Why did he only see Lin Kerou? Where was Li Beinian?
She was not on the boat or on the surface of the water. That meant that she was underwater!
When those thoughts jumped out at him, he almost lost his sanity.
Seeing Lin Kerou in a comatose state, Mu Donglin was in a frenzy.
After a few strides, he jumped into the sea again.
A few seconds later, he saw Mu Xichen running over with Li Beinian.
At this time, Li Beinian was hanging like a rag doll over Mu Xichen’s body. Her eyes were closed and her long hair stuck to her pale and lifeless face.
She couldn’t be dead, right?
Worrying thoughts bombarded Mu Donglin’s mind. He started to swim in Mu Xichen’s direction.
However, before he came close, he heard Mu Xichen growl. “Get lost!”
Mu Xichen’s speed was very fast. Plumes of water burst out from his strokes.
Seawater flowed up and down his body with a foreboding motion.
However, his anxious movements clearly exposed his feelings at that time.
He did not look calm at all.
Mu Donglin was shocked. His heartbeat raced and he was panic-stricken.
He watched as Mu Xichen turned his fiancèe over and gave her first aid.
Suddenly, there was a bitter taste in his heart.
He couldn’t believe that Mu Xichen was doing that.
He cared about Li Beinian more than he imagined.
…
Li Beinian had a dream.
In her dream, she was floating on the water waves and her body seemed to wane.
The grip around her ankle got tighter and she felt herself being submerged in the sea.
After what seemed like a very long time, she awoke in a fuzzy world.
There was no one around her and the place was deserted.
She walked aimlessly as if she crossed into another world with every step.
Suddenly, a voice shouted her name, “Li Beinian! Nian Nian! Ah Nian!”
Slowly but surely. It felt as if the sweetest poison entered her ears and filled up her heart.
Who was talking to her?
Li Beinian looked around. Her surroundings were blank. There was no one at all!
“Nian Nian. Nian Nian.”
Suddenly, a vague figure appeared in the fuzzy world.
It was a clear reflection of herself. It surrounded her and there was nowhere to escape.
“Do you know who Mu Xichen is?”
Who was he?
Who was Mu Xichen?
Who was Mu Xichen?
“Do you know who Mu Donglin is, then?”
Mu Donglin…
Her husband!
“From this day on, the person you love the most is Mu Donglin. He’s your husband. You love him so much that you would die for him.”
That’s true, she loved him.
She loved him so much that she was willing to die for him…
“Li Beinian loved Mu Donglin and only Mu Donglin. She was willing to sacrifice everything for Mu Donglin. You loved him more than you loved yourself.”
The reflections suddenly turned into Mu Donglin’s face.
There were images of Mu Donglin standing, sitting, looking at her, and sleeping around her.
He reached out his hand to her warmly and called out with a smile. “Nian Nian…”
“Mu Donglin. I love Mu Donglin so much that I would die for him…”
While muttering to herself, she suddenly felt her chest being pressed hard.
An unbearable and strong pressure on her chest made her open her eyes. She lifted her eyelids and was greeted by the blazing sunlight.
There was a familiar face in front of her. At this time, the expression on it was so ominous that it seemed to swallow her up.
“Mu Xichen…”
