Was it about to happen?
Li Beinian was so nervous that she held her breath. Her entire body was tensed up and she unconsciously hugged him tighter.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xichen paused and stared at her with his deep eyes. Slowly, he asked, "Are you scared already?"
There was some forbearance in his voice.
However, she couldn't tell what he was hiding.
Li Beinian shook her head."I'm not afraid."
In her past life and present life...
She owed him too much.
It was time to return the favor.
"You're regretting it." Mu Xichen pulled up the zipper again and sat up straight.
Li Beinian was dumbfounded. She completely did not expect Mu Xichen to stop at this time.
She reached out to hold him and said seriously, "I really don't regret it."
Mu Xichen looked at her quietly and deeply.
For some reason, Li Beinian suddenly let go of his hand.
Mu Xichen stood up and said faintly, "Rest early."
When his words fell, he started to walk towards the door.
Li Beinian panicked and immediately stood up."Where are you going?"
"Home."
"You're deserting me, " Li Beinian said resolutely as she sat up and started laughing at herself."So everything you said previously about liking me and having strong feelings for me is just a lie?"
A sour feeling emerged in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Beinian took a deep breath, held back her tears, and said slowly, "What you like is just the thrill of competing against Mu Donglin."
Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes and looked back.
Li Beinian smirked sarcastically."So now that Mu Donglin and I are over, I have no value to you anymore. You aren't even bothering to continue the act, right?"
Mu Xichen's heart sank and he tightened his already clenched fists.
"You said it earlier." Li Beinian seemed to mutter to herself, but she seemed to be looking forward."I wanted to cancel this engagement a long time ago and you said that I would accommodate you, so why spend so much effort making such a huge sacrifice?"
From the moment she reincarnated, she already knew what she wanted to do.
She didn't plan on being with Mu Donglin for a long time, and Mu Xichen's appearance only strengthened her will.
However, she always thought that Mu Xichen was serious about her.
She thought that they could have a strong relationship and finally be together openly after she ended her engagement with Mu Donglin.
She wouldn't have to do something against her conscience or be criticized by thousands of people.
However, now, she finally understood.
Mu Donglin did everything possible to go against Mu Xichen, so how could it be that Mu Xichen didn't do the same?
As for her, she was just a chess piece in their game.
When everything came to an end, she suddenly realized her position in this three-person relationship.
It was so tragic...
Li Beinian mocked herself and said grimly, "You said that you liked me, but your words mean nothing, right?"
When her soft words fell, there was no response.
The beer foam in her glass kept bubbling. Eventually, it would disappear and reveal what was truly hidden beneath it.
Li Beinian retracted her gaze and stared at him.
When she saw that his face did not seem troubled at all, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
The overwhelming reality seemed to hit her. She picked up the empty beer bottle and hurled it at him as she shouted, "Get lost!"
Bam!
The beer bottle hit the cabinet behind him and shattered into pieces on the ground. The fragments scattered around with the remaining liquid as the bottle's lowly life ended.
