Chapter 353 Confession
“There are plenty of people who want to make a move against me, but since there wasn’t a suitable target before, they naturally didn’t dare to. Now that we’ve had those incidents happening one after another, those who were secretly waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves have long been unable to hold back and are ready to take action.”
Seeing that Li Chenxu did not suspect Old Master Li, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a little disappointed.
I wonder what Old Master Li has done, whether he has made contact with Lei Chao's child, and if the two of them have any plans in secret, have they put them into action yet?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind. At this moment, she was completely immersed in her own world and did not notice the thoughtful gaze of Li Chenxu beside her.
Li Chenxu didn't publicize what happened tonight. After returning, he immediately ordered his men to investigate the thugs in the parking lot. There were surveillance cameras in the parking lot, so it wouldn't be difficult to find them.
Even if the surveillance cameras are gone, the car still has a dashcam. It wouldn't be difficult for Li Chenxu to investigate those people.
The two of them had already returned late today, and by the time Li Chenxu finished all his tasks, it was already past midnight. Mu Xiaoyu had originally been waiting for Li Chenxu to rest together, but she ended up falling asleep on the sofa.
Today was really exhausting. Mu Xiaoyu was sleeping very soundly, and when a clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside, she didn't react at all.
Perhaps because she's been dealing with too many things lately, Mu Xiaoyu is asleep now, and you can see signs of fatigue on her face.
Li Chenxu knelt down in front of Mu Xiaoyu, looking at her sleeping face with a pang of heartache in his eyes. He reached out to stroke her cheek, but then withdrew his hand halfway through, afraid of disturbing her sweet dreams.
"Xiaoyu, what are you hiding from me...?"
Li Chenxu stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a long while, then suddenly murmured something softly. His voice was so soft that his words seemed to disappear into thin air the next second.
Mu Xiaoyu slept very restlessly. She rarely dreamed before, not even during the period when her relationship with Li Chenxu was at its most strained. But lately, she had started having frequent dreams, and they were almost never pleasant ones.
Just like that night, the things she dreamed about still sent chills down her spine when she woke up and recalled what happened in the dream.
"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?"
It was only a little past four o'clock, and it was still pitch black outside. Mu Xiaoyu woke up from her dream with a start, and her terrified scream woke Li Chenxu as well.
Li Chenxu subconsciously pulled Mu Xiaoyu into his arms, gently stroking her back with one hand to soothe her emotions.
Clearly, this nightmare had a profound impact on Mu Xiaoyu; even in Li Chenxu's arms, her body was still trembling slightly. She held Li Chenxu tightly, trying to calm the fear brought on by the dream.
This dream was truly terrifying. In it, Li Chenxu was kidnapped by Old Master Li and Lei Chao's descendant. To vent the man's anger, Old Master Li even ordered Li Chenxu to be dismembered.
The scene in her dream felt so real to Mu Xiaoyu. She watched as the gleaming knife slashed at Li Chenxu's body, and the immense fear almost overwhelmed her.
She didn't even dare to think about it; the thought of that scene in her dream made her heart clench.
No, she absolutely couldn't stand by and watch Li Chenxu be dealt with by Old Master Li and the others, she absolutely couldn't watch Li Chenxu get hurt!
"Brother Shenxu, I have something to tell you!"
The next second, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed Li Chenxu's collar. It was unclear how much force she used, but her knuckles even turned slightly white.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu's hand froze. It was unclear what he was thinking. He didn't speak immediately, but stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu with a pair of deep, dark eyes, his expression unpredictable.
"Xiaoyu, I don't know what you're trying to say. But since you've kept me in the dark for so many days, you must have your reasons. Are you sure you want to tell me now?"
"You...you know everything?"
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Li Chenxu. She thought she had concealed it well, but now it seemed that nothing could escape Li Chenxu's eyes.
But she also knew very well that telling Li Chenxu about Lei Chao now was not an impulsive decision. She simply didn't have the courage to experience the overwhelming despair and fear she felt in her dream a second time.
She really couldn't just stand by and watch Li Chenxu get into trouble.
Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Li Chenxu, her gaze more resolute than ever before: "Brother Chenxu, I wasn't acting impulsively. It's just that these past few days, I've been thinking about how to tell you without making things more complicated. But now... I realize I should have told you intuitively. I believe in you; no matter how complicated things get, you can handle it well, right?"
Her words startled Li Chenxu for a moment, then he chuckled softly. He reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheek, his voice becoming even gentler: "Yes, I will definitely handle things well and won't let you down."
Li Chenxu's words were like a reassuring pill, completely calming Mu Xiaoyu's restless heart.
She grabbed Li Chenxu's hand, holding it tightly, and began to say, "A few days ago, when you went to the old house to get Lin Zhu's information, your father told me some things the next day..."
This time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't hide anything from Li Chenxu and told him everything about Lei Chao and why Grandpa Li was in such a hurry to have a child.
She spoke slowly, and although she didn't deliberately observe Li Chenxu's expression while speaking, she would still steal glances at him from time to time. If it were someone else, Mu Xiaoyu might not have been too worried, but the key point was that the protagonist here was Old Master Li, Li Chenxu's biological father.
Even if Li Chenxu says he doesn't care, Mu Xiaoyu still thinks he will be sad and upset.
She didn't want to see Li Chenxu too heartbroken.
Mu Xiaoyu spoke cautiously, and after she finished explaining everything, her back was even covered in cold sweat.
She looked up at Li Chenxu, her heart tightening.
Compared to Mu Xiaoyu's nervousness, Li Chenxu's face remained expressionless. His dark eyes were calm and still, showing no unusual color, and he seemed no different from usual.
But the more he acted this way, the more worried and afraid Mu Xiaoyu became.
