Chapter 821: The Gathering Before the New Year
Liu Wei’s words stirred some feelings of guilt in Li Beinian.
After sending her off, Li Beinian turned around and headed back into the house.
Mu Xichen was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, leaning back casually.
He did not react on sensing Li Beinian’s return. Instead, he sat back quietly and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Beinian walked over, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Just as she had cleared the gla.s.s used by the guest and poured out the remaining water in it, she felt a pair of arms wrapping around her waist.
She paused and placed the cup back on the table.
Mu Xichen pressed his face against her back, breathing in her faint fragrance through her clothes.
Li Beinian slid onto his lap and said, “You’re home early today.”
New Year was just around the corner and Li Beinian had specially made time to be at home.
She had thought initially that Mu Xichen would not be home so soon, but it was a pleasant surprise.
“I missed you.” Mu Xichen replied with his arms still wrapped around her waist. He kissed the side of her face and said, “I didn’t expect to hear such a surprising conversation coming home.”
For some reason, Li Beinian felt guilty.
The man gently caressed the side of her face and asked, “What were you talking about just then?”
“Nothing much.” Li Beinian pursed her lips. “Why, what did you hear?”
“I heard you talking about your ex.” Mu Xichen spoke softly in his deep voice. “And so, how am I different?”
Li Beinian knew that he had heard everything, but she had no intention of hiding anything from him. She kissed his cheek and said, “You’re different in every way. You’re my husband, they’re nothing.”
“What else?”
“Oh…” Li Beinian snuggled into his arms and said, “Why don’t you make a guess?”
Mu Xichen snorted. “I don’t know.”
“Just make a guess.”
“I have no idea.”
Feeling defeated, Li Beinian got up. “I’ll tell you later then, what do you want for dinner?”
“Let’s eat out.” Mu Xichen leaned back in his chair and seemed to be in a good mood. “Coincidentally, the guys have made plans to meet up, let’s join them for some fun.”
“With Instructor Yang, Ah Ye and the rest?”
“Yes, it’s the last chance this year. After tonight’s gathering, everyone will be heading home for the New Year tomorrow.” Mu Xichen got up and put on his jacket.
“Sure.” Li Beinian took a look at her own outfit and said, “Wait for me, I’ll comb my hair.”
Before Mu Xichen could answer, Li Beinian had dashed into the room like a whirlwind.
However, she didn’t just brush her hair, she also changed her clothes and put on some lipstick.
Just as she was done, a call came in from Bo Chengcheng.
She picked it up.
“Nian Nian, Bai Yuan said that there’s a gathering tonight. Will you be there too?”
“That’s right.” Li Beinian put on her jacket, saying, “It’s almost end of the year. Come with us.”
“Pffft, the guy wants me to invite Cheng Su along. I’m not going, so why don’t you give her a call instead.”
“Cheng Su…” Li Beinian suddenly understood. “Could this guy be interested in Cheng Su?”
“It’s not surprising. Cheng Su’s rather adorable.” Bo Chengcheng chuckled. “Give her a call, then. I won’t be joining you guys.”
“No way. There aren’t many females in the group to begin with. If you don’t come, the gender ratio will be even more skewed. Bai Yuan must have thought of this, that’s why he invited you. I recall you don’t have a busy schedule. Come on and join us.”
