Chapter 546: Embarrassing
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was extremely uncomfortable, wishing the car would arrive at its destination quickly so she could escape this awkward atmosphere. But Gu Yeqi actually liked this atmosphere; the more unhappy Li Chenxu was, the happier he became.
So as soon as the car stopped, Gu Yeqi opened the car door and pulled Mu Xiaoyu out of the car at almost the fastest speed he had ever been.
The movement was so fast that even Li Chenxu didn't have time to react.
Looking again, Mu Xiaoyu and Gu Yeqi were already standing outside the car.
Mu Xiaoyu reacted a little slowly, and looked completely bewildered. Gu Yeqi, on the other hand, looked at Li Chenxu with a provocative expression.
Li Chenxu remained seated in the car, motionless. Because the interior lighting was too dim, his handsome face was hidden in the darkness, and his expression was somewhat ambiguous.
Despite feeling somewhat awkward, Mu Xiaoyu didn't want Li Chenxu to be angry. So after a moment of silence, seeing that Li Chenxu still showed no sign of coming out, she looked at Gu Yeqi beside her and whispered, "Don't say anything."
Mu Xiaoyu's eyes held a hint of helplessness and obvious embarrassment. Although Gu Yeqi disliked Li Chenxu, she ultimately liked Mu Xiaoyu, so she didn't want to see such emotions in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes.
So he nodded, and finally agreed somewhat reluctantly.
Seeing that Gu Yeqi agreed, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to the car, but Li Chenxu ignored her, seemingly angry.
Mu Xiaoyu cautiously reached out and hooked her hand around Li Chenxu's finger: "Are you angry?"
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but glanced at Mu Xiaoyu, clearly still angry.
Mu Xiaoyu found Li Chenxu's current behavior rather childish, somewhat amusing yet also quite endearing. So she didn't get angry, patiently looking at Li Chenxu and continuing to coax him: "Don't be angry. Gu Yeqi is young; we can all be his elders. Can't we just let it go?"
In fact, Mu Xiaoyu herself felt a little helpless. She was the one who was angry with Li Chenxu at the beginning, and she was giving him the cold shoulder on her own. But now, because of this one thing, she immediately surrendered and started to coax Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu pursed his lips and remained silent, it was unclear whether he had taken Mu Xiaoyu's words to heart.
Just when Mu Xiaoyu thought Li Chenxu wasn't going to get out of the car, Li Chenxu suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her: "You promised me before that you wouldn't associate with this kid, but you broke your promise."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback, and couldn't help but recall the promises she had made to Li Chenxu in the past.
It seems... she never said she really wouldn't meet with Gu Yeqi.
To put it another way, meeting Gu Yeqi was not intentional at all. She never expected to run into Gu Yeqi today, and it seems that they will meet quite often in the future.
If Li Chenxu continues to dwell on this matter, their conflicts will likely escalate far beyond this point in the future.
For a moment, Lin You didn't even know what to say, and her gaze towards Li Chenxu was filled with a hint of difficulty.
She was actually thinking about how to answer Li Chenxu, but in Li Chenxu's eyes, her appearance made him look guilty and annoyed.
She felt guilty about her relationship with Gu Yeqi, and she was annoyed that he was trying to control her.
In an instant, Li Chenxu released Mu Xiaoyu's hand. Without waiting for Mu Xiaoyu to speak, he got out of the car from the other side.
Before Mu Xiaoyu could even react, Li Chenxu had already disappeared from her sight.
She never expected this to happen. She had already tried to coax him with kind words, so why was he acting like this?
She hadn't said anything about his affair with Xu Sulin, yet Li Chenxu was treating her like this now.
Mu Xiaoyu felt terrible; she hadn't felt this bad in a long time.
She was not only angry at Li Chenxu, but also at his attitude towards her.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu even wanted to chase after Li Chenxu and ask him if, in his heart, she, Mu Xiaoyu, was really just a woman who was easy to coax, no matter what had happened in the past, as long as he, Li Chenxu, coaxed her, everything would be fine.
In front of Li Chenxu, even the slightest mistake would be magnified?
"Sister Xiaoyu, I'm so sorry, I never imagined things would turn out this way..."
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's half-crying appearance, Gu Yeqi felt extremely distressed. He disregarded his pride and went to Mu Xiaoyu to apologize.
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Gu Yeqi, whose face was full of self-reproach. Even when he apologized, he showed no reluctance, but rather his eyes were full of worry for her.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little dazed. She didn't know how long it had been since Li Chenxu had looked at her like that.
Is it possible that even the deepest feelings cannot withstand the passage of time?
"It's nothing, it's none of your business. Let's... go ahead."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to appear flustered in front of others, and no matter what the reason, she had to distance herself from Gu Yeqi for her own good and for Gu Yeqi's good as well.
Gu Yeqi frowned as he watched Mu Xiaoyu feign strength. He wanted to offer her some words of comfort, but before he could speak, she had already left.
The other people from the TV station arrived one after another. Given the current situation, it wasn't convenient to say anything, so Gu Yeqi could only follow behind Mu Xiaoyu.
However, this time, in order to prevent Mu Xiaoyu from having the same conflict with Li Chenxu as before, Gu Yeqi deliberately kept a little distance from Mu Xiaoyu.
They had booked a large private room. Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu arrived first and were already seated, while the rest of the TV crew would arrive later.
I don't know if it's just their imagination, but the atmosphere in the private room felt a bit strange.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, and saw that both of them had polite smiles on their faces. Although they did not speak, there was nothing unusual about them.
Even so, they still felt something was off, especially since Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were acting very strangely...
Perhaps because Li Chenxu was present, many people were a little reserved during the meal. Originally, everyone had planned to drink some alcohol, but now that Li Chenxu was here, no one drank any alcohol and they just had a regular meal.
"Mr. Li, this is my business card. Miss Mu can contact me if she needs anything in the future."
