Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 500
Chapter 500: I’ll Be Home Right Away
“I said, there’s no need to!”
Li Beinian spoke rather harshly and coldly.
The elevator reached its destination.
The winds of early Autumn were chilly.
As Li Beinian strode out of the elevator, she looked down and realized she was still wearing his jacket.
Her dress had been ripped. Even though she wouldn’t be too indecently exposed without his jacket, it was an embarrassing sight still.
Her eyes flashed for a moment, and eventually, she turned around.
As though making a deliberate effort to keep a distance, he immediately raised his hands and halted.
With an innocent expression and a shrug, he said, “Just let me send you home. It’s hard to get a cab at this hour—it’s late, and you’re not in the best state of mind…”
…
Shi Yishen drove an extremely fancy Maserati.
It was very him, flamboyantly flirtatious.
Li Beinian, who was in the seat behind him, picked up her cell phone and entered a chain of numbers that she knew by heart.
“Where to?” Shi Yishen looked at her through the rearview mirror, feeling helpless and a little hurt.
However, given what had happened, he could hardly blame her.
She thought for a moment and said, “Qing Shui Fu.”
“Qing Shui Fu?” The man was taken by surprise.
Qing Shui Fu was a rather new upper-class development by Shangzhi.
Not many people could afford a property there as it was incredibly expensive.
She lived there?
A starlet with not too many works under her belt could afford to live there?
He raised his brow slightly in amazement but said nothing and started the car.
He took another glance in the rearview mirror and saw that the girl was making a call.
A ringing tone sounded a couple of times, and then the line was picked up. There was some static.
“Are you missing me already?” Mu Xichen spoke slowly and softly in his attractive voice.
Ming City, Shangzhi M&C Building penthouse, Meeting Room.
Only the very top people of the company would ever get to meet with Mr. Mu face-to-face.
But, who would have ever imagined that Mr. Mu would ever speak to anyone so gently?
Although his expression was cool and indifferent, that tenderness in his eyes was strikingly obvious!
The people were stunned and exchanged looks.
The man seemed unaware that this subconscious change in his attitude was causing a great reaction among his staff. He was only focused on the voice at the other end of the line.
Only, there was a strange silence.
At the sound of his voice, Li Beinian, who was considerably calm before, was suddenly overwhelmed by her grievances.
Choking on her emotions, her tears started to flow.
She covered her mouth, trying to stop herself from crying aloud.
However, Mu Xichen knew at once that something was wrong. His heart sank as he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Unable to hold herself back anymore, she cried aloud, “Ah Chen…”
Her voice was aggrieved, and she sobbed uncontrollably.
He was alert at once and asked, “What happened?”
“I…”
She was almost violated.
By Mu Donglin, her ex-fiancé, Mu Xichen’s elder brother!
The skin on her left side that had been sucked and kissed was burning in pain.
Her torn dress was a stark reminder of this cruel fact.
But… no words came, as though something was stuck fast in her throat.
Mu Xichen became anxious. He stood up and said, “I’ll be home right away!”
Seeing what was happening, the senior staff in the meeting room panicked and called out, “Mr. Mu!”
“Mr. Mu, what about these two plots of land?”
“Mr. Mu…”
