When the people saw the couple, they were a little awkward initially, but eventually, someone among them took the lead, and everyone called out in unison, “Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law!”
Li Beinian shivered at the thunderous greeting.
As Mu Xichen had his arms around her, he detected her reaction.
Immediately, he glowered and warned them. “You’re scaring her!”
These people from the military forces were used to shouting and weren’t aware of their error.
The boorish men were dumbfounded by Mu Xichen’s reaction and exchanged looks among themselves. Immediately, they called out in unison again, “Apologies, Sister-in-law!”
Li Beinian studied them for a moment and finally said with an unfathomable expression, “It was you guys on the island previously, wasn’t it? Did you guys retire collectively?”
The men stood as straight as a pencil and responded in unison to her question, “Swift Eagle advances and retreats with the Chief!”
Their single voice spoke of a tacit understanding that ran deep in their bones and through their veins. It was loud and soul-shaking.
Her heart was stirred, and she subconsciously recalled her past life.
After Mu Xichen was executed by the firing squad, it was such a group of men who continued to speak up against this injustice.
Street demonstrations were only one of the things they did. Their grievance over this matter was also widely covered on the internet, by the media, and the press.
At the time, his death touched every living person.
It seemed that the entire world knew that Mu Xichen had died.
In hindsight, it certainly was something that had everything to do with them.
Her heart was all too easily shaken by them.
She glanced at Mu Xichen subconsciously, feeling a little scared.
He never had any involvement in smuggling nor drug trafficking. Why was he executed by the firing squad?
Given his loyalty and years of contribution to the Xia Nation, the country shouldn’t have been so ruthless towards him, no matter what.
Unless… there was clear evidence.
When Mu Xichen noticed her expression, he frowned and gently assured her. “Don’t be afraid, they’re just loud.”
Embarrassed, she replied, “Why should I be afraid of them? It’s not like I’ve never seen such people.”
“That’s right. We shouted like that previously too!” Ma Lin started.
“The last time we met, Sister-in-law wasn’t our Sister-in-law. But now she’s our Sister-in-law, haha!”
“Boss, have you got your certificates? When is the wedding?”
“Ptui, of course, they’ve got their certificates. Did you think Boss would have allowed the lady to not have a proper status? Isn’t that right, Boss?”
…
The gang of boorish men jostled with each other to have their own say, talking over each other, creating a din.
Li Beinian, however, found it extremely heartwarming and couldn’t stop herself from smiling. Then, she lifted her eyes to Mu Xichen. Pretending to be unhappy, she complained. “These guys almost killed me this morning, chasing me down like that!”
Bai Yuan instantly proclaimed, “Sister-in-law, I didn’t!”
“Me, neither. It was all Ah Ye’s idea!” Ma Lin went along with him.
Yang Dawu nodded vigorously in agreement. “That’s right. It was Ah Ye who asked us to give chase. He said Boss’s wife had run away!”
“Ptui! Clearly, what Ah Ye said was that some woman bedded Boss and ran away afterward.
“Rubbish. What Ah Ye told me was that a woman stole the virginity that Boss had guarded for twenty years and then fled!”
…
The story became more and more mysterious, but one thing was clear—they unanimously pushed the blame to Gu Mingye.
Li Beinian felt increasingly embarrassed, turning a deep red.
She lifted her chin and looked up, discovering that she wasn’t the only person blushing.
Right at this point, Mu Xichen’s expression darkened, save for a scarlet hint of inevitable bashfulness. Through gritted teeth, he growled under his breath. “Gu Mingye!”
Gu Mingye, in the meantime, had just picked up his girlfriend. They sauntered up like a pair of inseparable lovebirds. Before he could even hit the doorbell, he got a big shock.
