Mu Xichen just glanced lightly at them.

His expression was indifferent.

Wu Meiya frowned and said, “Why are you staying here all of a sudden?”

Mu Xichen stepped forward, his pace was slow and steady. “Stepmother is really forgetful, the house next door is mine.”

Stepmother...

Li Beinian secretly smacked her lips.

He was obviously trying to start something!

Even if she was really his stepmother, which woman would want to be called stepmother by someone else’s child?

At that moment, Wu Meiya’s expression was very ugly.

“If I remember correctly, you seem to have a better house. You shouldn’t have taken a fancy to this kind of old house.” Mu Donglin’s voice was cold and he looked at Mu Xichen calmly. “Now, what a coincidence that you became my fiancée’s neighbor?”

Be it intentionally or unintentionally, the word ‘fiancée’ was heavily emphasized.

He gazed at Mu Xichen with obvious unfriendliness.

“It’s quiet here.”

His few words seemed to be an explanation after Mu Donglin’s words.

But his expression and attitude didn’t seem to explain at all.

He was outrageously arrogant!

He sat down directly in the empty seat next to Li Beinian, looking natural and seemingly familiar.

Mu Donglin’s expression became uglier, and he looked at Li Beinian with a dark expression. His emotions were unknown as he said coldly, “It seems that your relationship with Xichen is really good.”

Li Beinian was a little awkward.

Good?

No!

Wrong!

Where did it look good!

However, before Li Beinian spoke, Mu Xichen said, “Compared to you, it’s indeed good.”

When Li Beinian heard this, she swallowed her words back and glanced at them silently.

“Ha...” Mu Donglin laughed, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

He looked at Mu Xichen on the opposite side and said, “How could you compare with us? Nian Nian is a girl, she can’t accompany you to practice fighting.”

Li Beinian looked down and lowered her head, but she knew clearly in her heart.

The two of them usually didn’t have much time to meet each other, but it seemed that almost every time they met, they would fight.

She remembered how in her past life, Mu Donglin had often come home with new injuries on his body every day for a period of time.

“That’s not fist training.” Mu Xichen glanced at him lightly. “I’ll just hit you.”

Li Beinian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

But immediately, she closed her mouth again, bowed her head and continued eating.

Mu Donglin’s invisible smile was even more restrained.

The air pressure dropped again without warning.

Aunt Zhuang added chopsticks and felt like the atmosphere wasn’t right.

Why did she feel like... the atmosphere was so tense...

She handed a towel to Mu Xichen and immediately left.

Wu Meiya hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, let’s stop talking. It’s time to eat. Nian Nian, eat more meat tonic to replenish your body.”

Li Beinian had been feeling suffocated. After hearing this, she sighed in relief and quickly responded, “Okay, Aunt.”

“Since you are here, don’t be polite.” Mu Donglin looked at Mu Xichen. “I heard that in order to save your future sister-in-law, even your old injuries have relapsed.”

“Cough, cough!”

Li Beinian choked violently and her face reddened.

Her throat was sore and Li Beinian felt very uncomfortable.

Suddenly she was handed a glass of water.

“Look at you, why don’t you be careful and eat slowly,” Mu Donglin said in a faint, awkward voice, and it even carried a gross sense of affection!

Li Beinian felt her hair stand on end. She turned around and found that Mu Xichen was gently patting her back.

Rather than reach for Mu Donglin’s water glass, he naturally picked up the glass in front of Li Beinian and said, “Drink some water.”
