Chapter 681: Completely powerless

"Li Chenxu?"

Because she had just woken up, Mu Xiaoyu was still a little dazed. When she opened her eyes and saw Li Chenxu lying on the ground, she couldn't help but call out to him.

Li Chenxu fell quite hard, and his body wasn't fully recovered to begin with. Even he felt dizzy and lightheaded from the fall.

However, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, he still forced himself to say to her, "I came here to tell you that the medicine you took is working, and we don't need to go to the hospital tomorrow."

"Oh... actually you didn't need to come all this way. I was just planning to take a nap and then come see you. But as long as the medicine works..."

As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, walked to Li Chenxu's side, and reached out to touch his forehead. Sure enough, it was lower than before.

She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she suddenly remembered that Li Chenxu was in her room. Her face immediately showed some displeasure. She reached out and pulled him up, saying, "Next time, you have to knock on the door. Don't forget what our relationship is now. We haven't remarried yet. Coming into my room like this is trespassing, you know?"

"next time?"

Despite Mu Xiaoyu's many words, Li Chenxu failed to grasp a single key point, his mind preoccupied only with Mu Xiaoyu's mention of "next time."

In an instant, the pain from the fall seemed to vanish. He gripped Mu Xiaoyu's hand tightly, and said with a hint of nervousness, "Xiaoyu, have you forgiven me?"

"I think you've gone crazy from the fever. Do you really think I, Mu Xiaoyu, am someone who's so easy to fool? Such a big thing, and I just forgave you? Li Chenxu, aren't you being too naive?"

When Mu Xiaoyu heard him not utter a single word of forgiveness, she was furious. If Li Chenxu weren't currently ill, she might have already taken advantage of him.

Li Chenxu wasn't angry when she scolded him; he was just a little disappointed.

However, he also knew that these few things had indeed crossed Mu Xiaoyu's bottom line. Given Mu Xiaoyu's temper, it was already considered good that she was talking to him or even coming to see him.

So now, Li Chenxu is already very satisfied.

Mu Xiaoyu had no idea what Li Chenxu was thinking. She was still thinking about what she wanted to talk to Li Chenxu about tomorrow. Seeing that Li Chenxu was still standing there and didn't seem to be leaving, she immediately said, "Alright, even if you have something to say now, you can say it tomorrow. Go back to sleep first. If you catch a bad cold, I won't take care of you this time."

"Then...then you should get some rest too."

Li Chenxu didn't want to leave. Perhaps it was because of his illness that he had become unusually vulnerable. He wanted to look at Mu Xiaoyu and wanted to hold her while she slept, just like before.

But he knew very well that if he made any more demands, Mu Xiaoyu would definitely get angry and leave.

He can't afford the consequences right now.

Under Mu Xiaoyu's serious gaze, Li Chenxu left the room.

As soon as Li Chenxu left, Mu Xiaoyu sat down on the bed.

She placed one hand on her heart, which was beating very fast.

Recalling the pitiful look in Li Chenxu's eyes when he left, her heart seemed to beat even faster.

Heaven knows what she couldn't stand the most was Li Chenxu's pitiful look just now. He's such a grown man, yet he showed such a pitiful expression, which was still irresistible.

Mu Xiaoyu sat on the edge of the bed, her hand still on her heart, trying to calm her breathing.

It took a long time for things to gradually return to normal.

She lay in bed, her gaze fixed on the large window in front of her. Dawn would break soon. Normally a heavy sleeper, she found herself unable to fall asleep.

Last night she made a last-minute decision to talk to Li Chenxu, but she hadn't figured out how to do it. How should she bring it up with him after dawn?

Mu Xiaoyu was caught in a dilemma, her mind filled with thoughts of Li Chenxu. As she thought about it, she fell asleep.

Chen Tong woke her up the next morning. She had a show to attend that morning, and Chen Tong was supposed to pick her up. However, when Chen Tong arrived at Mu Xiaoyu's house, neither Mu Xiaoyu nor Song Yin were there.

Fearing something might happen to the two of them, Chen Tong immediately called.

"Sister Xiaoyu, where are you now?"

"Um...I'm at the hotel..."

Having not slept well last night, Mu Xiaoyu's mind was still foggy when she woke up. She answered the phone, her words mumbled incoherently. But as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered the fashion show she was supposed to see today.

Instantly, she regained consciousness.

"Oh no, I forgot I was supposed to see the fashion show today. What time is it?"

"It's almost eight o'clock, Sister Xiaoyu. Which hotel are you at now? I'll bring the styling team over right away. Maybe we can still make it in time."

Chen Tong was a little anxious. Today's show was the first runway show in China for a top international luxury brand, and there were many media outlets and celebrities in attendance. For a newcomer like Mu Xiaoyu, it was an excellent opportunity to showcase her talent.

It would be a real shame to miss it today.

Mu Xiaoyu and Chen Tong were both well aware of this, but...

Mu Xiaoyu thought of Li Chenxu, then of the time issue, and finally said, "Forget it, I won't go to the show today. Call Song Yin later and ask her to come over."

Song Yin was originally invited to the show, but she declined due to other commitments.

As a result of the pregnancy announcement, Song Yin had to cancel many of her previous schedules, and now she has some free time.

"Sister Xiaoyu, are you really not going? This is a great opportunity, it would be such a shame to miss it."

“It’s okay, there will be other opportunities in the future, there’s no rush. Besides, I never planned to continue developing in the entertainment industry. Giving this spot to Song Yin would be better.”

Since Mu Xiaoyu had already said so much, Chen Tong knew that Mu Xiaoyu was a stubborn person, so she didn't say anything more and immediately called Song Yin.

After talking to Chen Tong on the phone, Mu Xiaoyu felt much more awake, although her head still ached a little.

She gently patted her head, then went to the bathroom for a quick wash.

She arrived suddenly yesterday and didn't put on makeup. After washing up, she went out without any makeup.

Li Chenxu is an extremely self-disciplined person. When Mu Xiaoyu went out, she thought Li Chenxu had already woken up, but she didn't expect that his room was still closed.

Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before walking to Li Chenxu's room and knocking on his door: "Are you awake? If you are, I'll call for breakfast. After you eat breakfast, you'll need to take your medicine."

There was no response. Even if Li Chenxu was sleeping soundly, it was impossible for him to be completely unresponsive.

Mu Xiaoyu was a little worried, so she opened the door.
