“That mess?”
Mu Xichen smiled as though he didn’t know what she was talking about.
He leaned over further and asked as he continued to wipe the sides of her lips, “What mess?”
“The bedsheets!”
“What’s wrong with the sheets?” He leaned towards her and said mischievously, “It’s proof of our love.”
L… Love…
That seemed… logical…
However, Li Beinian was obviously feeling shameful.
It was an innocent word, but why did it sound so pornographic when he said it!
She glared at him and pushed him away, saying, “You pervert!”
“Pervert?” Mu Xichen held her hand and gave her a light peck. His gaze deepened as he reminded her, “You were the one who seduced me last night. How does that make me a pervert?”
Li Beinian didn’t have a come back for that.
She turned away and scowled deliberately. “So, you didn’t clean up?”
Seeing how agitated she was, he stopped teasing her. He straightened and finally said, “I did.”
“Really?” Li Beinian eyed him carefully, then sighed in relief. “That gave me a fright!”
The man’s smile broadened. He opened the door and got out of the car.
She realized he had been smiling a lot today.
In her memory, he had always kept a poker face. She had rarely seen him smile as much as today.
Did that mean… he was really happy?
Her heart warmed. She immediately picked up the documents that had slipped off her lap earlier on and returned them to the document folder. He walked over and opened the door for her.
She glanced at him, then meticulously slipped the marriage certificates into her handbag before picking up the document folder and getting out of the car.
Mu Xichen observed her actions closely. Smiling even more now, he took her hand and led her into the house.
Li Beinian very quickly noted that this place was huge. Really huge.
There were many beautiful flowers in the garden, creating a splash of color.
The roses planted by the perimeter wall were blooming, and as it was in the afternoon, the sunflowers were thriving gloriously in the bright light.
The grassy ground was lush, and little flowers with unknown names seemed to be basking in the sun. Everything seemed so alive.
She glanced around and finally rested her gaze on the courtyard facade.
It was spectacular and generous, although not in the same way as the extremely luxurious, castle-styled Mu Family Mansion.
The look of this entrance was a lot more comfortable.
It had the clean-cut minimalism of modern times while maintaining the exquisiteness and undertones of the ancient Xia Nation.
Uh-huh. One would know at a glance that this was Mu Xichen’s residence.
Li Beinian followed his lead and realized that the main door employed an iris recognition system!
“Come here.”
Mu Xichen pulled her closer and made a scan of her iris.
It was the first time Li Beinian was using a biometric door security system. She pushed Mu Xichen away, tried a scan of her eye, and immediately, it unlocked the door.
“How classy.”
Giggling, she shut the door and tried it again. The door was once again successfully unlocked.
Mu Xichen smiled and reached out to caress her head. At the same time, he drew her into his embrace and said, “Let’s go. It’s mealtime.”
When he opened the door to the house, they heard noises coming from within.
The men moving back and forth were all tall and well-built.
The aroma of food wafted into their nostrils, making Li Beinian realize that her stomach was rumbling.
Bai Yuan saw them right away and called out, “Woah, Boss is home!”
It was a loud call, and with that, everyone put aside whatever chores they were doing and ran out curiously.
Quickly sweeping her gaze over the group, Li Beinian estimated that there were at least ten of them!
When the people saw the couple, they were a little awkward initially, but eventually, someone among them took the lead, and everyone called out in unison, “Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law!”
Li Beinian shivered at the thunderous greeting.
