Chapter 533: I’m Not in a Freaking Hurry to Die

“You don’t think 1.82m is short? Sister Nian herself is 1.72m, so that’s only 10 cm taller than her. Way too short.”

Cheng Su indignantly glared at him and argued, “As if you’re that tall!”

“You can’t use me as an example. I’m Sister Nian’s bodyguard.” Bai Yuan put on a formal air. “Our Sister Nian needs a person who’s at least 1.88m, someone who’s academically capable in the business world, with the physical prowess to slay enemies, someone who looks dashing and tough, someone who can assume responsibilities and has aspirations. And better still, he has to dote on his wife.”

When Cheng Su heard this, his eyes almost welled up in tears as he nodded enthusiastically and agreed. “That’s right! That’s right! What you said is excellent. And it would be good if the man is dashingly handsome with well-defined abs and long legs... ahhhhhhhh, my god!”

Bai Yuan quickly said, “Calm down, lady, the man belongs to Sister Nian.”

Cheng Su restrained his own enthusiasm, finally realizing that it wasn’t quite right for him to act this way. He studied Bai Yuan for a moment and, with an odd expression, said, “I hope you weren’t describing yourself?”

At those words, Bai Yuan immediately reached out and pushed the man’s face so that he looked the other direction. He hissed. “I’m not in a freaking hurry to die!”

...

Li Beinian had stood there for no more than ten minutes when a silvery-white Spyker approached from a distance and pulled to a stop.

Although she was waiting near the foot of a bridge located in a rather quiet corner, there was no guarantee that no one would steal a snapshot.

She lowered her head when she saw Mu Xichen’s car approaching.

As the car came to a stop, the passenger door automatically unlocked and opened.

With one swift movement, she got into the seat and sighed in relief. “Man, it’s sweltering. Such a sunny afternoon!”

Mu Xichen smiled subtly as she took off her hat and jacket. Then, he started the car and drove off.

After they had traveled some way, Li Beinian took off her sunglasses and asked, “Where are we headed?”

Mu Xichen did not answer her question, but asked, “I don’t suppose you have more engagements this afternoon?”

“Uh-huh, all done,” Li Beinian replied as she folded her jacket.

“What about the next couple of days?” he asked further.

She had an inkling of what he was after.

She thought for a moment and said, “I have a shampoo ad to shoot tomorrow, following the communications and prep work, the shoot may take about three days.”

“That long?” The man frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and then continued, “In this case, I’ll make a trip to Ming City tomorrow. When I return, I’ll take you to Tong State.”

Tong State...

That was where Mu Xichen’s family lived.

This thought got Li Beinian strangely nervous.

Mu Xichen had mentioned this a few times previously, but it had never really affected her.

But now, it seemed things were a little different between them.

How was it different?

She couldn’t say for sure.

But just thinking of paying a visit to the Mo family made her heart thump.

Perhaps sensing her nervousness, Mu Xichen sounded slightly amused as he said in his deep voice, “Are you afraid?”

“Who’s afraid,” she straightened herself and said calmly, “I just thought it’s a short notice.”

“Don’t be afraid.” Mu Xichen sounded even more amused now, as he continued casually, “It has to happen one way or another. The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet the parents-in-law eventually.”

“You’re the ugly one. I’m too good looking!” Li Beinian countered. But even then, she found her heart rate increasing. She asked, “Who else is there in the Mo family, apart from your grandfather?”

“My grandfather has three children, Mom being the youngest. She has two older brothers.” Mu Xichen continued, “One is called Mo Changyuan and the other, Mo Changsheng.”

“I think I’ve heard.” She pondered for a moment and continued, “It seems both of them hold rather high positions. Apparently, they are involved in the parliament every year?”
