Chapter 429: He’s Livid, Please Come With Me Now
Guang City, one of Xia Nation’s Tier 1 cities.
Unending traffic, a sea of people.
Skyscrapers rose overhead, luxurious and stylish.
The Light Tower, as one of the city’s most representative landmarks, stood graceful and tall as it reached out towards the clouds.
Li Beinian sat elegantly in the revolving cafe at the top of the building, looking down into the city.
The golden rays of the sun illuminated the land like a thin veil that enshrouded the earth and blue skies as one. The atmosphere was leisurely and pleasing.
Unhurriedly, she picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip. The bitter acidity enveloped the tip of her tongue and released its aroma. As the liquid slid down her throat, it returned with a pleasant sweetness.
Although her body was still sore and aching from the indulgent acts of the night before, her mood was surprisingly calm and peaceful.
She reached into her handbag and drew out a tiny pillbox. Levonorgestrel. An emergency contraceptive to be taken within 72 hours.
She had taken her medicine yesterday, and its effects came so fast and furious that she didn’t even have the chance to use the condoms that she had prepared.
Hence, Mu Xichen had taken no precautionary measures at all.
In her previous life, she had gotten pregnant the first time she did it with him.
Twins.
And at one time, she had thought that the babies belonged to Mu Donglin.
Back then, she was greatly enamored with Mu Donglin and had great anticipation for the children.
Even though now she knew that the pregnancy back then had nothing to do with him, her love for him was real.
She wanted the two babies.
Alas, she knew that if she were to repeat history and brought the babies into this world... there was no way she would be able to give them a proper family.
She and Mu Xichen... they were merely making use of each other.
Whether in this life or the previous one... she couldn’t be sure if he really did love her or even liked her.
She couldn’t be sure if she’d be able to keep enough of a sound and stable mind being with such a man, to bring the two babies into this world.
Her logic told her to forget that possibility.
Only, she couldn’t bear giving up the two children...
The sun rose higher outside the full-length window.
Noon was the time that the sun blazed the hottest.
Overhead, an airplane bore through the layers of clouds, leaving a long contrail behind.
Li Beinian squinted. She finally looked away and reached out to pick at the tin foil.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion.
Her head spun around. From outside the cafe came the neat drumming of footsteps.
It felt like a violation to hear such a sound, in such a place.
Her eyes were fixed in the direction of the sound. And the moment they fell on the first person that came into view, her heart missed a beat.
Gu Mingye was in military green camouflage, his muscled and tanned body held ramrod straight.
With a rarely seen serious expression, he walked up to speak with the service staff at the entrance.
Li Beinian’s heart was now pounding madly as she subconsciously held her breath. She stood up immediately and strode across to the restroom.
Just as she slipped in, Gu Mingye called out in a raised voice, “Miss Li, I know you’re in there.”
Her heart almost jumped into her throat as she stood on the spot, her breathing quickening.
“He’s livid, please come with me now.”
She couldn’t help but conjure the mental image of a livid Mu Xichen. Her muscles tightened as she felt her heart rate rising again.
Hehe, it would have been a miracle if he didn’t get angry after being dumped by a woman who bedded him.
There was no doubt in her mind.
She adjusted her sunglasses and immediately took out her mask. She put it on and gave herself a quick look in the mirror. Then, she bunned her hair so that Gu Mingye wouldn’t recognize her.
Taking a moment to calm herself, Li Beinian hung her handbag on her arm and walked out of the restroom steadily.
She held her posture straight as she headed towards the cafe exit with great composure.
Just as she was about to step out of the cafe, she saw that Gu Mingye had gone up to where she was sitting earlier on. He picked up the emergency contraceptive pill that she had removed from the tin foil but hadn’t had the chance to down.
