Chapter 32 Care
Her tone was incredibly aggrieved, and coupled with the fact that she was much more vulnerable than usual when she was sick, Mu Xiaoyu almost burst into tears as she spoke.
Li Chenxu had never seen Mu Xiaoyu so vulnerable before. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's tearful eyes, his heart ached so much that it almost clenched.
He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's burning forehead, saying softly, "It's all my fault, Xiaoyu... Listen to me, let's go to the hospital first. Once you're better, I'll agree to whatever you want and give you an explanation."
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was completely delirious with fever and couldn't concentrate on listening to what Li Chenxu was saying. She only felt Li Chenxu's cool lips kiss her forehead, and as if by magic, all the grievances in her heart disappeared in that instant.
She didn't speak again, but simply nestled her head against Jing Li's chest, showing an unprecedented level of docility.
Li Chenxu liked Mu Xiaoyu's obedient and docile demeanor, but he didn't want it to happen this way. He was heartbroken and afraid that further delay would affect Mu Xiaoyu's condition, so he didn't say anything more and carried Mu Xiaoyu to the hospital.
It was still early, and since it was a private hospital not far from home, there weren't many people there when we arrived. They quickly prescribed medicine for Mu Xiaoyu and started her IV drip.
Because Mu Xiaoyu still had a fever, she fell into a deep sleep while receiving the IV drip.
Assistant Lin arrived at this moment and saw Li Chenxu wiping the sweat from Mu Xiaoyu's forehead with a towel. He stepped forward and respectfully said to Li Chenxu, "Sir, leave these matters to me."
After saying that, she tried to take the towel from Li Chenxu's hand. But before her hand could even fully touch the towel, she was stopped by Li Chenxu's sharp gaze.
Did you do these things?
Li Chenxu merely glanced at Assistant Lin before looking away. His tone was light and casual, but for some reason, it sent chills down Assistant Lin's spine.
He quickly withdrew his hand and moved away from the hospital bed.
Li Chenxu didn't say anything more. After slowly wiping the sweat from Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, he handed the towel to Assistant Lin and said, "Take all today's work to the hospital. I won't go to the company for now."
“But sir, there’s a very important meeting today! I know you care about Madam, but if you don’t attend this meeting…”
"What am I doing supporting you all? Today's meeting is important, but it's not like I'm indispensable. Assistant Lin, you've been by my side for so many years, don't you even have the ability to manage the overall situation?"
At this moment, Li Chenxu finally lost his temper. He was already in a bad mood because of the rumors about him and Lin Xia this morning, and Lin's assistant had just been clueless and walked right into Li Chenxu's line of fire. Li Chenxu was not going to give him any face.
Fortunately, Li Chenxu deliberately lowered his voice for fear of disturbing the sleeping Mu Xiaoyu, otherwise Lin Zhuzhi might have been terrified by Li Chenxu.
"I...I understand, sir. Please don't be angry. I will do as you instruct me immediately!"
Even though Assistant Lin had followed Li Chenxu for so many years, the intense pressure Li Chenxu exerted whenever he lost his temper still made him feel breathless. After seeing Li Chenxu nod in agreement, he hurriedly fled the ward.
Li Chenxu had gotten drunk last night, and this morning he had so many worries. He was already exhausted. As soon as Assistant Lin left, he immediately let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed his tired temples.
It was at this moment that Mu Xiaoyu, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes. She had been on an IV drip for over an hour, and although her fever hadn't completely subsided, the buzzing in her head had eased considerably.
However, because she had just woken up, she was still a little groggy. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before noticing Li Chenxu beside her.
"you……"
When I opened my mouth, I found that my voice was so hoarse that I couldn't even say the words I wanted to say.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, Li Chenxu immediately reacted. The usually composed man, upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu awake, hurriedly asked anxiously, "You're awake? How are you? Is anything else bothering you?" He was as anxious as a child, a far cry from the usually decisive and powerful young master of the Li family who was a force to be reckoned with in the business world.
Seemingly unable to believe that the person in front of her was Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu stared at him for a long while before finally managing to ask, "You... why are you here?"
Noticing Mu Xiaoyu's hoarse voice and slightly chapped lips, Li Chenxu felt a pang of heartache. He didn't answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately, but instead took a cotton swab, dipped it in some water from a paper cup, and moistened Mu Xiaoyu's lips. Seeing that her lips were a little better, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where else would I be if I'm not here? What happened to you last night? Why were you sleeping on the sofa without even covering yourself with a blanket? What if you had gotten a fever and damaged your brain if I hadn't come back this morning?"
Because he genuinely cared and felt sorry for her, Li Chenxu's voice carried a hint of seriousness. What he didn't know was that Mu Xiaoyu had stayed on the sofa all night simply to wait for him to return.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's serious words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately bit her lip and turned her head away. At the same time, the images she had seen on TV that morning kept flashing through her mind.
She felt a little sad, a little wronged, and a little self-deprecating.
What hurt her was that she had finally managed to fall for Li Chenxu, but he had done something so embarrassing. What made her feel wronged was that even though Li Chenxu was in the wrong, he was now treating her so seriously. What made her feel self-deprecating was that she had been so foolish yesterday to think that Li Chenxu had feelings for her.
Looking back now, I realize how incredibly foolish I was.
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more upset she became. She bit her lip harder and harder.
Li Chenxu didn't get a reply from Mu Xiaoyu. Seeing her stubborn expression as she almost bit her lip until it bled, he sighed helplessly. He walked around the bed to the other side and squatted down beside it.
At the same time, he reached out a hand and gently yet firmly parted Mu Xiaoyu's tightly bitten lips: "Xiaoyu, I don't know what you're thinking right now. But no matter what, you shouldn't torture yourself. Look at what you've done to your lips! Do you really want to see me heartbroken to death before you're satisfied?"
