The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 149 Am I that scary?

Chapter 149 Am I that scary?

Li Chenxu had obviously seen it too; the smile on his lips vanished instantly. He squinted at Lin Xia's billboard a few times, finally letting out a cryptic chuckle: "You've got guts."

Like frost in the twelfth lunar month, his voice was frighteningly cold. Even Mu Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her spine when she heard Li Chenxu's voice.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Xia's billboard again. This was one of the larger commercial centers in Beijing, and most of the brands here were international big brands. The large billboards inside were mostly for international luxury brands.

Although Lin Xia's advertisement isn't from a top-tier brand, it's still quite well-known in China. More importantly, the billboard is enormous; it's visible from almost anywhere in this commercial center...

Mu Xiaoyu knew how good Li Chenxu was to her, but just because he was good to her didn't mean he was good to others. She knew Li Chenxu's temperament very well. What Lin Xia did back then had already crossed Li Chenxu's bottom line.

Banning Lin Xia was already an act of leniency from Li Chenxu. Now, so short a time later, Lin Xia's high-profile comeback is tantamount to slapping Li Chenxu in the face.

If Li Chenxu lets Lin Xia off so easily this time, then the sun will truly rise in the west.

However, Mu Xiaoyu was very happy today and didn't want Lin Xia's matter to ruin her and Li Chenxu's mood. So when she saw Li Chenxu's slightly gloomy face, she quickly took his arm and comforted him, saying, "Brother Chenxu, don't look. Don't let Lin Xia affect our mood, okay?"

Mu Xiaoyu's voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness, instantly dispelling any anger Li Chenxu felt. He looked down at Mu Xiaoyu, who was holding his arm, and seeing the affection written on her fair face, his mood improved considerably.

He reached out and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair twice, finally smiling as he said, "Okay, I won't look at her. It's been a long time since I've gone shopping with you. How about we go to the mall and see if there's anything you want to buy?"

In fact, Mu Xiaoyu lacked nothing. Although she and Li Chenxu rarely went shopping together, Li Chenxu would almost immediately have all the necessary items, including many luxury goods, delivered to her home whenever new models were available. Because of her profession, she didn't go out much, so many of her belongings remained unused even once.

But she wanted to go shopping with Li Chenxu and enjoy the feeling of being with a normal couple.

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, she immediately nodded and said happily, "Let's go to West Street and take a look. There are so many shops there selling couple outfits. We've been together for so long, but we've never worn couple outfits before!"

Mu Xiaoyu is still quite young. She married Li Chenxu before graduating and didn't date much. Now that she's fallen for Li Chenxu, she naturally wants to do all the things that ordinary couples do with him.

Li Chenxu also doted on Mu Xiaoyu, so upon hearing this, he didn't say anything and smiled as he watched Mu Xiaoyu agree.

Although Mu Xiaoyu comes from a humble background, she has been with Li Chenxu for so many years, and her previous aloof temperament has given her a subtle air of nobility. When she and Li Chenxu walk together in a crowd, aside from their outstanding appearances, their temperament alone is enough to attract attention.

The two entered a store at random, and the sales assistant immediately began to greet them warmly when she saw them come in.

Some customers in the store also frequently glanced at the two of them, proving that they were truly eye-catching wherever they went.

Both of them are considered celebrities, and some people seemed to recognize them, taking out their phones to secretly take pictures of them.

"Why are we being treated like celebrities? They're even taking pictures of us secretly..." Mu Xiaoyu muttered to Li Chenxu. Although she was used to being watched, she was still a little uncomfortable being secretly photographed like this.

Li Chenxu didn't speak, but his deep eyes slowly swept over everyone present. He didn't say anything, just glanced at them, and those who were secretly taking pictures seemed to be startled and instantly looked away.

Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu had a powerful aura, but seeing the expressions on these people's faces, like mice seeing a cat, she almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Brother Chenxu, why are they so afraid of you? You only glanced at them, and they got this scared... Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Mu Xiaoyu lowered her voice and spoke to Li Chenxu, her voice carrying a smile but also a hint of helplessness.

Li Chenxu glanced down at Mu Xiaoyu, and when he saw the suppressed laughter on Mu Xiaoyu's face, the corners of his lips visibly turned up. Just as Mu Xiaoyu had said, he had only glanced at those people and hadn't shown any warning. However, it was this simple look, which he considered meaningless, that frightened them.

Seeing those people, Li Chenxu suddenly recalled his time with Mu Xiaoyu. Back then, the atmosphere between them was nothing like the harmonious one they had now. For most of the time, they were at odds, and there was hardly a moment when they could coexist peacefully.

Did he look at Mu Xiaoyu back then in the same way he does now?

"Xiaoyu, before... when I looked at you, was it like this too?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Chenxu finally couldn't help but ask. When he asked this question, his expression was very serious, which made Mu Xiaoyu laugh out loud without giving him any face at all.

Amidst the surprised gazes of those around her, she reached out and pinched Li Chenxu's cheek, laughing, "Brother Chenxu, in your eyes, am I really such a timid person? Besides, you weren't like this at all when you were in front of me before..."

"If it's not like this, then what is it like?"

This time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't answer Li Chenxu immediately. She frowned slightly, recalling the time they spent together. Back then, it seemed that Li Chenxu rarely caused any trouble. Most of the time, it was because she deliberately did things to annoy Li Chenxu in order to divorce him.

Thinking back to Li Chenxu's appearance at that time, there was anger and sadness, but every time he looked at her, his gaze was never as cold as when he looked at those outsiders.

Actually, she should have known back then that she was never the same person in Li Chenxu's heart from the very beginning...
