“Get out.”
The instruction was simple and concise.
He obviously spoke in his usual nonchalant manner, but given the context, Li Beinian was sure that she could pick up the underlying aggressiveness.
She shuddered very subtly. Her heart was almost going numb as she tried her best to shrink back.
Mu Xichen bent over to look at her with his deep and dark eyes. The storm brewing in them belied the calm expression on his face.
Unable to take it anymore, Li Beinian finally spoke, “What do you want?”
She had every intention to stand her ground and yell at him, yet she found that all that came out was a whimper.
At these words, Mu Xichen straightened and flipped open the document holder he was carrying.
He drew out a stack of papers and threw them onto her lap. He then said in a dignified and deep voice, “These are the business licenses of the three companies I’ve set up this year.”
“What?” Li Beinian was stumped as she looked at the documents.
Shangzhi Group Corporation Ltd.
Shangzhi?
It was the new company that had appeared out of the blue in recent years to undertake renewal projects in a few older areas of Guang City. Now the property prices in these areas had shot up many times!
Having made numerous achievements, it now monopolized a few prime areas within Guang City. Even Qing Shui Fu belonged to them.
That Shangzhi was Mu Xichen’s company was unexpected news to her.
Li Beinian’s eyes widened in disbelief. Just as she was about to examine the documents more closely, Mu Xichen tossed a few booklets onto her lap and said coldly, “This is my passbook.”
“Hang on!”
The girl raised her palm to stop him.
Alas, Mu Xichen paid no attention, and, as though deliberately going against her, he drew out yet a few more red booklets from the document holder.
He placed all these on her lap, then bent down to look at her again, his deep phoenix eyes unfathomable.
Like a Black Hole waiting to engulf and destroy her.
All of her curiosity and bravery instantly vanished into the depths of those eyes.
She quickly shrank back again, not daring to look at him straight in the face.
He spoke unhurriedly as he continued to stare at her, “And this is my title deed.”
Not able to hold herself back any longer, Li Beinian raised her voice. “Mu Xichen…”
“This is my account book.” He drew out a dark purple booklet and held it up to her lips, silencing her as he continued, “And here’s yours.”
She held her breath subconsciously as she looked at him, her eyes flashing.
He withdrew his hand so that the account book fell away from the girl’s lips. Then, turning around, he handed the document holder to Bo Chengcheng.
Before Li Beinian could even respond to any of this, he had grabbed her wrist.
She withdrew her hand instinctively, only to realize that Mu Xichen wasn’t going to let go. With one firm yank, he pulled her out of the car.
Li Beinian gave a shrill scream and dropped herself to the ground, attempting to use her body weight to resist. She yelled, “What are you doing!”
Obviously, this effort was futile.
The man scooped her into his arms effortlessly, like he was a tiny chick. It was comical to watch.
She instantly found herself in the man’s embrace.
One thing that came across very clearly to her was the unrested state of his heartbeat. His strong arms were pressing her so tightly against himself that she had no room to wriggle.
Her mind drew a blank now, as she stared, unfocused, at a sign in the distance. Her heart pounded like thunder in her own ears. At the same time, she felt awfully lost, as though she was in a strange place.
The next moment, she felt someone take her hand, and the sensation of something cold being stuffed down the length of her ring finger.
Stunned, she looked down. It was a luxurious diamond ring, giving off a uniquely exquisite sparkle as it caught the light of the sun.
His deep voice resounded in her ears, “I’m marrying you.”
