Chapter 514: What Are Your Feelings Toward Mu Donglin, Exactly?

The “evidence” was conclusive.

From last night right up to now, every piece of evidence presented was a nail in Mu Donglin’s coffin.

Lin Ya knew for sure it was Mu Xichen.

Only, that was a harsh move.

He sorted out his thoughts, then laughed softly. He shook his head as he looked at his sister, feeling somewhat sympathetic, but there was something more, as he said, “You’re asking for it.”

Lin Kerou lowered her head and replied, “Big Brother, I really do like him.”

“I will help you,” he said calmly as he started the car. “But what happens to you after you marry him is none of my business. You’ll have to watch your own back.”

…

When Li Beinian woke up to find Mu Xichen gone, she felt nervous.

She knew him to have a bad temper.

Having disappeared so early in the morning, could the man have gone to look for Mu Donglin?

She couldn’t get back to sleep.

She tried to call the man numerous times. Except for the first call that he had answered to let her know he was safe, the rest of the calls went unanswered.

For a few hours, she felt uneasy.

She made breakfast for herself and waited till around 9 am before she felt exhausted and went back to bed.

When she woke up, she found herself in his embrace.

She opened her eyes and looked up.

Mu Xichen’s eyes were shut and his breathing regular as he held her.

The mattress was warm. She wondered how long he had been home for.

She was relieved seeing that he was fine and slipped her arms around his waist.

As she arched herself towards him, she felt his arms tighten around her.

A warmth spread across her forehead. She lifted her chin.

Mu Xichen slowly moved his lips downwards, from her forehead to her eye.

He whispered as his slightly rough thumb gently brushed across her eyelids, “Your eyes.”

They were badly swollen.

She was aware. She lowered her head immediately and buried herself into his chest.

He smiled and said, “Awake now?”

“Uh-huh.”

“What would you like for lunch?”

When she heard this, she suddenly felt annoyed and said, “You know it’s lunchtime. Why did you disappear in the middle of the night?”

“Something came up.” He reached for her face that was still buried in his chest. “I had to deal with it urgently.”

“What came up that you had to attend to in the middle of the night…” She didn’t think it was that simple. “Did you go and find trouble with the man, Mu Donglin?”

His expression darkened slightly at that. He moved his hand away from her eyes, now stroking her lightly, and asked, “What are your feelings toward Mu Donglin, exactly?”

Li Beinian was rather taken aback. She hadn’t expected the man to ask such a question.

After the moment of surprise passed, she quickly replied, “What feeling could I have towards him?”

“No feelings?”

“None!”

His expression relaxed slightly as he returned with a casual, “Uh-huh.”

“If I had any feelings for the man, why would I break off the engagement, why would I cause him to have an affair, and why would I be with you now?” She sounded displeased as she continued, “If I had any feelings for him, you think you’d stand a chance? Stop dreaming!”

Mu Xichen was tickled at once.

He immediately rolled over, on top of her, with one arm around her waist and his other hand caressing the side of her face. His eyes glowed like the silvery light of the moon.

She looked at him and blinked.

Sensing that he was about to get up to something, she turned red and pushed him away, whispering, “Go to sleep, I’m just getting up.”

She withdrew herself slightly from him as she spoke.

But before she could escape, she found the man pressing down on her with the weight of his body.
