Chapter 858: Wedding

Children.

Although she was speaking in dialect, Jiang Yeqing heard this word and understood what it meant.

He subconsciously looked at Bo Chengcheng.

Bo Chengcheng didn’t seem to notice his expression and said to Grandma, “Grandma, we’re all busy with work…”

“Grandma, Chengcheng is unwilling,” Jiang Yeqing said bluntly and moved closer to Grandma.

Bo Chengcheng glared at him.

Ignoring her, Jiang Yeqing continued, “We’re not young anymore. Chengcheng is already 28 years old. She’ll be 29 after her birthday in March. If this continues, she will become an advanced age mother, but still, she’s unwilling…”

As he spoke, Jiang Yeqing looked at Bo Chengcheng like a resentful woman.

Jiang Yeqing spoke very slowly and Grandma understood very quickly.

She looked at Bo Chengcheng through her blurry eyes and said, “You’re a woman, how can you not have children? The younger you are when you get pregnant, the better. You’re already so old, you should consider having children.”

Jiang Yeqing agreed. “Grandma is right.”

Grandma continued, “I don’t have much time left. Chengcheng, Ah Qing is not young anymore. I know you still want to work, but even if don’t do it for Ah Qing, do it for Grandma. Hurry up.”

Bo Chengcheng’s smile faded. She looked at her grandmother’s expectant eyes and responded with a quiet grunt.

Grandma could tell that Bo Chengcheng was unwilling, so she said a few words of persuasion and then changed the topic.

Bo Chengcheng was already in a bad mood. After what had happened just now, she was even more upset.

Jiang Yeqing had always been a smart person and his culinary skills were exceptional.

There were only a few people in the house. Bo Chengcheng helped Jiang Yeqing out with food preparation, and the three of them sat together for the New Year’s Eve meal. After that, Grandma went back to rest.

Bo Chengcheng cleared the dishes and watched as Jiang Yeqing came out of Grandma’s room. She washed the dishes with an icy expression and said in a quiet voice, “Grandma is old. It’s only natural for her to want a great-grandchild. Later on, I’ll tell Grandma that I’m pregnant and we’ll borrow a child to appease Grandma.”

Jiang Yeqing was initially in a rather jolly mood. However, when he heard this, the joy on his face vanished.

He walked towards Bo Chengcheng till he was next to her, watching her do the dishes. After a moment, he suddenly laughed. “How shameless. What makes you think I will help you lie to your grandma?”

Bo Chengcheng rinsed the bowl and said without looking at him, “It takes a lot of effort to bring up children. You won’t be able to take care of two kids.”

“Bo Chengcheng.” Jiang Yeqing’s expression darkened. “We’ll have just one for a start! Besides, even if you had two, I can take care of them!”

“Really?” Bo Chengcheng smiled mockingly and looked ahead.

The water droplets flew onto the white wall and slowly trickled down.

“Aren’t you just lying to yourself, Jiang Yeqing?” Bo Chengcheng lowered her eyes and said softly, “Your other child is still waiting to be taken care of. Just settle down already.”

When Jiang Yeqing heard this, his thick eyebrows twitched. One could see the pain of struggle in his expression as he clenched his fists and then relaxed them again. Then, he said quietly, “That’s not my child, Chengcheng. I’ve never done anything to betray you.”

Bo Chengcheng paused and turned to look at him.

Jiang Yeqing wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed the side of her face. He said in a muffled voice, “Ever since I had you, I’ve never touched another woman. It’s true.”

Bo Chengcheng’s hands trembled slightly. She turned to cast a sidelong look at him as he sealed her mouth tightly with his own.

Jiang Yeqing felt his hands sweating.

He didn’t want to hear her answer.

He didn’t want to hear any of her disbelief.

Bo Chengcheng’s breathing was shallow. She raised her face slightly and reached out to push him away.

Jiang Yeqing released her slightly and whispered, “Trust me, I will prove it to you soon.”

The man had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes that were full of affection as he stared at her.

Bo Chengcheng wavered. She quickly lowered her eyes and turned around to put down the bowl that had been cleaned.

He slipped his arms around her waist and rubbed his body up against hers. “Give me a child, Chengcheng. For me and for Grandma.”

A miscarriage also required confinement.

After giving birth, a woman would have to undergo confinement for a month. In some families that were more particular, the length of confinement would be three months.

As for the miscarriage, the period of confinement was a month, no more and no less. There was a week to half a month to go still.

