It wasn't a surprising response.
Li Beinian wasn't really shocked.
She got up and yawned.
Mu Xichen couldn't help but look at her legs and then move his gaze upwards.
Those legs—straight and slender and fair.
The wounds were a little swollen.
The redness stood out against her fair skin.
He showered for so long in cold water to get rid of the burning sensation down there, and now he was aroused again.
At that moment, he felt a strong urge from deep in his soul. There was a desire to touch her, hold her, to...
"Where am I sleeping tonight?" Li Beinian didn't notice Mu Xichen's odd demeanor. She scanned the surroundings and said, "You've got three rooms here. One's a study, the other is a master bedroom, and there's one other bedroom. I'll take the other bedroom? Do you have bedding products, like extra sheets and linen?"
Li Beinian had taken a walk around the place while Mu Xichen was in the shower.
The study was filled with books. It was simple yet possessed an air of elegance.
Meanwhile, the guest room was rather empty. There wasn't even a mattress on the bedframe.
The only other bedroom was the master bedroom.
Li Beinian didn't enter, so as not to invade his privacy.
Mu Xichen was going mad. Hearing the words "bedding products" got him thinking about passion, tossing and turning, and indulgence...
He felt his body warming up even more and gave a light cough."Your wounds..."
"I've already applied medicine for myself." Li Beinian eyed him with some disdain."How could you just leave to take a shower halfway?"
Even her look of despise was alluring.
Those clear eyes looking at him.
The way she glanced at him was pushing him to the edge of the cliff.
Mu Xichen turned around immediately.
He headed for the master bedroom right away, opened the door, and turned on the lights.
Li Beinian followed him in and saw a huge bed in the middle of the room.
The bedsheets were a dark grey, just the color she would associate with Mu Xichen.
The blanket was nicely and neatly folded.
The room was clean and tidy.
There wasn't much decoration, and it was so simply furnished it looked bare.
As expected, Li Beinian was speechless again.
Mu Xichen got a blanket out from the cabinet."You sleep here, I'll sleep outside."
"Uh..." Li Beinian felt bad."That's not nice, this is your house..."
"I'm used to it." Mu Xichen avoided her gaze and his voice went hoarse."Sleep early. Call me if you need anything."
"Oh..." Li Beinian couldn't help but smile as her heart went warm and fuzzy."Alright, then."
She would call him when she needed something.
She watched Mu Xichen take his leave and then went to close the door.
She then locked it from the inside.
After all, there was another man in the house. Even if Mu Xichen was a gentleman, it was only right for her to be careful.
The soundproofing of the walls was really good. Li Beinian couldn't hear the call coming in outside.
Mu Xichen saw the number and picked it up.
It was Gu Mingye."Boss, I've got good and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
