Right after Mu Xichen’s words, Li Beinian fell into silence.
Suddenly, she exploded. “What the hell, why are you so dirty-minded!”
Somehow, Mu Xichen felt excited listening to her angry voice.
At the same time, his cheeks burned red.
“Haha!” Gu Mingye burst in laughter.
Mu Xichen squinted at Gu Mingye, his dagger-like eyes warning him.
Gu Mingye bit his fist to stop laughing. He turned around and hammered the wall, his face red from trying to control his laughter.
Mu Xichen was in a rare good mood, and his deep voice hid a tinge of laughter. “You were the one who came up with the name, how am I the dirty-minded one?”
Li Beinian paused, then erupted again. “I did not think about all those, you pervert!”
“Oh, is it?” Mu Xichen raised his brows. “I thought you wanted to think of me from the cat, or in this case think of my…”
“No I did not, get lost!” Li Beinian ended the call abruptly, not giving him the chance to continue.
Everyone looked at her after her exaggerated reactions.
Tang Xiaoge asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Was it Brother Big Lock?” Chi Hailang asked, “Did he bully you?”
Who is Brother Big Lock?” Chi Dali asked.
Zhong Taiba was alarmed. “Is he your boyfriend?”
“Shut up!” Li Beinian screamed. “He’s an oddball, a pervert, don’t care about him.”
Chi Hailang saw that tension was rising. To cool everyone down, he waved them over. “Come, let’s cut the cake!”
…
Li Beinian had a long day. She went out early in the morning for her makeup photoshoot, in the afternoon she went shopping at the mall, and then celebrated her birthday. Upon reaching home, she showered and lay on her bed.
She had not eaten dinner yet but was already lazing on her bed.
“Meow.”
Small Lock jumped onto the back and sat down by Li Beinian’s face.
Li Beinian stroked her tiny head and immediately recalled what Mu Xichen said in the afternoon.
—I thought you wanted to think of me from the cat, or in this case think of my…
What?
Big Lock?
Mu Xichen’s face appeared in her mind, as well as the scene of that day at the swimming pool, his bulging…
“Oh no!”
Li Beinian felt her face burning with embarrassment.
She pulled over her pillow to cover her face and kicked away her blanket in frustration.
This man… he’s toxic!
Her phone rang and she picked it up. It was… Mu Donglin.
She hesitated and thought for a while, but did not say a word.
She wanted to plan, plan…
“Where are you?”
A cold voice.
It was a familiar voice, but she still wanted to give him a punch!
Li Beinian did not feel like answering him, but still responded, “My Grandpa’s house. Why, what’s the issue?
“I heard that you had a conflict at the mall.”
It was not a question, but a statement.
Li Beinian lay comfortably on her bed and answered, “Seems like news spread fast. So what?”
“Do you know how hurtful your irresponsible words are to a single lady?” Mu Donglin’s voice had a tinge of anger. “Now the entire industry is spreading the rumor that Kerou wants to disrupt our relationship as a mistress. How could you make these baseless allegations?”
“Hmph…” Li Beinian smirked. “By this logic, the previous times she got people to label me as a mistress, a bastard child, those words weren’t hurtful?”
She said it with a calm and collected voice.
“How can you compare it?” Mu Donglin’s deep voice echoed with anger. “These words are nothing to you, but it hurt Kerou deeply.”
