Chapter 752: The Grandest Day of the Year
It could have been her good mood, or perhaps it was because Sister Wu’s culinary skills were truly superb.
Li Beinian ate what must have been the biggest bowl of rice she had eaten for a long time.
After eating, she sat on the sofa and pestered Mu Xichen, asking all sorts of questions.
With no intention of hiding anything from her, the man answered all her questions truthfully.
Li Beinian concluded that this time round, they had not exposed as much of their information as they did in her previous life.
Although they had been operating under cover for a long time, the other party had not let down their guard.
Perhaps after this, things might go more smoothly.
Sure enough, after this matter had passed, the mayor’s smuggling case, which had been hot news in her previous life during this point, did not rear its head at all.
A week later, there were new developments.
The person who was escorted out of the country by Mu Xichen a week ago was back again.
Mu Xichen and Li Beinian were at the old home in Qian Zhou when they heard this piece of news.
Li Beinian had gone home to retrieve the set of jewelry that Chi Dali and Tang Xiaoge made for her, while Mu Xichen played chess with Grandpa.
After receiving the call, Mu Xichen sent Li Beinian back to Tai Chen Prefecture.
Returning to Tai Chen Prefecture after the space of a week, they realized that Nico had almost recovered.
After Mu Xichen left, Li Beinian went to the neighbor’s house.
The villa that Nico lived in wasn’t as big as theirs, but the renovation made the interior seem more spacious and very comfortable.
The cool colors of the northern European style vividly reflected its owner’s personal style.
Nico was pleasantly surprised to see Li Beinian.
Will poured her some coffee. Nico looked at her intently and said, “It’s been a long time since I last saw you, Beinian.”
Previously, she was Miss Beinian. Now, he didn’t even address her so formerly.
Li Beinian noticed this small change and smiled. “Long time no see.”
Will placed the cup of coffee in front of the girl and glanced at Nico before saying, “Nico has been in Xia Nation for some time now. He called you, but you seemed busy and the calls mostly went unanswered. Yesterday, he sent a message to Mr. Mu asking about your recent situation. I heard that the two of you are preparing for your wedding. I wonder when that’s taking place?”
Will wasn’t very fluent in Mandarin and had a strong London accent, but Li Beinian could understand him. She replied, “After the New Year.”
“Oh.” Nico seemed to understand. “I know that this holiday in Xia Nation is the Spring Festival. It’s the grandest day of the year.”
“That’s right.” Li Beinian looked at him with a smile. “This festival marks the end of the old year and ushers in the new one.”
“So, when is this Spring Festival?” Nico asked.
“There’s less than a fortnight to go. After the New Year, it would be another month to our wedding.” Li Beinian looked at Nico. “Mr. Nico, would you be interested in attending my wedding?”
Nico was pleasantly surprised and immediately said, “Of course!”
As soon as he said this, he realized that he had probably seemed too eager. He gave an embarrassed smile and said, “You’re a good girl. And a wedding is a once-in-a lifetime occasion, so it’s an immensely meaningful event. I’ve heard that on this day, the parents of the couple have to hold the hands of the bride and groom. Only then can the ceremony be considered complete, is that right?”
“It seems there’s such a process.”
Nico hesitated, then said, “I heard that you’ve cut off all ties with your father.”
