As Li Beinian said this, she couldn't help looking around furtively.
She only dared to say it after making sure that no one else was around. And even then, she said it in a lowered voice.
Mu Xichen looked at the tips of her ears that had turned slightly red and couldn't help laughing. As though coaxing a child, he said most agreeably, "I have to behave myself then."
His attitude suddenly made Li Beinian feel that her dignity had been challenged. She straightened her posture and said fiercely, "If you were to do anything terrible behind my back, I shall not bear any children for you!"
"How do you define terrible?"
"For example, what happened previously!" The memory of it still made Li Beinian shudder in fear. "Anyway, whatever you do, let me know, and let me know that you're safe, alright? You really scared me the last time…"
Mu Xichen cupped her cheeks in his hands and said gently, "No, I promise."
