"I've forgotten when we decided to be together and how we met. I've even forgotten how it was that I slept with you and got pregnant with your twins."
Mu Xichen's eyes lit up as he tightened his grip on her hand. "Are you pregnant?"
His words stunned her for a moment.
Then she got over the shock and pushed him away, saying, "I'm talking about the dream."
"Oh." Mu Xichen looked a little disappointed.
Li Beinian looked at him and raised her hand to touch his face. She said slowly, "Ah Chen, in my dream the twins never came into this world."
Mu Xichen looked at her intently.
"They were unfortunate and died along with me, when I was abandoned in a disused warehouse…" This light in Li Beinian's eyes quivered as she spoke these words with no uncertainty. "I could clearly feel that I was bleeding, but no one came to save me as I bled to death."
Li Beinian's eyes reddened and her voice choked.
