Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 304: It’s a Matter of Time Before the Marriage Is Called Off

“Boss, I’ve got good and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?”

Gu Mingye sounded rather happy.

Mu Xichen quietly said, “The bad one.”

“The bad news is that Mu Donglin already announced that Miss Beinian’s been abducted today. He said you took her away and haven’t brought her back yet.” Gu Mingye paused deliberately before saying, “Now, besides Mu Donglin, the entire Mu and Li families think you’re having an affair with Miss Beinian. What do we do?”

Mu Xichen furrowed his brows.

This was indeed bad news.

He kept quiet for a while and then said, “I was too rash.”

When he turned his cell phone off just now, he had neglected the part about her reputation being at stake…

“Tsk, it’s not that bad. Let me tell you the good news.”

“Okay.”

“Mu Donglin is looking for her now, using all sorts of methods. He even left some trails… seems like Miss Beinian is rather important to him.” Gu Mingye sounded gleeful. “And now he’s already jumped into the trap. He thinks he’s in the lead and is getting smug.”

Mu Xichen wasn’t sure how to respond. “Wait.”

“Wait, for what? Strike first!” Gu Mingye did not understand what he was thinking. “Miss Beinian could take it away from him and also make him less aggressive. It’s all good.”

Gu Mingye had it all planned out already. He just needed Mu Xichen to give him the green light.

But Mu Xichen was quiet.

Gu Mingye wasn’t sure what was going on. “Chief, what are you thinking? Mu Donglin hurt you so badly back then, are you being soft-hearted at this point?”

After a while, Mu Xichen said, “This will damage her reputation.”

“Her” reputation. Gu Mingye finally understood what he was thinking.

“Since it’s a matter of time before the marriage is called off,” Mu Xichen tapped his fingers on the table, “then we’ll let Mu Donglin have it for a while.”

“Damn!” Gu Mingye felt as if he could see Mu Xichen’s dark and dangerous expression before him. He was getting excited. “What are you planning to do?”

“No hurry, bring Nian Nian’s things over first.”

“Aiya,” Gu Mingye said with some contempt. “Why are you calling her Nian Nian too? The whole world’s calling her Nian Nian, you should give her a more creative name. That makes you special!”

Mu Xichen was speechless.

“Look, everyone is addressing Sheng’er as Xun’er. So I address Sheng’er as Sheng’er instead, how unique!”

Mu Xichen said, “… It’s just an address.”

“That’s not the same. If you want to have a special place in her heart, then the way you address her is important!” Gu Mingye sounded serious. “Think about it, what does your Grandpa call you?”

“Ah Chen.”

“What does she call you, then?”

“Mu Xichen.”

Gu Mingye responded, “… In any case, you can’t address her this way. Think of something else yourself.”

Mu Xichen said, “Spending so much time on something so pointless, are you out of your mind?”

Gu Mingye was speechless.

“I’m off.”

…

Mu Xichen put the phone down and lay on the couch with the lights off.

He closed his eyes, but his mind was full of distracting thoughts. He couldn’t sleep even after tossing and turning for over 10 minutes.

He got up and turned the lights on.

Then, he took a pen and paper out and wrote: Li Beinian.

What should he call her…
