Chapter 454: The Translucent Dress With Plunging Neckline
Something stirred in Mu Xichen’s eyes when he was asked this question. “You were that drunk but still conscious of what was going on?”
Without a doubt, that was an admission!
Still, Li Beinian was shocked, even if she was prepared for this.
Visibly shaken, she said at once, “That was really you?”
She raised a fist and hit him on the chest, then said angrily, “Stinking scoundrel, you broke up with me, and after that, you returned to take advantage of me. You bastard!”
Mu Xichen held her fist back and inched towards her, saying quietly, “You were the one who asked me to scram.”
“Go to hell!” Her anger rose. “The villain has the guts to complain. Think of all the bad things you did, you deserved to be kicked out!”
“Uh-huh.” Mu Xichen lowered his head, his eyes murky, his hand firmly against her back. “Fortunately, I returned. Otherwise, you’d have spent the night in the bathroom.
Li Beinian flinched at the contact of his hand with her bare skin.
He pulled her closer to him and said quietly, “You had retched all over yourself at the time. You were a messy sight.”
Li Beinian kept silent.
Indeed… she had retched really badly.
Even she was disgusted by her own mess.
“But it felt worse not retching!” She protested, looking up at him defiantly. “Besides, I didn’t ask for you to return. You could have just ignored me!”
“True.”
He inched closer again, lifting her chin with his hand and kissing her lightly.
She immediately drew back, flushed.
She covered her own mouth and tried to push him aside, but he held on tightly.
Being held this close, she could feel the warmth of his skin on her naked body directly.
She looked at him and blinked.
Before she could speak, he continued, “But I couldn’t bear to.
“To leave you alone, lying on the ground and crying. I couldn’t ignore that.” He moved her hand away from her mouth and added, “So, I had no choice but to clean you up.”
“Let me go.” Li Beinian couldn’t stand being stared at this way for another second more. She wriggled. “I’m going to put on my clothes.”
“Are you feeling cold?” He pulled the blanket up higher.
She kicked him and raised her voice. “I don’t have a habit of sleeping naked!”
“Oh…” Mu Xichen said in realization and quickly replied, “You’ll get used to it.”
Li Beinian fumed in silence.
She kicked him away, but suddenly remembered that her clothes had not been unpacked.
Covering herself with the blanket, she demanded, “Where are my clothes?”
“I’ll go get them.” Mu Xichen got up and walked toward the cloakroom.
Shortly after, she saw that he had grabbed something in red fabric and was walking back to her.
She took the red fabric from him and unfolded it. It was a translucent dress with a plunging neckline. Besides the two thin spaghetti straps, nothing else said it was a dress.
Li Beinian turned sullen and threw the dress at him, shouting, “What the hell is this!”
“Pajamas.” He held it up and straightened it. “Don’t you like it?”
“In what ways does it freaking look like pajamas!”
“It’s a wedding gift from Shengyun.” He held the garment against her and said seriously, “It suits you.”
Li Beinian fumed in silence.
She didn’t know what to say, so she wrapped herself up in the blanket like a dumpling and shuffled over to the cloakroom.
She looked through the clothes, finding no pajamas even though there were a few other pieces of casual wear.
She had no choice but to grab and wear one of his t-shirts.
Then, she went to the bathroom. By the time she returned, Mu Xichen was leaning against the bed, waiting for her.