For the past two weeks, Lin Kerou had been lying down at home. Every time someone visited her and saw her pitiful and pale face, they would comfort her.

And Lin Kerou would tearfully express the pain of losing her beloved sons.

News of her miscarriage quickly spread in the circle.

It was not known who had spread the rumor, that Lin Kerou’s miscarriage was due to Li Beinian’s jealousy. It was rumored that Li Beinian was trying to break the couple up and that was why she had deliberately set this trap for Lin Kerou to fall into.

Li Beinian burst into laughter when she heard this.

Previously, when Mu Yun provided the surveillance footage, she had asked Mu Xichen to keep a backup copy just in case. Indeed, it immediately came in handy.

Once this video was uploaded, the truth naturally dispelled the rumors.

Initially, many people criticized Li Beinian, but now, they automatically speculated about Lin Kerou.

Soon, the rumors intensified. Eventually, the story was that Lin Kerou had used unscrupulous means to frame Li Beinian and even used her own pregnancy as a stake.

Unfortunately, she had tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the bait used to lure it. Lin Kerou had been staying at home for more than half a month, but she was disregarded by the Mu Family.

Everyone’s attention was on Mu Che.

Mu Donglin, on the other hand, had been busy even at the time Mu Che was diagnosed with cancer. He needed to adapt to the high-intensity operations of the company, maintain, and develop the business.

Even when he wasn’t working, he had to be by Mu Che’s side. Hence, he had to pay less attention to Lin Kerou naturally.

With her husband not by her side and with all the rumors spreading around, Lin Kerou went into a depression.

At the time that Li Beinian heard this news, she was going through the guest list with Old Master Li at the old mansion in Qian Zhou.

Li Kun and Li Ying sat on either side of Li Beinian. Both of them had already debuted in the entertainment industry. When they heard that Li Beinian was at the old residence, they happily rushed over.

Putting aside the grudges of the past, just Li Beinian’s achievements in the industry alone was something far beyond their reach.

The two of them wanted to suck up to Li Beinian so naturally, they were the ones who brought this news.

Li Beinian was a little surprised, but she did not sympathize.

What comes around goes around.

When she was framed in her previous life, she was much worse off than Lin Kerou now.

In comparison, Lin Kerou could still speak, and had a family. At least, Wu Meiya wouldn’t treat her coldly and she wouldn’t be looked down upon by the entire Mu family. Her husband wasn’t completely heartless towards her.

From every perspective, Lin Kerou was much luckier.

Li Beinian sighed and decided not to pursue the matter.

The past was the past. What happened in her previous life had not repeated itself.

Now, she had a family, a husband, and a biological father. She had everything that she did not have in her previous life, and that was good enough.

The Old Master could tell that Li Beinian was thinking about this, but he did not expose her. He smiled and listed the names of the guests. Then, he said, “No matter how bad the relationship is between Xichen and his father, they are nevertheless father and son. It is only reasonable that you invite him. You can discuss with Xichen and see what he thinks.”

Old Master Li’s idea was very simple. Filial piety was the priority. The Mo family and the Li family were not unreasonable. Since Mu Che was already in this state, it was entirely up to him whether he turned up. However if they did not invite him, then it would be their fault.

Li Beinian nodded and was about to speak when Mu Xichen’s voice came from outside. “We’ll go along with Grandpa.”

His voice was deep and calm.

The weather was gradually getting warmer. Mu Xichen was only wearing a thin black shirt, and his straight black trousers made him look tall and upright.

When Li Kun and Li Ying saw him, they couldn’t help but steal a few more glances. They turned rather red and their hearts pounded.

Li Beinian pretended that she hadn’t noticed their reaction and said to Mu Xichen, “Come over here. Ah Ye got this list for me. Why is there a Tang guy on it…”

It was Tang Jingming, T Jing.

“Yes.” Mu Xichen placed the car keys on the table. Seeing that Li Ying had made way for him, he stood beside Li Beinian and said, “This is the brother of a friend of mine. Do you know “Dream Slayer”?”

“Dream Slayer”? The online game?” Li Beinian looked up. “I’m the spokesperson for this online game.”

“Yes, the founder’s name is Tang Heming.”

“Oh, I found it.” Li Beinian saw Tang Heming and Tang Jingming’s names and then saw another familiar name. “Eh, this person’s name is so familiar. Shi Lingyan?”

