Again?
Li Beinian was taken aback.
She had thought… she rarely had dreams after marrying him.
Why did he say “again”?
Mu Xichen’s eyes darkened as he studied her expression.
He leaned over and whispered, “What was the dream about?”
Li Beinian felt a little uncomfortable from his weight bearing down on her, but when she met his deep eyes, she, strangely, felt a little guilty.
“Let me guess.” Mu Xichen took her in his arms as he laid down beside her. Embracing her tightly, he said in a deliberately low and deep voice, “You said in your dream, he was your husband. So in the dream… you did it?”
“No!” Li Beinian immediately retorted and turned to look at him. “That person wasn’t him!”
She had reacted too quickly. Mu Xichen looked at her steadily.
Li Beinian explained at once, “I always thought it was him, but in the end…”
“In the end it wasn’t?”
She nodded and turned around to face him. Trying to please him, she explained, “It’s you. That person is you.”
She initially thought that such an explanation would appease him.
Unexpectedly, after she had said this, the man’s lips tightened and his eyes clouded over. He said in his deep voice, “Was it me? Why did you think it was him then?”
Li Beinian was stunned. She did not expect him to focus on this detail.
Her expression displeased Mu Xichen further. He narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Do you like him that much?”
“What?” Li Beinian was even more stunned. “I don’t…”
“More than once.” Mu Xichen grabbed her hand and held her fingers. “The first time was on the way back to Shengnan Island. You sat next to me and fell asleep on the handrail beside the window. You kept calling his name.”
Li Beinian shuddered as she subconsciously recalled.
It seemed…
It was the first time she had dreamed of what had happened previously.
It was also the time she had started to take real notice of the man that was next to her.
But at that time, she was extremely repulsed by him.
After realizing that it was indeed him, she pulled a straight face all the way until she got out of the car.
She had thanked him stiffly and then turned to leave.
As though she suddenly thought of something, she blinked and quickly asked, “How do you remember so clearly?”
The warmth in his eyes started to turn cold as he said with no uncertainty, “I will remember it all my life.”
Li Beinian shuddered and immediately explained, “I’ve had that dream many times. I didn’t intentionally call out his name.”
Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes. “A wet dream?”
Li Beinian turned scarlet.
Seeing her expression, Mu Xichen knew that he was right.
His anger rose and he tightened his grip on her hand.
She withdrew it in pain.
The man sat up and threw the blanket aside, with the intention of getting out of the bed.
Li Beinian had a fright and immediately clung on to his hand, saying, “It was you. The person in the dream had always been you!”
Mu Xichen paused and turned to look at her.
Obviously, he didn’t believe her.
Li Beinian held his hand and said guiltily, “Come back here.”
He stared at her for about two seconds, then turned around and got on top of her.
He was a little forceful, causing her to moan.
That sound triggered him to sink further into her. He clenched his jaw and whispered, “Do you think I will believe you?”
