She looked at the dress and then turned towards Mu Donglin.
Mu Donglin frowned slightly.
“Is this for me?” She sounded surprised.
Mu Donglin still had his brows knitted together. “Actually…”
“So you got me here to give this to me.” Li Beinian seemed delighted. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Mu Donglin. “I thought… you just wanted to defend Lin Kerou. I didn’t expect to have misunderstood you.”
Li Beinian looked at the extravagant dress in her hands.
One could see the joy in her eyes.
She seemed so, so happy.
Mu Donglin had never seen her like this before.
So sweet and young, pure and innocent.
All the unpleasantness she showed him previously seemed to have evaporated instantly.
Mu Donglin’s expression softened. “As long as you like it. Anyway, you can wear it to my birthday banquet tomorrow.”
He had planned to give this to Lin Kerou.
But it was just a dress anyway, no big deal.
If this could turn Li Beinian into a nice, docile girl, it was worth it.
He wondered how Mu Xichen would react if he found out that she could be bought over so easily by a dress.
It’d be interesting to watch!
“Mm!” Li Beinian looked excited, but a strange light flickered in her eyes.
She looked out the window and exclaimed, “Why did you send me here? I don’t live here anymore.”
It was Li Haoran’s house, the three of them lived in there.
Mu Donglin realized it too. “Do I detour?”
“No need.” Li Beinian closed the gift box. “This will do.”
The show had only just begun. She was about to give Li Xueqing a huge gift.
She’d definitely be delighted.
Li Beinian smiled as she got off the car, the gift box in her arms. “Thank you for sending me home. See you tomorrow.”
Mu Donglin nodded and suddenly felt that Li Beinian was so much more pleasant to look at now. “See you tomorrow.”
She pressed the doorbell and the housemaid came out.
Her smile wasn’t all too enthusiastic when she realized it was Li Beinian. “Second Miss is back.”
“Yes.”
Li Beinian did not bother much about it and walked straight in.
The family of three was chatting in the living room. They looked rather surprised when they saw that Li Beinian had returned.
“Nian Nian, why are you back all of a sudden? Have you eaten?” Fang Zhili looked shocked and immediately got up.
“I’ve eaten.” Li Beinian said, “Donglin sent me home on the way. Is my room still here?”
“Of course it is, why would you ask this.” Li Haoran was taken aback by her question.
Li Xueqing’s sharp eyes landed on the box in her hands. “What’s that?”
Li Beinian did not answer her. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head up first.”
She then went upstairs to her room.
Li Xueqing said, “Mom, Dad, I’ll speak to Nian Nian for a while. There’s a rival show tomorrow.”
“Mm, alright.” Li Haoran was comforted to see that she was taking initiative to discuss matters with Li Beinian. “And at the same time, persuade Nian Nian to just stay here instead. It’s so troublesome to be moving about.”
“Alright.” Li Xueqing smiled as she agreed to it. But the smile vanished the moment she turned around.
Let Li Beinian move back?
Dream on!
She’d gone to such lengths to have everyone believe Li Beinian had nothing to do with the Li Family. If she moved back, this would be discovered sooner or later!
