Letting Wifey Know He's Safe
Editor: Atlas Studios
It was late by the time Mu Xichen got home.
He tiptoed into the house and softly entered the bedroom. As the door swung open, he was relieved to see Li Beinian lying on the bed.
He sneaked into the bathroom and washed himself thoroughly before walking out again, trying to be as quiet as possible.
Li Beinian knew exactly what was happening behind her. She closed her eyes pretending to be asleep, letting him do what he needed. When she finally felt him lying down beside her, she turned around slowly and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Mu Xichen froze for a moment. Almost immediately, she leaned up against his shoulder lightly.
Putting her ear to his chest, she could clearly hear his heartbeat. Its rhythm was strong and powerful.
She looked up into his pair of dark eyes.
Mu Xichen lifted her up and whispered, "Why aren't you asleep? It's late."
