Chapter 578: Well-nourished by the Man

Chapter 578: Well-nourished by the Man

Li Beinian still had a room in the villa.

Although no one had stayed there for a long time, it was still being cleaned daily.

The servants had already tidied up her room for this trip.

As Li Beinian entered and looked at the familiar yet strange surroundings, she felt an inexplicable mix of emotions.

In her previous life, this villa was her home.

Although she rarely came back, she cherished it with all her heart every time she returned.

Because her father was here.

Even if he didn’t like her, he was her only blood relative in this world, apart from her grandfather.

Even though he had a better daughter who was closer to his heart, even though he had left her no room to retreat.

Nevertheless, Li Haoran was her only pillar in this world.

And in this life…

This was unchanged.

The Chi family was still around and she did not cut off all ties with them.

Mu Xichen was still around, and she wasn’t married to Mu Donglin…

Li Beinian strode in and sat on the bed. The soft mattress was of superior quality.

The wardrobe, tables, chairs, and various furniture pieces were all very stylish and were of renowned brands.

There was a large window in the room and through it, she could see the community garden.

The weather in the early autumn was cool, the grass in the garden was still lush. The sun shone on it, and everything was quiet and peaceful.

It was a good place, but it had nothing to do with her.

Knock!

There was a polite knock on the door.

Li Beinian looked up and saw that it was a servant of the Li Family.

The servant, who was in her early thirties, said politely, “Second Miss, Sir has asked you to put this on.”

She held a box with both hands and handed it over respectfully.

Li Beinian immediately recognized the brand.

She took the box and opened it. It was a white dress with a beige sash.

Refined and elegant, it had a long lace skirt and a wide, slightly off-shoulder collar.

Li Beinian looked at the dress and frowned. “He wants me to wear this?”

The servant nodded. “Sir said that there will be an esteemed guest coming later, and what you’re wearing is too plain. He’d like you to put on some makeup after changing. If you don’t have any makeup, you may borrow from Eldest Miss.”

Esteemed guest?

Li Beinian frowned and asked further, “What sort of esteemed guest?”

The servant lowered her eyes and said respectfully, “I don’t know.”

The servant looked up at Li Beinian. She was wearing a sweater and jeans. It was indeed too casual.

However, her face was rosy and delicate. She had ruby red lips and dark eyebrows. Although bare-faced, her features were like an exquisite sculpture and very picturesque.

If no one had told her, the servant girl wouldn’t have known that Li Beinian didn’t have make-up on.

“Okay.”

Li Haoran was downstairs, chatting and drinking tea with his father.

Old Master Li looked displeased.

Li Haoran obviously knew why Old Master Li was upset. He smiled wryly and said, “Father, have some tea.”

“Hmph!” Old Master Li was furious. “You have no sense of propriety at all. I don’t expect you to be exceptionally good to Nian Nian, but you have to be fair to her. How dare you hit Nian Nian in that situation? You’re really getting worse!”

Li Haoran did not dare to refute him. He served Old Master Li a cup of tea and said, “Xueqing had a bad fall and there’s a huge bruise on her head. I was too angry…”

“Too angry? Didn’t you see that Nian Nian didn’t even touch her?” Old Master Li slammed his walking stick on the ground angrily.

Fang Zhili was displeased to hear this and said, “Dad, you just told Haoran to be fair, and now you’re pushing all the blame on Xueqing. How is this fair?”

As soon as Fang Zhili said this, Li Haoran barked, “Why are you interrupting when we men are talking!?!”

Indignant, Fang Zhili continued, “It’s true. Xueqing was the one who was injured. Why did Dad push all the blame onto her? This is too unfair.”

Old Master Li was furious. “I saw it with my own eyes, and you’re still trying to deny it!”

“Enough!” Li Haoran stopped Fang Zhili. “This is a rare visit from Dad, shut up!”

Fang Zhili looked aggrieved.

Li Haoran relaxed his sullen expression and patted her hand, saying, “There will be an important guest coming soon. Be happier.”

Still looking aggrieved, Fang Zhili lowered her head and pushed his hand away. “Forget it, anything I say wouldn’t go down well. I’ll go to the kitchen and take a look.”

Li Haoran felt guilty, but his father was the one who was at odds with his wife. Hence, he was put on the spot.

This scene infuriated Old Master Li further and he spat, “You’ve lost your senses because of this woman!”

This upset Li Haoran and he retorted, “Dad, I’ve already scolded Zhili. What else do you want?”

Old Master Li was exasperated, but he didn’t know what else to say.

At this point, the servant walked in and informed, “Sir, Old Master, your guest has arrived.”

Li Haoran was overjoyed and immediately stood up to welcome the guest.

Li Beinian gave the dress only a careless glance.

About half an hour later, someone came up to inform her that dinner was ready.

Li Beinian went downstairs and from afar, saw the people in the living room.

Besides Li Haoran and family, there was another person whom she least expected to see.

The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his expression was quiet and aloof.

Sitting on the sofa, his presence was difficult to ignore.

Li Beinian was not surprised to see Mu Donglin.

From the way the servants addressed him as an “esteemed guest” and Li Haoran’s attitude, she could have made this association.

However, Li Beinian was only surprised by his shamelessness.

After what he did to her, he had the cheek to appear before her?

Li Beinian sneered and looked at Mu Donglin as she walked down the stairs.

She walked slowly and kept a calm attitude.

When Mu Donglin saw Li Beinian, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

After having not seen her for some time, she seemed to look different.

She looked more voluptuous and there was a radiant glow to her face.

Her skin was fair with a rosy undertone, she looked in the pink of health.

It seemed that she had been well-nourished by the man.

The moment this thought entered his head, Mu Donglin felt as if his heart was on fire.

He looked at Li Beinian with an unfathomable expression.

Li Haoran was displeased to see how Li Beinian was dressed and said, “Didn’t I send someone to bring you a dress? Why aren’t you wearing it?”

Li Beinian glanced at him and replied, “It’s too big for me.”

Li Haoran paused and subconsciously glanced at her.

The dress belonged to Li Xueqing and hence was sized for Li Xueqing.

Li Haoran realized, upon those words, that his daughter was actually this slim.

Mu Donglin looked at her and said in his usual icy manner, “It’s been a long time.”

“Indeed, it’s been a while.” Li Beinian smiled stiffly. “I heard that you’re getting married. Congratulations.”
