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

Chapter 239: Since When Were You Two So Close

His words were full of meaning.

Mu Xichen glanced deeply at Old Master Li and nodded slightly. “I understand.”

Li Beinian’s face was black and she said, “Don’t you two need to consider my feelings when you talk?”

Old Master Li looked at her strangely and asked, “What’s wrong with what I said?”

“What are you thinking of?” Mu Xichen glanced at her lightly and said in a very solemn voice, “Grandpa is just giving his junior some serious advice and hints.”

“Exactly.” Old Master Li turned to Li Beinian righteously. “Young little girl, your thoughts must not stray.”

“Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll help bring her back to the right path.”

Old Master Li glanced at Mu Xichen and nodded in even greater satisfaction. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Li Beinian: “… Since when were you two so close?”

They were singing the same tune and simply turning her into the target!

When Old Master Li heard this, his expression turned heartbroken and disappointed and he said, “Look at how your thoughts are!”

Mu Xichen said solemnly, “We’re simply like-minded. It’s as if we’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Yes, yes.” Old Master Li looked at Mu Xichen ruefully and said, “You must come over more often and chat with me. You’re a rare friend I can share my views with!”

Mu Xichen nodded and said with a smile, “Of course.”

Li Beinian lowered her head obediently and ate her breakfast silently.

She finished quickly and stood up, but Old Master said, “Since you’ve finished eating, then go out with your benefactor.”

Li Beinian heard this and stared pitifully at Old Master. “Grandpa, I want to sleep. I’ve been too tired recently.”

Old Master Li felt discouraged.

Since when did this little girl start pretending to be pitiful?

He nodded and looked deeply at Li Beinian. “Since that’s the case…”

Li Beinian stared at him even more pitifully and waited for his answer.

However, Old Master glanced subconsciously at Mu Xichen and immediately said hard-heartedly, “Then go out with Xichen first. You can sleep when you’re back.”

Li Beinian’s expectations immediately collapsed and she turned unhappily to head up the stairs.

“Nian Nian, what are you doing?”

“I’m taking my purse!”

…

Li Beinian washed her face once she was upstairs.

She noticed that her complexion was a little bad when she looked in the mirror.

She patted her face with water and subconsciously grabbed her makeup on the side.

But she immediately pushed it back.

Tsk!

Why would she put on makeup? She shouldn’t let him think that she was interested!

She picked up her bag, went downstairs, and saw Mu Xichen carrying the black cat in his arms.

The black cat meowed in distress when it saw Li Beinian coming down. “Meow~”

“Don’t bully the cat!” Li Beinian ran down and hugged Small Lock in her arms. “What did I do for you to be so wronged?”

Mu Xichen glanced at her. “It doesn’t even recognize me, it used to cling to me.”

“You haven’t been back for so long.” Li Beinian put Small Lock down. “Go.”

Small Lock ran without the slightest hesitation, and when it reached the door, it didn’t forget to turn back to give one more glance.

Mu Xichen glanced over and the black cat immediately jumped and escaped with a loud “meow”.

Li Beinian stared at him in alert and said, “I’ve raised it for such a long time and it has never made such a pitiful sound. Did you mistreat it?”

Mu Xichen: “…”
