Chapter 947: Finale (19)

Mu Xichen did not know if this was reality or a dream. He saw that after the three babies were taken out, the discovery of the triplets shocked many people.

Suddenly, Mu Xichen heard a soft sob.

A pair of hands prodded him cautiously and a frightened voice sounded in his ear. “Ah Chen, wake up…”

Startled, Mu Xichen woke up and turned around.

The lights in the room had been turned on at some point. Li Beinian was in the tiny slip that she had put on after her shower and was sitting beside him, looking vexed.

Mu Xichen noticed that there was a bright red handprint on her cheek.

Rather, it was half a handprint, but it was particularly glaring on Li Beinian’s pale face.

Mu Xichen’s heart missed a beat as he sprung up, asking angrily, “Where is that person?”

Li Beinian was stunned. Immediately, she pouted and turned red with fury. She kicked him hard with her leg that was curled up under the blanket and shouted, “You’re freaking crazy! Mu Xichen, I’m lying here next to you, who else is there! You lunatic!”

As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes and she started crying uncontrollably. She covered her face with her hands and wailed pitifully. “Who’s the cheater? Can’t you dream without hitting me? What have I done to deserve it?”

Mu Xichen was completely stunned. He looked at the teary Li Beinian and reached out to grab her wrist, trying to examine the angry red mark on her face.

Li Beinian immediately pushed him away and got out of bed.

Mu Xichen hurriedly held her in his arms and said, “Wifey, wifey, don’t move. Let me take a look.”

Li Beinian’s face was swollen and painful.

Hearing his usual gentle tone, she instinctively stopped struggling.

Mu Xichen removed her hand. When he saw the bruise on her face, his heart ached and he asked in disbelief, “I did this?”

His remark seemed to only upset Li Beinian even more.

She opened her mouth and started wailing. Punching him with her clenched fists, she shouted, “What do you think? That I hit myself?!”

Li Beinian cried like a child. She looked animated, hitting him with her little fists, but at the same time, she was acting coquettishly.

She was so adorable it melted his heart.

However, it was also such a scene that brought a lump to the man’s throat. A certain bitterness and pain welled up within him, causing him to be at a loss for words.

He held her tightly with both arms and allowed her to keep hitting him.

But even if Li Beinian was angry, she couldn’t bear to really hit him. She was throwing a few punches just for show.

Suddenly, Li Beinian felt that something was not quite right with the man beside her.

She could feel Mu Xichen’s body trembling slightly as he held her loosely. She thought she could even hear him sniffing as he drew in deep breaths.

She paused and fell silent. However, she couldn’t help but sob a few times.

Mu Xichen’s arms tightened around her as he became more agitated. Although he tried to suppress his emotions, his heavy breathing hinted at his current state.

Li Beinian wanted to step back to take a look at him, but he held her tightly.

Mu Xichen’s voice was low and hoarse as he said, “I’m sorry, Ah Nian.”

Li Beinian calmed down completely. Pushing his chest with her hand, she whispered, “Don’t cry. Actually… it’s not all that painful.”

Indeed, it wasn’t painful if she didn’t touch it.

Besides, he didn’t do it on purpose.

In the past, Mu Xichen rarely dreamed. She wondered what he had dreamed about today. He looked extremely angry as he spoke in his sleep.

However, she didn’t hear clearly what he had said, she only woke up in shock. She wanted to call out to him, but he suddenly slapped her.

The slap stunned her.

Li Beinian had never been so aggrieved before.

In that moment, she lost control of her emotions.

However, on second thoughts, what sort of dream did he have that caused such a huge reaction?

Li Beinian sniffed and felt a little guilty.

She then hugged him and whispered, “What did you dream about?”

Mu Xichen did not speak. The image of her in agony appeared in his mind again.

He drew her closer as his arms tightened around her.

Li Beinian felt a little uncomfortable and leaned forward slightly. She continued, “You seem so angry that you even hit your own wife. Sob, sob…”

After sniffing a few times, Li Beinian lightly pushed against his chest as she leaned back to look at him pitifully. “I shouldn’t be suffering this beating for nothing, right?”

Mu Xichen lowered his gaze and wiped away her tears. Then he bent over and kissed her lightly. “I dreamed of you. Someone said that you cheated on me.”

Li Beinian glared at him. “So you hit me?”

Mu Xichen shook his head. “At that point, someone hit you and I was really angry. I wanted to hit him back, but I couldn’t.” He spoke quietly and unhurriedly, “I felt completely helpless, and failed to save you.”

In the end, his voice trailed off.

Li Beinian hugged him. “Don’t worry. I have such a good husband that I can’t possibly have an affair. Besides, with you around, who would dare to hit me?”

