Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Li Meng quickly explained, “Kerou and I also like to stay in the presidential suite when we travel, so I asked about it in the afternoon. However, I found out that the suite had already been reserved for you.”
This reason was airtight.
Li Beinian said, “We haven’t married yet, so of course we are living separately. We can’t sleep together until we get married.”
Getting married and sleeping together with Mu Donglin.
These words echoed in Mu Xichen’s mind relentlessly. He narrowed his eyes and his dark eyes looked even more obscure.
Mu Xichen’s expression did not change. He raised his eyebrow at Mu Donglin meaningfully. “Doesn’t that mean that there’s a spare room?”
Mu Donglin scoffed. “What are you trying to do?”
“Since it’s empty.” Mu Xichen smiled as if he was trying to negotiate. “How about you let me stay in it.”
“Why?”
Mu Xichen sighed. “After retiring for a few months, I’ve been saving money tirelessly for a vacation, but I can only afford a normal room. Times have been hard.”
Li Beinian was secretly amused.
She picked up a teacup to hide her slight laughter and almost rolled her eyes at him.
It was impossible that an officer’s retirement salary was insufficient to even pay for a room.
However, Mu Donglin listened with great interest. He slowly said, “I heard recently that you have been investing. Have you lost everything?”
“Yes, I lost some.” Mu Xichen sighed. “I almost lost my initial investment.”
Mu Donglin did not doubt him at all and asked, “Is that why you’re here to take your mind off things?”
“Yes.”
Mo Shengyun also picked up her teacup and took a sip. She looked away, but a scornful expression could be seen on her face.
“Well, that’s not impossible. The room is truly empty.” Mu Donglin seemed to smile maliciously. “If you apologize to me sincerely and call me a good brother, the room is yours.”
“Apologize?”
“Yes,” Mu Donglin said proudly. “Apologize.”
“Oh.” Mu Xichen looked a little annoyed. “I think I must have hit you too hard. If I knew that you couldn’t block my punches, I would have…”
Li Beinian almost spat out the tea in her mouth and quickly covered her mouth.
The others heard it and looked at them in shock.
Mu Donglin was punched by Mu Xichen?
“Mu Xichen!” Mu Donglin demanded. “I want you to apologize!”
“I’m sorry,” Mu Xichen said with a straight face. “My good brother, please forgive me.”
Li Beinian choked.
Mo Shengyun also choked and coughed out loud.
Li Beinian reached out to pat her back and bit her lip tightly.
That tone and expression couldn’t be any more serious.
However, the words “good brother” seemed to ridicule.
Sure enough, Mu Donglin’s expression was sullen and he looked very displeased.
Mu Donglin initially wanted to see his pathetic state, but he did not expect Mu Xichen to be so willing.
In the end, he felt that he was being punched again.
He breathed heavily in anger as he did not manage to get the revenge he wanted.
After discussing the accommodation issue, Li Beinian went back to their room after dinner.
After some more thought, Mu Donglin decided to let Li Beinian stay in the master bedroom while he stayed in the second bedroom.
The reason was very simple: The master bedroom had a private bathroom and she would not bump into Mu Xichen while using it.
However, Mu Donglin did not expect that after he came out of the shower, he immediately saw Mu Xichen lying on the sofa and looking at him with his hand rested on his head. Smiling, he said, “Good evening, my good brother.”
Mu Donglin erupted in anger and yelled intolerantly, “Get lost!”
