For some reason, Li Beinian felt guilty as she looked at the seemingly exhausted Mu Xichen. She whispered, Whats wrong? Have you been busy recently?

Mu Xichen leaned closer and placed his hands on her shoulders. It was hard to tell how he was feeling even when she gazed into his deep and dark eyes. He said, Are you really concerned whether Im busy?

His voice was quiet and emotionless, but she could clearly feel the resentment in his tone.

Feeling bad, Li Beinian looked away.

She had never known much about Mu Xichens business.

However, she used to worry about whether he was too busy or too tired.

At night, she would cook dinner or supper for him.

But ever since she had the babies, she paid significantly less attention to him than before.

In fact, so little that she did not even know when he was home or whether he had eaten.

Li Beinian felt a sense of achievement as she watched her babies grow up day by day. Every single day, there were little changes. She was so focused on them that she naturally neglected him.

When she thought about it, she felt that she hadnt been fair to him. She leaned over and hugged him, saying, Yes, I have to take care of the children. The babies cry whenever they dont see me around. Can you bear to let your children cry?

The resentment in Mu Xichens eyes deepened. He circled his arms around her waist and complained, You cant bear to let the children cry, but you can bear to let your husband cry?

My man is a very strong man. Li Beinian held his face with both hands and caressed it. Be good. I have to get back to them. The babies will wake up if they pee or get hungry later.

Not only did Mu Xichen refuse to let go of her, he hugged her even tighter and said, Now you want the children and not me?

Eh, why are you jealous of the children? Li Beinian looked at the man helplessly. The children are still very young. I will have time to accompany you when they are a little older.

How long do I have to wait? Mu Xichen was like a resentful woman. Till they turn one? Two? Five? Ten?

It cant be that long

Dont go back to them today. Mu Xichen lifted her chin and leaned closer. He said in a quiet voice, Didnt I hire three or four aunties just to give you a hand.

Having said this, Mu Xichen bent over and sealed his lips over hers.

Li Beinian smelled faintly of milk and there was even a milky taste in her mouth.

She had not been kissed like this for a long time and was not used to it.

She leaned her head back slightly and instinctively tried to push him away.

She felt an odd sense of aversion from the close contact that she had not had for a long time.

However, Mu Xichen held her even more tightly and his aggressive movements intensified. He lowered his head and kissed her again. He had no intention of letting her go. Instead, he picked her up, allowing her to cling onto him.

Li Beinian went along with it passively and subconsciously gripped his arm tightly, afraid that she would fall.

The man could sense her resistance and it made his heart ache. However, he did not back off. He held her and placed her on the edge of the bed, then pressed himself up against her.

Li Beinian grabbed his hand almost reflexively. She looked down at him with a frown and turned away to avoid his lips. Under his pressure, she said with difficulty, I dont want to

Mu Xichen ignored her protest as he lowered his head and kissed her neck, gently sucking on her pale skin.
