Chapter 713: Die With You
Li Beinian looked into Mu Xichen’s eyes.
His eyes were very beautiful, especially those deep and dark pupils that seemed to encompass all the stars in its undescribable vastness.
However, in them now, Li Beinian detected an unusual emotion.
There were doubts, but they were very faint.
There was a sort of seriousness in his expression.
She stared at him for a long time and said unhurriedly, “Your expression is a little strange too.”
The man paused for a moment and looked away. He said quietly, “Really?”
Li Beinian leaned over and placed her hands on his shoulders. “Why aren’t you asking what’s strange about it this time round?”
Mu Xichen paused again as his gaze returned to her.
She said with no uncertainty, “Because you know that you have that strange look, and are afraid of exposing yourself, so you looked elsewhere, right?”
Mu Xichen did not speak. Li Beinian pinched his face angrily and said, “You’re always lying to me!”
Mu Xichen pursed his lips and said lightly, “I didn’t.”
“Let me ask you then,” she said looking at him, “what did you do yesterday?”
Mu Xichen subconsciously wanted to reply with a “Nothing.”
However, he immediately came to a realization. He was in this state, how could it be nothing?
He opened her mouth and then fell silent again.
Confronted with Li Beinian’s persistent questioning, he was at a loss for an answer.
Observing his attitude, Li Beinian pursed her lips in defeat. Her eyes stung as she whispered, “You didn’t tell me anything. I was worried for nothing... I was lucky this time. I only suffered a concussion and a small injury.” As she spoke, she pointed to her injured face. “If it leaves a scar, I’ll be disfigured.”
As she spoke, she pouted and was on the verge of tears. “If I had been unlucky, I’d have died in the car accident. I’d never see you again...”
Mu Xichen covered her mouth and said, “You won’t die even if I do.”
The girl was just putting on an act, but when she heard this, tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks.
But in reality, after he had died in her previous life, she died too.
He had been sentenced to death and she died of an “accident.”
In the end, none of the two children whom he had so eagerly anticipated survived.
At this thought, Li Beinian felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Mu Xichen covered her mouth. Still, she squeezed her eyes shut as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Only then did the man realize that he shouldn’t have said that. He hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, “Why are you crying? Alright, alright. You won’t die. Don’t cry.”
However, Li Beinian couldn’t stop her tears at all. She reached out to grab his hand and sobbed. “In the future, please don’t keep anything from me. I was scared to death yesterday... I heard that you were shot. I went to ask the police, but they refused to tell me where you were and what exactly happened. I was wandering around alone... I was thinking, if something really happened to you, what should I do? Besides dying with you, I couldn’t think of anything else!”
She whimpered and sobbed.
Every word seemed to pierce right through his heart.
Mu Xichen was silent as he silently wiped her tears away. He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her lips.
Afraid of hurting her neck, Mu Xichen’s movements were exceptionally light.
Li Beinian stopped whimpering and put her arms around his shoulders.
