Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pick you up…
Pick you up…
His magnetically husky voice echoed gently in her ear.
In that instant, all eyes were on Li Beinian.
Their eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and curiosity!
Li Beinian noticed them and inexplicably felt her face become slightly warm.
She looked up subconsciously and glanced at his face.
His five features were defined and exquisite, sharp, and beautiful.
His posture was tall and straight, and his temperament was clear and strict.
“How did you know I would be back today?”
She only remembered Bai Yuan after she asked this.
Bai Yuan immediately turned around, pulled Cheng Su, and said, “Let’s go for dinner. Sister Nian will go back with the Chief.”
Cheng Su was also discerning and nodded when she heard this. “Sister Nian, you can go back with Leader Mu first, we’ll settle things ourselves.”
Mu Xichen glanced at them lightly and responded.
He seemed to be in a good mood, but Li Beinian felt uncomfortable.
It took at least an hour’s drive from his house to the airport.
If he came from so far away to pick her up, was he… chasing her?
At this thought, Li Beinian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She looked up at him and said uncomfortably, “I… my grandpa is still waiting for me to eat with him, so I have to go home directly.”
“Ok, I’ll send you back and greet Grandpa Li as well.”
His voice was soft and decisive.
He glanced at her lightly, turned sideways, and said slowly, “Let’s go.”
Li Beinian was so embarrassed by the ambiguous glances around her. She whispered, “Erm, Leader Mu…”
“Yes?”
“I can just go back by myself. There are many people gossiping here and it’s not good if this matter spreads.”
“What can they spread?” Mu Xichen’s voice was also very low.
His broad and sturdy chest was right in front of her, his clear and clean scent lingering at the tip of her nose.
“Spread…” Li Beinian didn’t know what to say for a moment, and then she whispered, “What if someone thinks that we have that kind of relationship?”
“What kind?”
“The kind that…” Li Beinian also didn’t know how to phrase it, so she pushed him and whispered, “Anyway, just go first.”
This guy wasn’t good.
Although he was her life savior, that was a different matter.
If she went with him now, she might really cause unnecessary trouble.
When Mu Xichen saw that she had shoved him away, his eyes darkened slightly and a vague dangerous aura surrounded him.
This… was her way of saying she wanted a clean relationship with him so that she could marry Mu Donglin peacefully, right?
“Nian Nian,” Li Xueqing suddenly said.
When Li Beinian heard this, she turned and saw that Li Xueqing was smiling, though it seemed reluctant and her eyes even looked slightly sad. She said, “I didn’t expect you and Leader Mu to have such a good relationship.”
Li Beinian paused and raised an eyebrow at her. “Leader Mu is my benefactor. If it weren’t for him, I would have died on the island during the war.”
“Oh…” Li Beinian smiled, but her eyes held unspeakable jealousy as she stared at Li Beinian. “If I didn’t know that you had a fiancé, I would have thought that you two were a couple.”
“What? Li Beinian has a fiancé?”
“No way… then Leader Mu…”
