Chapter 348 - Almost… Went All the Way

In the clear water, their slender figures could be seen.

Li Beinian was focused on their bodies and subconsciously looked at the small island in the distance.

On the edge of the island, there were two flags: A black and a white one.

The rules were very simple. The first one who took the flag back and inserted it in the designated sandpile would win.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So Brother Donglin hated Mu Xichen from a young age.” Lin Kerou’s was soft but cold. “I also hate him very much because he’s arrogant and selfish.”

Li Beinian came back to reality and looked at her.

Lin Kerou seemed to sneer. “Do you really think Brother Donglin likes you? Stop dreaming. He just thinks that Mu Xichen likes you and wants to compete with Mu Xichen.”

“Haha.”

That was why no matter how many mistakes she made in the past and how bad her reputation was, he never once wanted to break the engagement?

He would rather marry her, never touch her, give her the silent treatment, and let her be his wife in name forever.

Therefore, although he married her, Lin Kerou was still devoted to him.

It was all because of Mu Xichen?

No, it couldn’t be!

In her past life, she didn’t know Mu Xichen. This reason was illogical...

No, it couldn’t be again!

Scenes of her with him flashed in her mind sometimes. They seemed to be very familiar.

Could it really be because of this?

It was all vague in her memory after she was hit by a car.

However, that car accident... did not take up much of her time.

She remembered many things in those five years...

Li Beinian started to frown. Her thoughts were in a mess.

Seeing her expression, Lin Kerou thought that she was unhappy and continued, “Brother Donglin is a very good person. He has loved me since the very start.”

Looking up, Li Beinian saw Lin Kerou’s indulgent face.

“We grew up together. I know about his thoughts the best. You don’t know right...” Lin Kerou was a little embarrassed. “When we were in college, we were drunk once and almost... went all the way. Except for the final step, we have done everything else.

“However, I was not ready to give him my body at that time. He really respected me. We were ready to wait until our wedding day to do what we were going to do that night.”

Li Beinian scoffed. “So?”

“That’s why I hope that you can be more realistic. There are some things you can’t get no matter how hard you imagine them,” Lin Kerou said coldly. “He loves me and he will always like me. Even if you’re his fiancèe, you will just be his wife in name.”

Haha...

Li Beinian did not know how to respond.

“Oh?” Li Beinian smiled brightly. “Is that true? Well... I have something to tell you too.”

Under the blazing sun, Li Beinian’s smile was particularly dazzling.

Li Beinian leaned over slightly and whispered, “Actually, I have no interest in Mu Donglin at all.”

Lin Kerou was startled. She turned to look at her incredulously.

Li Beinian smiled brightly. “However, I’m happy to lead him on and let him fall in love with me so that I have him wrapped around my finger.”

Lin Kerou was triggered. “You...”

“Hush...” Li Beinian put a finger to her mouth. “We’re all adults. I know about your affair with Mu Donglin. Honestly, I like to see the way you scramble knowing you can’t get what you want.”

Lin Kerou was short of breath and furious. “Are you playing with Brother Donglin’s feelings?”

“Uh-huh.” Li Beinian smiled triumphantly. “What are you going to do about it?”

Lin Kerou was so angry that she raised her hand and furiously swung it at her face.

Before her palm touched her face, she saw a smile on Li Beinian’s lips.

Before she knew it, she gave herself a tight slap.

Bam—

The crisp sound overwhelmed Lin Kerou.
