Chapter 371 You Know the Password
Li Chenxu's voice at this moment was so gentle it was almost sickening. I had seen Li Chenxu gentle before, but it was always just the right amount of gentleness, like a spring breeze.
Unlike now, when he deliberately tried to tease Mu Xiaoyu, the sound made Mu Xiaoyu's skin crawl.
She subconsciously rubbed her arms, looking at Li Chenxu with disgust: "Stop pretending, the way you are... really makes me want to..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a half-smile on his face, as if he would do something to Mu Xiaoyu if she said anything that displeased him.
In Mu Xiaoxin's mind, Li Chenxu was an extremely cunning person. However, Li Chenxu was usually too good to her, so she always felt that Li Chenxu would not do anything.
So at this moment, although Mu Xiaoyu felt a little guilty, she still said directly, "If you say that, I really feel... my stomach is churning..."
Mu Xiaoyu's words were veiled. If she had directly said she wanted to vomit, given Li Chenxu's cunning nature, he would definitely have held a grudge for a while and would have dealt with her when the time was right.
"That's it."
After listening, Li Chenxu acted as if nothing had happened, and even let out a long "ah" at the end, with an expression that said, "So that's how it is."
His appearance was so strange that Mu Xiaoyu felt a sudden panic, and her throat tightened involuntarily. She looked at his small eyes, opened her mouth, and was about to ask him what he wanted when Li Chenxu suddenly spoke again.
He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and brought it to Mu Xiaoyu's lips, letting out a soft "ah" as he continued in his incredibly gentle, almost sickeningly sweet voice, "If you don't like it, I'll try my best not to speak in that tone, but you know, when emotions run deep, sometimes it's not so easy to control your feelings, is it?"
His tone grew increasingly cloying, and Mu Xiaoyu stared at Li Chenxu with wide eyes. She knew that Li Chenxu was clearly doing this on purpose!
She was so angry she wanted to bite him, but she couldn't lash out at the moment. In the end, all she could do was glare at Li Chenxu and lower her voice, speaking in a volume only the two of them could hear, "Li Chenxu! You can't keep teasing me! I'm a patient!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu blinked innocently at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "I'm not teasing you, Xiaoyu. I have a sincere heart for you. You can't treat me like this."
Li Chenxu showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he looked at Mu Xiaoyu accusingly. Anyone unaware of the situation would have thought that Mu Xiaoyu had done something wrong.
Mu Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment, then, as if venting her anger, she swallowed the porridge that Li Chenxu had put to her mouth in one gulp. It was just a mouthful of porridge, which she could have swallowed immediately, but the way Mu Xiaoyu bit down hard made it seem as if she was biting Li Chenxu, not just a mouthful of porridge.
Li Chenxu found it amusing. If he weren't concerned about Mu Xiaoyu's health, he would have liked to continue teasing her.
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. The porridge is too hot. It must be uncomfortable for you to hold it. I'll feed you."
At this moment, Li Chenxu's tone returned to normal. Only two minutes had passed since he started teasing Mu Xiaoyu. If it were the cunning Li Chenxu from before, that amount of time would not have been enough.
Ultimately, it's because he cherishes Mu Xiaoyu dearly. Even when he's teasing her, seeing her angry makes him the one who feels the most pain.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to talk to Li Chenxu at all. Seeing this, she snorted heavily and didn't say anything. She just kept drinking her porridge, looking just like a child.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother, who had been sitting to the side, finally couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mu Xiaoyu's appearance.
She looked at Li Chenxu and said, "Chenxu, don't spoil Xiaoyu too much. Look at her now, she's just like a child. If you didn't know better, you'd think Xiaoyu was still a child."
Although that's what she said, she was actually happy that Li Chenxu doted on Mu Xiaoyu so much. Seeing how good their relationship was, her eyes and brows were filled with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu's lips curled slightly, and this time his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu was genuinely full of doting affection.
“I like it when she’s like a child in front of me, something only her closest people can see. And she’s not a child, after all, she’s stronger than anyone else when I’m not around.”
No one understands Mu Xiaoyu better than Li Chenxu. Just as he said, Mu Xiaoyu often seems like an innocent girl in front of Li Chenxu, whether she speaks or acts in front of him. But it is precisely because she likes Li Chenxu and trusts him that she acts this way.
If Li Chenxu wasn't around, she could be as calm as him.
Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu are always supporting and helping each other.
These are all things they can offer each other.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother didn't say anything after hearing this. Li Chenxu's appearance unconsciously reminded her of the time when she and Mu Pengzheng had just gotten together.
The best time for her and Mu Pengzheng was before they got married.
Mu Pengzheng was genuinely good to her, but the things he did to her later truly disheartened her.
She couldn't help but chuckle. It was funny, really; the older you get, the less you should dwell on the past. But for some reason, lately she'd been finding herself thinking about those things from time to time.
Perhaps, she really has gotten old.
Mu Xiaoyu was not seriously injured, and since this matter should not be delayed for too long, after resting in the hospital for a few hours, the group went directly to the bank.
When they arrived, the bank was close to closing time. However, given Li Chenxu's status, the bank staff naturally dared not be negligent. So, after Li Chenxu's people had given them advance notice, they waited there for Mu Xiaoyu and the others.
"Now you can take the things out, right?"
Mu Xiaoyu and the others handed over their identification documents, and then gave the things that Mu Pengzheng had left behind to the bank manager.
The manager looked at Mu Xiaoyu and hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll get the things out right away."
After saying that, seeing Mu Xiaoyu and the others nod, the manager immediately went in and took out the things that Mu Pengzheng had left behind.
It was a locked box. After the manager took it out, he said to Mu Xiaoyu and the others, "Mr. Mu set this lock because he was afraid something might happen to us, so he set this password and said that Miss Mu and Mrs. Mu would know the password."
