Chapter 561: Ah Chen, I’ve Ruined Your Life

Mu Xichen’s eyes were set ablaze.
He glanced sideways at Li Beinian.
She was looking back at him steadily with her damp eyes.
She knew, she was right. The things she said were true.
And Mu Xichen clearly knew it.
He was shocked beyond words and kept silent for a long time as he looked at her.
Li Beinian let go of him and stood up. She continued, “He pointed at me and said that I’m your weakness.”
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
In her previous life, Mu Xichen might not have died if it weren’t for her, .
He had gotten into trouble because of her. Even the Mo family, the entire Swift Eagle squad, and the legendary 7740, were all implicated.
The Mo family aside, without Mu Xichen and Gu Mingye as the backbone of the Swift Eagle and 7740, what would happen to them?
Li Beinian pursed her lips at this thought. She looked like she wanted to laugh, but it was uglier than crying. She whispered, all choked up, “Ah Chen, I’ve ruined your life.”
Mu Xichen stared at her in silence for a long time.
As he studied her bloodshot eyes, he felt terribly confused.
He drew her towards himself, then held her steadily and sighed. “Ah Nian, I have only one question for you.”
Li Beinian snuggled up against him and responded quietly.
Mu Xichen opened his mouth and hesitated, then eventually asked, “Will you ever betray me?”
Li Beinian immediately shook her head and replied, “No, I won’t!”
She raised her chin and looked up at Mu Xichen, then said steadily, “You’re my man, Mu Xichen. No matter what, I will never betray you.”
“What if I hadn’t force you to marry me?” The man’s hand glided down her tresses and rested on the back of her neck. His eyes were deep and dark and his voice was hoarse. “What if I weren’t your man?”
“I love you, Ah Chen.” Li Beinian was serious. “Even if I hadn’t married you, I’d still have liked you.”
Li Beinian stared into his eyes that were like a moon above the distant mountains, shrouded in a hazy mist.
“You’re my only man, Mu Xichen. I’m counting on you to take care of me and our children in the future.” Li Beinian took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, “You have to be well. Nothing must happen to you.”
Mu Xichen’s heart melted.
Lowering his head, he pressed his lips against hers. His heart felt as though it was engulfed by a burning sweetness.
He let go of her and whispered in his husky voice, “That alone is enough for me.”
Li Beinian breathed heavily and her long eyelashes fluttered.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a dream or reality.” Mu Xichen’s eyes were filled with longing as he continued softly, “What you’ve said, is enough for me.”
She felt a lump rising in her throat. “Ah Chen…”
Mu Xichen lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, silencing her.
He stared at her deeply and said, “I’d give you my life, if that was what you wanted.”
Those few words tugged at her heartstrings.
Before she could react, Mu Xichen held her hand against his chest.
With her palm laid flat, she could clearly feel the man’s warmth.
Under his well-defined chest muscles, his strong and powerful heart beat against her palm, as though proclaiming the vividness of his life.
“I’m alive, can you feel it?” Mu Xichen’s voice was quiet and deep. “Don’t ever say such silly things again. Without you, my life would be truly ruined.”
His words made her heart ache.
Her tears fell.
