Chapter 91 The Cold War Breaks Out
Li Chenxu's words made Mu Xiaoyu's face turn pale instantly. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but when she remembered what Xu Sulin had said earlier, she immediately swallowed the words back.
She closed her eyes and didn't answer Li Chenxu's question immediately. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and asked with difficulty, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
As long as Li Chenxu explains things clearly and makes everything plain, regardless of whether he can provide evidence to prove his innocence, she will believe him and tell him about her feelings for him.
She had truly fallen in love with Li Chenxu, she really did.
Both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu are extremely stubborn people; otherwise, they wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings and only recently reconciled.
When faced with such a situation, people are all stubborn, so how could they possibly resolve it immediately?
So when Li Chenxu heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, he didn't say anything, but simply stood up and left the ward. There was a small table by the window in the ward, with a thick stack of documents on it, which were the things Li Chenxu had been using to work in the ward for the past two days.
Now that Li Chenxu has left, a gust of wind suddenly blew in, knocking the documents off the table and onto the ground, just like Mu Xiaoyu's heart, which sank down.
Mu Xiaoyu was surprised by Li Chenxu's reaction and stared blankly in the direction Li Chenxu left, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she had been living too leisurely lately. Like a greenhouse flower carefully protected by Li Chenxu, the greenhouse suddenly collapsed, a storm came, and the person who protected her was gone, leaving only a flower swaying in the storm.
She felt a little uneasy, or rather, not quite unwell, but more like a slight pain...
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but reach out and touch her chest, where it was still beating steadily. There was nothing wrong, so why did she feel so uncomfortable?
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to think about what happened today anymore. Ever since Li Chenxu left, she had been lying in bed trying to sleep. But even so, she couldn't fall asleep peacefully at all.
Scenes from her time with Li Chenxu during this period played back in her mind like a revolving lantern.
When she was injured, Li Chenxu's undisguised heartache; when she expressed her desire for children, the uncontrollable elation in his eyes... all of it was a genuine reaction. If their feelings weren't so deep, someone like Li Chenxu wouldn't need to put on an act in front of her time and time again.
Mu Xiaoyu believed in Li Chenxu's feelings for her, but she lacked confidence in herself.
She didn't know why Li Chenxu liked her, nor did she know why he had forced her into marriage. There was so much she didn't know, and Li Chenxu seemed to have no intention of telling her any of it.
With the added pressure from the Li family, Mu Xiaoyu could easily imagine that a more outstanding woman would replace her in Li Chenxu's life.
At that time, as long as Li Chenxu explained even the slightest thing to her, she would express her feelings and tell him that what he had said to Xu Sulin before was just said in anger.
But Li Chenxu didn't say it, so how could she say it?
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know how she got through that night. Li Chenxu hadn't come back since he left. The first person to come to the ward the next day was Lin, Li Chenxu's assistant. Mu Xiaoyu had just packed her things and was preparing to be discharged when he arrived.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu packing her things, Assistant Lin was somewhat surprised and paused for a moment before subconsciously asking, "What is Madam doing?"
"Weren't you being discharged from the hospital today?"
Lin's assistant didn't say much upon hearing this. Today was the day Mu Xiaoyu was to be discharged from the hospital. He came to the hospital for two reasons: first, to sort out the documents that Li Chenxu had left at the hospital yesterday, and second, to take Mu Xiaoyu back to the villa.
He didn't know what had happened between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu, but in any case, as a subordinate, he didn't have the right to interfere or ask too many questions.
So after a moment of silence, he said to Mu Xiaoyu, who was about to leave, "It was Mr. that asked me to come and pick up Mrs. Mu from the hospital. If you don't mind, could you wait a bit? I'll tidy up the documents that Mr. Mu left in the ward yesterday and then take you home."
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't one to put on airs, so asking her to wait for Assistant Lin wasn't a big deal. However... she was more concerned about Li Chenxu, who seemed genuinely angry this time...
"Is Shen Xu working?"
After hesitating for a while, Mu Xiaoyu decided to follow her heart and asked Assistant Lin about Li Chenxu.
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin gave Mu Xiaoyu a slightly strange look, and after a while, he stammered, "Sir is dealing with Chen Lan's matter... and also has some personal matters to attend to, so today... he can't come to pick up Madam from school."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what the assistant Lin was talking about regarding private matters, but hearing what the assistant Lin said, and thinking about what happened to Xu Sulin yesterday, Mu Xiaoyu felt a tightness in her chest.
She really wanted to ask Assistant Lin what exactly the private matter Li Chenxu was supposed to handle, but she was also afraid to know the answer.
After her rebirth, Mu Xiaoyu always felt that she had become much stronger and more assertive than before. She could remain calm and composed in the face of betrayal by friends and harm from outsiders.
But now she realizes that she is not as strong as she thought.
Even now, when it comes to Li Chenxu, she is still very cowardly.
Not to mention Li Chenxu, even she herself looks down on herself now.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's seemingly lost state, Assistant Lin felt a pang of pity. Recently, Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's relationship had progressed rapidly; she had lost her previous arrogance and domineering attitude, which made things much easier for him, her assistant.
If Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu revert to their arrogant and domineering ways from before, then neither Li Chenxu nor Mu Xiaoyu, nor even their subordinates, will have an easy time.
After thinking for a moment, Assistant Lin couldn't help but say, "Madam, I know it might not be appropriate for me to say these things. But I still want to advise you that when two people are together, sometimes when there are conflicts, it's not good to wait for one of them to admit their mistake. Since you've decided to spend your lives together, what does it matter who apologizes first? As long as you can stay together for the rest of your lives, you'll be each other's closest people, so why care about saving face?"
