Chapter 211
"Can't control it?"
Li Chenxu raised an eyebrow and repeated Mu Xiaoyu's words. Perhaps he himself did not realize what kind of magic his ink-black eyes held, apart from his face.
Mu Xiaoyu stared intently at Li Chenxu's eyes, then softly hummed in response, and involuntarily reached out to touch Li Chenxu's eyes.
Her movements were light and gentle, carrying an indescribable affection.
Li Chenxu closed his eyes, letting Mu Xiaoyu stroke him.
Both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu enjoy being close to each other. Sometimes, their closeness isn't based on physical desire, but rather on the fact that physical touch allows them to more fully experience each other's presence.
That feeling is really hard to describe in words...
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more. The exhaustion of the whole night finally made her unable to hold on any longer. As she touched herself, she fell asleep again.
Li Chenxu waited for a while, and only when he felt that Mu Xiaoyu's movements had stopped did he open his eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Xiaoyu fast asleep.
Immediately, Li Chenxu was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Despite his helplessness, he didn't wake Mu Xiaoyu up, but instead told her to rest.
Although Mu Xiaoyu hadn't said anything to him, he figured she must have been terrified by what happened yesterday. He needed to take good care of her these next few days; he couldn't let anything like that happen again…
The Bai family came to visit Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu on the afternoon of the day Li Chenxu woke up. At that time, Mu Xiaoyu had just finished getting herself ready.
With such a serious incident as Li Chenxu's injury, once the news spread, there would surely be a constant stream of people coming to visit him.
As Li Chenxu's wife, she never wanted to hold him back or embarrass him, no matter what.
"Sister Xiaoyu! Are you alright?"
As soon as Bai Luo entered the ward, he hugged Mu Xiaoyu tightly.
After this incident, her feelings for Mu Xiaoyu deepened. She knew that the incident was caused by Mu Xiaoyu, but few people would be willing to go to Mu Xiaoyu's lengths, willing to come alone to save her under those circumstances.
She's so lucky to have fallen for Mu Xiaoyu...
It was clear that Bai Luo hadn't fully recovered from yesterday's ordeal; her expression wasn't as cheerful as usual. This worried Mu Xiaoyu. She glanced at Bai Ye, then at Li Chenxu, and said, "I'll take Luo Luo out first, you two can talk."
After saying that, without even looking at Bai Ye and Li Chenxu's reactions, she pulled Bai Luo out.
Inside the ward, Li Chenxu and Bai Ye looked at each other, both with expressionless and deep expressions, seemingly no different from usual. However, they both saw a hint of disdain in each other's eyes.
What's there to say between the two of them?
Bai Ye claimed to be visiting Li Chenxu, but the truth about who he really wanted to see was obvious to both of them.
No one spoke. Li Chenxu ignored Bai Ye, and Bai Ye had no intention of speaking either.
As for this matter, both Bai Ye and Li Chenxu will handle it properly.
Previously, only Li Chenxu and his family wanted to deal with Mu Pengzheng, but this incident has given Mu Pengzheng another enemy.
The Bai family is extremely protective of their own. Mu Pengzheng said that he was smart, but also pitifully stupid. Of all the people to kidnap, he had to kidnap Bai Luo. He was asking for death, and he can't blame anyone else.
When Mu Xiaoyu brought Bai Luo, whose emotions she had calmed down, in, the first thing she saw was Bai Ye and Li Chenxu staring at each other, not saying a word.
She and Bai Luo exchanged a glance, and Bai Luo couldn't help but burst out laughing. Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu was also someone who had experienced many ups and downs, and even though she wanted to laugh, she managed to suppress her laughter because there were other people present.
She cleared her throat and said to Bai Ye, "Dinner will be served soon, Mr. Bai. Would you like to stay for dinner?"
Before coming in, Mu Xiaoyu had already asked Bai Luo and knew that the two of them had things to do that evening and wouldn't be able to finish the meal.
But for some reason, when Bai Ye heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, his eyes darted around Mu Xiaoyu, and he seemed to be thinking about something before finally nodding in agreement.
Not only Mu Xiaoyu, but even Bai Luo standing to the side was startled, while the jealous Li Chenxu immediately frowned.
"Brother! Didn't you say you had something to do tonight? How come you'll have time to have dinner with Sister Xiaoyu and the others later?"
Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Bai Luo indifferently upon hearing this, and finally his gaze fell on Li Chenxu, whose expression looked dangerous. A very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Time can always be made. Besides, Mr. Li is so badly injured. It would be too unreasonable for us to leave after only staying for a short while."
It should be noted that Bai Ye and Li Chenxu have absolutely no relationship in private, yet they are saying things as if they are very close.
Most people would probably have exposed Bai Ye right then and there.
But Bai Ye and Li Chenxu are both hypocritical and pretentious people. Their favorite thing to do is to secretly expose people behind their backs. They simply can't do things like that.
Bai Ye was clearly aware of this, which is why he was so fearless at this moment.
"Then you can stay here, Mr. Li. Take good care of your injuries, and I'll come to see you again when I have the chance..."
After Bai Luo finished speaking, she quietly said a few more words to Mu Xiaoyu and then left the ward. She wasn't as shameless as her older brother.
Before coming, Bai Luo had already told Bai Ye what had happened last night. She also subtly mentioned the relationship between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu, implicitly telling Bai Ye to let go.
At the time, Bai Ye didn't say anything, and Bai Luo thought that Li Chenxu had agreed. But who knew that Bai Ye would pull such a stunt now.
What else can she do if she doesn't leave? She can't afford to lose face.
Mu Xiaoyu was at a loss for words, unsure whether to sit or stand, and even embarrassed to look at Li Chenxu's expression. She regretted saying such things; she wasn't even that familiar with Bai Ye, and now that Bai Luo was gone, she had no idea what to say.
"Xiaoyu, come here."
Just then, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke. Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked at Li Chenxu, whose expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
His demeanor puzzled Mu Xiaoyu, but after a moment's hesitation, she walked to the bedside and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
