Chapter 844: Not Letting Him Go To Bed
Following this, Li Beinian ignored him.
However, she could not fall asleep, and found herself drifting in and out of consciousness.
Although she did not speak to him all night, under the sheets, her fingers were tightly wrapped around his hand.
The next day.
The dark circles under Li Beinian’s eyes seemed to have worsened overnight.
Mu Xichen’s heart ached when he saw this although he did not say anything.
During breakfast, the rest of the Mo family noticed the unusual atmosphere between the couple.
Although the two of them rarely appeared together, they would inevitably be affectionate and sweet with each other whenever they did so.
But all of a sudden, it was as if the two of them had a conflict. Li Beinian smiled at everyone, but when her gaze met Mu Xichen’s, the smile faded.
Mu Xichen did not say anything. He stayed quietly by the side, pouring tea when he needed to, and passing water around when he needed to.
Everyone knew at a glance that Mu Xichen must have made his wife angry.
One could say that among all of them, Mo Shengyun was the person who understood the couple the most. Urged by her siblings, she went to look for Li Beinian and asked the girl quietly, “Sister-in-law, did you have a fight with my cousin?”
Li Beinian replied nonchalantly, “No, I find it impossible to have fights with him.”
Mo Shengyun nodded. In fact, she thought so too.
Cousin Xichen might have a bad temper, but was a man of few words. He wasn’t someone who would get angry at others. How could they quarrel?
However, when she noticed Li Beinian’s expression, she asked, “What did he do to upset you?”
“It’s nothing really.” Li Beinian’s expression was calm as usual. “By the way, we’re returning to Guang City. Did Xichen tell you guys?”
Mo Shengyun widened her eyes and said, “How can you say that it’s nothing? You usually call him Ah Chen and never Xichen.”
Her voice was so loud that everyone around heard it.
Mo Shengge looked at Mu Xichen sympathetically.
Mo Shengxing stood up and walked towards the door. As she passed the man, she patted his shoulder meaningfully.
Mo Shengran was more direct. She walked over and looked at Mu Xichen for two seconds before shaking her head.
Mo Shengxiao remarked, “Amitabha, such a critical time and Ah Ye isn’t around. Pity!”
Mu Xichen fell silent.
Li Beinian did not realize that Gu Mingye was not around. However, upon Mo Shengxiao’s reminder, she immediately came to her senses.
An idea had formed in her mind, but she did not say anything.
Leaving the Mo Family home, Mu Xichen had wanted to drive, but before he could get into the driver’s seat, his wife had taken over. Helpless, he had no choice but to give her the difficult task of driving.
Li Beinian had not said a word to him since she woke up.
To be precise, she hadn’t said a word to him since she got into bed last night.
Mu Xichen couldn’t help but think of what she had threatened him with yesterday. If he didn’t tell her anything, she wasn’t going to sleep with him.
At this thought, Mu Xichen felt a slight bristling.
No way, she wouldn’t be so heartless.
Uh huh, she wouldn’t.
It was the second day of the new year.
When they arrived at the Mu Family Mansion, the living room was filled with relatives.
The noisy living room fell silent all of a sudden, as Mu Xichen and Li Beinian entered.
Someone reacted and greeted him enthusiastically, “Isn’t this Xichen? You’re all grown up in the blink of an eye!”
“Yes, yes. I almost couldn’t recognize him. He’s becoming more and more handsome!”
