Chapter 354 I've Always Believed in You

“Brother Chenxu…”

Mu Xiaoyu waited for a long time, but Li Chenxu didn't make any move, and her heart grew more and more nervous. She finally couldn't help but speak, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

"So, your nightmare was also because of this?"

After a long silence, Li Chenxu finally spoke. Because of the long silence, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke. Normally, Mu Xiaoyu would only think that such a voice was incredibly sexy, but now she felt a pang of heartache.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu didn't even have the courage to look into Li Chenxu's eyes, and simply hummed softly in response.

She didn't know if Li Chenxu would blame her. She had said she hadn't thought about this issue before, but now that she had said it, she was starting to feel scared.

Unexpectedly, just as Mu Xiaoyu was feeling scared and uneasy, a burst of laughter suddenly came from above.

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Li Chenxu and saw that the person smiling was indeed Li Chenxu. Although there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, there was no sadness or blame.

But with him smiling like that, Mu Xiaoyu had no idea what Li Chenxu was thinking.

She looked at Li Chenxu nervously, somewhat uneasy, and stammered, "Brother Chenxu...you..."

"I'm fine, Xiaoyu. Actually, you should have told me about this sooner."

Before Mu Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu immediately interrupted. Mu Xiaoyu wondered if it was just her imagination, but Li Chenxu seemed much more relaxed at that moment, as if he had been freed from some kind of constraint.

He looked down at Mu Xiaoyu with a smile, and finally said, "Actually, I've known for a long time that he has no feelings for me. After all, his marriage to my mother was just a business arrangement. At the beginning, I foolishly had some expectations for him. But those insignificant expectations disappeared after he hurt my mother and me time and time again."

At this point, Li Chenxu let out a long sigh of relief. Perhaps it was true, as he said, that he no longer cared. In Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, Li Chenxu looked increasingly relaxed.

“I really didn’t know about Lei Chao’s affairs, but I’m not surprised that he would do such a thing. After all, I’m not his only child now, and even if I die, there will be other people to inherit the Li family business.”

Li Chenxu's words this time were far beyond Mu Xiaoyu's expectations. She stared at Li Chenxu in surprise, and after a long while, she stammered, "Didn't you say before that you had taken care of those people? Why... why are there still some?"

"You believed everything I said?"

Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with some helplessness. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's blank and silly appearance, he couldn't help but laugh again. He reached out and pinched the tip of Mu Xiaoyu's nose, and said with a smile, "I am indeed a ruthless person, but there are some children who have already been born... I really can't bring myself to do it. Besides, my father was still young at that time. If I really killed those children who had already been born, he would definitely find a way to deal with me."

Li Chenxu wasn't a coward, but he felt that some things didn't necessarily lead to certain death. Later, he didn't harm his newborn 'brothers and sisters,' firstly because he felt they were too young and he couldn't bring himself to do it, and secondly because he didn't really care about them.

Even if someone of Old Master Li's stature were to keep a mistress, she wouldn't be someone prominent or influential in their social circle. After all, who would be so foolish as to become the mistress of an elderly man like Old Master Li, especially in a clandestine situation?

That's why, in Li Chenxu's view, how could a woman who could become Old Master Li's mistress possibly raise well-behaved children? During their upbringing, he could easily spoil them with a little manipulation, so he naturally wouldn't take them seriously.

But now that things have come to this point, perhaps in Old Master Li's eyes, Li Chenxu is now completely out of his control.

In Li Chenxu's mind, perhaps the reason why Old Master Li said those things to Mu Xiaoyu this time was not just because of Lei Chao. Maybe what he wanted was an obedient puppet.

After hearing Li Chenxu's words, it would be no exaggeration to say that Mu Xiaoyu's heart was filled with tremendous emotions.

She was being too naive. If things were really as Li Chenxu thought, Mu Xiaoyu would almost feel that her worldview had been overturned by the events in these wealthy and powerful families.

That's absolutely terrifying.

Back when I was in school, there were always classmates who envied those from wealthy families who not only had no worries about food and clothing, but could also easily have whatever they wanted. Even when I was young and naive, I used to envy them.

But now, she is incredibly grateful that the man she married was not truly heartless.

"So, Brother Shenxu, what are you planning to do now?"

Mu Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time, and in the end, she didn't delve any further into the matter. No matter how much Li Chenxu said he didn't care, Mu Xiaoyu still felt sorry for him.

Moreover, she also wanted to know how Li Chenxu planned to handle this matter.

After all, Old Master Li was using her mother as leverage. Mu Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of getting into trouble herself, but she was afraid of something happening to her mother.

"Let me think about it. This matter seems simple, but it's actually not that easy. But Xiaoyu, I promise you, I will definitely not let anything happen to Auntie. Do you believe me?"

Li Chenxu suppressed his emotions, looked at Mu Xiaoyu with gentle eyes, and said softly.

When he softens, he always exudes an irresistible power, as if you're about to be drawn into Li Chenxu's gentle eyes.

Mu Xiaoyu glanced quickly at Li Chenxu, then lowered her eyes, softly hummed in agreement, and said, "I believe you, I've always believed you. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have told you about this. But Brother Chenxu, no matter what, you must take good care of yourself. I can't help you much, I just hope you'll be safe and sound."

This time, Li Chenxu didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and hugged Mu Xiaoyu tightly.

The feeling he was experiencing at that moment was something that no one could truly understand unless they had experienced it firsthand. Before Mu Xiaoyu appeared, everyone around him, even many women who professed their love for him...

But those feelings of liking are never pure.

Apart from Mu Xiaoyu, no one else would say to him at this time that they hope he is safe and sound; nothing else would.

How could he bear to let go of Mu Xiaoyu like this?
