Chapter 217: Retreat
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu glanced down at Mu Xiaoyu, then looked in the direction Xu Sulin had left. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "It's precisely because the change is so obvious that it makes people feel even more uneasy..."
He seemed to be talking to himself. If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't been so close to Li Chenxu, she wouldn't have been able to hear what he was saying at all.
In fact, she shared the same thought as Li Chenxu: even if someone were to change, it was impossible for them to become like this in such a short time. Today, she secretly observed Xu Sulin, and all of Xu Sulin's emotions had been suppressed, making him seem like a completely different person.
Looking back at what Xu Sulin had done, seeing him like this now... is not a good thing for them...
"Let's not talk about that. What are you planning to do now? Will you blame me for what I said earlier? You know, many people are eager to be the head of the Li family. Will you be reluctant to give it up?"
Li Chenxu was thinking about other things when he suddenly heard Mu Xiaoyu's words and immediately looked down at Mu Xiaoyu.
The other person was looking at him at that moment. Although he was saying things that sounded guilty, there was no hint of guilt on his face. He was smiling and looked so cute that you couldn't help but want to give him a big kiss.
Li Chenxu has never been one to wrong himself. He cupped Mu Xiaoyu's face in his hands, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Mu Xiaoyu closed her eyes and tilted her head back to respond to Li Chenxu's kiss. She loved this feeling, especially the wonderful sensation of their lips and teeth mingling during the kiss, which made her feel as if she and Li Chenxu were one.
This kiss was brief and didn't last long. Even so, Mu Xiaoyu's lips were still very moist from the kiss, which made Li Chenxu's eyes darken even more.
He released Mu Xiaoyu, turned his face away and coughed to cover his mouth before saying, "Actually, I've been planning to break away from the Li family for the past few years..."
Undeniably, a large part of what Li Chenxu possesses now is initially due to his surname, Li. From the moment he was born, his starting point was an end point that many people can never reach in their entire lives.
However, since Li Chenxu took over the Li family, the wealth and status of the Li family have increased several times over in the many years since then.
Anyone with even a slight understanding of this area knows that Li Chenxu's talent goes far beyond what they perceive.
Regardless of whether Li Chenxu was prepared, just the fact that the news of his departure from the Li Group has been released means that countless companies will come knocking on his door. Although the money certainly won't be what it was at the Li Group, it will still be enough to protect Mu Xiaoyu's safety.
However, these were all last resorts taken when Li Chenxu was unprepared.
"So, you've been thinking about leaving the Li family for a while now?"
After hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise. Especially after reconciling with Li Chenxu and their relationship becoming increasingly intimate, she became more and more aware of Li Chenxu's excellence. However, whenever she heard Li Chenxu talk to her about this, she still couldn't help but marvel at it.
Mu Xiaoyu's surprised expression successfully amused Li Chenxu. He put his arm around Mu Xiaoyu's shoulder, couldn't resist giving her a light bite on the lips, and then said slowly, "Actually, I didn't expect this day to come at first. This company was also... prepared for you..."
One of the reasons why Old Master Li disliked Mu Xiaoyu the most was that Mu Xiaoyu had no background or connections and could not help the Li family at all. Even among girls of the same age, Mu Xiaoyu earned far more money than them, but in Old Master Li's eyes, that money was not worth mentioning at all.
So, back when Li Chenxu married Mu Xiaoyu, he had already started planning this.
Although his relationship with Old Master Li was not close, they were still blood relatives who were bound by blood. Mu Xiaoyu was the woman he loved most, and he could not completely favor either side.
Therefore, this method was used in order to ease the relationship between Mu Xiaoyu and the Li family.
I never expected it would be used at this time.
Mu Xiaoyu was speechless, staring blankly at Li Chenxu, a complex mix of emotions swirling in her mind. There was gratitude, joy, and above all, a growing fondness for Li Chenxu.
“Brother Shenxu, why are you so good to me? I was so bad to you before… before…” You still do these things for me.
No one knew better than Mu Xiaoyu how busy Li Chenxu was, yet he still made time for her every day to prepare.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's tearful expression, Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and affectionately ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair, smiling as he said, "If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to? You are the woman I love most, and the only woman in my life. Tell me, besides being good to you, who else could I be good to?"
"But I used to have such a bad temper and I always misunderstood you. Didn't you feel bad about that...?"
This time, Li Chenxu fell silent, his expression somewhat dazed, as if he were recalling the past. Strangely enough, it hadn't even been a year since he and Mu Xiaoyu reconciled, but it felt like a long time had passed, to the point that recalling those unpleasant days now felt somewhat blurry.
However, since they weren't pleasant memories to begin with, it's actually a good thing that you can't remember them.
"That's all in the past. Besides, I made more mistakes back then. If I had calmed down and talked to you properly, those things wouldn't have happened... Okay, the past is the past, let's not talk about it anymore. I told you what just happened so that you could put your mind at ease and know that I will protect you no matter what."
His calm voice carried a firm strength, which made Mu Xiaoyu trust Li Chenxu unconditionally.
Even if Li Chenxu really had nothing left, just like what Mu Xiaoyu said to spite Old Master Li, and he really died, for Mu Xiaoyu, having Li Chenxu by her side would be enough.
She's not a greedy person; having her loved ones by her side is enough for her...
Old Master Li acted swiftly; less than an hour after he left, someone came to Li Chenxu's door to discuss matters related to the Li Group. Mu Xiaoyu recognized some of those people; several had been with Li Chenxu for many years.
"Sir, are you really planning to leave the Li family?"
