Chapter 386 They want us to be well
For someone of Li Chenxu's status, who has witnessed deceit and the ugliest side of human nature since childhood, it is extremely difficult for him to simply like someone.
But Li Chenxu not only fell in love with Mu Xiaoyu, he even sacrificed so much for her.
Even ordinary people might not be able to do it, let alone someone of Li Chenxu's status.
Whether it was Bai Luo or Song Yin, their feelings at this moment were no longer just surprise.
"Xiaoyu, you must cherish and protect everything you have now. Sometimes the world is far from as happy as it seems. There aren't many people like you and Mr. Li who truly love each other and are doing well together."
After a few seconds of silence, Song Yin suddenly spoke again, this time in a much more serious tone. Unlike Mu Xiaoyu, Song Yin was the type of person who didn't like to talk too much about many things.
This time, she was genuinely surprised by the relationship between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, and she truly hoped that Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu could be happy together.
Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback when Song Yin suddenly became so serious, then burst out laughing.
She nodded, gave a heavy "hmm," and held Song Yin's hand in one hand and Bai Luo's hand in the other, saying to the two of them, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. After all, being able to live well is already a blessing compared to most people."
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's reaction, Song Yin felt much more relieved. Bai Luo, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought, remaining silent as usual. Mu Xiaoyu assumed she was still preoccupied with the Bai family's affairs and didn't say anything more.
After finishing their conversation, the three of them ate some more, but finally couldn't hold on any longer, so they went to their respective rooms to rest.
When Mu Xiaoyu returned to the room, Li Chenxu was not asleep. He seemed to have just taken a shower, as his hair was not completely dry. He was leaning against the bed, reading a book. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu come in, Li Chenxu put down the book.
He waved to Mu Xiaoyu, signaling her to come over.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was much more obedient than during the day. Seeing this, she ran a few steps to Li Chenxu's side, took off her shoes, and snuggled directly into Li Chenxu's arms.
She raised her chin and looked up at Li Chenxu's slightly sharp jaw, asking, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for me?"
Li Chenxu did not deny it, and nodded, saying, "You stayed downstairs for so long, did you talk to Song Yin and the others about something?"
"After I told them our story, they all envied me."
"Envy you?"
Li Chenxu became interested. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Xiaoyu with great interest, seemingly not understanding why Song Yin and the others were envious.
Li Chenxu has high emotional and intellectual intelligence, but men and women have different perspectives on things, so at this moment Li Chenxu really didn't know why Song Yin and the others said that.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu suspiciously for a moment: "You really don't know?"
Logically, at this point, Li Chenxu should have been extremely narcissistic, saying that Song Yin and the others were envious because she had him as her husband. Li Chenxu's reaction, however, was completely unexpected by Mu Xiaoyu.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's innocent expression, Li Chenxu looked at her without any sign of faking or acting.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu for a few more seconds with some doubt, and finally, seeing that Li Chenxu really didn't seem to be lying, she muttered, "They envy the relationship between you and me, and they envy how good you are to me."
Mu Xiaoyu's words were rather subtle. If she had praised Li Chenxu too directly, given Li Chenxu's vain personality, he would have been extremely arrogant.
Even so, Li Chenxu still understood the deeper meaning behind Mu Xiaoyu's words.
Li Chenxu immediately smiled, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with a meaningful smile, and asked, "Do they mean they envy you for having a husband like me who is handsome, rich, and good to you?"
"You're so shameless. I've never seen anyone praise themselves like that before.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain, but now that she'd heard Li Chenxu's narcissistic words so much, she'd developed some immunity to them.
“They all hope we can be alright, after all, there aren’t many people like us anymore.”
This time, Li Chenxu put away his joking expression and seriously agreed. He then hugged Mu Xiaoyu tightly and said, "Yes, we will always be okay..."
Because everyone went to bed late the night before, they didn't get up until almost noon the next day.
When Mu Xiaoyu and the others got up, her mother was already in the kitchen preparing food for them with the family's maid. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu come down looking dazed, she quickly went over and took a towel to wipe Mu Xiaoyu's face.
The rub helped Mu Xiaoyu wake up a little. She rubbed her eyes and looked at her mother: "Mom, why didn't you sleep a little longer? You got up so early. You must not have slept well last night, right?"
"I slept quite soundly last night, it was alright. How about you? Did you sleep well?"
Perhaps wanting to make amends, she treats Mu Xiaoyu even better than before, spoiling her as if she were a two- or three-year-old baby.
The old Mu Xiaoyu would never have been used to it, but now Li Chenxu dotes on her so much that she doesn't feel too uncomfortable with her mother treating her this way.
Hearing her mother's words, she softly hummed in agreement, then craned her neck to look towards the kitchen. Afterward, she pursed her lips and asked, "Mom, what delicious food is prepared in the kitchen today? I'm hungry and want to eat something first, but I don't want dessert."
These past few days, thanks to Li Chenxu and her mother personally cooking, Mu Xiaoyu felt that the food was much tastier than usual. Just thinking about yesterday's dishes made her mouth water.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's greedy look, her mother couldn't help but laugh. While pulling Mu Xiaoyu towards the kitchen, she said, "I prepared this for you a long time ago. This is vegetable glutinous rice ball, which tastes much better than ordinary glutinous rice balls. You can fill your stomach a little first, and then you can have lunch after Chen Xu, Yin Yin, and Luo Luo come down."
The vegetable dumplings that Mu's mother served to Mu Xiaoyu were completely different from what she usually ate. They were all colorful and had a lot of roasted sesame seeds on them, making them smell especially fragrant.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't particularly hungry at first, but as soon as she smelled the aroma, her stomach growled loudly, and even the maid in the living room heard it.
