Chapter 372 - Good Job Putting on a Show (1/2)

The doorbell rang again and Li Beinian felt nervous.

After taking two deep breaths, she reached out and opened the door.

Mu Xichen had always dressed simply. Today, he was wearing a black T-shirt and trousers. He appeared calm and collected when he saw her.

Li Beinian stared at him with mixed feelings for some time before coldly asking, “What’s the matter?”

Mu Xichen calmly responded, “Mu Donglin has already transferred the villa to me.”

“Well…” Li Beinian quickly turned around and said, “Come in and drink some water.”

“No need.”

“Juice or mineral water?”

Mu Xichen pursed his lips and paused for a moment. “Water.”

Hearing this, Li Beinian slightly smiled and quickly walked into the kitchen.

She naturally poured a glass of ice water. When she walked out, she realized that Mu Xichen was already sitting on the sofa.

Her heart seemed to be overwhelmed with complicated emotions. Li Beinian’s started to become nervous as she brought over the glass of water.

However, very quickly, she calmed herself down.

She calmly put the glass down in front of him and then sat on the sofa chair opposite him.

Mu Xichen glanced at her, took a sip of the water, and said lightly, “The villa is meant for you.”

“Well.” Li Beinian leaned back casually on the chair and looked at her neat and clean nails. “You were the one who fought for it, so it should be given to you.”

“You were the one who almost died.” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow and stared at her with his deep and dark eyes. “This is the compensation that you deserve.”

“You saved me. Didn’t you say that we should split it in half?” Li Beinian withdrew her gaze and said flatly. “Besides, you’ve saved me multiple times and I haven’t thanked you properly yet. You deserve half of it.” Pausing, she added, “If you think it’s too little, let me know.”

Mu Xichen did not say anything, but his black eyes seemed to look at her even more deeply.

“Since you don’t plan to have any more contact with me in the future, let’s have a clean break. This is to prevent any conflicts in the future.”
