Chapter 447: It Tickles

Li Beinian’s eyes lit up as she quickly ran down the stairs to the full-length windows.

“Is this really a pool?”

She threw open the door and walked out towards the swimming pool, realizing as she did so that this open-air pool was huge.

It surrounded almost half the villa.

Li Beinian estimated it to be around a hundred to two hundred square meters.

And looking down, she could see at a glance the beautiful houses lining the lower tiers.

To the left was the well-known Ling Mountain of Guang City. It was a very tall mountain and considered one of the city’s scenic spots.

From here, one could see all of Guang City clearly, although it was only a 20-minute drive into the city center.

Because of Tai Chen Prefecture’s geographical position, it would, in the later years, be deemed Xia Nation’s most comfortable villa cluster.

“Are we at a high altitude?” Li Beinian turned around and saw that Mu Xichen was standing at the top of the stairs.

He looked at her from where he was and saw her shrouded in the golden light of the sunset.

He smiled and nodded. “This building is one of Tai Chen Prefecture’s highest, and it has the best view.”

Li Beinian walked back to him and looked down from that position. She could see the great expanse of the ocean spread before her.

“So beautiful,” Li Beinian said aloud to herself. “It’s like a dream.”

In her previous life, Mu Donglin had arranged for her to stay in a small villa, and she had spent three years there.

All those years, she lived there alone.

From the time she got married until the day she died, there were only the two of them in that villa—she and her housekeeper.

However, a dream mansion like this, overlooking lush mountains and vast oceans, and next to her was the man she loved...

historical

This was something that she had never dared imagine.

As she stood there lost in her thoughts, Mu Xichen slid his arms around her from behind. He placed his face next to hers and whispered, “We’ll live here from now on. Do you like it?”

As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her ear.

She stiffened slightly, shrank back involuntarily, and giggled. “It tickles.”

“Hmmm?” Mu Xichen pressed in closer, gently rubbing his face against hers. His expression was as though dripping with honey as he said softly to her, “Do you like it?”

Li Beinian turned to look at him. His face was barely a hair’s breadth away, and their bodies almost merging.

Her eyes became crescent moons, and her hazel irises sparkled. She replied, “Yes, I do.”

He took her arms and tightened his grip around them as he leaned forward to press his lips firmly against hers.

Gently, firmly, gradually deepening.

Her heart was so full of joy that it was almost bursting. She held his hands tightly and returned his kiss tenderly.

It was a long and deep kiss.

A pure kiss with no other desires.

She was brightly flushed by the time Mu Xichen released her.

His throat tightened as he gazed at her. Taking her hand, he said in a muted voice, “One more secret. Come, let me show you.”

Without waiting for her to respond, Mu Xichen pulled her behind him as he walked towards the bookshelf.

“First row, behind the third book.” The man reached for the book and removed it from the shelf. The gap revealed nothing out of ordinary, and the timber of the bookshelf could be seen now.

He raised his hand and gave the upper board a press. Li Beinian saw that there was a protruding piece that was of the same color as the shelf.

Instantly, the bookshelf parted.

The space behind it was shrouded in darkness, as though there was a real secret room.

Mu Xichen turned on the lights. The bookshelf automatically and noiselessly swung close.

The space looked empty. He led her to a wall and pressed a button. Immediately, a new space was revealed.
