It was only upon walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau building that Li Beinian seemed more relaxed. She suddenly exclaimed, "We're married, just like that?"
"Why?" Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes for a moment. There was a sense of danger as he stared at her and asked, "Do you regret it?"
That expression. That look. It was as though he'd devour her alive if she would even so much as utter a word to admit it.
This unfriendliness wasn't too different from when he was holding that switchblade and brushing it against her throat, just before they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau building.
Only, the earlier episode left her all tensed up with fright.
But now… the threat effect was no longer there.
