Chapter 161 Is that what you really think?
Mu Xiaoyu never expected Li Chenxu to have such an attitude. Originally, she only had a small flame of anger in her heart, but now it was all magnified because of Li Chenxu's words.
Anyway, Li Chenxu already knew. But thinking about it, it makes sense. All the people protecting her were sent by Li Chenxu. If Li Chenxu wanted to know something, wouldn't it be a matter of just talking?
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more confused and angry she became. Finally, she suddenly sneered at Li Chenxu and said, "Do you want to know what the Bai family told me? I'll tell you... You've always known that Mu Pengzheng isn't dead, haven't you? These two accidents are also related to Mu Pengzheng, and you didn't tell me any of this. And..."
At this point, thinking about what she was about to say, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, and looked at Li Chenxu with a determined yet aggrieved expression.
"Also, why didn't you tell me why we got married? I remember clearly that your father said that my marriage to you was actually... because you were threatened. That anonymous letter I received a few days ago... was it true that you married me entirely because..."
"Are you saying that I married you entirely out of coercion, not out of my own free will?"
Mu Xiaoyu's mind was completely in a mess, and the words she uttered were spoken without any consideration. But this time, before she could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted her with a stern face.
Li Chenxu had been calm, but the atmosphere around him instantly darkened because of Mu Xiaoyu's words. The oppressive atmosphere and his expressionless face sent chills down one's spine.
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu was most afraid of seeing Li Chenxu like this, but now, she has no time to care about such things.
Her throat felt like it was blocked by something, neither rising nor falling, causing her great discomfort. Hearing Li Chenxu's words, she felt that it was true, yet not quite, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Mu Xiaoyu's silence was taken by Li Chenxu as tacit agreement.
Mu Xiaoyu's silence negated all of Li Chenxu's efforts for her over the years.
Li Chenxu has never been a fragile person; in fact, because of his status, he is much stronger than others when facing difficulties. Even so, in matters of the heart, he is just an ordinary person who will make efforts for the one he loves.
As long as his efforts receive even the slightest response, that's enough for him.
But now, Mu Xiaoyu has negated all his previous efforts...
At this moment, Li Chenxu suddenly felt like laughing, not knowing whether it was because he was too angry or because he was laughing at how foolish he was.
At that moment, he even felt a strong urge to question Mu Xiaoyu about whether she had a heart at all. Regardless of the reasons he married her in the first place, was everything he had done for her during this time all a lie? Was it all forced upon him, or just an act?
But Li Chenxu didn't ask; he felt a little tired.
Sometimes, doubt is more like a knife piercing the heart than arguments, causing unbearable pain.
"I'll tell you about what happened back then later, but now's not the time... As for Mu Pengzheng, I do know about him, but I don't want you to worry until we find him... This is the truth I want to tell you. Whether you believe it or not is up to you..."
After saying this, Li Chenxu gave Mu Xiaoyu a deep look. That look was filled with too many emotions, as if there was disappointment, grievance and anger, but in the end, all of these turned into a deep sense of powerlessness.
With just that one glance, Li Chenxu looked away. He didn't say anything more, put down his chopsticks, got up, and left the dining room.
In the time since they reconciled, Li Chenxu had always taken the initiative, actively seeking solutions no matter what happened. But this was the first time he had left without saying a word...
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had seen Li Chenxu like this, and panic instantly overwhelmed her. She didn't know what to do, whether Li Chenxu's answer was what she wanted, or if everything was really as simple as Li Chenxu said.
Did she do something wrong? Or...?
A variety of thoughts kept popping into Mu Xiaoyu's mind, leaving her completely unable to react.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but right now, she had no idea what to do...
And so, the two people who were perfectly fine just minutes before fell into a cold war after this conversation. Or rather, it was a one-sided cold war by Li Chenxu.
Perhaps he wasn't giving her the silent treatment; he had simply reverted to his true self. He was cold and indifferent to strangers, showing them no regard whatsoever. When they met in the morning, he would greet Mu Xiaoyu, but with a cold expression, exactly the same as when he treated strangers.
He wouldn't call me from time to time while I was at work to ask what she was doing at home and chat. Nor would he drop all his social engagements in the evenings to come home and have dinner with her.
Mu Xiaoyu was still reeling from their conversation the night before. She hadn't really thought much of it when Li Chenxu treated her like that on the first day. But by the second and third day, she finally realized what was going on.
The two had just gotten up and were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast in silence. Since that night, in the three days that followed, they had barely spoken more than ten words to each other.
While eating breakfast, Li Chenxu didn't even glance at Mu Xiaoyu. He ate his breakfast while looking at the financial newspaper that the maid had just brought back.
His expression wasn't particularly serious, but his blank look somehow lowered the atmosphere in the house.
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu out of the corner of her eye, her heart overflowing with bitterness. This was not the ending she had hoped for. Even now, she still hadn't sorted out her previous thoughts and didn't know how to handle the situation.
But there was one thing she was very clear about: she didn't want to see things turn out like this between her and Li Chenxu...
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu, opened her mouth, and after a long while, she finally managed to say with some difficulty, "Brother Chenxu..."
