Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: He Had Other Plans?

She was straightforward and left no room for dispute!

This was a bitter pill for Mu Donglin to swallow, and he immediately objected. “No way!”

He blurted out resolutely without thinking.

Mu Donglin was very upset. “Definitely not! Choose something else!”

“We will speak in court, then,” Li Beinian said confidently. “Since when were things so easily given out in this world?”

Mu Donglin took a deep breath. He calmed himself down and said, “Nian Nian, the person I have always liked from the start is you.”

He spoke seriously, trying to appeal to Li Beinian by softening his voice. “We were going to get married from the start. We can’t change this fact. You only got into a conflict with Kerou because you loved me. I loved you, that’s why I still protected you even though I thought you were guilty. Don’t you know that very well?”

As he spoke, he glanced subconsciously at Mu Xichen.

Mu Xichen did not seem to notice what he just said. His eyes were deep and he seemed to raise his eyebrow indifferently.

Mu Donglin’s heart slightly sank, but he quickly continued, “Kerou has been my good friend whom I grew up with. I’ve always seen her as a sister, and now I want to protect her as a brother should. I don’t have any romantic interest in her.”

Li Beinian found it extremely ridiculous. “Mu Donglin, please don’t be so shameless.”

“No matter what, you can’t break the engagement!” Mu Donglin burst out. “Choose something else and I will try my best to satisfy you!”

“No.” Li Beinian sneered. “Either we break the engagement or we will meet in court.”

“Don’t go too far!” Li Meng couldn’t bear it any longer. “She was just joking with you, right? You’re fine and standing here right now. Stop causing a scene!”

“Shut up!” Mu Donglin was no longer tolerant and glared at her. “If you say another word, I will rip your mouth apart!”

Li Meng’s voice trailed off and she took a step back in fear.

However, she still looked at Li Beinian in dissatisfaction.

Mu Donglin looked at Li Beinian again and said, “I heard that Grandpa Li hasn’t been feeling well recently and needs more rest. I have a few villas in my name…”

“The one at Xun Huan Gang.” Mu Xichen spoke slowly. “Did you just get it?”

Li Beinian was startled.

That was Mu Donglin’s most valuable and promising property. It was worth more than a billion yuan!

What was this man thinking?

Wasn’t he eager for her to end their engagement?

Could it be that he had another plan?

Li Beinian was confused.

However, Mu Donglin was distressed. “Mu Xichen, it’s none of your business!”

“Aren’t you letting her choose?” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow and said calmly. “Since compensation is due, it should be done with sincerity.”

Mu Donglin was furious. He gritted his teeth and asked, “What does it have to do with you?”

“No matter what, I was the one who saved her. Don’t you think this life-saving grace deserves to be compensated a little?”

Li Beinian was shocked.

She spun around and saw Mu Xichen’s self-righteous look.

She truly admired him as he was able to commit daylight robbery with such confidence. Li Beinian wished she could applaud him.

Mu Xichen looked at Li Beinian and asked, “What do you think?’

Li Beinian’s expression did not change as she nodded. “You’re right. A life-saving grace should be compensated.”

Mu Donglin gritted his teeth and his facial muscles tensed.

Mu Xichen seemed indifferent as he continued provoking him. “What do you think? You want to protect your childhood friend but can’t give a house to your fiancèe?”
