Chapter 711 - Your Husband Is Hungry
Chapter 711: Your Husband Is Hungry
Li Beinian was quietly taken aback that Mu Xichen’s face felt so icy. She looked at the down jacket on him and tugged at it. “Are you feeling cold?”
Mu Xichen held her hand and shook his head.
Mu Xichen was visibly glad and said with a softened expression, “Your husband is hungry.”
Li Beinian glared at him and whispered, “How shameless can you be?”
Mu Xichen held her hand and smiled slightly, whispering back, “You said it yourself.”
Li Beinian snorted and turned around, realizing that Will was looking at her.
He smiled. “Miss Beinian, aren’t you going to introduce us?”
Only then did Li Beinian remember. She blushed shyly and pulled Mu Xichen into the room. “This is my husband, Mu Xichen.”
Nico’s gaze slowly shifted to Mu Xichen, and he sized him up.
As he did this, Mu Xichen’s gaze fell on him as well.
Immediately, Mu Xichen’s eyes narrowed.
After all, Nico was more than ten years his senior, and had always held a high position. At this time, he noticed Mu Xichen’s strange gaze and smiled. “How do you do, Mr. Mu. I’m Nico.”
Mu Xichen nodded slightly and said indifferently, “How do you do.”
After those few words, he did not continue.
Nico smiled and looked at Mu Xichen. “Mr. Mu, do you know me?”
“No,” Mu Xichen said directly. “Has Mr. Nico been to Xia Nation before?”
“Yes, more than twenty years ago.”
Mu Xichen smiled. “I don’t think I know you then. I’m 26 years old.”
Nico chuckled and said without hiding it, “A little young. Why did you get married so early?”
Tang Xiaoge was surprised to hear this remark.
A little early to be married at 26?
It was indeed a cultural difference!
Mu Xichen smiled. “I met the one I love. It’s only responsible for us to get married.”
As he spoke, he put his arm around Li Beinian’s waist. “Mr. Nico, please rest early. My wife had a concussion yesterday and didn’t rest well today. She needs to go back and rest as well. We won’t keep you up any longer.”
Li Beinian felt his arm tightening around her and she straightened her back.
Nico smiled and nodded, but his eyes quickly shifted back to Li Beinian. “Miss Beinian, what do you think of my suggestion?”
His suggestion?
Li Beinian had forgotten!
Will reminded him, “I hope you can come and chat with Nico when you have time.”
“I’m afraid not.” Before Li Beinian could say anything, Mu Xichen rejected them straightaway. “Perhaps you’re not aware, my wife is a public figure. Any scandals would not be good for her. It would be troublesome if there should be unnecessary misunderstandings.”
He spoke slowly in an expressionless voice, but still, he managed a polite smile. “Goodbye.”
With that, Mu Xichen wrapped his arm around Li Beinian’s waist and strutted out.
Li Beinian felt a little uneasy and a little embarrassed. She tried to struggle to free herself, but her neck hurt so much that she couldn’t turn her head.
After walking out, Li Beinian could hear Tang Xiaoge speaking, “Mr. Nico, have you eaten dinner? When I made dinner for my daughter and son-in-law, I also made some for you and Will. Let me get it for you!”
“Thank you for the trouble.” It was Nico’s voice.
Li Beinian felt a little strange and mumbled, “They’re so particular. Would they really eat Godmother’s cooking?”
