“Wow!”
“This young man is special indeed. He has such an unique way of expressing his affection, how impressive.”
“Not only does he have an unique way of expressing sweet nothings, but he’s also an expert businessman. I bet you didn’t expect that after Leader Mu retired from the army, he went on to manage Shangzhi at such a young age. Furthermore, he’s the boss of Sheng An Entertainment. Even someone my age can’t compare!”
“Sigh, when I was his age, I only knew how to have fun.”
“He has a mind of his own. Stop comparing yourself to him. Can you even compare?”
The people started to chime in with flattering remarks to get into his good books.
Li Beinian loved hearing praises being sung of her man. The corners of her ruby lips curled upwards and her eyes were like little deepening crescents.
Mu Xichen’s behavior was rather unusual today. Occasionally, he’d even say a few words, which only encouraged the brown-nosers to intensify their efforts.
As Mu Donglin observed the few CEOs who were now openly sucking up to the man, he gave a strange laugh.
At the sound of this laughter, the few greasy middle-aged men suddenly fell into an awkward silence and finally started sipping their wine.
Although Mu Donglin laughed, he was expressionless, as if the sound was just a figment of the imagination.
Li Beinian narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Eldest Young Master Mu, here’s wishing you both a blissful marriage.”
“You’re too kind.” Mu Donglin looked at her with a flat expression. “I didn’t expect you to turn up.”
“Oh, so you were the one who sent the invitation?” Li Beinian smiled. “The invitation card was very nicely designed. Obviously this event is very important to you. I just saw that Miss Lin’s belly is rather obvious. I hear you’re having twins.”
Just like she did in her previous life.
They were all identical twins.
It was a pity though, her babies did not have a chance to see this world.
Mu Donglin replied, “Yes, twins.”
“Congratulations, you’ve been promoted to a husband and a father. It’s not easy.” Li Beinian glanced at Mu Xichen and lamented, “Eldest Young Master Mu’s children will be born next year. Let’s have one too.”
“Then let’s have triplets.” Mu Xichen put his arm around Li Beinian and said with a serious expression, as though unaware of the occasion and ignoring everything else that was going on around him. “We can’t lose at the starting line.”
“Get lost!” Li Beinian’s face turned red. “Twins are rare enough, you must be crazy to be thinking about triplets.”
“Don’t praise others and put yourself down.” Mu Xichen smiled and said in a lowered voice, “We can do it.”
“Oh my god, listen to this couple. It’s too much.”
“It’s good to be young. Triplets are much rarer than fraternal twins. Hahahaha, you and your wife have to work hard.”
“Not necessarily. It’s not like it has never happened. I heard that fraternal twins are conceived at different times. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have identical triplets, they will look exactly the same!”
“Yes, that’s right. When the babies grow a little older, you’ll be bringing three identical tots around. How adorable!”
Rap.
There was a dull cracking.
It was so soft one could hardly hear it, and it was hard to tell where it came from.
Li Beinian had a sharp sense of hearing. Upon noticing this sound, she subconsciously glanced over and realized that Mu Donglin’s crystal wine glass now sat twisted in his hand, and there was a hint of blood between his fingers.
He had actually crushed the glass!
