Chapter 773 - Love Is An Electrifying Feeling

Chapter 773: Love Is An Electrifying Feeling
The people in the room gasped when they heard this question.
How bold!
However, it was also a question that everyone wanted to ask.
Everyone knew that Mu Xichen and Li Beinian were married.
Besides this, everyone knew that Mu Xichen’s elder brother was Li Beinian’s ex.
However, there had to be a story behind all of this.
Less than three months after Li Beinian broke off her engagement with Mu Donglin, news of her marriage spread. It had to be said, that was rather soon.
Many people were curious, but no one dared to ask.
Some fans could not stand for this and shouted, “What has it got to do with you? Nian Nian can marry anyone she likes. She doesn’t rely on marriage to make a living!”
“That’s right. Our Nian Nian doesn’t depend on men to survive. She has the looks and the ability. She can marry whoever she wants, what do you care?”
“Exactly…”
Everyone started to say their piece and cast accusing looks.
When the reporter heard what the people had to say, he looked at Li Beinian and challenged her, “Miss Li, are you afraid to answer?”
Li Beinian looked at the reporter and smiled. “Are you that curious?”
“I don’t think I’m the only one who’s curious. Everyone else is just as curious, I’m sure!” The reporter looked around, trying to garner support from the others.
However, everyone in the crowd exchanged looks without voicing any agreement.
The young reporter started to get a little nervous and quickly looked at his colleague, asking, “Aren’t you curious!”
His colleague hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m indeed a little curious, but I’m more curious about something else.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll ask after Miss Li Beinian gives you an answer. I’m quite sure many people here share my question.”
These words made the people all the more interested.
The Chantal representative in-charge came running up at this point and asked loudly, “Which organization are these reporters from? Who let you guys in? You’re here to cause trouble!”
There was a hint of panic in the reporter’s eyes, but he stood his ground and said, “We’re reporters and interviewing celebrities is our job. Didn’t you ask us to interview them so that we can write stories that people want to read? So why aren’t you letting us interview her now?”
He spoke loudly with a tone of appeal.
The expression on the Chantal representative turned ugly. She called out, “Security, please escort these people out!”
“It’s okay,” Li Beinian interrupted. “It’s just a question. Since you’re all so curious, I’ll answer it.”
Li Beinian swept her gaze around the room.
Everyone around looked calm and quiet, but they were all enthusiastically waiting for Li Beinian’s answer. Some of them even had their phones ready, so that they could be the first to post the shocking exposé.
Everyone was silent and holding their breath.
Bai Yuan and Cheng Su were watching on, furious. Cheng Su clenched her fists and said angrily, “This is too much!”
Bai Yuan, on the other hand, was more direct. He immediately said, “I’m calling Boss.”
Li Beinian smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Mu Donglin and I were engaged as children, under arrangements made by our families.”
“Engaged as children?”
“Damn! In this day and age, there’s actually such a thing as a child marriage?”
“How awesome is that!”
Li Beinian continued, “But I’m not so lucky in life. I was kidnapped by human traffickers at a young age. I only returned home when I was in my teens and at that point had to fulfill the engagement with Eldest Young Master Mu.”
Everyone held their breath. The reporters were excited and their hands trembled as they wrote the news.
That was huge news!
This was the first time Li Beinian had talked about this openly!
Catching this news first-hand was an incredible haul!
Li Beinian read their reaction and naturally understood what this meant. She said unhurriedly, “However, there were some incidents later on. I believe some people will know what I’m talking about. Before the engagement was officially called off, I had already suggested a few times that it shouldn’t proceed. The reason is actually very simple. When he was engaged to me, he was entangled with another woman.”
Entangled with another woman?
Needless to say, this other woman would be the one who was now getting married to Mu Donglin!
The reporter asked again, “So you treated Mr. Mu Xichen as a back-up when you were with Mr. Mu Donglin?”
Everyone in the venue fell silent again when this question was asked.
No one expected this reporter to be so bold!
Just when they thought that Li Beinian would be very embarrassed by this question, she chuckled. “What back-up are you talking about? While it’s true that we met under those circumstances, we were officially together only after the engagement was called off. Since we’d eventually get married anyway, why not get married earlier?”
“Why? Have you fallen in love with him in such a short time?”
They remembered that when asked her why she was marrying Mu Xichen, she had replied: Because of love.
Another tricky question.
Li Beinian raised her eyebrow. “That’s right. Why would one need to take so long to fall in love? Love is a product of phenylethylamine and dopamine.” As she spoke, her smile widened. She raised her hand and showed off the large and glittering diamond ring. “Love is when you feel that electrifying feeling. If you have to spend a long time with someone before you can fall in love and get married, then the nature of love would have changed.”
As she said this, she played with the ring on her finger and smiled. “When love is still love, you should use marriage to preserve it. That’s the smart choice, isn’t it?”
Her words rendered the reporter speechless.
The fans were so excited that their faces glowed. Someone took the lead and applauded. “Well said!”
“Ahhhhh! Goddess! Nian Nian!”
“Li Beinian, Li Beinian, Li Beinian!”
“Li Beinian!”
Everyone started shouting her name.
Cheng Su also cupped her face with her hands and said excitedly, “Sister Nian is too articulate!”
Bai Yuan looked at the fans with a strange expression and said, “Why does it feel like a cult?”
Cheng Su glared at him. “What do you know? Sister Nian has such charm!”
Bai Yuan raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, I don’t understand!”
“I have another question.” Another reporter braced himself and continued, “Regarding the rumors about you being a kept woman, how do you explain it, Miss Li? After all, there’s no smoke without fire. It wasn’t just one or two people who said this. Miss Li Xueqing had also confirmed this rumor previously. I have Miss Li Xueqing’s own testimony here!”
