She felt a pinch in her heart as she reached for her card and tried to hand it over.
That was when she heard Mu Xichen say, "Here."
The waiter took his card. "Please wait a moment."
Li Beinian was shocked. "Didn't we agree that this was my treat?"
"Next time." Mu Xichen took a sip of the tea and got up. "Let's go."
Li Beinian hurriedly followed suit. "Hold up, I'm not treating you to something this expensive the next time."
Mu Xichen casually glanced at her. "That's fine, we can eat something else."
Li Beinian felt as if there was some subtext to his words.
But Mu Xichen acted as if it was all normal.
Was she thinking too much again?
After settling the bill, Mu Xichen and Li Beinian left and saw the military-green Hummer in the distance.
Gu Mingye rolled down the car windows. "Aye, what a coincidence. Get on."
Li Beinian shot him a look of disdain.
Coincidence?
As if she'd believe him!
