Chapter 882: Coming to a Conclusion
Mu Donglin was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Beinian. Then, he returned to his usual calm and indifferent expression.
Like always.
Li Beinian noticed, but did not react to this little detail. She walked up to him slowly.
Mu Donglin looked a little down and out. He was in a simple orange T-shirt. It looked new, and the way it fitted him looked rather pleasing.
Except, this sudden prospect of a jail term obviously affected Mu Donglin greatly. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
The stubble on his face was a little long and formed a dense covering. If it weren’t for his extraordinary aura, he would look like a down-and-out man.
Li Beinian walked towards the man and sat down opposite him.
From the moment Mu Donglin saw her, his eyes were riveted to her.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and asked, “What brings you here?”
Li Beinian was wearing a sapphire blue pearl velvet suit that made her look much thinner than he remembered.
She was without makeup, but her flawless and fair face was plump and moist.
Mu Donglin did not even miss the momentary expression of pity and complexity that flashed across her face. It was enough to make his heart sink right to the bottom of the pit.
“I came to visit you.” Li Beinian held a small box in her hand and placed it on the narrow tabletop between them. “I brought you some snacks.”
These snacks used to be Mu Donglin’s favorite. They were chocolate-flavored, very bitter and very intense.
Li Beinian lifted the lid, took out the dessert and placed a small fork on it. She whispered, “Eat it while it’s hot. It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Mu Donglin looked at the box of dessert and felt inexplicably enthusiastic.
Almost at the same time, his eyes were burning. “How did you know I like this?”
Li Beinian looked at Mu Donglin with a complicated expression.
Of course she knew.
Back then, in order to be a good wife to him, she had taken the pains to find out all his likes.
In order to please him, she would buy these snacks almost every day so that they were there when the man came home.
On countless days, Li Beinian had imagined: If Mu Donglin were to be in a good mood, would he remember that he actually had a wife? Would he bother to glance her way, talk to her, sit with her, drink tea, and eat some snacks, just like what he’d do with Lin Kerou.
Everyone said that Mu Donglin and Lin Kerou were more like a couple.
At that time, she was so envious of Lin Kerou.
She wished she could take her place.
But now, the dream was over and she had awoken.
Seeing that Li Beinian was silent, Mu Donglin picked up a fork with his handcuffed right hand and placed a piece of snack in his mouth.
The familiar flavor and bitter taste were exactly as he remembered.
For some reason, Mu Donglin felt a lump in his throat. His eyes reddened and he almost cried.
Li Beinian looked at him, then unscrewed the cap of the thermos flask, and handed it to the man.
The flask was filled with freshly brewed tea. It was a high quality Dragon Well from West Lake. What a waste to store it like this.
Recognizing the fragrance of the tea, Mu Donglin looked up at her with a complex expression.
