Chapter 484: This Man… Was Truly Flirtatious
Those words were ugly.
When the people heard this, many of them turned around to stare.
Only, their expressions were varied.
Some looked on with much interest, others were cold bystanders, and there were those gloating.
The extremely unpleasant words made it only too obvious that he was out to antagonize her.
What was more, doing this to his ex in the presence of all these people.
Even the veteran old foxes among the crowd couldn’t be sure that they’d be able to keep their composure and smile if this same situation happened to them.
All of them waited for Li Beinian’s response.
Unexpectedly, she maintained her smile as she raised her brow slightly and replied complacently in her crystal clear girlish voice, as though she was joking with an old friend, “If I manage to come across one whom I like, there’s no harm just giving it a go, as long as they’re not like you… I wouldn’t want things to end up being unpleasant.”
There was hidden meaning in her words.
There was sniggering among the crowd. The men exchanged meaningful glances and then more laughter could be heard.
“Unpleasant?”
“Ending up with an unpleasant situation in bed is quite a significant matter, indeed.”
“Looking at the way things are, it appears that Eldest Young Master Mu was dumped. I really couldn’t have guessed…”
“So the man’s ego was bruised and now he’s looking for trouble?”
…
Mu Donglin’s expression darkened at once.
Li Beinian continued unhurriedly, not in the least affected by the laughter, “But we’re all consenting adults, there’s no need to feel too pressured about it.”
Then, she shifted her gaze to Lin Kerou and said, “Miss Lin is the lucky one, he’s wholehearted towards you. So, I don’t suppose you mind such things, do you?”
“Li Beinian!” Mu Donglin scowled and clenched his jaws. He reached out to grab her, barking. “Who the hell are you calling impotent!”
Li Beinian nimbly skipped out of the way with a look of great surprise. She immediately glanced at him with subtle amusement and replied, “I didn’t say anything of that sort, why did you…”
She spoke with an air of complete innocence.
Mu Donglin turned even gloomier now. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by applause.
A tall and broad figure walked up. It was a man in an extremely eye-catching red suit.
He had a pair of thick eyebrows that seemed to fly upwards into his temple. They were now slightly raised. His pair of plump lips was topped by a thin mustache, and his eyes were now narrowed in laughter.
The man looked to be around 30, his grin making him look like an extremely unrestrained and amorous individual. However, his peach blossom eyes did confer him a charming air.
Li Beinian found him somewhat familiar. However, she couldn’t quite place him in her memory.
He walked up to them. He was about 1.85m and, admittedly, had a more commanding presence than Mu Donglin when he drew himself up to his full height. “Eldest Young Master Mu, we should all keep things amicable. What’s the point of getting into a disagreement with a woman?”
His voice was deep like the echo of a tower bell.
It wasn’t as attractive as Mu Xichen’s voice. It was more like a voice that had passed through the baptism of time, matured and resonant with an ever-lingering afternote.
As he spoke, his brow was slightly lifted. Subtly teasing, he had now quietly stolen the attention of a great many women present at the venue.
Even Li Beinian was… smitten.
This man… was truly flirtatious.
Shi Yishen wore a broad smile as his amorous peach blossom eyes swept across and stopped at Li Beinian. He commented, “Miss Li, I’ve been hearing so much about you, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
CEO Yang heaved a sigh of relief to see him. He smiled gratefully and replied, “CEO Shi, it’s been ages indeed.”
Mu Donglin looked towards them. A flash of emotions seemed to cross his normally stoic face, as he addressed the person icily by his name. “Shi Yishen.”
