Old Master Li's words were doubtful.
Li Beinian felt even more panicked.
She turned and met a pair of deep, black eyes.
Mu Xichen's face was handsome and flawless.
He had perfectly cold and defined features, placed in front of her eyes.
Li Beinian's eyes widened and she jerked instinctively.
The chair underneath her fell backward at her rough movement.
Caught off guard, Li Beinian fell backward.
"Nian Nian!" Old Master Li shouted in surprise.
Li Beinian shut her eyes tightly, but she felt herself remain steady.
"Your reaction is so big." A faint husky voice sounded and was even a little flirtatious. "Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
An alarm rang in her heart and she widened her eyes.
Glancing at his slightly raised lips, her heart jumped again.
The warmth of the strong and sturdy arms at her waist seeped through her clothes and Li Beinian felt her face grow even hotter.
