Li Beinian looked away from her sleeve and walked slowly to the door.
She looked through the peephole and was slightly stunned.
“What brings him here?”
When Mu Xichen heard her mumbling this question, he looked towards her and asked, “Who’s that?”
Without replying to him, Li Beinian opened the door.
Mu Xichen’s question was quickly answered.
A middle-aged man in a black suit stood at the door.
His snow-white hair was immaculately combed back and he was dressed in a dignified way.
He smiled and peered at Li Beinian from behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
“Miss Beinian, we meet again.” Will spoke in standard Chinese, but his London accent was particularly dramatic.
Li Beinian was a little surprised. “Mr. Will, what brings you here?”
Will glanced at her and his eyes quickly fell on Mu Xichen.
At this point, Mu Xichen set his coffee cup down on the table and walked over.
Will looked at them and said, “Initially I just wanted to say hello to my new neighbor, but I didn’t expect you to live here. Fate is an amazing thing.”
Li Beinian blinked and immediately thought of the sapphire blue Porsche sports car that she had just spotted earlier.
Could the disabled person who had been helped to get off the car be Nico?
Mu Xichen was wearing a black shirt today, making his straight figure look exceptionally tall and lean.
He walked up silently and stopped behind Li Beinian, his tall figure at once intimidating.
Will was still smiling as he nodded and greeted him. “Hello, Mr. Mu.”
Mu Xichen stood up straight and nodded slightly. “Hello.”
Will held up a box with both hands. “It’s just a gift from Nico to a neighbor. Please accept it.” He paused and added, “All the neighbors nearby have it.”
Li Beinian took the black gift box from him and and immediately after, Will bowed politely and said, “Goodbye.”
Li Beinian was about to invite him instead, but Mu Xichen was quick to say, “Take care.”
Will seemed to have expected this. He smiled and nodded before turning to leave.
Hearing the door close behind him, Will turned back to give a glance, and then slowly walked away.
The villas in this development were huge.
However, the unit they bought was not as big as Miss Beinian’s house.
But for people like them who were staying temporarily, it was adequate.
More importantly, the decor was very comfortable.
Will returned to their new villa. Nico was sitting in the living room.
He was scrolling through Weibo on his phone.
He glanced up when Will entered. “How did it go?”
Will shook his head. “He wasn’t very welcoming towards me.”
Nico had expected this, but he also found it strange. “Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have such an attitude. To the people of Xia Nation, we’re their victims. They ought to be very polite to us.”
Will thought so too. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, “You can’t judge this man using your common sense.”
There was a hint of disappointment in Nico’s eyes and he replied immediately, “That’s not entirely a bad thing. With such a man taking care of her, she should have a good life.”
Will smiled and kept silent.
“We’ll just stay here for now. Get Mel to transfer my work documents here.”
Will nodded. “Yes.”
