Chapter 582: Have you given up yet?
"Am I hallucinating?"
As Li Chenxu walked towards her step by step, Mu Xiaoyu waved her hand in front of her eyes.
Song Yin, who was standing to the side, supported the unsteady Mu Xiaoyu. She first hiccuped from drinking, and then muttered softly, "That's right, that's right, it's your husband who came to pick you up and take you home."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Chenxu had already walked up to Mu Xiaoyu and taken her from her arms. His seemingly deep eyes swept over everyone present, and finally he nodded to them, saying sincerely, "Xiaoyu, thank you all for your trouble. Have you all had a drink? I'll have someone take you back later. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
These words caused everyone present to widen their eyes instantly. Anyone who knew even a little about Li Chenxu from the past could not believe that he would say such a thing.
Indeed, love is a powerful medicine that can change a person.
Apart from Gu Yeqi and Song Yin, everyone else nodded hurriedly, and finally watched Li Chenxu leave with Mu Xiaoyu.
"Have you given up yet?"
Song Yin stood beside Gu Yeqi, sighed, and said with a slightly melancholy expression.
Gu Yeqi glanced at Song Yin indifferently and slowly said, "No."
"It's already this late and it's still not here?"
Song Yin turned to look at Gu Yeqi in surprise, completely baffled as to why he was so stubborn. Even someone like her could see that given the current situation between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, it was clear that no third party could possibly interfere.
If Mu Xiaoyu had even the slightest bit of affection for Gu Yeqi, the two might still have a chance.
But unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu's heart could only hold Li Chenxu; there was no other man for her. Song Yin could almost say with certainty that there were only two possible outcomes for Mu Xiaoyu in this lifetime: either she would grow old with Li Chenxu, or she would live a lonely life alone.
In any case, Gu Yeqi could not possibly exist in either one. She knew Gu Yeqi was a smart kid; he should be able to see such a simple truth.
But now, they're saying they haven't given up, which is really strange.
Gu Yeqi saw the shock and complexity in Song Yin's eyes, and finally looked away, looking at the tail of the car where Li Chenxu and the others were gradually disappearing.
After a long silence, she spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "I know what you're thinking, and I know that there's no future for me and Sister Xiaoyu. I know all of this. But what's the use of knowing? People's hearts are something we can't control. I like her, and for some reason, that liking hasn't lessened; it's only grown stronger every day. Even though I keep telling myself to give her up, I still can't do it. It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I simply can't give her up. Sister Song Yin, do you understand?"
Gu Yeqi wasn't even twenty yet, but because of his family background and his position in the entertainment industry, he was much more mature than his peers. Even when she said these words, Song Yin didn't treat him like a child.
Because of Gu Yeqi's bitter and self-deprecating words, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
She couldn't help but sigh, then patted Gu Yeqi's shoulder twice and said, "Forget it, let nature take its course. Maybe if you two see each other less in the future, things will get better."
After saying that, Song Yin originally planned to leave. She was also a little sleepy and wanted to go back to rest early.
But just then, Gu Yeqi suddenly called out to her.
"Sister Song Yin, are you free? If you don't have any engagements tomorrow, how about we find a place to grab a few drinks?"
Song Yin had already drunk quite a bit tonight, and her first instinct was to refuse. But before she could even utter the words, seeing Gu Yeqi's pitiful look, she suddenly found herself unable to say them.
Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, or perhaps out of pity for Gu Yeqi, Song Yin finally agreed.
Both being public figures, they couldn't go to ordinary bars. So they went directly to Song Yin's apartment and had their agents buy several bottles of alcohol, which they drank at home.
Although Gu Yeqi usually appears sunny and cheerful, he has suffered setbacks in his love life, so he doesn't talk much while drinking and just keeps drinking in silence.
Seeing how much he was drinking, Song Yin unconsciously started drinking herself. And so, the two of them held onto the bottles, barely letting go.
At that moment, Mu Xiaoyu, who was in the car, was fast asleep in Li Chenxu's arms with her eyes closed.
She always becomes very quiet after getting drunk, never making a fuss, which is very endearing.
At this moment, however, Li Chenxu couldn't bring himself to like it.
For some reason, the grievances she felt at that moment were magnified infinitely. She was feeling extremely upset, but Mu Xiaoyu was completely oblivious, sleeping soundly while she was drunk.
No matter how Li Chenxu thought about it, he couldn't stand it and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Mu Xiaoyu's nose.
Her breathing was blocked, and Mu Xiaoyu immediately reached out to slap Li Chenxu's hand that was pinching her nose.
Unfortunately, she was drunk and still asleep, so her hands were limp and had no strength at all. When she patted Li Chenxu's hand, it was as if she was touching Li Chenxu's hand, and it had no effect whatsoever.
Li Chenxu still pinched Mu Xiaoyu's nose and didn't let go. After a while, even if Mu Xiaoyu was sleeping very soundly, she would wake up.
She opened her eyes groggily, still a little disoriented from just waking up. She squinted and stared blankly at Li Chenxu for a while before finally speaking in a hoarse voice, "Brother Chenxu? What are you doing here?"
"I'll take you home."
Li Chenxu's tone was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of awkwardness and grievance in his voice. Normally, Mu Xiaoyu might have noticed it, but at this moment she was a little out of it herself, so how could she possibly hear what was wrong with Li Chenxu?
Hearing this, he reached out and pinched his brow, saying wearily, "I thought you'd be busy until very late today."
“I’ve said before that right now, your affairs are more important than the company’s.”
Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Li Chenxu continued before Mu Xiaoyu could speak, "When I called you earlier, you wouldn't let me come. Clearly, on a day like today, I should be the one by your side. Xiaoyu, tell me the truth, are you still resentful towards me?"
