“Thank you, grandpa.”

Mu Xichen thanked him.

He didn’t even call him by his last name and directly called him grandpa.

Li Beinian’s eyes widened and she stared at him.

But Mu Xichen didn’t seem to feel like anything was wrong. He just looked at her, then bowed his head and continued to eat.

There were a lot of dishes, and she had thought that there would be a lot left behind, but with Mu Xichen around, not much waste was generated.

Old Mr. Li had always been a frugal person. He noticed this small detail and had a better impression of Mu Xichen.

However, this didn’t change the fact that he was an uninvited guest.

Mu Xichen also consciously left after eating.

Before leaving, he also said to Aunt Zhuang, “Thank you, Aunt Zhuang. This was the best home-cooked meal I have ever had.”

Aunt Zhuang didn’t expect him to praise her food. She smiled brightly and nodded, saying happily, “If you like it, come often. We are all neighbors, and you are also our young lady’s future uncle, so you can over more often.”

1“Psht!”

Li Beinian was drinking water and spit it out at once when she heard Aunt Zhuang.

Mu Xichen glanced at her and his lips curled up slightly. He said, “Okay, then I’ll go first.”

Li Beinian wanted to cry as she kept her cup away.

This guy was really shameless!

Aunt Zhuang told him to come often, and if this guy were to come in the future, he would surely say in defiance: Your Aunt Zhuang told me to come.

Li Beinian seemed to be able to predict the future!

However, she couldn’t criticize Aunt Zhuang in public for what she said either.

After sending away Mu Xichen, Aunt Zhuang heard the old man’s voice as soon as she entered.

“Nian Nian, come to the study.”

Li Beinian stood up and walked in with the old man.

Old Mr. Li’s temper was considered very good, but his expression was a little dark now.

With a pair of old but sharp eyes, he looked at Li Beinian and said, “You’re Donglin’s fiancée now. Although Mu Xichen saved you, you better keep a little distance from him. You were too reckless today.”

Although Mu Donglin had left after answering the phone, Wu Meiya had really left because of Mu Xichen.

Mu Xichen was at odds with the Mu family and everyone knew that.

Yet she had even invited him to dinner...

Although they didn’t say it, they had both been unhappy and awkward.

Seeing that Li Beinian was silent, Old Mr. Li hummed and said, “When are you having your exams?”

“Soon. It has already been arranged, so I just need to go take it.”

Old Mr. Li nodded. “No matter what, you have to try your best for this exam. Your results have to be good so that people will look up to you.”

After all, it was just a matter of pride.

Everyone knew that Li Beinian was about to marry Mu Donglin, and Fang Zhili had already spread the news about her upcoming college entrance examination.

Maybe people were waiting to laugh at her.

“I understand.”

...

After talking to grandpa for a while, Li Beinian returned to her room.

The window was open and she looked subconsciously over to the opposite side.

Mu Xichen’s window was also open, but he was nowhere to be seen.

She took out her mobile phone and found that there were already two WeChat messages.

[Mu Xichen who died early]: Thank you for lunch.

[Mu Xichen who died early]: Talk to me?

Li Beinian refused mercilessly: Not free!

She sat on her bed and threw her phone aside.

Just less than a minute after sending the message, she heard a knocking sound from the window.
