Chapter 908: Waiting for A New Day, Or Death (15)
Li Beinian frowned and raised her voice, making her frustration obvious.
The early summer weather was a little stuffy. The two of them sat on either side of the car staring at each other.
At once, the atmosphere in the car iced over.
Mu Xichen looked indifferent and didn’t seem affected.
However, after saying this, Li Beinian felt that she had gone too far. She turned her head slightly and looked out of the car window. “Whatever it is, I’ll be fine. I’ll be careful so don’t you worry.”
Mu Xichen turned his head and said steadily, “Don’t stay on set for the time being. I’ll stay in the hotel with you.”
Li Beinian turned and glared at the man, asking, “How am I supposed to film then?”
“I’ll send you.” Mu Xichen looked at her as he started the car. He continued with a tone of finality, “And I’ll be there till you’re done filming, to take you back to the hotel. And then I’ll take you back to Guang City.”
“It’s not necessary to do that. Wasn’t I doing fine before this?”
“You fainted today.”
“That was just an accident, just a coincidence!”
“There’s a possibility of an accident given any day. How can I be at ease?” Compared to Li Beinian’s agitated tone and raised voice, Mu Xichen’s spoke calmly and steadily. He appeared unruffled, as though he was looking at an unreasonable child.
Li Beinian was already seething with anger. Now that she felt Mu Xichen’s forceful and domineering attitude, she flew into a rage.
“I told you, everything’s going to be fine!”
“Seeing is believing.” Mu Xichen said flatly as he looked at her. “I won’t be in your way, don’t worry.”
“You’re trying to put me under surveillance!” Li Beinian stamped her foot, her face flushed with anger. “Why are you so overbearing, Mu Xichen? Are you only interested in getting me to bear you a child, and now you’re afraid that I’ll hurt your child?”
Mu Xichen slammed on the brakes and the car immediately came to a stop.
Li Beinian was shocked by his sudden reaction.
It wasn’t a violent halt, but Mu Xichen had never lost his composure like this before.
The girl turned around in disbelief and met with Mu Xichen’s dark and stormy eyes.
He stared at her silently, but the look in his eyes told her that he was furious.
The veins on the back of his hand that was gripping the steering wheel bulged slightly. He loosened his grip, unbuckled his seat belt, and turned to face her.
“I do want a child,” Mu Xichen said clearly and seriously. “But I only want your child. This is our first pregnancy and I don’t wish for any accidents.”
“There won’t be any accidents!” Li Beinian insisted firmly.
“Ah Nian,” Mu Xichen interrupted her. “Do you think I’m more important, or the babies?”
“Of course it’s you!” Li Beinian replied without thinking.
“And it’s the same for me.” Mu Xichen was very serious. “Because they are your children, I want them. And because it’s you, I will not tolerate any risks. I wouldn’t give a damn if it were any other pregnant woman standing in front of me. And because it’s you, I wish to ensure your absolute safety. Ah Nian, without you, these two children don’t mean a thing.”
