Chapter 574: The Red Lipstick Mark on Mu Xichen’s Collar
Li Beinian paid a huge price for her gloating.
The next day, her body was in a terrible state.
She wanted to ignore Mu Xichen out of spite, but the man had already prepared breakfast and even given her a massage with ointment. Li Beinian couldn’t help that her anger soon vanished.
Her heart softened when she thought of her grandfather’s various objections and the fact that it would be some time before they could be together.
After breakfast, Mu Xichen took her in his arms again, nibbling and groping her before he would send her off.
He drove the military-green Hummer.
The Hummer cruised through the city steadily and finally reached her destination of Qian Zhou.
The car pulled to a stop and Li Beinian unbuckled her seat belt. Turning to him, she reminded him, “Remember to have your meals on time.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Don’t keep yourself too busy. Remember to go home and rest.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I’m off, then.”
This time round, Mu Xichen didn’t respond with an “uh-huh”. Instead, he turned sideways to look at her, leaned over, and whispered,” Kiss me.”
Li Beinian blinked and subconsciously looked around.
Then, she leaned forward and kissed his face.
After this, she reached out to open the car door. However, Mu Xichen pulled her back into the vehicle.
The man held her by her nape and lowered his head to suck on her full, ruby lips.
He kissed her deeply and clung on to her, running his tongue over her lips before relaxing his hold on her.
But just as she thought he was letting go of her, the man bit her again and whispered, “Remember to miss me.”
“Okay! Fine!” Li Beinian’s cheeks were flushed. She wiped her mouth disdainfully. When she saw the red lipstick smudges on her hand, there was a glint in her eyes. She asked the man, “Are you going to the office?”
“Uh-huh.”
Mu Xichen had been neglecting quite a few things at work, having kept her company the last couple of days.
Although Gu Mingye was around, they were not of the same status.
A radiant smile appeared on her face when she heard his confirmation. “Come over here.”
Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow with interest. However, when he leaned over, she lunged forward and planted a kiss on the collar of his white shirt.
Although the lipstick mark on the snow-white collar of his shirt was a light red...
It was particularly striking against the white background.
Looking satisfied, she said, “Alright, you may go now.”
Mu Xichen’s lips turned upwards in a smile as he watched her get off the car and walk towards the Li Residence. Then he drove off to the office.
Along the way, he looked into the rear view mirror repeatedly.
When he arrived at the office building, he took the personal elevator to the penthouse. The secretarial staff looked towards him and called out their greetings in unison, “Mr. Mu.”
On any given day, Mu Xichen would have walked by expressionlessly.
But today, for some strange reason, he actually nodded in acknowledgment!
They couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Immediately, they could spot the give-away on Mr. Mu.
Everyone was astonished.
They waited till Mu Xichen left, then gathered in the pantry to gossip.
“Did you see it?”
“I didn’t think there’d come a day when a serious man like Mr. Mu would turn up at work with lipstick marks on his shirt.”
“I’ve only ever seen Manager Gu by his side and thought that he... Tsk tsk, indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“Whoever said that a lipstick stain must be left by a woman?”
At these words, everyone’s expression turned subtle.
A secretary who was passing by heard this and said indignantly, “You guys look at everything through gay-tinted glasses! Maybe Mr. Mu made the mark himself?”
These words caused everyone to imagine a very bizarre scene of the icy man applying lipstick and kissing his own shirt collar.
With a shudder, the group dispersed and went back to their work.
