Chapter 118: If You Don’t Recuperate, Your Legs Will Become Disabled

His voice was soft and calm.

Li Beinian turned and looked at Mu Xichen’s face.

Tough and brave, he was staring at her with starry eyes.

He was holding the teacup with his bony fingers, moving it forward to her slightly.

She subconsciously glanced at Mu Donglin and Wu Meiya.

Mu Donglin stared at her deeply with eyes that were never soft to begin with. It seemed to be more compelling now, as if spilling poison, wishing to drill two holes into them.

Wu Meiya looked at their movements, and the expression on her face was even more thought-provoking.

Li Beinian felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. She looked at the glass of water in front of her and didn’t know whether to take it.

“Enough,” said Old Mr. Li, his face sullen. “You can’t even eat properly, do you need your guests to take care of you?”

His old voice was harsh, and Li Beinian wanted to cry.

Who had she provoked?

Neither of the two men on this table was good.

They could just fight amongst themselves if they hated each other, why did they pull her in?

“Okay, okay,” Wu Meiya said. “Let’s all eat happily.”

She looked at Mu Donglin.

His shrewd face carried some blame as he said, “Xichen is kind to our family. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid something would have happened to Nian Nian.”

In a word, he had quietly enshrined Li Beinian as part of his family.

Obviously, Mu Xichen wasn’t in this “family”.

Mu Xichen’s deep eyes were cryptic, but quickly, he moved his red lips and said, “I only saved her.”

It had nothing to do with her identity.

All he wanted to save was her.

Li Beinian’s heart suddenly rippled, and for a moment, she didn’t understand what this man meant.

Mu Donglin pretended not to understand his meaning and just laughed and said, “Thank you. I heard that you’ve been recuperating at home. If you’re bored, I can arrange a job for you at the company.”

Mu Xichen’s eyebrow lightly rose and he smirked slightly. “Thank you, but there’s no need.”

“Then you plan to be idle and do nothing?” Mu Donglin put his hands on the table and folded his fingers, looking at him. “I heard that this time, your old injury has recurred. If you don’t recuperate well, your legs will become disabled.”

These faint words made Li Beinian’s heart tremble.

Was it because of her?

No, he had been injured during a mission in his past life!

In this life, could it be because of a car accident that never existed in his past life?

How could it be…

But the facts were in front of her, so Li Beinian’s heart starting beating inexplicably fast.

However, Mu Xichen’s expression was calm and natural. He chuckled and said, “You are very concerned about me.”

“I’m your brother. If I don’t care about you, who would?” Mu Donglin leaned on the back of the chair and said leisurely, “Since you have retired, you’ll have to work sooner or later. Now, you are a lonely man, but in the future, you will also have a wife and children. Don’t tell me you’ll rely on subsidies to support your family?”

His voice was always smooth, but his attitude and expression were like he was a noble character looking down at him from above, taking pity on a humble character.

Li Beinian frowned and looked at Mu Donglin.

Mu Donglin also seemed to perceive her gaze and looked over at her.

His eyes are deep, dark and indifferent.

The faint anger in them came straight to his face without concealment.

“What do you think, Nian Nian?”

Mu Xichen: As long as I have a wife, how many is no problem
