Chapter 195 We Want Children Now
"I want a boy, and if it's a boy, he has to look like you, so he'll be handsome when he grows up. If he looks too much like me, he definitely won't be that manly... What about you? Do you want a boy or a girl?"
Mu Xiaoyu already had plans to have a child with Li Chenxu, so she had naturally thought about this issue before. Although she preferred a boy, she would love him whether it was a boy or a girl, because it would be her and Li Chenxu's child, and she would love him regardless of gender or appearance.
“I don’t care, but… I hope our child looks like you.”
"That won't do. A boy like me wouldn't be manly..."
Even though the couple doesn't have children yet, they talked about nothing but kids on the way home. It wasn't until they got home and sat down at the dining table that they stopped talking about children.
When Li Chenxu parted ways with Song Bai, he said the food was all ready. But now that Mu Xiaoyu is home, she finds that the aunt has only prepared two dishes, the soup is not yet ready, and the rice is not yet cooked.
Immediately, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze towards Li Chenxu carried a hint of mockery.
"Didn't you just say the meal was ready? Why hasn't Auntie made the soup yet?"
Li Chenxu lied without batting an eye, his expression calm and composed. He even feigned surprise upon hearing this: "Perhaps I misheard back then, but it's not too late now, so waiting a bit won't hurt."
Mu Xiaoyu snorted twice, deciding to let it go for the time being, considering how hard Li Chenxu had gone to find her today.
"By the way, I've already had someone look for your phone. When I came to find you today, I checked the security footage. The person who stole your phone had been following you, which was clearly intentional."
At this moment, Li Chenxu suddenly remembered the phone incident earlier that day, and his previously joking expression immediately turned serious.
When they first learned that Mu Xiaoyu's phone had been stolen, they all thought it was an accident. However, during their search for Mu Xiaoyu, they reviewed all the surveillance footage and discovered that it was not an accident at all; someone had deliberately followed Mu Xiaoyu.
Too many things have happened recently: the disruption at the book signing, the anonymous letter sent to her home, and now the cell phone incident. One thing after another floated into Mu Xiaoyu's mind, making her face turn serious.
She didn't speak, but the image of Mu Pengzheng flashed through her mind. Although there was no evidence yet, her intuition told Mu Xiaoyu that Mu Pengzheng was behind it all.
Even Li Chenxu and the Bai family can't find Mu Pengzheng's whereabouts right now. Who exactly is Mu Pengzheng backing...?
"Brother Chenxu... do you think Mu Pengzheng wants to kill me...?"
Mu Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking. She was the one who had personally sent Mu Pengzheng to prison, and she was the person Mu Pengzheng hated most. Now that Mu Pengzheng was out, he would never let her go.
When she was first reborn, Mu Xiaoyu wondered who had killed her in her previous life. She suspected Wu Qianru, she suspected Lin Xia, she suspected anyone who had ever had a conflict with her, but she never suspected Mu Pengzheng.
Thinking back on everything that's happened recently, Mu Pengzheng is the most likely person to target her...
"Xiaoyu, look at me."
Just as Mu Xiaoyu was lost in thought, her hand was suddenly grasped, and the next second she heard Li Chenxu's mellow and reassuring voice.
She subconsciously looked up at Li Chenxu, whose deep eyes were also fixed on her.
"Xiaoyu, I know what you're worried about... It's because I'm not capable enough to find Mu Pengzheng right away, but as long as you're by my side, I will do everything in my power to protect you. Before... you were fighting alone, but it's different now. You have me. Don't keep everything bottled up inside, okay?"
Li Chenxu's voice was gentle, yet it carried an indescribable strength of determination. Especially his eyes, which looked at Mu Xiaoyu at this moment, seemed to possess a magical power, gradually calming Mu Xiaoyu's originally uneasy heart.
She looked down at the hand that Li Chenxu was holding in hers. His palm was broad and warm, and his knuckles were distinct. It was indescribably beautiful. It was just such a pair of hands that, holding her slightly cool hand, seemed to warm her heart as well.
Mu Xiaoyu stared at their clasped hands for a long while, then finally murmured an "Mmm," and whispered, "I believe you..."
Li Chenxu spent the whole afternoon looking for Mu Xiaoyu. He didn't feel anything when he finally found her, but after he got home and ate dinner, he felt exhausted.
So after finishing his meal and resting for a while, Li Chenxu went to take a shower and prepare for bed.
It was as if Mu Xiaoyu's phone had been monitored; the moment Li Chenxu stepped into the bathroom, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar phone number. It was almost ten o'clock, and I wondered who would call at this hour.
Mu Xiaoyu muttered a few words to herself, but finally answered the phone.
"Xiaoyu?"
The familiar voice made Mu Xiaoyu immediately recognize who was calling. She felt a little helpless, but still replied, "Senior."
"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"
Song Bai didn't say what he wanted to do by calling, and just chatted casually with Mu Xiaoyu. Out of politeness, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't just hang up on Song Bai, so she could only patiently chat with him.
"I should have called earlier to ask if you were home yet, but something came up and I didn't have time. You won't be mad at me, will you?"
"how come……"
"By the way, do you have time these days? It's been a long time since we last met. Some classmates were thinking of organizing an alumni reunion... Many of them are fans of your books and want to meet you... Are you free?"
Mu Xiaoyu initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that someone was a fan of her book, she immediately hesitated.
Her success today is due, besides her own efforts, largely to the support of her fans. Therefore, she has always cherished her book fans. If a former classmate is also a fan, it would be truly inexcusable not to meet them when she has the time…
"I don't know yet. Please tell me the exact time. If I don't have any other plans on that day, I'll come over."
