Chapter 755: Small Matter
Li Beinian was surprised.
This person was from Nico’s household, hence it was likely that he was buying groceries for their household.
However, Nico didn’t look like someone who would eat leftovers.
Hence, the turtle and celery should be served at the same meal.
Li Beinian narrowed her eyes and made a mental note.
After getting her groceries, as Li Beinian was paying for her items, the man came along to the checkout as well.
Li Beinian paid the bill and quietly left.
Given that they lived in the same area, of course they would be on the same route home.
So that the man would not notice her, Li Beinian deliberately took a longer route. She picked up her phone and logged into WeChat.
Nico’s profile picture was of himself. Interestingly, he was holding two mandarins in that photograph.
He was dressed in a black suit and his smile and pose seemed meticulously measured, making the mandarins in his hand look rather out of place.
Li Beinian clicked into the conversation thread and realized that there were chat records.
It was sent the day before yesterday.
[Nico]: Beinian, my leg has recovered a little and I don’t have many friends in Xia Nation. Would you be able to take me sightseeing?
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: No
[Nico]: [Sad] Is it inconvenient?
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: Yes
[Nico]: Why?
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: Busy
Li Beinian couldn’t help but laugh when she read this.
Every reply was short and concise. Obviously, it was Mu Xichen’s doing.
However, the man did not even breathe a word about it. Hmph!
Li Beinian continued reading.
[Nico]: Ok, contact me when you’re less busy!
There was no reply.
Ten minutes later, Nico sent another message: I’ll be waiting for you.
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: Do not send me any more messages, my husband gets upset.
[Nico]: You will not be misunderstood. I just want to be friends with you.
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: We have to keep a distance from the opposite sex.
[Nico]: [Feeling aggrieved] OK.
Li Beinian suddenly felt rather sorry for Nico. After some thought, she called him on WeChat.
The other party picked up the call very quickly and was obviously very surprised. “Beinian?”
Li Beinian responded, “Mr. Nico, I’m Beinian.”
“Oh, I know.”
“May I ask if it’s convenient for you to go to a quiet and empty room, so that no one overhears our conversation.”
Most surprised to hear this, he immediately said, “Of course. I’ll leave the living room now.”
After about five or six seconds, Nico said, “You may start speaking.”
“Mr. Nico, I saw your staff at the supermarket…”
Li Beinian briefly explained the situation to Nico. He replied, “Oh, thank you very much for your reminder. I will pay special attention to it because this is the first time you’ve shown concern for me. I’m very touched.”
Li Beinian said, “…Informing you is just a small matter. If you really ate it, it wouldn’t be a small matter. Mr. Nico, please don’t misunderstand.”
Nico felt rather disappointed, however he said, “Of course not. I’ve always respected you, and you know, I want to be friends with you. Thank you, Beinian.”
“You’re welcome. I’m hanging up now.”
“Ok.”
Li Beinian hung up and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, there seemed to be a nagging feeling that was still making her uncomfortable.
Li Beinian thought for a moment and typed: Nico, I hope you can live a long life, so you must cherish your life!
[Nico]: Beinian, you’re too kind!
[Nico]: Thank you, I will!
