[2] Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please, Restrain Yourself

Chapter 229: Find Pleasure in Me and Bear My Children

Mu Che took a deep breath like he was sighing. “Everyone’s here, serve the dishes.”

The housemaid poured a cup of hot tea for Mu Xichen and handed him a hot towel.

Mu Xichen was still expressionless, not realizing that his words had caused displeasure.

Li Beinian’s heart tensed.

She heard that Mu Xichen didn’t get along with the Mu Family.

However, she did not expect that Mu Xichen had not eaten with them in the past five years.

Then, why was he back this time?

Sitting across her, Mu Xichen wiped his hands and glanced at Li Beinian’s neck.

Subconsciously, Li Beinian touched the necklace that Mu Donglin just put on for her.

However, Mu Xichen looked away quickly.

As if he was just looking around casually.

The feast was served promptly. Mu Donglin helped Li Beinian to the food diligently.

Li Beinian was flattered by his actions, and she could feel Lin Kerou staring at her bitterly.

It was a silent meal. After a long while, Mu Donglin looked at Mu Xichen and said slowly in his cold voice, “Xichen is at the right age for marriage. It’s time to find a girl.”

Hearing what he said, many people shifted their eyes to look at Mu Xichen.

Li Xueqing looked like she was anticipating something.

Fang Zhili and Li Haoran both saw it in her eyes.

Mu Xichen was slowly enjoying his meal. Hearing his words, he paused.

“Your brother is right.” Mu Che put down his chopsticks. “You’re 25 now. It’s time to settle down and help out at the company and find a suitable partner in the process. It would be bad if you end up single forever.”

Mu Xichen put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with the napkin. “I’ll consider it.”

He then stood up and said, “I’m full. I’ll leave first.”

Mu Che frowned unhappily. He then took a deep breath in frustration.

Seeing this, Mu Donglin said, “Dad, maybe my words offended him. I’ll talk to him.”

“Go.” Mu Che seemed tired. “Xichen is finally back. Persuade him to move back with us.”

“Yes.”

Mu Donglin nodded and walked towards Mu Xichen’s room.

The room was huge, but the lights were off.

Mu Donglin switched on the lights and walked in to see Mu Xichen sitting on the couch.

From afar, he seemed lonely.

Nonetheless, he still gave off a feisty aura due to his commandeering role. His posture and stance were naturally sharp even though he was sitting casually.

Mu Donglin’s eyes darkened. As he adjusted his tie with his slender fingers, a malicious smile hung on his usually emotionless face.

“I didn’t expect you to come back.” He said slowly, “You care so much about Li Beinian?”

Mu Xichen laid into the couch lazily. His eyes got darker as Mu Donglin approached him.

“I didn’t expect you to regress as you age. Why are you so easily swayed.”

Mu Donglin stopped. He leaned over the table and stared at Mu Xichen arrogantly. “Unfortunately for you, no matter how much love you have for her, she is my fiancèe.”

“She will marry me and become your sister-in-law, find pleasure in me, bear my children, and call you her brother-in-law.”

Mu Xichen was still calm.

As if Mu Donglin’s words did not affect him in any way.

Right when Mu Donglin started to doubt if his words reached him.

Mu Xichen smiled.
