Such a vague statement brought a flush to Li Beinian’s face.
Remember it for a lifetime?
Remember what for a lifetime?
Was it the “insincere” apology or… something else?
Her heartbeat raced. Li Beinian reached for the bowl and took a sip.
After she ate half of the porridge, the doorbell rang.
Mu Xichen glanced at the door and said, “e in.”
After that, there was a buzzing noise and the door was opened.
Li Beinian was secretly impressed. “So high-tech!”
Even Mu Donglin’s family did not have this technology a few years later!
Mu Xichen did not make a sound as he looked at the door.
A small head emerged. The person had long hair with curly ends and it was dyed a stylish and beautiful light brown.
When she saw Li Beinian, she immediately smiled.
With two paper bags in her hands, she walked in and closed the door. “Hi, cousin and my cousin’s wife.”
Li Beinian was stunned by the way she addressed her and immediately paused to refute. “Don’t shout.”
Mo Shengyun narrowed her eyes and said, “Don’t need to be shy. We know each other well.”
With an empathetic expression on her face, she raised her eyebrow towards Li Beinian delightedly.
“Did you buy it?” Mu Xichen spoke frankly without explaining anything.
Li Beinian frowned and said, “Mu Xichen…”
“Of course not! It’s so early. No stores are open,” explained Mo Shengyun as she opened the paper bag. “I’ve brought over my own clothes. She’s taller and thinner than me, but luckily, I have a few pieces of clothing that are not the right size for me, so I brought them over.”
Speaking enthusiastically, she stuffed the clothes into Li Beinian’s hands. “Try them on.”
“Finish eating first.” Mu Xichen put the paper bag away. “When you’re full, let Shengyun send you back.”
Mo Shengyun was shocked. “I can’t do that, brother. I have to get to work!”
Mu Xichen glanced at her. “It’s not convenient for me.”
“Seriously, is it inconvenient to send your girlfriend home?” Mo Shengyun was very upset. “You’re not human! How can you ignore her after sleeping with her? Be careful or I’ll tell grandpa!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Li Beinian hurriedly corrected her. “I just came to stay over for one night. We don’t have the kind of relationship!”
Mo Shengyun found it hard to believe and widened her eyes as she looked at Mu Xichen.
Mu Xichen concentrated on eating his breakfast and did not respond. Undoubtedly, he was agreeing by his silence.
“Seriously?!” Mo Shengyun couldn’t help but explode in anger. “You’re so useless. You can’t even settle it after bringing her home?”
Mu Xichen was speechless.
Li Beinian’s entire face was red. She stood up, took the paper bag from Mu Xichen, and immediately went to the bathroom.
After hearing the bathroom door close, Mu Xichen looked up and glared fiercely at Mo Shengyun. “Please mind your words.”
Mo Shengyun looked at him disdainfully. “That’s what I’m doing. I thought that you had a premeditated plan for taking her home for the night. In fact, I think that you chickened out and were afraid to sleep with her.”
Mu Xichen was speechless. “I don’t have that kind of relationship with her.”
“e on!” Mo Shengyun seemed to be in disbelief and ridiculed. “Are you restraining yourself?”
Mu Xichen glanced at her and slowly said, “Only slow progress can make a stream of water flow smoothly.”
“Oh…” Mo Shengyun finally understood. “You’re afraid of scaring her and making her run away, right?”
Mo Xichen did not respond and continued eating his breakfast.
Mo Shengyun smiled and lowered her voice. “If you ever decide to take action, I can provide you with a plan.”
