Chapter 35 We Won't Get a Divorce
When the two returned, it was already past eight o'clock at night. Li Chenxu pulled Mu Xiaoyu into the bedroom, laid her down on the bed, and covered her up tightly, making sure there was nothing missing, before saying, "Your cold isn't completely gone yet. The doctor said you need to rest more. Lie here for a while, and I'll go downstairs and have someone get you something to eat."
Mu Xiaoyu felt like she was being wrapped up like a cicada cocoon. With the air conditioning on in the house, she was getting really hot, and she was afraid she would be sweating in less than a minute.
She winked at Li Chenxu and said pitifully, "Chenxu, it's so hot that you've wrapped me up like this. I'll just use an air-conditioning blanket, otherwise I'll sweat too much and catch a cold."
Neither of them realized that their feelings for each other had deepened, especially Mu Xiaoyu. After her rebirth, she had become much more assertive. Someone who never liked to act cute before now found herself effortlessly charming Li Chenxu.
But Li Chenxu didn't dislike it at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed seeing Mu Xiaoyu act spoiled and willful in front of him. Especially that "Chenxu" she had never called him before, which made Li Chenxu's heart melt completely.
He bent down and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, softening his voice as he said, "Okay, you don't have to cover yourself with these, but you have to keep the air conditioning blanket on..."
At this point, Li Chenxu paused for a moment. His thick, dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he were thinking about something. After a while, he continued, "Once you've recovered from this cold, we'll need to have someone take care of your health."
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu felt so happy she was practically bubbling with joy. No matter what Li Chenxu said, she nodded with a smile.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's obedient appearance, Li Chenxu's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. He reached out and affectionately ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair, then left without saying anything more.
Mu Xiaoyu's cold hadn't fully healed yet, and as soon as Li Chenxu left, she lay on her warm and comfortable bed at home and soon fell into a deep sleep.
She was woken up again by Li Chenxu. On the bedside table was a bowl of steaming porridge and a plate of her favorite side dishes. The housekeeper's cooking was better than many hotels and restaurants. Mu Xiaoyu hadn't eaten much all day, and the aroma of the side dishes immediately woke her up.
She quickly sat up and got out of bed, wanting to eat. However, she was stopped by Li Chenxu the next moment.
Li Chenxu didn't say anything. He took a light jacket and draped it over Mu Xiaoyu's shoulders. Then he half-squatted down in front of Mu Xiaoyu, blew on the bowl of porridge in his hands to make sure it wasn't too hot, and then handed it to Mu Xiaoyu.
"Try it first and see how it tastes. The housekeeper who cooks at home took the day off and went home today, so someone else is cooking it."
When Li Chenxu said this, his expression seemed quite calm on the surface, but for some reason, Mu Xiaoyu felt that he was a little nervous.
impossible……
Mu Xiaoyu quickly shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind. She knew that in all the time she'd been married to Li Chenxu, she'd witnessed all sorts of emotions from him, but nervousness was something she'd never experienced with him before.
Thinking she must have misread it, Mu Xiaoyu didn't think much of it and started drinking the porridge with her spoon.
She didn't take Li Chenxu's words to heart; after all, it was just a bowl of porridge, and even if it were someone else, the taste wouldn't be too different. But who knew that after the first bite, Mu Xiaoyu almost couldn't help but vomit.
However, considering that Li Chenxu had personally served it, she managed to suppress her nausea: "Who made this porridge?"
"How is it? Is it... not tasty?"
Li Chenxu tried his best to control his facial expression and appear calm. But sometimes, no matter how well you hide it, if it's not real, people will still see through it.
At first, Mu Xiaoyu didn't think anything was wrong, but Li Chenxu was acting really strange at this moment, especially when she was drinking porridge. If she wasn't mistaken, there seemed to be some expectation in Li Chenxu's eyes.
What is he expecting? Could it be...?
An idea suddenly popped into Mu Xiaoyu's mind. As if she couldn't believe it, Mu Xiaoyu's throat bobbed nervously, and she stammered, "It's...it's delicious..."
As he uttered those words, a noticeable sense of relief and a hint of barely perceptible joy was visible on Li Chenxu's face. He was already handsome, but he rarely smiled, which gave him an aloof and unapproachable air. Now, with his eyes softened and a faint smile on his face, he looked much more lively.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had seen Li Chenxu like this. In that instant, her heart felt as if it had been filled with something warm and tender.
It was only then that she realized how much she had overlooked the kindness Li Chenxu had shown her in the past.
She didn't know the true extent of Li Chenxu's feelings for her, but she was certain that all the kindness he showed her was genuine.
From this moment on, she will never again let Li Chenxu down...
Mu Xiaoyu said nothing more, lowered her head and continued eating her porridge, savoring each bite carefully. Li Chenxu also remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyu as she ate, his gaze softening.
"Any more?"
After finishing her bowl of porridge, Mu Xiaoyu waved the empty bowl in her hand at Li Chenxu and smiled sweetly.
Whether it was the smile or the summer fragrance wafting in through the open window, the atmosphere seemed to be filled with a subtle, sweet aroma.
Li Chenxu didn't speak. He took the bowl from Mu Xiaoyu's hand and placed it on the bedside table. Then, he placed one hand on Mu Xiaoyu's side and looked down at her. His deep eyes stared at Mu Xiaoyu without blinking, as if he wanted to draw her in.
"It's too late today, eating too much is bad for your stomach..."
Li Chenxu said in a low voice, and as he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips lightly, then said, "Xiaoyu, let's not get a divorce, okay?"
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was almost completely captivated by Li Chenxu, and she had no ability to think. Upon hearing this, she nodded in a daze, but before she could utter a single word, Li Chenxu pinched her chin and kissed her with a gentle kiss, as soft as a breeze and a light rain.
"You promised this yourself... You can't go back on your word, otherwise... even if you hate me, I'll imprison you..."
