Chapter 694 - She Was the One Who Caused Mu Xichen's Plight



Chapter 694: She Was the One Who Caused Mu Xichen’s Plight

Mu Xichen remained expressionless.

But in her memory, she had clearly caught a glimpse of the emotions underlying the cold exterior.

There was shock and surprise in his eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it had come.

At that time, Li Beinian did not notice this man’s strange emotions. She only felt that he did not seem too annoyed, before she turned and ran away blushing.

After that day, Mu Xichen disappeared from Qian Zhou.

The girl was utterly disappointed and quickly moved out of Qian Zhou as well.

However, after some time, perhaps a month or two, Lin Kerou asked her out.

The meeting venue was very special. It was a well-known entertainment venue in Guang City – Paradise Entertainment City.

Lin Kerou was ushered to the casino on the ninth floor. The patrons here were all rather powerful people with background, and were high-rollers.

Lin Kerou instigated her to play poker. Li Beinian grew up addicted to gambling and won without a doubt.

Later on, they entered a private room where the CEOs of various companies were having fun.

Li Beinian was very good at counting and remembering cards, but she had no defense against trickery.

She had a bad temper and was very aggressive. After she had caught a person cheating, she started shouting.

Soon after, a small crowd gathered around her.

Lin Kerou was not there. She seemed to have gone to the washroom.

At that time, Li Beinian almost got into a fight with a group of men.

Eventually, a man spoke.

He said, “I heard that someone cheated?”

The person walked in calmly with a dull voice. He scanned the crowd and his gaze paused briefly on Li Beinian before looking at the person who had just been caught.

Mu Xichen said something, and then immediately the cheater’s hand was chopped off and he was thrown out.

Li Beinian was upset, but she was also crazily infatuated with Mu Xichen.

After leaving Paradise, Li Beinian followed closely behind him without saying a word.

In the end, Gu Mingye couldn’t help but say, “Miss Li, do stop following us if you don’t have a good reason to. Be careful of getting beaten up.”

Li Beinian straightened up and said, “I’m not afraid. You’ve just saved me back there. Let me treat you to a meal!”

As she spoke, she ran towards Mu Xichen. “Leader Mu, are you hungry? How about I treat you to supper?”

Mu Xichen did not answer directly but looked at Gu Mingye. “Are you hungry?”

Gu Mingye was taken by surprise, and then replied awkwardly. “A little.”

After that, everything developed naturally. Li Beinian became bolder and more clingy towards him. Eventually, she seemed to have forgotten the fact that she was married and had a husband.

After having known him for half a year, Li Beinian finally found out that he lived in Qing Shui Fu.

She had hung out with him a few times so the security officer recognized her and let her in.

However every time she went knocking on his door, no one would open it.

She would end up feeling somewhat defeated, and then would hover around outside his door all day.

Mu Xichen, on the other hand, seemed to always have planned his timing. As long as she was around, he would never make an appearance.

Hence apart from feeling defeated, she also felt that something was fishy.

Once, instead of hovering outside the door, she went to hide in the stairwell.

There was a pane of see-through glass in the middle of the door of the stairwell, allowing her to clearly see the outside.

She quietly kept watch through the glass. Finally, she heard the elevator bell go off.

She was so excited it was as though every cell in her body had come alive. Immediately, she jumped up and looked out through the glass.

Sure enough, it was him!

She dashed out excitedly and shouted, “Leader Mu!”

Mu Xichen stiffened and turned slightly. Li Beinian had already pounced on him.

Mu Xichen lowered his eyes to look at her. She smiled brightly at him and complained pitifully, “I’ve been waiting for you for so many days. Were you watching me through the surveillance cameras?”

As she spoke, Li Beinian pointed at the camera in the corner.

Mu Xichen pushed her aside. He spoke calmly but was stand-offish. “There’s a gender difference between us. Please don’t come here again.”

“What if I don’t care?” Li Beinian smiled brightly, but she also looked indignant. She leaned over again. “I just like seeing you. I realized that I really like you more and more.”

Mu Xichen took a step back and looked at her intensely.

Suddenly, he took a step towards her.

She subconsciously retreated and found her back pressed up against the door.

In an act that was rather out of character, the man pressed his body against hers. He lifted her thigh and pressed her inner thigh against his hip.

He placed his other hand on the side of her face and looked deeply into her eyes.

Li Beinian was shocked and she shuddered.

Mu Xichen scanned her from head to toe and sneered. “Didn’t you say you like me a lot? What are you afraid of?”

Li Beinian couldn’t take it lying down. She puffed up her chest and said, “I’m not afraid, what am I afraid of…”

“You’re not afraid? Come in with me then?” Mu Xichen seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were bottomless and dark, like a nightstone under an icy lake, dazzling and bone-chilling.

Li Beinian’s heart was pounding but she nodded reluctantly.

Mu Xichen released her, entered the security passcode, and opened the door. Then, he pulled her into the house.