“Yes, my former comrade. He was a sniper.” Mu Xichen bent over to look at the name list she was holding. “He’s also retired from the army.”

“Why do all the people you know seem to have quit the army? I don’t suppose this person was part of the Swift Eagle?”

“We didn’t manage to poach him,” Mu Xichen said. “He was in his father-in-law’s army troop. Later on, his wife died.”

“Did he retire after his wife died?”

“Uh huh.”

“Ah…” Li Beinian was a little sympathetic.” That’s quite tragic. ”

Mu Xichen pursed his lips and gave her head a little massage.

That wasn’t the most tragic.

It was because of that woman’s words that Shi Lingyan became a soldier.

But it was also because of the same woman’s words that he gave up his bright future in his military career and and retired from the army.

However, a dead person was a dead person. No matter how much he went into denial and struggled against it, Tang Wu was dead and that was a reality.

There were many things to prepare for the wedding.

Not only the guest list, but the wedding photos, wedding dresses, and details of the wedding had to be finalized by both parties.

Mu Xichen valued wedding photos very much and had specially hired a famous photography team from France. It was said that he had made an appointment three months in advance just for this occasion.

When Li Beinian heard this, she found it hard to believe, but at the same time, she felt that this man was too scheming.

Three months ago, they hadn’t even spoken to the family and the wedding hadn’t been finalized. This guy was already secretly preparing for it.

He didn’t even ask her opinion!

However, there was more to Mu Xichen’s scheming side.

When she saw the wedding dress that was as wide as three people standing side by side, Li Beinian’s mouth fell open.

On the front panel of the dress were two snowflakes, side by side, that looked out of this world, and on them were embedded diamonds.

The curves of the dress were soft and beautiful, forming a smooth silhouette down her back. It was like a dazzling butterfly that ready to spread its wings and fly. It formed a pale and beautiful arc, revealing an exquisite butterfly bone that was like a heavenly piece of art.

The lower hem of the butterfly was decorated with beautiful white flowers that cascaded in countless layers. When they moved, they were like butterflies dancing among blooming flowers.

This wedding dress was overly gorgeous, overly ostentatious, and beyond beautiful.

Few people could resist such beauty.

However, when it was worn by Li Beinian, it faded into the background.

Under the chandelier overhead, the diamonds on the wedding dress sparkled brightly. Li Beinian’s hands hung relaxed by her side. Her skin was as pale as cream, her teeth were a resplendent white against her ruby red lips, her eyebrows and her hair were jet black. She seemed to be surrounded by a glowing aura and everyone couldn’t help but be attracted to her.

Even the usually calm and indifferent Mu Xichen couldn’t stop looking at her.

His dark eyes shone brighter than the diamonds under the chandelier.

They were ablaze with a sense of awe and obsession like never before.

Li Beinian’s heart pounded as she looked at the man now walking towards her. She blinked and suddenly smiled.

Cheng Su was so excited that her face was flushed. She clenched her fists and exclaimed, “She’s so beautiful! Oh my goddess! Goddess!”

Mo Shengyun was full of envy as well, and gasped, “Sister-in-law, how fabulous!”

As Mu Xichen approached her, he couldn’t resist reaching out for her hand. Then, he turned to Mo Shengyun and Cheng Su and said, “Go and buy groceries. You’re not needed here.”

Li Beinian had called Cheng Su and Mo Shengyun over to help her with the fitting.

The wedding dress was massive and very difficult to put on.

At this point, Cheng Su’s expression was blank, while Mo Shengyun was indignant. “Abandoning us after you’ve used us! That’s too much!”

“Go buy some groceries.” Mu Xichen raised his eyebrows threateningly.

That made Mo Shengyun nervous even as she stomped away angrily.

Cheng Su turned to run after her and even thoughtfully shut the door of the cloakroom behind her.

Li Beinian immediately smiled and placed her delicate hands on his chest, asking “What are you up to?”

She looked at him enticingly and deliberately blew into his ear.

Mu Xichen was already restless. At this point, he felt his body tightening and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Li Beinian put her arms around his back and smiled broadly.

Mu Xichen released her and said in a hoarse voice, “My wife is so beautiful.”

“Of course.” Li Beinian smiled. “I haven’t put on my makeup. I’ll probably look even more beautiful after I do.”

“You look beautiful even without makeup.” Mu Xichen put his arm around her waist. “Do you like it?”

Li Beinian wrapped her arms around his neck and said in an exaggerated and serious voice, “I love it.”
