"Eh?" Li Beinian was a little surprised. "Why are you calling?"
When Mu Xichen heard her response as he was opening the door, he felt that something was amiss.
Immediately, he grabbed her phone and put it on speaker mode.
Sure enough, a male voice sounded.
"Why can't it be me?" Mu Donglin said in his usual cold and deep voice. There was an odd hint of underlying tenderness.
To be fair, in all the twenty odd years they had known each other, Mu Xichen had never heard Mu Donglin speak so gently.
Mu Xichen glanced at Li Beinian with a smirk.
Li Beinian was slightly annoyed by his stare and shot him a glare.
Mu Xichen lazily shut the door. He did not speak, but instead, pointed at the cell phone, signaling for her to continue speaking with Mu Donglin.
Li Beinian reached for her phone, but Mu Xichen quickly withdrew his hand.
