The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 745: Cherish Everything Now

Chapter 745: Cherish Everything You Have Now

"What's wrong? Don't you like these toys?"

Mu Xiaoyu sat down beside the bathtub with An'an in her arms, undressing An'an while asking her questions. Normally, she wouldn't have asked such questions, but after what had just happened, she naturally wouldn't treat An'an as an ordinary child anymore.

An'an couldn't speak. She just glanced at the toys in the bathtub, then snuggled into Mu Xiaoyu's arms and wouldn't look at them again. Her disgusted look amused Mu Xiaoyu.

Watching this scene from the side, Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh: "He takes after me; he doesn't like the things that kids like."

Mu Xiaoyu was quite puzzled. The toys in the bathtub were all carefully selected by her and the maid; they were all things children love. Even if An'an was a boy, he should be a little older if he didn't like them. Shouldn't An'an, being so young, be enjoying these things?

Seemingly sensing Mu Xiaoyu's doubts, Li Chenxu chuckled softly and explained, "I didn't really like these toys when I was little either. Even if I did play with them, they were mostly educational toys. An'an's personality is like mine, so she definitely wouldn't like these."

As soon as the last word was uttered, Mu Xiaoyu immediately rolled her eyes at Li Chenxu: "Are you telling me all this to show off your high IQ?"

Mu Xiaoyu felt a bit annoyed. Although she wasn't stupid, she wasn't particularly smart either. When she was in school, she mostly made up for her lack of talent with hard work. Someone like Li Chenxu, who was good-looking and had a good family background, was not only good-looking but also incredibly smart—it was practically a cheat code.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's sulky expression, Li Chenxu immediately laughed. He lowered his head and snuggled close to Mu Xiaoyu's neck, gently rubbing it a couple of times before speaking again: "I didn't mean to show off, I was just telling you. If you're unhappy, I won't say these things anymore."

Her obedient demeanor made anyone who didn't know better think that Mu Xiaoyu was being unreasonable.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems she was indeed being a bit unreasonable in what she just did. After all, she's a grown woman; if she keeps arguing with Li Chenxu like this, wouldn't she seem petty?

So Mu Xiaoyu coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that petty? I'm not angry, I was just saying it casually. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Anyway, it's already in there. Let's just wash it this time and then do it according to An'an's preferences later."

"He's just a kid, there's no need to spoil him and indulge him in everything."

"That won't do. Children should be pampered, as long as it's not excessive. The happiness they didn't get as children can't be compensated for later. You know our situation; it's different from ordinary families. Neither of us can guarantee we can truly stay by An'an's side forever, so..."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't continue speaking, but she believed Li Chenxu understood.

Since some things are unavoidable, then do your best to handle them within your capabilities.

In fact, Mu Xiaoyu is not a person who likes to spoil others. If she were with someone else, or if she and Li Chenxu were not in this kind of environment, and An'an was born, she would not spoil An'an like she does now.

Unfortunately, they weren't. She had already experienced too many disasters, and she didn't know if she could continue to live a good life like this in the future, or if she would experience the same things as before.

Therefore, she didn't want any regrets to happen.

Li Chenxu was a smart man. After Mu Xiaoyu said so much this time, how could he not understand what Mu Xiaoyu meant?

He sighed deeply, a sigh that held a thousand words he wanted to say, but in the end, all that remained was another sigh.

"Let's give An'an a bath first. As for other things, we can talk about them later."

"okay."

There's basically nothing to worry about at home now, so she doesn't need to say anything that might upset anyone. She stopped talking and started bathing An'an with Li Chenxu.

However, both of them were complete novices in this area. Even though they had consulted the housekeeper before taking a bath, they became flustered and clumsy when they actually started doing it themselves.

It was an hour later when An'an was finally given a bath. Even with Mu Xiaoyu's slow and deliberate nature, it only took her about an hour to bathe herself.

As a result, it took her and Li Chenxu such a long time to bathe An'an.

The grand pronouncements I made before taking a shower suddenly seemed a bit timid.

She glanced at Li Chenxu, who also seemed somewhat dejected, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask, "Do you remember what I said back then?"

How could Li Chenxu not remember after such a short time? He was about to nod in agreement when he caught a glimpse of Mu Xiaoyu's expression and suddenly realized what was going on.

So he deliberately frowned, pretending to be thinking, and finally shook his head under Mu Xiaoyu's expectant gaze: "I wasn't paying attention back then, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, just forget about it if you don't remember."

Normally, if Li Chenxu didn't pay attention to what Mu Xiaoyu said, she would definitely be angry. But now that she was being cheeky, she was happy that Li Chenxu forgot. How could she possibly be unhappy?

So she smiled at Li Chenxu and said, "If you don't remember, that's fine. But this is a one-time thing. You can't do this again, okay?"

"I understand, I promise, this won't happen again."

Li Chenxu was now acting like a child being scolded, so obedient it was almost unbelievable. Mu Xiaoyu already had some ulterior motives, and with Li Chenxu's attitude being so good, how could she possibly cause him any trouble?

So in the end, she leaned in and kissed Li Chenxu, as a way of making it up to him.

An'an was sleepy after taking a bath. Children's sleep schedules are irregular, and since An'an had already been breastfed, they only ate after putting An'an to sleep.

I was quite full before, but after giving An'an a bath, I started to feel very hungry.

After the maid served the dishes, Mu Xiaoyu picked up her chopsticks and began to eat without saying a word. Although her manners were impeccable, those who knew her well knew that Mu Xiaoyu was probably starving.

"Eat slowly, no rush. If you feel it's not enough, I can have someone make more. Don't eat so fast, or you'll choke."
