Chapter 299 Mu Xiaoyu's Relief
Mu Xiaoyu was already incredibly attractive to Li Chenxu. In front of others, Li Chenxu could be a man of great virtue, but in front of Mu Xiaoyu, all of Li Chenxu's self-control turned to ashes.
He hadn't been teased by Mu Xiaoyu for long, and he was already feeling the effects. His handsome face was flushed with a blush from the effort of enduring the teasing.
It's often said that beautiful women bring trouble, but when Mu Xiaoyu saw Li Chenxu like this, she felt that handsome men could also bring trouble.
She looked up at Li Chenxu, gazing at him intently, and couldn't help but reach out and wipe his face. But when she saw Li Chenxu's eyes suddenly darken, she immediately withdrew her hand.
She rested her head on Li Chenxu's chest, gently tracing circles on his chest with one hand, and whispered, "You can't do anything to me. You tormented me so badly last night, and you only promised me this morning. You can't go back on your word."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu suddenly remembered what Mu Xiaoyu had promised to tell him. And, perhaps it was just his imagination, but ever since the incident with Mu Pengzheng, Mu Xiaoyu seemed... to be becoming increasingly clingy to him?
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu's eyes cleared considerably. He looked down at Mu Xiaoyu in his arms, gently tucking the hair that had fallen behind her ears back behind her head, before saying, "Can you tell me what you said you were going to tell me now?"
"What do you want to say?"
Mu Xiaoyu had long since forgotten about the previous incident, and now that Li Chenxu had suddenly brought it up, she hadn't fully grasped the situation. She stared blankly at Li Chenxu for a few seconds before she suddenly understood what he was talking about!
She looked at Li Chenxu, her throat tightening nervously. It wasn't that she was afraid or unwilling to speak, but rather, she simply didn't know how to tell Li Chenxu. She felt ashamed even of herself if she were to reveal everything she had been thinking at the time!
However, since she had promised Li Chenxu several times already, it would indeed be unreasonable not to say it now.
For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu became somewhat embarrassed. She looked at Li Chenxu hesitantly, remaining silent for a long time.
Tonight, Li Chenxu was even more patient than usual. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's hesitant expression, he didn't urge her. Instead, he looked at Mu Xiaoyu with good temper and patiently waited for her answer.
And so, the two stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity before Mu Xiaoyu finally stammered, "I know all about what you did for me before, and why you married me."
After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu's face unconsciously flushed slightly. However, now that she had brought it up, things became much easier afterward.
She subconsciously took a deep breath and saw that Li Chenxu did not look surprised, as if he had expected it. Then she continued, "Even though we had confessed our feelings to each other before, I think you understand, Brother Chenxu, there has always been a little bit of a knot in my heart about why we got married in the first place."
"A tiny bump?"
At this moment, Li Chenxu finally spoke, raising an eyebrow at Mu Xiaoyu. If he remembered correctly, he had asked Mu Xiaoyu several times before, but Mu Xiaoyu had always said there was nothing wrong.
At that time, in order to conceal the whereabouts of Mu Xiaoyu's mother from Mu Pengzheng, Li Chenxu never truly told Mu Xiaoyu the real reason why he married her.
Later, Mu Peng learned that Mu Xiaoyu's mother was still alive, and the two met and talked for a long time. It was normal for Mu Xiaoyu to find out.
However, Li Chenxu really didn't expect that, given Mu Xiaoyu's temper, she would hold a grudge for so long.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's tone, Mu Xiaoyu immediately felt a little guilty. But upon further reflection, she realized she hadn't done anything wrong.
So Mu Xiaoyu coughed twice to cover up her guilty conscience and quickly explained, "It really was just a tiny bit! And after learning the whole truth, that tiny bit was long gone! Brother Chenxu! I want to tell you, I'm really... really so grateful!"
"Lucky?"
This time, Li Chenxu was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning behind Mu Xiaoyu's words.
Mu Xiaoyu has never been a proactive person. The affection she showed to Li Chenxu was almost the only initiative she had taken. Apart from that, no matter how proactive she was with other people's feelings, she could never do what Li Chenxu did.
What she's about to say will be even more proactive than what she's done before.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu became a little nervous.
She looked up at Li Chenxu, and although she was a little nervous, she looked into his dark eyes with an unprecedented seriousness.
Li Chenxu was captivated by Mu Xiaoyu's demeanor and didn't say anything more for a moment. He simply watched Mu Xiaoyu quietly, wanting to see what she wanted to say.
"Brother Chenxu, in my eyes before, you were really a bad person. You had a bad temper and were extremely irritable, and you were always verbally abusive towards me. To be honest, back then, I really couldn't see any reason why you liked me. Although I was wrong before, you were wrong too. If you hadn't been so difficult back then, maybe I would never have thought about divorce!"
Li Chenxu waited for a long time, thinking that Mu Xiaoyu would say something touching, but after waiting for so long, what he got was Mu Xiaoyu's accusation against him.
Immediately, Li Chenxu was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
He opened his mouth, about to admit his mistake and explain, but before he could say anything, Mu Xiaoyu seemed to have noticed his movement and raised her hand to cover his lips.
"Don't speak! Let me finish what I have to say in one go, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed to say it later!"
It was clear that Mu Xiaoyu was genuinely nervous; her hands, which were covering Li Chenxu's, were trembling slightly.
Li Chenxu's heart softened completely because of Mu Xiaoyu's words and actions.
He nodded, indicating that he understood Mu Xiaoyu's words, and would not say anything more.
Seeing his reaction, Mu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of his hand, glanced at Li Chenxu again, and only after confirming that he really wouldn't say anything did she continue, "But later, I figured out a lot of things and tried to get along with you properly. From that time on, I found that many things had changed. Many things were not what I had thought before, especially your feelings for me, Brother Chenxu."
