Chapter 324 Should I call you Xuxu?
In the end, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't resist Li Chenxu's insistence, and at dinner that night, Li Chenxu drank the whole pot of soup.
Fortunately, the soup only tasted bad; there were no other problems. Li Chenxu didn't experience any issues after drinking it that evening, and he even seemed to sleep more soundly than usual, which put Mu Xiaoyu at ease.
Bai Ye arrived the next day.
Li Chenxu originally invited Bai Ye to the company yesterday to discuss Assistant Lin's matter. However, due to Li Chenxu's health condition, the two were unable to reach an agreement.
Therefore, Bai Ye made a special trip to check on Li Chenxu's physical condition before coming here. Only after confirming that Li Chenxu was really alright did Bai Ye visit.
As if to avoid attracting attention, Bai Ye brought Bai Luo along when he came.
Bai Luo hadn't seen Mu Xiaoyu for several days, and as soon as she arrived, she immediately took Mu Xiaoyu's arm affectionately.
"Sister Xiaoyu! I've missed you so much!"
Bai Luo was young, and when he was holding Mu Xiaoyu, he was practically lying on Mu Xiaoyu's body.
Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu adored Bai Luo, and now she let him hold her. Not only that, but while Bai Luo was holding Mu Xiaoyu, he kept rubbing his face against her chest, being very affectionate.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ye and Li Chenxu, two grown men, felt a mix of emotions, one with a complex mix of feelings, and the other with an expression that immediately turned ugly.
Bai Ye probably never imagined that one day he would envy his younger sister. Although Li Chenxu had said before that he would no longer be jealous of women, seeing Bai Luo and Li Chenxu so intimate still made him feel a little sour.
"Mr. Li? Shall we talk in the study?"
Bai Ye really didn't want to watch anymore. If he did, he could almost predict that he would never bring Bai Luo with him again next time.
Li Chenxu nodded with a sullen face and was about to walk upstairs to the study. But after taking only two steps, he suddenly turned back.
He grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand and forcefully pulled her and Bai Luo apart. At the same time, he whispered in Mu Xiaoyu's ear, 'threatening' her, "Don't get so close to that girl from the Bai family. How can someone so grown up be so clingy to you!"
The jealousy in his words was almost overflowing, making Mu Xiaoyu both amused and exasperated. But when she looked at Li Chenxu's aggrieved expression, she swallowed back the words she was about to say and could only reply, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I won't be like that with Luo Luo again, alright?"
"Still called Luo Luo."
Li Chenxu said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, and if Bai Ye and Bai Luo hadn't been there, Mu Xiaoyu would have almost burst out laughing.
She looked at Li Chenxu with a smile and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Could it be that you want me to call you Xuxu?"
Whether Mu Xiaoyu had hit the nail on the head or Li Chenxu was just shy, Li Chenxu immediately turned his head away upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, his earlobes even turning slightly red.
Mu Xiaoyu wanted to take a closer look, but Li Chenxu went upstairs directly, acting both arrogant and awkward.
Seeing Li Chenxu go up, Bai Ye gave Mu Xiaoyu a deep look before following him.
After the two men left, Bai Luo hugged Mu Xiaoyu again, just like before, and winked at her with a teasing look on her face: "Sister Xiaoyu, Mr. Li is really interesting. He always gets jealous of me."
Mu Xiaoyu glared at Bai Luo feigning anger, but said, "Don't let his mature demeanor fool you; he acts like a child when it comes to these kinds of things. But... I like it."
"Of course Sister Xiaoyu likes it! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!"
The two are getting along better and better. Bai Luo is no longer as nervous and apprehensive in front of Mu Xiaoyu as she was at the beginning. Instead, she is like a little kitten with her tail wagging, which makes Mu Xiaoyu laugh.
Because of the recent weather and various other things, the two of them haven't gone out much and have basically stayed at home. Now that they've finally gotten together, they naturally have a lot to talk about.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere between the two men in the study upstairs was not as relaxed as it was downstairs.
After the two entered the study, Li Chenxu did not immediately mention Lin Zhu's matter. Instead, he asked Bai Ye in a somewhat questioning tone, "Why did you bring Bai Luo here?"
Bai Ye understood what Li Chenxu meant, but since she was his sister, even though he was a little jealous, he still defended Bai Luo on the surface.
"Didn't you tell me yesterday to cover it up? What if people get suspicious if I come directly? Isn't it perfect to bring Bai Luo along? Besides, Mr. Li, why are you even jealous of women?"
The two have long been at odds, and even though they are now in a barely acceptable working relationship, Bai Ye and Li Chenxu still can't stand each other.
Now that he had the chance, Bai Ye naturally wouldn't hold back in mocking Li Chenxu.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu didn't intend to pay much attention to Bai Ye's meaning. He simply snorted heavily and then walked to the desk and sat down. Looking down at Bai Ye, he said, "I asked you to come here today because I want Mr. Bai to help me investigate someone."
"I never imagined that Mr. Li would have to ask for help one day."
It's strange, really. Mingye seems like a very composed person, so he shouldn't be the type to engage in something as quick-witted as this.
However, every time they meet Li Chenxu, they seem uncomfortable if they don't exchange a few words.
For example, Bai Ye will not let go of any opportunity to confront Li Chenxu, no matter how small.
Even Li Chenxu felt helpless at this moment.
He stared at Bai Ye for a few seconds with a stern face, and finally said, "Bai Ye, no matter what you say, Xiao Yu is still mine."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's eyes narrowed dangerously. He stared at Li Chenxu with that look for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.
Without any hesitation, he sat down opposite Li Chenxu and said, "Tell me, Mr. Li, what do you want me to do for you?"
"I want you to investigate my assistant, Lin Qing."
Time was of the essence, and it was unknown what Lin Qing would do while Li Chenxu was ill, so Li Chenxu kept it brief and gave Bai Ye a general account of Lin Qing's actions.
“Lin Qing has been with me for almost ten years. If I use the Li family and my own influence to investigate, I can do so without him noticing, but it will be much slower. So I want Mr. Bai to help me investigate Lin Qing.”
