Chapter 106: Will Be Out of His Control
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Beinian raised her eyes and looked at him.
“I just don’t feel too happy.” Mu Donglin’s voice was cold. “My mother hasn’t slept a wink since last night. She has been sending people to find her ‘corpse’, but now that she’s standing here, she didn’t even say a single word of apology…”
He paused and then continued, “But I like your granddaughter.”
He only said a few words, but it seemed like a thick wooden pile ringing a big bell loudly in her heart.
He said that he liked her?
He had been having a meal intimately with Lin Kerou last time, yet now he was telling grandpa that he liked her?
Li Beinian suddenly felt a little sick.
“So I will marry her not only because of the elderly’s intentions.” Mu Donglin pulled his tie and looked at Li Beinian. “But we still need to communicate more. I will come to see you often in the future, Nian Nian.”
Nian Nian…
In two lifetimes, Mu Donglin had never called her like this.
In that instant, Li Beinian’s mood was very complicated.
She raised her eyes and looked at Mu Donglin.
Mu Donglin’s eyes remained cold and calm.
She didn’t know if it was just her own illusion, but she thought she saw flames deep in his eyes.
This had never happened before in her two lifetimes.
Could he… really…
Such an idea ignited in Li Beinian’s heart, but she immediately rejected it.
It was impossible.
Mu Donglin only loved himself.
He didn’t even seem to like Lin Kerou much.
After staring at Mu Donglin for a long time, Li Beinian said nothing.
The rest of the people heard Mu Donglin’s clear statement, and even if they were unwilling, they couldn’t do anything about it.
Old Mr. Li’s expression also relaxed. “That’s good. If that’s the case, then let’s wait for Nian Nian to recover before making preparations.”
“Of course.” Mu Donglin smiled slightly.
Then, after chatting for a while, Mu Donglin left.
After they left, there was a moment of silence in the ward.
Li Haoran looked at Li Beinian and asked, “Are you sure that Mu Xichen saved you last night?”
Li Beinian pursed her lips coldly. “Why?”
“Why would he save you?”
Li Haoran felt that it didn’t make sense.
Mu Xichen was isolated and introverted, although he did look more friendly than Mu Donglin.
However, compared to Mu Donglin, Mu Xichen made him feel more afraid.
Li Beinian sneered at him. “You also called him Chief Mu. As a soldier, wouldn’t he save a citizen from danger?”
Soldiers had always been synonymous with a sense of justice.
Li Haoran heard her words and frowned.
It wasn’t because of this.
Mu Xichen wasn’t this kind of person.
However, it seemed that apart from this explanation, he really couldn’t find another reason.
“I hope so.” Li Haoran frowned and said seriously, “You’d better stay away from him, this man is not good to mess with.”
“Your father is right.” Old Mr. Li sighed. “Mu Xichen isn’t someone we can provoke.”
“Why?” Li Beinian couldn’t help asking.
“You don’t understand.” Old Mr. Li stared at her and said, “Compared to Mu Xichen, Mu Donglin is more suitable for you.”
Li Beinian was silent.
No, they didn’t understand Mu Donglin at all.
Mu Donglin was too gloomy, and although he seemed calm, he was, in fact, a viper in the dark night.
He might come and bite you in the dark one fine day.
However, she knew the ending of Mu Xichen’s last life.
With his heart of loyalty towards his home country, he was eventually suspected of drug trafficking and smuggling and so died at the gunpoint of his own country.
Such people were also not easy to mess with.
Since she couldn’t provoke him, she wouldn’t.
To her, Mu Xichen was a variable.
She was also happy to avoid him.
However, she had married Mu Donglin for five years in her previous life, but he had never loved her.
She eventually ended up with one dead body and three lives.
She would always remember such a heavy blow!
However, it wasn’t only Mu Donglin who caused her death.
Lin Kerou had spent her whole life trying to kill her, all for… this man?
She wouldn’t marry him, but she wanted to make sure Lin Kerou would suffer too.
Li Beinian didn’t want to continue this topic. She turned to look at the old man and said, “Grandpa, can I move into your house to accompany you?” This could be counted as completing the filial piety of her role as a granddaughter.
“No.” Li Haoran refused. “Your grandfather is old. You are clumsy, so don’t cause trouble for him. How could you take care of him?”
Li Haoran sternly said, “And I just assigned you a few roles in the new drama. Which one do you like? You can choose which one you like. When you’ve recovered, you can go to the crew to see and follow Xueqing to film. You two can look after one another.”
Li Beinian smiled secretly.
He really made it sound so pleasant!
If she lived in the old man’s house, she would really be out of his control.
She might even be forced to curry favor with Mu Donglin.
Li Beinian knew his thoughts well.
Hearing this, she bowed my head. “But I want to be with Grandpa. If one day… if I really died suddenly, wouldn’t I… not have fulfilled filial piety?”
Her voice was whiny and brought a bit of forbearance.
