Chapter 584: Wifey, Help Me Shower

“What about?” Li Beinian looked at Mu Xichen curiously. “I thought Grandpa gave you a dressing down. I didn’t expect him to talk about me.”

After some contemplation, Li Beinian concluded. “You must have asked Grandpa to change the topic.”

Mu Xichen smiled. “Grandpa has lived for so many years and he’s an astute old man. Do you think I can fool him?”

His words made sense. Li Beinian got onto her feet and pulled him up. “What did Grandpa say? Didn’t you say you want to take a shower? Hurry and get up.”

Mu Xichen got up and was tugged along into the room by her.

Looking at her struggling back view, Mu Xichen caught up with her and swept her up in his arms.

Li Beinian was caught off guard. She looked up and saw Mu Xichen’s subtle smile.

As a norm, Li Beinian had never thought much of these typical princess hugs.

But today, he only just had a fight and was injured!

She squirmed and said, “Let me go. I can walk by myself.”

“I just want to hug you.” Mu Xichen lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. “Help me shower.”

Li Beinian turned scarlet and glared at him. “No, do it yourself!”

The man smiled and said, “You’re the one dragging me off to the bathroom. Doesn’t that mean you want to help me?”

“No, let me down!” Li Beinian wriggled again, but worried that they might fall, she did not dare to exert force.

Mu Xichen suddenly drew in a deep breath sharply.

Stunned, Li Beinian asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t move. It hurts.”

Li Beinian tensed up and did not dare to move, allowing him to carry her up the stairs.

Now that they were on the second floor, Li Beinian asked anxiously, “Where does it hurt?”

Mu Xichen looked at her grudgingly and replied, “My heart hurts that my wife won’t help me shower.”

Upon hearing this, Li Beinian gave him a punch.

Mu Xichen laughed aloud. He walked them up to the third floor, opened the door, and whispered in her ear, “Go fill the bathtub.”

Li Beinian gave him a shove and walked in with a reddened face.

Mu Xichen looked at her back view and relaxed slightly. He turned to the bedside table and after rummaging through, took out a wooden box.

The intricate and ancient patterns on it were beautifully carved. Mu Xichen opened the delicate antique lock and a red color from within was revealed.

A red ribbon with a red brocade pouch.

The brocade pouch had been torn and two pieces of tattered cloth were attached.

On the other side, there was a copper coin pierced by a bullet.

The bloodstains on it had been washed off, but there was still a faint smell of rust or blood lingering on it.

Li Beinian turned around and realized that Mu Xichen was nowhere to be seen. She trotted out of the bathroom.

Immediately, she saw Mu Xichen standing by the bedside table with his back to the bathroom, like a statue.

Li Beinian tip-toed over, meaning to sneak a look.

However, Mu Xichen suddenly moved and lowered his head slightly. With his back still facing her, he asked, “Do you still remember that you gave me an amulet?”

Li Beinian was about to pounce on him to give him a scare, but on hearing this, she felt a little defeated. “When did you realize I was creeping up on you?”

Mu Xichen stood up. He broke into a smile when he saw Li Beinian’s disappointed and defeated expression. “The room is only this big.”

From the moment she stepped out of the bathroom, Mu Xichen could sense her soft footsteps.

It wasn’t that he heard it, but his intuition told him.

As a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years, his alertness had been much sharpened.
