Chapter 836: We’re Home
On the first day of the New Year, Li Beinian had a wonderful dream – something that had not happened for the longest time.
In her dream, as was walking down the street, and from afar she saw Mu Xichen. He was bathed in the glow of the surrounding lights.
With his back against the lights, she could see that he was holding two babies in his arms and smiling at her tenderly.
She smiled back at him as she ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.
He said: We’re home.
They were home, all of them.
They were hers. Even after two lifetimes. They would always be hers.
When she woke up, Mu Xichen was no longer by her side.
She got up and gave a yawn.
She knew that she was not to wake anyone up on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The surroundings were extremely quiet.
She looked at the time. It was already 10.30 am.
After freshening up, Li Beinian walked out into the courtyard. At once, she saw Mo Shengge in the distance, jumping up and down.
Mo Shengge was accompanied by Mo Shengyun. When they saw Li Beinian, the two girls greeted her warmly.
Li Beinian asked them if they had seen Mu Xichen, since she had seen no sign of the man. After they expressed that they had no idea, Li Beinian did not pursue the matter further.
Mo Shengxing, Mo Shengran, and Mo Shengxiao were all present; the others were also gathered together to celebrate the New Year, but Mu Xichen and Gu Mingye were nowhere to be seen.
Initially, Li Beinian didn’t think too much of it. However, when by dinner time, there was still no sign of them, she had an ominous feeling.
It was the first day of the new year. Did Mu Xichen and Gu Mingye have to work?
Wait, work?
Li Beinian immediately thought of Shi Yuanhang and P.I.T.
Could it be that they had to handle this sort of matters during the new year?
At this thought, Li Beinian couldn’t help dialing Mu Xichen’s number.
At this point, the ringing of a cell phone could be heard coming from outside the front door.
Mu Xichen and Gu Mingye were finally back. After greeting the elders of the Mo Family, they washed their hands and sat down to eat.
Li Beinian felt like she was burning up inside, however she didn’t want to address this in front of the others.
After dinner had ended, Li Beinian dragged Mu Xichen out of the house and started to question him. “Where have you been all day?”
Mu Xichen’s eyelids twitched as he tried to appear casual and said, “I was busy with a few things. I left you a note. Didn’t you see it?”
“What note?”
Li Beinian did not see it!
Noticing her reaction, Mu Xichen knew that she must have been thinking negative thoughts.
He patted her head and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
Li Beinian grabbed his hand and said threateningly, “Tell me honestly, what have you been up to?”
“Oh, a small issue came up with the company’s shares. Ah Ye and I had to return to Guang City to deal with the matter.”
“Really?” Li Beinian looked at him, her expression full of doubts.
Would Mu Xichen have left without a word over some company matter?
Obviously not!
He was lying to her!
Mu Xichen had expected this, and it showed in his expression as he smiled helplessly. “It’s the truth. I established the company myself and I’m not about to let it be ruined just because we’re here celebrating the New Year.”
Li Beinian found it hard to believe him, but she could not find fault with his reasoning.
Nevertheless, she was relieved to see that he was safe and sound. She grabbed his hand and reminded him, “You have to tell me if something’s gone wrong. Don’t make me worry, or I’ll...”
“Uh huh? Or you’ll what?” Mu Xichen asked in his deep voice as he reached out to brush the stray hair off her forehead.
“I’ll...” Li Beinian thought for a moment but couldn’t think of any threats she could effectively use. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said,” I won’t let you sleep with me. So you decide! “
