The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 509: Pretty Boy?

Chapter 509: Pretty Boy?

Mu Xiaoyu felt a stinging sensation in her nose. She took a deep breath and was about to chase after Li Chenxu again when suddenly someone appeared in front of her. His leather shoes were spotless, and even the wrinkles at the hem of his trousers were barely noticeable.

She felt something was familiar, and subconsciously looked up to find that Li Chenxu had returned.

Mu Xiaoyu suddenly didn't understand what Li Chenxu meant. Seeing this, she looked up at him blankly, opened her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you come back?"

"Didn't you want to go eat beef hot pot?"

Li Chenxu stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu, clearly still somewhat angry with her. His expression was still not good, though much better than before.

Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Li Chenxu for a moment before she suddenly realized what was going on. She tentatively tried to take Li Chenxu's arm again, just like before. This time, Li Chenxu was not as indifferent as before. He simply said, "You really are pushing your luck."

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately felt relieved. She smiled at Li Chenxu and said, "Even if I push my luck, it's still not your permission."

The more heartbroken and disappointed she was just now, the happier Mu Xiaoyu is now.

Ultimately, even if Li Chenxu is still angry about the mistakes she made back then, he still has feelings for her. If he didn't, he wouldn't have come back now.

Therefore, as long as she persists and puts her heart into it, no matter how long it takes, sooner or later, Li Chenxu will return.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's smile deepened.

Li Chenxu took all of this in, a subtle smile playing on his lips. Neither of them had eaten much that evening, so they didn't say much and left the company directly.

It was already close to nine o'clock at night, and when the two left the company, there were already more and more people outside. Although the weather had been a bit cooler than the previous few days, it was still much warmer than the days before, so there were more people out than before.

It was a rather ambiguous time of night, and the streets were mostly filled with couples or married couples. Most of the people out together seemed to have a good relationship. Men like Li Chenxu, whose faces remained expressionless, were truly rare.

Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the people coming and going around them, then at Li Chenxu, who remained expressionless. Finally, she couldn't help but reach out and tug at Li Chenxu's clothes, whispering, "Don't keep that long face. Look, so many people are staring at you. People who don't know better might think I'm a rich woman keeping a gigolo..."

"Baby face?"

Li Chenxu stopped and looked down at Mu Xiaoyu, his expression a half-smile.

Mu Xiaoyu was frightened when she saw him like this, and hurriedly apologized: "I didn't mean you're a pretty boy, I meant you're good-looking."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu gave a blank hum, it was unclear whether he had taken Mu Xiaoyu's words to heart.

There are many places to eat in the city center. When the two of them were in a good relationship, they often ate here. Mu Xiaoyu knew exactly which restaurants had good food and which ones didn't.

So in less than ten minutes, the two were already seated in the restaurant and starting to order.

These days, not only Li Chenxu is busy, but Mu Xiaoyu is also busy. She had no experience in taking care of people before, so in order to appease Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu has put in a lot of effort, and her rest time is much less than before. She hasn't even had a proper meal.

Now that they've ordered the food, Li Chenxu isn't saying much. Mu Xiaoyu stares blankly at him, and as she stares, she starts to feel drowsy.

Before long, the soup pot and dishes had even arrived, he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep on the table.

However, Mu Xiaoyu was woken up by Li Chenxu after only a short time. Li Chenxu's complexion was not good before, but now, for some reason, it was even worse than before.

He stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu, his voice slightly deep: "Mu Xiaoyu, are you a pig or what? It's one thing to fall asleep in the office, but to fall asleep here too? Should I buy you another bed so you can sleep here?"

Li Chenxu's tone became increasingly venomous when facing Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu had gotten used to Li Chenxu's gentleness, but now that Li Chenxu had become like this, even though she had experienced it several times, she still couldn't get used to it.

She had just regained consciousness when she heard Li Chenxu's words and saw his mocking attitude, and she was stunned for a long time.

Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's dazed expression, Li Chenxu seriously doubted whether Mu Xiaoyu had gone mad.

Thinking about it this way, the wrinkles between his brows deepened even more.

"The beef is ready, eat up."

Li Chenxu spoke again, and Mu Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, looking at the small bowl in front of her, which was now piled high with beef.

There was no one serving her, so it's likely that Li Chenxu cooked all the beef for her herself.

Thinking about it this way, Mu Xiaoyu's previously blank face immediately broke into a smile.

She smiled sweetly at Li Chenxu, picked up a slice of beef, dipped it in satay sauce, and ate it. She liked both strong-flavored and light-flavored food, like hot pot. Just like what she was eating now, it was all food she had always loved, even the satay sauce in front of her was her favorite from back then, something Li Chenxu always remembered.

Mu Xiaoyu was in an even better mood. She glanced at the raw beef that was not yet cooked, then at Li Chenxu's empty bowl. After hesitating for a moment, she cooked some more beef for Li Chenxu herself.

However, Mu Xiaoyu was not only bad at cooking, she couldn't even blanch beef properly. The slices of beef she put into Li Chenxu's bowl were noticeably tougher than the beef in Mu Xiaoyu's bowl.

Surprisingly, Li Chenxu didn't seem to mind. This time, unlike before, he didn't mock Mu Xiaoyu. He simply ate the beef in his bowl in silence.

Mu Xiaoyu was completely unaware of this. Seeing that Li Chenxu didn't refuse, she assumed that the beef she had cooked was still edible. So later on, she would cook a few slices of beef for Li Chenxu every now and then.

Before long, the beef they ordered was gone, and both of them were full.

It was just an ordinary meal, but Mu Xiaoyu felt that the meal she had with Li Chenxu tonight was the best she had eaten recently.

Very satisfied and happy.

"Stop laughing, you're drooling."

After paying, Li Chenxu came over and saw Mu Xiaoyu smiling foolishly. She looked exactly like a little idiot, and even he himself almost couldn't help but laugh.
