Chapter 536: Can’t You Have Some Proper Swimwear Ready!
Swimming?
Before Li Beinian could react, Mu Xichen had already walked down the stairs.
His tall figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the spiral staircase.
Li Beinian hurriedly followed behind and said, “I don’t have a swimsuit!”
“There’s one around somewhere.” Mu Xichen’s voice was indifferent. Once downstairs, Li Beinian saw that he had opened up the full-length window.
Next to it, was a tall closet.
Li Beinian had noticed it the last time she was here. At this point, Mu Xichen threw open the closet door. It revealed a collection of swimsuits of various hues.
Li Beinian widened her eyes and walked over. “When did you put all these together?”
Mu Xichen did not answer, but searched around with his long and slender fingers. Finally, he pulled out a sultry red bikini.
The most eye-catching feature of the swimsuit was the variety of silk ribbons attached to it.
They ran horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and some were embroidered.
At the strategic positions, there were only two red support pieces held in place by a red transparent gauze, the rest of it were ribbons.
The bottom piece was designed to cover even less than a lady’s standard underwear. The centre part was considerably normal, but the panels on each side … were more ribbons.
As Li Beinian looked at the pathetic amount of fabric, she blushed immediately and said, “Couldn’t you have gotten a more decent swimsuit!”
Mu Xichen looked a little surprised. “How is this indecent?”
As he spoke, he studied the swimsuit seriously. “This is what everyone’s wearing.”
In response, Li Beinian glared at him and snatched the swimsuit from him. She hung it back and said, “Tell me then, who else wears this?”
“Isn’t this how you dress on television?” Mu Xichen said in all seriousness. He took the swimsuit down from the closet and stuffed it into Li Beinian’s hands. “Be good and go change into it.”
“No!” Li Beinian refused flatly.
She pushed him away and rummaged through the closet.
There were a few pieces of swimsuits in the closet. Besides the red one, there was also a dark blue one, a black one, a white one, and a red short skirt.
The short skirt looked a little more normal. Just as Li Beinian was about to reach out for it, Mu Xichen stopped her and said, “This set works.”
His eyes were ablaze as he continued, “There’s something else.”
As he spoke, he drew out a drape from the bottom of the closet. “Throw this over once you’ve changed into your swimsuit.”
The drape was quite long and covered her thighs, and there were only two wide sleeves attached..
Considerably… conservative.
Before Li Beinian could speak, Mu Xichen put his arm around her shoulder and led her towards the swimming pool dressing room.
Pushing her into the room, he said, “Let’s have a competition after you’ve changed.”
“Competition?” Li Beinian turned to look at him. “As in a swimming competition?”
“Any sort of competition. The most important point is that it has to require a stake.” Although he wore a calm expression, it could not hide the fire in his eyes.
Li Beinian felt as if she had entered a wolf’s den. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis brewing, and said, “It’s autumn and very cold to be swimming.”
“The sun is scorching, it won’t be cold.” Mu Xichen shut the door. “Let’s change.”
Li Beinian was left speechless.
It took Li Beinian a long time to sort out all the ribbons on her swimsuit.
When she finally had it on, she realized that the swimsuit was particularly… high-quality.
It made her B-cup bosom look a whole size larger. Circling her fingers around them and feeling their weight, she said rather smugly, “I’m pretty well-endowed.”
Feeling terribly exposed wearing this swimsuit, Li Beinian quickly threw the drape over herself as she walked out.
