Chapter 735: She didn't want to be alone
"Really, I'm not kidding you. Just focus on finishing your manuscript. We'll be busy with An'an's full moon celebration in the next couple of days, and then you won't have time to finish your manuscript anymore."
"Okay... but if there's anything, you can't hide it from me. We agreed before that we'd face anything together."
"Okay, I'll tell you if there's anything wrong, but I won't say anything if I can handle it myself."
Li Chenxu left himself some room for maneuver in his words. Although he was keeping this from Mu Xiaoyu for her own good, he knew very well that Mu Xiaoyu didn't like it this way. He was afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would get angry, so it was better not to be too absolute about this matter.
Mu Xiaoyu was still thinking about Li Chenxu's phone call earlier, so she didn't immediately notice the loophole in Li Chenxu's words. Instead, she nodded in agreement with a serious expression.
His slightly confused expression was incredibly adorable in Li Chenxu's eyes.
However, the more this was the case, the less Li Chenxu wanted Mu Xiaoyu to experience such a thing.
Thinking about the conversation on the phone, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly. That was his biological father, a blood relative, a connection that transcended blood ties.
But this kind of father thinks all day long about how to kill him and how to deal with his closest lover.
Even when Li Chenxu dealt with his father, he still left him a sliver of hope. Even though the money his father had was nothing compared to his peak years, it was still a fraction of what he had.
However, compared to many ordinary families, the money Li Chenxu left him was enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But unfortunately, Mr. Li was never satisfied and even wanted to kill his son and daughter-in-law.
This time, the father-son bond between them was completely gone.
From then on, they were simply people with the same surname.
Similarly, Li Chenxu will no longer show mercy to his father.
Either you die or I die.
Under such circumstances, Li Chenxu would not give his father a chance to survive...
"How about I go with you? Just in case something happens, the two of us can look out for each other."
As Li Chenxu was about to leave, Mu Xiaoyu clung tightly to his clothes, refusing to let go. Since Li Chenxu rescued Mu Xiaoyu, the two hadn't been apart for the past few days.
In the past, it was always Li Chenxu who was somewhat domineering and clingy to Mu Xiaoyu, but this time, it was completely reversed.
Actually, as long as Li Chenxu is around, there's nothing that can't be done. Besides, if Li Chenxu can't do it, she probably can't either.
The reason I said that was simply because I didn't want to leave Li Chenxu.
She was a little scared. Even though she had promised Li Chenxu that she would take that step bravely, she still couldn't do it now.
“You’re at home. If you see him again at the police station, I’m afraid it will upset you.”
"Will not!"
Without a second thought, Mu Xiaoyu quickly denied it. She was a little anxious, and her grip on Li Chenxu's clothes tightened.
Knowing he was going out, Li Chenxu changed into a more formal outfit, the kind of clothes that are easily scratched. As Mu Xiaoyu is gripping them tightly now, the wrinkles are clearly visible.
However, Li Chenxu didn't care about any of that; all he cared about was Mu Xiaoyu's emotions.
He knew that some things couldn't be rushed, and he also knew that separating from Mu Xiaoyu so soon wasn't the best time.
But if that matter isn't resolved, and Mu Xiaoyu finds out, the consequences will be far more serious than they are now.
So after much deliberation, Li Chenxu finally made the difficult decision to push Mu Xiaoyu's hand away.
"Xiaoyu, you have to be good. Not just now, but also in the future. You know the responsibilities I bear on my shoulders, and I can't always be by your side. You're a strong person, so this time, be strong, okay?"
"No! I'm not strong! Li Chenxu, you liar! You promised to protect me, and it hasn't been that long, and you're already leaving me! If you leave today, I'll never speak to you again!"
Mu Xiaoyu's emotions instantly spiraled out of control. She released her grip on Li Chenxu's clothes and screamed almost hoarsely, tears streaming down her face as she shouted.
Li Chenxu had never seen Mu Xiaoyu like this before. His heart ached as if it were being held tightly in someone's hand, and he was just a hair's breadth away from giving in.
But this time, he hardened his heart.
"Xiaoyu, be good, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Li Chenxu hardened his heart, didn't look at Mu Xiaoyu again, and turned to leave.
This time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't chase after him; she was probably genuinely angry. When Li Chenxu returns, it will likely take some effort to coax her back.
"Sir, the hotel has been selected. Would you like to take a look at it after we leave the police station?"
After getting on the bus, Assistant Lin handed the tablet to Li Chenxu and asked him a question.
He was referring to the hotel for An'an's full moon celebration. Li Chenxu had previously selected several hotels. However, wanting to give An'an the best of everything, he asked Assistant Lin to take a look beforehand and choose the best one from the few he had selected.
Assistant Lin was always quick to get things done, and he got the matter done in less than a day.
Li Chenxu took the tablet. Normally, he could calm down quickly no matter what he was doing, but he couldn't calm down at all this time.
Even though he was looking at a tablet, the image of Mu Xiaoyu crying when he left kept flashing before his eyes.
People who are used to using strength to disguise themselves will evoke special pity when they reveal their vulnerability.
Mu Xiaoyu was someone Li Chenxu cherished dearly. Just thinking about how Mu Xiaoyu cried like that made Li Chenxu's heart ache beyond words.
Just as the car was about to leave the villa area, Li Chenxu quickly said, "Stop the car!"
"gentlemen?"
Lin Zhu was sitting in the front when he suddenly heard Li Chenxu say to stop the car. He immediately turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"go back."
He didn't explain, he just spoke directly. Assistant Lin wasn't a talkative person either. Li Chenxu always had his reasons for doing things, and as his subordinates, they only needed to follow them.
The car turned around and returned to the villa. As soon as the car came to a stop, Li Chenxu couldn't wait to get out and head straight into the villa.
As soon as he entered, he immediately saw Mu Xiaoyu sitting there blankly, silently shedding tears.
"Xiaoyu."
Li Chenxu spoke in a hoarse voice, and after he finished speaking, he rushed over and hugged Mu Xiaoyu tightly.
"Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore? Why did you come back?"
Mu Xiaoyu cried even harder, trying to push him away, but Li Chenxu held her too tightly, and with her little strength, he couldn't budge her at all.
