Chapter 404 - I See You, Open the Door (1/2)

Li Beinian’s back stiffened, but she quickly walked towards the kitchen and said, “It’s just a dream.”

She took out some water from the refrigerator and poured herself a glass. After taking a sip, she finally came to her senses. “The soundproofing is so good here. How did you hear it?”

Li Beinian turned around and saw Mu Xichen walking towards her.

He was wearing home slippers and walked with a lazy rhythm.

Hearing this, Mu Xichen paused and stared at her. “I had the same thing as you.”

The same thing as her?

He also had a nightmare and was going to get a glass of water?

Li Beinian frowned but did not say anything. She put down her glass and left after she finished her drink.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xichen grabbed her hand.

Li Beinian stopped in her footsteps and met his gaze.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was dimly lit and seemed to be covered by a sheer indigo sheet.

Nevertheless, his eyes were so bright and enticing that people could not ignore them.

Li Beinian was taken aback and asked calmly, “What are you trying to do?”

“What did you dream of?” Mu Xichen asked softly and calmly while using his body to block her from moving.

“Oh, I dreamt that you hit me,” Li Beinian said expressionlessly. “I was scared to death and screamed for you to stop.”

As she spoke, she walked around him and headed towards her room.

Mu Xichen felt his heart wrench. He stretched out his hand, pulled her over, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Can’t you say it?”

“I’ve already said it.” Li Beinian stared at his hand. “Leader Mu, it’s very late. I want to sleep.”

“In my hometown, there’s truly such a saying.” Mu Xichen’s grip on her wrist tightened. “Only my grandpa has called me Ah Chen.”

“Oh, my bad.” Li Beinian shook her hand. “There won’t be a next time.”

The way she undermined the situation was as if an icicle was lodged into his heart.

It pierced into his heart coldly.
