Chapter 476: Poor Soundproofing in the Old House

Hearing the energetic voice of Old Master Li bellowing after them, Li Beinian felt terribly helpless, but at the same time, she found it quite funny.

The next moment, she felt a grip tighten over her arm.

Then, she felt herself falling onto his chest. He spoke in a m.u.f.fled but deep voice, and she could feel the heaving of his chest. His breath was hot against her skin as he whispered into her ear, “After doing the first aid, I really want to do his granddaughter too.”

Li Beinian turned a bright scarlet at the explicit flirtation.

She gave him a light shove and whispered, “Tell that to Grandpa if you have the guts, scoundrel.”

“How am I a scoundrel when all I’m doing is holding my wife and doing my wife?” Mu Xichen lowered his head to kiss her.

She turned her flushed face away and hurried him. “You have to leave once you’re done.”

The man ignored her and took her chin between his fingers, lifting it so that her head tilted back. He then sealed his lips over hers.

He drew her lips in gently and pried her mouth open, deepening the kiss.

Strangely, his actions seemed overly harsh.

Li Beinian raised her arm and placed her hands on his side as she pa.s.sively received his advances.

His kiss continued to deepen as he started to demand more aggressively, tightening his arms around her.

As though he was angry.

She could feel the strong beating of his heart. She raised her tiny fist and pounded it against him as she struggled to catch her breath.

He did not let go of her immediately, but released her gradually, slightly out of breath as he rested his forehead against hers. He said softly in his deep and hoa.r.s.e voice, “I’ll be outstation for a few days.”

Taken by surprise, Li Beinian asked, “Where are you going?”

Only then did she reflect.

It seemed she knew little about his life.

She had only ever seen the man when he was by her side.

What was he like when he wasn’t with her?

And where would he be?

At work, or elsewhere?

She suddenly realized that she knew nothing about Mu Xichen.

He lowered his head and gave her another light kiss, then said, “I’m making a trip to Ming City.”

Ming City.

Apart from Guang City, this was Xia Nation’s other international economic hub.

“Oh,” she replied and asked further, “When are you going?”

“Tomorrow morning.” He released her from his embrace and ran his fingers lightly through her hair. “When I’m back, I’ll take you to Tong State.”

Tong State was the seat of the Mo family.

It was an hour or two by car from Guang City.

Li Beinian cast her gaze down and mumbled in response.

It looked like he had something urgent to attend to.

He didn’t even have the time to take her to Tong State first.

He caressed her face gently and whispered, “I haven’t told my grandfather about us, to pre-empt him.”

He looked inside the shopping bag and said, “I’ll apply the ointment for you.”

She found herself being firmly sat down on the bed. Mu Xichen cleaned his hands with the antiseptic wipes and then reached out to tease her s.h.i.+rt out of the way.

She had specially picked a top that would cover her neck, so the collar was only tiny, making it fidgety to deal with.

Mu Xichen looked at it and suggested, “Let’s remove it. It’ll be easier that way.”

She flushed and warned, “Don’t do anything stupid, this old house’s soundproofing is poor.”

At these words, the man took the opportunity to lean towards her and whispered, “Well, then. Let’s keep our movements minimal?”

“d.a.m.n you.” She shoved him off and continued, “Be careful that Grandpa doesn’t come running up here to beat you to death!”

“If he beats me to death, so be it.” The man refused to be pushed aside. On the contrary, he reached out to grab her s.h.i.+rt and threw it open with a flick of his wrist. He whispered suggestively, “Grandpa will understand.”

As the sense of ambiguity grew, Mu Xichen started to lean in closer and closer.
