This answer caused Dylan to be even more taken aback. He looked at Nico and asked weakly, “So you have no intentions of taking her home to acknowledge her roots?”
Every member of the Rothschild family bore a certain responsibility.
Because the Rothschild family was too big, some rights naturally couldn’t be given to outsiders and had to be internalized.
However, in the last two generations of the Rothschild family, the number of offspring had dwindled. Gradually, some of the marginal assets had to be released to outsiders.
The Rothschild family mainly controlled some core businesses.
However, as the number of potential successors in the main bloodline decreased, the people in the extended bloodline inevitably became restless.
Robor Rothschild was a classic example.
Of course, there were many such people in a family like the Rothschild.
The parasites had to be removed bit by bit. Now that Robor had reared his head, he could hardly blame others for making an example out of him.
Nico looked towards Dylan and said, “She’s already acknowledged her roots. As for whether she wishes to inherit the family assets, that’s not something you should worry about.”
Dylan knew that he had crossed the line and did not speak further.
He turned to look in Li Beinian’s direction. The young couple was sitting across from each other, happily eating the food cooked by the husband. The girl looked content, while the man appeared quite serious. However, the faint smile on his lips was a hint to how he was feeling.
It was a picture of pure bliss!
Except that Dylan didn’t understand them at all.
He knew very well how capable this man was.
Usually, the more capable a person, the more ambitious they would be.
The Rothschild family had businesses all over the world. Even a small bonus every year was a shocking amount.
Was Mu Xichen not tempted at all?
It was said that Miss Beinian was already with this man before Sir found her. So this might be true love after all.
But even true love would be tainted when external benefits e into the picture.
Dylan didn’t for a moment believe that the man could maintain his original intentions in the face of such a huge temptation.
Dylan was certain that even if the man didn’t covet anything from the Rothschild family in the past, as time passed and their feelings of pure love faded, this would definitely change.
It was only after a long time afterwards that Dylan would be secretly glad that he had not said these words aloud. Otherwise, it would have been a slap in the face.
Li Beinian quickly ate and drank her fill. Then she yawned and wanted to get ready for bed.
Mu Xichen refused to let her go, however. He picked her up and forced her to go outside for a little exercise.
Finally, under Li Beinian’s pitiful whining, the man gave in and held her hand as they walked out the door. After strolling for fifteen minutes, they returned to their home.
Along the way, Li Beinian pouted in annoyance.
However, once she got home, she took off her shoes and skipped her way to the third floor to take a shower.
Mu Xichen followed closely behind and nagged with a tone of resignation, “Slow down.”
Li Beinian snorted loudly and got her pajamas. After taking a quick shower, she came out and shoved Mu Xichen into the bathroom.
The man had had an exhausting day. After he came out of the shower, he laid down beside Li Beinian.
She was already sleeping like a piglet, with her body turned towards the left and one arm on top of the other. Her thighs were wrapped around the blanket, and perhaps being too tired, she was snoring lightly.
Mu Xichen adjusted her sleeping posture and covered her with the blanket. He put his arms around her and fell asleep very quickly.
The man had cultivated a good habit from a young age.
He would never let his imagination run wild, so he had always been a light sleeper and seldom had dreams.
However, on this particular night, he had a dream.
