Chapter 343 Intimidation
At this moment, Li Chenxu suddenly bent down and leaned close to Mu Xiaoyu, speaking softly. As he spoke, he subtly blew a breath onto the back of Mu Xiaoyu's neck. Such an intimate gesture, if it had happened elsewhere or at another time, might have made Mu Xiaoyu shy.
But at this moment, Mu Xiaoyu only felt a sense of gloom and terror!
She instinctively took a step back, her eyes wide open, her lips trembling as she looked at Li Chenxu, stammering, "You...you said a window? Where is it?"
This was the first time Li Chenxu had seen Mu Xiaoyu like this, and he almost couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, he was always thick-skinned, and in the end, he managed to suppress his laughter. Hearing this, he coughed lightly, nodded slightly, and said to the window in front of him, "It's that window diagonally in front of you. It looks like there's something outside."
They were on the sixth floor; what could possibly be outside the window? If it weren't for Li Chenxu's serious expression, Mu Xiaoyu would have even suspected that he was lying to her!
Could it be that there really is something unclean in this sanatorium?
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu's heart was in her throat.
She was stiff all over, and it took her a while to turn around and look at the window diagonally in front of her. It should have been broad daylight, but because of the gloomy sky, the whole sky looked like night, gloomy and dark, and the streetlights outside the sanatorium were even turned on.
Just as Mu Xiaoyu looked over, a gust of wind blew by, blowing the curtains out of the window. For a moment, it seemed as if there was a real figure outside the window.
Startled, Mu Xiaoyu screamed and turned to throw herself into Li Chenxu's arms, clinging tightly to him.
They looked as pitiful as could be.
Although Li Chenxu had the intention of teasing Mu Xiaoyu, he couldn't bear to do it when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's appearance.
He gently put his arms around Mu Xiaoyu's shoulders, lowered his head and kissed her hair, saying with a smile, "Alright, there's nothing outside. I was just joking. You're a grown woman, why are you afraid of those unfounded things? Besides, even if there really were, I'm here with you, what are you afraid of?"
Although he wasn't exactly a gentle person in public, his voice was incredibly gentle whenever he comforted Mu Xiaoyu, carrying a strange power that could drive away anything that frightened or terrified Mu Xiaoyu.
She remained nestled in Li Chenxu's arms, motionless. After a while, she cautiously raised her head, her eyes, moist from fear, filled with accusation as she looked at Li Chenxu, her expression one of utter grievance.
"You only know how to bully me!"
Mu Xiaoyu choked up as she spoke, then buried her head in Li Chenxu's arms and muttered, "If you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore."
Mu Xiaoyu has said this countless times, but it seems she has never actually done it.
Li Chenxu didn't say it aloud, but he still responded repeatedly and gently comforted Mu Xiaoyu for a while before finally coaxing her back to calm.
When they arrived at Mu Xiaoyu's mother's hospital room, there was no sign of anything unusual.
The two had come at the last minute, so they hadn't informed Mu Xiaoyu's mother beforehand. Seeing them arrive, Mu Xiaoyu's mother was quite surprised.
"Why are you here at this time?"
She knew that with the Lunar New Year approaching, both Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu would be extremely busy with work and other matters, not to mention they had other things to attend to. She hadn't expected that only a few days later, the two of them would come again.
"I came to see you and also to ask you some questions."
Li Chenxu was about to speak, but before he could say anything, Mu Xiaoyu grabbed his hand and shook her head at him.
"Why don't you go out for a walk first? I want to talk to my mom alone for a bit."
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk first. Call me if anything happens."
Li Chenxu knew that Mu Xiaoyu would find it difficult to speak in front of him. It wasn't that she considered Li Chenxu an outsider, but rather that she was afraid that if Mu Xiaoyu's mother guessed about Mu Pengzheng's death, she might lose control of her emotions, and she didn't want others to see it.
Therefore, Li Chenxu did not stay. After saying this and seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod, he left.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's silent demeanor, Mu Xiaoyu's mother knew that what Mu Xiaoyu was about to say was definitely not a trivial matter, and her expression became more serious.
"Xiaoyu, has something happened again?"
Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm," walked to the bedside and sat down. Instead of immediately mentioning the string of numbers Mu Pengzheng had left behind, she asked, "Mom, how have you been feeling lately? Are you feeling any better than before?"
A few days ago, Li Chenxu mentioned to Mu Xiaoyu that once her health improved, they would arrange for her to go abroad for treatment.
Although China's medical standards are among the best both domestically and internationally, each profession has its own expertise. In cases like Mu Xiaoyu's mother's, only a specific expert abroad can provide a solution.
Today, Mu Xiaoyu also wanted to learn about her mother's situation.
"It's pretty much the same as before. Actually, you don't need to worry about me now. I've gotten used to this situation over the past few years. Living like this for the rest of my life isn't a big deal, as long as you're doing well, as long as you and Chen Xu are doing well, okay, Xiaoyu?"
In fact, Mu Xiaoyu's mother felt deeply guilty towards Mu Xiaoyu. Putting aside the fact that she did not provide Mu Xiaoyu with abundant material conditions from a young age, her wrong choices caused Mu Xiaoyu to suffer so much family harm from childhood.
She once told Mu Pengzheng that his fate was his own doing, and that her current predicament was also her own doing.
When she first learned that she was practically a cripple, she was heartbroken and in pain. But now, several years later, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's relationship has grown stronger, and she has come to terms with it.
"Mom, I understand. Shenxu and I are doing well, so you don't need to worry."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't rush to talk about Mu Pengzheng. After asking about her mother's health, she talked about other trivial matters in her life and about the New Year.
“When I arrived, Brother Shenxu said that he would take you to our place for the New Year. This year we will not go to the Li family’s old house. There will only be a few of us during the New Year. At most, we will invite one more good friend over. You won’t feel any pressure.”
