Chapter 909: Waiting for A New Day, Or Death (16)

Without you, these two children don’t mean a thing.

Li Beinian felt as if her heart had been gripped by an invisible hand. She tensed up and her expression wavered.

Mu Xichen reached out to gently stroke her head. He said in a quiet voice, “If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. But don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ve never thought of you as a baby making tool. I want the children because they are your children. But if you don’t want them, it’s fine, I will respect your decision.”

Mu Xichen was rarely this serious.

His earnest expression and every word he said pierced right through the girl’s heart.

She felt an inexplicable wave of emotions wash over her as tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Beinian pouted and reached out to pat the hand that was resting on her head. She looked a little sheepish as she mumbled, “Who said I didn’t want them? I just wanted to continue filming. I was doing fine even if it had been intense in the recent past. I’m not as weak as you think. I’ve been pregnant for more than a month and I’m still fine.”

“But what if?” Mu Xichen looked at her. “I don’t want to lose you or the children. Yes, you’re fine now, but what if you got into an accident, what if you fainted on the set again… have you thought about my feelings?”

Li Beinian was about to protest, but Mu Xichen continued, “Let’s say, if the person who had fainted today weren’t you, if I had been the one who fainted in the office while working, how would you have felt?”

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Mu Xichen looked at Li Beinian’s expression and sighed softly. Then, feeling helpless and aggrieved, he said casually but gravely, “Ah Nian, perhaps you don’t know, but I love you more than you think.”

Li Beinian felt as if her heart had been crushed. She saw how his happy expression had given way to this look of resignation in just a matter of a few minutes.

And it was all because of her.

She remembered that when she first met him, he was always indifferent, as if he didn’t care about anything.

He was forever high and mighty, as though he had everything under his control. Someone once said that Mu Xichen was a sly old fox who was good at pretending.

However, right before her now, was the real and defenseless Mu Xichen.

In her presence, he expressed his anger and his happiness. Although the changes in his mood were never too extreme, he did not hold them back when he was with her.

He was the man who would take a bullet for her and said he was fine.

He was the man who sacrificed his bottom line to make a deal with Mu Donglin, just to be with her, to ensure her good future and to give her a status.

For her, he lost his reputation, his close friends, and even his life.

And now, he told her that he loved her more than she thought.

Those few words stirred the deepest memories in her heart.

Li Beinian suddenly burst into tears and threw herself onto him.

Caught off-guard, Mu Xichen was slightly stunned.

Helplessly, he drew her into his arms and patted her shoulder gently. “Don’t cry.”
