Chapter 404: I See You, Open the Door

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 gla.s.s. 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 gla.s.s of water?

Li Beinian frowned but did not say anything. She put down her gla.s.s 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 hoa.r.s.e 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.

Mu Xichen paused. After seeing the indifference on her face, he slowly let go.

Li Beinian retracted her hand and went back to her room.

Her footsteps were steady, but the moment she closed the door, she felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness.

“Ah Chen, Ah Chen…”

…

Mu Xichen stood at the same spot and stared at Li Beinian’s door for a long time before taking a step forward.

Instead of returning to his room, he picked up his car keys and went downstairs.

…

In the early morning of Ming Kong City, the air was exceptionally fresh.

Jiang Yeqing especially liked this place because it was quiet and comfortable.

Although the rose garden that surrounded his villa had been destroyed by some b.a.s.t.a.r.d, it did not prevent him from liking this place.

There were few properties under his name and few people knew that he lived here.

However, he thought he saw a ghost today because he was woken up abruptly by the doorbell!

Jiang Yeqing was in a deep sleep. In a daze, he was kicked out of bed by a white and thin foot.

“Ouch!” Jiang Yeqing was not wearing any clothes and fell on a belt buckle on the ground which caused him a lot of pain.

The doorbell was still ringing. The woman on the bed threw a pillow at him and impatiently commanded. “Open the door!”

Jiang Yeqing rubbed his b.u.t.t, put on a loose set of pajamas, and suppressed his anger as he walked out.

He glanced at the peephole. When he saw who the visitor was, he was suddenly awake.

It turned out to be Mu Xichen.

Why was he here?

Could it be that he did not manage to settle the Yanzhou situation?
