Chapter 272: A Loud and Extended Sound
Mu Xichen looked at her quietly as he started the car.
Li Beinian buckled her seatbelt and turned away to look out of the window.
Ever since that incident, she hadn’t seen him in more than a week.
Partly because she was busy, and partly because… she was hiding.
Her bag started vibrating all of a sudden as her cell phone rang.
Li Beinian took out her cell phone. It was Mu Donglin.
He must be looking for her.
She purposely pinched her nose as she picked up. “Hello?”
Mu Donglin furrowed his brows as he heard that strange voice. “Where are you?”
“Me?” Li Beinian glanced at the streets outside. “I’m in the washroom.”
Mu Xichen glanced at her upon hearing this.
He couldn’t help but smile a little.
Li Beinian did not notice it as she pretended to grimace. “Ow, it was too spicy, my stomach isn’t feeling too good. Ow… it’s hurting badly.”
Mu Donglin softened as he heard her. “What’s going on? Was the place unhygienic?”
“I think the food was just too spicy for me, my gut can’t take it too well…” She sounded as if she was in pain, but she smiled throughout. “Mm… I… I can’t do this. How about, you head off to work first?”
If Mu Xichen wasn’t beside her, he would have been taken in by her act as well.
She was smiling as she said it.
On the other end, Mu Donglin’s expression darkened. “No need, I’ll wait for you.”
“But if you do… it might be a long time…” Li Beinian stammered as if she was in pain.
But at this point, a loud sound suddenly was heard coming from around them, a sound of something “plonking”.
It was a loud and extended tone, one that was hard to describe.
“Damn it!”
Li Beinian instinctively turned to look at him.
Mu Xichen had one hand on the steering wheel and the other covering his face as his shoulder shook slightly.
Seeing the cell phone in his hand, Li Beinian understood immediately.
What the heck!
Her face went red as she felt awkwardness surge through her.
She looked at the cell phone and realized that Mu Donglin had hung up.
“Mu Xichen!” Li Beinian yelled in frustration as she hurled the cell phone at him.
Mu Xichen easily evaded it and stopped the car by the side before he started laughing aloud.
“Damn you!” Li Beinian was blushing very badly and tried to kick him. “What’s wrong with you! It’s bad enough that I’m so gross around Mu Donglin. You don’t have to ruin my image this way!”
Who knew that Mu Xichen would be laughing even harder and looking at her as she kicked him.
His eyes were deep as he faced her.
Li Beinian’s heart began pounding more quickly.
“You’ve got to be convincing with your act.” Mu Xichen smiled. “I’m helping you.”
“As if!” Li Beinian’s expression darkened. “Are you helping me like this?”
“Mm…” Mu Xichen seemed to think for a while before he confirmed, “I am.”
Li Beinian was speechless.
