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.
