Chapter 188 I advise you to use your brain
Upon hearing this question, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. Didn't she know who Li Chenxu was and what his family background was? How could he possibly learn something like massage?
"I did study it."
Just then, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke up. When he said this, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
Mu Xiaoyu was so shocked she could hardly breathe. She thought she was hallucinating, so she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her eyes. It seemed like it wasn't a hallucination after all. Her gaze towards Li Chenxu suddenly became indescribable.
"Brother Chenxu, how...why did you learn these things?"
"What do you think?"
Li Chenxu didn't answer, but raised an eyebrow and asked Mu Xiaoyu instead. Mu Xiaoyu hadn't considered the possibility of this happening to her, but seeing Li Chenxu's expression, she became somewhat uncertain.
She observed Li Chenxu closely for a few seconds, then asked uncertainly, "Could it be... because of me...?"
"If not because of you, then who else could it be because of?"
Li Chenxu glanced helplessly at Mu Xiaoyu, but didn't say much about it. He remembered clearly that before they reconciled, during their first time together, he had also exhausted Mu Xiaoyu quite a bit. So, while Mu Xiaoyu was asleep, he gave her a massage, but because he was unfamiliar with the movements and had never done that before, it had the opposite effect.
It was after that incident that Li Chenxu consulted with the relevant staff and learned a little about it, all in order to prevent such a situation from happening again in the future.
However, it's enough for him to know all this. Mu Xiaoyu only needs to enjoy his kindness to her without feeling any guilt. For him, that's enough.
After Mu Xiaoyu woke up, Li Chenxu stayed with her for a while before going to the company. Mu Xiaoyu stayed home to finish her manuscript. The movie's press conference was in a few days, and there were also several book signings that hadn't finished yet. She would only get busier and busier, and she probably wouldn't have much time to actually stop and finish her manuscript. So, if she had any time now, Mu Xiaoyu wanted to try to draw as much as possible.
Compared to yesterday's bright sunshine, the entire capital city is shrouded in gloom today, a dark and heavy expanse that looks like it could rain at any moment.
Mu Xiaoyu has never liked rainy days. After painting for a while, she suddenly heard a deafening thunderclap outside. The huge roar caught Mu Xiaoyu completely off guard, and she was so frightened that she dropped her paintbrush.
It was fortunate that there was a thick carpet in the study, otherwise her paintbrushes would have been ruined.
Even so, Mu Xiaoyu's mood suddenly became irritable. She picked up her paintbrush, placed it on the desk, and then walked to the huge French windows in the study, frowning as she looked at the dark sky outside, with its occasional flashes of lightning and thunder.
The weather in Beijing is dry, and it rarely rains. Weather like this is actually quite rare throughout the year.
Right now, the entire capital city seems to be shrouded in shadow, like the end of the world in a movie, with an indescribable sense of oppression that makes people feel inexplicably heavy-hearted.
Just then, the maid knocked and came in, placing the whitening drink prepared for Xiang Ning on the desk. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu staring blankly out the window, the maid wondered if something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
The maid's words pulled Mu Xiaoyu back to reality. She did have something on her mind, but there was no point in saying it out loud. Besides, Mu Xiaoyu didn't like to expose her vulnerable side to others, except in front of Li Chenxu.
Upon hearing the maid's words, she shook her head and said, "It's alright, you can go now."
Since Mu Xiaoyu had already said that, the maid couldn't say anything more, so she left the study. In an instant, only Mu Xiaoyu was left in the study.
She glanced at the drink the maid brought, then at the gloomy sky outside, lost in thought. After a while, she clicked her tongue impatiently, shook her head, and tried to sit down to continue working on her manuscript.
However, just as Mu Xiaoyu sat down, the landline phone in the study suddenly rang.
Thinking it was Li Chenxu calling, Mu Xiaoyu immediately wanted to answer the phone, but when she saw the number displayed on the landline, she frowned and stopped answering.
The caller ID showed a number that was neither Li Chenxu's nor any number she knew.
Anyone who knows the landline number in the study must be someone with a deep connection to the Li family or Li Chenxu; otherwise, they wouldn't know the Li family's landline number.
Suddenly, a bad feeling washed over Mu Xiaoyu.
However, she didn't hesitate for long before answering the phone.
"Mu Xiaoyu?"
The familiar voice of Xu Sulin on the other end of the phone immediately put Mu Xiaoyu on alert. She didn't answer Xu Sulin right away, and only when Xu Sulin on the other end of the phone became a little impatient did he slowly speak: "What is it?"
His voice was cold, carrying obvious aloofness and disdain.
Mu Xiaoyu's tone surprised Xu Sulin for a few seconds, but only for a few seconds. The next second, Xu Sulin laughed, saying with his usual contempt, "Hey Mu Xiaoyu, does Brother Shenxu know you're acting like this in front of me? Sure enough, you're just another show-off. And... Brother Shenxu didn't tell you about what happened before, did he?"
Although Xu Sulin did not directly tell Mu Xiaoyu which day the previous incident occurred, Mu Xiaoyu's intuition told her that it was the day Li Chenxu was suddenly summoned back to the Li family by Old Master Li.
When Li Chenxu returned that day, he did not tell him what had happened at the Li family. On the surface, everything seemed normal. What could have happened?
Compared to Xu Sulin, who only knew how to sabotage her relationship with Li Chenxu, and Li Chenxu, who loved her dearly, Mu Xiaoyu chose Li Chenxu's side almost without hesitation.
So upon hearing Xu Sulin's words, Mu Xiaoyu only pondered for a few seconds before immediately saying, "I don't know what exactly happened that day, but I'm not interested in finding out. Xu Sulin, is this all the tricks you have left? Unable to get Chen Xu's attention and win him over, you're trying to get him through me. When have I, Mu Xiaoyu, ever given you the impression that I'm easy to manipulate and bully? Let me give you a piece of advice: sometimes, use your brain before you act."
