Her phone had slidden far from the edge of the bed.
Li Beinian groped all around but to no avail.
She stuck a few objects in, hoping to hook them around the phone, but they only pushed it further in.
Frustrated and furious, Li Beinian impatiently gave the bed a few forceful kicks.
With those few kicks, she managed to move the bed a little.
Annoyed, she garnered all the strength she had and pushed the bed to the side. Then, she saw the cell phone, it was almost at the centre position of the bed.
The call was still connected. Li Beinian heard rustling sounds from the other end of the line, and the mechanical sound of a pager.
Li Beinian asked, “What are you doing?”
After a while, she heard someone speak, “You’re still on the phone. Is this your girlfriend?”
About two seconds later, Mu Xichen’s voice was heard. “I have a small matter to settle. I’ll pick you up later.”
“Small matter? You’re driving at over 100 miles per hour on a road that has a speed limit of 40, is that a small matter?”
It sounded like a speeding car being stopped by the traffic police.
At the same time that Li Beinian sympathized with him, she couldn’t help laughing.
The call was quickly hung up. Li Beinian shifted the bed back into place, but at the same time, she sensed a slight movement behind her.
She looked up. Before her was the room, and behind her, the balcony.
Almost at the same time that she turned around, she saw a tall figure from the corner of her eye.
There was no pre-warning at all!
Li Beinian was shocked. Her entire body tensed up and she jumped back.
Mu Donglin’s expression was darkened as he said, “Let’s talk.”
The girl was scared out of her wits and retreated taking big steps. She turned and ran towards the door, reaching out to unlock it.
Mu Donglin reacted quickly. He took a step forward and firmly yanked her back, covering her mouth with his palm.
Li Beinian was shocked and her chest tightened. An indescribable feeling of disgust made her struggle instinctively.
“Mmm! Mmm… Mmm!”
Mu Donglin then lifted her and pinned her down onto the bed.
“Be quiet.” Mu Donglin warned her. “I only have a few words to say to you. I won’t touch you.”
The man was too strong and her eyes reddened from anxiety. Hearing this, she breathed heavily and looked at him, still in shock.
Her heart was pounding fast.
She glared at him as she heaved heavily with bloodshot eyes.
She looked every bit defensive as she paused and fixed her gaze on him.
Alas, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a figure behind the full-length windows of the balcony.
It was holding a cell phone in its hand and was obviously taking photos!
When Li Beinian realized who it was, her anger fired up like a canon, and she blew her top!
Li Xueqing!
That god-damned Li Xueqing!
Li Beinian wanted to holler at her, but her body was pinned down and she was immobilized.
