Li Beinian smiled even more widely now.
She said, “Lin Kerou has gone foolish, I haven’t.”
Mu Donglin wasn’t bothered. “Do you always have to be so curt with your words?”
“Curt?” Li Beinian raised a brow. “Am I not speaking the truth?”
Mu Donglin looked at her deeply and said, “I’ve realized that Mu Xichen does have a good reason to like you. You’re rather unique.”
Li Beinian was slightly shocked.
Mu Xichen liked her?
How did Mu Donglin tell?
Li Beinian did not look the least bit shaken. “I don’t know if Mu Xichen likes me. But since you haven’t called the marriage contract off, could you have fallen for me?”
Mu Donglin leaned in.
Li Beinian was getting vigilant. She thought about the other time when she was in his car and his intentions…
“Yes.” Mu Donglin seemed to have sensed her wary state. “You’re pretty and wild…”
His cold eyes landed on her lips. “And you’ve got a sharp tongue. How could I not fall for you?”
“Oh?” Li Beinian smiled and looked him in the eye. “Since that’s the case, I guess we’re fit for each other?”
Li Beinian felt goosebumps as she uttered those words.
“What a pity, your heart is with Mu Xichen.” Mu Donglin reached out and held her chin.
Li Beinian looked a little disappointed. “I haven’t even talked about how Lin Kerou seduced you, and you’re putting the blame on me first?”
“I’m yours.” Mu Donglin chuckled. “No one will seduce me or take me away.”
“Ah… is this a confession?” Li Beinian felt disgusted.
Mu Donglin was calm. “If you say so.”
Li Beinian smiled lightly. She slowly said, “Since you love me, show me some sincerity, will you?”
“Sincerity?” Mu Donglin was a little shocked and also found this amusing. “Not many people ask me for sincerity.”
“I’m not the first, and I won’t be the last.”
“What sincerity do you want?”
Li Beinian smiled. “You know it. You know why I asked to call the contract off.”
“Because of Kerou?”
“Mm.” Li Beinian’s eyes squinted. “She… makes me uncomfortable.”
“She’s a nice person.”
“But I don’t like her.” Li Beinian eyed him. “I hope you stay away from her.”
“That’s the sincerity you want?”
“Yes.” Li Beinian seemed calm. “As long as you stay away from her and never meet her again, I’ll believe you.”
Mu Donglin’s eyes went cold. “Are you talking terms with me?”
“No.” Li Beinian’s expression went cold as well. “I just want sincerity from you.”
“And if I don’t agree to it?”
“Then what’s there to talk about? It’s my man we’re talking about here. I don’t care about his past, but since he chooses to be with me, then I won’t allow him to be impure in any way.” Li Beinian kept his eyes on him. “Confusion suggests infidelity. I’d rather sever ties between us than watch you waver between your choices.”
“Your man, you mean Mu Xichen?”
