Chapter 764: I’m Married, And Love My Husband Very Much

Anyone would find such words absurd.

Li Beinian did not expect them to believe her.

As she spoke, she prepared tea.

To entertain the guests, Li Beinian had brought out the kung fu tea set that she had previously used to serve Old Master Mo.

She actually wasn’t too familiar with preparing kung fu tea, but since the guests were foreigners, they probably didn’t know enough about it to realize this.

As she opened the packet of tea leaves, she looked up and noticed the look of disbelief on Nico’s face.

Will too, looked amazed and said, “Miss Beinian, are you serious?”

Li Beinian couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Will’s serious but curious expression.

Nico looked over at the same time. Li Beinian put on a solemn expression and asked, “What do you think?”

Will replied, “This is too unbelievable.”

Li Beinian shifted her gaze to Nico, who was nodding in agreement.

Li Beinian lowered her gaze to look at the Yixing clay teapot in her hand as she continued making tea. She said with an unfathomable expression, “That’s right, it’s rather unbelievable. No one will think it’s true. And that’s why secrets remain secrets.”

Seeing how serious she was, Nico couldn’t help but ask, “Is it true, Beinian?”

“It’s true.” Li Beinian looked at him. “I’ve only spoken about this matter twice.”

Nico listened intently as Li Beinian continued.

She pursed her lips and said calmly, “The first time was not long after I married Ah Chen. I wanted to be honest with him, and I wanted him to be safe, so I chose to tell him.”

“Is this the second time?” Nico asked. “So you’re telling me this because you want me to be safe?”

“Yes.” Li Beinian paused and looked at Nico with a seriousness like never before. “I’m being honest with you because I wish you to be safe. I’ve told you nothing but the truth, including my wish for you to be safe. If you continue to remain here and wait for death, then the both of you will be in danger. If you don’t ensure your own survival, then there will be others who will be impacted eventually.”

For example, Nico’s daughter.

For another example, Nico’s son-in-law.

Li Beinian had thought through many things.

If Mu Xichen had not met her in her previous life, would he have died?

She had thought about it from many perspectives, and came to only one conclusion: No.

Not only would he not have died, he would have lived on happily.

With Mu Xichen’s capability, he could easily have done anything he set his mind to.

Alas, she had been a hindrance to him.

Apart from the fact that Mu Xichen liked her, the reason she had been a subject of Lin Ya’s interest, was in all probability because of her bloodline.

Besides, she was heiress to the Rothschild inheritance.

That was why Lin Ya had said, “Let me have it. I will bear the responsibility for you.”

“It” was in reference to the ruby that was in her possession, the core of the cane.

And this “responsibility” naturally referred to the Rothschild inheritance.

However, this part of her memory had already been erased. Li Beinian had spent too much time trying to sort out this sequence of events.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.

Since Nico had the capability to bear the leadership position in the Rothschild family, he naturally wasn’t a fool.

As long as she had done her part by conveying this message, regardless of whether he believed her, he wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

People with position and status would only value their own lives, more so than ordinary folks.

Li Beinian had been paying close attention to Nico’s reaction.

Nico looked calm as he studied the Yixing clay teacup in front of him, as though deep in thought.

After a long time, he looked up at Li Beinian and asked, “Beinian, may I ask why you wish for me to be safe?”

Li Beinian felt her chest tighten.

It was obvious at a glance, that Nico was of mixed parentage.

He had deep-set features, but dark hair and eyes.

And now, his eyes were bright and spirited as he looked at Li Beinian with anticipation.

Li Beinian knew what she had to do.

Nico was waiting for her answer.

He must have guessed something.

Li Beinian’s heart pounded and she tightened her grip on the teacup.

Although Li Beinian had been prepared for this, she was inevitably nervous when the moment came.

Confronting the man’s expectant gaze, Li Beinian said calmly, “After all, we’re friends. Of course I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. Still, my dreams have always been very accurate.”

Nico was a little disappointed by her answer.

Will looked equally regretful to hear this.

Indignant, Nico looked at Li Beinian and persisted, “Beinian, this isn’t the truth.”

“That’s the truth.” Li Beinian smiled. “That I had the dream only means we were destined to cross path. Mr. Nico, I sincerely hope that you can change your fate.”

“Beinian, you’re avoiding me.” Nico narrowed his eyes and continued, “You know that, right? Our relationship isn’t that simple and you know it. Why are you avoiding me? Why are you lying?”

Li Beinian’s expression did not change, but her smile faded slightly and her gaze sharpened as she replied steadily, “Mr. Nico, you have your life, and I have mine. The reason I’m alerting you is that I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. I wish you to be safe. But other than that, I don’t think we can have any other relationship.” She paused and added, “I’m married, and love my husband very much.”

Nico was stunned and immediately said, “You’re mistaken. I just…”

“Nico!” Will couldn’t help but interrupt.

Nico paused, then realized what he had said.

He eased back a little upon Will’s interruption.

He looked at Li Beinian’s indifferent expression and laughed at himself. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure.”

Li Beinian smiled and said, “Have some tea.”

Li Beinian handed him a teacup filled with reddish-brown liquid. “This is a birthday gift from someone to my husband. It tastes pretty good.”

Nico smiled and took the teacup from her. While he stared at the liquid in the glass, his eyes filled with loneliness.

Nico didn’t stay long, after finishing his tea he quickly took his leave.

The skies had already darkened when Nico walked out of the house, he looked up, his mood as gloomy as the color of nightfall.

“Will, is she deliberately avoiding me because she thinks that I’ve been a bad father, and now she refuses to acknowledge me?”

Will was silent for a moment before replying, “Perhaps, Miss Beinian just isn’t ready.”

Nico looked at the clear moon hanging high overhead in the dark blue infinity. After a long time, he finally sighed and said “Let’s go.”
