Chapter 746: Peaceful and Tranquil Life

"I know, I'll just eat a little bit first, and then I'll eat slowly after I finish this."

Mu Xiaoyu was extremely hungry at the moment, but she still had to find time to talk to Li Chenxu. She felt like even if she had two mouths, she still wouldn't be able to keep up!

So after saying that, she stopped talking to Li Chenxu and focused on eating. No matter what food Li Chenxu put on her plate, she accepted it without hesitation. She had never been so well-behaved while eating before.

Even the foods they used to be picky about are no longer a problem for them.

She must have been really starving, because Mu Xiaoyu ate almost three times more than before. If Li Chenxu hadn't persuaded her at the end, she probably could have eaten even more.

"This meal was so delicious. I haven't eaten this much in a long time."

After saying that, she patted her bulging belly and then tried to lie down on the sofa. There's a saying that's true: once a person is full, they sometimes become lazy, don't want to move, and don't want to do anything.

Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu didn't lie down after all. Before her butt even touched the sofa, Li Chenxu pulled her up.

"You just finished eating, so you can't lie down like this. It's bad for your stomach. Sit down for a while, and then I'll take you for a walk."

"I don't want to move, just let me lie down for a while. It's only once, there won't be any problems."

Mu Xiaoyu tried to coax Li Chenxu into softening his heart. Unfortunately, when it came to matters concerning Mu Xiaoyu's health, no matter how much Li Chenxu usually doted on her, he would not compromise on this issue.

"No, you spent most of your time in bed during the time you were pregnant with An'an. That was already bad for your stomach. If you continue like this, your body will break down."

Li Chenxu rejected her without any mercy, and while saying this, he pulled her up without showing her any consideration.

"I really don't want to move, honey. Why don't you carry me on your back? If you carry me, we can go for a walk for a while."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"What are you thinking about all day long? What's the difference between me carrying you on my back for a walk and you lying on the sofa without moving? Be a good girl and go for a walk with me tonight, and I'll give you a reward when we get back."

"What reward?"

Hearing the word "reward," Mu Xiaoyu lost all interest. It wasn't for any other reason than that she now had money, a house, a car—she had everything, lacked nothing, could do whatever she wanted, and could afford almost anything she desired.

So even if Li Chenxu offered to reward her with something, she really couldn't muster any interest.

He looked listless, like a wilted eggplant.

"You'll see when you get back. I can assure you, it'll be a real surprise."

Li Chenxu had already made it clear that Mu Xiaoyu had no choice but to go on this walk, whether she wanted to or not.

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't refuse Li Chenxu, so she had no choice but to go out with him.

However, she was listless and weak, like a rag doll clinging to Li Chenxu, who seemed to be dragging her along.

Li Chenxu really couldn't do anything with Mu Xiaoyu like this. He had originally agreed to be firm and make Mu Xiaoyu exercise, but now, seeing Mu Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, he still couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and said, "I really can't do anything with you. Let me make this clear, this is just this once. If there's a next time, I won't give in to you like this again."

"I know, I know, I knew you were the best."

These words made Li Chenxu raise an eyebrow at her instantly: "So you mean it would be bad if I didn't agree?"

"No, no, whether you agree or not, it's the best!"

Mu Xiaoyu was being extremely obsequious at this moment. She was now putting all her effort into pleasing Li Chenxu, so naturally she wanted to say all the nice things.

Li Chenxu was amused by her fawning manner and couldn't help but laugh. Finally, he bent down and carried Mu Xiaoyu on his back.

They'd been out for a little while, so carrying Mu Xiaoyu on his back wouldn't harm his body. However, this was a one-time exception; he wouldn't be so soft-hearted after this, Li Chenxu silently added to himself.

“Brother Shenxu, I feel that things are pretty good as they are now.”

Mu Xiaoyu was carried on Li Chenxu's back, her arms wrapped around his neck, her head buried in his neck, and the corners of her lips turned up.

Although they have weathered many storms, they are still doing well. More importantly, the more they have experienced, the more they have developed a bond of kinship and affection that they never had before, in addition to their love for each other.

These things bind them tightly together, making them inseparable.

Li Chenxu was carrying Mu Xiaoyu on his back, so he couldn't see the expression on her face, but he could imagine it. At that moment, his heart felt as if it were bathed in warm sunshine, his whole body feeling warm and comfortable, filled with an indescribable sense of ease.

"I think this is great too. If you like it, we can live like this every day from now on."

He knew what Mu Xiaoyu meant by "it's all good." To put it sentimentally, it meant a peaceful and tranquil life, free from any storms, where the family lived together in a simple yet happy way.

He knew all of this, but knowing it was one thing, saying it aloud was quite another, which is why he said it this way.

Hearing this while leaning against his back, Mu Xiaoyu pouted but didn't take it to heart. She knew Li Chenxu was sensitive about such things, and even if he knew something was wrong but didn't say it, she was too lazy to argue. Everyone knew what was going on anyway.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't dwell on the matter. Li Chenxu carried her outside for a while longer before they went back.

Perhaps because she had taken a walk outside, Mu Xiaoyu fell asleep shortly after washing up and lying in bed.

She rarely dreams, whether good or bad things happen.

But that night, she had a dream.

She dreamt of the first time she met Li Chenxu many years ago. The memory, which was usually blurry, became exceptionally clear in her dream.

Back then, Li Chenxu was not even a tenth as gentle as he is now. He was cold and aloof, always with a sullen face, and seemed unapproachable.

The two later got married, but she was forced into it. She hated him, but she was also afraid of him.

However, this time in her dream, she saw many things she had never noticed before.

For example, even if he had a cold face, he would still secretly help her solve problems at school.

For example, she might have someone secretly buy her the things she likes to eat...
