Chapter 446: I Can’t Help It When I Look at Her
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.
They knew this more than anyone else.
The group quickly cleaned up after the meal, leaving Gu Mingye to struggle with the dishes alone.
Although Mo Shengyun had said that she’d leave him to handle the washing alone, she put on her apron to help right after the men had cleared the table.
He looked touched as he washed. “I knew my Sheng’er is the best. Come, let me kiss you.”
Mo Shengyun smugly puckered her lips on this cue and raised her chin to give him a peck on the lips... Muacks...
Fan Lei, who had just stepped in intending to help out, now felt like he was playing gooseberry. He slapped down the dishcloth angrily and shouted, “I give up!”
Then, he turned and walked out in a huff. Over at the other side of the house, the group of men was busy finishing up their chores for the day.
They knew that Mu Xichen and Li Beinian had registered their marriage today, so someone had bought a double happiness logo to put up at a prominent part of the house.
Then, some odd jobs here and there had to be done for the new house.
Mu Xichen had confidently left these jobs to his men while he showed Li Beinian around their new residence.
First, they visited the basement.
Li Beinian had always thought that basements were dark and mysterious secret hideouts.
And in reality, many basements were that way.
However, this basement far surpassed her expectations.
Although it was called a basement, it was a light-filled space.
They had started eating at around 2 pm, and it wasn’t 6 pm yet.
The long rays of the setting sun shot through the full-length windows into the room, conferring a sense of stillness and spaciousness to it.
A white leather sofa was arranged around the coffee table, and the bookshelf by the wall was lined full of books.
Looking out through the windows from midway up the set of curved stairs, one could see an expanse of blue. The light of the evening sun danced and glittered like gold as it was reflected off the water surface.
