Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself Chapter 111

Chapter 111 - You Seem to Care a Lot About Me

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Mr. Li was filled with disbelief, and this caused Li Beinian to raise her eyebrows.

“Don’t you know?”

Old Mr. Li shook his head. “We, the Lis, live on the right side and the house on the left side is empty. No one has stayed in there for a long time.”

Li Beinian pursed her lips and said, “I will be leaving for a while first.”

“What for?”

“To collect something from Chief Mu.”

Old Mr. Li was a little worried. “Come back early,” he said.

“Ok. I will be fine.”

She reassured him verbally, but she felt a premonition in her heart.

Could it be…

No, that can’t be.

This guy was too much of a lone wolf. It must have been a coincidence.

Still deep in her thoughts, Li Beinian walked out of her house.

She wore her pajamas because he was just next door and she had no desire to change her clothes.

Once she reached his front porch, she saw a beautiful and lush garden.

Two bluestone lions stood separately on opposite ends of the garden, and the red-lacquered wooden door was opened as if waiting for her arrival.

Li Beinian knocked on the door before walking in.

There was light inside, but it was dimly lit.

Slight movements of slippers were heard from upstairs, causing Li Beinian to look up.

Mu Xichen, wearing a pure grey shirt and beige trousers, looked rather learned and refined.

Seeing that Li Beinian was below the stairs, he quickly made his way down.

Li Beinian glanced at her surroundings and asked, “Do you live alone?”

“Yes.” Mu Xichen faintly acknowledged as he handed her phone to her.

Li Beinian took it and immediately turned it on.

As she scanned his house with a pair of bright eyes, she asked, “When… did you move in? Grandpa told me that this house has been unoccupied for a long time.”

“Well, now someone stays here.” Mu Xichen glanced at her with his dark eyes. “This place is quiet and suitable for self-cultivation.”

Self-cultivation?

At this period of time in his previous life, Mu Xichen was always swamped with work!

But now, he did not have to work anymore?

Li Beinian looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Why are you so free?”

“You seem to care a lot about me,” Mu Xichen said faintly and took a step closer to her. “If you’re so curious about me, would you like to sit down for a cup of tea?”

The distance between them was never far apart. After he closed the gap with one step, Li Beinian could clearly feel his body heat.

This frightened her and she immediately took a step back.

However, in that instant, Mu Xichen grabbed her hand and she could not retreat.

Li Beinian widened her eyes and looked at Mu Xichen’s suddenly enlarged face. Her entire body stiffened.

Looking at his face, she realized that he had a high nose bridge and pursed lips that were thin and sexy.

Her heart pounded wildly.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mu Xichen shifting his focus to something behind her.

Li Beinian turned around. Immediately, she saw a black cat standing behind her legs.

Its body was completely dark and it seemed to be in its adolescence. It stared at her curiously with its round and dark eyes.

Wagging its tail, it quickly walked away with lazy yet elegant movements.

Just like it appeared, it left without a sound.

Li Beinian sighed in relief. However, upon turning back, her gaze collided with a pair of dark and deep eyes.

Her body stiffened. As if by reflex, Li Beinian immediately escaped his grip and pushed him.

Suddenly, she felt that she had overreacted and was a little apologetic. She said, “Since I’ve gotten my phone back, I’ll be leaving now. Thank you!”

“Ok.” Mu Xichen looked at her. “Cook lunch for me tomorrow.”

Li Beinian was taken aback and subconsciously asked, “Why?”

“Don’t you want to thank me? I’m giving you a chance to express your gratitude.”
