Chapter 440: Apply a Little Force, She’d Submit

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.”

Her eyes widened. “You’d really have killed me?”

Mu Xichen was silent for a moment before replying, “I’ve asked Ah Ye to move the stuff from Qing Shui Fu to our new home. From now on, we will live in Tai Chen Prefecture.”

“Tai Chen Prefecture?”

Li Beinian repeated the name. She began to recall now.

Tai Chen Prefecture was going to be a well-known upper-class villa prefecture in Guang City in a few years.

There were mountains in the background and ocean all around. The scenery was awesome.

Remembering it now, she was secretly surprised.

She cast him a sidelong glance and asked, “Is this Shangzhi’s property too?”

“Uh-huh,” Mu Xichen replied. “It hasn’t been launched publicly for sale. We’re the first batch of residents.”

“Oh...” Li Beinian felt as though she was in a dream as she gave the man a startled look. “Is this really your company?”

He smiled when he saw her expression and said, “My business license is in the document folder.”

“My god!” She covered her mouth with the marriage certificates. But immediately, she snapped out of her surprise and insisted, “No, don’t you change the topic. You haven’t answered my question!”

Mu Xichen was even more amused now. “I have. I told you it’s my company.”

“No, not this question!” Li Beinian reminded him. “If I hadn’t agreed to marry you, would you really have killed me?”

“Oh.” The man studied the traffic condition ahead as he drove on steadily. He paused for a moment before answering, “I don’t know.”

Indeed, he was quite adamant at that point.

If he didn’t force her to marry him, she would never be his.

But even though he had forced her...

He did it with the consideration that she did like him.

He knew that if he’d just apply a little force, she’d submit.

There was truth in what Jiang Yeqing had said.

It didn’t matter if her heart was set on him, but if she were to become his woman, she’d not run away.

However, where her question was concerned, it wasn’t something that he had thought about much before.

Would he have killed her?

For sure, he wouldn’t have been able to bring himself to do that.

But would he have let her go?

He would have been most unwilling.

Mu Xichen had no idea what the outcome would have been if he had to answer that question.

Obviously, Li Beinian wasn’t pleased with this sort of answer, but when she saw his expression, she knew he could be speaking the truth.

She thought for a moment and asked again, “Where did you get my account book?”

That was a much easier question to answer.

He said without hesitating, “I went to Qianzhou and got it from Grandpa.”

“How would Grandpa have given that to you!” She refused to believe him.

Mu Xichen said seriously, “That’s a secret between Grandpa and I. I can’t tell you.”

She insisted angrily, “I’m sure you told Grandpa some sort of lie so that he’d hand the account book over to you!”

“I didn’t.” Mu Xichen was obviously gleeful. “Grandpa knew what I wanted to do and gave it to me.”
