Compared to Mu Xichen, Mu Donglin was not ruthless enough.
If only Mu Xichen were the one collaborating with him.
Unfortunately, there were no if’s.
Mu Donglin seemed to be in a bad mood after leaving Lin Ya’s study.
However, everyone was used to his cold attitude and did not mind.
Lin Kerou, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood. She kept putting food into Mu Donglin’s bowl and asking about his well-being, causing Mother Lin to tease her continuously. The girl was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
After dinner, Mu Donglin took Lin Kerou home.
The girl was beaming all the way home, and instead of playing with her phone, she gazed at Mu Donglin lovingly.
Special Assistant Chen Ye drove while Mu Donglin and Lin Kerou sat in the backseat.
Sensing that Lin Kerou was looking at him, Mu Donglin turned to her and asked, “You seem to be in a good mood today?”
“Yes!” Lin Kerou smiled and held his arm. “Brother Donglin, have you ever thought about our future?”
“Future…” Mu Donglin was a little dazed when he heard these unfamiliar words.
This was the second time he had heard these words from Lin Kerou.
At this point, Lin Kerou was all smiles as she looked at him sweetly and submissively. “Yes, I’ve thought about it. I’ve thought about it a lot. Brother Donglin, shall we have a child?”
Mu Donglin turned to look at her with a meaningful expression.
Lin Kerou did not seem to notice the strange look in his eyes. She leaned on his arm and looked elsewhere. She said in her sugary voice, “Let’s have two children, a boy and a girl. We’ll prepare them a fantastic room filled with many toys. And, we will give them the best fatherly and motherly love so that they can grow up happily and healthily in a blissful family.”
Lin Kerou’s joy was written all over her face.
Mu Donglin could clearly see her expression through the rearview mirror.
Realizing Lin Kerou’s desires, Mu Donglin opened his mouth, wanting to reject her and shatter her dreams.
However, when he saw her expression, he felt that the words he was about to say were too cruel.
Eventually, he kept silent.
Upon returning home, Mu Donglin headed to the bathroom.
The weather was warming up by the day. The man was not in a good mood and stayed in the bathroom for a long time.
By the time he came out, Lin Kerou had already taken a shower and changed her clothes. She was wearing a loose-fitting light green gauze top and a white singlet that was as thin as a cicada’s wing. Her perfect body was barely visible.
She was a pretty sight.
In fact, so beautiful that when she came up to Mu Donglin, the man could not resist her. Soon, he was entwined with her on the bed.
Her pleasing moans successfully satisfied him, and he tortured her until she fainted.
Lin Kerou was drenched in sweat and with strands of her jet black hair plastered to her face, she looked even more delicate.
Now her breathing was even and she was lying on the bed with her eyes shut, looking as beautiful as a fairy.
As Mu Donglin looked at her, feelings of guilt surfaced.
While making love to her, there was a moment that he almost called her Nian Nian.
Realizing this, Mu Donglin had almost retreated in embarrassment.
Just as he was getting up, there was a sudden banging on the door.
The man frowned and shouted impatiently, “Who is it?”
“Eldest Young Master, the police is looking for you!” The servant’s voice was anxious and she sounded like she was almost crying in fear.
Mu Donglin threw on his clothes. The moment he opened the door, he was surrounded by three policemen. Before he could react, he was handcuffed.
News of Mu Donglin being taken away spread like wildfire.
Besides that, there was also a large pile of evidence found in the Mu family mansion. It was strong evidence that Mu Donglin was collaborating with a criminal and profiting from it; and the Mu Corporation only existed to provide a legitimate source of funding.
Furthermore, there was evidence pointing to the fact that Mu Xichen, who had been taken away on his wedding day, was just a pitiful scapegoat.
Having been sabotaged, the man had failed to turn up at his own wedding. On top of that, he had even been criticized by busybodies.
Eventually, when the truth was out and the police went to release Mu Xichen, he refused to leave.
The Director of the police station himself had to sheepishly come to him to make an apology before the man left with a sullen expression.
It was unknown who had deliberately made such a dramatic announcement, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
In the middle of the night, this news made huge waves on the internet.
Li Beinian had been sleeping in the police station the entire day. Every time she moved, it made a lot of noise and even her makeup was a little smudged.
But now when she woke up, she realized that her husband had been released.
When she saw Mu Xichen, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled foolishly and called out, “Hubby.”
Mu Xichen was silent for a moment. He reached out and drew her towards himself, asking, “Are you very tired?”
“I’ve slept enough.” Li Beinian pouted and placed her hands on his shoulders. “How did you get out?”
When the Director of the police station heard Li Beinian’s question, he felt extremely aggrieved. He explained the whole story and apologized to them over and over again. Li Beinian finally understood.
She looked at Mu Xichen meaningfully.
The man raised an eyebrow slightly and swept her up in his arms. “Let’s go home and married.”
Li Beinian was slightly surprised at being swept off her feet, and when she heard his words, she squealed, wrapped her arms around his neck and shouted happily, “Let’s go home and get married!”
Li Beinian was considerably loud. Some of the bolder reporters outside, who heard her and saw them walking out, surrounded them and started to interview them. “Miss Li Beinian, I heard that you were framed and taken to the police station. What are your thoughts now?”
“Mr. Mu, I heard that your brother was the one who accused you. Everyone knows that the both of you don’t get along. Are you disappointed with what has happened?”
“Miss Li, today is your wedding day. How are you feeling now that someone has ruined such an important occasion?”
Li Beinian yawned and leaned lazily against Mu Xichen. “Good and evil will always be returned. What comes around goes around.”
With that, the reporters got excited and started asking questions about their marriage.
Mu Xichen suddenly said seriously, “The wedding is on the eighth day of the second month, and that’s right now.”
Li Beinian pouted and said, “It’s already the final hour of the eighth day. We’re already in the ninth day.”
Mu Xichen’s expression softened. He looked at the little lady in his arms and said, “The eighth day of the second month is an auspicious day, and so is the ninth day.”
