Chapter 238: Your Reaction Is So Big, Are You Afraid I’ll Eat You?

Old Master Li’s words were doubtful.

Li Beinian felt even more panicked.

She turned and met a pair of deep, black eyes.

Mu Xichen’s face was handsome and flawless.

He had perfectly cold and defined features, placed in front of her eyes.

Li Beinian’s eyes widened and she jerked instinctively.

The chair underneath her fell backward at her rough movement.

Caught off guard, Li Beinian fell backward.

“Nian Nian!” Old Master Li shouted in surprise.

Li Beinian shut her eyes tightly, but she felt herself remain steady.

“Your reaction is so big.” A faint husky voice sounded and was even a little flirtatious. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”

An alarm rang in her heart and she widened her eyes.

Glancing at his slightly raised lips, her heart jumped again.

The warmth of the strong and sturdy arms at her waist seeped through her clothes and Li Beinian felt her face grow even hotter.

She straightened herself immediately and pulled the chair away.

She could feel everyone staring at her, and her cheeks were so hot it felt burnt.

She lowered her head and quickly changed her position before saying, “Thank you, Leader Mu. Let’s eat.”

She sat down and took her cup, using it to cover her face before lowering her head silently.

Old Master Li was amused and stared at his granddaughter. “Why are you so careless? Xichen saved you again.”

“How is this counted?” Li Beinian retorted. “He came to our house for food, I didn’t even ask him to pay for it.”

Old Master Li looked at her strangely. “Then he should ask you to pay for saving your life?”

“I…” Li Beinian paused and was speechless.

In a good mood, Mu Xichen wagged his eyebrow and began to eat slowly.

Aunt Jiang looked at Mu Xichen and then at Li Beinian, whose face was still flushed. She smiled silently.

“He’s your life savior, you must respect him and express your gratitude. You should repay him.” Old Master Li looked at her and lectured. “Even if he wasn’t your life savior, you shouldn’t say such things to your neighbor.”

Li Beinian felt stifled and panicked at his words.

Grandpa didn’t know at all!

Last night… he had said such strange words. How could she see him as a neighbor and her life savior?

And she had even had a spring dream…

She lowered her head and felt her cheeks burning. She took a bite of a dumpling and nodded vaguely. “Okay.”

“Xichen, are you heading out today?” Old Master Li smiled and said, “I heard you were choosing a car. Why don’t you bring Nian Nian along?”

Li Beinian almost choked again and stared at Old Master Li in disbelief. “Grandpa?”

“What’s wrong?” Old Master Li frowned and said unhappily, “Xichen saved you so many times, can’t you accompany him to buy a car? Furthermore, you’re a girl and have better taste. Sigh, men have such bad taste at choosing cars.”

“It’s just a car,” Mu Xichen said politely, and then continued, “It should just be functional. My wife should choose a good looking one.”

“No.” Old Master Li didn’t agree and smiled meaningfully. “Your wife must choose a functional one.”
