Chapter 574: Investigation
Li Chenxu has never been particularly interested in these kinds of games. He came here purely to spend more time with Mu Xiaoyu.
Now, he has no objection to whatever Mu Xiaoyu wants to play.
Mu Xiaoyu usually seems quite composed when she's out, but here she's like a child, showing interest in everything. She spent the entire morning dragging Li Chenxu around, barely stopping for a moment.
She used to dislike having her picture taken, but today she took photos with many Disney characters, her smile almost never fading. Her radiant smile was even brighter than the sun today.
Li Chenxu squinted at Mu Xiaoyu, who was taking a photo with Mickey Mouse. Seeing the smile on her face, the corners of his lips involuntarily turned up as well.
There were plenty of snacks sold inside Disneyland. Mu Xiaoyu doesn't have a particularly big appetite, so she got full quickly after eating some snacks and couldn't eat any proper meals. So after playing for a while, the two of them found a place to rest.
I don’t know if it’s because I walked too much today, but right now Mu Xiaoyu feels a bit uncomfortable in her stomach.
She glanced at Li Chenxu furtively. It seemed someone from the company had sent him a text message about company matters, but Li Chenxu was busy dealing with those matters and hadn't noticed anything amiss with her.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu secretly rubbed her stomach.
Just then, Li Chenxu looked over at her. Seeing her rubbing her stomach, his brows immediately furrowed. He put down his phone, placed his hand on her stomach, gently rubbed it, and asked softly, "Is your stomach uncomfortable?"
"No...maybe I ate too much just now..."
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little guilty. She couldn't possibly tell Li Chenxu the truth at this time, could she? What if Li Chenxu found out about her pregnancy? That would be terrible.
It was unclear whether Li Chenxu believed Mu Xiaoyu's words, but his furrowed brows remained unchanged. He stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a moment, then finally released her hand, stood up, and said, "Go to the hospital to get checked out. I've noticed these past few days that your complexion isn't as good as before."
Li Chenxu had been by Mu Xiaoyu's side the whole time, and the food Mu Xiaoyu ate was all made by him and had some nutritional value. Mu Xiaoyu had also had enough rest, so she shouldn't look so bad now.
"No need, I don't feel anything myself."
Mu Xiaoyu refused without even thinking. Of course, she couldn't agree. If she did, everything would be exposed when she went to the hospital.
Even at this point, she still didn't want Li Chenxu to know about her pregnancy.
Li Chenxu's expression darkened slightly. He could agree to most other things with Mu Xiaoyu, but he was always resolute on these matters.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu did not agree, he sat down again and remained silent for a long time before saying, "You can not go, but if your stomach is still uncomfortable after a while, you must go."
At this point, Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu, his deep eyes filled with solemnity: "Xiaoyu, you will officially debut the day after tomorrow. Your work will only be busier than before. If you don't take care of your health now, what will you do if you ruin it later?"
Actually, Song Yin had already instructed Chen Shu not to give Mu Xiaoyu too many gigs. But seeing Li Chenxu like this now, she suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason.
At the same time, she was also somewhat uncertain. She was unsure whether keeping her pregnancy a secret from Li Chenxu was a good thing or a bad thing.
For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze toward Li Chenxu was more complex than ever before.
Li Chenxu was an extremely shrewd person; he could tell from Mu Xiaoyu's expression that something was wrong. And now it seemed that Mu Xiaoyu didn't want him to know what was on her mind.
In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li Chenxu's mind. Finally, he looked at Mu Xiaoyu and slowly nodded before saying, "Sit here for a while, I'll go buy you some hot drinks."
"I don't want milk tea, just a cup of hot milk will do."
The doctor had previously advised against giving the baby many beverages as they could be harmful. Mu Xiaoyu had already borrowed coffee and tea, and now only drinks milk, water, and juice.
Li Chenxu nodded, took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and then left.
He walked towards the place selling hot milk, and only after he was out of Mu Xiaoyu's sight did he take out his phone and dial Lin Zhu's number.
"Sir? Is there something you need at this hour?"
Lin Zhu knew that Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu would be at Disneyland these two days, so he was a little surprised that Li Chenxu would call him at this time.
Li Chenxu gave a soft "hmm," then glanced subconsciously in Mu Xiaoyu's direction before finally saying, "Could you check if anything happened to Xiaoyu while I was away from the country recently?"
"Sir...wouldn't it be bad if Madam found out about this?"
Lin Zhu had been with Li Chenxu for so long, and because of his own circumstances, he knew Mu Xiaoyu very well. If Mu Xiaoyu found out that Li Chenxu was secretly investigating her, given Mu Xiaoyu's personality, there would definitely be some kind of conflict between her and Li Chenxu.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu did not speak immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and, after a long pause, said to Assistant Lin on the other end of the phone with a half-smile, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, will she know?"
Lin Zhu was a smart man and immediately understood what Li Chenxu meant. So he didn't say anything more, and seeing that Li Chenxu didn't have any more instructions, he hung up the phone and went to do his job.
After hanging up the phone, Li Chenxu did not leave. Instead, he bought hot milk and stood there until he felt the milk in his hand cool down before taking it back.
Mu Xiaoyu remained seated, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps contemplating something, unaware of Li Chenxu's return.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Chenxu sat down next to Mu Xiaoyu, placed the hot milk in Mu Xiaoyu's hand, and asked with a smile.
Mu Xiaoyu was instantly jolted awake by his words. She glanced at the milk in her hand, then shook her head at Li Chenxu and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything. I'm just... a little tired. I've only played for a little while and I'm already exhausted. There are still so many places we haven't been to yet. I'm just too tired..."
She was really tired. Now that she sat down with nothing to do, she just wanted to sleep. If you gave her a bed right now, she'd probably fall asleep immediately.
