Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

He asked this question lightly, but the atmosphere at the table turned cold.

She was clearly having a meal, but Li Beinian felt like she was on a battlefield.

She ate with Mu Xichen twice and bumped into him both times.

Normal people would probably think that they had a relationship beyond that of an uncle and niece.

Mu Donglin was obviously trying to test her attitude.

Seemingly equally curious about Li Beinian’s answer, Mu Xichen’s gaze swept over and gently fell on her face.

Under Mu Xichen’s eyes, Li Beinian’s thoughts that had been floating around finally settled down.

She looked around and said slowly, “Everyone has their own ambitions.”

Mu Donglin did not expect this reply.

He couldn’t help but glance at her twice before chuckling. “Yeah.”

Immediately, he looked at Mu Xichen and said in a humored voice, “We are always so different.”

From birth, they had been destined to be different.

He lived like a prince and received the best education.

Mu Xichen, on the other hand, had been sharpened on grindstone since young.

He called the wind and summoned the rain and everyone around him was powerful and talented.

Mu Xichen, on the other hand, was destined to be below him and could never win over him.

Mu Donglin’s sense of superiority that had existed since childhood became more active at this moment.

Mu Xichen’s expression was still faint and he tapped his fingers gently on the table.

Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said in a low and amused voice, “Yes, at least I’m not a control freak.”

His temperament was restrained and calm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his red lips raised slightly.

He looked so leisurely and complacent.

As if he didn’t take Mu Donglin’s words into consideration at all.

Mu Donglin’s eyes turned colder. He picked up a teacup to cover his sneer.

He was always like this.

He was obviously at a disadvantage, but every time, he would show such an iron-clad look, neither humble nor oppressed.

There was no thrill of victory for him.

It was really damn annoying!

But now, Mu Xichen had lost.

He didn’t necessarily like Li Beinian very much.

However, since Mu Xichen cared about her, he had no reason to let her go!

“No matter what, you have saved your future sister-in-law. You can come and find me anytime you figure things out.” Mu Donglin put down his cup and gestured proudly. “As long as you ask me, I can arrange a comfortable and relaxing job for you in my company.”

“Thank you, but that day won’t come.”

“Don’t be so certain,” Mu Donglin said firmly. “You will come to me.”

Mu Xichen seemed to laugh. “Then you can wait.”

His light words seemed provocative.

Mu Donglin looked at him. “You are still so annoying.”

“Oh, am I?” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly surprised.

Mu Donglin was about to speak when he interrupted. “It’s a shame, I quite like myself.”

Li Beinian’s lips curled and she scolded in her heart: Shameless!

If she was Mu Donglin, she would have jumped up and hit him.

But by all means, Mu Donglin would rather suffocate himself with anger than show it easily.

As expected, when she lifted her eyes, she saw that Mu Donglin’s originally cold face had become even colder.

Satisfied, she suddenly felt like it had been a good idea to call Mu Xichen over.

Mu Donglin was always like this.

She had been married to him for three years in his past life, and as long as Mu Xichen was somewhere around, he would always make her avoid the place.

It turned out that there was a reason.
