Chapter 768: There May Be Lives At Stake
This question…
Was a rather technical one!
Li Beinian looked at him with a solemn expression and said, “I think it’s highly possible that a life is at stake.”
“What should we do then?” Mu Xichen’s expression turned solemn. “What do you want to do?”
“I feel…”
“Let’s keep it.” Mu Xichen interrupted her. His voice was deep and there was even a hint of pleading as he said, “If you’re pregnant, let’s keep it, alright? Don’t take the pill.”
Li Beinian’s heart softened as she looked into his eyes. She nodded. “Okay.”
The moment she said this, Mu Xichen smiled in surprise and held her in his embrace.
Before Li Beinian could say anything, he hugged her and started nibbling at her.
Then he said, “Get some more sleep. I’ll make you breakfast.”
“No, I’ll cook for you. You lie down for a bit more.” Li Beinian struggled to get up. “Give me a hand.”
Mu Xichen gently placed his hand on her back. With a gentle tug from him, she got onto her feet easily and then quickly got dressed and washed up.
Li Beinian made red date and wolfberry millet porridge today. It was nutritious and perfect for breakfast.
Because she cooked quite a bit, she served half of it in a small pot and kept the other half in the clay pot to keep warm.
Indeed, it was tasty and had just the right level of sweetness. Even Mu Xichen, who didn’t like sweet things, had no qualms with extra helpings.
Given how Li Beinian was looking at him in anticipation, he forced himself to down another half a bowl of it.
Then looking satisfied, Li Beinian got onto her feet and said, “Let’s go to Nico’s.”
Mu Xichen raised an eyebrow. “Whatever for?”
“To bring him some food.” Li Beinian turned around and walked into the kitchen. She brought out the porridge in the clay pot and said, “Let’s go.”
Mu Xichen frowned slightly. “Do you really want to go?”
“Yes.” Li Beinian handed the clay pot to Mu Xichen. “I still don’t think the traitor is Will. I want to go take a look.”
Seeing how determined she was, Mu Xichen took the clay pot from her and said, “Alright, let’s go then.”
The distance between the villas wasn’t far, it was only a few minutes’ walk.
Li Beinian skipped ahead and occasionally turned around to look at Mu Xichen, who was tailing behind with a large clay pot. She laughed aloud and took a few photographs with her cell phone.
Then, she quickly ran to the villa and rang the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was a very young girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a housekeeper’s uniform and a headscarf.
She was very surprised when she saw Li Beinian, and asked, “Hello, who are you looking for?”
“Nico.” Li Beinian smiled and added, “Is Will here?”
The housekeeper was very surprised and said, “Please wait a moment.” Then, she shut the door and ran off.
Li Beinian turned around. She saw Mu Xichen approaching slowly.
“It was a housekeeper who came to the door. It seems that there are quite many people in their household.” Li Beinian shrugged. As she spoke, the door swung open again.
Will came forward personally and was obviously very surprised to see Li Beinian.
Feeling a little overwhelmed and apologetic, he said to Li Beinian, “I’m very sorry, Miss Beinian. The housekeeper doesn’t know you. Come in quickly. Nico is inside.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Li Beinian walked in. She said, “I’m sorry I came here out of the blue. I just made breakfast and thought that you might not have eaten this before. So I brought some specially for you.”
