Chapter 712: Easing Their Relationship
The two had reconciled, but she had never considered living together again after being discharged from the hospital.
Moreover, it's only been a few days since they reconciled, isn't it too fast for them to move back in together?
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu blinked innocently at Mu Xiaoyu: "Didn't you just tell me to say it?"
"But I only agreed to let you make one small request, not this kind of request."
Mu Xiaoyu was perfectly justified; since she wouldn't agree, there was nothing Li Chenxu could do about it.
She thought Li Chenxu would definitely try to bargain with her again, but to her surprise, after she refused, he just sighed deeply and said, "Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it. I'll try harder next time. Anyway... it's all my fault, so it's right for you to blame me like this."
After saying that, the doctor let out another long sigh.
When Li Chenxu puts on a pitiful act, almost no one can resist him.
Mu Xiaoyu's heart was originally as firm as a rock, but when she heard him sighing again and again, she immediately softened.
She glanced at Li Chenxu furtively, then coughed and said dryly, "I didn't say I wouldn't agree, but this is no small matter. I'd like to think about it some more and give you an answer later."
As soon as he said that, Li Chenxu laughed.
He took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and kissed it: "Okay, then can you tell me how long it will take to give me an answer?"
"I'll tell you before you're discharged."
In fact, Mu Xiaoyu is already very wavering, but no matter how much she wavers, she won't tell Li Chenxu right now.
If I really said that, Li Chenxu would be so arrogant he'd be strutting around like crazy.
Half an hour later, Song Yin and Gu Yeqi arrived.
Mu Xiaoyu was still eating breakfast when she saw them arrive. She immediately invited them to sit down: "Have you eaten breakfast yet? If not, I'll have someone bring some more up so we can eat together."
"I've eaten. How could I not have eaten by now that it's so late?"
Song Yin glanced at Mu Xiaoyu speechlessly, then sat down next to her, watching her eat as she asked, "How are you? I haven't come to see you for the past few days, are you alright?"
"What problem do I have? Li Chenxu is right here, don't you think he would do anything to me?"
After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu smiled at Li Chenxu. Previously, the two of them had been ignoring each other, but now Mu Xiaoyu was bringing up Li Chenxu, showing that their relationship had improved considerably during Song Yin's absence.
Song Yin glanced at Li Chenxu, then at Mu Xiaoyu, and finally winked at Mu Xiaoyu, saying with a hint of teasing, "Oh my, it seems your relationship has progressed rapidly in just a few days."
"Stop teasing me. Tell me, what's really going on between you and Ye Qi?"
"We'll talk about it later, you eat first."
Song Yin noticed that Mu Xiaoyu would only eat a couple of bites when talking to her, and didn't want to delay her meal.
Mu Xiaoyu only had a little bit left. Upon hearing this, she mumbled an "uh" and focused on finishing the rest of her food. After having the table cleared away, she looked at Song Yin.
"Go ahead."
"Say it now?"
Song Yin raised an eyebrow at her; Li Chenxu was still present. It wasn't that she felt she couldn't listen to anything Li Chenxu said, but they weren't close to him, and discussing those private matters in front of him always felt a little awkward.
The two were such good friends that Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood Song Yin's meaning with just a glance.
She rolled her eyes, then leaned close to Song Yin's ear and whispered something in a voice only the two of them could hear.
No one knew what Mu Xiaoyu had said, but Song Yin's expression immediately changed. It didn't turn ugly, but her gaze towards Li Chenxu suddenly carried a meaningful meaning.
Li Chenxu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, but his expression remained calm. He simply asked her, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen Mr. Li for quite a few days, and he seems much more approachable than before."
The more Song Yin acted this way, the more uncomfortable Li Chenxu felt. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Not at all, it's the same as before."
"Alright, alright, you two stop talking so much. Brother Chenxu, come here and sit closer. Let's hear about Song Yin and Ye Qi's situation. Maybe we can offer some advice."
As soon as Mu Xiaoyu spoke, Li Chenxu immediately understood why the two of them had looked at him the way they had just looked at him.
Recalling what Mu Xiaoyu had said to him that morning, Li Chenxu felt a warmth in his heart. Although he was somewhat unaccustomed to being close to others, he was willing to interact with them in this way.
He thought he could try to accept others and have friends like an ordinary person.
So Li Chenxu didn't say much and sat down on the other side of Mu Xiaoyu. He had no intention of glancing at Gu Yeqi. He was willing to spend more time with Song Yin and become ordinary friends with her, but he didn't say he wanted to do the same with Gu Yeqi.
He hadn't forgotten that Gu Yeqi had liked Mu Xiaoyu before; back then, Gu Yeqi was so determined to have Mu Xiaoyu. Even now that Gu Yeqi was with Song Yin, he still couldn't completely trust Gu Yeqi.
Li Chenxu disliked Gu Yeqi, and Gu Yeqi disliked Li Chenxu in return.
Since Song Yin and Gu Yeqi arrived, neither Li Chenxu nor Gu Yeqi has glanced at the other.
Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin also noticed this. They exchanged a glance, and finally Song Yin reached out and tugged at Gu Yeqi's sleeve, glared at him, and whispered, "What are you standing there for? Come and sit down. Also, why don't you say hello to Mr. Li? We're all family, and we'll be seeing each other a lot in the future, right, Mr. Li?"
Li Chenxu frowned immediately. Although Song Yin and the others didn't say it, he understood what Song Yin meant. It was obvious that she wanted to change the relationship between him and Gu Yeqi.
Li Chenxu was unwilling, and he believed Gu Yeqi was unwilling too. So he subconsciously looked at Gu Yeqi, but to his surprise, after feeling his gaze, the other party actually smiled slightly at him: "Yinyin is right, we'll all be family from now on, and we need to work things out. Mr. Li, I hope you won't hold the past against me. After all, I was young and immature, and I hope you can forgive me and forget about the past. From now on, we'll be good friends."
Gu Yeqi naturally disliked Li Chenxu. How could Xiaoyu forgive Li Chenxu for all the mistakes he'd made? Li Chenxu wasn't exactly a good-natured person to begin with, and if Song Yin hadn't spoken up, he wouldn't have wanted to say a single word to him!
