Mu Xichen immediately wrapped his long arms around her waist and held her firmly in his embrace.
From Feng Yiran’s perspective, he took this as a sign that Li Beinian’s legs had gone weak.
As for why this had happened…
Feng Yiran did not dare to think about it, but his breathing became more rapid.
Li Beinian noticed Mu Xichen’s little trick as well. She glared at him and gave him a shove. Immediately, her eyes fell on his hand.
It was their wedding ring.
He was the one who forced her to put it on him.
Since then, Mu Xichen had never taken it off.
On the contrary, she had never worn hers for more than a day.
Li Beinian held his hand and touched the ring on his finger, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Mu Xichen held her hand and stared at her with dark eyes. He whispered, “Let’s go.”
“Beinian,” Feng Yiran said indignantly. “Would you really rather be with him and be a mistress?”
“Mind your own business.” Mu Xichen glanced at him indifferently, then circled his arm around Li Beinian’s waist and slowly walked forward.
Feng Yiran’s eyes were red with anger. He shouted, “I didn’t expect you to be such a person, Leader Mu. I thought you were a gentleman, a man with an indomitable spirit. I didn’t expect you to like doing such nasty, despicable things!”
Li Beinian paused and turned to look at Feng Yiran, whose eyes were bloodshot with anger.
At this point, Feng Yiran was obviously beside himself with fury. Seeing Li Beinian turn around, his eyes reddened even further. “Beinian, do you really like doing this?”
Li Beinian looked at him with a sullen expression and said, “Feng Yiran, be more respectful with your words. Everyone knows whether he’s a gentleman or not. You don’t have to tell me if he’s an upright man. He’s my man and I love him very much. I hope you understand your position.”
Mu Xichen’s heart skipped a beat. He tightened his grip around her waist and stared at her with his deep eyes. He smiled slightly.
“What about you?” Feng Yiran was exasperated. “I always thought that the rumors were just slander by people with ill intentions. In my heart, you’re different from others. But in the end, the pure land in my heart is occupied by a woman who likes to be a mistress and a kept woman. Beinian, I’m too disappointed in you!”
Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes and looked at the angry young man in front of him.
Feng Yiran shuddered as he sensed Mu Xichen’s obvious displeasure.
It was just a faint glance, but Feng Yiran could sense the unbearable hostility in the man’s eyes.
His body stiffened. He straightened up and braced himself nevertheless, and continued, “Beinian, you know very well who I am. I can give you proper status that is open and above-board!”
Li Beinian didn’t know what to say. Just as she was hesitating, the man behind her suddenly replied, “She’s my wife.”
Li Beinian was shocked and instinctively wanted to cover his mouth.
However, Mu Xichen frowned and firmly held her hand down. He then wrapped her in his arms and restrained her.
Mu Xichen’s voice was faint and his eyes were as sharp as an arrow. He stared at Feng Yiran and said unhurriedly, “Our relationship is legal and protected by the law. It’s open and above-board.”
Feng Yiran was stunned. He looked at Li Beinian in reflex and asked, “Is that true?”
Li Beinian looked at him with a serious expression and did not speak.
Such a reaction was without doubt, a silent admission.
