At that remark, everyone turned to look at Mu Xichen inquiringly and in anticipation.
Mu Xichen remained very calm, however. In response to the meaningful looks he was getting from these men, he turned to Li Beinian.
The girl was initially waiting to see Mu Xichen make a fool of himself. However, when she met his gaze, she immediately felt guilty.
That guilty conscience!
Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she lowered her head to take a sip of fruit juice.
“Damn!” Gu Mingye was the first to shout. “Boss, what do you mean by that!”
“The look in his eyes is saying way too much!”
“No, no, no. It’s impossible. Don’t be fooled by Boss. He’s such a strong man. How could he be taken down by a woman!”
“Ah… it could have been a consensus between them, and then afterwards, hehe…”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
Everyone gave them a look of disapproval.
Li Beinian couldn’t take it anymore and kicked Mu Xichen. “Say something!”
“Uh huh.” Mu Xichen nodded. “You guys are right.”
“Ohhhh…” The men echoed in unison, “I see!”
They laughed and looked at Li Beinian teasingly.
Li Beinian reached out and pinched Mu Xichen on his arm.
Mu Xichen shouted loudly in pretense and gave her hand a yank.
Of course, she was no match for him and fell into his arms.
More annoyed than ever, Li Beinian pounded his chest twice and said angrily, “Are you tired of living! Teasing me in front of so many people!”
Mu Xichen laughed and said softly and helplessly, “Okay, okay, I was wrong. And, they are all wrong.”
“Then what are the facts?” Bai Yuan asked.
Yang Dawu chimed in. “Could it be that you were the one who acted violently under intoxication?”
“Whatever the case, it can’t be Sister-in-law taking the initiative, right? Hahahaha! Boss has always been a closet flirt. It must be him!” Ma Lin said confidently.
Mu Xichen glanced at them and said, “You’re all wrong.”
Li Beinian looked up and waited for him to continue.
Mu Xichen gave the unexpected answer with a serious expression, “I would have acted violently even without alcohol.”
“Oh—”
Li Beinian turned a bright red. Freeing herself from his embrace, she stomped away.
Gu Mingye took the lead and hollered. “Now you’ve made Sister-in-law angry!”
“Boss, hurry up and apologize!”
“Sister-in-law, where are you going!”
Li Beinian replied angrily, “To the toilet!”
Everyone burst out laughing.
Cheng Su observed Li Beinian and Mu Xichen with envy.
At the same time, from the corner of her eye, she noticed Bo Chengcheng looking at Li Beinian as well.
Sensing her gaze, Bo Chengcheng looked over.
At once, she glanced at the time and said, “Don’t drink so much. Go home early and rest. Girls shouldn’t stay up late.”
Especially a decent girl like Cheng Su, the nightlife was not something for her.
Cheng Su, who was a little drunk by now, nodded.
Bai Yuan volunteered heroically, “It’s fine, I’ll send Su Su back.”
“You’ve been drinking yourself. How are you going to send her home?”
“I’ll call a cab!” Bai Yuan said confidently. “I’ve been drinking, but I’m not drunk. I can totally protect Su Su.”
Of course, Bo Chengcheng could tell what Bai Yuan was thinking. She chuckled and said, “In that case, we’ll leave Su Su to you.”
Cheng Su wasn’t totally clueless as well, and could guess what was going on.
However, she was a little embarrassed now. She lowered her head slightly, keeping silent.
