Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 56: Helping Her To The Food For The First Time

Li Beinian shot him a peculiar glance.

It was a long table and Mu Che would obviously take the master seat while Wu Meiya takes the one on his left. Li Beinian was pulled towards the side.

Li Haoran and Fang Zhili were seated on his right.

It seems... to be correct.

It was just a little unexpected.

In her previous lifetime, Mu Donglin would have definitely sat opposite her to keep a distance away.

Wu Meiya asked smilingly, “Donglin, where’s your younger brother?”

“No idea,” Mu Donglin said calmly. He then glanced at the servant and said, “We may begin eating.”

The servant nodded and immediately lifted the lids of the dishes

“Wait for Xichen. He rarely comes home... ”

“We don’t have to. It’s up to him to decide if he wants to eat or not. It’s best if he doesn’t eat, lest he becomes an eyesore,” Mu Che interrupted.

Wu Meiya stared at him and said, “He’s still your son no matter what. It’s rare for him to come home. Why do you have to get so angry?”

“Hmph. I treat him like my son but does he treat me like his father?” Mu Che barked angrily.

It was no secret that Mu Xichen was not on good terms with his family.

However, Li Haoran and Fang Zhili did not expect their relationship to be that strained.

Li Beinian was not surprised at all, for Mu Xichen had angered Mu Che on several occasions.

The servant removed the lids and Li Beinian started helping herself to the food after Mu Che announced that the meal would commence.

However, the table was large and Li Beinian was too lazy to extend her arm to pick up the other dishes. Hence, she had no choice but to eat the dishes that were closer to her.

Li Beinian suddenly sensed that someone was staring at her even though she was unsure if she was hallucinating.

She subconsciously cocked her head towards the side, only to see Mu Donglin’s handsome face.

Mu Donglin turned to hold Li Beinian’s gaze for a while before turning away again.

Wu Meiya had noticed everything. She said in pleasure, “Niannian, don’t just eat one type of dish. Donglin, your arms are longer. Do help Niannian to some of the food.”

Li Beinian was amused.

Mu Donglin detests me to the core. Why would he help me to the food?

Well unless the sun rises from the West.

Li Beinian smiled and said, “It’s alright, Auntie. I have a small stomach, I won’t be able to eat much.”

Fang Zhili smiled silently too.

Even though Li Beinian was not a thief, it was true that she was lowly and uncultured.

During the banquet previously, Mu Donglin had already clearly expressed his disgust. How could he possibly help her to the dishes?

Fang Zhili was not the only one who had thought even Li Haoran thought the same too.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “Niannian is a picky eater, maybe... ”

However, she had to eat her words before she could even finish speaking.

Mu Donglin picked up an exquisite slice of fish and placed it in her plate before retracting his hand and continuing to eat slowly.

Li Beinian paused as if she had just seen a ghost. She then took a glance at Mu Donglin.

Mu Donglin remained calm, seemingly having failed to realize that he had done an absolutely shocking thing.

Mu Donglin picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth with it composedly. He then helped himself to some food with a straight face before stuffing it into his mouth again.

He was graceful and his actions were smooth and he did not seem to be affected.

Li Beinian’s heart wrenched up instantly.

This... was the first time that Mu Donglin had ever helped her to some food.
