Li Beinian was dumbfounded. “What the heck. How can you ask for this?!”
Mu Xichen acted as if there was nothing wrong. “Why not?”
“Of course not!” Li Beinian raised her voice. “Women only cook for their families. You’re not even part of my family!”
“This rule exists?” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow. “Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
Li Beinian was at a loss of words.
Indeed, there was no such rule…
However…
Isn’t cooking for someone too intimate?
“Anyway, I object to it!”
“Well then, you can invite me over for a meal. I wouldn’t mind that.”
“I mind it!” Li Beinian gritted her teeth. “Don’t you know how to cook for yourself?”
“No.”
“Are you going to hire a nanny?”
“No.”
“What do you usually eat, then?!”
“Rice.”
Li Beinian was speechless.
She really wanted to cut open this man’s head to see whether he actually had a brain.
Looking at her expression, a smile flashed across Mu Xichen’s face. He slowly said, “In that case… I will be waiting for you here tomorrow.”
Li Beinian rebuked. “I didn’t agree!”
Mu Xichen ignored her and said, “Go home. I don’t have a partner yet, so don’t spoil my reputation.”
Li Beinian’s face darkened and she retorted. “How dare you! I haven’t warned you not to ruin my reputation as well! You’re the one who called me over in the middle of the night!”
“That’s right.” He nodded slightly and seriously replied. “I should send you back, then.”
“No need!” Li Beinian gritted her teeth. “I will go back myself. You can continue staying here alone!”
“What if you say something that ruins my reputation?” Mu Xichen gazed at her with his dark eyes. “I will suffer a huge loss.”
Li Beinian’s heart sank and she gritted her teeth. “Mu Xichen, why are you so shameless!”
“I just want to be on the safe side.” As he spoke, Mu Xichen inched closer. “How about you tell me what you really want to do to me?”
As the distance between them closed up, Li Beinian’s heart started pounding and she subconsciously took a step back.
With this step, her back pressed against the wall.
There was nowhere else to escape. Li Beinian indignantly raised her head and sneered. “In your dreams!”
“Sharp tongue,” Mu Xichen said in a soft yet dark tone as he looked deeply into her eyes. “You’re blushing.”
The girl in front of him had fair and rosy skin and her hands were unbelievably smooth.
There was not a single flaw on her white face. It was crystal clear and looked radiant.
At this moment, she shouted, “You must be blind, then!”
Only after this shout did he realize something was wrong.
Mu Xichen lowered his head slightly. His eyes were still fixed on her.
Standing against the backlight, the warm light cast a shadow on him that outlined his silhouette.
It looked like… it was getting closer…
In shock, Li Beinian only felt a wave of blood rushing to her head and there was a ringing sound in her mind.
She quickly bent down, glimpsed at the places where the light was coming in and immediately fled.
Mu Xichen was taken aback and spun around to watch her.
Li Beinian stumbled backward, saw his cheeks turn red, turned and quickly ran away.
It was as if she saw a ghost.
Mu Xichen stared at the place that Li Beinian was standing at for some time before he snapped back to reality and suddenly smiled.
–
Li Beinian’s face was incredibly flushed.
Her heart seemed to be operating like an engine because her heartbeat just would not slow down!
Was she possessed?!
She actually felt that this man… was so handsome that he made her knees weak…
“Oh my god, I’m going crazy!”
