Chapter 559: Not Even a Complete Body In His Death

“I’ve forgotten when we decided to be together and how we met. I’ve even forgotten how it was that I slept with you and got pregnant with your twins.”
Mu Xichen’s eyes lit up as he tightened his grip on her hand. “Are you pregnant?”
His words stunned her for a moment.
Then she got over the shock and pushed him away, saying, “I’m talking about the dream.”
“Oh.” Mu Xichen looked a little disappointed.
Li Beinian looked at him and raised her hand to touch his face. She said slowly, “Ah Chen, in my dream the twins never came into this world.”
Mu Xichen looked at her intently.
“They were unfortunate and died along with me, when I was abandoned in a disused warehouse…” This light in Li Beinian’s eyes quivered as she spoke these words with no uncertainty. “I could clearly feel that I was bleeding, but no one came to save me as I bled to death.”
Li Beinian’s eyes reddened and her voice choked.
Mu Xichen felt a dull ache in his heart as if something was pounding against it.
As he tightened his grip on her hand, his other hand caressed the side of her neck while his thumb gently brushed against her cheek. “Stop it…”
She took a deep breath and held back the tears in her eyes. Looking up slightly, she sighed and said, “At that time, my tongue had been removed and I couldn’t make a sound.”
The man pressed his thumb against her lips and said in a hoarse whisper, “Stop it now.”
Li Beinian pushed his hand away and continued in a nasal voice, “If I could have shouted at that time, the children and I might not have died…”
Mu Xichen held her down and whispered, “Ah Nian, it’s just a dream.”
Choked with emotions, Li Beinian could only shake her head.
“A dream is just a dream.” Mu Xichen caressed her face and said unhurriedly, “I wouldn’t just do nothing if you were being bullied.”
Hence, it was just a dream.
It was impossible for him not to know, if she were in such a situation.
With him around, she would never be bullied, let alone die.
Mu Xichen looked at her helplessly.
However, his words struck a chord in the softest part of her heart.
She could no longer hold back her tears.
She threw herself into his arms and shouted, “You died, you died!”
Mu Xichen did not expect his words to trigger such a huge reaction.
He froze.
Lowering her eyes, Li Beinian wailed loudly like a child. Punching his back, she yelled loudly, “You bastard, you were executed by a firing squad and died. Everyone was cursing you, and saying that you were cruel and heartless…”
Mu Xichen frowned deeply and held her tightly, listening to her crying and cursing without saying a word.
“News about you was all over the media. They called you a hypocrite, and accused you of being a profiteer… and that you even brought the Mo Family down with you!”
Mu Xichen reached out and patted her back gently. For a moment, he felt defeated and flustered. “I’m fine now. I’m not dead. Touch me.”
Mu Xichen held her hand and placed it next to his heart. He said in a relaxed tone, “Look, my heart’s beating. I’m alive and well.”
“You’re alive now!” Li Beinian sobbed heavily and pushed him away. “So you have no idea that Gu Mingye’s body was torn apart by the truck while on the way to pay his respects to you. He didn’t even have a complete body in his death!”
