Chapter 255 - Are You Being Too Anxious?
But he could tell that she had feelings for himself, for sure!
He glanced at her for a moment before asking, “What if, the both of you didn’t have the engagement contract anymore?”
Li Beinian shuddered slightly, unable to come up with an answer.
“Would that mean that you can get together with me?”
Li Beinian opened her mouth but had no idea what to say.
If she didn’t have that contract with Mu Donglin, she wouldn’t have married him.
Then she’d be able to do anything she wanted with Mu Xichen.
She could be with him, and even getting pregnant again... would be alright.
Lin Kerou wouldn’t see her as an enemy, she wouldn’t have been harmed and plotted against... a lot of things wouldn’t have happened.
It seemed pretty worth it.
She didn’t want to be in an ambiguous relationship with Mu Donglin, anyway.
But, Lin Kerou had destroyed her life!
She hadn’t made Lin Kerou pay the price yet!
She couldn’t possibly let her two children die for nothing.
Li Beinian couldn’t take it lying down.
She had only managed to make Lin Kerou carry the dirty name of being a mistress. Surely, there was some impact on her.
But this wasn’t a big enough deal.
She was waiting.
After that banquet, she would take her revenge.
At that large-scale banquet in her past life, Li Xueqing had used her hand and pushed herself down, causing a concussion.
She became referred to and criticized as an evil woman, and Li Haoran had even given her a slap to the face in front of everyone.
Everybody treated her with disdain.
After that, someone had drugged her and stripped her bare.
The following day, photographs of her in bed circulated all over the media.
Everyone found out that Mu Donglin’s fiancèe was being indecent, harming her stepsister at the engagement banquet, and then being caught in a filthy act.
Besides the Mu Family and the Li Family, everyone else scolded her as well.
They scolded her for being cheap, indecent, provocative.
And yet, Mu Donglin refused to call off the engagement contract with her.
Only later on did she realize that this was his way of protecting Lin Kerou.
After marrying him, he hadn’t touched any part of her at all.
They acted as a loving couple in the public eye but slept in separate rooms for three years.
In those three years, Mu Donglin’s enemies had abducted her more than five times.
The first few times weren’t so threatening, but after that, they had cut off her tongue.
She got out of it alive but lost her right to speak for good.
In the depths of hopelessness, she actually found that she was pregnant. She was overjoyed.
She wanted to keep the children.
Her life had already been ruined, but she had to give these two children the perfect life.
And yet, she hadn’t managed to do it.
The last time she got kidnapped, she hadn’t expected things to end up so terribly.
But nobody went to save her.
She was left to her own devices in the abandoned warehouse.
–
Li Beinian kept quiet for a long time. Mu Xichen looked out the window.
“We’re here.”
Gu Mingye stopped the car.
Li Beinian looked up and glanced at Mu Xichen.
Sunlight spilled into the car, forming a gold aura around him.
He looked especially lonely at this point.
Li Beinian quickly turned away and opened the door.
Just as she was about to alight, she heard a voice from behind her. “I’ll wait for you.”
She quickly got off and slammed the door shut.
Gu Mingye sighed as he watched Li Beinian leave. “Are you being too anxious?”
