Chapter 880: Li Beinian: I’m Pretty as a Fairy
Mu Xichen’s eyes darkened. Unable to resist any further, he pounced on her and lowered his head to kiss her.
Li Beinian did not expect Mu Xichen to just jump into it, she was completely unprepared and defenseless!
Then, as though suddenly realizing something, Li Beinian pushed his face away and said, “No.”
Mu Xichen paused and looked up.
His neatly combed hair was a little messy now, and his eyes were on fire as he looked at her.
Li Beinian shrank back. “I haven’t removed my makeup. The makeup is so thick today you’d be poisoned if you swallowed it.”
“I won’t!” Mu Xichen lowered his head to kiss her chin and mumbled, “It’s not like I haven’t swallowed it before.”
Li Beinian resisted again and had no choice but to tell him the truth. “You still can’t. The weather is hot and my face will be sweaty. Although I’m pretty as a fairy now, I’ll look like a ghost soon.”
Mu Xichen laughed when he heard this. “Shameless.”
Li Beinian was indignant. “Am I not pretty?”
“Yes, pretty.” Mu Xichen tugged at her belt. “Intoxicatingly pretty. Even with smudged makeup.”
As he spoke, he removed her jacket and started to tug at her inner dress.
However, this dress was rather complicated. After trying for a long time, Mu Xichen couldn’t undo the knot, so he simply forced the dress apart.
Li Beinian exclaimed, “I want to keep this still…”
However, before she could finish, Mu Xichen had sealed his mouth over hers, drowning out her words.
They had not been allowed to meet before the wedding, and hadn’t seen each other for a week.
And before that week apart, Mu Xichen had been busy with all sorts of things so they had spent very little time together. He was usually so tired that he’d fall asleep the moment he got home.
Li Beinian couldn’t help but be stirred by his enthusiasm as well.
It was a turbulent night.
Worried about how she might look with smudged makeup, the first thing Li Beinian did afterwards was to remove her makeup and take a shower. However, by the time she was done, it was already dawn.
The sound of roosters crowing and birds chirping could be heard coming from outside the bathroom.
Li Beinian was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. However, she suddenly turned around and saw that between the mountain peaks in the distance, the clouds had been dyed red. The morning sun was peeking out from the horizon and illuminating the land.
She yawned and towel-dried her hair as she looked out of the window at the sunrise. She felt at peace.
The door handle creaked softly as it was turned. Mu Xichen walked in.
He immediately saw that Li Beinian was drying her hair by the sink.
The girl greeted him with a smile and wave. “Look, it’s so beautiful.”
She pointed at the rising sun.
Mu Xichen gently held her waist, but his gaze s.h.i.+fted from the sunrise to her face.
At this point, Li Beinian was staring straight ahead. Her amber eyes lit by a beautiful glow, and her fair face was covered in a soft blush. Her smile faded slightly as she seemed to recall something, but her expression was obviously relaxed and happy.
She turned to cast a sidelong look at him and said cheerfully, “A new day has begun, Hubby.”
The past was gone.
Mu Xichen felt that there was something behind her smile and it made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
It was as if she was saying goodbye to something.
Mu Xichen was shocked by his own thought.
Suppressing this sense of unease, the man lifted her up and walked out, saying, “Let’s go back to bed!”
