"That's not possible…" Li Beinian found it hard to believe him. She continued, "Grandpa dotes on me, how could he bear to sell me out…"
Having said that, she looked deeply hurt.
He might be speaking the truth.
Old Master Li normally seemed an agreeable man and had a ready smile for just about everyone.
However, there was only one person that he consistently sang praises of, and that was Mu Xichen.
He often prompted her, that if she didn't like Mu Donglin, she could consider Mu Xichen, for he wasn't a bad lad.
However, whenever Li Beinian rejected that idea, Old Master Li would not insist, but the next time and many times after that, he would still sing praises of Mu Xichen.
Hence… it was possible that Grandpa, perhaps, maybe… was only too happy to marry her off to Mu Xichen.
At this thought, she felt terribly heartbroken.
Mu Xichen's smile broadened. He suddenly asked, "Any idea where my property deed is?"
