Chapter 8 House Arrest
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu's mind was a complete blank. She had no idea what was wrong with Li Chenxu. She just wanted to comfort and reassure him, so why was he reacting so strongly?
And what was he planning? What was she planning? She clearly wasn't thinking anything at all…
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Li Chenxu, a faint sense of grievance flashing through her heart for a moment. Ignoring the pain in her lips, Mu Xiaoyu bit her lip and asked Li Chenxu, "What do you mean by that? Explain yourself! What exactly am I planning?"
Li Chenxu didn't speak; he was by nature a man of few words. He usually gave off an aloof and unapproachable vibe, and now, with a somber face, the atmosphere around him seemed to have plummeted to freezing point.
It's only because Mu Xiaoyu is brave that she wasn't completely frightened by Li Chenxu's appearance. If it were anyone else, they would have been terrified long ago.
Li Chenxu stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu, his deep eyes flashing with fury. Mu Xiaoyu dared to ask him what he was up to? She just wanted a divorce! He wouldn't agree, neither before nor now!
Being inside the car wasn't a good place to talk. Seeing that Li Chenxu remained silent, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more. But she wouldn't let it go so easily; this time, she had to have a serious talk with Li Chenxu.
Neither Li Chenxu nor Mu Xiaoyu spoke the rest of the way. The atmosphere between them plummeted to freezing point until the car came to a smooth stop outside the villa, breaking the icy silence between them.
"Get off the bus and come home with me."
Li Chenxu spoke first, and without giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to react, he forcefully pulled her hand and got out of the car.
Mu Xiaoyu was slender and, due to her profession, didn't exercise often, so she naturally looked delicate and frail. Now, being pulled so forcefully by Li Chenxu, her hands were in great pain.
She struggled instinctively, but the more she struggled, the more Li Chenxu believed that she wanted a divorce. Li Chenxu remained almost silent the entire way, his lips pressed tightly together, his face dark as he dragged Mu Xiaoyu into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed.
"Li Chenxu! What's wrong with you? What did I do to offend you?!"
Even though Li Chenxu defended her at the banquet before, his current actions have negated what happened before!
Li Chenxu is just too domineering and unreasonable!
"Going crazy? Mu Xiaoyu, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'll just tell you straight: don't even think about divorce. From now on, you're staying here and you're not going anywhere!"
"Li Chenxu, you son of a bitch, are you a pervert? What era are we living in? Do you still want to keep me under house arrest?"
Mu Xiaoyu was so angry with Li Chenxu that she swore. Li Chenxu, who was about to leave, paused when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words. He thought Li Chenxu was going to turn back and teach Mu Xiaoyu a lesson, but he only paused for a moment, and then slammed the door and left.
Mu Xiaoyu was no longer someone to be trifled with. Seeing Li Chenxu leave, she quickly got out of bed and wanted to leave as well.
But the door was locked from the outside, and no matter what Mu Xiaoyu did, the door didn't react at all.
This time, Li Chenxu was serious and was going to keep her under house arrest here!
Mu Xiaoyu stood in front of the door, feeling both angry and aggrieved, as if she wanted to cry. She had clearly given up the idea of divorcing Li Chenxu, but Li Chenxu didn't even give her a chance to explain before putting her under house arrest. She had never met such an unreasonable person as Li Chenxu.
Despite her anger, Mu Xiaoyu was now locked up here by Li Chenxu and there was nothing she could do. In just over a day, she had experienced so many changes that she was exhausted both physically and mentally. So she stopped thinking about it and went to rest.
Inside the villa, Li Chenxu wasn't as composed as Mu Xiaoyu. After leaving the room, he immediately went to the study. Li Chenxu needed some peace and quiet. He was a mature adult man who had managed the Li family business for many years. No matter what happened, he could remain calm and collected. However, when it came to Mu Xiaoyu, he would always lose his composure and become irritable and easily angered.
The thought of Mu Xiaoyu insisting on a divorce sent a jolt of headache through Li Chenxu. He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples wearily. Even he, when faced with matters of the heart, was at a loss for what to do.
But there was one thing he was always absolutely clear about: he couldn't get a divorce. No matter the past, present, or future, Mu Xiaoyu could only belong to him, Li Chenxu!
Because of an argument with Li Chenxu the previous night, Mu Xiaoyu accidentally swore, so Li Chenxu hired an etiquette teacher for her that very night. The etiquette teacher arrived at Mu Xiaoyu's door while she was still in bed the next day.
Mu Xiaoyu was used to sleeping in late, and since she was a heavy sleeper, when the housekeeper woke her up, the etiquette teacher had already been there for almost two hours.
When she finished getting ready and came downstairs, the etiquette teacher's smile was already on the verge of collapse. When she saw Mu Xiaoyu looking at her, her eyes seemed to want to poke a hole in Mu Xiaoyu. If it weren't for Li Chenxu being there, she might have used teaching Mu Xiaoyu etiquette as an excuse to take revenge on her.
Mu Xiaoyu saw all of this, but no one in her family told her who this woman who suddenly appeared was, so she didn't take it to heart. After going downstairs, she didn't even glance at the etiquette teacher and Li Chenxu, and went to get breakfast without looking at them.
"Mrs. Li, what you're doing doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules."
The etiquette teacher spoke with complete confidence. She was originally hired by Li Chenxu to teach Mu Xiaoyu etiquette. Now that Mu Xiaoyu was ignoring them, it was only natural for her to say a few words. Even Li Chenxu wouldn't say anything.
Mu Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks upon hearing this. She turned to look at the etiquette teacher, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Not in accordance with the rules? What did I do wrong? And who are you?"
Before the etiquette teacher could answer, the butler quickly approached Mu Xiaoyu and whispered, "Madam, this is Ms. Xu Lan, the etiquette teacher that the master has hired for you. Starting today, she will be in charge of your etiquette lessons."
"Etiquette teacher?"
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu with some disbelief, but seeing that he remained silent, she knew that the butler was not lying.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu laughed in exasperation. She had accidentally swore yesterday, and felt a little guilty afterward. But she had sworn because of what Li Chenxu had done, and for such a trivial matter, Li Chenxu had hired an etiquette teacher for her? Wasn't that a bit too 'good' to her?
