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

Chapter 240: Lieutenant Gu, You Know Bo Chengcheng?

Aunt Jiang heard this while clearing the table and laughed. “How could you bully a righteous man? Leader Mu is a gentleman.”

 Li Beinian’s face was full of distaste as she said, “That’s because you don’t know his real face. He…”

 At that time, the car outside honked and Li Beinian trailed off.

 “Let’s go.” Mu Xichen’s voice was faint as he took her hand naturally.

 His coarse and warm palm made Li Beinian’s heart itch.

 His wheat-colored skin was a stark contrast against her fair white skin.

 It was obvious that they were a couple’s hand.

 Her dream last night became extremely vivid at this moment.

 She flushed and subconsciously pulled her hand back, but he tightened his grip instead.

 She struggled unhappily and said, “Let go, I can walk by myself!”

 Mu Xichen pretended he didn’t hear her and pulled her out quickly.

 Aunt Jiang stared at their backs and smiled widely.

 The sound of a cane hitting the floor sounded. Aunt Jiang turned to look at Old Master Li and smiled. “It looks like Leader Mu has taken quite a fancy to our Miss.”

Old Master Li laughed in satisfaction. “It’s not just him that likes our Nian Nian, I think Nian Nian is also rather interested in him. This is good. Mu Xichen is also part of the Mu Family. It’s much better to marry him than that Mu Donglin.”

 Aunt Jiang laughed teasingly. “You didn’t say that last time.”

 “Wasn’t that because he was still in the army? Now that he has retired, I don’t have to worry about it anymore. He’s stronger than Donglin in all aspects.” Old Master Li explained himself seriously. “But it’s a pity that he is at this army rank at such a young age. If he had continued, he might even reach a higher rank.”

 “He has his own aspirations.” Aunt Jiang kept the chopsticks. “Aren’t you pretty happy about it?”

 “Yes, but it’s still a pity.” Old Master Li sighed. “He seems quite serious about our Nian Nian. This boy is simple and wouldn’t come to find her if he didn’t like her.”

 Aunt Jiang heard this and agreed. “Then you should tell the Mu Family about this quickly. I don’t think our Miss likes that Young Master Mu either. He seems so calculative, our honest and pure Leader Mu is much better.”

Old Master Li’s smile faded slightly and he sighed. “I’m afraid that would be a little difficult.”

 Li Beinian was dragged to the army green Hummer.

 She saw Gu Mingye and felt anger bubbly inside her, so she knocked on the window fiercely.

 The car started quickly and Gu Mingye smiled cheerfully. “Morning.”

 “Let me drive.” Li Beinian was angry and said, “With your lousy driving skills, such a big car can even shake. I’ve never seen a more unsteady driver than you!”

 Gu Mingye didn’t move and just explained cheekily, “Everyone has a learning period. I didn’t drive well yesterday night, but I might have improved today. Right, Chief?”

 Mu Xichen glanced at him indifferently and opened the car door. “Let him drive, he’s only useful for this.”

 “Yes, don’t snatch my job. I’ve already retired and managed to find a job as a driver. If you make me step down, I will go unemployed.”

Gu Mingye talked pitifully but had a smile on his face.

 Li Beinian got into the car unhappily and Mu Xichen also followed.

 But when they went in, they heard Gu Mingye’s phone ring.

 He picked up his phone without trying to hide it and Li Beinian glanced over unintentionally. She realized with a shock that the name on it was… Bo Chengcheng.
