Chapter 118 When to have children?

"Aren't you angry?"

Mu Xiaoyu's words made Li's father feel a little better. As he spoke, he looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a scrutinizing gaze and a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's smile deepened even more. She smiled slightly at Li's father and said, "Of course there are some things, but as long as the final result is good, that's fine."

This time, Father Li remained silent. He glanced at Mu Xiaoyu, then at Li Chenxu who was protecting her from behind, and finally addressed the rest of the Li family: "Alright, we'll talk about Xu Sulin later. Let's eat first. And you all, you accepted Mu Xiaoyu's gift, and you don't even know how to thank her? When did the Li family become so rude?"

You should know that the person who was most dissatisfied with Xiao's previous sarcastic remarks was Li's father. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, it would be hard to imagine that these words would come from Li's father's mouth!

Everyone was startled by Li's father's words, but they reacted quickly and thanked Mu Xiaoyu immediately. This time, perhaps because of Li's father, or perhaps because Mu Xiaoyu's gift really worked, they were much more enthusiastic when facing Mu Xiaoyu.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but wink at Li Chenxu. The little bit of smugness in her eyes didn't escape Li Chenxu's notice.

He had been worried that Mu Xiaoyu might have another conflict with the rest of her family, but now it seemed that his Xiaoyu was truly outstanding, so outstanding that she no longer caused him any worry...

Xu Sulin's affair made the Li family lose face, so during the meal later, no one talked about Xu Sulin at all. Instead, they talked about their usual work and life.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't visit the Li family's main residence very often, and she had very little contact with the other members of the Li family. In the past, when she came to the main residence, they would either speak coldly to her or give her a cold look.

But this time, during meals, the Li family members started bringing Mu Xiaoyu into their circle, and Li's father would ask Mu Xiaoyu a few questions from time to time. Although his tone was still a bit stiff, it was much better than his attitude towards Mu Xiaoyu before.

When do you plan to have a child?

Mu Xiaoyu had just placed a piece of rib on Li Chenxu's plate when she suddenly heard her father's words. Mu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. She smiled slightly at her father and said, "Dad, Chenxu and I discussed it before. Once I finish this comic book I'm currently serializing, we plan to have a child."

"How much longer? You've been working on this comic book for about a year now, haven't you?"

Father Li's tone was slightly dissatisfied. Although his attitude towards Mu Xiaoyu had changed this time, it didn't mean that he truly considered Mu Xiaoyu as family. Li Chenxu was not young anymore, and most people his age had children, but Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu were the only ones who hadn't had any children yet.

If Mu Xiaoyu had said that she had already started preparing, perhaps Li's father wouldn't have said much. But now they have to wait until the comic is finished. What if something happens in the middle? Will their plan to have a child be put on hold again?

Mu Xiaoyu was also extremely perceptive. Seeing the change in her father's expression, she guessed what he was thinking. Despite her displeasure, she maintained a smiling and composed demeanor: "Dad, actually, I've finished drawing the ending; it's just that the magazine hasn't released it yet. Besides, Shen Xu's company will be casting actors, which will give the Li family some publicity, so it's only beneficial for us. As for the child..."

"It's only a few months' delay, which is nothing. Besides, I've had too many things to do during this time, and I haven't had time to think about the child."

Before Mu Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke up. He disliked the fact that his father was forcing Mu Xiaoyu to have a child, but because the other party was his father, he restrained his emotions when he spoke. However, restraint did not mean that he would stand by and watch the woman he loved most deal with these troublesome matters.

Originally, people like Mr. Li cared about their children, but they cared even more about the development of the Li family business.

He already knew about the Li family's foray into the entertainment industry. In this internet age, the Li family's entry into the entertainment industry at this time, building their reputation, would undoubtedly benefit their other businesses to some extent.

The Li family business was already large enough, the largest of all, so whenever it came to helping the company develop, Li's father would not object in any way.

So when Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu said this, Li's father didn't say anything more. He just said, "Since that's the case, I won't urge you to have children for now. But you have to handle the company's affairs well. Don't disregard the company's interests just because you're family, understand?"

It was already difficult to get someone like Li's father to agree, so Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu nodded and said no more.

In the past, when Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu returned, their father and others would generally not let them stay overnight at the family home. However, tonight, when Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were about to leave after dinner, their father asked them to stay overnight.

However, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had just returned to China today and hadn't had a break in between. Now that they had relaxed, they were both quite tired, so they politely declined Li's father's offer and went straight home.

Leaving the main house, without her father and the rest of the Li family, the tension and exhaustion she had felt earlier washed over Mu Xiaoyu like a tidal wave. As soon as she got into the car, Mu Xiaoyu leaned against Li Chenxu.

"I haven't been this tired in a long time..."

Mu Xiaoyu was truly exhausted. Sometimes, using one's wits is more tiring than using one's physical strength. At this moment, even her delicate eyebrows and eyes revealed a faint weariness.

Li Chenxu felt a pang of heartache. He put one arm around Mu Xiaoyu and gently pressed the other hand on Mu Xiaoyu's forehead to relieve her fatigue.

In fact, someone like Li Chenxu, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had never taken care of anyone growing up. When he massaged Mu Xiaoyu, his movements were very clumsy.

Although his movements were a bit clumsy, Mu Xiaoyu could feel his gentleness and patience, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, she felt a little drowsy because she felt so comfortable.

She groggily grabbed Li Chenxu's hand and mumbled, "Stop massaging, you should rest too. It hurts me to see you so tired..."
