Chapter 765: Letting Wifey Know He’s Safe

It was late by the time Mu Xichen got home.

He tiptoed into the house and softly entered the bedroom. As the door swung open, he was relieved to see Li Beinian lying on the bed.

He sneaked into the bathroom and washed himself thoroughly before walking out again, trying to be as quiet as possible.

Li Beinian knew exactly what was happening behind her. She closed her eyes pretending to be asleep, letting him do what he needed. When she finally felt him lying down beside her, she turned around slowly and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Mu Xichen froze for a moment. Almost immediately, she leaned up against his shoulder lightly.

Putting her ear to his chest, she could clearly hear his heartbeat. Its rhythm was strong and powerful.

She looked up into his pair of dark eyes.

Mu Xichen lifted her up and whispered, “Why aren’t you asleep? It’s late.”

She didn’t speak, but ran her hands up and down his body, feeling it out to ensure that he was fine. Placing her hands over his shoulders, she pushed herself up and sat on him.

Her long hair cascaded down onto his face.

In the moonlight, she looked especially pet.i.te and alluring.

She pursed her lips and stared at him for a long time before asking, “What did you do today?”

Her hair tickled his nose. He reached out and swept it out of the way. “I was at work.”

“Why didn’t you pick up your phone if you were at work?” Li Beinian gathered her hair back. Her lips were still pursed as she continued, “Do you know how long I waited for you to come home for dinner? And I couldn’t get you on the phone…”

Mu Xichen held her back and said softly, “I’m sorry, my phone wasn’t with me. By the time I saw the missed calls, it was late and I didn’t want to wake you up so…”

“You disappeared without a word. How could I sleep!” Li Beinian laid on his chest and held his face with both her hands. Her eyes were slightly burning. “I’m your wife. Don’t you even have the awareness to call me and let me know you’re safe?”

Mu Xichen felt a little frustrated. He wrapped his arms around her waist and turned her around, whispering, “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again. I promise.”

“You said the same thing last time!” Li Beinian pushed him away angrily. “You said you were sorry the other time too. I only knew that you had been shot, but I had no idea where you were, what you were doing, or who you were with!”

Li Beinian choked with tears as she continued, “Do you feel good making people worry about you? Does that make you feel important? Are you proud of yourself now?”

Mu Xichen was taken aback by this accusation and quickly hugged her, patting her back and saying, “No, no, how could that be…”

“Were you too busy, then? Or was the situation is too urgent and you couldn’t contact me…” Li Beinian sounded even more aggrieved now.” I know that you and T Jing keep in contact at all times. Since you keep such close contact with him, why couldn’t you get him to keep me updated…”

“Don’t cry…”

“I don’t expect you to report your every movement to me, but at least let me know that you’re safe. Otherwise, I’m anxious all the time, worrying that something might have happened to you, worrying about you…” Li Beinian couldn’t continue. She buried herself in his arms, breathing heavily.

Mu Xichen sighed. “I contacted my ex-officer today. I’m setting up a bureau.”

Li Beinian looked up at him with teary eyes.

The man looked fl.u.s.tered, but at the same time, he was doting as ever. “I’ll be fine, I promise.”