Li Beinian stumbled in and before she could react, he threw her onto the sofa. Then, he got on top of her, pinning down her arms and legs. He lowered his head, and started sucking on her lips.

Li Beinian froze in fear and did not dare to move. It was only when she felt a burning pain on her lips that she started to struggle.

Using her hands and legs in an attempt to free herself, Li Beinian made muffled cries.

Very quickly, Mu Xichen let go of her and hooked his arms around her legs. He laughed mockingly. “Didn’t you say you like me a lot? What’s the meaning of this now? Are you unwilling?”

Li Beinian felt that things were developing differently from what she had imagined and her fantasy was shattered.

However, after looking at Mu Xichen for a long time, Li Beinian felt that he was serious.

Li Beinian thought about it and then asked, “Do you like me?”

“No.” Mu Xichen pinched her chin without hesitation. “But since you came knocking, why wouldn’t I take advantage of it?”

His words stung Li Beinian deeply.

She struggled frantically and shouted, “Go away, I don’t like you anymore!”

“You’ve come looking for me time and again. Weren’t you just trying to seduce me?” Mu Xichen looked down at her and sneered. “You’re strong on the outside but weak on the inside. You’re just pretending.”

Standing up straight, Mu Xichen straightened his clothes and said coldly, “Don’t appear before me ever again.”

Li Beinian felt extremely aggrieved and her eyes were burning. “I really do like you.”

“Get lost.”

She ran away crying.

However, just as she entered the elevator, she suddenly regretted it.

She turned back, walked to his door again and pressed the doorbell. Mu Xichen opened the door.

When he saw her, impatience was written all over his face. He tossed her the small black bag that she had left behind. It landed squarely in her arms.

Li Beinian was slightly stunned and did not realize that she had left it behind.

When she saw that he was about to shut the door, she immediately stopped him and said, “I… I wish to speak with you.”

“Go ahead.”

Li Beinian felt aggrieved and heartbroken. She tried to touch him, but he dodged her.

She squeezed through the door and used all her strength to prevent herself from being pushed out again.

She leaned forward and said, “Remember when I kissed you? That was my first kiss.”

Mu Xichen paused.

Li Beinian inched forward. “I really like you. If you want, I… I’ll give you my first time too.”

As she spoke, she reached out to tug at Mu Xichen’s shirt.

However, Mu Xichen pushed her away and frowned icily. “What did Mu Donglin send you here for?”

Li Beinian was taken aback by this suggestion. She quickly explained, “No, Mu Donglin didn’t send me. I really like you, it’s true!”

“Ha.”

He gave her a shove, and then the girl found herself outside the door once again.

Unable to contain her emotions, Li Beinian burst into tears.

The crying was loud and half-hearted. After crying for more than ten minutes, the man inside finally couldn’t take it anymore.

He opened the door and looked at her from the depth of his eyes. “Do you like me that much?”

“Uh huh!”

“What about Mu Donglin?”

Li Beinian sobbed. “I haven’t lived with him since we got married. He has Lin Kerou and I’m just a decorative piece.”

“Then divorce him,” Mu Xichen said firmly, “Come to me after that.”

Li Beinian was slightly stunned. By the time she snapped back to her senses, the door in front of her had already been shut.

After returning home, Li Beinian spoke with Mu Donglin and suggested a divorce.

Mu Donglin laughed icily, however, he did not agree.

After going back and forth several times, Mu Donglin finally said, “Do me a favor and make a trip to Thailand.”

The trip to Thailand was to receive a collaborating partner on his behalf.

This was a huge transaction.

At that time, Li Beinian couldn’t understand why he had asked her to handle such an important and major deal. She was an ignorant and clueless person after all.

Later on, she found out that these were illegal transactions.

If it was exposed, Li Beinian would have been the first scapegoat.

Furthermore, she had been very close to Mu Xichen recently, so Mu Xichen was naturally a target of course.

At the time, Li Beinian had no idea that this “small favor” she had agreed to, was the first major step in putting Mu Xichen in a disadvantageous position.

That transaction took place more than a year later.

More than a year, more than a year…

Li Beinian tried her best to search the corridors of her mind for related information. However, the images in her head were getting further and further away.

Beep!

Beep!

The heartbeat recorder gave out rhythmic beeps.

Li Beinian felt as if her body was falling apart, especially her head.

“She’s awake, she’s awake!” Chi Hailang sounded pleasantly surprised.

Following this, Li Beinian heard the sounds of people coming and going. It was noisy and chaotic.

She then felt her eyelid being pulled open. A flashlight shone into her eye. The dizziness in her head gradually dissipated and her consciousness slowly returned.

When she opened her mouth, Li Beinian felt as if her throat was on fire. With even the slightest movement, the nerves around her neck seemed to scream in pain. She felt sore and stiff.

Chi Hailang quickly came forward and shouted, “Beinian, how are you feeling? Do you want some water? Can you talk?”

Li Beinian frowned and asked, “Where is he?”
