Chapter 665: The Villain Accuses First

Mu Xiaoyu, however, seemed immune to these words. Upon hearing them, the corners of her lips turned up, her mouth stretched wide, but the expression slowly turned into one of sarcasm and mockery.

"I'll do anything you ask? But what can I do? I don't care anymore. Li Chenxu, haven't I given you a chance? Let me tell you this: I like it when you care about me. No matter what happens, I can calm down and solve it properly. I'll listen to your explanation if there's a misunderstanding. But now, I'm completely disappointed in you. Completely disappointed, you understand? So, I don't want to hear your explanation now, and I don't want to see you."

"If you don't want things to fall apart between us, you'd better leave now, understand?"

Mu Xiaoyu spoke at length, her expression remaining virtually unchanged. Her eyes held only mockery and sarcasm, showing almost no trace of sadness. It was as if, this time, she truly didn't care anymore.

Li Chenxu took in the look in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, and a bitter feeling immediately spread through his own.

Isn't Mu Xiaoyu's current state exactly what he predicted?

Since you've already deceived them, shouldn't you bear all the consequences?

Thinking of this, Li Chenxu suppressed all the bitterness in his heart. He forced himself to appear calm and held Mu Xiaoyu's hand in return: "But what if I don't want to leave? Xiaoyu, since you don't want to listen to my explanation, then tell me, why are you so angry?"

"You don't know yet?"

Mu Xiaoyu was genuinely surprised. Seeing the doubt in Li Chenxu's eyes, which seemed real, she said with a slightly stern face, "My current state isn't just because you lied to me. More importantly, it's about your dirty affair with Xu Sulin. Li Chenxu, this is the first time I've ever found you so disgusting."

The moment the word "disgusting" left his lips, Li Chenxu's entire expression changed. If before it was filled with anger, helplessness, and bitterness, now it was like that of a pitiful person, riddled with wounds.

But who is hurting whom?

If the two of them had been honest with each other from the beginning, would things have turned out differently?

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

"I never expected you to think of me that way."

Li Chenxu spoke in a hoarse voice, much more so than before, perhaps due to the restraint of his emotions, and even a hint of sob in his voice.

Mu Xiaoyu suspected she was hallucinating, so she couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu a few more times. To her surprise, she saw tears in Li Chenxu's eyes.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She couldn't help but wipe her eyes, and when she looked at Li Chenxu again, he looked just like he was about to cry, just like before.

It was as if she had suffered a great injustice; he was clearly the one in the wrong, but now it seemed as if she was the one who was at fault.

Mu Xiaoyu felt increasingly uncomfortable. She admitted that she couldn't bear to see Li Chenxu looking so 'wronged'. If it were in the past, she might have felt heartbroken to see Li Chenxu with such an expression.

However, now, besides feeling heartache, I am also angry.

"If I don't think of you this way, how should I think of you? Li Chenxu, don't force me to say anything too harsh. I'm really annoyed by you right now!"

After she and Li Chenxu were truly together, Mu Xiaoyu told herself never to say anything too hurtful. She knew how damaging words could be, and Li Chenxu was the person she loved; she didn't want him to suffer such pain.

The repeated blows were almost too much for Li Chenxu to bear.

This man, who had never faced any storms before, almost dared not listen to what Mu Xiaoyu was about to say. He stood up unsteadily, forced a stiff smile, and said to Mu Xiaoyu, "I won't bother you now. Calm down first, and I'll come find you again when you've calmed down. Also, you're pregnant now, and I know that with your personality, you definitely won't stay with me after something like this. Don't go. I won't go back to the villa until you've completely calmed down. Just stay there and rest."

After saying these words, Li Chenxu gave Mu Xiaoyu a deep look, then turned and left with reluctance and bitterness.

Mu Xiaoyu watched Li Chenxu's departing figure with calm eyes. The conference room was made of glass, and Mu Xiaoyu could see Li Chenxu from the moment he left until he got on the elevator.

A man who always stood incredibly straight, now had a slightly hunched back.

Upon seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly looked away.

She couldn't be soft-hearted; she hadn't done anything wrong. If Li Chenxu hadn't concealed it back then, they wouldn't have ended up like this. If anyone was to blame, it was Li Chenxu himself.

"Mrs. Li, we can sign the contract now. Do you have any questions about the contract I gave you before?"

At this moment, the company's general manager walked over and said to Mu Xiaoyu with a somewhat ingratiating smile.

The words "Mrs. Li" deeply stung Mu Xiaoyu's heart. No matter how much she tried to restrain herself, her expression couldn't help but darken: "Li Chenxu and I are divorced. Legally speaking, I have no relationship with him now."

The general manager's smile froze. He wanted to say something, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's unpleasant expression, he couldn't utter the rest of his words. He could only stammer, "It was my carelessness. Please don't be angry. As for the contract... what do you think?"

Even though Mu Xiaoyu said she had divorced Li Chenxu, they could all see clearly from outside the room how careful Li Chenxu was with her and how he tried to please her in the meeting room.

No matter what, Mu Xiaoyu is the apple of Li Chenxu's eye. So what if they're divorced? As long as Mu Xiaoyu is still the person Li Chenxu loves, they have to take good care of her.

With this in mind, the general manager became even more cautious in his attitude towards Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu felt irritated. Normally, she would put on a fake response in such situations. But now, she had no such inclination. Seeing this, she gave a cold "hmm," then took out the previous contract, signed her name, and stamped it.

"I have no problem with the contract. Once you've set the shooting schedule for the advertisement, just let my assistant know."

"Okay, okay, that's good. We'll see when it's convenient for Miss Mu to film the commercial. We're not in a rush here; any time is convenient for you."

The general manager spoke ingratiatingly to Mu Xiaoyu, signing the document as he spoke, and then handed one of the contracts to Mu Xiaoyu.

Compared to Mu Xiaoyu's attitude when she arrived, she has become much colder now because of Li Chenxu's appearance.

After accepting the contract, he gave a curt greeting to the general manager and left the meeting room immediately.
