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

Chapter 275: Why Are You So Happy Today

His furious voice echoed in the car.

Mu Xichen did not feel the least guilty. He said softly, “Why are you so worked up? I didn’t even ask you for money.”

Jiang Yeqing wanted to vomit blood as he gritted his teeth. “Do you think I need your money? If I give you my money, will you plant it back for me?”

“Oh, that Yanzhou situation…”

“I’m joking.” Jiang Yeqing changed his tone. “Quickly come over. I’m starving!”

Before Mu Xichen could say anything, Jiang Yeqing hung up the phone.

It was as if he feared that he would go back on his word.

…

When Li Beinian reached home, she started humming a tune.

Aunt Jiang was cleaning up the house. Looking at her, she asked, “Why are you so happy today?”

“Really?” Li Beinian hid her smile and immediately thought about Mu Donglin in the hot pot restaurant. She curved her lips again. “Well, I’m quite happy.”

Suddenly, she remembered that Mu Donglin might be waiting for her.

She took out her phone and saw several WeChat messages.

One of them was from Mu Donglin.

Mu Dong Dong: [I have to settle something at work, so I’ll leave first.]

She glanced at the time. It was not long up after the call was hung up.

Li Beinian wanted to laugh, but she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Damned Mu Xichen!

She did not know where else she could find such a disgusting voice. It was so humiliating!

She exited her chat with Mu Dong Dong and saw a profile icon that was completely white except for the middle which was dark.

It was Mu Xichen.

Li Beinian couldn’t help but click on his profile picture and enlarge it. It turned out to be a muzzle!

She instinctively thought about the life and death situation on the island that day when she was sweating and standing upright.

A chill was sent down her spine. She quickly closed it and read the text he sent.

Short Lived Mu Xichen: [When I went out, I heard grandpa coughing. Show him some concern.]

Li Beinian fell silent. She looked up at Aunt Jiang and asked, “Has grandpa been coughing recently?”

Aunt Jiang paused.

She looked up at her and sighed. “Yes. Recently, the weather is bad and he thinks about when you will be back every day. Every night, he can only sleep after you come back. But he wakes up at 6 am sharp every morning. Recently, he hasn’t been resting well and has been coughing for two days, but he doesn’t dare to tell you.”

Yes, Old Master Li even tried to hide his coughing.

These two days, he rarely appeared in front of Li Beinian because he feared that she would be worried.

Looking at her, there was a sour feeling in Li Beinian’s heart. “I did come back late these few days. Grandpa has always been waiting for me?”

“Yes,” Aunt Jiang said as she tidied the house. “He’s old and he’s only thinking about his grandchildren. You’re the granddaughter he loves the most and he’s afraid that you will be kidnapped like last time and won’t return. He keeps talking about it and I’ve told him that you are fine, but he doesn’t listen.”

“So grandpa is fine, right?”

“He just took some medicine and fell asleep.” Aunt Jiang looked at her and advised. “Don’t tell him that I told you this. If he finds out he will call me out for gossiping.”

“I won’t.” Li Beinian smiled, but she was a little sad. “Recently, I’ve been busy with work. I have to go out later as well.”

“Try to come home a little earlier. Old people will remember in their hearts. Seeing him not being able to eat or sleep well hurts my heart.”

…

Li Beinian discreetly went into her grandpa’s room. He was quietly sleeping.

His kind face accompanied her for two lifetimes.

In her past life, if it wasn’t for her grandpa’s protection, she would have been exploited by Li Haoran, her uncle, and her cousins.

Her heart was filled with warmth but sadness.

After watching him for a while, she silently left.

As long as she was an actress, her work schedule was unstable.

She had completely left out this problem in the past and felt at ease.

However, now, she also could not quit.

She had to move out as soon as possible…

Ding-Dong.

Bo Chengcheng: [The company has just issued some benefits. Top rate artistes can be assigned an apartment. If you’re free, come over to get the key from me.]

Li Beinian was shocked and couldn’t help but exclaim. “What a coincidence!”

Furthermore, she was the one top rate artiste in the company, right?
