Chapter 823: Constantly Accused By The Wife

Li Beinian found it impossible to maintain her serious expression upon hearing those words.
She felt her face burning and glared at him. “Do your subordinates have any idea how indecent you are?”
“How am I indecent?” Mu Xichen pried her hand away. “I feel like I’m constantly wrongfully accused by my wife.”
As he spoke, Mu Xichen took her hand and slid it down his lower abdomen. Then he continued in a quiet and hoarse voice, “How sad is that.”
Li Beinian felt her face turning increasingly hot. She pushed him away forcefully and retorted, “Do what you like. I’m going out, it’s fine by me if you want to stay home.”
“Aren’t you going to comfort me?”
“Comfort my foot!” The exasperated Li Beinian turned to walk off.
Mu Xichen sniggered and followed behind.
The advantage of cold weather was that it could calm people down quickly.
Mu Xichen stood in the freezing wind for some time before he managed to quell his burning desire.
Li Beinian was already standing by the car. She reached into her bag and dug around. After a while, she realized that her car key wasn’t with her.
Just as she turned around to head back into the house for it, a large hand reached out to stop her. “We’ll drive my car.”
“I don’t want to.” Li Beinian dismissed the suggestion immediately. “Your car is too small. If someone were to get drunk and needs to be driven home, my car will be a better choice.”
“There’s no need for that.” Mu Xichen put his arms around her and led her towards his car. “If anyone gets drunk, we’ll get someone else to send him home. We’ll go our own way.”
“Why are you so lacking team spirit!”
“It’s enough if they have it.”
“…”
By the time they arrived, the rest had already turned up.
The gathering provided a festive atmosphere for the bunch of long-time acquaintances and they couldn’t help but jest around noisily.
When they saw Li Beinian and Mu Xichen walking towards them, they immediately called out in unison, “Hello, Boss! Hello, Sister-in-law!”
Mu Xichen glanced at them and asked, “Have you ordered food?”
“Not yet!”
“We were waiting for you!”
“Bai Yuan isn’t here yet.” Gu Mingye smiled. “I heard he went to pick up a girl.”
“This kid! He’s got skills we don’t know about!” Yang Dawu exclaimed.
Ma Lin nodded. “He’s a grown up now, time for him to find a partner.”
“Who’s badmouthing me!” Bai Yuan’s voice was heard over the nattering.
Upon hearing his voice, everyone turned, but their attention fell on someone beyond him.
Standing at barely 1.6 meters, Cheng Su was a petite girl with shoulder length hair. She now wore a pair of black-framed glasses against her tiny face.
She was fair, delicate and barefaced, she looked rather taken aback walking into a room full of men.
Especially when all the men had now turned their attention onto her, making her feel even more nervous.
“Su Su.” Li Beinian waved at Cheng Su.
Almost on the verge of tears, Cheng Su quickly ran towards Li Beinian. “Sister Nian!”
Li Beinian had expected Cheng Su to react this way.
Although not exactly an introvert, Cheng Su was a rather shy and quiet girl.
Naturally, she would feel out of place and very nervous among these strange men.
Although Li Beinian knew that these soldiers only looked a little serious, Cheng Su had no idea.
This was also why she had wanted Bo Chengcheng and Mo Shengyun to be around.
Unfortunately, Mo Shengyun would not come.
When Bai Yuan saw this, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, “Let me introduce everyone. This is my colleague and also our sister-in-law’s assistant. Her name is Cheng Su.”
Cheng Su nodded. “Hi, everyone. I’m Cheng Su.”
