Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 781

Chapter 781: Nico Turned Up For Grandpa’s Birthday (1)

Upon leaving the venue and entering the resting lounge, Li Beinian immediately questioned Mu Xichen. “Since when did you become the CEO of Sheng An? Why didn’t I know about it!”

She glared at him accusingly and fumed with anger. “Damn it, this matter had been troubling me for so long and you didn’t breathe a word. I…”

Mu Xichen looked at Li Beinian’s hostile expression and smiled. “Since when was I not? How could you not know?”

Li Beinian was even angrier now. “I dare you to say that again! I’ve been plagued by these rumors for so long. It’s not like you didn’t know. Everyone knows that Sheng An’s CEO is old, ugly, and impotent. Now you’re telling me that my husband is actually that sugar daddy everyone’s been talking about. I…”

“Hmm?” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow slightly and there was an upward lilt in his tone. He leaned closer to her and whispered, “Old, ugly, and impotent?”

Li Beinian was standing by the table. Now that he was inching closer, she was forced to take a step back.

The man was so close that his breath brushed against her face.

Li Beinian subconsciously looked behind Mu Xichen and pushed him away. “Control yourself. This is not our home. Someone could come in here any time!”

“Mm…” Mu Xichen responded, however he did not budge at all. Then he whispered in her ear, “Since when did I become old, ugly and impotent? Am I old? ”

“No, no you’re not.”

“Ugly?”

“Too handsome!”

“Impotent?” Mu Xichen’s voice was deep and affectionate.

His hot breath tickled her ear, creating a sense of inexplicable provocation.

Li Beinian couldn’t stop herself from blushing and she could feel her body beginning to burn.

She glared at him angrily as she extended her arms to shove him aside. “Go away, I need to get changed!”

“Answer the question.” Mu Xichen refused to move an inch. “I won’t leave till you answer the question.”

Still glaring at him, she turned a bright scarlet and said angrily, “Fine, fine, you’re too virile. Now get lost!”

Mu Xichen chuckled lightly and gave her a quick peck on the lips. “Hurry up then, we’re going back to Ming City.”

“Back to Ming City?” Li Beinian was suddenly nervous. “Is something the matter?”

“It’s Grandpa’s birthday.” He replied faintly in his deep voice. “We’ll stay in our Ming City residence tonight.”

“What? That’s rather sudden. Why didn’t you tell me earlier!” Li Beinian subconsciously grabbed his collar. “I have to prepare a gift for Grandpa. Is it too late to do it now?”

“We have time, after all I’m here to pick you up.” Mu Xichen got up and straightened her dress. “You’d only be nervous if I told you earlier.”

“I…” Li Beinian found herself unable to retort.

Indeed, she would get inexplicably nervous at every mention of Ming City.

This feeling came out of nowhere. She knew that being nervous didn’t help with anything, but still, it was not something she could control.

She quickly changed her clothes and left with Mu Xichen.

It even slipped her mind that she had left Cheng Su and Bai Yuan behind. Eventually, it was Gu Mingye who informed the puzzled pair to call it a day. They returned home, dumbfounded.

Li Beinian spent a very long time in the shops before settling for a pair of longevity jade pieces.

The stone was so translucent that it glowed with an icy fluorescence. About the size of a palm, the bright green color was distinct as it floated on the clear, semi-transparent background. Anyone who knew how to assess it would have said it was good stuff!
