Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 437
Chapter 437: Don’t You Lie to Me
Her words were full of grievance, and she couldn’t help muttering under her breath, “Who on earth… proposes this way…”
Bo Chengcheng, who was looking on, started giggling.
When Li Beinian heard the soft laughter, her grievance deepened, and she felt even more embarrassed.
Turning a deep red, she pouted as large drops of tears began to fall from her eyes. The undeniable joy and ironic grievance became a concoction of choking emotions lodged firmly in her throat. “Such an aggressive proposal, I don’t owe you anything!”
Mu Xichen folded the switchblade away. He knitted his eyebrows as he looked at the tears streaming down her face.
Then, he gently wiped them dry and said, “Of course you owe me.”
The woman sobbed and stared at him, her red eyes filled with renewed grievance.
“You won’t be able to repay it all in this lifetime,” the man lifted her chin and said in a dull, warning tone. “If you ever dare to run away again, I’ll cripple you myself.”
Li Beinian drew in a sharp breath and stopped crying at once.
She looked at him with her bloodshot eyes and blinked.
The little gesture melted his heart and soul.
Uncontrollably, he moved closer and lowered his head to seal her lips in a kiss.
A deep and yearning kiss that sucked everything out of her.
However before two seconds were up, he released her and said, “Let’s go.”
As he spoke, he dragged her forcefully towards the building, as though worried that she’d change her mind.
The woman stood firmly on-the-spot and pulled him back. She sniffed and said in a nasal voice, “Hang on.”
Mu Xichen’s expression turned gloomy as he turned to look at her, his eyes blazing.
His expression made her jump a little, but she pursed her lips immediately and said quietly, “We’re taking a wedding photo, and I haven’t put on my makeup…”
Mu Xichen relaxed, and his expression softened, looking a little skeptical at the same time.
He took her face in his hands and inspected it closely, saying, “Very pretty, no need for makeup.”
“No way,” Li Beinian said in a small voice. “I cried for a long time last night, so my eyes are swollen….”
He paused briefly, his icy heart melting even further.
He had been too rough with her last night. She had ended up crying almost every time they did it, and it happened all night.
Indeed, her large and pretty eyes looked a little swollen, as though they had been soaked in hot water.
“A wedding photo is for a lifetime,” Li Beinian twisted his fingers and said with a reddened face. “Let Sister Bo help me with the makeup. Just give me another half an hour.”
He took her hand, staring at her silently for a moment.
It was as though a million stars in the vast and profound universe had come together to produce a modicum of affection, enough to touch her heart.
He caressed her hand and whispered nervously in a serious tone, “Don’t you lie to me.”
She glared at him.
Angrily, she shook his hand off, turned, and got into the back of Bo Chengcheng’s car.
Bo Chengcheng glanced at him meaningfully and sighed softly. “Don’t worry,” she said to the man. “She won’t run away.”
The girl really couldn’t wait to marry him. Both of them were simply being silly.
Defeated, she got into the car and took out the makeup, asking Li Beinian, “Aren’t you glad?”
Li Beinian couldn’t suppress her smile. However, she threw a glance at Mu Xichen standing outside and in feigned nonchalance, saying, “So-so.”
“Rubbish. Stop pretending.” Bo Chengcheng’s expression was full of disdain as she said, “You’re obviously over the moon.”
“That’s not true.” Li Beinian looked away, even though her heart was dripping with so much sweetness that it was like someone upended a jar of honey.
About half an hour later, Mu Xichen finally saw her getting out of the car.
To begin with, Li Beinian had exquisite features. Bo Chengcheng had very skilfully camouflaged her swollen-looking eyes with makeup.
Now, Li Beinian’s face carried a lovely glow and looked exceptionally compelling.
Mu Xichen gazed at her deeply with amazement and undeniable affection in his eyes.
Her glow brightened as she walked up to him slowly. She took his hand and said in a small voice, “We can go now.”
