Chapter 726: No one is more heartbroken than me
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know when she woke up. Before she completely lost consciousness, she knew someone was taking off her clothes. The despair she had never felt before made her tremble even now when she thought about it.
She curled herself up, trying to give herself some sense of security in this way.
Just then, someone suddenly hugged her from behind. She instinctively tried to struggle, but that familiar feeling instantly calmed her down.
She remained frozen in her previous posture, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Chen Xu?"
"It's me, it's me..."
Li Chenxu held her, burying his head in the back of Mu Xiaoyu's neck, his voice hoarse beyond words. After saying these words, he finally couldn't control his emotions, and tears streamed down his face.
Feeling the warm tears on the back of her neck, Mu Xiaoyu's fear gradually dissipated. She sniffed, her nose stinging slightly, and then turned to face Li Chenxu.
Turning around, I saw Li Chenxu's bloodshot eyes.
But after just one glance, she finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears like a child.
She hugged Li Chenxu, sobbing uncontrollably, and said, "I was so scared... I was so scared, I even wanted to die then, you were so scared."
She had never shown such vulnerability in front of Li Chenxu before, unless she was terrified. How could a strong-willed woman like Mu Xiaoyu cry like this, and how could she so openly express her inner fears?
Heartache, self-pity, and a host of other emotions swirled in Li Chenxu's mind.
He wished he could take the pain for Mu Xiaoyu. He also regretted having ordered the men who wanted to defile Mu Xiaoyu killed beforehand.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't protect you well, it's all my fault..."
He held Mu Xiaoyu in his arms and kissed her repeatedly, trying to comfort her.
Mu Xiaoyu just cried and couldn't say anything more.
She was terrified; she never wanted to experience that again.
Mu Xiaoyu was injured and her health was already poor. This ordeal made her even worse.
She cried in Li Chenxu's arms until she fell asleep again.
Li Chenxu held her without moving. In fact, not only was Mu Xiaoyu afraid, but Li Chenxu was also afraid.
He couldn't bear to think about the moment he found Mu Xiaoyu. What if, what if he had been half an hour late? By then, it would have been too late no matter what he did.
He didn't dare to think about it a second time; he had never felt that kind of fear and dread before.
He didn't want to go through that again.
Li Chenxu held Mu Xiaoyu in his arms and wept silently.
He was never a fragile person, but the feeling of his beloved woman being hurt like this was just too painful.
Mu Xiaoyu was sent back to her family's villa, along with An'an.
After something like this, how could Li Chenxu possibly let the people he cares about stay in the hospital? There are too many people and too many eyes there. He understands now that no matter how many people he arranges, it won't make a difference.
If someone wanted to harm them, the opportunity would be even greater in a place like a hospital.
The day after Mu Xiaoyu was kidnapped, Song Yin and Gu Yeqi originally planned to go abroad. However, after this incident, Song Yin immediately put aside her plans and joined Li Chenxu in searching for Mu Xiaoyu.
Upon learning that Mu Xiaoyu had been found, they did not delay and immediately came to her door.
"She hasn't woken up yet, please come again next time."
Li Chenxu did not refuse Song Yin and the others' arrival, but he was too busy taking care of himself to care about them.
Moreover, he hoped that once Mu Xiaoyu's emotions had completely stabilized, the person who would stay by her side would be him, not someone else.
Song Yin frowned instantly at Li Chenxu's words, seemingly somewhat displeased. However, considering that Mu Xiaoyu had been hurt and that Li Chenxu must have been going through a difficult time these past few days, she suppressed her emotions and said to him, "I just want to see Xiaoyu. Even if she hasn't woken up yet, just seeing her and knowing that she's alright is enough."
Li Chenxu remained silent, his expression seemingly calm, as if he were pondering Song Yin's words.
“Mr. Li, since you truly love Sister Xiaoyu, you should consider her needs in many things, instead of presumptuously making decisions for her. You should know that Yinyin is Sister Xiaoyu's best friend. If you refuse Yinyin permission to see Sister Xiaoyu, how do you think she will view you when she wakes up?”
When it comes to manipulating people, both Gu Yeqi and Li Chenxu have their own methods.
Gu Yeqi and Li Chenxu didn't have much contact, but in some ways, they were remarkably similar. It's just that one was more outwardly expressive, while the other was more reserved, so much so that no one had yet discovered Gu Yeqi's deep-seated obsession and possessiveness.
Therefore, he knew what Li Chenxu was thinking and how to get to know Li Chenxu.
As expected, after hearing Gu Yeqi's words, Li Chenxu remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing to let Song Yin see Mu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu hasn't woken up yet. Since Miss Song said she just wanted to check on Xiaoyu, she can leave after that. Once Xiaoyu wakes up and his condition improves, I will naturally have someone inform you. Just like he said, you are Xiaoyu's best friend, and I won't stop you two from meeting. But before that, I hope Miss Song can also give Xiaoyu and me some time alone."
At this point, Li Chenxu paused. He seemed to be controlling his emotions, his chest heaving noticeably. After a moment, he continued, "No one is more distressed than me by Xiaoyu's accident. So, Miss Song, I hope you can understand my predicament."
In the past, Li Chenxu would never have said such a thing.
He has always been a capricious person, or to put it bluntly, a self-centered person.
It was Mu Xiaoyu who changed him. She said she didn't want to see him too lonely. She hoped he could have other friends.
Song Yin was surprised that someone like Li Chenxu would say such a thing. She was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
She was indeed a little angry when Li Chenxu initially wouldn't let her see Xiaoyu, but after hearing what Li Chenxu said just now, she understood his predicament.
Put yourself in their shoes. If the roles were reversed and she and Gu Yeqi were the ones experiencing all of this, what would happen to them?
Song Yin dared not think about it, but she also understood Li Chenxu.
“I understand what Mr. Li means. Don’t worry, I’ll just take a look and leave.”
