Mu Che lay on the bed, shouting, “Xichen, Xichen… Cough, cough!”
He started coughing violently after shouting for the young man.
Wu Meiya looked down and saw that Mu Che was coughing up blood! She shouted, “Xichen! You’ve angered your father so much he’s coughing up blood!”
However, no matter how much the people behind him were calling out, Mu Xichen did not turn around.
Li Beinian kept a straight face and held his hand firmly as they strode away.
Mu Xichen could tell that she was angry. He held her hand and comforted her silently.
Li Beinian was seething with anger and even looked at her husband with fire in her eyes. “How disgusting. How could there be such a person! It’s not like he hasn’t been sick before. Why didn’t he ask for you then?”
What a crook!
Still infuriated as she spoke, Li Beinian suddenly saw a figure shrink back in the corridor.
She turned around. It was Lin Kerou.
Lin Kerou’s belly was rather significant now. Compared to other pregnant women, it was much bigger.
When Li Beinian saw her, she clearly noticed a flash of resentment on the girl’s face.
However, it quickly returned to normal.
Lin Kerou forced a smile and said, “Nian Nian, you’re finally back.”
Back?
Li Beinian sneered and ignored her. Holding Mu Xichen’s arm, she headed for the exit.
However, before she could take another two steps, she saw a tall figure walking towards her.
Even at home, Mu Donglin was not casual in his dressing.
His long black coat accentuated his tall figure. Underneath the long coat was a suit that looked rather formal.
His gaze first fell on Mu Xichen, then it quickly shifted to the figure that filled his thoughts every day and night.
His gaze rested on her unflinchingly.
She seemed to have gained weight.
Her face was rounder and she looked more energetic.
It appeared that she was well taken care of by Mu Xichen.
A thought flashed through Mu Donglin’s mind and very quickly, he came up to them.
He stopped right in the middle of their path.
Mu Xichen looked at him and frowned slightly. Then, he held his wife’s hand and walked forward.
Just as he was about to walk past Mu Donglin, the latter reached out to stop Mu Xichen.
Mu Donglin seemed to be in a good mood as he turned to look at Mu Xichen and greeted, “Long time no see. So, have you seen Dad?”
Mu Xichen stopped in his tracks and silently pulled Li Beinian into his protective embrace. Then he sneered, “Get lost.”
The hostility was obvious.
Mu Donglin was not fazed. His gazed returned to the little woman who was securely tucked under Mu Xichen’s arm.
At this moment, all he saw along the well-lit corridor was Li Beinian’s wide amber eyes.
They were looking at him.
Mu Donglin smiled slightly. “Your big brother talks to you and you tell him to get lost. Is this the sort of manners the Mo family teaches?”
“Excuse us.” Li Beinian frowned, looking very displeased. “We’re leaving.”
“Just like that?” Mu Donglin’s smile deepened. “Aren’t you curious about the shady dealings your husband has been involved in recently?”
Li Beinian frowned and instinctively looked at Mu Xichen’s face.
His expression was unchanged.
