Chapter 818: An Appointment in Bali Island
What was Li Beinian trying to say?
In any case, it was nothing good!
Mu Donglin’s heart skipped a beat. He understood, as he looked at the crying Lin Kerou.
Although he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Mu Donglin could more or less imagine Li Beinian’s expression as she prepared this gift.
She would have been smiling, for sure. Smiling confidently and viciously.
She might even have said: How I look forward to seeing Lin Kerou’s expression when she sees this gift.
Then, smiling radiantly, she would have thrown herself into Mu Xichen’s arms.
At the thought of this, Mu Donglin felt choked up.
He could no longer hear what Lin Kerou was saying in the background as he turned and walked out.
Lin Kerou was complaining when she saw Mu Donglin suddenly turn around. She fell silent abruptly.
Initially, she thought that he was only going out for a short while. Unexpectedly, the man never returned.
This only cause the hatred inside Lin Kerou to grow.
She squeezed her eyes shut. Her indignance now spread within her like roots of an old tree, overwhelming and consuming her, taking her into a boundless hell.
As the New Year approached, Li Beinian became really busy.
This was the life of celebrities. The more popular they were, the busier they got.
And as the end of the year approached, she hardly had the time to breathe.
If Mu Xichen hadn’t ordered Li Beinian to make time for the New Year, Li Beinian would have accepted Liu Wei’s invitation to attend the provincial television station’s New Year live broadcast.
With Mu Xichen pressuring her and she herself wishing to have some time alone with him, she had no choice but to turn Liu Wei down.
Looking disappointed after being rejected, Liu Wei said, “Damn, I thought you’d come. This is such a rare opportunity that you’re choosing to miss! To think that I made a bet with that bastard Jiang Chun. If you came, I’d have won.”
Li Beinian looked apologetic and said pitifully, “Sob, sob… it can’t be helped. People who are married have to visit relatives during the New Year. I’m so envious that you’re single.”
Liu Wei snorted and gave Li Beinian a light poke on her head. “Come on, everyone knows that you and your husband are a loving couple. If you can’t come, you can’t come. Envious of us single folks indeed! Bah!”
“Hahaha!” Li Beinian didn’t seem the least bit guilty. “So what’s the consequence of losing this bet you made with Senior Jiang Chun?”
“If I lose… so be it.” Liu Wei shrugged. “I’ll have to accompany him to Bali for a vacation. Sigh, what’s so fun about Bali? But he said that the hotel has been booked, so I can’t say no.”
When Li Beinian heard this, she smiled ambiguously and said, “Oh, isn’t this a situation. Could Senior Jiang Chun be on the way to becoming our brother-in-law?”
Liu Wei’s usually carefree expression gave way to a look of slight embarrassment as she turned scarlet and mumbled, “Let’s see how he performs.”
“Wow.” Li Beinian laughed and started to look really nosy now. “Just the two of you? How many rooms have you booked?”
“Get lost, don’t be over imaginative. Feng Yiran and Xiao Guan will be there too.”
Feng Yiran…
It had been a long time since she heard his name.
At the mention of Feng Yiran, Liu Wei immediately added, “Did you know that Feng Yiran actually didn’t want to star in Stinging Vine? Later on, the director complained to his father. Heh, I heard that he got a good hiding.”
“He didn’t want to act anymore?” Li Beinian was surprised and then felt somewhat embarrassed afterwards and asked, “Was it because of me?”
After all, Feng Yiran’s pursuit of Li Beinian had caused quite a commotion.
Later on, when Li Beinian appeared with Mu Xichen, it was like a hard slap to his face.
Hence Feng Yiran’s decision to withdraw, in all probability, had something to do with Li Beinian.
