<h4>Chapter 254: All My Firsts Were with You</h4>


    Give it a shot... at being together?


    Li Beinian’s heart skipped a beat.


    Everything came to a standstill, except for him and her.


    The air-conditioner in the car didn’t seem to be working at all! Li Beinian could feel the warmth Mu Xichen emanated.


    It was so clear, so... appealing.


    Being together... with him...


    “I...”


    Li Beinian stiffened as she looked up into his eyes.


    Mu Xichen steadied her as he watched her with eyes that could almost melt anything in his view.


    Li Beinian’s mind was in a whirl as she lost the ability to think rationally.


    But deep inside a voice yelled: No!


    She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before finally saying, “No...”


    We can’t! We aren’tpatible!


    When she reopened her eyes, she tried to evade his nce.


    She changed her words right before uttering them. “I feel that this is... too sudden...”


    “It isn’t sudden.” Mu Xichen looked at her calmly. “I like you a lot.”


    It was a pure and simple confession that made Li Beinian blush even more. She struggled a little as she said, “Could you... let me go first?”


    Mu Xichen did not move. His arm was still ced firmly around her waist.


    Li Beinian got a little more serious. “You’re making me ufortable.”


    Mu Xichen saw that she looked trapped and about to escape.


    He rxed his grip but did not release herpletely.


    Seeing her reddened face, he quietly said, “You want me.”


    “All my firsts... were with you.” He seemed to be getting calctive. “That counts for something.”


    He sounded so serious, it was making Li Beinian all the more uneasy.


    “You... what firsts!” Li Beinian rebutted. “I’m the one at a disadvantage. In the past life, I gave you my first kiss, my first night, everything! And what did I end up with!”


    Mu Xichen asked, “What do you mean?”


    Li Beinian immediately realized she had said the wrong thing and stopped.


    Her heart pumped wildly as she looked at him with some nervousness.


    She actually leaked it...


    But since she had already said it, she might as well set her heart to it.


    There was no good in getting together with him at all.


    In herst life, Mu Xichen was executed with a shot to the head.


    She had been kidnapped and left to die tragically in an abandoned factory.


    The two adorable kids that should have been born ended up dying with her, with nobody to clear their bodies.


    She suddenly felt a wave of calmness and consciousness wash over her.


    But her heart was hurting.


    Li Beinian looked at him and pushed him away forcefully. “Mu Xichen, we aren’tpatible.”


    Mu Xichen suddenly realized that she was being serious.


    “Why?”


    This wasn’t supposed to happen.


    Li Beinian looked at him, her heart feeling more hollow than ever. “I have a fiancé, and you’re Mu Donglin’s brother. Nothing good wille out of this.”


    Mu Xichen’s expression darkened as he recalled thest time Li Beinian uttered in a daze: Donglin, don’t...
