Chapter 33 Explanation
Mu Xiaoyu thought she had misheard and looked at Li Chenxu in disbelief: "You... what did you say? You feel sorry for me?"
Mu Xiaoyu's reaction immediately reminded Li Chenxu of their argument the day before yesterday. He knew very well that even now, Mu Xiaoyu still didn't believe in his feelings. But it didn't matter anymore; he had a lifetime to slowly prove his feelings for Mu Xiaoyu. As long as Mu Xiaoyu was alright for now, that was enough.
"Xiaoyu, you heard me right, I'm truly heartbroken. I know you won't believe me now, but I'll slowly prove to you that everything I'm saying is true."
Because of Mu Xiaoyu's illness, Li Chenxu put aside all his sharp edges and gave her all his patience and gentleness. This was the first time he had completely and honestly expressed his feelings for Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu had never seen Li Chenxu so gentle and patient before. She thought it was her imagination and stared at Li Chenxu blankly for a moment, without any reaction.
Li Chenxu wasn't in a hurry. He remained in a half-squatting position, patiently staring at Mu Xiaoyu's answer.
"If what you're saying is true... then why are you with other women, Li Chenxu... do you really think I, Mu Xiaoyu, am that easy to fool?"
Mu Xiaoyu wanted to question Li Chenxu loudly, but she couldn't utter a single word. Just those two sentences had almost exhausted all her strength.
Li Chenxu felt sorry for Mu Xiaoyu and quickly fed her some more water. Then he rubbed his temples and explained helplessly, "Last night, Liang Yi invited me out for drinks. At that time... I wasn't in a good mood, so I drank a few more glasses and got a little drunk. I didn't even know when Liang Yi called Lin Xia over. I only sobered up a bit when I left the bar, but by then I had already asked Lin Xia to leave. Those photos on TV were all taken from a different angle; they're fake."
Li Chenxu wasn't good at explaining things, but he didn't want too many misunderstandings between himself and Mu Xiaoyu. They had wasted too much time, and things were finally starting to look up; he didn't want everything to go back to square one because of outsiders.
Mu Xiaoyu knew very well that Li Chenxu was not a liar. Since he was willing to explain now, it meant that the matter was probably true. But when she thought of the photos she saw on TV this morning, Mu Xiaoyu still felt a tightness in her chest.
But she didn't want Li Chenxu to think she was a petty and calculating woman, so even though she was still a little uncomfortable, she didn't ask any further questions. She just gave a vague reply, barely believing Li Chenxu's words.
Sometimes, that's how feelings are. When you don't like someone, you don't care what they do or what kind of woman they're with. But when you like someone, even if you know they're not being ambiguous with you, you still feel uncomfortable whenever you're together.
This is how Mu Xiaoyu is now.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu remained silent, Li Chenxu was about to talk to her again when his phone suddenly rang. It was Liang Yi calling; if Liang Yi hadn't called Lin Xia over last night, he wouldn't have discovered what happened today.
In an instant, Li Chenxu's face darkened. He didn't try to hide it from Mu Xiaoyu and answered the phone directly.
"Chen Xu, I heard Mu Xiaoyu is sick, so I bought some things to come and see her. Which ward are you in now?"
Liang Yi's voice carried a hint of ingratiation, after all, it was the first time he had ever seen Li Chenxu so angry with him. The two had been brothers for so many years, and judging from Li Chenxu's reaction this morning, he knew that this guy was probably doomed for Mu Xiaoyu.
Li Chenxu was still a little angry and originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that his explanation might not be convincing enough, so he gave Liang Yi the ward number instead.
Liang Yi had arrived at the hospital a while ago, but he didn't know the ward number. Li Chenxu gave him the ward number, and within a few minutes, Liang Yi appeared in the ward.
"Still on an IV drip? Xiaoyu, how are you?"
Liang Yi first glanced at the expressionless Li Chenxu, then walked to the bedside and wanted to sit down, but before he could even touch the chair, he was stopped by a glare from Li Chenxu.
Liang Yi is known for his bad temper in the capital, but he and Li Chenxu are longtime friends, and since he was the one who made the mistake first, he naturally won't be angry about it.
Seeing that neither of them intended to speak to him, he quickly coughed lightly, covering his mouth to hide his embarrassment, before saying, "Actually, besides seeing Xiaoyu and apologizing, I also came here to give you an explanation..."
This time, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu finally reacted. They looked at Liang Yi, and although they didn't say anything, their eyes urged Liang Yi to continue.
Seeing this, Liang Yi stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "That entertainment news... I had someone check it out, and it was indeed Lin Xia who hired them. The photos were also taken from a different angle. What I have here is the complete video. Xiaoyu, once you see it, you'll know that Shen Xu is innocent."
As he spoke, Liang Yi took out all the photos from the file bag he had brought earlier, along with an iPad containing videos that his subordinates had previously uploaded. All the evidence was sufficient; Mu Xiaoyu would naturally believe it once she saw it.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't immediately take the things Liang Yi handed her. Deep down, she desperately wanted to know what had happened between Li Chenxu and Lin Xia last night. However, she was conflicted, not about her feelings for Li Chenxu. It was just… she simply didn't know how to face him.
If she really accepts these things, what will she become?
Just as Mu Xiaoyu was struggling with her decision, Li Chenxu suddenly took the iPad and the photos from her.
He sat down next to Mu Xiaoyu and gave her a very slight but gentle smile: "You're on an IV drip right now, so it's inconvenient for you to carry these. I'll hold them for you to look at."
Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief at Li Chenxu's response. She gave a soft "hmm" and began to watch the video attentively.
Liang Yi, standing to the side, was taken aback by the intimate atmosphere between the two and by Li Chenxu's faint smile just now.
He couldn't be mistaken, could he? When did these two become so harmonious?! And Li Chenxu's smile just now... it's simply unbelievable!
