Chapter 186 I Can't Live Without You

Li Chenxu took Mu Xiaoyu out of Disneyland and got into the car. Mu Xiaoyu was still in a daze, like a puppet, doing whatever Li Chenxu asked her to do.

It wasn't that seeing 'Mu Pengzheng' was too much of a blow to her; she was just thinking about Mu Pengzheng.

Even though Li Chenxu had said he would protect her, the harm Mu Pengzheng had caused Mu Xiaoyu when she was a child was too great, so she couldn't ignore it.

Now that Mu Pengzheng has come out, he will definitely make a move on her, and he might even make a move on Li Chenxu...

She had always known of Li Chenxu's power, but Mu Peng was operating in the shadows while Li Chenxu was in the eye of the storm. Furthermore, given that Li Chenxu was a public figure, it wouldn't be difficult for Mu Peng to deal with him.

The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more panicked she became. Finally, she came to her senses. She quickly looked at Li Chenxu, only to find that Li Chenxu's gaze had been fixed on her the whole time. Looking over, she saw that Li Chenxu was also looking at her.

Li Chenxu's deep eyes still looked very calm, yet with a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.

That look miraculously calmed Mu Xiaoyu's panicked heart.

She lowered her eyes, gave a bitter laugh, and said, "Did I look terrible just now?"

Mu Xiaoyu has always been a person with high standards for herself, whether it's at work or in terms of appearance. She even controls her facial expressions very well in public.

So just now, she probably lost control...

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say that, Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh helplessly. He reached out and hugged Mu Xiaoyu, kissed her fragrant hair, and said softly, "How could you be ugly? No matter when, you are the most beautiful. No one can compare to you."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly looked up at Li Chenxu and said, "Brother Chenxu, tell me the truth, did you grow up eating candy? Why is your mouth so sweet?"

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say that, Li Chenxu was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly burst into laughter. It was a genuine laugh, as if Li Chenxu had been laughing more often since the two of them reconciled.

He nodded, looking into Mu Xiaoyu's bright eyes, his heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but kiss her again, saying, "I grew up eating candy, just so that when I'm with you now, I can make you keep smiling happily."

Mu Xiaoyu felt increasingly pleased as she listened, and the slightly gloomy mood she had felt earlier because of Mu Pengzheng seemed to have improved considerably at this moment.

She couldn't help but lean her head against Li Chenxu's chest, closing her eyes as she thought about what had just happened. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Brother Chenxu, when I saw him then, I was really scared... I wasn't afraid he would harm me, after all, I've really gotten used to that before. I was afraid he would hurt you... You don't know how ruthless Mu Pengzheng is..."

Mu Xiaoyu's words were somewhat incoherent; her mind was in turmoil, but it was precisely because of this that she spoke out all that was on her mind.

She was genuinely worried about Li Chenxu. She knew Li Chenxu was capable, but Mu Pengzheng was different...

Hearing that it was out of concern for him, Li Chenxu's lips curved into a smile. He looked down at Mu Xiaoyu and saw her furrowed brows. He gently smoothed them out before speaking softly, "Xiaoyu, I know what you're worried about. You also know that I've known for a long time that Mu Pengzheng is still alive, so I was thinking of ways to deal with it. Don't worry about me."

Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" upon hearing this, but then asked with some unease, "I forgot to ask you before, about Mu Pengzheng's matter... what exactly happened? Grandpa Bai told me before that Mu Pengzheng might have gotten involved with people outside the prison... and since you know that Mu Pengzheng is not dead, why didn't the police arrest him?"

Before Mu Pengzheng's matter, Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously tried to avoid it, so she didn't think much about it at all.

But things are different now. Now that she has seen 'Mu Pengzheng', this dangerous person is right beside her, and she can no longer run away.

Li Chenxu didn't speak; he was still hesitant about whether or not to involve Mu Xiaoyu in this.

Although this matter is mostly related to Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu does not want Mu Xiaoyu to know or be involved.

By now, the information he had about Mu Pengzheng had told him that the current Mu Pengzheng was completely different from before. Compared to the former Mu Pengzheng, who was just a hoodlum and not worth mentioning, the current Mu Pengzheng was the real danger.

As if sensing Li Chenxu's hesitation, Mu Xiaoyu looked up at him, her bright, obsidian-like eyes fixed on him with an indescribable determination. She said, "Brother Chenxu, do you remember what the priest said when we got married? That we would face poverty and wealth, hardship and joy together. I don't want you to bear everything alone. I know you want to protect me, but... I don't want you to be so tired either."

Li Chenxu was also looking at Mu Xiaoyu at this moment, and when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, his eyes became even more profound.

He gazed intently at Mu Xiaoyu, his deep eyes filled with unfathomable emotions, and it was unclear what he was thinking. After a long while, he reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's face, saying softly, "Xiaoyu, why are you so good? With you like this... I'm afraid I can't live without you for the rest of my life."

Li Chenxu's words made Mu Xiaoyu chuckle. She opened her smiling eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Li Chenxu with a very serious expression, saying, "Brother Chenxu, why do you always steal my lines? This is clearly what I should be saying. Besides… you don't know how good you are until you're with me. You're the one I can't live without…"

At this point, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly leaned close to Li Chenxu's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You know what? Now I can't live without you. Sometimes when I see the way those women look at you, I wish I could pack you up and take you home, then keep you locked up at home, so that only I can look at you."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what was wrong with her; in a moment of impulse, she blurted out the darkest part of her heart. After she finished speaking, she froze, and when she came to her senses, she subconsciously looked at Li Chenxu, afraid that her words would make Li Chenxu dislike her.
