“A million yuan and I’ll guarantee that your wife and child will be safe!”
The murderous and villainous voice sounded in the empty and abandoned warehouse.
The shackled Li Beinian listened to the man with a fearful expression. As she was carrying twins, her stomach was already significantly larger and her bump was much rounder compared to other expectant mothers.
“I’m sorry, the CEO is currently unavailable,” the voice answered politely but coldly.
Not expecting to receive such an answer, the kidnapper barked in disbelief, “Are you still confused about what is going on? I have abducted Mu Donglin’s wife!”
“I’m sorry, the CEO is currently unavailable.”
The call abruptly ended.
Upon hearing the reply, tears welled up in Li Beinian’s eyes and she shook her head profusely in disbelief as she leaned against the wall.
It can’t be, it can’t be!
He is the father of our children and also my husband!
That cannot be what Mu Donglin thinks. Impossible!
“Ah!”
Li Beinian burst into tears and was at a complete loss for words.
She opened her mouth to reveal the emptiness inside. Her tongue had been removed long ago.
The kidnapper gritted his teeth angrily and slapped Li Beinian forcefully. He hollered, “Damned mute! How did I end up kidnapping a worthless piece of garbage like you after putting in so much effort.”
She bent forward clumsily and fell on her stomach, after which she was overwhelmed with an excruciating pain.
Li Beinian turned pale and began quivering uncontrollably.
“Happy birthday, Niannian, I love you forever, my Niannian… ”
It was the alluring ringtone of Mu Donglin’s singing which she had recorded and saved on her mobile phone.
However, it sounded rather ironic at this moment.
The kidnapper picked up the phone excitedly, only to realize that it was an incoming video call. He then immediately faced the camera towards Li Beinian before yelling from behind, “Mu Donglin, you… ”
“I’m not Mu Donglin.”
A woman answered in a tender voice.
She was exceptionally beautiful and her features were flawless.
Lin Kerou!
She was Mu Donglin’s childhood sweetheart and longtime crush!
Lin Kerou said apologetically, “Niannian, Brother Donglin is still in a conference and he has a multimillion-dollar project to handle. It’s very important. I’m sure you don’t want to affect Brother Donglin’s business, do you?”
Li Beinian smiled mirthlessly and thought to herself, It turned out the lives of her twins and herself were nothing compared to the project…
“By the way, I went to Emperor City today and bought some items for the nursery. Since I don’t know the gender of the child, we’ve decided to decorate two rooms. One will be themed around the color blue while the other will be themed around the color pink.”
Lin Kerou looked extremely gentle when she was speaking.
Li Beinian felt an acute pain in her stomach. However, her pale face turned a little more tender after hearing those words.
