Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 453
Chapter 453: You Musn’t Marry Him, There’ll Be No Happiness
One look at Mu Xichen’s expression and Gu Mingye knew that his brown-nosing effort had been a success. He coughed lightly and said in all earnestness, “Please don’t tell me you haven’t thought about this?”
Mo Shengyun gave him a little push and said, “Of course, my big brother knows. You’re so nosy.”
Mu Xichen had always been meticulous in his planning.
How could he not have thought about something this important?
He was silent for a moment and then accepted the gift, handing a red packet to Gu Mingye in return.
Then, he gave Gu Mingye a meaningful look and said, “A hundred push-ups.”
Gu Mingye flipped when he heard this and cried out in anguish, “Didn’t I just do fifty!”
“It’s going to increase if you say more.” After these words, Mu Xichen looked toward Mo Shengyun and said to her, “Sit on his back as he does it.”
The men burst out in ruthless laughter. Gu Mingye looked livid as he hissed. “Biting the hand that feeds you!”
However, he got down obediently, did his warm-up, and started his push-ups with Mo Shengyun on his back.
“5, 6, 7, 8…”
The men shouted along noisily and in unison.
Mu Xichen sat on the sofa with an unfathomable expression on his face. It was hard to know what the man was thinking.
Suddenly, Yang Dawu came and sat next to him. Glancing at the boxes, he welled up with emotions and said, “It hasn’t been easy. Our chief has a woman now. You have to treat the lady well from now on. This marriage hasn’t been easy on us all.”
Amid the background noise of unison counting, Mu Xichen’s gaze fell on him. He said with sincerity, “Thank you all, brothers.”
He didn’t say it loud enough for all to hear, but Yang Dawu was pleasantly surprised.
After a moment, he laughed and replied, “Don’t mention it. We’ve all been together for years now.”
“Besides, you saved our lives,” Yang Dawu said with a serious expression. “It’s been three years in the blink of an eye. We owe you a word of thanks that we’re all living well and happy today.”
Mu Xichen’s gaze softened. He didn’t speak further.
Bai Yuan suddenly turned around and shouted, “Boss! He’s trembling!”
“So soon? How’s he going to cope on his wedding night?”
“Miss Mo, you mustn’t marry him, there’ll be no happiness. Hahahaha!”
…
The group of men created a din, talking lewdly and causing Mo Shengyun to blush with embarrassment, yet she found herself not able to talk back at them.
Sweating profusely as he did the push-ups, Gu Mingye shouted at them, “Who says I bloody can’t? Come on, bastards… Get in line, I’ll take you guys on, one-on-one!”
“Come on, then Who’s afraid!”
“We’re in. Would you like to take us on or would you like us to take you on?”
“Don’t be mean. I’ll even give him a head start!”
Looking on as they bickered, Mu Xichen was transported back to the countless times that they had fought for their lives, side by side.
It was all good.
Really good.
…
In a state of semi-consciousness, Li Beinian felt as though she was being carried in someone’s arms.
And she was completely naked.
She woke up in a fright. Her eyes snapped open. The dark color of the fabric greeted her, the fresh and familiar scent filled her nostrils.
She sighed in relief as she looked up with blurry eyes. Mu Xichen was looking at her, his misbehaving gaze sweeping downwards.
She immediately clutched her chest, turning red in the face.
At the same time, it triggered her memory of the past—the night that they had parted unhappily. She had woken up from her drunken state completely naked…
Her heart skipped a beat. She lifted her gaze and looked at the man, asking, “The time I got drunk at Qing Shui Fu… did you turn back and give me a bath?”
