After she hung up, Li Beinian decided that it would be best to message Mu Xichen and warn him about this.
Mu Xichen ran a property business, it shouldn’t have much to do with the entertainment industry.
He probably wouldn’t even be interested in these little matters.
But Bo Chengcheng was right, safety first.
After thinking for a long time, Li Beinian still could not find a way to relay the message.
She typed it out and deleted it.
Rewrote it and deleted it again.
After a few tries, Li Beinian decided to do away with routine and sent a string of ellipsis dots instead.
Soon after, dinner was served. Li Beinian was starving.
After gobbling down a few mouthfuls of food, her cell phone vibrated.
She picked up the device. Two rows of ellipsis dots appeared on the WeChat page.
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: …
[Ah Chen]: …
Li Beinian replied again: …
[Ah Chen]: …
Mindless little games that Li Beinian actually found to be quite fun.
She couldn’t help but smile as she typed out her reply: …
However, this time around, while Li Beinian was waiting for his reply, an incoming call screen popped up.
Now she was beaming so broadly that the corners of her lips were threatening to touch her eyebrows.
Cheng Su looked at her with a puzzled expression and said to Bai Yuan in a lowered voice, “Don’t you think that Sister Nian is behaving strangely?”
“Eh?” Bai Yuan’s head was lowered as he shoveled food into his mouth. He looked up when he heard these words.
True enough, he saw the Springtime in her smile as Li Beinian picked up her cell phone. At once, he felt violently assaulted.
Meeting Cheng Su’s gaze, Bai Yuan simply said, “Eat, before the food gets cold.”
Cheng Su hesitated, then remarked, “… Is Sister Nian in love?”
Bai Yuan almost spat out the piece of meat that he had just put into his mouth.
What?
Did Cheng Susu not know that their Sister Nian had gotten married to their cunning boss?
Chewing at the piece of meat with great effort, Bai Yuan glanced at Li Beinian, then shifted his gaze to Cheng Su. He decided to keep mum about it and said, “Eat, before the food gets cold.”
Cheng Su was stumped.
Were all military men this inattentive?
Damn it!
There was definitely something not quite right with Sister Nian!
Cheng Su decided to spy on her by himself, pricking his ears to listen to Li Beinian’s conversation.
Seeing this, she thought he was waiting for her. Hence, she said, “Why don’t you start eating first, I have to take a call.”
Mu Xichen, on the other end of the line, asked, “You guys are eating?”
“Uh-huh, we just returned from the audition.” Li Beinian started to boil at the very mention of this and started to complain, which was a rare thing for her to do. She continued, “What rotten luck I had today, I’m telling you…”
In a dramatic fashion, she told him what had happened. Then, she said after stopping for a big gulp of water, “Why would I even get myself entangled with the boss of Sheng An? Word has it that he’s old, ugly, and completely hopeless in bed. Whether it’s in his looks or background, the man pales in comparison to Mu Donglin. And they’re saying that I’m his kept woman? Are they blind! It’s so infuriating!”
“Eh?” Mu Xichen seemed to ponder. “What’s with… the boss of Sheng An? Say that again?”
“Old, ugly, and completely hopeless in bed!” Li Beinian repeated with great resentment. “I’m not blind. And even if I wanted a man, I’d have found myself a young and dashing one. And even if he’s inferior to you, at the very least he’d be better than Mu Donglin by miles!”
Mu Xichen was silent for a moment. Then, he asked, “Have you ever met the boss of Sheng An?”
“Of course not!”
“How would you know then, that he’s old, ugly, and completely hopeless in bed?”
“That’s what everyone says. How would I know if it’s true,” she mumbled. Suddenly, an idea struck her. “Oh, don’t you know him quite well? How old is he? What does he look like?”
