The engagement ceremony was a sensation. People from all walks of life knew about this celebratory news.
It was a trending topic on Weibo. On the same day, many netizens started to spread the horrifying turn of events: Li Beinian’s fiancé, the renowned Young Master Mu, cheated on her.
“Excuse me, is this a joke?”
“I was so shocked that I almost lost my sh*t. Where’s the proof? I don’t want to believe in toxic rumors!”
“Ah! Imagine how mad their family will be seeing this news after Eldest Young Master put the ring on our Queen Beinian’s finger! You better not be spreading baseless rumors!”
“That’s impossible! It’s not true! Our queen just got engaged, but you just said that her fiancé cheated?”
…
A large number of netizens expressed their doubts on the matter.
However, such rumors disappeared without a trace in less than half an hour.
It was like a pebble was thrown into a lake. It caused slight ripples that quickly disappeared.
Everyone just treated it as a small mishap and millions of blessings were sent to Li Beinian’s Weibo after the engagement ceremony.
However, at this moment, she was sitting in another person’s car.
Mu Xichen drove steadily towards Qing Shui Fu. He held the steering wheel with a cold face.
His usually calm eyes looked at the road ahead as usual.
From the start to the end, neither of them spoke a word.
Li Beinian sat in the passenger’s seat. Just when they had almost reached her home, she suddenly said, “Stop the car.”
Mu Xichen looked over and saw that her face was blank.
“Help me buy something,” Li Beinian said to him. “I can’t get out of the car like this.”
“Buy what?” Mu Xichen unfastened his seat belt and picked up his wallet.
However, what Li Beinian said next made him pause for a moment.
She said, “Help me buy a packet of cigarettes and two dozen beers.”
Mu Xichen glanced at her sideways and his eyes darkened.
After staring at her for some time, he finally opened the car door and got out.
When he returned, he placed the beers in the trunk.
Afterward, he got in the car and drove to Qing Shui Fu’s car park.
Li Beinian asked, “Where are the cigarettes?”
“I forgot.”
She was speechless.
When they went upstairs, Li Beinian entered her passcode and turned on the lights.
Mu Xichen placed the beers on the floor and put them on the table one bottle at a time.
Not only were there beers, but there were also other snacks.
Li Beinian kicked off her heels and sat down. She skillfully picked up the corkscrew to pry open the beer bottle and quickly drank it.
Seeing her like this, Mu Xichen frowned and snatched the bottle from her from behind. His voice was low and dissatisfied. “You’ll get drunk easily.”
He pulled the bottle straight out of her mouth. At once, the excess yellow liquid flowed down her chin.
Soon, it dripped off her delicate face and fell on her fiery red dress.
Under the light, her snow-white skin looked smooth. Wearing a dress that showed her cleavage, she was especially attractive.
Mu Xichen glanced at her, pursed his lips, and sat down beside her.
“Mu Xichen.” Li Beinian grabbed another bottle and opened it. “Do you believe that people can reincarnate?” She asked.
She looked at him sideways.
The corners of her red lips seemed to be hiding a smile, and she looked at him expectantly.
