"No, I was eating snacks and bit my lip." Li Buyan touched the corner of her mouth, her little face still smiling. "I’ll order the dishes!"
"Okay." Li Muchi handed her the menu, his eyes like they had been dipped in ice.
It did look like a bite.
But more like someone else had bitten her.
The two chatted in the private room, and soon the waiter started serving the dishes.
Once all the dishes were served and the waiter had just left, the door of the private room opened.
"Mind if I join you?" Li Xingle entered in a burgundy suit, naturally pulled out a chair, and sat beside Li Buyan.
He acted like he had been invited!
This man, does he dare to be any more shameless?
"Yanyan, who is this?" Li Muchi asked with a faint smile.
"No idea! Must have come to the wrong place!" Li Buyan held her chopsticks. "Sir, shouldn’t you be leaving?"
"Did I come to the wrong place, Little Li? Are you sure?" Li Xingle suddenly reached out and pressed his fingertip on the scab at the corner of her mouth. "Just kissed you, and now that I’m dressed, you don’t recognize me?"
Li Buyan swallowed and gripped her chopsticks tightly. "Mr. Li, if you’re broke, I can afford to buy you dinner. Eat up!"
Better eat and scram!
"Little Li is so good to me. If I’m broke, you still want to take care of me. Having a daughter like you, what more could one ask for!" Li Xingle’s eyes gleamed with pride. "This gentleman, don’t be shy, eat more!"
Li Muchi, unfazed, held his bamboo chopsticks. "Since you’re Yanyan’s friend, you’re my friend too. Don’t be shy."
Li Xingle snorted coldly. Friend? Who’s friends with the Li family?
Li Muchi picked a dish for Li Buyan. This cousin had been spoiled from childhood, and now she was in Jing City alone for school, and her family was worried.
How long has it been since Yanyan was bullied by a man!
He looked somewhat familiar...
Especially, the tear mole at the corner of his eye, as if someone like that had appeared in his memory...
"Brother Chi, wait for me..."
"Brother Chi, why can’t we live together..."
"Brother Chi, why did Dad send me away!"
"Brother Chi, Dad doesn’t want me anymore..."
Li Muchi glanced at Li Xingle once more from the corner of his eye, his heart uneasy. How was Yanyan involved with him?
"Brother Mu Chi, why aren’t you eating? Not to your taste?" Li Buyan looked at him with curiosity and concern.
Li Muchi had not moved his chopsticks for a long time!
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something." Li Muchi immediately picked up a piece of fish to cover up.
"What could be more important than eating? Full belly, clear thoughts..." Li Xingle sneered.
"Shut up! Even eating can’t shut your mouth!" Li Buyan glared at him, losing her appetite.
"Brother Mu Chi, let’s go!" Li Buyan grabbed her bag, not wanting to stay with Li Xingle a second longer!
Li Xingle watched them leave, forcefully putting down his chopsticks, leaning back in his chair.
One day, he would crush them all!
In the silence of the car as they left, Li Muchi suddenly turned to her. "Stay away from him in the future."
"Brother Mu Chi, I want to! I don’t want to see him at all! Li Xingle acts like I’ve offended his entire family!" Li Buyan clenched her little fists, "Do you think he’s brain-dead, or mentally ill?"
