Chapter 120: Should I Not Come?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Donglin was accustomed to the limelight, but Mu Xichen was not inferior.

If it had been her, she would have also avoided him.

At this moment, a pleasant ringtone rang.

Mu Donglin slowly reached out for his phone in his pocket. He glanced at it, and then hung up.

“Why didn’t you pick up?” Wu Meiya glanced at him.

“It’s not important.” Putting the phone on the table, Mu Donglin glanced up and said, “Let’s eat.”

However, the phone call came again.

Li Beinian glanced over and vaguely saw two words.

Kerou.

Li Beinian raised her eyebrows slightly and said sarcastically, “Are you sure that it’s not important?”

He was uncertain.

Mu Donglin frowned.

If it wasn’t an urgent matter, Lin Kerou probably wouldn’t be so ignorant to call again.

However, Li Beinian’s gaze made him very uncomfortable.

After hesitating, Mu Donglin still picked up his mobile phone. “I’ll go answer it.”

He didn’t walk away and picked up the phone directly at the dinner table.

“Brother Donglin, where are you?”

“At my fiancèe’s home.” Mu Donglin glanced at Li Beinian, his voice calm and undulated.

There was a pause on the other end and then she anxiously said, “My car broke down. I’m on the highway waiting for the car tower to come, but it’s raining outside and I didn’t bring an umbrella. The heater isn’t working either. I’m so cold…”

She was crying and her voice brought grievances, sounding very pitiful.

On a rainy day, her car had broken down on the highway?

Mu Donglin grimaced, frowned deeply, and said, “Wait for me, I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Okay!” Lin Kerou smiled happily. “I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Donglin stood up.

“You’re not eating?”

The girl asked.

Mu Donglin looked at her.

Li Beinian was looking at him, her clear eyes shining brightly, reflecting him clearly.

Mu Donglin hesitated for a moment, but he still turned away and said, “My friend has met with some trouble, I have to go over to solve it.”

“Oh.” Li Beinian responded and asked knowingly, “This friend must be very important. Go, then.”

Mu Donglin stopped and turned to see Mu Xichen’s amused face.

His heart sank and his eyes deepened.

This guy, was he waiting to see him make a joke of himself?

But Lin Kerou was alone in that place and he was worried.

“Mom, you can eat first. I’ll pick you up later.”

Wu Meiya heard this and quickly got up and said, “I’m leaving too. I suddenly remembered that I have to get something from your Aunt Xue’s house. She won’t be home later.”

Old Mr. Li didn’t say anything. He looked at them and said a little awkwardly, “You could leave after eating, what about the whole table of food.”

Hearing this, Mu Donglin glanced at Mu Xichen.

Mu Xichen was eating his food slowly as if he wasn’t affected by all that was happening.

As if he had really just come for dinner.

Mu Donglin stared at him and then said, “Old Mr. Li, I’ll treat you next time. Let’s eat again. I really have an urgent matter to attend to today, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Old Mr. Li was disappointed, but since Mu Donglin had already said so, he could only nod. “Okay.”

After Mu Donglin and Wu Meiya left, Mu Xichen seemed to return to his senses. He asked, “Should I have not come?”

Li Beinian glared at him and said, “What do you think?”

He had already forced them to leave and still could say such a thing!

This guy’s face was… thicker than ever!

Old Mr. Li didn’t know how to respond to this question. He just smiled awkwardly and said, “Eat more. Xiao Zhuang’s culinary skills are good.”

Mu Xichen: He wanted to leave himself, why am I the shameless one?
