Chapter 155 Going to the Bai Family

After speaking, without waiting for Li Chenxu's reply, Mu Xiaoyu quickly ran upstairs. What she didn't see was the thoughtful look in Li Chenxu's eyes as he stared at her after she went upstairs…

Mu Xiaoyu hadn't opened many of the gifts Li Chenxu had given her before, so this saved her a lot of trouble. After selecting a few gifts, Mu Xiaoyu had the servants carefully pack them before she started packing for herself.

Since it wasn't a dance party, Mu Xiaoyu didn't wear a particularly formal dress. Instead, she chose a simple yet elegant dress and applied light makeup before going downstairs.

At that moment, Li Chenxu was watching the news in the living room. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu come down, his deep eyes immediately narrowed.

Seeing Li Chenxu's expression, Mu Xiaoyu immediately felt something was wrong. She thought that Li Chenxu had discovered her purpose in going to the Bai family, and she immediately became uneasy.

"Brother Chenxu... why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?"

Li Chenxu didn't speak, but stood up and walked to Mu Xiaoyu's side. He put his strong arms around Mu Xiaoyu's slender waist and pulled her in front of him before saying in a deep voice, "It's just to see Bai Luo, why do you need to put on makeup?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated. She looked helplessly at Li Chenxu and said, "Brother Chenxu, I only put on a very simple makeup. After all, it's a family like the Bai family; I can't possibly go there without any makeup, can I?"

Li Chenxu understood the reasons, but he still felt uncomfortable letting others see the beautiful Mu Xiaoyu. Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the Bai family also had an unmarried man around his age…

Mu Xiaoyu had no idea what Li Chenxu was thinking. She only knew that Li Chenxu was jealous, but she wasn't angry. She just thought Li Chenxu was cute like this. Seeing this, she reached out and patted Li Chenxu's head as if to soothe a child's emotions, and said, "Brother Chenxu, don't be jealous. I'm just going to Bai Luo's house to play. I promise I won't look at anyone else. Is that okay?"

In fact, both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu's possessiveness was getting stronger and stronger. If it were the old Mu Xiaoyu, she would have started arguing with Li Chenxu long ago, given his strong possessiveness.

But now Mu Xiaoyu didn't, and even patiently took the initiative to soothe Li Chenxu's emotions, which is enough to show what position Li Chenxu holds in Mu Xiaoyu's heart now.

As the head of the Li family, Li Chenxu knew very well that one should not be too greedy, but knowing it in one's heart is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

However, Mu Xiaoyu was quite satisfied with what he had done.

Hearing this, he lowered his head and gently bit Mu Xiaoyu's lips before letting go, saying, "Then you should come back early today. If it's too late... just call me and I'll come pick you up."

This is already the biggest concession Li Chenxu can make; any more would be unacceptable.

Mu Xiaoyu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll call you when I'm coming back."

Only after receiving Mu Xiaoyu's assurance did Li Chenxu feel at ease enough to let Mu Xiaoyu leave.

The Bai family's car was already waiting outside the gate. Bai Luo was sitting in the car when he saw Mu Xiaoyu come out. He quickly opened the car door to take the things from Mu Xiaoyu's hands.

Whether it was because she was afraid of Li Chenxu like everyone else, or for some other reason, when Bai Luo saw Li Chenxu seeing Mu Xiaoyu off, she only glanced at her before quickly looking away and helping Mu Xiaoyu carry her things into the car.

Mu Xiaoyu saw this scene and turned to look at Li Chenxu behind her, saying with a smile, "Alright, Brother Chenxu, don't bother seeing me off. Look, you've scared Luo Luo."

With outsiders present, Li Chenxu wasn't as gentle as he was at home. However, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he smiled slightly and then instructed Mu Xiaoyu, "Okay, then I won't see you off. Get in the car, and I'll leave after I see you get in."

Mu Xiaoyu nodded upon hearing this, and without saying anything more, she hugged Li Chenxu and got into the car. Only after the car left their villa did Li Chenxu return to the villa.

Once they could no longer see Li Chenxu, Bai Luo patted her chest with lingering fear and said to Mu Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, Mr. Li's aura is really... really too powerful. Just now, when he glanced at me, I felt my legs go weak!"

Bai Luo was naturally very lively, and seeing her do this made Mu Xiaoyu unable to help but chuckle.

She looked at Bai Luo helplessly and explained, "Actually, Brother Shen Xu isn't scary at all; he's just a bit serious when he's outside..."

Even Mu Xiaoyu herself didn't find these words convincing. Let alone Bai Luo, even she herself had sometimes found Li Chenxu somewhat frightening. And Bai Luo, being younger than her, was even less able to resist Li Chenxu in this situation.

Bai Luo shrugged upon hearing this, mimicking Mu Xiaoyu's helpless expression as she looked at her and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you're Mr. Li's wife. He treats you differently than he treats us. And..."

It's unclear what Bai Luo was thinking, but she abruptly stopped mid-sentence. As if to cover it up, she quickly turned her head away and stammered, "Besides, I'm not familiar with Mr. Li..."

That last remark was clearly just something said offhand; it wasn't what he originally intended to say at all.

Mu Xiaoyu noticed Bai Luo's odd behavior. She suddenly remembered what Bai Luo had said to her last night, and after a moment of silence, she couldn't help but ask, "Luo Luo, you said yesterday that you knew something about those two accidents... Are these things related to my husband?"

"Yes, I am concerned... but Sister Xiaoyu, please don't misunderstand! Mr. Li has absolutely not done anything to wrong you!"

Bai Luo had originally called Mu Xiaoyu over today to talk about this matter, so now that Mu Xiaoyu was asking, she had nothing to hide.

Seeing Bai Luo's nervous expression, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. Actually, even if Bai Luo hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have suspected that Li Chenxu would do anything bad to her. How could someone who would risk his life for her do anything to wrong her?

She was simply curious as to why Li Chenxu was involved in these two matters, or rather, what the relationship was between Li Chenxu and the person behind them...
