Chapter 747: Letting Go
All those little things I had never noticed before came back to me in this dream.
Even though it happened a long time ago, Mu Xiaoyu still couldn't help but shed tears when she recalled it this time.
There were tears of emotion, and there were also regrets.
She couldn't help but think that if she hadn't been so resentful of Li Chenxu back then, and had been willing to calm down and look at things more clearly, perhaps she and Li Chenxu wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings.
She had thought about this more than once after she and Li Chenxu actually got together.
Things like this, if recalled too many times, will probably become mundane. Even if there are emotions, they will only be like a pebble thrown into the ocean, causing at most a few ripples.
But for Mu Xiaoyu, every time she recalls these things, she can't help but want to cry.
"Xiaoyu?"
Mu Xiaoyu was immersed in her dream world and slept very soundly, her ability to perceive the outside world was much weaker. It wasn't until she heard Li Chenxu calling her that she opened her eyes with some difficulty.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Li Chenxu's worried eyes.
Because she had just regained consciousness, Mu Xiaoyu's mind was still a little foggy. Seeing Li Chenxu like this, she didn't think twice and reached out to hug him.
She hugged him tightly, as if afraid that Li Chenxu would disappear.
Mu Xiaoyu rarely acted so clingy. When Li Chenxu was hugged like that, he didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for two seconds before gently holding her in his arms.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"No... I just dreamt about things from the past, Li Chenxu..."
"Ok?"
Mu Xiaoyu's hesitant expression made Li Chenxu even more worried. He reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's hair, and after a moment of consideration, asked her, "It's okay if you don't want to talk now. Calm down first, and we'll talk when you're ready."
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I don't know how to say it."
Mu Xiaoyu leaned against Li Chenxu's chest and said in a muffled voice. She was such a grown-up, but right now she was acting like a child, and her voice sounded very spoiled.
Li Chenxu chuckled softly, his voice deep and resonant. Mu Xiaoyu was leaning against him, and she could clearly feel the vibrations in his chest as he laughed.
An indescribable ambiguity, yet also an unspoken intimacy.
She nestled quietly in Li Chenxu's arms for a while before speaking: "I was just thinking about why I used to be so stubborn."
"Stubborn by nature? Now you've finally noticed?"
Li Chenxu's smile deepened. He knew better than anyone that Mu Xiaoyu was stubborn. He had already guessed what was going on with her sudden words.
The two had many misunderstandings in the past, and it took several years to clear them up.
Actually, as long as the two of them can be together happily now, Li Chenxu is already very satisfied. But for Mu Xiaoyu, it's not enough.
In her view, they had wasted too much time. Those wasted years were a knot in Mu Xiaoyu's heart that she could never untie.
If this problem remains unresolved, this situation may continue to occur in the future.
Li Chenxu fell into deep thought, unsure of what to do about the situation.
If it's a business matter, he can usually find a solution without much thought, but when it comes to the woman he loves, he becomes extremely cautious, fearing that he might make a mistake.
"Xiaoyu... no matter what, we have to look forward. What's past is past. Didn't you say that things are good now? If that's the case, why keep thinking about the past? Or were you lying to me just now, and you're actually not satisfied with your life now at all?"
"how come!"
Mu Xiaoyu denied it without thinking. She herself was prone to overthinking sometimes, but Li Chenxu was no different. So if she showed any hesitation or agreement at this time, Li Chenxu would easily overthink it afterward, and she didn't want to see that happen.
Her anxious explanation warmed Li Chenxu's heart, and he continued, "Since there's no such thing, then promise me you won't think about the past anymore, okay? Think about An'an, he's so lively, if he knew about our past, wouldn't it affect him?"
An'an is Mu Xiaoyu's Achilles' heel. Mu Xiaoyu's only wish now is that she and Li Chenxu can both be well, and that An'an is the only other thing.
She hoped that An'an could live a good life, so if her past with Li Chenxu really affected An'an, she would do everything she could to forget those bad things and would never reveal a single word to An'an.
Mu Xiaoyu's anxious expression made Li Chenxu feel helpless. He kissed Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, gently stroked her hair, and said softly, "Since you're alright, you shouldn't think about this anymore. Okay... it'll be dawn soon, go to sleep. Tomorrow is the court hearing, I can't be with you..."
The case against Li's father and his family has basically been settled, and the court hearing is tomorrow.
Although everything has been settled, tomorrow is still the court hearing. If one of them is present, both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu will feel more at ease.
Thinking that there were such important things to do tomorrow, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more. She gently hummed in response, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in Li Chenxu's arms.
She slept soundly until dawn, and when she woke up, Li Chenxu was no longer beside her. There was a note left by Li Chenxu on the bedside table. In order to avoid too much media attention, Li Chenxu and his team had specially chosen to hold their trial in the morning, so naturally Li Chenxu had to arrive early.
Mu Xiaoyu went to bed too late last night, and Li Chenxu was worried that her body couldn't handle it, so he didn't wake her up this morning.
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at the note left by Li Chenxu, sitting motionless on the bed. After a while, as if suddenly remembering something, she suddenly slapped her head.
"How did I oversleep?"
She didn't have a chance to say it last night, but she wanted to go to her father's trial today. Those were the people who had wronged her; she wanted to see them suffer with her own eyes.
Moreover, she also wanted to see the expressions of regret on the faces of Li's father and the others.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't delay any longer. She quickly packed up, gave instructions to the nanny who was taking care of An'an, and then rushed out the door. She had to get there before the trial started!
