Feeling completely helpless, Mu Xichen wiped away her tears and said, "Be good now and stop crying."
Li Beinian couldn't help but sob. She grabbed his shirt and buried her face in his chest. "There's nothing good about me…"
He hugged her and said seriously, "You're good in every way."
She leaned into him and cried even harder.
Mu Xichen picked her up in his arms and said teasingly. "Fortunately, we haven't gone to Tongzhou. Otherwise, you'd have scared them to death."
Li Beinian choked and hit him as she buried her head into his chest again.
His lips turned upwards in a smile as he carried her up the stairs.
From the basement to the third floor, he walked up the stairs with her in his arms.
She turned sideways and looked beyond the spiral stairway, at their home that Mu Xichen had so meticulously decorated.
Yes, home.
Their home.
Only by being with him could she have… a home.
