Chapter 553: For Mu Xichen Who Was In Jail

Li Beinian froze as if struck by lightning.

All sorts of thoughts seemed to be gathering in her mind. In an instant, they became a wide path. And at the end of the path, all sorts of things from her previous life were beckoning to her.

Yes…

Mu Xichen had military achievements. Which one of them wasn’t solid proof of his upright character?

For so many years, he had fought and risked his life for the nation. Would he have done such things?

As long as Mu Xichen would not plead guilty, who could do anything about it?

Nevertheless, he died!

Everyone knew that he had been executed. His body was cremated and his ashes were delivered to the public cemetery. His obituary was everywhere…

Li Beinian’s heart pounded wildly and she was suddenly enlightened.

At the time, when she came to after her tongue was removed, she had discovered that she was pregnant.

And by the time Mu Xichen was executed, her belly was already highly visible.

Because she was pregnant with twins, she had many difficulties eating and sleeping.

She had taken good care of herself and the two babies in her belly, hoping that their ‘father’ would come and visit them and her.

During this period, Mu Donglin came by a few times.

However, he had only ever taken cursory glances at her and never had the slightest intention of being intimate with her. He did not even send superficial condolences.

Every time, he would take a few pictures of her when she wasn’t paying attention.

At that time, she had firmly believed that the child was Mu Donglin’s and was even felt comforted by his actions.

At least, he still cared about these two children.

Whereas, Mu Donglin had been cold towards her, because Lin Kerou was seducing him.

Now that she thought about it, it was not right at all!

He had gone to see her for the sole reason of taking the photographs.

Or perhaps, it wasn’t just for the photographs.

Maybe he was taking them to show someone else?

For example, for Mu Xichen.

More specifically, it was for Mu Xichen who was in jail!

Everything seemed to come together, these matters of the past suddenly became crystal clear.

At once, Li Beinian found it hard to maintain her self-control. Her breathing became quick and shallow.

She grabbed his shirt with both hands and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Looking up, she could see his smooth jawline, his nose, his eyes.

His eyes were beautiful and deep, vast and shiny as the constellations in the night sky.

He was gazing at her now, as if he wanted to keep her deep in his heart.

As he looked at the tears in her eyes, he frowned slightly and whispered, “Ah Nian…”

“Why did you plead guilty!” Li Beinian interrupted him and her tears fell. “Why…”

Mu Xichen was stunned. After a moment, he snapped back to the present and reached out to wipe her tears.

It seemed that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

She rarely did this.

Mu Xichen was silent for a moment. He looked at the tears streaming down her face and felt his chest tighten.

Eventually, Mu Xichen said with certainty, “I would never admit to things that I’ve never done.”

“But you did, you definitely admitted it!” Li Beinian’s voice was choked in between broken sobs, shaking as she grabbed onto his shirt sleeve.

Mu Xichen sighed and said again, “That’s just a dream, it’s not real.”

Li Beinian was stunned. Looking at his helpless expression, she burst into tears.

“Let’s not go to Tongzhou today.” Mu Xichen held her face and carefully wiped away her tears. His voice softened as he said, “Let’s go home, alright?”

“I wasn’t dreaming, I…” At this point, she had no idea how best to explain herself.
