Chapter 792: So Poor That All One Has Is Money

Li Beinian had a vague notion that things were not that simple.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp sting on her fingertips. Li Beinian exclaimed and immediately withdrew her hand.

She looked down and realized that the glass was over-flowing.

Mu Xichen immediately walked up to her and took the kettle from her. He frowned and said, “How much clumsier can you get, scalding yourself getting a glass of water.”

He put the kettle aside and looked at her scalded fingertips. His frown deepened. “Does it hurt?”

Then, without waiting for her answer, he pulled her along into the little kitchen and put her finger under the running water.

As soon as she came into contact with the icy water, Li Beinian shrank back and said, “It’s cold.”

“Bear with it.” Mu Xichen kept the water running over her fingertips for a while, and then took a towel to wipe her hand dry. “Go sit down.”

His tone was firm and came like an order. Li Beinian stuck her tongue out at him before turning around and making her way to the sofa.

When Mu Xichen returned shortly with four glasses of water.

They were still steaming hot. As Li Beinian’s hand was numb with the cold, she immediately reached out for a glass.

But as soon as she did that, Mu Xichen stopped her and chided, “Haven’t you been scalded enough?”

“My hands are freezing.” Li Beinian felt a little aggrieved. “The water was really cold.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xichen took her hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

The man wasn’t wearing overly thick clothes, hence his pocket was warm from his body heat.

Li Beinian dug around comfortably before leaning up against him and slipping her other hand into his jacket.

Nico observed them silently with a smile on his face.

Will, on the other hand, was rather emotional. He smiled and said, “I’m so happy to see that you two have a good relationship.”

Li Beinian didn’t mind that she was doing this in their presence. She looked at Mu Xichen as he placed the glasses of water before them, saying, “It’s cold, have some hot water.”

“Thank you.” Nico smiled. “I really hope that you two will always be blissfully happy together.”

“We will, of course.” Mu Xichen picked up the cup and blew lightly on the water surface before bringing it to Li Beinian’s mouth. “Take a small sip.”

Li Beinian leaned over and took a small sip. Her dry lips immediately moistened and her body warmed up.

After drinking, Li Beinian finally remembered what she had to do.

She drew her hand out of Mu Xichen’s pocket and then solemnly took out the red packet from her own pocket and handed it to Nico with both hands.

When Nico saw this red packet, he immediately recognized it as the one he had given her yesterday.

“Oh.” The smile on his face faded as it gave way to a frown. Looking a little hurt, he asked, “Beinian, what do you mean by this?”

“Mr. Nico.” Li Beinian finally used this form of address that had been weighing heavily in her heart for a long time. Looking at Nico’s shocked and hurt expression, she spoke unhurriedly, “I feel guilty taking this red packet from you. I can’t accept it. I hope you can take it back.”

“No, Beinian, I hope you will accept it.” Nico pushed the red packet back with an apologetic expression. “I owe you way too much. I know that money can’t make up for what I owe you, but I have nothing now. This is all I can give you, Beinian...”

Immediately an old saying came to the girl’s mind: So poor that all one has is money.
