Li Beinian was surprised as well. She was about to greet him when she saw him moving towards Old Master Mo.
She had wanted to approach him after he was done with the birthday greetings but unexpectedly, Nico had spotted her first.
Just as Li Beinian was about to respond, she heard someone muttering in her ear with a faint sneer, "That acting is really exaggerated."
She turned around at once, and saw Mu Xichen's darkened expression.
"So you know each other." Mo Shengge looked taken aback. "Brother Xichen, who is this?"
Mu Xichen replied curtly, "A neighbor."
Simple and to-the-point.
Apart from those two words, the man said nothing else to introduce Nico.
Nico wasn't the least bit angry, and said with a smile, "How do you do. I'm Beinian's and Xichen's friend. My name is Nico, in Xia Nation I'm called Bei Yong. Or you may address me as Uncle Bei Yong."
