Chapter 512: Moving
Mu Xiaoyu felt that Li Chenxu was becoming more and more cunning. No matter what the reason, she would never run back and forth between the two places. She wasn't made of iron; how could she possibly have that much time?
The villa is at least a ten- or twenty-minute drive from where Li Chenxu is currently living. If Mu Xiaoyu really has to run between the two places, how can she manage?
"Then help me move tonight."
"Don't you have hands?"
Li Chenxu didn't agree immediately. For some reason, he liked to tease Mu Xiaoyu at any time. Sometimes, seeing Mu Xiaoyu's exasperated look was quite amusing.
Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu was teasing her, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but pout and said, "If you don't want to move, that's fine too. You know that young man who went to the bar with Song Yin before. He just texted me saying he's back in Beijing. If you don't have time, I can ask him to help you move."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu clearly felt the air pressure in the carriage drop. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, she felt a chill.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously looked at Li Chenxu beside her. However, the other party's expression remained unchanged, and he even curled his lips when she looked over and said, "You can do that if you want."
It was a perfectly normal sentence, and Mu Xiaoyu pondered it repeatedly but couldn't discern any other meaning in it. Yet, for some reason, it gave her a chilling feeling.
Mu Xiaoyu's throat bobbed nervously. She quickly smiled and looked at Li Chenxu, "Oh, I was just saying. You'll definitely have to come to move, so please promise me, okay?"
She has now mastered the knack of getting along with Li Chenxu, who has become quite arrogant. No matter what happens, she must go along with him and not confront him head-on, otherwise she will end up having to patiently coax him.
So at this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was barely suppressing the goosebumps that kept rising on her skin as she spoke to Li Chenxu in a coquettish manner.
She'd never liked acting cute; it always felt awkward to her. But looking at Li Chenxu, she seemed to enjoy it. How strange!
"I'll pick you up after I finish dealing with things at the company today."
Li Chenxu didn't refuse again, and after a moment's hesitation, he spoke. Seeing that Li Chenxu had finally agreed, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Today, Li Chenxu drove himself. SQ is a bit far from Li's, so Li Chenxu dropped Mu Xiaoyu off at SQ's comic book store before leaving.
The incident involving Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu caused quite a stir some time ago, and people who had even the slightest contact with them were secretly keeping an eye on their news.
In addition, Mu Xiaoyu's complexion had been rather poor these past few days, and she hadn't been seen smiling much whenever she came to SQ, so many people thought that Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were really over.
But today, Li Chenxu actually brought Mu Xiaoyu to work again. And judging from how the two of them were together, they clearly had a good relationship.
It should be noted that the biggest beneficiary of the Bai family's downfall was none other than Li Chenxu. The power and wealth Li Chenxu now possesses are vastly different from what they used to be. Countless women are eagerly eyeing Li Chenxu, hoping to have some contact with him and rise to great heights.
"Sister Xiaoyu, was the person who brought you here Mr. Li?"
Recently, many new office-based comic artists have joined SQ. Mu Xiaoyu usually finishes her work at home and hardly ever comes to SQ, so naturally she doesn't have much contact with these girls.
These girls, though they hadn't said anything before, actually looked down on Mu Xiaoyu.
In their view, Mu Xiaoyu's current achievements are solely due to Li Chenxu.
Now that she and Li Chenxu are over, in their eyes, Mu Xiaoyu's future development won't be very good, so they usually don't take the initiative to greet Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't stupid. Even if she couldn't know everything these people were thinking, she had a pretty good idea of what they were really thinking.
So when the person suddenly greeted her so warmly, a cold smile appeared on her lips as she looked at the young girl beside her and said, "It's him. What's wrong? Want to know his phone number?"
The woman's thoughts were exposed by Mu Xiaoyu, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. However, she also knew this was a good opportunity, so she could only stammer, "Sister Xiaoyu, don't overthink it. I just... just wanted to ask Mr. Li if he's interested in buying the copyright to my comic..."
"Your copyright?"
Mu Xiaoyu repeated what the other person had said, then looked them up and down with her eyes, and laughed, "If I remember correctly, you should be the author of 'The Magician,' right? The comic's performance doesn't seem to be very good, and the comic book company doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to promote you. The contracts you signed are all short-term. Now you want to ask Li Chenxu if he will buy the copyright to your comic? I say, girl, aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
Mu Xiaoyu spoke calmly and slowly, her voice not loud, but loud enough for those around her to hear what she was saying. Her words were merciless and carried a strong warning, immediately making the young girl blush.
With red eyes, she looked at Mu Xiaoyu and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you say that to me! I... I've only just started out, so naturally my achievements can't compare to yours. Besides, you're only doing this because of Mr. Li! If it weren't for Mr. Li, do you think you could have gotten to where you are now!"
Mu Xiaoyu had guessed before that this girl probably looked down on her because of Li Chenxu, but she never thought that he actually thought that way about her.
Anyone who has even slightly read her comics knows that she absolutely did not rely on Li Chenxu in this regard; she relied entirely on her own strength to get to where she is today.
But now, his own abilities are being completely denied.
For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu didn't even know whether to be angry or sullen. However, she was no longer the ignorant, naive girl who only knew how to be bullied.
Within seconds, he had calmed down.
She didn't speak immediately, but calmly looked at the agitated and angry girl in front of her. Finally, she opened her mouth, about to speak, when she was suddenly pulled back. The next second, Li Chenxu, who should have left, suddenly reappeared.
He stood right in front of Mu Xiaoyu, his tall figure completely obscuring her petite frame, his broad shoulders exuding an indescribable sense of security.
"Want my phone number?"
