Chapter 532: (Straight) Men Who’d Only Date and Not Get Married Are Scary

Li Beinian had only just finished her meal when Mu Xichen called.

She was in the nanny van and stole a glance at Cheng Su and then Bai Yuan before picking up the call.

“Hi, what’s up?” She deliberately tried to sound hostile.

Sounding completely unaffected, he asked, “Where are you?”

“Oh… Just finished dining, what’s up?” She looked out of the window as she spoke.

The streets and the people, what was so interesting about them?

“I’ll go pick you up.” Mu Xichen spoke in a flat tone.

However, Li Beinian caught a hint of sweetness in it and couldn’t help smiling.

However, under Cheng Su’s inquisitive gaze, she stopped herself and coughed lightly before saying seriously, “What’s going on?”

There was a moment of silence, then his expressionless voice spoke with a barely detectable underlying affection.

He said, “I miss you.”

The corners of her lips turned upwards as she said, “Don’t you have to work today?”

Without answering the question, he asked instead, “Where are you?”

“Huh. I have to work even if you don’t have to.”

She whispered with dissatisfaction. Then, she obediently looked around and told her location.

After getting the nanny van to stop by the side of the road, Li Beinian put on her gear and got out of the vehicle.

With her hair down and wearing her sunglasses, mask, and hat, she stood by the road as though waiting for a cab.

Observing Li Beinian, Cheng Su told Bai Yuan secretively, “I think Sister Nian is in love.”

Bai Yuan had already noticed Li Beinian’s behavior while she was on the phone.

No doubt about it, she was speaking with Mu Xichen.

Although, he felt rather sorry for Cheng Su.

However, he was quick to reply, “Sister Nian is a human being, what’s wrong with being in love? She’s not that young, so what if she’s in love?

Besides, they were already married.

Being married, they were, officially, man and wife. So, what was wrong with calling each other?

Now that she had gotten off the car to be picked up by someone, he was sure that the person she was waiting for was Mu Xichen.

Only Bai Yuan would have understood this.

Unfortunately, Cheng Su was completely clueless.

He was somewhat angered by Bai Yuan’s words and replied, “How could you say that. Sister Nian is a public figure. As such, she has to protect her image. Now she’s not in the best of situations, with people trying to smear her. How hateful. And if news gets out that Sister Nian is in love, it will greatly impact her reputation!”

“What sort of impact?” Bai Yuan asked.

“It just wouldn’t be a good thing,” Cheng Su said with a wave of his hand. “Why are you so clueless? It’s okay if a single female celebrity and a single male celebrity wish to cook up CP—and once that becomes hot, it benefits both parties in many ways.”

“What’s CP? Can it be eaten once cooked?”

(Straight) Men who would only date and not get married are scary, Cheng Su thought.

However, he was quick to explain. “CP means a couple or a pair of lovers. Cooking up simply means creating a story. For instance, I may think that our Sister Nian and Qin Liangzhi make a good couple, and if they become lovers, they will doubtlessly receive well-wishes from many people.”

As he said this, Cheng Susu looked completely smitten and said, “Qin Liangzhi is my male idol, and Sister Nian is my female idol. The picture of my male idol and female idol standing next to each other looks extremely CP. It’s perfect, hahaha!”

“Tsk.” Bai Yuan hissed with disdain. “Qin Liangzhi? That weakling? He’s way too short!”

“… Weakling is an apt description, but male idol Qin is not short alright. He’s 1.82m!”
