It seemed to be a helpless chuckle, but the sour feeling in Li Beinian’s heart became more intense.
Now, he was standing in front of her alive.
The breath on his body and the warmth of his arms could be felt.
However, he was about to die soon.
He would die after being shot by the country that he once protected and be rejected from the world.
After that, when people mentioned Mu Xichen, it was never about the achievements he accomplished at a young age.
Instead, there was only pity.
They felt sorry for his early death and pitied him for walking the wrong path and forsaking his bright future.
Mu Xichen looked down at her with a calm face. He noticed that she was upset and narrowed his eyes.
With one hand around her waist and the other gently massaging her cheek, he slowly asked, “Since when did I become a death sentence convict?”
Li Beinian was ticklish from his touch and pushed his hand away. “If you continue on this path, it will happen sooner or later.”
Within a few years, this would be his outcome.
All of his assets would be seized and even the Mo family would be implicated.
People from the three generations of the Mo family in the army would be suspended for investigation.
The news that Mu Xichen was shot would spread like wildfire everywhere. The Mu Family would issue an obituary and Mu Donglin would sigh.
The Mo family collected his corpse, but even an extravagant funeral could not be held.
Mu Xichen’s former subordinates and brothers would take up all the space outside Guo Nation’s Cemetery.
The extent of mourning was so great that even the citizens of the country bemoaned the situation.
It seemed that the entire world knew that Mu Xichen was dead.
In her past life, she did not know Mu Xichen and that was a pity.
However, now, thinking of his ending, she had an urge to cry.
Looking at her expression, Mu Xichen said helplessly, “I’ll do my business well. How will I be a death sentence convict, then?”
“Exactly. If you do business properly, it won’t happen,” Li Beinian said in a muffled voice. “But you are walking the wrong path now.”
Mu Xichen sighed deeply. Pausing for a moment, he finally said, “I was the chief and I don’t do these sorts of things.”
Li Beinian raised her head. Her amber eyes glowed like crystals.
Mu Xichen’s palm gently rubbed against her slightly swollen red lips.
They seemed to be an even more tempting crime as he couldn’t help but want to taste them again.
Resisting this urge, Mu Xichen continued, “Even though I’m not the chief anymore, I won’t do such risky things.”
“But what about your fast profits…”
“I have many brothers under me.” Mu Xichen said, “Not only Ah Ye but many others who retired with me. I will not lead them into danger.”
Li Beinian fell silent. A weight was lifted off her shoulders.
However, she still did not believe him.
In her past life, those accusations were the truth…
Seeing that Li Beinian still did not fully trust him, Mu Xichen spoke again. “There’s a blueprint in my heart.”
Li Beinian was slightly stunned and did not understand what he meant.
“In this blueprint, there’s you, me, and our child. A family of three.”
There was a buzzing noise in Li Beinian’s mind. She stared at him and was rendered speechless by his shocking words.
“So, you…” Mu Xichen’s voice fell flat as he stared at her. “I must definitely get you.”
At this moment, Li Beinian’s pounded more wildly than ever before!
“Trust me. I will give you the best future.”
