Chapter 501 Tonight I'll Be With You

Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to be separated from Li Chenxu for even a second. She knew this thought was unrealistic, but it didn't matter. Being able to spend even a second longer with Li Chenxu was a good thing for her.

In addition, it was indeed too late, and Mu Xiaoyu really didn't want to go back to the villa.

She had always thought that this villa was filled with the most beautiful memories between her and Li Chenxu. When she divorced Li Chenxu, she thought she didn't want anything but this villa.

But now, living alone in that villa, I only feel lonely.

Especially in the dead of night, the indescribable loneliness is even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly added, "My place is too far from the airport. How about I stay at your place tonight? What do you think?"

Mu Xiaoyu's current behavior can almost be described as pushing her luck. According to the original plan, no matter what Mu Xiaoyu says now, Li Chenxu should refuse.

But when he looked into Mu Xiaoyu's bright eyes and saw the expectation in them, he couldn't bring himself to say no.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded under Mu Xiaoyu's expectant gaze and said, "Okay, but only for tonight. You can't sleep at my house after that."

Mu Xiaoyu pretended not to hear what Li Chenxu said next and nodded repeatedly.

Since Li Chenxu was here, there was no need for a designated driver. Mu Xiaoyu still gave the driver double the fare, then got into the car with Li Chenxu and headed to his current residence.

After Li Chenxu moved out of the villa, Mu Xiaoyu never asked him where he was living now.

She knew that Li Chenxu owned many residences, and she had even visited most of them with him. However, no matter which residence it was, Mu Xiaoyu always felt that the houses were cold and unwelcoming, and did not seem like places for people to live.

Li Chenxu's current residence is not far from the Li Group headquarters, located on the top floor of a building in the city center. It's a duplex apartment of over 200 square meters, nearly 300 square meters. It's not much smaller than the villa he used to live in with Mu Xiaoyu.

It's more than enough for Li Chenxu to live alone.

Mu Xiaoyu had never been here before. Upon entering and seeing the cold, industrial-style decor, she instinctively shivered. She couldn't help but rub her arms: "Have you been living here all this time?"

"Ah."

Li Chenxu responded faintly. Lately, he'd been dealing with too much at the company. He was juggling his relationship with Mu Xiaoyu with company matters, practically working 48 hours a day. Even the strongest person would eventually succumb to such intense work.

Tonight, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly called in the middle of the night. At that time, he thought Mu Xiaoyu was going to give up and leave, so he rushed over without thinking, without even dressing properly.

It was chilly at night, and Li Chenxu, who had been suffering from a cold for the past few days, felt even more dizzy after walking around in the middle of the night.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, rubbing his tired temples. He said to Mu Xiaoyu in a hoarse voice, "There's food and drinks in the refrigerator. Help yourself if you're hungry or thirsty. There are several guest rooms on the first floor, each with its own bathroom. Choose whichever you like. If you need anything, just call Assistant Lin. You should know his phone number..."

Li Chenxu rambled on and on, but before he could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu stood in front of him.

Mu Xiaoyu bent down and leaned closer to Li Chenxu, her cool little hand covering Li Chenxu's burning forehead. Her face, which had been smiling, suddenly became serious.

"You have a fever."

It wasn't a question, but a statement of certainty. Mu Xiaoyu rarely spoke to Li Chenxu in such a tone. She wasn't angry with Li Chenxu, because she had no right to; she was only angry with herself.

Although the current outcome is what she wanted most, seeing Li Chenxu sick is also what he least wanted to see.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu withdrew her hand and instead helped Li Chenxu back to his room.

"what are you up to?"

Li Chenxu was weak and frowned immediately when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's actions.

"What else can we do but help you back to your room to rest? You didn't even realize you had a fever. Do you have any medicine at home?"

Although she uttered these complaining words, her tone was gentle. Seeing Li Chenxu sick, Mu Xiaoyu felt more heartache than anyone else.

"I don't know, I rarely go back to Ali."

After separating from Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu's work and other affairs became many times busier than before. Not only did Mu Xiaoyu feel lonely and isolated, but Li Chenxu did too.

So most of the time, Li Chenxu was at the company. As the owner of this residence, he was probably less familiar with it than the cleaning lady.

Although Mu Xiaoyu didn't know the specific reason, she could guess what was going on.

She didn't speak, pursed her lips, and silently helped Li Chenxu into the master bedroom.

Li Chenxu rarely gets sick, and now it's just a cold, but it came on fiercely. At first, he was able to stay the same, but later the temperature on his forehead kept rising, and the dizziness became more and more severe, to the point that he didn't even know what Mu Xiaoyu did afterward.

Mu Xiaoyu had little experience in taking care of people. After putting Li Chenxu to bed, she started searching on Baidu on her phone. Then, following the methods on Baidu, she used physical methods to cool Li Chenxu down and went to the 24-hour convenience store in the neighborhood to buy medicine.

She had given up hope of finding medicine at the convenience store, but she was lucky. The store had almost everything, including common cold medicine and fever reducers.

Fearing that Li Chenxu might become delirious from the fever, Mu Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay after buying the medicine and quickly took it upstairs.

This was the first time she had ever been out alone so late at night. Although she was usually quite brave, the dim lighting and the almost deserted streets still made her a little scared.

Mu Xiaoyu tightened her grip on the fever reducer, lowered her head, and quickened her pace, wanting to get upstairs as fast as possible.

Unfortunately, sometimes people are just that unlucky; even drinking water can cause problems.

While Mu Xiaoyu was waiting for the elevator, a man reeking of alcohol suddenly stood behind her. She instinctively looked back and saw a large, obese man standing behind her, also reeking of alcohol. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu looking at him, the man immediately frowned in disgust and tried to move away.

"Newly moved in?"