She smiled casually, except that it made her face look even more swollen now. “Not in this lifetime!”

The corners of Mu Xichen’s lips turned upwards, but his expression was not relaxed.

He slid his hand down and caressed her flat abdomen. He whispered, “You said that you had a dream in the past. You dreamed that you were pregnant with my children. Do you remember if they were twins, or triplets?”

Li Beinian exclaimed, “Twins!”

“Could they be triplets?”

“That’s impossible.” Li Beinian said with certainty. “The results of the prenatal checkup showed that they were twins. I even had an ultrasound!”

“What if the results were wrong?”

“How could that be possible?” Li Beinian was starting to feel like this discussion was unreal. “Don’t be silly. Besides, you said this was my dream from a long time ago and everything is different now.”

Mu Xichen gradually became less tensed up and eventually looked a lot more relaxed.

That’s right.

Everything was different now.

After all, it was just a dream.

However, this dream was too realistic for Mu Xichen to ignore.

The next day, he found T Jing and gave him a facial profile according to the appearance of the burly rogue in his dream.

Almost everything was accessible through the internet nowadays and he believed that it was possible to find this person.

However, the search result identified a person from the countryside. This person traveled all year round and very few people knew his whereabouts.

This matter dragged on for a long time.

Li Beinian knew nothing about this. The moment she woke up the next day, she was already sulking.

On the day after Mu Xichen hit his wife, he pointed to his own head and said, “Here, feel free to hit me.”

Li Beinian snorted.

Two days after Mu Xichen hit his wife, he took her to Japan.

The famed cherry blossoms in Nagoya were in full bloom, and the ground was covered in powdery white petals. Mu Xichen played backdrop and photographer to Li Beinian all day.

On the third day, Li Beinian suddenly had a craving for sour and spicy noodles.

Mu Xichen went shopping for ingredients, and asked to use the kitchen in the hotel.

When she saw the bowl of uniquely flavored noodles cooked specially by Mu Xichen, Li Beinian suddenly felt like she was in seventh heaven.

All her pent-up anger vanished when she dug into this bowl of noodles.

Many years later, Li Beinian would recall the only time she had been “beaten” by her husband with a sigh, remarking, “I’m such a kind-hearted and good woman…”

Days passed and Li Beinian’s belly started to swell.

At least, this experience wasn’t new to her, so she wasn’t taken by surprise.

However, towards the later stages of the pregnancy, the reaction of the people around her got bigger.

They kept repeating the same questions and remarks every day: Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat something?

Get up and take a walk?

Hey, don’t move like that!

Don’t sleep like this. It’s bad for your back.

Li Beinian was stumped.

It was worth mentioning that after so many prenatal examinations, the results were no different as in her previous life—twins.

However, Mu Xichen would try to think up three names every time he thought of the babies. And without exception, it would be two boys’ and a girl’s names.

Li Beinian was devastated.

At first, she would try to stop him, but when Mu Xichen doggedly refused to change, she gave up and simply let him be.

She was less than 30 weeks pregnant, but her belly was as big as the bellies of mothers carrying eight-month-old twins.

The doctor’s explained that this was because she had adequate nutrition.

Oh well… let it be then. It was the same in her previous life. Hmph!

One particular day, Mu Xichen left the house early in the morning. It was not known where he had gone.

Li Beinian leaned back on the sofa and watched television as she munched on melon seeds. She was watching an old variety show that had been around for a long time. She couldn’t help laughing at the people in the program. As she laughed, the baby in her belly suddenly gave her a kick. At the same time, Li Beinian felt a throbbing pain.

The girl simply exclaimed, “Ouch.” Of course, she didn’t mind it.

Tang Xiaoge was cooking as she observed what was going on. She snorted. “Look at how lazy you are, and look at the junk you’re eating. If your husband sees this, he will surely chide me for not restricting your diet.”

“Eh, if we don’t tell him, he won’t know.” Li Beinian popped a sunflower seed in her mouth and suddenly felt the urge to pee.

She threw the melon seed shells into the rubbish bin, patted down both hands, and stood up using the armrest of the sofa as support.

Li Beinian was in good shape to begin with. Now that her belly was so big, apart from being unable to see the ground beneath her, everything else was fine.

At this point, she was wearing cotton house slippers and a thin jacket. She walked towards the washroom.

Assuming everything was alright, Tang Xiaoge did not pay much attention. Suddenly, a scream was heard coming from inside the house. “Ah!”

Tang Xiaoge’s plump body trembled in fear. She jumped reflexively and turned off the stove. Then she immediately turned around and shouted, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong!”

Li Beinian sounded nervous as she shouted, “Mom, I’m bleeding!”
