Chapter 13 Let's Talk
Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately. With a somewhat surprised look in his eyes, he first looked Mu Xiaoyu up and down. After confirming that she was alright, he said indifferently, "It seems that yesterday's class was somewhat effective."
After all, the Mu Xiaoyu of the past would never have said such things.
Li Chenxu's words left Mu Xiaoyu feeling helpless. Fortunately, she had been reborn and her mindset had changed. In addition, the etiquette class she attended yesterday had calmed her down considerably; otherwise, she probably would have argued with Li Chenxu again, just like before.
At this moment, she suppressed the helplessness on her face, looked at Li Chenxu with a serious expression and said, "Li Chenxu, when are you free? There are some things I want to talk to you about."
Having said that, Mu Xiaoyu paused, afraid that Li Chenxu would misunderstand again like before, and added, "I don't want a divorce, I just want to have a serious talk with you. We... can't go on like this forever."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't make her meaning too obvious, but she believed that Li Chenxu would understand.
As expected, after Mu Xiaoyu finished speaking, Li Chenxu's deep eyes showed obvious surprise. He seemed unable to believe that Mu Xiaoyu would say such a thing, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, he asked, "Mu Xiaoyu, are you playing some kind of trick?"
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu had tried every possible way to divorce him, even resorting to any method to do so. Now that she suddenly says she doesn't want a divorce, how could Li Chenxu possibly believe her?
Mu Xiaoyu had anticipated Li Chenxu's question and was prepared for it. She wasn't in a hurry and said calmly, "I know you can't believe me right now, but... just give me some time, and we'll talk it over. By then... you'll definitely believe what I'm saying."
Li Chenxu was never a talkative person, and upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he became even more silent. However, his sharp eyes held a scrutinizing look, clearly pondering the truthfulness of Mu Xiaoyu's words.
Mu Xiaoyu calmly waited for Li Chenxu to speak. Before saying these words, she had already made a careful plan in her mind. She was not in a hurry for Li Chenxu to agree immediately, but as long as she opened her mouth, given Li Chenxu's personality, he would definitely think about it carefully.
She will then proceed step by step and naturally achieve her goal.
"Say what you have to say now."
After a long while, just when Mu Xiaoyu thought Li Chenxu wouldn't agree, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke up.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu with some surprise and said uncertainly, "You mean now? Are you free today?"
Li Chenxu naturally wouldn't answer this question. The Li family was large and powerful, and Li Chenxu had countless things to do every day, far from the easy life that outsiders saw. But compared to those, his relationship with Mu Xiaoyu was the most important thing.
Seeing that Li Chenxu remained silent, Mu Xiaoyu did not press further. She cleared her throat, looked at Li Chenxu seriously, and said, "My insistence on divorcing you before was a rash decision made in the heat of the moment. I've thought about it a lot these past few days, and whether for your sake or for mine, I will not get a divorce. So now, in front of you, I formally retract my previous statement. I hope you will continue to take care of me in the future."
Mu Xiaoyu's eyes were open and honest, and her tone of voice was more sincere than ever before, not at all like she was lying.
After saying this, Li Chenxu still didn't speak. However, out of Mu Xiaoyu's sight, his hands were clenched into fists at his sides, not out of anger, but out of excitement.
He stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu, forcing himself to calm down with almost all his might: "Mu Xiaoyu, you said it yourself. If I ever hear the word 'divorce' again, I will never let you off easily!"
"I will never go back on my word."
Mu Xiaoyu was no longer afraid of Li Chenxu. When she spoke, she proudly raised her chin, and her bright eyes were full of confidence that she had never had before, radiating a dazzling light.
Li Chenxu's heart stirred slightly, but before he could say anything more, Mu Xiaoyu continued, "However, there is one thing I need to say first, and I hope you can agree to it."
Perhaps thinking that Mu Xiaoyu was still talking about divorce, Li Chenxu's eyes narrowed dangerously instantly, as if he would explode at the mere mention of the word "divorce".
“Li Chenxu, I am an adult, so I should have the freedom I deserve. I know that you locked me up before because I insisted on getting a divorce. Now that I have given up on the idea of divorce, you should not continue to lock me up.”
Mu Xiaoyu is a normal adult. Although Li Chenxu's villa is large, it has all the necessary facilities. Living in such a place for a day or two is fine, but if one is stuck here for a long time without the freedom one deserves, that would be too terrible.
She thought that even if Li Chenxu didn't immediately agree to the request, he would at least consider it. However, to her surprise, Li Chenxu refused without even thinking about it.
"Don't think about leaving for now. Although you just said you wouldn't get a divorce, you don't have a convincing reason for me. Mu Xiaoyu, if you want to leave, then from now on you'd better behave yourself."
Mu Xiaoyu suppressed the urge to have a big fight with Li Chenxu and nodded through gritted teeth. She was no longer the impulsive Mu Xiaoyu she used to be. Now, the more headstrong she was towards Li Chenxu, the more likely she was to make things worse.
Li Chenxu wanted to see her performance, so fine, let him see Mu Xiaoyu's determination!
She refused to believe that she couldn't handle Li Chenxu!
The conversation between the two was brief; Li Chenxu left after finishing breakfast. The etiquette class was in the afternoon, and Mu Xiaoyu, having nothing else to do in the villa that morning, continued working.
Her dream has always been to become an outstanding cartoonist. Now, everything has only just gotten on track, and she is still far from her goal. She doesn't want to delay her path to realizing her dream because of Li Chenxu...
The afternoon etiquette class was on tea ceremony. Not only was Ye Lin present, but a tea master she had specially invited also attended. Mu Xiaoyu had only ever seen tea ceremonies on television before, and had never experienced them in real life. At first, she was somewhat confused, but the more she listened, the more engrossed she became.
During the actual practice, they were reluctant to stop until Ye Lin and the tea master were about to leave, at which point Mu Xiaoyu reluctantly saw them off.
"Madam, there's no need to see me off. Seeing that you're interested in tea ceremony, go back and practice more. The more time you practice, the more changes you'll make, not only in your mindset but also in many other aspects of your life."
