Chapter 703: How Long Until You Forgive Me

Chapter 703: How Long Until You Forgive Me

If the initial reaction was surprise, those who were just watching the spectacle couldn't help but laugh by the end.

Some of the children, completely bewildered by the situation, followed Li Chenxu closely, shouting, "Uncle is a pig... hahahaha..."

Everyone was laughing at him, adults and children alike.

The hospital, which had been rather quiet, suddenly became bustling with activity because of Li Chenxu's actions.

At first, Mu Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed and kept a distance from Li Chenxu, neither too close nor too far. Several times, she wished she could cover her face.

But now, hearing the harmless laughter around her and seeing Li Chenxu grinning from ear to ear, she couldn't help but laugh too.

This was the first time she had ever seen Li Chenxu so happy. He was completely free of his previous burdens and was just an ordinary person trying to make the person he liked happy.

Mu Xiaoyu was very happy, and the smile on her face wouldn't go away.

She followed behind Li Chenxu the whole way, and only after he had walked away and the surrounding crowd had dispersed did Li Chenxu walk up to her, take her hand, breathe slightly out of breath, kiss the back of her hand, and say with a smile, "How was it? Are you happy?"

Actually, Mu Xiaoyu didn't need to say anything more; the smile on her face never disappeared.

Li Chenxu could tell that he still wanted to hear Mu Xiaoyu say it herself.

Mu Xiaoyu was in a great mood, her eyes crinkling with joy. This time, she didn't hesitate and readily nodded in agreement: "Yes, I'm very happy. Since you make me so happy, I'll forgive you a little more for the mistakes you made before."

"Then... how long will it take for me to fully earn your forgiveness?"

Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu expectantly, his Adam's apple bobbing nervously. He held Mu Xiaoyu's hand, his palms sweating slightly.

Mu Xiaoyu tilted her head and looked at Li Chenxu, as if she was thinking about Li Chenxu's words.

She is happy now, as if all the unpleasantness of the past has disappeared.

However happy as she was, there were some things Mu Xiaoyu couldn't back down on.

"If you continue to perform like this, it shouldn't take long. But let me make this clear: it won't be so easy in the future. Some things might feel new the first time, but they might not work the second time."

Li Chenxu wasn't discouraged by Mu Xiaoyu at all; in fact, he even smiled. As long as he did the right thing, as long as Mu Xiaoyu was happy, as long as she was forgiving him little by little, he was happy.

As long as Mu Xiaoyu takes one step forward, he is willing to take any remaining steps, even if it's a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand.

"I know, as long as you're happy today, that's all that matters. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Alright then, since you know that's good. Okay, don't stand here anymore, go back first, I'm starving."

What just happened seems to have shortened the distance between the two, and Mu Xiaoyu is not so resistant to him anymore.

Li Chenxu happily nodded and followed Mu Xiaoyu back to the ward.

The two of them got up late in the morning, went to see An'an, and with the "I'm a pig" incident, quite a bit of time had passed. By the time they returned to the ward, it was already late.

I could have gone straight to dinner when I got back, but as I approached the ward, I saw people outside.

Upon seeing the person standing at the door, both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's expressions turned rather unpleasant.

Especially Mu Xiaoyu, the moment she saw that person, she immediately turned to look at Li Chenxu, with a hint of questioning: "Why is he here?"

Following their gaze, one could see that the person standing at the door of the ward was none other than Li's father, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

After not seeing him for several months, Li's father looked much older than before. He was hunched over, leaning on a cane, and his whole demeanor had changed.

Li Chenxu frowned and glanced at his father, then lowered his voice and said to Mu Xiaoyu, "I don't know either. I haven't told them anything about your situation. But don't worry, even if he comes now, he can't do anything to you."

"Of course I know he can't do anything, but when he comes at this time, I always feel that he has some ill intentions."

In Mu Xiaoyu's mind, people like Li's father were completely corrupt. No matter what they did, she believed they all had ulterior motives.

She's not alone anymore; she has a child now. She's worried about what will happen if Li's father and the others harm An'an.

Noticing Mu Xiaoyu's unease and restlessness, Li Chenxu took her hand and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, I've been sending people to protect An'an, she'll be fine."

Mu Xiaoyu absentmindedly hummed in agreement, without saying anything. She wanted to see how Li Chenxu would handle the matter of his father.

"Let's go over there first, don't stand outside."

"Ah."

Mu Xiaoyu nodded and followed Li Chenxu. Just as they approached, Li's father saw them. He quickly leaned on his cane and hobbled towards them.

"Chen Xu! I've finally waited for you!"

The father's tone was full of undisguised surprise, but no matter how he acted, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu remained unmoved.

"What are you here for?"

"I...I came to see the child."

At this moment, Li's father was completely devoid of the domineering and arrogant demeanor he had displayed in front of Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu. It was as if the man who had forced Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu to divorce had never existed.

If it weren't for that familiar face, Mu Xiaoyu would have even doubted that the person in front of her wasn't Li's father.

Father Li looked at them nervously and uneasy.

Neither Li Chenxu nor Mu Xiaoyu spoke, but their refusal was clearly expressed through their facial expressions.

Father Li could see right through them. He looked at the two of them with a pleading expression: "I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I am still the child's grandfather. Even if... even if it's just to let me see the child for a moment, that's fine. I've prepared a gift for the child. Take a look."

As he spoke, he shakily took out a bankbook from his pocket and handed it to Li Chenxu.

“This is what I saved for my child. It’s all the money I’ve saved up over this period of time. I just wanted to give it to my child. Could you please let me take care of my child as a child?”

Li Chenxu glanced down at the passbook in his hand; there was about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in it.

Since Li Chenxu regained control of the Li family, he has essentially cut off all of Li's father's sources of income. In the past, seventy or eighty thousand would have been a drop in the ocean for Li's father.

But for Li's father now, it is a huge sum of money.

If this money were really given to An'an, it would be a lot of effort for him to save it up.
