Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 839

Chapter 839: He Doesn’t Love You Enough

What had he been up to?

Mu Donglin had asked this at such a critical time that Li Beinian found it hard to believe it had nothing to do with Mu Xichen’s abnormal behavior today.

Except, the Mu Family had tried to reach Mu Xichen several times while he was out. Did Mu Donglin so quickly figure out Mu Xichen’s movements just from this?

Just how closely was this man watching her husband!

Li Beinian could just imagine the scenario of Mu Donglin sending his men to monitor Mu Xichen. The thought of this made her feel ill.

But this was very much Mu Donglin’s style.

She suddenly recalled Mu Xichen had once said that he too, had spies in the Mu Family.

Could it be that Mu Donglin also had people spying on Mu Xichen?

Of course, both Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen, who was beside Li Beinian, were both unaware of the scene that Li Beinian had already formed in her head when she heard Mu Donglin’s words.

Mu Xichen’s expression darkened when he heard Mu Donglin’s words. He retracted his arm holding out the cell phone and made a move that looked like he was about to disconnect the call!

Li Beinian immediately shouted, “What are you trying to do!”

She gripped Mu Xichen’s hand tightly and glared at him.

Mu Donglin, who thought that Li Beinian was still speaking to him, continued, “What can I do? I just feel bad for you.”

Mu Xichen frowned slightly and gave Li Beinian a warning look.

Recalling to mind Li Beinian’s threat earlier on when they were speaking outside the main house, he halted.

Fine.

If Mu Donglin were to spill anything, at least she would have a sense of what was happening.

However, he reckoned that even if Mu Donglin knew anything, it wouldn’t be much.

After all, he had not interfered too deeply in this matter.

Mu Xichen quickly calmed down at this thought. He looked at the little lady who was gripping his wrist tightly, and grinned.

Looking at Mu Xichen’s expression, Li Beinian couldn’t help but ask Mu Donglin, “Just say whatever it is that you wish to say. Don’t keep me in suspense. It’s unethical.”

Mu Donglin refused and continued to keep her in suspense. “I know that you and Mu Xichen are celebrating the New Year at the Mo Family home. It’s already the first day of the new year. Dad’s health is getting worse. If you can bring Mu Xichen home, I’ll tell you.”

“He won’t go.”

“He won’t, even if you asked?” Mu Donglin said regretfully. “That’s true. He’s not like me. If you had married me, I’d have agreed to anything you wanted.”

He paused and added, “He still doesn’t love you enough.”

Li Beinian was secretly amused.

It’s not like I’ve never married you before. You’re just a really bad judge of character!

Li Beinian rolled her eyes. Clinging on to Mu Xichen’s arm, she replied, “I know whether he loves me. If you’re only saying this because you want to trick us into going back, then give up. I won’t fall for it. I’ll go with whatever my husband says.”

Her submissive attitude towards Mu Xichen made Li Beinian feel that she had become a rather obedient wife.

She glanced at the man from the corner of her eye and noticed his satisfied smile.

So smug!

Li Beinian shot him a look of disdain. Mu Xichen seemed to have read her mind. He held her in his arms and gave her a kiss, then started to grope her restlessly.
