Chapter 325: He’s My Fiancé. If There Are No Accidents, We Will Get Married.
Just like that, time flew past and the day ended.
Li Beinian spent the entire afternoon listening to the Li Family elders criticize her, so she was bored to death.
Finally, she was able to leave after Old Master Li said that he was tired.
After dinner, Li Beinian took a shower, went upstairs, and slowly dried her hair.
Her mind was in a mess because of what happened today.
Ding-Dong.
It was a WeChat notification.
She reached for her phone. It was Mu Xichen.
Short-Lived Mu Xichen: [Come Over.]
When Li Beinian saw those two words, she instinctively walked to the window in front of her desk.
When she saw that the old and delicate window was tightly shut, she was slightly disappointed.
She replied: [Where are you?]
Short-Lived Mu Xichen: [Next door.]
As if to prove he was there, she heard the sound of windows and doors opening next door.
In the dim light, Li Beinian clearly saw Mu Xichen’s swollen face.
Startled, she asked. “What’s wrong with your face?”
Mu Xichen was in a foul mood. He was calm, but he remained in the shadows.
After hearing Li Beinian’s voice, he said softly, “I was beaten.”
Beaten?
By who?
Li Beinian was stunned. Mu Xichen said, “It hurts. My hands hurt too.”
A hint of grievance could be heard in his faint voice.
He stretched out his right hand to reveal a large bruise on his wrist.
Li Beinian took a deep breath and immediately took off the towel wrapped around her head. “Come down and open the door for me.”
Putting on her shoes, Li Beinian seemed to forget that she was wearing pajamas and went downstairs.
Old Master Li saw her and asked, “Nian Nian, where are you going?”
“I’m going for a walk!”
…
When she walked to Mu Xichen’s door, the closed mahogany door opened before she could knock on it.
Mu Xichen’s swollen face was more obvious to Li Beinian now.
“You…” What on earth happened?
Before she could say anything, a large hand pulled her into the house.
Mu Xichen closed the door and pinned her against the wall.
Li Beinian’s heartbeat jumped about wildly. His sudden actions made her nervous.
Shrinking her body, Li Beinian swallowed and whispered, “Your face…”
“Li Beinian,” Mu Xichen interrupted her and said her name in a solemn whisper.
Mu Xichen was rarely this serious. Li Beinian was startled and looked at him calmly.
Mu Xichen’s eyes were engulfing her like a tsunami. They were like a black hole that wished to suck her in!
Li Beinian’s heart beat faster. She struggled a little, but Mu Xichen pressed her down firmly and she could not move at all.
“What do you think of Mu Donglin?” Staring at her, Mu Xichen’s voice was low and hoa.r.s.e as he spoke a little slowly. “Do you have feelings for him?”
Somehow, Li Beinian inexplicably felt that he was quite nervous.
Indeed, his breathing was heavier than usual.
It was heavier and faster.
Li Beinian blinked. Suddenly, she smiled. “What answer do you want to hear?”
Mu Xichen tightened his grip on her wrist and continued to look at her quietly.
“He’s my fiancé. If there are no accidents, we will get married.”
Mu Xichen was initially in a bad mood. And now, his face darkened further.
However, Li Beinian couldn’t help but smile widely. “However, feelings can’t be determined by a marriage contract.”
