Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 162
Chapter 162: Where Did You Get This Dress From?
The gasps got louder and Li Xueqing seemed to have become the center of attention.
“Xueqing,” Li Haoran was smiling, extremely contented at the response she received. “Come to Dad.”
Li Xueqing went over obediently with a smile.
A few of them were about to approach her, but seeing that she was Li Haoran’s daughter, they stepped back.
Everyone knew that the Li Family and the Mu Family had a marriage contract.
The older guests raised their glasses for a toast. “So this is your daughter. She’s beautiful!”
“It must be in the genes that Chairman Li’s daughter is so good-looking. When you marry into the Mu Family in a few years, Eldest Young Master Mu will surely be loyal to you!”
“What a pity, she’s so beautiful, but she’s someone else’s.”
…
Most of these statements were for testing waters.
Li Haoran could tell, and he simply laughed alone. “She isn’t the one who has a contract with Donglin, it’s Nian Nian. This is Xueqing, just a year older than Nian Nian. She’s already 21.”
Upon hearing that, a number of them came forward instantly.
Li Xueqing was floating from all the praises for her. This was the first time she was noticed and surrounded by so many people.
At this moment, someone with a unique aura stepped forward.
Everyone looked at Mu Donglin and stopped talking.
Mu Donglin’s posture was upright, his expression serious.
At 1.80m tall, he was looking down at Li Xueqing, who was only 1.60m in height.
Li Xueqing tensed up from the way Mu Donglin was looking at her in front of so many people.
Blushing a little, she tried to maintain her composure. “Brother Mu.”
Li Beinian’s face came to his mind as he looked at her reaction.
She was always calm and composed.
Never anxious or tense in front of him.
Unlike other women…
He had been anticipating how alluring she’d look in this custom-made dress.
But he never would’ve thought that the person stealing the limelight with this dress today wasn’t her. It wasn’t his fiancèe!
His expression stiffened and he pursed his lips sternly.
He asked coldly, “Where did you get this dress from?”
Mu Donglin’s tone had the atmosphere tense up as well.
Li Xueqing was slightly stunned. “From… someone.”
She even paid a huge price for it!
But… why did Mu Donglin look so unhappy!
Li Haoran could tell that too. He was about to speak up when Mu Donglin sneered. “From someone? Ha…”
The people around had no clue what was going on, except that Mu Donglin was unhappy.
And very unhappy at that!
Li Xueqing was thinking about how to explain herself, but Mu Donglin had already turned away.
He was practically merciless as he left her there in shock.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion as they watched him leave.
The liveliness from before was gone, and people were starting to look at Li Haoran oddly.
Li Xueqing stood there, pale and awkward.
