Chapter 286: Untitled
His eyes looked into hers more deeply than ever.
Li Beinian felt a chill down her spine and quickly straightened up.
Standing upright, she was tenser than ever.
Li Beinian hadn’t expected Mu Xichen to have such a cold, ruthless side!
Mu Xichen always appeared so quiet and calm before her. She even found him a little dorky.
So… the real Mu Xichen… was this brutal?
…
Then, footsteps could be heard coming from outside.
Li Beinian looked towards the door and heard Gu Mingye’s voice. “Boss, Bei Lun escaped.”
“Where’s Sister Bo!” Li Beinian ran forward and saw a huge group standing at the entrance.
They were all in casual clothing, but their expressions, actions, and posture were standardized.
They were obviously the military troop Mu Xichen had left!
Gu Mingye was shocked to see Li Beinian’s swollen face. “What the heck, who beat you up!”
Li Beinian intuitively brought her hand to her face and felt a stinging sensation.
She looked up at Gu Mingye and asked once again, “Where’s Sister Bo?”
Mu Xichen looked at her even more deeply when she asked that.
He suddenly stood right before her.
Li Beinian looked up at him in shock as he reached his arms out.
Li Beinian took a step back as a strange sense of nervousness swept over her. But before she knew it, he was buttoning up the coat he had covered her in.
“She’s much better off than you.”
Mu Xichen’s voice was low and his hands warm as they made contact with parts of her skin.
Li Beinian felt an odd sensation in her heart.
She had just seen him break that foreigner’s arm, and now he was speaking to her so gently…
What was this!
“Does it hurt?” Mu Xichen asked.
The uneasiness dissipated as Li Beinian snapped. “Why don’t you get slapped and see how that feels?”
Mu Xichen pursed his lips. “What about other parts?”
“Mm…”
She was actually pretty badly hurt. She felt stinging sensations all over.
Her arms, legs, waist…
But what exactly was he referring to?
Whether she had been assaulted, bullied?
Li Beinian was upset by that question as she tugged at her sleeves.
It smelt like Mu Xichen all over.
But at this point, she felt upset as she looked up at him. “Where are you referring to?”
Mu Xichen acutely sensed her change in mood. For some reason, there was a hint of coldness in her statement.
Seeing her slightly furrowed brows, Mu Xichen reached out and gently placed his thumb on her temple. “Everywhere.”
Everywhere?
How very subtle!
Li Beinian brought his hand down and said, “Don’t touch me, I’m alright!”
Li Beinian’s breathing quickened as she clenched her jaw. “It’d be your fault too if I got raped! I’ve been so unlucky since knowing you!”
With that, she walked past him and headed off.
What did that mean?
He wouldn’t like her anymore if she was raped?
The anger in her heart grew, as much as the pain did.
Stomping off, she didn’t forget to say, “Toxic Male!”
