Chapter 47 I Respect Your Work

"Xiaoyu, I don't know what happened while I was in the meeting, but I think you should know how hard it has been for us to get to this point. If you have any grudges, you'd better tell me. I don't want to waste our time together because of a cold war or arguments."

In everything else, Li Chenxu could indulge and spoil Mu Xiaoyu. But when it came to their relationship, he would not back down in the slightest. So when he spoke now, his tone was much more serious than before, and at first glance, it seemed exactly the same as when their conflicts were at their worst.

Mu Xiaoyu wasn't exactly known for her good temper, and coupled with the fact that she had been pampered by Li Chenxu all this time, seeing Li Chenxu like this immediately ignited her anger.

She flung Li Chenxu's hand away and said angrily through gritted teeth, "I don't want to argue, Li Chenxu, I just want to calm down. Do you know who called me just now? The editor-in-chief of the magazine personally apologized to me, and said that the comic I'm currently serializing will be published, and that I'm the pre-selected winner of this comic competition!"

Seeing the confusion in Li Chenxu's eyes, Mu Xiaoyu's sarcasm deepened. She scoffed, pointed at herself, and continued, "Don't I know my own level? If it weren't for your interference, how could all these things, including the publication and rankings, belong to me? Li Chenxu, I know you mean well, but I really don't like this!"

Mu Xiaoyu herself didn't know how long it had been since she had spoken to Li Chenxu like this since they reconciled. In fact, she regretted it the moment those words left her mouth.

Li Chenxu did make a mistake, but he did it because he wanted to help her. No matter how angry she was, she should have spoken to Li Chenxu properly. Shouting at him like this was really hurtful.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes immediately showed a hint of regret when she looked at Li Chenxu.

Whether it was because Li Chenxu was angered by Mu Xiaoyu's words or something else, Li Chenxu didn't say a word for a long time. He just stared at Mu Xiaoyu with his dark eyes, his emotions completely unfathomable.

Mu Xiaoyu was most afraid of Li Chenxu looking at her with those eyes. She felt extremely guilty and dared not look directly into Li Chenxu's eyes.

"So this is the kind of person you think I am."

It was unclear how much time had passed before Li Chenxu suddenly spoke. His tone was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, but it was precisely this calmness that made him all the more terrifying.

However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't understand what kind of person Li Chenxu was talking about.

She couldn't help but look up at Li Chenxu. His expression, like his tone, was very calm. However, the calmer he was, the more Mu Xiaoyu felt that Li Chenxu was angry, and very angry at that...

In the past, if such a situation had occurred, Mu Xiaoyu would definitely not have cared about Li Chenxu's feelings at all, and even if she had made a mistake, she would not have taken the initiative to admit it.

But things are different now. She has developed different feelings for Li Chenxu, and she doesn't want to see him like this...

"Chen Xu, I don't know what you're talking about, I actually..."

"Don't you know what I'm saying? Xiaoyu, in your eyes, aren't I just someone who thinks he's the only one who matters, doesn't know how to respect other people's dreams and hard work, and only knows how to use his power to achieve his goals? Do you think I'm right?"

Li Chenxu was truly angry this time, giving Mu Xiaoyu no chance to speak and relentlessly pressing her on everything. More importantly, what he was saying now were exactly what Mu Xiaoyu had been thinking before!

At this point, Li Chenxu glanced at Mu Xiaoyu again with eyes filled with disappointment, then turned his back to her and said, "Xiaoyu, I've said it before, as long as you don't get a divorce, I'll let you do whatever you want. I know you love your job, so I've never interfered with it. I don't know what the magazine's editor-in-chief said to you, but what I want to say is, whether it's the comic book being published or winning first place, it's all what you deserve..."

“You have the ability to get these things, not because of me.”

After saying this, Li Chenxu said no more and left the study.

Mu Xiaoyu stood there blankly, staring in the direction Li Chenxu had left, her mind a jumbled mess. Li Chenxu wasn't the one who did the magazine incident? Could it be… could it be that she had misunderstood?

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the tone of the president's voice when he called her. It seemed that towards the end, the president wanted to explain something to her, but she was too angry at the time and didn't listen to his explanation at all before hanging up the phone...

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu panicked. She quickly took out her phone and redialed the president's number.

As if anticipating Mu Xiaoyu's call, the editor-in-chief quickly answered the phone: "Xiaoyu, why did you hang up so abruptly? I hadn't even finished speaking... Did you mean that Mr. Li interfered in this matter? You've really misunderstood. This was a unanimous vote within our magazine. Your comic is the best-selling comic in the magazine, so naturally you should..."

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't hear what was said after that. All she knew was that she had really misunderstood Li Chenxu and had scolded the people who cared about her without even asking what happened.

She was never a fragile person, but when she thought of the disappointed look in Li Chenxu's eyes, it felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"President... I was wrong just now, I'm sorry... I have something to take care of right now, let's talk about the comic tomorrow."

After quickly finishing her sentence on the phone with the club president, Mu Xiaoyu hung up. Without any hesitation, she ran straight towards her bedroom.

Only a warm yellow wall lamp was on in the bedroom. As soon as Mu Xiaoyu entered, she saw Li Chenxu walking out of the bathroom with his upper body naked.

He glanced at Mu Xiaoyu once, then looked away, drying his hair as he walked to the bedside and sat down, his handsome face expressionless.

There was a pack of cigarettes on the bedside table. After sitting down, Li Chenxu subconsciously wanted to smoke to relieve his depressed mood. However, just as his hand touched the cigarette pack, he suddenly remembered that Mu Xiaoyu couldn't stand the smell of smoke, so he withdrew his hand.

It was just a subconscious action, but when Li Chenxu looked at his own actions and thought about what Mu Xiaoyu had just said, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Does he really love Mu Xiaoyu to the core?
