Chapter 571: Why Do I Feel Like Sister-in-law Has Become A Spirit!

Now, not only Mu Xichen, even Li Beinian wanted to give him a few kicks.

Gu Mingye chuckled. “Sister-in-law, I was just joking!”

Then, he leaned forward and said, “I heard from Boss that Sister-in-law, you’re too amazing. Can your dream tell me if I’ll end up marrying Sheng’er?”

Li Beinian looked at Gu Mingye’s radiant face, and her mind wandered to how his previous life had ended. She felt somewhat regretful.

But she saw the hope in his expression, and knew that Mu Xichen hadn’t told him.

She raised her eyebrow and asked, “What did he tell you?”

“Hey.” Gu Mingye put on a mysterious expression. “A lot. Boss trusts me more than anyone else. Back then, I was the one who came up with the codename 7740. However, only he and I know about it. How could you have dreamed of it?”

Gu Mingye deliberately dragged his tone and stroked his chin. “Did Boss accidentally talk in his sleep?”

“Does he talk in his sleep?” Li Beinian asked.

Gu Mingye thought about it and quickly said, “He didn’t in the past. However, ever since he rose through the military ranks, he has had his own residence and lived alone. So I don’t know about now.”

Li Beinian didn’t bother to beat around the bush. “7740 did appear in my dream, but it was mentioned by Mu Donglin.”

Gu Mingye was shocked. “Mu Donglin knows about it too?”

However, after asking this question, Gu Mingye immediately waved his hand and smiled. “That’s impossible.”

Li Beinian smiled at him meaningfully and said unhurriedly, “There’s no such thing as an absolute secret. Since it’s a secret, it should be kept a secret forever.”

Gu Mingye tensed up and was about to say something but Li Beinian had turned around and walked away.

Gu Mingye looked at Li Beinian’s back view and felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Mu Xichen and said, “Why do I feel that Sister-in-law has become a spirit?”

Immediately, another book was thrown at him.

After dinner, Gu Mingye tactfully helped with the dishes.

However, when he walked out of the kitchen after was.h.i.+ng the dishes and saw the couple huddled together on the sofa watching television, he stormed off in a huff.

Li Beinian naturally ignored the departure of Gu Mingye the gooseberry, and continued to stare at the tablet in Mu Xichen’s hand.

The tablet was playing a movie for which Liu Wei won the best supporting actress in Hollywood. It was a zombie movie.

Just as she was enjoying the show, her cell phone rang.

Her eyes refused to leave the tablet as she elbowed Mu Xichen.

With his long limbs, Mu Xichen reached for her phone with ease.

A rarely-seen name flashed on the incoming call screen: Li Haoran.

Li Beinian glanced at the name and sneered, “He must be calling about the Stinging Vine incident.”

Li Haoran had never liked her. He would rather channel all good resources to his stepdaughter, Li Xueqing, and not leave even a little for Li Beinian.

Li Beinian was used to it by now.

Fortunately, she had received so much cold treatment in her previous life that being treated this way now didn’t cause her to be too resentful.

She picked up the call as she laid languidly in Mu Xichen’s embrace. “h.e.l.lo?”

Her tone was lazy and slightly raised, like a poisonous hook, dangerous and charming.

Hearing this tone, Mu Xichen tightened his grip around her and moved her onto his lap.
