"Perhaps to be more accurate, it's about you, not Miss Mu."
After speaking, Bai Ye left the office without waiting for Li Chenxu's reply. He didn't need to say more; his words were enough to leave it at that. Someone like Li Chenxu would understand what he meant and know what to do.
Li Chenxu, still sitting in his office chair, showed no change in response to Bai Ye's words. His expression remained calm, without a trace of surprise, as if he had known about this all along.
Before they could capture Mu Pengzheng, their targets were him and Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Pengzheng harbored hatred for him, but he cared more about Mu Xiaoyu's mother. Yet, every time he devised a trap, he always took Li Chenxu into account.
If it weren't for the person behind him wanting to harm Li Chenxu, Mu Pengzheng wouldn't have needed to do those things.
Li Chenxu is a cautious and intelligent person; how could he not know this?
The reason he felt so relaxed now was because with Mu Pengzheng captured, the dangers surrounding Mu Xiaoyu would be greatly reduced.
Thinking about the current situation, Li Chenxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't care about himself; as long as Mu Xiaoyu was alright, that was enough.
Mu Xiaoyu had originally planned to go out for a stroll with Bai Luo, but not long after Li Chenxu left, it started snowing heavily, and the snow was so heavy that it didn't seem like it would stop anytime soon.
So the gathering was moved to the villa at the last minute. When Bai Luo arrived, the snow outside was falling even harder.
"Luckily we weren't outside. Sister Xiaoyu, you have no idea how bad the traffic is outside, especially in the city center. I heard the snow is so thick that it's impossible to drive. It's only better here."
Bai Luo had been stuck in traffic for almost an hour on the way here, and was very bored in the car, so as soon as she entered the door, she couldn't help but complain to Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at the snow on Bai Luo's head and couldn't help but laugh. She asked the servants to bring a towel and wiped the snow off Bai Luo's head before saying, "If this snow continues like this today, I don't think you'll be able to go home."
"That's good! I've never slept with you before, Sister Xiaoyu."
As Bai Luo spoke, her eyes darted around, and she suddenly gave Mu Xiaoyu a teasing smile, winking as she added, "But, if I stay here, won't Mr. Li be unhappy?"
"Him? Why is he unhappy?"
Mu Xiaoyu didn't react immediately, but when she saw Bai Luo's teasing look, she immediately understood.
She glared at Bai Luo, amused and exasperated, and said helplessly, "What are you thinking about all day long? Shen Xu and I have been married for several years, we're not newlyweds, so there's nothing like what you're thinking. If the snow doesn't stop today, you can rest here tonight."
Bai Luo snorted twice upon hearing this, not refuting Mu Xiaoyu's words. Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had indeed been married for several years. But didn't they know that these two long-married couples, despite being married for so many years, acted like newlyweds?
Several times, she couldn't bear to watch the sweet, romantic moments between the two of them!
However, Bai Luo would never say these things to Mu Xiaoyu's face, because she knew that Mu Xiaoyu was shy.
Before Bai Luo arrived, Mu Xiaoyu had already asked the family servants to prepare a lot of things that Bai Luo liked to eat. When Bai Luo arrived, there was a long traffic jam on the way. After exchanging a few words with Mu Xiaoyu, he just kept eating.
"By the way, Sister Xiaoyu, where have you been these past few days? Mr. Li said you went to scout locations, but I don't think there are any places that particularly need to be scouted for your comic book?"
The Bai people are relatively simple-minded. Because they are so well protected, they tend to have a simpler perspective on many things.
Although he felt something was off during Mu Xiaoyu's disappearance, he didn't think much of it and voiced his doubts to Mu Xiaoyu.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu paused in rinsing the tea, but quickly resumed her actions without looking at Bai Luo, saying, "It's not this comic, it's the next one."
"You're going to do a dungeon? Sister Xiaoyu, you've already started preparing for a dungeon!"
It's worth noting that Bai Luo, like Song Yin, is a loyal fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books; they've read every single one of Mu Xiaoyu's comics. Moreover, in their opinion, from Mu Xiaoyu's debut until now, every single comic she's created has been a high-quality work, never disappointing.
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say that she has started preparing for a new work, I am filled with surprise and joy.
Bai Luo's appearance made Mu Xiaoyu feel a little ashamed. She didn't feel anything when she said these words to others.
But for some reason, seeing Bai Luo so happy made her feel guilty, so she felt even more embarrassed to look Bai Luo in the eye.
Hearing this, he could only vaguely say, "I already have an idea in mind, so I thought I'd go out and look around for inspiration."
Bai Luo was really easy to fool. Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say this, she didn't have any doubts at all. She even said a lot of encouraging and expectant words to Mu Xiaoyu, acting like a complete fan.
In the end, Mu Xiaoyu's face turned a little red.
Fortunately, Bai Luo didn't dwell on the matter for too long. After chatting with Mu Xiaoyu for a while, he started to feel sleepy.
She had already found a job and started an internship after graduation, but after the kidnapping incident, the Bai family told Bai Luo to rest at home this year and discuss the job issue later.
Anyway, even if Bai Luo never works in his life, the Bai family can still support him.
So Bai Luo had nothing to do at home during this time. In addition, it was cold outside in winter and she didn't want to go out, so she spent most of her day sleeping.
Now that he was full, he slumped down on the sofa in Mu Xiaoyu's house and fell asleep.
Mu Xiaoyu was organizing her previous manuscripts when she looked up and saw Bai Luo fast asleep with her mouth open.
Bai Luo has an adorable appearance, with a face as small as a palm, just like Mu Xiaoyu's. Now, asleep, she's lying on her side, her little mouth drooling, looking completely unrefined.
But strangely enough, I didn't notice anything at all and continued to sleep soundly.
In this state, even if it thunders and rains, the person might not wake up.
