Chapter 350: Establishing Authority
"I want to take a shower, carry me to the shower."
Seeing Li Chenxu's thoughtful expression, Mu Xiaoyu was afraid that Li Chenxu might have some bad ideas, so she quickly said to Li Chenxu.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's startled reaction, Li Chenxu found it quite amusing. He didn't immediately reach out to hug Mu Xiaoyu, but instead bent down close to her, looking at her with a serious expression, and said, "Xiaoyu, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What...what are you talking about?"
Li Chenxu's sudden change in expression made Mu Xiaoyu's heart leap into her throat, and she began to stammer.
However, for some reason, Li Chenxu became even more unfathomable. He didn't answer Mu Xiaoyu's question, but instead gave Mu Xiaoyu a mischievous smile and bit her cheek.
Moreover, the spot where Li Chenxu bit him was exactly the same spot where Mu Xiaoyu had bitten him earlier.
Li Chenxu's actions were completely unexpected by Mu Xiaoyu. When Li Chenxu gritted his teeth, she was shocked.
Mu Xiaoyu shoved Li Chenxu away, covered her face where Li Chenxu had bitten her, and pointed at him, stammering, "What did you just do!"
"I didn't do anything. You just bit me, and I thought you wanted me to do the same to you, so I bit you back. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu innocently, appearing as innocent as could be, but Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu was doing it on purpose.
But if she were to say that Li Chenxu did it on purpose at this moment, wouldn't that expose her own intentions and give Li Chenxu a legitimate opportunity to 'teach her a lesson'?
Mu Xiaoyu was furious, but she couldn't lash out at the moment. She gritted her teeth and looked at Li Chenxu, whose face was completely innocent. Finally, she said with a forced smile, "I'm glad you've finally shown some interest."
These two short sentences, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, made Li Chenxu's smile even brighter.
He didn't say anything more, bent down and carried Mu Xiaoyu into the bathroom inside the office to wash her body.
Normally, Mu Xiaoyu would never let Li Chenxu touch her when it came to taking a bath. In the past, as long as Li Chenxu cleaned her up, they would stay in the bathroom for at least an hour before coming out.
However, Mu Xiaoyu was now under too much pressure from Li Chenxu and didn't have the strength to take a bath, so she had to let Li Chenxu do it.
Fortunately, Li Chenxu also considered Mu Xiaoyu's health. Although he still wanted Mu Xiaoyu, he ultimately felt sorry for her and restrained himself several times before he lost control.
By the time the two finished dressing and getting ready, it was completely dark outside. The heavy rain had stopped, and only a light drizzle was falling. They had been so busy for so long that they hadn't even had dinner, and Mu Xiaoyu's stomach had been rumbling several times already.
"I'll have Lin Qing go out and buy some food first, so you can have something to eat."
There were some snacks in the office, but Mu Xiaoyu didn't have an appetite for them and only wanted to eat, so she refused.
Hearing Li Chenxu say this, Mu Xiaoyu still shook her head and said, "Anyway, we're going back now, why waste time? We can just find a place to eat something when we go out later. By the way... what are you going to do about Assistant Lin's matter? If you leave him hanging, won't he get suspicious?"
Mu Xiaoyu had never intended to get involved in Lin Zhu's affairs, but with so many things happening lately, she was afraid that if Li Chenxu got too busy and Lin Zhu didn't handle things properly, and Lin Zhu tried to harm Li Chenxu, it would be like adding fuel to the fire for them.
“I know what you’re worried about, but…”
Before Li Chenxu could finish speaking, there was a knock on the office door. Li Chenxu paused, his expression immediately turning indifferent and cold: "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Assistant Lin walked in.
"Is something wrong?"
"Sir, have you eaten yet? Shall I order food for you and your wife now?"
In Mu Xiaoyu's memory, Lin Zhu had always been a confident, calm, and composed person. But now, perhaps due to the recent actions of Li Chenxu, Lin Zhu had become timid and hesitant, a far cry from his previous self.
Seeing Lin Zhu like this, if it weren't for that identical face, Mu Xiaoyu would even think they were two different people.
"No need to order food anymore. Is there anything else? Have you revised the contract? So many days have passed, and I've been so busy lately. I only made such a small mistake, and you still haven't finished it by now?"
Li Chenxu spoke in a seemingly calm tone, but the sharp glint in his dark eyes when he looked at Lin Zhu sent chills down one's spine. The surrounding aura was made no attempt to conceal itself, creating an oppressive atmosphere that was impossible to bear.
Moreover, Li Chenxu had been constantly putting pressure on Lin Zhu during this time, and seeing Li Chenxu like this now, Lin Zhu's legs immediately went weak. From Mu Xiaoyu's angle, she could even see Lin Zhu's legs trembling.
Mu Xiaoyu found it unbelievable. Logically speaking, if Lin Zhu really betrayed Li Chenxu, as an "insider," Lin Zhu's mental fortitude should far exceed that of others. Even if he couldn't withstand Li Chenxu's pressure, he shouldn't be so frightened.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked in Li Chenxu's direction.
When facing Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu can be extremely gentle, so much so that people who meet Li Chenxu for the first time would never imagine how terrifying he is when they see how he treats Mu Xiaoyu.
But when facing someone like Lin Zhu, the ruthless pressure emanating from Li Chenxu, even without being intentional, is enough to make one feel suffocated.
It seems that Mu Xiaoyu herself had once been afraid of Li Chenxu.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Assistant Lin is afraid of Li Chenxu and Cheng in this way.
"The contract...the contract has just been finalized, sir...I...did I do something wrong? Why have you been so..."
At this moment, Lin Zhu was clearly terrified of Li Chenxu. He stammered as he spoke, and towards the end, when he saw Li Chenxu's sharp and terrifying eyes, he couldn't even finish his sentence.
He stood there helplessly, looking nothing like someone who had betrayed Li Chenxu.
If it were the old Mu Xiaoyu, she might have been fooled by Lin Zhu's appearance. Unfortunately, after experiencing so much, she knew very well that there were many people in the real world whose acting skills were comparable to those of movie stars. Appearances are the least trustworthy thing!
