Chapter 335 Will You Blame Me?
Li Chenxu rarely spoke such a long string of words to Old Master Li, and the content of those words had already ignited a raging fire in Old Master Li's heart.
If Li Chenxu were standing right in front of Old Master Li, Old Master Li might have already slapped him.
Now, over the phone, all I can hear is Grandpa Li's angry panting.
"So, Li Chenxu, for the sake of a woman, do you want the Li family line to end?"
After a long while, Old Master Li's raging anger subsided, and his words were laced with a gritted teeth tone, as if he wanted to tear someone apart and devour them.
Li Chenxu has never been an easy person to deal with. He has done many things that have angered the old master Li since he was a child, but this is the first time that he has made the old master Li so angry.
However, Li Chenxu remained unmoved by the old man's anger. He even sneered, "Dad, it's not that I want the Li family line to end, but that you want it to end. From the time Xiaoyu and I got married until now, think about how many things you've done to hurt her. Just because she doesn't say anything doesn't mean I don't know. You know perfectly well that Xiaoyu is the woman I love most, yet you've hurt her time and time again."
As Li Chenxu spoke, images of the grievances and hurts Mu Xiaoyu suffered in the Li family kept flashing through his mind. These images were like sharp thorns, constantly stabbing at his heart.
It was unbearable, the pain was indescribable.
And all of this was caused to Mu Xiaoyu by his closest relatives!
Li Chenxu couldn't help but take a deep breath, let out a self-deprecating laugh, and before the old master Li could speak, he continued, "This is the last time. If you do anything to hurt Xiaoyu again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless and making sure the Li family line ends."
"Li Chenxu! How dare you!"
Old Master Li was so angry at Li Chenxu's words that he was trembling all over. He wished he could rush up to Li Chenxu right now and slap him hard!
"Whether I dare or not, I think you should know... By the way, regarding those things you've been hiding from me, if you don't want to talk about them, I'll find a way to investigate myself. Dad, don't forget, we are father and son by blood."
After saying this, Li Chenxu hung up the phone without waiting for Old Master Li's reply.
After finishing his call with Grandpa Li, Li Chenxu looked even more tired. Fortunately, however, his mind was becoming clearer.
When he spoke with Mu Xiaoyu earlier, he kept agonizing over the child's situation, thinking that Grandpa Li was making things difficult for Mu Xiaoyu because of the child.
But now it seems that's clearly not the case.
Just as he said on the phone, Old Master Li couldn't have been unaware of how tense the situation was.
If there weren't specific reasons, he would never have brought up the topic of having children at this time.
But what is it that he has to keep from him?
Mu Xiaoyu didn't eat much during the day at the Li family's house, so she woke up hungry in the middle of the night.
Only a warm yellow wall lamp was on in the bedroom, so the room wasn't very bright. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Li Chenxu sitting at the table, looking deep in thought and serious.
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the wall clock subconsciously. It was already 3:30 in the morning. It was so late, but Li Chenxu was still awake.
As for why she hadn't slept, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't think of any other reason besides herself.
She stirred, wanting to get out of bed and go to Li Chenxu's place.
Before her feet even touched the ground, Li Chenxu, who had been lost in thought, noticed that she had woken up. Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, he quickly went to the bedside, squatted down, and personally helped Mu Xiaoyu put on her shoes.
"Are you hungry?"
Li Chenxu smelled strongly of cigarettes, and his voice was hoarseer than usual. Clearly, he had smoked a lot of cigarettes before entering the room.
Mu Xiaoyu felt very sorry for him. Upon hearing this, she shook her head. The next second, she grasped Li Chenxu's hand and said, "Brother Chenxu, don't overthink the matter of the child today. Let's just let nature take its course. I don't want to see you like you were just now."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, his deep gaze fixed on Mu Xiaoyu's hand holding his. The hand, which had been fair and smooth without a single scratch, now bore some small marks from Mu Pengzheng's recent kidnappings.
The scars weren't actually that big, but Mu Xiaoyu's fair skin made them very noticeable, and in Li Chenxu's opinion, they were far too obvious.
He grasped Mu Xiaoyu's hand in return, and gently stroked the scars on Mu Xiaoyu's hand with his other hand.
"Xiaoyu, have you ever blamed me? For not protecting you properly and letting you get hurt so much?"
"Brother Chenxu, how could you say that! If what you did for me doesn't count as protection, then what does? Brother Chenxu, I don't want you to feel any guilt towards me, because right now, you are the best person to me in this world, do you understand?"
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she reached out and stroked Li Chenxu's face, then lowered her head and kissed Li Chenxu's lips: "Brother Chenxu, no matter what happens, no matter what our future holds, I feel happy just being with you."
Mu Xiaoyu always said that Li Chenxu was good to her, and she always felt that many of the things Li Chenxu said touched her heart.
In fact, Mu Xiaoyu was no different to Li Chenxu.
Sometimes, just a few simple words can calm Li Chenxu's restless heart.
Mu Xiaoyu is right. As long as the two of them are together, that's enough. As for any difficulties or dangers, they can face them together. They've already been through life and death together, so what is there to be afraid of?
At this moment, Li Chenxu felt a sudden sense of clarity, and the gloom between his brows and eyes vanished because of Mu Xiaoyu's words.
Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's increasingly gentle face, I grew to like her even more.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around Mu Xiaoyu's neck, pulling her down slightly before kissing her lips. It was a kiss devoid of any romantic undertones, as gentle as a flowing stream, softening Mu Xiaoyu's heart at that moment.
The kiss lasted only a few seconds before being interrupted by the gurgling sound coming from Mu Xiaoyu's stomach.
Both of them were startled when they heard the voice. After a few seconds, Mu Xiaoyu's face turned bright red, while Li Chenxu's face also showed a smile.
He pinched Mu Xiaoyu's nose and teased, "Didn't you just say you weren't hungry? Why is your stomach growling now?"
