Chapter 273 - A Familiar Image

She didn’t believe it!

Seeing Li Beinian’s look of anger, Mu Xichen smiled again.

The setting sun poured in through the windows and enveloped him in a golden light.

He looked warm and elegant.

And more mellow than before.

Each time she saw him, he seemed a little milder and less cold.

He appeared to be in a good mood now, as Li Beinian had never seen him laugh so happily before.

He was... so good looking!

But how could he build his happiness upon someone else’s pain!

Li Beinian clenched her teeth but couldn’t find the right words to scold him with.

She raised a fist and threw him a punch.

But Mu Xichen had turned around and easily held her fist in his palm.

Li Beinian wanted to take her hand back but did not move.

She raised her other fist and aimed it at his chin.

But Mu Xichen did not flinch.

He smiled as he kept his eyes fixated on her.

The next moment, they heard a “bam”.

Her hand came into contact with a warm surface at a huge impact.

Her fist was completely enveloped in his hand.

That huge, coarse hand of his.

She wasn’t sure if it was there, but she did feel as if Mu Xichen’s fingers were tickling her hand.

So rough and tingly...

Boom.

She suddenly felt blood rush to her head as she turned red. “Let go!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This guy was trying to take advantage of her!

But Mu Xichen did not release her at all as he slowly said, “You’re about to hit me, I won’t let go.”

“You’re the one in the wrong, shouldn’t you be hit?” Li Beinian felt righteous. “The image I took so long to groom and build... you tore it down in a second. You deserve to be hit!”

“You’ve already kicked me twice.” Mu Xichen looked aggrieved. “I’m obviously helping you.”

“Pfft!”

Li Beinian couldn’t stand his look.

He was obviously in the wrong but feigning innocence!

Li Beinian tried to take her hand back but failed.

It wasn’t moving at all. “Are you letting go or not?”

“I’m not letting go.”

“Then you aren’t driving anymore?”

“I’m not letting go.”

“You can’t park your car here, it’s illegal.”

“So what if it’s illegal?”

What?

Of course that meant demerit points would be issued!

Li Beinian looked at him incredulously. “Did you buy your license or what?”

Mu Xichen smiled. “How did you know?”

Li Beinian was almost speechless at his response. “... Brother, let’s go. I won’t hit you anymore.”

“I’m not your brother, don’t address me like that.”

“Then, Leader Mu, would you please let go?”

“No.”

Li Beinian was enraged. “Then what do you want!”

Mu Xichen looked at her with his deep eyes. “Call me Ah Chen.”

His voice was low and attractively hoarse.

Li Beinian’s heart skipped a beat.

It sounded so intimate, so familiar.

An image flashed in her mind—of a vast field and a man holding her hand, saying, “Back at home, calling someone’s name with an ‘Ah’ in front signifies the greatest form of intimacy and affection.”
