Chapter 456: Such a Delicate Little Thing
Feeling the change in him, she responded by sinking her teeth in even further as tears formed in the corners of her eyes.
In her previous life, she had been married too.
Then, Mu Donglin was her husband.
There was a time when she would tirelessly call out over and over again: Hubby.
Although that form of address carried with it her enthusiasm and devotion, she received no response.
However, this was the past that had been buried in her soul for three whole years.
It was just that right now, she was still unable to walk out from under the shadow of that dark past.
To her, Mu Xichen was her one and only.
He was Ah Chen. Just Ah Chen.
He was her husband, the man she loved.
“Be good. Call me.”
She shut her eyes, her teeth still clenched over his shoulder.
Then, he whispered as he deliberately slowed, causing no pain or tickling, “Wifey...”
She sighed in relief and released her clenched jaw, gasping for air.
“Ahhhhh!” She shouted, crying out as her grip tightened over him again. “You... damn you...”
Having done that deliberately, he coaxed her again. “Call me.”
She whimpered and hit his back with her clenched fists, refusing to utter the words he wanted to hear.
This was a deep blow to Mu Xichen, but eventually, he brought things to a halt amid her subdued sobs of protest.
As they rested, Li Beinian’s sobbing grew louder. She kicked him and then turned her back on him.
Although he had unfinished business, Mu Xichen knew that he had done a terrible thing.
He quickly drew out a few pieces of napkins and siddled up against her back, explaining in a muted voice, “I lost control momentarily.”
She shook him off and took the napkins from him to dry her tears.
“Don’t be angry,” he said gently. “Does it hurt badly?”
At these words, Li Beinian turned around angrily to face him. She hit out at him with her fist and hollered, “What do you think! It hurts like hell!” Her tears started flowing as she cried in anguish, whimpering. “It wasn’t even this painful when I broke my arm...”
Mu Xichen was shocked to hear this. “That serious?”
He jumped out of bed quickly as he said this and disappeared for a moment.
She sniffed and wiped her eyes, trying to calm her emotions.
Actually... it wasn’t that painful.
It was just the anguish she felt.
When she broke her arm previously, she was the carefree lady boss at the Chi Family, and she was used to that.
Even though her arm was in a cast then, she put on a smile on her pale face. No matter how painful it was, she held back her tears, for fear that she would be laughed at by Chi Hailang.
But now, with Mu Xichen, she realized she was being pampered, so her tears flowed freely.
Of late, she found she was behaving more and more lady-like, such a delicate little thing!
This realization frightened her at once.
Shortly afterward, Mu Xichen returned, holding a tube of ointment.
He was instantly guilt-stricken when he saw her looking at him with tear-filled eyes. He walked over to her and said in a muted voice, “I just got this from the pharmacy. I’ll help you put some on.”
