Mu Donglin turned and walked outside quickly.

Lin Kerou had long expected this to happen.

She looked at Mu Donglin’s back, quickly caught up and called, “Brother Donglin...”

–

Li Beinian and Mu Xichen entered the room and sat down.

The waiter’s expression was serious as she handed them a thick book. “This is the menu.”

Then she served them tea.

“Did you enjoy watching the show?” Li Beinian suddenly asked, looking at the waiter with a little warning in her eyes.

The waiter bowed her head slightly and said, “I didn’t seen nor hear anything. No one else will know what happened today.”

Sure enough, it was a high-end restaurant, so even the waiter was sensible.

Li Beinian nodded with satisfaction. She took the hot tea from the waiter and took a sip.

However, Mu Xichen started ordering and opened his mouth to say, “Buddha jumps over the wall.”

Li Beinian’s hands shook and she almost spilled her tea. She growled. “Can you be more polite!”

Mu Xichen pretended not to hear this and continued to order several dishes.

Every dish was a famous and expensive dish!

Li Beinian was about to cry and shouted, “Enough is enough, can you even finish so much food!”

Mu Xichen stopped ordering. He closed the menu and placed it on the table.

Li Beinian’s heart was bleeding.

This meal was probably a million yuan.

This damn...

She only had about two thousand yuan on her, and she had still wanted to appear dignified in front of Li Haoran. It looked like she could only swipe his card!

This blood-sucking bastard!

My foot!

The waiter went out quickly.

Mu Xichen glanced briefly at Li Beinian and asked slowly, “You knew Lin Kerou?”

Li Beinian heard this and her heart sank.

She held up the teacup and covered her lips with a sneer. “I didn’t.”

Mu Xichen’s expression was calm as he sat opposite Li Beinian, and he crossed his slender fingers.

His amber eyes narrowed slightly and he seemed to be considering if what she was saying was true.

Slowly, the corners of his lips curled up.

“You seem to hate her.”

Li Beinian stayed silent, her eyes narrowing.

“Or more like, resent her deeply.”

Mu Xichen’s voice was gentle and held a sort of inexplicable magic, as if he wanted to penetrate her with a few words and hold everything in his hand.

Li Beinian looked up.

However, she wasn’t smiling anymore.

Her expression was cold as frost and sharp as an arrow.

Mu Xichen sat up straight and said with interest, “I guess it’s true.”

“What do you want?”

Li Beinian stared at him and set the cup on the table.

Her expression was cold and displeased.

“You asked me to invite you to dinner and brought me here...” Li Beinian looked at him with suspicion in her eyes. “Aren’t you being too obvious?”

Mu Xichen’s expression remained unchanged, and he stared at her deep with dark eyes. “It was a coincidence.”

“Do you think I will believe it?”

“Really.”

He gave a candid answer, his eyes without a hint of falseness.

Li Beinian looked at him suspiciously and then asked, “So it was also a coincidence that you met me in front of the filming station just now?”

“That wasn’t.”

“Oh... what were you doing?”

“I was there looking for you to eat with me.”

Li Beinian was full of vigilance and her lips twitched. “... It turned out you already planned for me to pay!”

Mu Xichen’s lips seemed to raise slightly and he responded, “Yes.”

Li Beinian almost flipped the table. She shouted, “Can you be more tactful when extorting me?”
