The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 440: Unbearable Pain

Chapter 440: Unbearable Pain

"Xiaoyu, are you alright? There's more than one man in this world than Li Chenxu. You'll meet even better men in the future. Don't be sad because of this man again!"

Fearing that Mu Xiaoyu might do something rash, Song Yin quickly comforted her, and then couldn't help but ask, "Are you home now? I'll come over and keep you company right away..."

"no need."

Before Song Yin could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu interrupted her. At this moment, she just wanted to be alone, and more importantly, she didn't want Song Yin to see her like this. If Song Yin saw her, given her fiery temper, she might cause a scene at the Li family's house.

Song Yin is already tired enough from filming, and Mu Xiaoyu doesn't want to add to her troubles.

At this moment, Song Yin had no idea what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking. Now that she heard Mu Xiaoyu's refusal, she thought that Mu Xiaoyu just didn't want her to see her not being sad.

She and Mu Xiaoyu have very similar personalities, so she can probably guess how heartbroken Mu Xiaoyu is right now.

So Song Yin thought about it and didn't insist. She just said, "If you don't want me to come, then forget it. But let me make this clear first, we're best friends. If you're really having something on your mind, don't try to tough it out on yourself. You have to tell me, okay?"

These past few days have been the most vulnerable time for Mu Xiaoyu, and Song Yin's current state has actually made her feel much more relaxed.

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle. She nodded, then remembered that Song Yin couldn't see it, so she hummed in agreement and said, "I know, Song Yin. Don't underestimate me. I'm not that fragile."

"I know you're not fragile, but can't I feel sorry for you?!"

Although Song Yin wasn't in front of Mu Xiaoyu right now, Mu Xiaoyu could almost imagine what Song Yin's expression would be like when she said those words.

Immediately, Mu Xiaoyu's mood improved a bit.

Mu Xiaoyu had been busy for almost two days, and with the things that happened with Li Chenxu and Bai Luo, she was already quite exhausted, so she didn't say much more to Song Yin. After exchanging a few more words, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu didn't immediately go to wash up as planned. She lay on the big bed she used to sleep on with Li Chenxu, feeling the soft mattress and looking at the warm yellow light above her head. Unconsciously, memories of the moments she and Li Chenxu had shared in this room floated into her mind.

Now that she and Li Chenxu have come to this point, it's pointless to dwell on why Li Chenxu suddenly got involved with Bai Luo.

But Mu Xiaoyu still wanted to know what went wrong, why suddenly, without any warning, Li Chenxu had fallen for Bai Luo, and actually... stopped liking her.

They had been through so much together; Li Chenxu had even risked his life for her. Because of this, Mu Xiaoyu had never doubted Li Chenxu's feelings for her.

She never imagined that one day she and Li Chenxu would end up like this.

What exactly went wrong, and why did they turn out this way?

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't figure out the reason. She was too tired to think of anything, and eventually she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because she was at home, Mu Xiaoyu slept much more soundly and comfortably than when she was in the hospital during the day.

This time, she slept very soundly. Even so, in her sleep she still felt someone stroking her face.

The other person's fingertips, calloused and rough, brought a tingling sensation to Mu Xiaoyu's soft face.

Mu Xiaoyu was very familiar with this feeling. In the past, when she was half asleep, Li Chenxu liked to touch her face.

Could it be Li Chenxu?

The moment this thought crossed her mind, Mu Xiaoyu opened her eyes almost immediately. She opened her eyes with great joy, but when she opened them, Li Chenxu was nowhere to be seen. Her vision was blank, almost exactly the same as when she was asleep.

Mu Xiaoyu sat down on the bed, staring blankly at the empty room. Actually, when she was with Li Chenxu, she sometimes thought about expanding the room. After all, her job was painting, and a larger room would allow her to paint in the bedroom sometimes. Although the room wasn't small, she still felt that it would be better for the two of them to be together.

But now it seems fortunate that she didn't expand the room back then, otherwise she would have been really lonely living alone in the future.

As she watched, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh.

She hadn't cried at all; all her emotions were buried deep inside. She didn't like crying, nor did she like letting others see her vulnerable side, so she had always held back.

But now, she really couldn't hold back anymore.

That immense loneliness almost overwhelmed her; she was truly on the verge of collapse.

Mu Xiaoyu lay back down on the bed, her small body curled up, her arms tightly wrapped around herself. At this moment, no one could give her any sense of security; everything she needed was from herself…

Behind the curtain, Li Chenxu watched all this silently. His face was expressionless, but his hands, placed at his sides, were clenched into fists. It was unclear how much force he used, but his hands were even bleeding. If one looked closely, one could even see the scarlet blood between his fingers.

Looking back on what he and Mu Xiaoyu had gone through, Li Chenxu thought that no matter what happened, as long as he could live, it was the greatest blessing from heaven and the happiest thing. He could endure any hardship.

But now that things have come to this point, he suddenly realizes that in this world, sometimes living is more painful than dying.

Just like now, watching the tears streaming down Mu Xiaoyu's face, it felt as if sharp needles were piercing his heart, tearing it to shreds.

He originally thought that no matter what happened, he could handle it.

Only at this moment did he realize that he was just an ordinary person. He simply didn't have the courage to bear the consequences of everything he had imagined.

She might not even be as good as Mu Xiaoyu.

Looking at Mu Xiaoyu a few meters away, Li Chenxu almost lost control of himself and ran over to hug Mu Xiaoyu tightly.

But he knew he couldn't.
