Chapter 613: Secret Date 2
Li Beinian thought for a moment. Confronted by the curious gazes around her, she finally said, “I think so.”
“Ah…” w.a.n.g Shao looked a little disappointed.” Leader Mu is so handsome. He’s tall and strong and has a nice voice…”
“Stop being a love-struck idiot.” Zhao You’er nudged w.a.n.g Shao. “A man like Leader Mu definitely has high standards. Also, did you hear Instructor Yang say that he’s very fierce?”
“Yes, yes,” Guan Yueyun agreed. “That’s true. Besides, it’s so cruel of him to make us run the moment he arrived.”
Liu Wei had a different opinion. “On the contrary, I think he likes Beinian.”
With that, the few girls fell silent. Their eyes fell on Li Beinian.
Not only the girls, even the men in front and behind looked in her direction.
Jiang Chun tried to smooth things over. “Beinian is pretty. All men like pretty girls.”
“Yes, I do too,” Feng Yiran said shyly.
As soon as he said this, the men started cheering. “Beinian used to be engaged to Mu Donglin!”
“Who is Mu Donglin? He’s the young heir of the Mu Corporation!”
Zhao You’er nodded and added, “I heard that the Mu Family’s young heir is getting engaged again.”
“Shh.” Guan Yueyun nudged Zhao You’er and chided. “Beinian is still here.”
Li Beinian pretended not to hear him as she smiled and concentrated on queuing.
However, this was only on the surface.
Her mind was filled with Mu Xichen.
The guy was still waiting for her in Yang Dawu’s office. Wouldn’t he be anxious if she didn’t turn up?
Furthermore, the way he was dressed made it seem he had to go to work. What if she didn’t go over and he kept waiting for her? What if that delayed his work?
Her mind was in a mess.
Soon, it was her turn to be served the dishes. The cook looked at her and complimented, “You’re so pretty, young lady. Your hair looks so beautiful when you let it out.”smg
Li Beinian smiled and thanked her. Then, she found an empty seat and sat down.
She appeared a little upset as she took a sip of the soup absentmindedly.
When Guan Yueyun saw this, she turned to look at Zhao You’er and said, “Look at you and your big mouth. Beinian and Mu Donglin broke up because of that man’s adulterous affair. Don’t tell me you don’t know.”
Of course, Zhao You’er knew, and felt rather indignant. “It was only an accident that I let it slip. I won’t say it in front of her again.”
The girl did not suppress her voice, and the men behind heard it.
Feng Yiran looked at Li Beinian’s pet.i.te figure and felt his heart ache. He said, “That man is such a jerk. It’s good that they broke up.”
His words attracted a fair amount of attention.
Feeling a little embarra.s.sed, Feng Yiran quickly added, “I didn’t say anything wrong.”
w.a.n.g Shao got himself some food and sat beside Li Beinian. He whispered, “Beinian, may I ask you a question?”
Looking rather distracted, Li Beinian replied, “Go ahead.”
“Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen. They share the same surname Mu. They’re poles apart but about the same age. I thought about it carefully and realized that they look a little similar. Could it be…”
Liu Wei came up from behind carrying her food and sat opposite Li Beinian. She heard the exchange.
Li Beinian did not hide it and gave the straight answer, “Yes, they’re half-brothers.”
w.a.n.g Shao nodded with a look of “Ah-ha” on her face. “No wonder you know Leader Mu. So Leader Mu is targeting you because you almost became his sister-in-law?”
