Chapter 45
"Mu...Mu Xiaoyu...you're finished. I won't let you get away with this..."
After beating Chen Hao until his face was bruised, Mu Xiaoyu stopped. She clapped her hands, turned to leave, and then suddenly heard Chen Hao's voice. If she hadn't had a recording, she wouldn't have cared, but since she did, what was there to be afraid of Chen Hao for?
Too lazy to waste any more words with Chen Hao, Mu Xiaoyu opened the door to leave. However, the moment she opened the door and saw Li Chenxu standing there, she froze.
The office door is semi-transparent, allowing taller people to see clearly inside.
Since reconciling with Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu has shown every side of herself in front of him—gentle, cute, and everything in between—but she's never been fierce or aggressive. Especially after that scene in the office where she beat up Chen Hao, Mu Xiaoyu wondered how much of it Li Chenxu had actually witnessed…
Seeing the mockery in Li Chenxu's eyes, Mu Xiaoyu wished she could dig a hole and disappear into it.
"Xiaoyu, I never expected you to have this side to you."
Li Chenxu was clearly suppressing a laugh. When he finished speaking, his lips were pressed tightly together, as if he was afraid that he would burst out laughing.
Mu Xiaoyu felt utterly ashamed. Upon hearing this, she glanced at Li Chenxu before quickly lowering her head and stammering, "I...I...I had no choice, I had no other option..."
Li Chenxu didn't speak upon hearing this, but this time he couldn't hold back and chuckled softly. There was no contempt in his laughter; on the contrary, it was filled with obvious pleasure because he had seen a different side of Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu was too embarrassed to look at Li Chenxu. The low laughter in her ear made her body burn, as if she were in a steamer. Even without looking, she could guess how red her face was.
However, at that moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a warmth on her head. She couldn't help but look up and saw Li Chenxu's broad and warm hand on her head.
“Xiaoyu, I’m actually very happy… I used to think about how I could make sure you wouldn’t get hurt by anyone. But now it seems that my Xiaoyu can protect herself well even when I’m not around.”
The words "My Xiaoyu" instantly made Mu Xiaoyu's heart race. Her face flushed as she looked at Li Chenxu, gazing into his tender, doting eyes. Unable to resist, she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, whispering, "That's only when you're not here... If you were here, I wouldn't do this..."
Although her voice was soft, the dependence she showed on Li Chenxu was palpable. Any man would be pleased to hear his woman say such things, and Li Chenxu, being just an ordinary man in matters of the heart, was naturally happy as well.
However, compared to this matter, he has more important things to do right now...
"Xiaoyu, go wait for me in the car first, I'll come down in a bit."
Mu Xiaoyu nodded. Li Chenxu had probably heard everything. Didn't she know what kind of person Li Chenxu was? She was ruthless, but Li Chenxu was even more ruthless. Now that he was here, he naturally wouldn't let Chen Hao go.
She didn't intend to stop him. Someone like Chen Hao was letting him off easy by just getting a beating from her. Now that Li Chenxu was willing to step in, that was even better. If she didn't teach someone like Chen Hao a lesson, what would happen if he went out and ruined other girls?
So Mu Xiaoyu said no more and obediently left the office.
No one knew how Li Chenxu had handled Chen Hao's matter. Mu Xiaoyu had only been in the car for ten minutes when Li Chenxu got out. His suit was still neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle, and his hairstyle was as meticulous as ever. It was impossible to tell what he had done.
Mu Xiaoyu was a little curious, so after Li Chenxu got into the car, she couldn't help but lean closer to him and whisper, "Chenxu, what did you do with that Chen Hao guy?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu gave Mu Xiaoyu a meaningful smile: "Dealing with someone like Chen Hao isn't difficult... You'll know the result tomorrow, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Mu Xiaoyu became even more curious after hearing Li Chenxu's words, but in order to maintain her anticipation and curiosity, she did not ask any further questions and started chatting with Li Chenxu about other things.
In reality, the two of them rarely sat down for a calm and peaceful conversation. Even when they did sit down to talk, it mostly revolved around the divorce, and they didn't talk much about each other's work.
Moreover, in Mu Xiaoyu's opinion, although both she and Li Chenxu are outstanding in their respective professional fields, they may not necessarily understand each other's work.
However, after spending time with Li Chenxu today, Mu Xiaoyu completely changed her previous opinion of Li Chenxu.
Putting aside Li Chenxu's business acumen, just considering his extensive knowledge, he could not only talk fluently with Mu Xiaoyu about things related to comics, but also answer Mu Xiaoyu's questions about various aspects of comic derivative publishing. Moreover, every question he raised was very professional. If Mu Xiaoyu didn't know that Li Chenxu was a businessman, she would almost think that Li Chenxu was an expert in the comic industry!
"Chen Xu... how... how do you know so much?"
The current Mu Xiaoyu is much more honest than before, and she clearly recognizes Li Chenxu's strengths. When she speaks now, her eyes are filled with admiration as she looks at Li Chenxu, like a devoted fan looking at her idol.
Mu Xiaoyu's appearance successfully pleased Li Chenxu. From the moment Mu Xiaoyu brought him food today until now, the smile in the corner of his eyes has hardly disappeared from his handsome face.
He was already extremely handsome, but he rarely smiled, which always gave people a sharp and scary feeling. However, when he faced Mu Xiaoyu, the gentle smile he showed was even more dangerous. Not to mention Mu Xiaoyu, even other women would probably have no power to resist Li Chenxu like this.
However, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu did not respond. In truth, he had always been a very thoughtful person, and he desperately wanted Mu Xiaoyu to truly understand his feelings for her.
But the atmosphere between the two of them had been so good these past two days that he even had the illusion that it was all an illusion, and he didn't want to break this beautiful moment.
