Chapter 403 - I Heard Everything

Mu Xichen stood behind her and seemed to be looking at her. He said slowly, “Mingye said that it was delicious.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“He’s lying to you.”

“Shengyun said the same.”

“They’ve colluded to fool you.” Li Beinian drank the soup and said calmly, “If you didn’t throw away my snacks, I wouldn’t have eaten it. It tastes awful.”

“You just said that it was acceptable.”

“I was just being polite.”

Mu Xichen was speechless again.

Li Beinian minded her own business and continued eating.

After eating, she took the bowl to the kitchen, washed the pots and utensils, and went back to her room without looking back.

While lying on her bed, she thought: Since when did this man become an internal member of Sheng An?

Li Beinian did not sleep well for the next few days.

She had all kinds of good and bad dreams. They were all fragmented memories that were scattered and difficult to connect together.

However, when she pieced them together, the person in her memory gradually became three-dimensional again.

In her dream, Mu Xichen pressed her down on the backseat of his military vehicle and kissed her uncontrollably.

She felt her body heat up like a flame and she continued to burn with every kiss.

“No... not here...”

He panted as he laid next to her face. His body heat was enough to burn her. He said, “Should we go to my house?”

She shoved him and looked around carefully. “No... we are having... an illicit affair.”

“Well...” He lowered his head to her ear and whispered. “I’ve already negotiated with him and he agreed to divorce you.”

“Really?”

“Yes... When I’m done with this, we can be rightfully together.”

“Are you going to help Mu Donglin with something? Will it be very dangerous?”

“No. As long as I can be with you, nothing is dangerous.”

“Ah Chen.” She hugged his neck and cried. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” Mu Xichen kissed her cheek softly. Although her body as tense as an arrow being pulled from a bow, they still did not go all the way in the end.

However, soon after their separation, Mu Xichen was arrested.

He was a suspect in a major smuggling case. As he needed to cooperate with police investigations, he was imprisoned.

She was driving when she heard the news and did not pay attention when making a turn. She saw the white car get closer and closer...

Bam!

Li Beinian was rudely awakened and broke out in cold sweat.

She unconsciously looked out of the window. The sky was already bright, and occasionally, a bird chirped as it flew by. However, the surroundings were as empty as her heart.

It was Mu Donglin again...

Li Beinian breathed deeply. Her throat was uncomfortably dry. She got out of bed to get some water from the kitchen.

As soon as she opened the door, she had a shock from the person standing at the door.

The lights were not turned on in the corridor and it was very dark.

Li Beinian was very sure of who it was and sighed in relief. She couldn’t help but look up at him and ask, “Why are you standing here? Are you crazy?”

Mu Xichen continued standing there and looked at her with eyes that were dark as the night sky.

“I was awakened by you.” Mu Xichen looked at her. “You screamed very loudly just now.”

Li Beinian’s heart seemed to crumble again. She lowered her head and said, “Make way, I want to get some water.”

“What dream did you have?”

“How is it related to you?” Li Beinian said impatiently and pushed him away. “Get out of the way!”

Mu Xichen turned slightly and Li Beinian immediately walked past him.

“You were calling for me.” Mu Xichen walked behind her, and his voice was particularly low in the quiet early morning. “I heard everything.”
