Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 495: Let’s Get Back Together, Nian Nian

Li Beinian stared at the necklace, feeling puzzled.

She closed the box and looked at Mu Donglin, feeling both amused and confused. “What are you trying to do?”

“I’m just giving you a necklace,” he said, looking back at her. “Keep it if you like it.”

“What about Lin Kerou?” Li Beinian raised her brow and continued, “Didn’t she come to this auction with you because of this necklace?”

“I can buy other items for her.” Mu Donglin leaned over, looking at her with his burning eyes. He took her hand and said, “But there’s only one Midsummer Heart.”

Li Beinian burst out laughing. “There’s only one, and you’re giving it to me?”

She increasingly didn’t understand what Mu Donglin had on his mind.

However, they no longer shared the same sort of relationship from before. She wouldn’t even dream of taking a two-dollar necklace from him, not to mention one that cost 20 million.

She was about to reject it when she suddenly caught sight of a figure in pale yellow approaching from behind the man.

Lin Kerou had spotted them and halted.

Li Beinian quickly looked back at him, saying, “This is something that Miss Lin likes. Now that you’ve acquired it, you want to give it to me? What’s wrong with you?”

He took a step forward at those words. The distance closed between them and clarified, “I’ve said it before, she’s like a sister to me, but you... are my fiancé.”

She retreated without saying a word, pushing the gift box back into his hand and reminding him, “We called off our engagement, Eldest Young Master Mu.”

Mu Donglin refused to take that for an answer.

He took her hand and gave it a yank so that his arm was now in front of her neck, pressing her up against the wall.

Li Beinian was stunned and immediately retaliated with anger, swinging her fist at him.

He deflected her attack easily as his hungry gaze burned into her.

She threw a glance to the side and saw that Lin Kerou was still standing there.

Trying to keep control over her own emotions, Li Beinian said loudly and clearly, “Eldest Young Master Mu, we no longer have anything to do with each other. Please be mindful of keeping your distance from me. I wouldn’t want us to get too close and cause hurt to your soulmate. That would be a bad thing.”

Mu Donglin, on the other hand, ignored all mention of this soul mate and looked at her intently. He said in his icy voice, “Let’s get back together, Nian Nian.”

Get back together?

She twitched her lips and retorted, “Eldest Young Master Mu, have you forgotten to take your medicine today?”

“I’m serious.” Mu Donglin continued to stare at her, that fire in his usually indifferent eyes now growing more intense. “If you’re mine, you wouldn’t even have to be at such events, pulling a fast one as you did. I can give you everything you desire, I’ll be behind you whatever you choose to do.”

“I’m sorry, I’m not interested.” Li Beinian’s expression turned cold. “Eldest Young Master Mu, please get out of my way.”

He had an icy aura, to begin with, and now that iciness was even more oppressive as he sneered. “What’s so great about Mu Xichen? Looking at him just sickens me!” He paused and continued, “He’s not even good enough for you!”

“And you are?” she replied with a cold chortle. “Stop the nonsense, Eldest Young Master Mu.”

Turning even more frosty, he asked, “You like him this much?”

“It’s none of your business who I like, Eldest Young Master Mu.” She looked indifferent but said seriously, “But you, on the contrary... Miss Lin is wholeheartedly in love with you, why do you pester me?”

“I’ve said it many times, she’s like a sister to me.” He inched in closer to her, saying, “The person that I like and desire is you, don’t you understand?”

Then, his voice shook and thickened as he said, “I can’t even begin to forget you, Nian Nian.”
