Chapter 583: The Closest Person
This time, even if Mu Xiaoyu was slow to notice, she realized that something was wrong with Li Chenxu.
However, this was the first time she had ever seen Li Chenxu like this, and for a moment she couldn't believe her ears. She stared intently at Li Chenxu until she could truly see the grievance and resentment on his face, and then she realized that what she had just heard was not an illusion.
To put it simply, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
She didn't speak immediately, but instead observed Li Chenxu carefully with great interest, imprinting him firmly in her mind, before finally saying, "I'm sorry, I was drunk then and didn't even know what I was saying. This won't happen again. It was my fault."
She was almost sober now, and she was putting in no effort at all when coaxing Li Chenxu.
Unfortunately, Li Chenxu wasn't so easy to coax back at this moment.
He looked down at Mu Xiaoyu lying on his lap, snorted softly, and said, "Even if you were drunk then, you never thought of having me attend your celebration party before. I am your closest lover. Now, the two of us are the closest family in this world. You actually excluded me from this occasion. Xiaoyu, I am really heartbroken."
Li Chenxu is becoming increasingly accustomed to feigning weakness and playing the victim, and he's finding it increasingly easy. However, he doesn't do this often, so much so that Mu Xiaoyu usually doesn't even notice.
Every time he did this, Mu Xiaoyu was almost powerless to resist. Seeing Li Chenxu like this now, Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely distressed.
She quickly cupped Li Chenxu's face in her hands, looked up and kissed his lips, coaxing him, "Today's event isn't really a celebration banquet. I just wanted to thank Gu Yeqi and Song Yin for coming and supporting me. You don't like them either, and I was afraid you'd be upset if you saw them, so I didn't invite you."
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, seeing Li Chenxu's unmoved expression, she pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "Besides, you just said that we are the closest people in the world, not only lovers but also family. If it were a really important occasion, how could I possibly let you be absent? Brother Chenxu, don't you know how much I like you?"
Li Chenxu remained silent this time, his eyes lowered as he stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu, his emotions intense and burning.
He reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's face, his cool fingertips lingering on her skin as if he were extremely fond of the touch, and he didn't stop for a long time.
Mu Xiaoyu was not against being intimate with Li Chenxu in the first place, and given that she did feel guilty at the moment, it was even more impossible for her to stop Li Chenxu from doing what she wanted to do.
When she felt a tickle on her face and couldn't help but move, she finally spoke, "Brother Chenxu..."
"Just this once."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted her, saying, "Just this once. This must never happen again." He then looked intently at Mu Xiaoyu and continued, "Just this once. This must never happen again."
"I promise! Absolutely not!"
Mu Xiaoyu was quick-witted at this moment and immediately assured Li Chenxu.
She showed remorse sincerely, and after getting drunk, her fair face was flushed with a faint blush, making her look quite adorable. So Li Chenxu forgave her.
Mu Xiaoyu had sobered up considerably. Seeing that Li Chenxu was no longer angry, she let out a deep breath. Then she remembered Song Yin and the others and quickly asked, "By the way, did Song Yin and the others get back safely?"
"I originally asked someone to take them home, but Song Yin and Gu Yeqi seemed to be in a bad mood, so they went to Song Yin's house to drink."
Just before Mu Xiaoyu woke up, Li Chenxu received a call from Assistant Lin.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately got up from Li Chenxu, her small face full of surprise: "Are you sure it's the two of them?"
"if not?"
Li Chenxu didn't know whether Song Yin and Gu Yeqi had anything going on, so seeing Mu Xiaoyu's surprised expression, he couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the two of them don't get along?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly shook her head: "It's not that it's bad, but the two of them had absolutely no interaction before. If it weren't for me, they might be practically strangers. It's really quite unexpected that they would be drinking together."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu immediately understood. He pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Actually, it's not hard to guess. Think about it, Gu Yeqi likes you, while Song Yin dislikes me. The two of them actually have something in common. Now that they see how good our relationship is, they naturally feel uncomfortable, so it's normal for them to drink together."
"How can you think like that?"
Mu Xiaoyu glared at Li Chenxu with a look that seemed both angry and annoyed, but in her heart she felt that what Li Chenxu said didn't seem to have any problem. Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any reason why the two of them would have any connection.
However, we're all adults after all, and even the closest friends shouldn't be subject to excessive interference. As long as the two of them are doing well, that's enough.
The next day, the sky was clear and blue. Song Yin had almost blacked out from drinking the night before, and had little recollection of what happened afterward.
When she opened her eyes, the aches and pains throughout her body made her extremely uncomfortable. She stretched out her arms, trying to move, but as soon as she did, both arms hit something.
Or to be more precise, it seems like someone was hit.
For some unknown reason, Song Yin's eyes widened suddenly. Her whole body stiffened, and like a slow-motion scene in a movie, she slowly turned her head to look at the spot beside her.
On the large bed, besides her, lay a naked man. No, strictly speaking, he wasn't even old enough to be considered a man.
However, none of these are the key issues right now. The key issue is that this person is Gu Yeqi!
In that instant, the memory of blacking out from drinking last night suddenly returned to Song Yin's mind, and the things that had happened between the two of them kept replaying in her mind.
She yelled and kicked Gu Yeqi hard off the bed.
Gu Yeqi, who was fast asleep, was kicked off the bed and immediately woke up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stared blankly at Song Yin, clearly not understanding what was going on.
"What...what happened?"
