Chapter 728: A Question of Inheritance
Mu Xichen looked serious and did not seem to be joking.
Li Beinian looked intently at him for a long time. Then, feeling somewhat annoyed, she released him and turned around.
Mu Xichen did not react to this. Instead, his gaze fell on Bei Xiaonian’s information again.
Li Beinian quickly walked past him. Seeing that he was still standing at the same spot without moving, she said with annoyance, “You clearly know, why didn’t you tell me?”
Mu Xichen turned away slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing Li Beinian’s angry expression, he feigned innocence and walked up calmly. “Know about what?”
As he spoke, he reached out for her.
Li Beinian turned around and stomped away angrily when she heard his words.
Mu Xichen followed after her. “I made lunch.”
“I’m not eating!”
“Not hungry?”
“I’m hungry!” Li Beinian turned to look at him with obvious dissatisfaction and anger. “But I’m angry, so I’m not eating!”
She was obviously exasperated, but in Mu Xichen’s eyes, she was beautiful nevertheless.
The man couldn’t help but laugh as he walked up to her and said, “Eat your fill first, and I’ll tell you.”
“Tell me what?” Li Beinian slapped his hand away. “You’re trying to fool me again!”
“I’m not.” Mu Xichen wasn’t discouraged. He reached out and held her hand again. “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
“Really?” Li Beinian looked at him suspiciously. “You said it!”
“Uh huh, I said it.” Mu Xichen looked helpless.
Li Beinian immediately ran downstairs as she said, “I’m starving!”
Tang Xiaoge had made light nutritious soups for the time that she was in the hospital.
The ingredients were ample, but Li Beinian was craving for something more flavorful.
She went downstairs and saw that Mu Xichen had placed two large bowls on the table.
The wooden bowl was covered with a lid. When Li Beinian lifted it, the aroma of the food hit her.
Slightly intoxicated, Li Beinian sniffed and went to wash her hands before grabbing a pair of chopsticks to feast.
Mu Xichen placed some onions and coriander on the table. The food was all prepared according to Li Beinian’s preferences.
Li Beinian had been starving and now that she was eating, she ate every last bit down to the spring onion.
Li Beinian finished the bowl of noodles that was as big as her face.
After eating all that, she finished every drop of soup and placed the empty bowl on the table. Then she sat there watching Mu Xichen eat.
Mu Xichen ate slowly. Compared to the way Li Beinian ate like she was famished, he was much more refined.
Except that, in less than a minute, he had finished his food.
Li Beinian looked at him intently and asked, “Have you always known who Nico was?”
Mu Xichen drew out a piece tissue and slowly wiped his mouth before saying, “Isn’t Nico the foreigner you rammed your car into?”
“Haha, you’re still pretending?”
It was obvious to the man that she was obviously displeased. He looked at her and said, “Isn’t it?”
“Yes! But do you know his surname?”
“Rothschild.”
Li Beinian looked at him triumphantly and continued, “Then why didn’t you tell me!”
Mu Xichen threw away the piece of tissue and cleared the table. He looked up at her and said, “So what if I told you? Would you then acknowledge him?”
Li Beinian was stunned and had no answer.
True enough, she had never thought of this.
Acknowledge him?
The only thing that Li Beinian had considered so far was the Rothschild family’s inheritance rights.
She did not want this inheritance.
