Chapter 453 They're getting married
After the private investigator left, Mu Xiaoyu started drawing. So much had happened lately, and she had used up all the drafts she had saved up. If she didn't start drawing today, she would have to stop updating.
Mu Xiaoyu's career is now taking off, and if she were to stop updating during this upward trend, it would be a significant loss for her.
There will be many more places where money will be needed in the future, and even while busy with these things, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't want to neglect her work at all.
Mu Xiaoyu currently has two very popular comics. However, including her previous works, she has always followed the suspense and crime style. Apart from a portion of new readers, most of her readers are her long-time, highly engaged readers.
However, these long-time readers will eventually experience aesthetic fatigue after reading so many of her previous suspense comics, and she must try to transform and draw new types of comics before that happens.
In Mu Xiaoyu's view, now is the time for her to start trying to gradually transform her career.
The comic she's currently working on is in its mid-stages, and the serialization will likely end around the middle of this year. So right now, besides stockpiling manuscripts, she also needs to plan the outline for her new book, communicate with the comic book publisher, and start stockpiling manuscripts in advance.
Mu Xiaoyu stayed in her study from morning till night, saving up manuscripts. She would sit there for almost the entire day, and even when she ate, she would just eat some biscuits to fill her stomach.
If Li Chenxu had seen her like this before, he would have been angry.
At that time, no matter how urgent the manuscript was, she would stop writing and try to please Li Chenxu, apologizing and admitting her mistakes.
Thinking about it, it seems like only a few months have passed since the last time it happened. It hasn't been that long, but now she feels a little unaccustomed to it.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at the empty study. It was already evening, but the curtains weren't drawn. Through the dim light from outside, she could see the brightly lit villa across the street. It seemed a family lived there. At this hour, the villa's owner seemed to have just returned home from get off work. Mu Xiaoyu could vaguely see the children inside, playing happily with their parents. The family interacted simply, yet the atmosphere was exceptionally warm and homey.
It was very heartwarming and made me very happy.
Mu Xiaoyu had been living in this villa alone for almost half a month. She had never felt lonely or desolate before, but at this moment, she experienced true loneliness for the first time.
She stared blankly at the empty study, lost in thought. After a long while, she pursed her lips, took out her phone, and dialed Li Chenxu's number.
The phone rang for only a few seconds before being answered, and at the same time, Li Chenxu's slightly indifferent voice came from the other end of the line.
"Mu Xiaoyu? Why are you calling at this hour?"
"Li Chenxu, I'm injured."
Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. She had only intended to hear Li Chenxu's voice, but somehow, what came out of her mouth was like this.
At this point, it was clearly impossible to take back what had been said...
Li Chenxu on the other end of the phone didn't know what was going on either, and didn't speak for a while before lowering his voice to ask, "What happened? Where are you injured?"
"I don't know, but I feel very uncomfortable and upset."
Noticing that Li Chenxu's voice had softened slightly, Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously spoke. Her tone was completely different from when she had gone to find Li Chenxu before; it carried a hint of coquettishness, as if they were still together.
"Xiaoyu, you need to see a doctor right now and get a checkup to find out what's wrong with your body. If there are any problems, go to Song Yin; she'll be with you."
After another moment of silence, Li Chenxu finally spoke. At the end, as if he was hesitating about something, he said after a long while, "I am currently discussing my marriage with Bai Luo at the Bai family. It is really impossible between us. You should not come to see me again."
Mu Xiaoyu never expected that Li Chenxu would say such things to her at this time. More importantly, he had just said that he wanted to marry Bai Luo.
Mu Xiaoyu suspected she had misheard, and for a long time she couldn't utter a single word. It felt as if something was blocking her throat, neither coming up nor going down, but like a fishbone stuck in her throat, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Li Chenxu, repeat what you just said. You better not lie to me, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, her lips trembled, and her eyes stung with tears, as if she were about to burst into them. But she didn't cry; how could she cry at a time like this?
Even at this point, my previously firm beliefs began to waver.
If Bai Luo and Li Chenxu were really just putting on an act, would they really need to go all the way to marriage?
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was completely dazed, and she couldn't even hear what Li Chenxu was saying afterward. She hung up the phone in a daze and sat blankly in her seat, her mind filled with images of her, Bai Luo, and Li Chenxu together, as well as the photos that Song Yin had given her.
She asked Bai Luo and Li Chenxu, but they gave different answers. Especially Li Chenxu, who is such a thoughtful person, if he really cared about Bai Luo, he couldn't possibly forget the time they spent together.
And Bai Luo too, the way she looked at her and the things she said, it all seemed like she was deliberately hiding something from her.
It was because of the two people's behavior and the answers they gave her that she was so certain that the affair between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu was fake.
But if it's really fake, will they get married?
Mu Xiaoyu stood up unsteadily. She had originally planned to draw a little longer that night to finish all the manuscripts for next week, but now she couldn't draw anymore.
She had previously said that love wasn't everything in life, but now that she heard with her own ears that Li Chenxu might marry a woman from ITA, Mu Xiaoyu felt like her heart was about to break.
How could Li Chenxu, that bad person, bully her like this?
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know how she ended up in bed or how she fell asleep. Her mind was a jumbled mess, leaving her with no energy to care about anything else.
So much so that she was completely unaware when Li Chenxu arrived at the villa.
When Li Chenxu arrived, an hour had passed. Mu Xiaoyu was lying on the bed with wet tear stains on her face. She was not a person who cried much, but now she was crying like this, which showed how much Li Chenxu's words had hurt her.
