Novel Bin Chapter 8 - Dear, Let’s Get Married
She was sure as hell that Shen Zichen disagreed with her and would try to change her mind. He\'d been reminding her for weeks to prioritize her health and pregnancy and just leave Mu Jianyu if he couldn\'t come back to his senses.
He had a point but Li Xiuying wasn\'t ready to divorce Mu Jianyu yet, not until she\'d made him pay for his sins.
"So what\'s your plan? I assume you won\'t be coming back here?" Shen Zichen asked her. He gave Li Xiuying\'s place one last look before turning away. He went back to his car and drove away from the apartment complex. Since she wasn\'t there, there was no point for him to wait.
"I\'ll have to fix the mess he left in the company first, then we\'ll see if he will repent." She told him. Then what? She questioned herself. Would she be able to forgive him if he confesses his sins and repents? Could she really treat this as a bad chapter in their marriage life?
"Ying, please don\'t tell me you\'re thinking of accepting him back." Shen Zichen asked her in disbelief.
A husband should protect his wife and shouldn\'t hurt her physically or emotionally. He\'d warned Mu Jianyu before that he would be the first one to beat him if Li Xiuying shed tears because of him and now, Shen Zichen\'s fists were really itching to teach the bastard a lesson he would never forget.
When Li Xiuying didn\'t answer him, he was sure that she was considering saving her marriage.
"Ying, you shouldn\'t underestimate a man\'s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes. The only mistake you made was trusting him too much, and he has proven that he doesn\'t deserve it at all!"
Xiuying was precious to him and Yuyan. Shen Zichen had always prided himself for being accurate in his deductions but not this time. His logical mind knew at once that Mu Jianyu had betrayed Li Xiuying.
At first, he couldn\'t believe that Mu Jianyu would treat Xiuying this way. That he easily discarded the years of marriage he shared with Li Xiuying for a shallow woman like Lin Meirong. For him, it was like Mu Jianyu had thrown away a precious diamond for a worthless pebble. Cheating on a good woman was like choosing trash over treasure.
"Then what\'s wrong with me? Am I not good enough? Is that it, Zichen? Am I not good enough for him to seek another woman\'s company?" These were the questions that had been plaguing her since she discovered her husband\'s affair.
Shen Zichen shook his head. He had heard several stories of affairs from his colleagues before and one thing for sure, when a man cheats it wasn\'t caused by his woman\'s inadequacy, it\'s because he puts lust and greed before love.
"It\'s NOT your fault, Ying."
How could she blame herself like this? It pained him to see how Li Xiuying was destroying herself because of that cheating bastard.
Li Xiuying was the sweetest and most gentle woman he\'d known. How could someone hurt her like this? Did Mu Jianyu hit his head or something?
"I don\'t know, Zichen. I really don\'t know," Li Xiuying admitted. Night hadn\'t come yet but she was already tired. Even if it was due to her pregnancy, she wasn\'t sure if that\'s the only cause.
After hanging up on Shen Zinchen, she succumbed to a deep slumber. Not only was she physically restless but her heart and soul needed some peace. Tears slipping from her eyes as she dreamt of the happy memories she shared with her husband.

While Li Xiuying cried in her sleep, Mu Jianyu spent his time with his lover. He surely didn\'t waste time after leaving his wife to seek Lin Meirong.
In a dimly lit luxurious bedroom, a man and a woman were engrossed in the middle of their lovemaking on a king-sized bed. The room, the bed and the sheets they were reeked with the scent of their lovemaking.
The silent room reverberated with the sound of his name, the woman beneath him screaming his name in the throes of passion. The man had hungrily ripped her dress revealing the luscious body to his lustful eyes. His hard member slammed inside of her, his thrusts hard and fast while his lover cried out his name as he brought them to the pinnacle of their pleasure.
Once they were done, Lin Meirong snuggled next to him. He reveled in the fact that he would be free from Li Xiuying soon and would be free to be with his lover anytime he wished.
Mu Jianyu felt that it had been too long since he felt this full and sated. It was something that he couldn\'t feel with his own wife. No, he corrected himself. His ex-wife. Li Xiuying had no other choice but to give him his freedom. She loved him, didn\'t she? So if she really loves him, she\'ll let him go and let him be happy by Lin Meirong\'s side.
"Dear, once my divorce finalized, let\'s get married," he whispered in Lin Meirong\'s ear.
The woman sat up and stared at him wide-eyed. She couldn\'t believe that she was so lucky. Mu Jianyu was the best lover she had for years and no one was comparable to him.
"Are you sure? But what if she decides to give us a hard time? Also, my career is just starting to get better. I don\'t think I\'m ready yet."
As much as she wanted to marry him, Lin Meirong also knew this wasn\'t the best time for her to settle down. She hadn\'t reached the peak of her career and had no plans to become a boring wife as Li Xiuying was after marriage.
Wasn\'t that the reason why Mu Jianyu grew tired of his wife? Lin Meirong refused to suffer the same fate.
"You don\'t want to?" Mu Jianyu raised a brow on her. He thought that she\'d be jumping for joy now that he could be with her. They didn\'t need to hide their relationship any longer once Li Xiuying signed the divorce papers.
"If you\'re worried about your career, why don\'t we keep our marriage a secret? You can still do whatever you want and fulfil your dreams." His hands reached out and gently touched her cheek. "I\'ll always be with you whatever happens. As for Li Xiuying, you know how I feel about her."
Such sweet words could move any woman if heard from their beloved\'s lips. How could she say no to his proposal when everything she was looking for in a man, she found in Mu Jianyu.
His tone when he talked about his wife was full of disdain like he didn\'t want to be associated with Li Xiuying anymore. In his eyes, Li Xiuying was someone who stood and obstructed the only way for him to be happy.
Such a perfect man, Lin Meirong thought. Why should the boring and \'perfect\' woman like Li Xiuying have him? She was better than that stupid woman. Even if she did have to climb on Mu Jianyu\'s bed to seduce him and snatch him from Li Xiuying\'s hands, Lin Meirong didn\'t care.
"You promise?" Lin Meirong crawled on his lap and wound her arms around his shoulder, her bountiful chest pressed against his.
Her actions successfully caught his attention again, his lust returning at full force. His hand roamed on her curves before pressing her back on the bed below him to take her once again.
"I promise. You\'re my one and only,"
