And yet, to say he was cold to her wasn’t quite right! Except that they didn’t sleep in the same bed every night, he was otherwise gentle and considerate! Every time he coaxed her to sleep, he would kiss her on the forehead!

This kind of uncertainty, this play of push and pull, left Ruan Zhitong perplexed, not knowing what to do!

The things and clothes belonging to Ye Anxin in the house were gradually being replaced by her under various excuses! Ye Anxin’s presence in this home was becoming more and more faint as she slowly replaced it.

After being troubled for more than a week, one morning, after having breakfast, Pete came down from upstairs carrying a suitcase.

Seeing him coming down with a suitcase, Ruan Zhitong’s eyes lit up, thinking that they were finally done with business and about to leave; she was delighted in her heart, but showed nothing on her face. Instead, she pretended to be unaware and walked over, asking with concern, "Brother Pete, where are you going? Are you leaving?"

Pete chuckled, teasingly saying, "Yes! I’ve been living here for over a week; if I don’t leave now, everyone here is going to start disliking me!"

Hearing Pete’s words, Ruan Zhitong’s heart bloomed with joy, yet her face remained calm, "How could that be! With you sharing the burden with Uncle, how could we possibly dislike you!"

Pete grinned, teasingly saying, "Thanks for not disliking me, ma’am, but I’ve been away from home for more than a week, and I miss my wife and kids. It’s time for me to go back and see them! I’m about to be sent away for work by the CEO, so I can’t spend too much time with them. I should spend some time while I can!"

Initially happy about Pete’s words, Ruan Zhitong’s expression froze upon hearing the latter half, and asked in shock, "On a business trip? Where to? Why is there suddenly a business trip? Uncle hadn’t mentioned it before?"

Pete truthfully replied, "It was a last-minute decision! There’s an issue with the branch in Jiangcheng, and the CEO must go immediately to handle it! If it’s not resolved in time, it could cause huge losses to the company!"

"How long will you be gone?" This was Ruan Zhitong’s most pressing concern.

Originally, Pete stayed at the house for more than a week, and she was hoping every day for Pete to leave! Now that Pete was finally leaving with his suitcase, he told her they were going on a business trip!

This meant that she was soon to be separated from Mu Beiting! They had been apart for over ten years; she cherished every moment with him and was unwilling to be apart from him again.

Pete shook his head, "I don’t know! The issue over there is tricky, nobody knows how long it will take to resolve! But rest assured, ma’am, with the CEO’s capabilities, he’ll definitely handle it in the shortest possible time!"

Just then, Mu Beiting came down from upstairs! Seeing Ruan Zhitong chatting with Pete at the stairway, he walked over leisurely, putting his arm around her shoulder, and asked warmly, "What are you two talking about?"

Ruan Zhitong asked, forcibly calming herself, "Hubby, Brother Pete says you guys are going to Jiangcheng on a business trip! Is it true?"

Mu Beiting glanced at Pete, who shrugged helplessly, touched his nose in slight amusement, and carried his suitcase away.

Seeing Mu Beiting not replying, Ruan Zhitong tugged his arm insistently, "Hubby, is what Brother Pete said true? Are you really going to Jiangcheng?"

"Mhm." Mu Beiting nodded, taking her hand and leading her to sit by the sofa, gently saying, "There’s a problem with the branch in Jiangcheng, and I need to go there immediately to resolve it! Don’t worry, I’ll handle it as fast as I can and come back!"

Seeing the situation was settled and couldn’t be changed, Ruan Zhitong could only seek a compromise, "I want to go with you! Take me with you!"

Without even thinking, Mu Beiting decisively refused, "No! Your health hasn’t fully recovered, you must stay at home and rest well! Besides, I’ll be very busy with work on this trip, and if you go along, I’ll get distracted!"

Seeing that Mu Beiting wouldn’t agree, Ruan Zhitong snuggled closer to him, holding onto his arm, sulkingly saying, "Hubby! I don’t want to be separated from you; I want to be with you every day. Please agree to take me with you! I promise I’ll behave and won’t interrupt your work!"

"Wifey, be good, okay! With one incident after another happening to you, I can’t let anything else happen to you! I’ll feel at ease only if you’re watched over by others at home! After going to Jiangcheng, I’ll be very busy, and I won’t have time to take care of you! Without someone by your side, I’d worry!" As he spoke, he gently touched Ruan Zhitong with his large hand, softly coaxing, "Be good, listen, I’ll be back as soon as I can! Besides, I hope you stay here to take care of Xiao Bai!"

Even with Mu Beiting saying this, Ruan Zhitong remained reluctant, pouting her red lips, making one last effort, "But...but...I really want to go with you! I haven’t been to Jiangcheng for a long time, and I also want to go have fun!"

Mu Beiting patiently coaxed, "Be good! Once the company’s matters are sorted, I’ll find a time specially to take you to Jiangcheng for a good time, alright?"

Ruan Zhitong asked noncommittally, "Really?"

Mu Beiting smiled and asked in return, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Alright then! If that’s the case, I can only agree with you!" she said, lowering her head in sullen silence.

Seeing the expression on Ruan Zhitong’s face, Mu Beiting’s lips thinned, a light flickering in his deep eyes, then he spoke again, "Chu Yi hasn’t wanted you lately; every time you hold her, she cries heavily. So I’ll have the nanny take her to Jiangcheng with me this time! If she cries, I can hold her to calm her down!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhitong frowned dissatisfied, "You won’t take me, but you can take Chu Yi?"

Mu Beiting replied helplessly, "The situation is special! Xiao Bai has school during the day, and if she starts crying, no one at home can calm her down! She doesn’t want you, so I can only take her along! Usually, the nanny will be with her, and if she cries, I can hold and soothe her! Luckily, she’s obedient; whenever I hold her, she doesn’t cry or fuss, so it won’t interfere with work! But you’re different; I can’t possibly keep an adult by my side all the time!"
