Liu Wei shrugged. “Who knows? But it’s true that he finds it hard to face you. After all, it was quite a blow to him. Look, you were obviously married to Leader Mu, but you pretended not to know him. Everyone thought that you were single. In fact, it would’ve been nothing out of the ordinary for Feng Yiran to woo you.”
Li Beinian nodded silently.
Liu Wei continued, “He’s just a little straightforward. You know he was in the same dormitory as Jiang Chun. I was told that whenever he was in the dormitory, he’d stare at your photo, smiling foolishly.”
Li Beinian frowned. “My photo? From where did he get my photo?”
Li Beinian didn’t really like taking photographs. Apart from the stylishly dark and untamed portraits she took some time ago, the other photographs of hers were stage photographs.
And the time that Liu Wei was referring to was before the stylized portraits were shot. Could Feng Yiran have been so crazy as to drool over the stage photographs?
Li Beinian felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Liu Wei quickly said, “I reckon they were stolen shots. You were in your military uniform in those photographs. Tsk, but I have to say, if you weren’t with Leader Mu, this kid would’ve been a good choice. He’s honest, doesn’t seek attention, and also quite focused. He’s been a top student since he was a child and graduated from Guangshi. However, he didn’t study acting, but directing. After becoming an actor, he went back to study business management, and he’s also the young boss of a big company. He seems to be good at everything.”
Before Li Beinian had a chance to respond, she suddenly saw a figure.
The tall and lanky silhouette was hovering near the entrance to the living room and seemed to have been there for a while.
Li Beinian initially wanted to gloss over it by agreeing that the man was indeed a fine specimen.
However, when she saw someone’s rather curious expression, she immediately changed the topic. “He’s good indeed, but isn’t Mu Donglin better than him?”
“That’s true.” Liu Wei nodded and suddenly felt a little envious. “Girl, you’ve had quite a number of options. However, I’m rather curious. How could you choose a soldier over Eldest Young Master Mu, a wealthy heir?”
Although Mu Xichen was not just a soldier, but also an all-powerful figure in the business world, this was knowledge that only came much later on.
Liu Wei understood that at the time when Li Beinian and Mu Xichen became a couple, Li Beinian was completely unaware of Mu Xichen’s net worth.
If it had been any other girl, Liu Wei would have been inclined to think that the person was taking advantage.
However, Li Beinian was not that sort. She was a person who said what she meant.
So…
It had been amazing how things worked out!
When Li Beinian heard Liu Wei’s question, she subconsciously glanced at Mu Xichen.
The man raised his eyebrow slightly. Although his expression was cool and calm, it was also full of curiosity.
Obviously, he too, wanted to know the answer to this question.
Li Beinian thought for a moment and said, “Probably because he treats me too well.”
“Forget it.” Liu Wei pouted. “Didn’t Feng Yiran treat you well too? He fawned on you every day and followed you around even in scorching hot weather. He was willing to do whatever you asked. Everyone noticed that.”
Li Beinian shook her head. “That’s different.”
“Well then, didn’t Eldest Young Master Mu treat you well? He acknowledged you and gave you a status before the media and hosted a series of events to introduce you. I heard that he even cut off all contact with his childhood sweetheart because of you. But still, you eventually gave him the boot didn’t you?”
Li Beinian shook her head again. “It’s not the same. It has never been for superficial reasons that Ah Chen treats me well.”
