Chapter 549: Give Me an Explanation

Gu Yeqi rambled on and on, and even Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh, let alone the doctor.

She reached out and tugged at Gu Yeqi's clothes, and said with a smile, "Alright, stop asking. These are all old ailments of mine, and I need to take it slowly. There's no use rushing it now."

"But……"

Gu Yeqi was still worried, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's determined look, he could only give up in the end.

"Alright, you can go back now. It wouldn't be good if someone took pictures. My assistants will be here soon, and they'll take me home."

Gu Yeqi had already helped her enough, and Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to trouble him any further. More importantly, Gu Yeqi was, after all, a big star, and Mu Xiaoyu knew that if a celebrity of Gu Yeqi's age were to have a scandal, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.

Gu Yeqi was clearly reluctant, and he had something on his mind, so he was even more unwilling to leave.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sister Xiaoyu, are you... living with that person?"

Mu Xiaoyu naturally knew who Gu Yeqi was referring to. She hadn't expected him to ask this question so suddenly, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "I do live with him, but he's usually quite busy and doesn't come back to stay very often."

That's what he said, but Gu Yeqi was still worried. Especially tonight, the atmosphere between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu was really strange, and he was afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would suffer some grievances after returning home.

Seeing Gu Yeqi's expression, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and gently patted Gu Yeqi's shoulder, saying with a smile, "Alright, don't worry. I'm a grown-up, what can Li Chenxu do to me? Besides, couples always have their little arguments, they'll pass."

This is no small squabble, Gu Yeqi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Seeing the resolute expression on Mu Xiaoyu's face, Gu Yeqi didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Then I'll wait for your assistant to arrive before we talk."

Seeing his insistence, Mu Xiaoyu said nothing more. The two walked to the small garden outside the hospital and sat down, waiting for their respective assistants to come over.

Having been busy with all sorts of things lately, Mu Xiaoyu hadn't been able to sit down quietly like this for many days, gazing at the beautiful night view in the sky.

Or rather, even if she had the time, she probably wouldn't be in the mood to watch it.

The night view tonight is truly beautiful; countless stars dot the black night sky, making it look like a painting.

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at the sky above her head, and after a while, she suddenly said to Gu Yeqi, "Sometimes I feel quite relaxed, but no matter how relaxed I am, it's not as good as sitting down like this, looking at the people around me, the things around me, and the sky above my head. Actually, now that I think about it, before this, I spent too much time on my relationship with Brother Chen Xu, so much so that when things were almost resolved, I suddenly felt a bit lost and didn't know what to do."

Mu Xiaoyu paused here and suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh. She glanced at Gu Yeqi beside her and saw that he was listening to her intently. Her mood improved slightly, and she continued, "Actually, I've always been very lucky. Even though my parents are gone now, I still have friends who care about me. If Song Yin hadn't persuaded me to enter the entertainment industry back then, I'd probably still be drawing comics and daydreaming."

"Sister Xiaoyu..."

Gu Yeqi could tell that the incident at today's dinner party had greatly affected Mu Xiaoyu, and that Mu Xiaoyu was in a bad mood because of it. He wanted to comfort Mu Xiaoyu, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he didn't know how to say it.

His pursuit of Mu Xiaoyu was one thing, and his dislike of Li Chenxu was another. But regardless, the relationship between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu was a matter between the two of them, and no one else had any right to comment on it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yeqi's eyes darkened. He didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to see his inner disappointment, so he forced a smile and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you're actually doing very well as you are now. Although you may be physically busy most of the time, the psychological satisfaction is incomparable to anything else. After all, feelings are not everything in life. Before, your world only had that person, but now, it's time to add other things to your world."

Although Mu Xiaoyu now understands this principle, she still felt a bit conflicted when Gu Yeqi advised her like this.

See? Gu Yeqi, a child, sees things more clearly than she does.

Mu Xiaoyu felt much more at ease. Looking at the car driving towards them, she stood up and smiled at Gu Yeqi, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry. I'll be going now. We'll contact each other by phone if anything comes up."

"Then, Sister Xiaoyu, be careful."

Gu Yeqi was reluctant to part with Mu Xiaoyu, but Mu Xiaoyu had already exhausted herself recording the program today, and the fainting incident had left a deep shadow in Gu Yeqi's heart, so he didn't dare to delay Mu Xiaoyu's rest time and watched her leave.

Mu Xiaoyu arrived home more than half an hour later. She originally thought that after what happened tonight, Li Chenxu would not come back. But when she got home, she immediately saw Li Chenxu sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The housekeeper wasn't home, so it was just the two of them. The main lights weren't on; only some dim, yellowish lamps were lit.

Mu Xiaoyu looked towards the living room, where Li Chenxu sat almost motionless on the sofa. No lights were on in the living room; he was practically one with the darkness.

Mu Xiaoyu stood in the entryway, quietly watching Li Chenxu for a moment, unsure whether he was asleep or not. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to go over and greet him. She went upstairs barefoot, intending to rest.

"So you did come back after all."

Just then, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly heard Li Chenxu's voice. The voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of sarcasm.

The sound made Mu Xiaoyu pause. She didn't turn around, but kept her back to Li Chenxu and smiled: "How could I not know you were back? Gu Yeqi and I are completely innocent, and I hope President Li won't misunderstand. Besides... legally speaking, we are already divorced. Even if President Li wants to interfere with me, it seems he doesn't have any right to do so."
