Chapter 911: Waiting for A New Day, Or Death (18)
“Why would you think that?” Mu Xichen asked. “Who told you all these things?”
Li Beinian sniffed hard and looked at Mu Xichen. Her eyes stung, but she did not say anything.
Mu Xichen pursed his lips tightly and pulled her into his arms. He patted her back gently and said helplessly, “You don’t trust me.”
Li Beinian pouted and turned around awkwardly.
“Before we got married, I told you that I’d have only one woman for the rest of my life. In this life, there will be only you. Even if you’re a good-for-nothing, even if you excel at nothing, you’d be my wife still. Besides, you’re very outstanding.” Mu Xichen wiped away her tears. “Perhaps you don’t realize it, you’re posion.”
Li Beinian pouted even more and raised her fist to hit him lightly, saying in a squeaky voice, “It’s you who are poison.”
“You don’t think you’re poison?” Mu Xichen gave her nose a light rub. “If you weren’t poison, why would I be so smitten? If you weren’t poison, why would I feel wrong all over when I don’t get to see you for a day?”
The mushy sweet nothings were like baked honey, forming a sticky crust around her heart, gooey and warm.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to eat or sleep. I’ve been so frustrated, as if I had lost my soul.”
Li Beinian mumbled, “You’re just exaggerating.”
“It’s true.” Mu Xichen noticed that she was now much calmer than before, and continued, “Even if you don’t have a job, aren’t an actress, or a celebrity, you’re still my wife. I will provide for you, love you, and protect you for the rest of my life. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live with myself.”
Li Beinian snorted softly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and she couldn’t suppress her smile.
However, she felt that it was too ugly to cry and laugh at the same time. Hence she wiped her face with the back of her hand and turned to look the other way.
Mu Xichen leaned over and whispered, “Whenever I see you, I feel like I’m alive. So do you think you’re important to me?”
Li Beinian turned around. Before she focus on the man’s face, he gently held her cheek with his palm and lowered his head to suck on her lips gently and deeply.
His hot breath brushed against her face as his slightly rough palm tenderly caressed her cheek.
Just as their lips were about to part, Li Beinian even stuck out her tongue to give him a light lick, as though she wasn’t quite done. Staring into his eyes, she pouted and whispered, “Smooth talker, all this sweet-talking. Hmph.”
As she spoke, she placed her hands on his chest and rubbed it lightly.
Tensing his body slightly, he gave her lips a little nip. Then he pushed her hand away and said fiercely, “Don’t be naughty.”
Li Beinian smiled. Not only did she not retreat, she unbuckled her seat belt and placed her hands on his face. She propped herself up slightly and pushed him back, pressing her lips against his, biting and licking.
The man held her with both hands, tensing up even further. It was as though his sleeping body was suddenly aroused by a strange fire surging through and engulfing him in an instant.
He tightened his arms around her and his breathing became irregular.
Li Beinian knew him too well. Sensing this, she knew that something was happening. She subconsciously looked in his direction, but before she could see anything, he covered her eyes and pushed her back.
Mu Xichen resisted the urge to let things carry on in the car. He forcefully pulled her off his body and pinned her down on the seat. Then, like a gentleman, he buckled her seat belt and warned her, “Behave yourself!”
Li Beinian turned her head back to gaze at the man.
When she saw his restrained expression, she couldn’t help chuckling to herself. She quickly turned away and snorted softly, muttering, “I’m pregnant. So don’t you mess around.”
When Mu Xichen heard this, he felt as though there was a raging fire in his heart that found no vent.
“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Li Beinian did not speak, but it was obvious that she was in a much better mood now. She leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes in a daze.
Mu Xichen suppressed his anger, but there was nothing he could do. He could only resign himself to fate and drive back to the hotel.
So as not to wake her up, Mu Xichen sent Gu Mingye a WeChat message: Rearrange your sister-in-law’s upcoming schedule and make some adjustments to the filming progress.
After he had sent off the message, he added another: Keep it clean so that she is unaware.
Gu Mingye was confused when he heard this.
This was Sister-in-law’s work, how would she not realize it?
Wasn’t this a rather tall order?
However, since Boss rarely gave him such heavy responsibilities, he had no choice.
Li Beinian slept till night fell.
When she woke up, it was completely dark.
There was no air-conditioning in the house and the windows were wide open. The soft evening breeze blew in and it was very comfortable.
Li Beinian yawned and looked through the curtains by the window. She immediately saw Mu Xichen’s back view.
He was on the phone, speaking in a low voice, but she could vaguely hear him.
She walked over quietly and heard him say, “Got it.”
Just as he said that, he seemed to sense her presence and turned around.
Li Beinian was wearing a loose pajamas top that he had helped her change into.
It hung loosely on her body, revealing her long, fair and slender legs. Coupled with her sleepy look, she was extremely sexy and seductive.
Mu Xichen’s eyes darkened. He took a step forward and shooed her back into the house. “It’s cold out here. Get in.”
“No.” Li Beinian hugged his hand. “It’s not cold. I slept very soundly and woke up to the breeze.”
“Get in.” Mu Xichen walked over to her and lifted her up. “You’re not even wearing shoes, what sort of bad habit is this?”
Clinging to his arm, she was then and tossed onto the bed like a chick.
Mu Xichen quickly hung up and threw his phone onto the bed. Then he leaned forward and asked, “Are you hungry?”
Li Beinian shook her head but quickly said, “We have to eat even if we’re not hungry. The babies need to be fed.”
Mu Xichen smiled and tapped her nose. “What would you like to eat? I’ll get someone to send it up.”
“I want pineapple rice, strawberries, bananas, and sour plum soup. Oh, I also want eggplant spaghetti, cream of mushroom soup…” Li Beinian counted with her fingers.” I want all of them. You can have them if I can’t finish them. ”
Mu Xichen smiled. “Okay.”
Just as he was done placing an order for dinner, Li Beinian walked out of the bathroom, having washed and freshened herself. Mu Xichen turned to look at her and suddenly said, “Mu Donglin will be executed the day after tomorrow. He is hoping to see you for one last time.”
