Chapter 4 The Shadow of the Previous Life
The thought of being forcefully pinned to the bed by that strange man in her previous life sent chills down Mu Xiaoyu's spine. At that time, the drug had taken effect, making her body weak. In order to prevent that man from taking advantage of her, Mu Xiaoyu resisted with all her might. In order to force her to submit, that man slapped her face hard, one slap after another...
However, it was precisely because of these slaps that Mu Xiaoyu was able to stay conscious. But when Li Chenxu rushed in, he still misunderstood. At that moment, she was lying on the ground beneath another man, her clothes tattered, her breathing rapid due to her struggle, and her face red and swollen from the slaps. All of this was challenging Li Chenxu's visual senses.
At that moment, Li Chenxu rushed over and kicked away the lewd man on top of Mu Xiaoyu. In an instant, Mu Xiaoyu felt the boulder pressing down on her head disappear. At that moment, Mu Xiaoyu's feelings were very complicated. She even felt a little bit of relief and a little bit of gratitude.
But what happened next plunged Mu Xiaoyu into despair. Li Chenxu grabbed her and took her back to his apartment without saying a word the entire time...
At the time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention. She naively thought that Li Chenxu had just misunderstood her and would let her leave, a result she couldn't have hoped for! Little did she know that this was just the beginning of a nightmare. How could that cold-blooded dictator, Li Chenxu, easily let go of someone who had betrayed him? In addition, Wu Qianru's various attempts to stir up trouble deepened Li Chenxu's misunderstanding of Mu Xiaoyu, ultimately leading to an irreparable tragedy.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but shiver. She glanced at the breakfast on the table, which had gone cold, and slumped weakly against the sofa...
In her previous life, she completely lost herself in her attempt to escape Li Chenxu, only to be manipulated by Wu Qianru and end up making things worse for herself! In this life, Mu Xiaoyu is determined to save herself, and she will never give Wu Qianru another chance.
However, all of this is based on the premise that she cannot confront Li Chenxu head-on. Li Chenxu is domineering and dictatorial. Mu Xiaoyu has already tasted the bitter fruit of confronting him head-on in her previous life. In this life, she has learned from her mistakes and decided to use a policy of appeasement!
Having died once, she has come to terms with many things. In this life, she wants to stay away from Wu Qianru, live her own life well, and find her true self. She no longer cares about anything else.
As she pondered, Mu Xiaoyu fell asleep from exhaustion. Sure enough, she dreamt of falling from the building countless times. In the mist, Mu Xiaoyu tried hard to see the person who pushed her down from behind, but she couldn't make out anything. She was awakened by the doorbell and was covered in a cold sweat.
Mu Xiaoyu struggled to her feet to check and saw it was Assistant Lin! She opened the door, and Assistant Lin stood straight in the doorway, looking at her and saying:
“Miss Mu, Mr. Li requests that you move back to the villa. There are some dangers lurking around you recently, and it will be more convenient for Mr. Li to take care of you if you move back!” In fact, Assistant Lin was already prepared to be turned away. At first, he even thought that Mu Xiaoyu would not open the door.
Looking at Assistant Lin, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, Mu Xiaoyu felt a sense of helplessness. She nodded, looked at him, and smiled, saying:
"Okay, come in and wait. I'll quickly pack my things and then we'll leave!"
When Assistant Lin heard that Mu Xiaoyu had agreed to move back to the villa, he was shocked. After all, he had come to invite her many times before, but the results were not satisfactory. He thought that this time it would be difficult again, but he did not expect Mu Xiaoyu to be so straightforward.
"I won't go in, Miss Mu. I'll wait for you here. You can come out once you're ready!" Assistant Lin suppressed his surprise and stood at the door, looking at her with practiced ease.
Mu Xiaoyu knew that Assistant Lin was trying to avoid suspicion, so she shrugged and looked at him, saying:
"Whatever, stand if you like!" she said, turning and walking into the bedroom. She simply took a few of her personal belongings, leaving almost nothing else behind. She knew that the villa had everything she needed, so she didn't have to worry about anything. In less than ten minutes, Mu Xiaoyu came out carrying a delicate little suitcase.
Assistant Lin took the suitcase, looking at the decisive and straightforward Mu Xiaoyu with disbelief. He felt that Mu Xiaoyu had matured considerably since their last meeting, but looking at her youthful face full of collagen and her bright, sparkling eyes, Assistant Lin felt that nothing had changed...
Meanwhile, Li Chenxu, who was quietly waiting in the villa, was lounging on the sofa drinking coffee. He had just come out of the pool and was wearing a bathrobe, revealing a large expanse of skin on his chest. From his collarbone to his tanned, muscular chest, he was so sexy that it was hard to look away.
When Assistant Lin opened the door and came in, Li Chenxu's eyes remained calm. He raised an eyebrow as usual, quietly sipping his coffee, waiting for Assistant Lin to tell him how he had been sent back this time.
However, in just a second, Li Chenxu saw the suitcase that Assistant Lin pushed in from the side. He recognized it as Mu Xiaoyu's suitcase at a glance and was shocked.
Mu Xiaoyu followed Assistant Lin into the villa and immediately saw Li Chenxu through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He was leisurely basking in the sun, and the sunlight shining on his exposed skin made Mu Xiaoyu blush instantly.
Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu looked at each other through the glass. Mu Xiaoyu was in the light and shadow, and she seemed unreal to Li Chenxu. He had never thought that she would come back, and he was caught off guard for a moment.
He picked up his coffee, lowered his head, and stopped looking at Mu Xiaoyu, not wanting her to see the surprise in his eyes. Mu Xiaoyu watched Li Chenxu calmly sip his coffee and took a deep breath. Sure enough, he was that confident; he didn't even lift an eyelid when she came back.
"I'm back..." Mu Xiaoyu greeted Li Chenxu on the sofa politely as she entered the room.
With his back to him, Li Chenxu simply replied with a faint "hmm!" However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't care at all. Her main purpose in coming back this time was to avoid angering this tyrannical dictator; nothing else was within her consideration.
Mu Xiaoyu skillfully found her bedroom with her suitcase. The familiar yet strange feeling she felt as soon as she entered the door instantly overwhelmed her. In her previous life, she thought this place was a golden cage where all the birds trapped would die in despair.
But today, when she put aside her prejudices and stepped into this place, she realized that this place was just a temporary resting place for a passerby in life. In her previous life, she lost her true nature because of the divorce and believed that everything related to Li Chenxu was a shackle that imprisoned her. In this life, she clearly realized that the person who had been imprisoning her was herself. Only by improving her relationship with Li Chenxu could she live her own life and be herself!
