Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "With me by your side, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Anxin gave him a sideways glance, "Even if I've got an uncle with me! But, when something just suddenly happens without any warning, anyone would be scared!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting frowned slightly, "Did it really scare you?"
Ye Anxin nodded and said with lingering fear, "Of course! I was completely engrossed just now, and then suddenly my body was airborne! I thought something was happening!"
"...!" Mu Beiting said nothing, gazing deeply at Ye Anxin.
Seeing Mu Beiting's guilty expression, Ye Anxin felt a pang of softness in her heart, got closer to him, touched his nose lightly with hers, and said with a smile, "Oh, I was just joking! Although I was a bit scared earlier, it's not that bad! With Uncle by my side, why would I be afraid? I know Uncle will protect me!"
Upon hearing this, the taut lines of Mu Beiting's face finally relaxed.
