Feeling completely helpless, Mu Xichen wiped away her tears and said, “Be good now and stop crying.”
Li Beinian couldn’t help but sob. She grabbed his shirt and buried her face in his chest. “There’s nothing good about me…”
He hugged her and said seriously, “You’re good in every way.”
She leaned into him and cried even harder.
Mu Xichen picked her up in his arms and said teasingly. “Fortunately, we haven’t gone to Tongzhou. Otherwise, you’d have scared them to death.”
Li Beinian choked and hit him as she buried her head into his chest again.
His lips turned upwards in a smile as he carried her up the stairs.
From the basement to the third floor, he walked up the stairs with her in his arms.
She turned sideways and looked beyond the spiral stairway, at their home that Mu Xichen had so meticulously decorated.
Yes, home.
Their home.
Only by being with him could she have… a home.
Li Beinian took a shower and returned to the bed. At some point, she fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because she had told Mu Xichen too much, but in the middle of the night, she found herself among all sorts of bizarre landscapes that were strange yet familiar.
In her dream, she was in darkness.
There was dead silence all around.
She couldn’t see anything. Her body was so heavy it felt like lead.
A female voice was pressing her, “Where are the things? Quickly hand them over!”
She could not see anything around her, and her limbs were weak.
She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
“This bitch was drugged. Tsk, she has so many enemies!”
She was thrown into an alley.
A stray cat jumped over and collided with a pile of junk, causing it to topple over with a crash.
The dogs started barking, trying to scare away this uninvited guest.
Her body was burning and she stumbled around for a long time. Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her.
Two bulky men got out. “Young Madam, Young Master has asked me to take you home.”
Li Beinian did not suspect otherwise and followed them into the car.
After she had gotten into the car, she was lifted up and tossed out into an unknown place.
She was abandoned for a long time before she was discovered.
In the darkness, she curled up and turned about in discomfort, moaning uncontrollably.
In a daze, someone squatted beside her and shouted, “Ah Nian?”
“Boss, she seems… something’s wrong…”
As though she had found a life-saver, she held him tightly, calling out, “Help…”
She woke up again because of the pain.
A man was on top of her, unscrupulously satiating himself.
She seemed to be engulfed by desperate kisses. Every inch of her body felt strange, causing her to moan involuntarily.
She called out Mu Donglin’s name, but it only made the situation worse and more violent.
Eventually, she was so exhausted that she couldn’t get up. When she woke up the next day, she found herself in her own little villa.
A wet dream that left all sorts of mottled marks on her body.
However, it had been a long time since she saw Mu Donglin.
“Donglin, why are you ignoring me?”
“Donglin, I’m your wife. Would even that not put me on par with Lin Kerou?”
“Donglin, I haven’t had my period this month.”
“Donglin…”
The scene changed. She was back in that deserted abandoned factory.
The amniotic fluid in her lower body, tainted with blood, spread across the ground below her. She lay in the centre of this fluid as the two babies squirmed in her womb.
There wasn’t a single soul around.
