Chapter 199 - Apologize to Sister-In-Law (1/2)

“Your subordinates are so annoying!” Li Beinian was frustrated. “They kept calling me sister-in-law. I already told them that I wasn’t, but they still continued…”

Her voice was annoyed but got smaller and smaller.

Mu Xichen noticed that her face had gotten redder.

She noticed his gaze and felt even hotter.

Shrinking back, she said fiercely, “What are you looking at, your people bullied me!”

Mu Xichen couldn’t help but smirk. He got up quickly, his voice low and amused. “I’ll go warn them.”

Li Beinian felt even more ashamed and annoyed at this.

She reached out and grabbed him.

Mu Xichen paused.

Her soft palms were somewhat cool.

His heart shuddered slightly.

Mu Xichen turned around and looked at her overly-red cheeks.

“Forget it,” Li Beinian whispered. “I’m leaving tomorrow, anyway. I’ll hide in the tent and not go out.”

“No.” Mu Xichen looked at her and said slowly, “The camp needs to be tidied.”

Then, he held Li Beinian’s hand and released it gently before leaving the tent.

His tall figure was standing upright, blocking the light and casting a long shadow.

Li Beinian looked at his back and felt her heart beating fast.

Her face was getting even redder!

Why did it feel like… she was a child who had just been bullied and had come back to complain to her parents?

After a while, she heard a voice outside.

“Troops, gather!”

It was Gu Mingye’s voice!

Li Beinian’s mind buzzed.

His supposed warning was to gather everyone and then give them another warning?
