Chapter 477 - Why Don’t We Give It a Try?

Li Beinian quickly drew her shirt down to cover herself again and hissed a warning at the man. “No!”

Mu Xichen laughed lightly and leaned over to kiss her. Then, he said, “Okay, fine. Let me have a look at your injury.”

She glared at him for a moment, then slowly removed her shirt.

He took a serious look at her shoulder.

There was a bruise. The twinkle in his eyes vanished as anger subtly took over.

He applied the medicine on her lightly and meticulously, rubbing it in with just the right pressure. However, it caused Li Beinian to draw in a sharp breath and wince. “Ouch. Painful.”

Mu Xichen lightened the pressure he was exerting. He poured more ointment and rubbed it into her injury.

By the time he was done, Li Beinian’s arm was numb with pain. Throwing a small tantrum, she placed her hand in his palm and demanded, “My hand’s feeling sore.”

The man smiled and started to massage her hand with a slow pinching motion.

Only, once after all the medicine had been absorbed, he started to get distracted.

His gaze fell onto her body.

Sensing his gaze, she immediately covered herself. Fiercely glaring, she kicked him and said, “Why are you staring!”

He reached out and pulled her towards himself. Pushing her arms away, he bent over and gave her a deep and long kiss before remarking in a loud and irritating voice, “Because you look great.”

Turning red, she placed a hand over the man’s face and straightened her arm. Bashful and angry at the same time, she whispered, “Get lost, you. Grandpa will be here in a bit to ask you to leave.”

He rubbed himself against her twice but was once again shoved aside before he could even fully express himself.

Li Beinian’s words woke the rebel in him. He looked up and said in a muted voice, “Do you think Grandpa would really beat me up if we did it?”

Then, with a wave of his arm, he pushed her down and pinned on the bed, saying, “Why don’t we give it a try?”

She struggled to get up, trying not to make too much noise. She hissed. “Are you insane? Arghhh...”

Her sensitive body began to turn a light shade of pink. Embarrassed and annoyed, she kicked him.

Mu Xichen, however, was adamant that he wasn’t going anywhere else. No matter how she kicked him, he didn’t budge.

Bearing his weight down on her, he took another nibble at her before he looked up and demanded, “Kiss me.”

Li Beinian glanced at the door, then lowered her head to kiss him briefly on his lips. She hurried him. “We’ll do it the next time. It’d not be good if we get caught by Grandpa.”

With a twinkle in his eyes, Mu Xichen got up and tidied her up. He whispered, “When’s the next time?”

“When you’re back from Ming City.” She reached for her shirt and put it on, then stood up and hurriedly ushered him out of the room. “Get out, hurry!”

Mu Xichen helplessly smiled, and a look of blame and bitterness could be seen in his eyes as he whispered, “You little ingrate.”

Li Beinian pushed him along. Suddenly, he turned to say, “The next time we’ll go next door.” He paused, then continued in a hushed tone, “We’ll test how bad the soundproofing is in these old houses.”

She scowled and raised her foot to deliver a kick. “Get out!”

Having said that, she slammed the door shut.

Mu Xichen smiled and turned to make his way downstairs. He realized that Old Master Li was still in the living room.

“Grandpa,” he called out respectfully, “sleep early.”

Old Master Li’s murky and astute eyes looked into his as the elderly man reminded, “I’m leaving her in your hands because I trust you, Xichen. Don’t disappoint me.”
