That being said, unless there is a real collaboration next time, Li Chengnan and Mu Xiaoyu probably won't have many chances to meet again.
However, since we are all adults, we still need to exchange polite words.
So Mu Xiaoyu shook hands with Li Chengnan and smiled slightly, which was her answer.
Seeing this, Li Chengnan said no more, and left after saying goodbye to Xu Shu and Li Chenxu.
Xu Shu wanted to talk to Mu Xiaoyu about the new book and comic again, but with Li Chenxu, the stern-faced man, present, he couldn't say anything more and left with a random excuse.
Once Xu Shuren left, only Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu remained.
During dinner, we inevitably drank some alcohol. Although Mu Xiaoyu isn't a big drinker, she didn't drink much; it was all within her tolerance. As soon as Xu Shuren left, she collapsed into Li Chenxu's arms as if she had no bones.
With her eyes closed and looking unwell, she murmured, "I think I'm a little drunk, I can't walk... I feel so awful..."
Mu Xiaoyu's worst skill is acting. She's a little better now. Before, all her emotions were on full display, but now she can control them a little.
The acting was so convincing, it was almost unbelievable. Li Chenxu didn't call it out, though. Looking at Mu Xiaoyu, who was lying in his arms with her eyes closed, he couldn't help but chuckle. He raised an eyebrow, leaned down slightly, and said to Mu Xiaoyu, "Are you sure you're really drunk? I was originally thinking of taking you somewhere since it's still early, but since you're drunk, never mind..."
"no!"
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes. At the same time, she quickly wrapped her arms around Li Chenxu's neck, as if afraid that Li Chenxu would run away.
"Mu Xiaoyu, why don't you become an actress?"
Li Chenxu felt increasingly pleased watching Mu Xiaoyu's little actions. However, he still couldn't help but want to retort to Mu Xiaoyu.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu with a hint of resentment, then lowered her eyes and said in a pitiful tone, "I didn't mean to put on an act in front of you. It's just that you're always distancing yourself from me. I just want to get closer to you..."
"Intimacy? Didn't you say a few days ago that we were just bed partners? You said it yourself, are you trying to go back on your word now?"
Li Chenxu remained unmoved, his smile fading, appearing remarkably calm.
Seeing his expression, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She reached out and gently tugged at Li Chenxu's collar, saying pitifully, "That was just a temporary measure. You've been angry with me and with other women, so I had no choice but to do this. Are you still blaming me?"
"You're good at playing the victim in front of me, but when you forced Ningning to leave and hurt her, I don't think you showed any mercy at all."
Li Chenxu's tone clearly indicated that he knew about what Mu Xiaoyu had done to Ningning.
Immediately, Mu Xiaoyu felt a little guilty.
She didn't dare to look Li Chenxu in the eye, and muttered softly, "I had no choice. If it weren't for Ningning, I wouldn't have bothered her."
This was utterly sophistry. Li Chenxu almost laughed, but he didn't blame Mu Xiaoyu at all. After all, Ningning was someone he had found to pretend to be his girlfriend. He had achieved his goal, so it didn't matter what Mu Xiaoyu did to her. At worst, he would just give her some compensation later.
Even though Li Chenxu thought this way, he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu, thought for a moment, and finally asked, "How did you handle Ningning's departure?"
"What? You want to stand up for her?"
Mu Xiaoyu felt uneasy. She knew Li Chenxu all too well what kind of person he was. Although she had always believed that the thing between Ningning and him was fake, she still felt uneasy when she heard Li Chenxu mention Ningning so often.
"No, but I heard that you gave Ningning several million when she left, is that right?"
Nothing escaped Li Chenxu's eyes. Mu Xiaoyu was a little annoyed. Now that Li Chenxu knew, she wasn't afraid of him bringing up old scores. So she decided to throw caution to the wind and said with her chin up, "I gave her several million. Now that I think about it, I really lost a lot. If you want to talk, just say it. I know you're still angry. Anyway, I won't argue with anything you say now."
That's what she said, but Mu Xiaoyu's face clearly showed her frustration and grievance.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and pinched Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheek, saying, "You're really silly. That woman isn't worth eight million no matter what. You're really rich, giving money away so easily."
The reproach, tinged with affection, instantly made Mu Xiaoyu blush slightly. She didn't speak, but secretly glanced at Li Chenxu. Seeing that he wasn't angry or reproachful, but rather had a doting smile on his face, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly relaxed.
Li Chenxu's appearance was all too familiar, much like the helpless yet doting look he had when the two of them had a minor disagreement in the past.
Mu Xiaoyu thought that Li Chenxu might have already forgiven her.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly and ask cautiously, "Brother Chenxu, you're not angry anymore?"
"Who said I'm not angry?"
He said this, but there was no sign of anger on his face; instead, there was a slight smile on his lips.
Immediately, a smile appeared on Mu Xiaoyu's face. She hugged Li Chenxu's neck tightly, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, saying with a smile, "I knew you were the best, Brother Chenxu. Don't be angry anymore. It hurts me to see you angry. I really won't say things like that again. I'll be very good and obedient. Let's be like before, okay?"
In front of Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu can shed all her pretense and defenses, and simply be Mu Xiaoyu, revealing her most vulnerable side.
Because she believed that even if she showed her most vulnerable side to Li Chenxu, he would never hurt her.
Li Chenxu didn't speak, his deep eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoyu, his eyes flashing with unfathomable emotions. He looked at her with that gaze for a while before finally letting out a deep "hmm" from his throat.
