Chapter 558: Are You Pregnant?

His voice was faint but his tone was firm.

Li Beinian walked over and stood by the table, looking at him steadily.

Mu Xichen had taken a few bites but couldn’t eat anymore.

He wiped his mouth and said, “I’ve checked the number from which Hailang called you. The call was from a P.I.T. virus.”

Mu Xichen put his things away and said unhurriedly, “It’s just that s.h.i.+ Yuanhang has been overseas for five years and only returned recently, so how do you know him?”

If she didn’t know him, she wouldn’t have been able to identify him and call out his name at once.

Even he himself had not recognized the man.

Mu Xichen kept his voice soft, his deep eyes searching her for an answer.

Li Beinian paused and walked towards him. She lowered her head and looked at him. “Do you still remember that I once asked you, if you believed in karma?”

Of course he remembered.

Mu Xichen looked up and met her clear and serious eyes.

Inexplicably nervous, she moistened her lips subconsciously. Taking a few more steps towards him, she continued, “Perhaps it sounds like a fantasy story, but I really want to tell you that I once had a very long dream.”

“In my dream, I was a hooligan. Then at one point, the Li Family suddenly took me home and arranged my marriage with Mu Donglin.”

“I’ve was determined to get into Mu Donglin’s good books. In order to be worthy of him, I worked hard to become a better person.”

Li Beinian moistened her lips again and looked at Mu Xichen.

“I learned to speak foreign languages, play musical instruments, honed my culinary skills, went for etiquette courses, so that I could be a better Mrs. Mu.”

Mu Xichen’s expression suddenly darkened when he heard her last sentence.

Mu Xichen reached out and drew her into his arms so that she was now sitting on his lap.

Li Beinian noticed his displeasure and continued, “Two years after I returned to the Li Family, I married Mu Donglin at the age of 21.”

Mu Xichen held her hand and played with her fingers casually.

Li Beinian withdrew her hand, but he forced her to straighten it.

He ran his fingers over her unadorned ring finger.

That was where their wedding ring belonged.

Her trembled slightly and quietly explained, “I’ve put it away. I I can’t wear it during filming.”

“Uh huh.” The man responded with indifference. It was hard to tell what he was really feeling. “And after that?”

Then…

“After I married Mu Donglin… I think I cheated on him.” Li Beinian’s words were full of uncertainty.

Even she had no idea how much had happened after that, or what she might have forgotten.

“An affair?” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow. “Was it with me?”

“Yes, with you.”

Immediately, Mu Xichen, whose mood had hit rock bottom, found relief. He commended, “That’s good taste.”

Li Beinian was flabbergasted.

It wasn’t as though they were even together openly, what was there to be happy about!

She took a deep breath and said seriously, “There are many things that I can’t recall, Ah Chen.”

Mu Xichen nodded slightly. “That’s what dreams are like.”

Yes, indeed, dreams were like that.

The act of dreaming was in itself bizarre. It was good enough that she could remember bits and pieces after waking up.

However, no one knew it better than her.

It wasn’t a dream. It was all real!

Feeling a little sad, Li Beinian leaned towards him and whispered, “I’ve forgotten a lot of things, especially you.”

Mu Xichen held her and looked down at her, catching the glisten in her eyes.

“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?”
