Chapter 419 Please Begin Your Performance
Just as Mu Xiaoyu started walking upstairs, Li Chenxu, who had been sitting on the sofa, got up and followed her.
Seeing his actions, Mu Xiaoyu's last bit of patience vanished instantly. She immediately stopped and turned to glare at Li Chenxu: "What exactly do you want? Explain yourself!"
Li Chenxu didn't speak. He had planned that after proposing a divorce to Mu Xiaoyu, he would not see her again for the time being. This way, outsiders would think that their relationship had broken down, and he could protect Mu Xiaoyu properly.
But seeing Mu Xiaoyu's indifferent attitude towards him, and hearing her talk about starting a new life, he couldn't control himself.
So much so that now when Mu Xiaoyu asks him what he's going to do, Li Chenxu himself can't answer.
Seeing his silence, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sneer and looked at Li Chenxu with a mocking expression, saying, "Not going to talk? Then let me guess. Are you regretting it a little? Well, you can't say that. You've fallen for Bai Luo now, but you've had so many years of relationship with me, so you can't bear to let go and want to have your cake and eat it too, right?"
"Mu Xiaoyu!"
This time, Li Chenxu reacted, his previously calm eyes now showing a hint of anger.
In the past, Mu Xiaoyu would have waited for Li Chenxu's explanation, but now, she really has no interest.
She gave Li Chenxu a cold look, said nothing more, and went upstairs to begin her examination.
She had assumed that in almost a day, Li Chenxu would have moved most of his things, if not all of them. But when she entered the room where the two of them had been, she discovered that Li Chenxu hadn't moved anything at all!
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was extremely grateful that she didn't have a heart condition; otherwise, she would have been driven to her death by Li Chenxu.
She took a deep breath, turned around to look at Li Chenxu behind her, and then slammed the door shut.
Mu Xiaoyu doesn't know what Li Chenxu is up to, but she won't continue to entangle herself with him. If Li Chenxu simply didn't like her anymore, instead of cheating, Mu Xiaoyu might still try to ease the distance between them now. But not now.
She hates, even despises, people who cheat and third parties. She still loves Li Chenxu, but she also hates him.
She's just an ordinary person; she has a heart, and she can feel sadness and pain. She shouldn't be treated like this by Li Chenxu.
Fearing that Li Chenxu might have a key to the room, Mu Xiaoyu closed and locked the door, then pushed the table in front of the door to block it, making sure that even if someone outside had a key, they couldn't get in before lying down on the bed.
Even though less than a day had passed, Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely tired.
She's so young, but her heart feels old.
Mu Xiaoyu was so tired that she fell asleep in a daze after lying on the bed for a short while.
She slept very soundly that night, but was still woken up by the phone ringing the next day.
"Hey……"
Mu Xiaoyu was not fully awake and answered the phone in a daze.
"Sister Xiaoyu."
It was Bai Luo's voice. Instantly, Mu Xiaoyu woke up. She sat up in bed, rubbing her temples in annoyance, and said coldly, "Why did you call me?"
Bai Luo seemed a little nervous; Mu Xiaoyu could even hear her swallowing nervously through the phone. In the past, whenever Mu Xiaoyu sensed Bai Luo acting this way, she would try to comfort her.
But now, she just feels it's fake, and she feels stupid.
"Sister Xiaoyu, Shenxu and I are downstairs. You...didn't you say you wanted to apologize to Shenxu before divorcing him? Is it convenient for you to come down now?"
In the past, Bai Luo would never have dared to call Mu Xiaoyu to tell her such things. Mu Xiaoyu wondered if Bai Luo had become bolder after getting together with Li Chenxu.
If that's really the case, then the power of love is truly amazing.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sneer inwardly, yet felt completely numb: "You guys wait downstairs, I just got up, I'll rescue you later."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without giving Bai Luo a chance to reply.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu didn't go to wash up immediately. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the black screen of her phone. Her usually bright and clear eyes were now devoid of any light.
She sat there blankly for what seemed like an eternity before finally standing up unsteadily and going to the bathroom.
Mu Xiaoyu took a very thorough bath, and afterwards spent a long time putting on a delicate makeup.
Sometimes, a woman's greatest weapon in terms of appearance may be her exquisite makeup.
Once she's put on exquisite and perfect makeup, she has to hold back her tears, no matter how much she wants to cry. It's makeup that she's carefully applied with time and effort; even if she's sad or wronged, she can't cry, and she can't ruin her makeup.
With this, she can face everything with her head held high.
By the time Mu Xiaoyu came downstairs, almost two hours had passed since Bai Luo had called her.
During this period, neither Bai Luo nor Li Chenxu made a single phone call to urge Mu Xiaoyu.
That's true. They were the ones who wronged Mu Xiaoyu first, so how could they have the nerve to call her and urge her to hurry up?
"I'm so sorry, I went to bed a little late last night, and it took me some time to get ready this morning. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting."
When Mu Xiaoyu came downstairs, she saw Li Chenxu and Bai Luo sitting side by side. Her expression was calm and composed, with a hint of a smile on her face. It was as if, in her eyes, Li Chenxu and Bai Luo were just two ordinary guests who were a little more familiar than strangers.
Both Bai Luo and Li Chenxu frowned upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu's attitude. Bai Luo, in particular, instinctively took a step forward, clearly wanting to say something to Mu Xiaoyu, but before he could speak, Li Chenxu pulled him back: "Bai Luo!"
Li Chenxu warned her in a low voice. Bai Luo woke up instantly upon hearing Li Chenxu's voice and quickly returned to Li Chenxu's side, lowering her head and avoiding looking into Mu Xiaoyu's eyes.
His obedient and compliant demeanor was exactly like how he used to be when he was with Mu Xiaoyu, which made Mu Xiaoyu feel even colder.
She sat down opposite the two of them, glanced at them, and slowly said, "Bai Luo, Li Chenxu should have told you everything you need to do. Now, I won't say anything more. Start preparing your performance. But let me make this clear: if I'm not satisfied, I won't divorce Li Chenxu."
