Chapter 448: Doubt

Chapter 448: Doubt

Upon hearing this, Bai Luo's expression stiffened, and a moment of stunned silence appeared in her eyes. She stared blankly at Mu Xiaoyu, seemingly at a loss.

It was unclear what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking, but seeing Bai Luo like this, she didn't urge her. She leaned back, her posture becoming languid, as if she was prepared for a long battle and determined to hear Bai Luo's explanation.

"It's been too long, I don't remember."

After a long silence, Bai Luo finally spoke. Just like before, he didn't look Mu Xiaoyu in the eye.

As if she had expected Bai Luo to say that, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly laughed. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Bai Luo, saying, "Bai Luo, how much time has passed? Li Chenxu told me before that you two have only been together for less than two months. If you like Li Chenxu so much, how could you not remember him in such a short time?"

"I remember we've been together for two months, but I can't remember the exact date!"

This time, Mu Xiaoyu fell silent. The smile on her face faded slightly, replaced by a serious expression. She stared intently at Bai Luo, her eyes scrutinizing him.

The claim that Li Chenxu and Bai Luo had been together for two months was completely fabricated; it simply didn't happen.

Just like she said earlier, if she really liked Li Chenxu as much as Bai Luo said, she should remember the time she spent with Li Chenxu. Even if she couldn't remember the exact time, she should at least know the approximate time.

However, Bai Luo not only didn't know any of this, but also seemed guilty and evasive when answering.

There are only two possibilities for her acting like this: either the whole thing between her and Li Chenxu is a lie.

Or perhaps there's some other reason why she can't tell her this.

Although all of this was just Mu Xiaoyu's speculation, the scales in her heart had begun to tip toward the conclusion that the affair between Bai Luo and Li Chenxu was a lie.

"Sister Xiaoyu, I don't know why you're asking these questions. But whatever the reason, it's pointless for you to ask them now. I'm the one with Brother Chenxu now. Brother Chenxu said he would make it up to you, and we've already apologized to you. What's the point of you still bothering us?"

Bai Luo felt uneasy under Mu Xiaoyu's gaze. She bit her lip, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Mu Xiaoyu and said what she had said.

This is something Bai Luoke, who used to be as timid as a rabbit, wouldn't have said.

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh, but the laughter didn't reach her eyes; instead, it was tinged with coldness.

"Meaning? Of course I wouldn't ask you these questions for no reason. Bai Luo, don't worry, I will never take back what I don't want."

Mu Xiaoyu paused as she spoke, her gaze towards Bai Luo suddenly becoming somewhat complicated. After a few seconds, she continued, "I don't want to say anything more. I'll ask you one last question, Bai Luo, is there anything you and Li Chenxu are hiding from me?"

"no!"

Bai Luo answered immediately, her reply hurried, as if afraid that Mu Xiaoyu wouldn't believe her.

However, her actions aroused Mu Xiaoyu's suspicion.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze towards Bai Luo deepened. She stared at Bai Luo for a few seconds with half-closed eyes, then suddenly stood up and left without saying a word.

She didn't stay at the Bai family's house for long, less than half an hour, when she ran into Bai Ye, who had just returned, as she was leaving.

Seemingly surprised that Mu Xiaoyu would come to the Bai family again, Bai Ye was momentarily stunned for a few seconds when he saw her come out: "Miss Mu? What brings you here?"

"I need to speak with Bai Luo about something."

Mu Xiaoyu stopped in front of Bai Ye, looking at him openly. It was especially important not to panic in situations like this, otherwise it would only arouse suspicion.

"About Li Chenxu?"

"Well, I was still a little unwilling to give up, so I came here."

This time, Mu Xiaoyu lowered her eyes as she spoke, gave a self-deprecating laugh, a bitter smile that actually made it seem quite convincing.

Upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu's expression, Bai Ye immediately frowned. He disliked Li Chenxu; from any perspective, he had never liked him. Especially now that Mu Xiaoyu clearly still harbored feelings for Li Chenxu, he disliked him even more.

"Xiaoyu, I don't know why you still have hope for Li Chenxu even now. I think you've seen those reports about Bai Luo and him. Even after all this, you still have hope for him. Have you forgotten what kind of person you were before?"

The real Mu Xiaoyu, no matter how much she likes someone, will turn around and leave without hesitation if that person betrays her, just like when she first separated from Li Chenxu, at least on the surface she will not have any lingering feelings.

Mu Xiaoyu knew what kind of person she was, and she knew that her personality would never allow her to go back to an ex. But when it comes to acting, she had to go all the way, otherwise how could she make the other party believe her?

So at this moment, Mu Xiaoyu kept her head down and didn't say anything. She had been injured just a few days ago, and today, in such hot weather, she was wearing so many clothes, which made her look even more pitiful and heartbreaking.

Looking at Mu Xiaoyu like this, Bai Ye couldn't utter the rest of the words he wanted to say.

He looked at Mu Xiaoyu, and finally sighed heavily, saying, "I know you must be feeling bad, but Bai Luo and Li Chenxu have already done this. Even if you come again, it won't make a difference. On the contrary, it will only make Li Chenxu look down on you."

"I just want to find out what really happened. Don't worry, I'm not that shameless."

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Bai Ye and gave him a forced smile.

"Where are you going now? I'll take you."

Mu Xiaoyu was planning to go find Li Chenxu, but if Bai Ye really followed, things wouldn't be so convenient.

Hearing this, she shook her head, feigning sadness and disappointment, and said to him, "I want to take a walk by myself, I don't need you to take me. You must have something to do back at this time, you go in first, I have a car, I can go back by myself."

"But……"

Bai Ye seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, seeing Mu Xiaoyu's determined look, he swallowed his words and instead said, "Alright, be careful on your own. Call me if anything happens."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child. I'm an adult. What could possibly happen to me? I'll be going now, so I won't take up any more of your time."

Mu Xiaoyu smiled at Bai Ye, then turned and got into the car. But the smile vanished the moment she turned.
