Chapter 11 Maintenance
Actually, Mu Xiaoyu was quite surprised when she heard that Li Chenxu had punished Xu Lan. She knew better than anyone how terrifying Li Chenxu was, and that Xu Lan would be severely injured if she was dragged down like this.
Li Chenxu seems to be protecting her a little too much, which is different from before...
However, these surprises vanished instantly when Li Chenxu learned that she was faking something. What was wrong with Li Chenxu? Knowing she was pretending, he still treated Xu Lan that way.
As if sensing Mu Xiaoyu's doubts, Li Chenxu sneered: "Mu Xiaoyu, your little tricks might fool others, but they can't fool me at all! Besides, you are my wife, Li Chenxu's wife. No matter how I treat you, no one else can lay a finger on you. I don't care whether what happened just now was true or false, but at least I heard her cursing you, which is true. So whatever punishment she receives is what she deserves."
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Li Chenxu, completely unable to believe that he would say such a thing. Despite his domineering and forceful tone, for some reason, hearing him say that warmed her heart, and she felt no unhappiness whatsoever.
Is Li Chenxu protecting her?
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu remained silent and stared at him intently, Li Chenxu assumed she was frightened, and his expression softened considerably. However, there was absolutely no room for compromise regarding hiring an etiquette teacher to give Mu Xiaoyu lessons.
"You should rest well today, Mu Xiaoyu. Let me make this clear from the start: no matter what you think or what methods you use, you absolutely cannot escape the etiquette course."
After saying that, Li Chenxu got up and prepared to leave. But just then, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
"Li Chenxu, I will teach the etiquette class you mentioned properly, but on the condition that there can be no more teachers like Xu Lan."
Mu Xiaoyu hated the rules and regulations of wealthy families the most, always feeling like an invisible net was binding her. So when she first heard Li Chenxu say he would find her an etiquette teacher, she subconsciously felt resistant.
But after hearing what Li Chenxu said, the resistance she felt lessened considerably. Moreover, judging from the tone of Li Chenxu's words, it was clear that he wouldn't give up on finding her an etiquette teacher.
One or two is fine, but the thought of outsmarting a large group of people is exhausting. It's better to let things take their course and calmly accept everything.
Li Chenxu remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyu's small, fair hand that was holding his arm. He seemed lost in thought, his emotions unreadable. After a long while, he finally looked up at Mu Xiaoyu.
"Don't worry, this time, there won't be anyone like Xu Lan. But Mu Xiaoyu, you'd better not lie to me. You should know how serious the consequences are for lying to me."
Mu Xiaoyu nodded perfunctorily upon hearing this. She didn't want to discuss this matter too much with Li Chenxu. If the two of them disagreed and started arguing, it would cause more trouble.
She had only been reborn for a short time, and many things were still unclear to her. She didn't want to waste time on endless arguments.
Li Chenxu had no idea what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking, but Mu Xiaoyu's current attitude was vastly different from before. If it were the old Mu Xiaoyu, she would never have compromised and given in so quickly.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but glance at Mu Xiaoyu a few more times, and when she sensed his gaze, she looked up at him as well. Her bright, watery eyes seemed to hold only him in the entire world when she looked at him; they were so beautiful that words could hardly describe them.
Li Chenxu quickly withdrew his hand, said no more, and left in a hurry.
Seeing Li Chenxu's hurried pace, Mu Xiaoyu assumed he was dissatisfied with her and couldn't help but pout. She really couldn't understand Li Chenxu. She couldn't see his feelings for her. If he liked her, why was he so forceful and domineering towards the person he liked? If he didn't like her, why wouldn't he let her get a divorce? Was it just because he was afraid of losing face?
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it anymore.
Originally, as Li Chenxu had instructed, the new etiquette teacher was not to arrive until tomorrow. However, for reasons unknown, Mu Xiaoyu had the etiquette teacher brought over that very afternoon.
The new etiquette teacher this time is named Ye Lin. She is a little older than the previous Xu Lan, but her temperament is completely different. Although her face is ordinary, she has a kind face that makes it easy for people to feel good about her.
She sat facing Mu Xiaoyu, her gaze calm yet composed as she looked at him. She pushed the course schedule in front of Mu Xiaoyu, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, "These are the courses Madam will need to take in the coming period. Please take a look, and if you have any opinions, please feel free to voice them."
Looking at the gentle and refined Ye Lin, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had already come to her senses by then; otherwise, she would have felt guilty about going against such a graceful teacher.
As a result, Mu Xiaoyu's attitude towards Ye Lin improved considerably. She smiled slightly at Ye Lin and picked up the timetable to take a quick look.
She had initially thought that the etiquette class Li Chenxu mentioned was simply about teaching manners. However, the schedule included tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and even horseback riding—things that Mu Xiaoyu had never encountered before but were interested in.
Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised, and her initial resistance instantly turned into anticipation. She put down her timetable, her eyes shining slightly as she looked at Ye Lin. The next moment, under Ye Lin's slightly surprised gaze, Mu Xiaoyu extended her hand to Ye Lin and said with a smile, "Then, please guide me in the days to come."
The servants and bodyguards in the villa all knew Mu Xiaoyu's personality to some extent. When Ye Lin arrived, they were even prepared for chaos.
To everyone's surprise, Mu Xiaoyu actually followed the teacher's instructions to learn etiquette diligently throughout the afternoon. At first, they thought Mu Xiaoyu was just putting on an act, but later, seeing her serious expression, they had to believe that she was genuinely taking it seriously.
Because of her profession, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't spend a whole day taking specialized etiquette classes. So, after discussing it with her teacher, they agreed that she would attend classes every afternoon, and she would need to take care of her work during the rest of the time.
She and Li Chenxu were husband and wife, so it wasn't a big deal for her to spend some of Li Chenxu's money. But when she thought about their past relationship, Mu Xiaoyu still felt a little awkward. So now she had to work hard to earn money, so that she would have more confidence when she argued with Li Chenxu in the future.
