Chapter 446 - I Can’t Help It When I Look at Her (1/2)
Li Beinian’s heart missed a beat. She didn’t expect to be ambushed by Mu Xichen this way.
A wave of heat rushed to her face, and as she tried to dodge the man, she saw that he had moved away.
“Damn!” Bai Yuan exclaimed with a resentful expression. “I thought you guys were reserved. Who would have thought you’re worse than them when you’re lovey-dovey!”
Mu Xichen looked a little uneasy. Putting on a prim and proper behavior, he attempted to explain, “Pardon me, I can’t help it when I look at her.”
His steely face had an almost undetectable flush on it. However, the look of love blooming in his eyes gave it all away.
Li Beinian turned beet red listening to the conversation. She lowered her head and continued eating in silence.
“Urghhh!” Fan Lei couldn’t take it anymore and begged him. “Boss, please, would you restrain that look on your face!”
“Even during mealtime, we have to put up with your stinking happiness! Are you guys trying to bully us, honest folks! The gods are being so unfair!”
“It’s bad enough to be single, this is too much!”
“You can be sure we’ll deal with you guys after dinner!”
“That’s right.” Yang Dawu clapped. “Isn’t it Boss’ and Sister-in-law’s wedding night tonight? Let’s…” He rubbed his hands gleefully together with a sinister smile as he continued, “… play bridal chamber games!”
“Hahahaha! Bridal chamber games. What shall we play?”
“Whatever is fun, of course. I’m all prepared.” Bai Yuan sniggered. “We’ll finish our meal, and Ah Ye can do the dishes while we play games.”
Gu Mingye was speechless.
…
The atmosphere around the dining table was bustling.
Although the boorish men talked loudly, there was a strong and undeniable sense of brotherhood among them.
Having experienced this camaraderie, it wasn’t hard to understand why, after Mu Xichen’s execution by the firing squad, they had insisted on seeking justice for him.
Mu Xichen wasn’t that sort of man.
