Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 494: This Is the Real You

Li Beinian fell silent for a moment, then said with tried patience, “It’s none of your business.”

Immediately, she heard a peal of icy laughter. The person replied, “You’re getting more and more arrogant. Where do you get this boldness?”

“Ptui! Fool!” Li Beinian had no wish to continue the inane conversation and hung up.

She waited, but no one came in.

Growing more frustrated, she picked up her cell phone and started to scroll for CEO Yang’s number.

As she was about to make the call, she heard a woman’s voice coming from outside.

Li Beinian’s eyes lit up, and she shouted loudly, “Help! Help! Will someone out there please help me!”

The voice grew louder. Soon, a tall figure of a woman walked in.

She was wearing a pair of simple pants with a bright yellow chiffon shirt. Li Beinian could tell she was really tall.

From within the cubicle, Li Beinian waved at the woman through the gap above the door and shouted, “Here! Here! Help!”

The woman was on a phone call and looked surprised to see Li Beinian. Her gaze fell on the little contraption outside the cubicle.

Next, Li Beinian heard the footsteps coming toward her to free her. Following this, the door opened.

Li Beinian immediately jumped off and thanked the woman. She cupped her palms together and said, “Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, god knows how long I’d be trapped in here. Thank you!”

After thanking her profusely, Li Beinian lifted her gaze and realized for the first time that the woman looked rather familiar.

She was very tall, around 1.75m, and busty, with a pointed chin.

She was very pretty.

A celebrity.

Li Beinian couldn’t think where she’d seen the woman and threw a couple more glances at her.

“Don’t mention it.” On that note, the woman stepped into one of the cubicles.

Li Beinian finally sighed in relief and washed her hands before walking out of the restroom.

However, just as she had stepped out and taken a turn around the corner, she was greeted by an impressively tall and broad silhouette with upright posture.

Mu Donglin stood there in his neatly pressed dark blue suit, looking exceptionally handsome and smart.

He was leaning against the wall smoking. The wisps of smoke thinly shrouded his angular features, making him look faintly gloomy and stand-offish.

Li Beinian’s expression darkened upon seeing him.

She had been trapped in the restroom for twenty minutes. She was quite sure it was a nemesis who played this little trick.

Besides Lin Kerou, she could think of no other person.

When Mu Donglin saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette and straightened to face her.

As she was about to walk past him, he took a step forward and blocked her path.

“Eldest Young Master Mu, will you excuse me.” She eyed him frostily, with none of that fake politeness that she had put on in front of the other guests.

Mu Donglin suddenly laughed when he noticed this and said, “This is the real you. To think you had to put on an act all that time, this is much more adorable.”

At these words, Li Beinian tried impatiently to get past him.

The man decided to be direct. He reached out to grab her hand.

Instinctively, she tried to shake it off. However, as she lifted her hand, she heard Mu Donglin saying, “Didn’t you say you like this necklace? It’s yours.”

Stunned, Li Beinian turned around.

The man placed an exquisitely packaged gift box in her hand.

Seeing her perplexed expression, Mu Donglin’s eyes flashed as he said in his icy voice, “It’s the Midsummer Heart.”

Li Beinian froze. Then, she opened the box.

The corridor was dimly lit, but the diamonds and precious gem on the necklace seemed to give out an unusual fire of its own.

The necklace that had just been sold for a hefty 20 million was now lying quietly in this little gift box.
