It seemed that between both of them, he had the last say in everything.
Whether they should be together, whether they should get married. She didn't even have the right to object.
Now he had even prepared the new home, it only showed that he was the one who decided that they would be married.
The more Li Beinian thought about this, the unhappier she became. She spoke up, "Mu Xichen, I have a question for you."
"Ask away."
"What if I had not agreed to walk into the building with you, to marry you. What would you have done?"
The man, having just started the car, turned to look at her.
As their eyes made contact, she continued, "You couldn't possibly be serious about killing me?"
She didn't raise her voice, though he detected underlying unhappiness and suspicion.
He responded with a slight smile and asked casually, "What do you think?"
"Murder is a crime."
"I'm willing to pay for it with my life."
