Chapter 365: Putting up a Front
When she said those words, Li Beinian did not dare to look at him.
The two of them were very close to each other.
She could even sense that his heartbeat was not as calm as it seemed.
Li Beinian was upset.
Seriously, he was obviously not calm, but he maintained a cold expression. How annoying!
Unexpectedly, Mu Xichen did not say a word.
The scene was surprisingly quiet.
Li Beinian’s nervous heart started pounding furiously.
She quietly raised her head to look at him and saw that he was looking at her.
His pair of deep eyes seemed to stare deeply at her.
It was as if a black hole appeared in the night sky and was eager to swallow her up.
He seemed quite cold. Although he was hugging her, she did not feel the same way she felt last night.
Last night, he was warm and pa.s.sionate.
However, now, he was obviously colder.
There was something wrong.
Li Beinian summoned her courage and wrapped her arms around his neck. Before she could say anything, Mu Xichen lifted her up.
Immediately afterward, he placed his hands on her thighs to support her.
Li Beinian was taken aback. She hugged his neck tighter and her heart beat even more rapidly.
She didn’t expect this man to like wild things.
Mu Xichen carried her to the bathroom while she was deep in thought.
He turned on the shower tap.
The sudden icy water made Li Beinian s.h.i.+ver. “It’s really cold.”
Mu Xichen acted as if he did not hear her. He pressed her against the gla.s.s part.i.tion in the shower.
The water was starting to become warmer.
Li Beinian felt as if her heart was jumping out of her chest as she waited for his next move.
However, there was nothing.
Mu Xichen looked at her intensively without saying anything.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Beinian couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong with him. In the past, he would be all over her.
Today, she took the initiative, yet there was no response from him.
Was he putting up a front?
Li Beinian could guess why he was like that. She leaned in and tried to kiss him like how he kissed her.
She slowly stretched out her tongue probingly, but before she knew it, he repressed her domineeringly.
He kissed her fiercely and wildly.
The kiss engulfed her crazily. Her lips started to hurt from the roughness.
Li Beinian’s waist was held tightly. His strength almost broke her back as he suppressed her whole body and kissed her roughly.
Li Beinian started to reject him and seemed afraid.
After struggling for a while, Mu Xichen finally let her go.
His slightly rough hands touched her face. Mu Xichen’s breath was unstable as he said in a low voice, “You said that you like me. How much do you like me?”
His face was seemingly calm, but his eyes were dark and turbulent, making her heart palpitate.
There was something wrong with him today.
However, wasn’t he okay in the morning?
Li Beinian was a little frightened. She couldn’t help but let go of him and asked softly, “What’s wrong with you?”
Mu Xichen seemed to calm down by her soft voice. He messaged her face and said again in a low voice, “You said you like me, so are you willing to marry me?”
Marry… him?
