Chapter 328: Scenes from The Plum in the Golden Vase Appeared in Her Mind
Looking at him, Li Beinian was in a dilemma. She gritted her teeth and said, “I think we shouldn’t meet anymore.”
Mu Xichen stopped searching for the medicine box and looked up abruptly. “Why?”
Li Beinian had a heavy heart as she was in a difficult position. “I think it’s not appropriate.”
“Why?”
“It’s just… not appropriate.”
Mu Xichen paused for a moment before giving her a meaningful look.
Li Beinian was a little uncomfortable and said softly, “You’re male and I’m female. You’re also my fiancé’s brother. If we are caught by others… people will think that we have that sort of relationship.”
“What sort of relationship?”
Li Beinian was annoyed by his question and snapped. “You know what sort of relationship I’m talking about!”
Mu Xichen looked at her and quickly went to her side. Slowly, he said, “We can have that sort of relationship.”
His voice was low and enchanting.
He narrowed his eyes as he stared at Li Beinian and seemed to convey a dangerous message.
Li Beinian noticed that he was rather unhappy.
Seeing him approach her, she quickly pushed his shoulder away to prevent him from coming closer.
She was a little worried but had some misgivings. “No. Not that type of relationship.”
Mu Xichen looked at her quietly and slowly said, “Why? Give me a reason.”
Reason?
Li Beinian’s heart sank.
The reason was very simple…
She felt that she was like Pan Jinlian[1] Mu Donglin was Wu Dalang[2] and Mu Xichen was…
Well, he did not really resemble Xi Menqing[3] and he had an awkward relationship with his brother but he was similar to Wu Dalang’s brother.
As a result, he had to suffer a few grievances and be Wu Song[4.Hero in Water Margin].
In the past, Pan Jinlian spent a period of time with Wu Song, but in the end, it was ruined because of the siblings.
If things did not turn out right, she might really suffer the fate of Pan Jinlian and be criticized by people for thousands of years.
It was best to avoid this sort of thing.
Seeing that Li Beinian was evading his gaze and hesitating, Mu Xichen did not think that she was thinking of scenes from The Plum in the Golden Vase.
Reaching out to hold the hand on her shoulder, Mu Xichen moved closer and narrowed his eyes. “Don’t you like me?”
He had never been a romantic.
However, he could sense what Li Beinian felt about him.
However, why?
As they spoke, he had trapped her in a cage using his body and she had no means of escape.
Li Beinian’s neck stiffened and she felt very tense.
She pushed him and said, “Can you stay further away from me?”
“Why?” Mu Xichen stared at her deeply. “You obviously like me.”
She clearly liked him, so why did she reject him multiple times?
Mu Xichen gave her a puzzled look and wanted to get an answer from her.
After hearing his words and considering the situation, Li Beinian realized that he wouldn’t let her go if she didn’t answer him.
Li Beinian pushed even harder, exasperated. “Why are you so childish? What do you mean like or dislike you? I just won’t meet you. Go away. I want to go home!”
However, Mu Xichen refused to let her go. No matter how hard she pushed him, he remained still.
He only frowned and said, “It hurts.”
Li Beinian softened her blows and realized that she had been hitting his injured chest.
However, once she stopped paying attention, her hands were grabbed.
Li Beinian was about to withdraw her hands like a conditioned reflex.
However, he pressed her hands on his chest and said, “I was in a fight this afternoon and suffered several punches here.”
