Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin immediately agreed, picked up the photo again, put it back on Li Chenxu's desk, and then left the office.
Li Chenxu remained seated, his deep gaze fixed on the photos on his desk, his face grim. Lost in thought, he eventually tossed all the photos into the shredder…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Mu Xiaoyu won first place in the comic competition held by the magazine. Although the magazine had already predetermined Mu Xiaoyu as the winner, judging from the strength of the contestants, Mu Xiaoyu's first place was well-deserved.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't shown up during the previous competitions, but the magazine arranged for her to go and receive the award during the finals. This competition was quite large, and several major media outlets were present.
For an ordinary author, the magazine might not have allowed the author to personally appear, since most people are too rare to possess both talent and good looks. Mu Xiaoyu's outstanding appearance is also a promotional gimmick. With so many media outlets promoting Mu Xiaoyu, the already popular comic book publishing will become even more unstoppable.
Mu Xiaoyu used to quietly draw comics at home, and this was the first time she had participated in an event like this. Although it was a formal occasion, she wasn't a celebrity, so there was no need for her to dress up extravagantly.
So the day before the final award ceremony, Li Chenxu took Mu Xiaoyu to a specialty store to choose the clothes she would wear.
Mu Xiaoyu's clothes are mostly bought by Li Chenxu. She rarely chooses them herself, and she has so many clothes at home that she can hardly wear them all. There are many clothes that she has never worn even once.
She was feeling utterly helpless being dragged out to buy clothes by Li Chenxu.
“Chen Xu, we have so many clothes at home, including some more formal ones. I can just pick one from there. There’s no need to go through all this trouble.”
Li Chenxu was focused on picking out dresses for Mu Xiaoyu. Upon hearing this, he didn't even glance at Mu Xiaoyu and said directly, "No, those are all last year's styles, and I feel like too many people are wearing them. This store is more niche, and the designer's style suits you very well. I heard they have some new styles recently, so we can buy more."
Most men find shopping the most unbearable thing, but this never happens when Li Chenxu is with Mu Xiaoyu. More importantly, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu are like opposites when it comes to this. Mu Xiaoyu doesn't particularly enjoy shopping, while Li Chenxu is always more enthusiastic than anyone else when they go shopping.
Of course, Li Chenxu wasn't buying it for himself, but for Mu Xiaoyu.
He was extremely possessive, yet incredibly good to Mu Xiaoyu. He wanted to give Mu Xiaoyu the best of everything; he wanted her to have everything other women had, and not only that, but also the best and most beautiful of everything. The woman he loved deserved the very best…
Mu Xiaoyu knew that it would be useless to say anything to Li Chenxu at this point, so she stopped talking and followed Li Chenxu to choose clothes.
It's early autumn now, and the weather is a bit cooler than during the sweltering heat, but it's still quite muggy during the day. Mu Xiaoyu prefers a casual suit; after all, it's not a formal dinner party. For such a formal occasion, a slightly serious yet not rigid suit is just right for her age.
So Mu Xiaoyu took a dark casual suit and went to Li Chenxu, asking, "How about this?"
Li Chenxu glanced at it, then frowned and shook his head, handing the pale yellow dress to Mu Xiaoyu and asking, "Do you like this one?"
Mu Xiaoyu is quite confident in her appearance, and she also maintains a slim figure by strictly controlling her diet, so she has always been a clothes hanger.
Upon hearing this, she glanced at the dress in Li Chenxu's hand, and it was indeed the style she liked. So she didn't say anything more, asked the sales assistant to find her the right size, and then went into the dressing room to change.
Li Chenxu has always had excellent taste. Mu Xiaoyu has fair skin, and the pale yellow color complements her complexion perfectly. In addition, the design of this dress is simple and elegant. After Mu Xiaoyu put it on, she looked so beautiful that even she herself couldn't take her eyes off her.
However... it looks good, but it's a bit too revealing.
Looking at the large expanse of skin showing off her chest, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to laugh. She was almost certain that Li Chenxu would never expect this effect from her wearing the dress, and she wondered what kind of expression he would have when he saw it.
With that thought in mind, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. Without further hesitation, she opened the door and went out.
Li Chenxu was sitting on the sofa waiting for Mu Xiaoyu. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu walk out, a clear look of amazement flashed in his deep eyes. However, this amazement only lasted for a few seconds. When he saw the various looks that the other male customers in the store were giving Mu Xiaoyu, his face immediately darkened.
He stood up, took off his suit jacket and draped it over Mu Xiaoyu's shoulders, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't let anyone else see this."
With a stern face and a tone full of possessiveness, he looked to Mu Xiaoyu like a wronged child who had his candy taken by another child.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle. She tilted her little face up and looked at Li Chenxu with a smile, pretending to be innocent as she said, "Brother Chenxu, you're the one who told me to change this. I'm going to wear it out tomorrow, so how can I not let people see it?"
“I…I’ve changed my mind. You should wear the casual suit you just picked out. You can’t wear this out. Besides, it’s getting cold now, and you’ll easily catch a cold if you wear a skirt. Your health isn’t good to begin with.”
When Li Chenxu said this, his expression was very serious. If someone didn't know the situation, they would really think that Li Chenxu was saying the truth.
But Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu was just jealous of those passersby.
The more Li Chenxu acted this way, the more Mu Xiaoyu couldn't resist teasing him. After all, she was usually completely under Li Chenxu's thumb, and now that she finally had such an opportunity, how could she possibly let it go?
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu pouted and pretended to be troubled, saying, "I was just thinking about it, and the casual suit I just picked is a bit too formal. How about this one? It's not too flashy, but it's still quite formal. Besides, my husband has such good taste, it would look great on me, wouldn't it?"
