Chapter 785: Will You Be At My Wedding?
May I?
Nico’s speech was laced with a heavy London accent and sounded rather odd.
The elderly among them couldn’t help but laugh and stole a few glances at the man.
However, when they glanced at him, they noticed his strange expression.
Although he was asking if it was alright to stay, his eyes were lit with hope as he looked at Li Beinian with sincere desire.
This told everyone that there was something more to their relationship than met the eye.
Except, even though Mu Xichen was not one who would make a show of his emotions, everyone knew that he was, in a way, a typically possessive man.
At this point, the man did not look displeased at all.
This was a sign that Mu Xichen didn’t mind Nico.
Given Nico’s question, all eyes now fell on Li Beinian.
At once, the girl felt rather embarrassed and said, “Since Granduncle has invited you to stay, you should. There should be a room for you.”
“Yes, of course.” Grandaunt continued, “Then it’s all settled. Aiya, it’s really auspicious to have a foreigner at Eldest Brother’s birthday. It would be great too, if he can stay the night. What do you think, Eldest Brother?”
It was only then that the granduncle remembered to seek Old Master Mo’s agreement.
Old Master Mo nodded and said, “You’re right. Since that’s the case, Mr. Nico, why don’t you stay. Coincidentally, I do have something to discuss with you.”
Nico said with a smile, “In that case, I’ll be more than happy to.”
Mo Shengge smiled. “You speak Chinese well, Mr. Nico. You look so young… May I ask your age?”
“Oh, I think I’m already 41.” Nico smiled and looked at Mo Shengge. “If I had a child, she’d be older than you.”
Mo Shengge was shocked. “No way, I couldn’t tell at all. You look so young!”
“Thank you.” That put Nico in a good mood as evidenced by his broad smile. He gestured, “Will.”
As though it was some sort of instruction, Will slowly moved to draw out a stack of red packets from his bag.
When the people saw this, they were puzzled.
Nico went on to say, “The New Year in Xia Nation is coming soon. It’s a pity that I can’t spend the New Year here, for I need to return to my hometown. So count this as an early celebration with me, is that alright?”
As he spoke, he took the red packets from Will.
Will pushed Nico’s wheelchair towards Li Beinian.
Nico looked at Li Beinian with a gentle expression and said, “Beinian, I wish you a happy new year in advance. This is for you.”
Nico took out the topmost red packet, it was a very thin slip, and he handed it to Li Beinian.
As Nico spoke, he looked at Li Beinian as if afraid that she would reject him. He said very seriously, “I had never given you a red packet in the past. I hope you will accept it.”
Although he said that, he had already forcefully stuffed the thin red slip into Li Beinian’s hand, making it impossible for the girl to reject.
Li Beinian, who was all ready and prepared to reject Nico, eventually smiled in response to his serious and persistent gaze.
After hesitating for a moment, she accepted it and said, “Nico, it’s too early to celebrate the new year.”
After a pause, she continued, “I’m getting married after the New Year. Are you coming to my wedding?”
Nico smiled brightly and nodded. “Of course. Attending your wedding is a must for me.”
He looked at Li Beinian with slightly bloodshot eyes.
However, his smile was radiant, revealing his brilliant white teeth. Anyone could feel his warmth and pure happiness.
