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

Chapter 330: Secret Love Affair

However, before he could overthink further, Li Beinian spoke. "What sort of relationship do we have? We're not really friends and not really lovers. You're also Mu Donglin's brother and I'm his fiancèe."

She seemed to have made up her mind and widened her eyes. "Today, in front of our families, you insinuated that Mu Donglin and Lin Kerou had an affair and Lin Kerou was forced to get a body check-up to prove Mu Donglin's innocence. However, at night, we're meeting up again. What's the logic?

"Although I hate Mu Donglin, I can't do this sort of thing!

"If he really did something with Lin Kerou, I might be able to get out of the marriage and date someone else, but now it has been proven that Kerou and he are innocent. If there's something between us, isn't it the same as Pan Jinlian?"

The more Li Beinian explained, the more she felt wronged. "You haven't considered these things before. You just think that you can like whoever you want without thinking about how others feel.

"My grandpa has been a good man his whole life and he loves me the most. If I ruin our family's reputation, what will he think? How will the others treat him?"

Mu Xichen saw that she was in an irascible mood and was struck by her remarks.

"The situation that happened today will repeat again and everyone will just criticize me to death. At that time, even grandpa won't be able to protect me. Who am I going to cry to?"

As she spoke, Li Beinian reached out to push Mu Xichen away. "That's why not meeting each other is the best option. We're separate people. No matter how much I like you, I have to wait for the engagement to be over. Otherwise, I will just be a cheater in a secret love affair!"

Secret love affair.

Such sensitive words emerged from her mouth and sounded enchanting.

Looking at her, Mu Xichen took a deep breath and asked, "Is that it?"

His carefree and indifferent expression succeeded in angering her.

Glaring at him, Li Beinian struggled to get up. "Isn't that enough? By the time we are caught, we will be an adulterous couple. It will be so awful!"

It would be a corrupted and humiliating act!

Nowadays, people were more human. In ancient times, they would be drowned in pig cages!

Seeing that she was extremely agitated, Mu Xichen's heart softened. "You're afraid?"

Of being an adulterous couple?

To him, this title was not a big deal.

Li Beinian was annoyed by his attitude. "You're not afraid but I am! Get lost, I'm going home!"

She quickly stood up and bolted out of his house.

Li Beinian was wearing slippers and couldn't run very fast.

However, there was no sign of anyone chasing her from behind.

She sighed in relief, but for some reason, there was an empty feeling in her heart.

When she got home, Old Master Li glanced at her and asked, "Why did you take such a long walk?"

Li Beinian did not stop walking and rushed past him. "I ate too much, so I have to exercise more."

After that, she naturally went upstairs.

The phone in her pocket vibrated. Li Beinian took it out and glanced at it. It was Mu Xichen.

Short-Lived Mu Xichen: [I fought with Dalang in the afternoon. He was badly injured and should not appear for at least a month.]

Seeing this, Li Beinian was startled.

Immediately, she vaguely remembered that she mentioned Pan Jinlian...

Could it be that Wu Dalang was referring to Mu Donglin?

Didn't that make him Xi Menqing?

"Can he be any more shameless?!"

She had never seen anyone so anxious to be an adulterer!
