His voice was faint and undulated.
Gu Mingye's eyes widened. "What?"
He reacted immediately and sucked in a breath.
He looked at Mu Xichen in disbelief and said, "Sir, you…"
Mu Xichen didn't continue talking and just looked sideways at the opposite window.
Li Beinian didn't understand what they were talking about. She noticed his gaze and met his eyes.
Mu Xichen's face was calm, and his black eyes looked down at her faintly. "I'm going on a mission."
Li Beinian jumped. "Mission? Haven't you retired?"
Mu Donglin had just said this at the dinner table and Mu Xichen hadn't denied it.
"Who told you?" Gu Mingye snorted. "The superiors are reluctant to let him retire."
Mu Xichen didn't explain further and just calmly said, "It might take one month, or maybe two months, or half a year."
Or he might never come back.
When he looked at Li Beinian, his eyes were intense, faint and deep.
