The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 384 Show of Affection

Chapter 384 Showing Affection

Mu Xiaoyu's explanation was plausible, but Song Yin still felt that something was off. She frowned and looked at Bai Luo a few more times, and after a while, she said, "Alright, let's not think about those unpleasant things from the argument. Today is New Year's Day, so we should be happy, okay?"

Song Yin was too lazy to think about it anymore, and she couldn't figure out what reason Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Luo would have to hide it from her, so she didn't say anything more. She comforted Bai Luo a little and then stopped talking.

Originally, everyone planned to stay up all night together, but Bai Luo and Song Yin's generation didn't really believe in these things. In the past, it was other family members who did these things.

Several people lay on the sofa and drifted off to sleep.

Mu Xiaoyu is alright; she's been sleeping quite late lately, so she can manage for now. Li Chenxu had just finished talking with his subordinates, and after they left, he walked up behind Mu Xiaoyu and hugged her from behind.

"looking at what?"

"They're watching fireworks. There are regulations, so why are there still so many people setting off fireworks in the city? But some of the fireworks are really beautiful... I never thought there was anything special about the New Year before, but now I think it's really great."

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh. She wasn't actually a person who liked to sigh, but after living for more than 20 years, it seemed that she was only this year truly experiencing the joy of the New Year.

If you told anyone, probably not many people would believe it.

Hearing this, Li Chenxu chuckled softly from behind. He didn't speak immediately, but gently kissed Mu Xiaoyu's earlobe before saying, "Xiaoyu, have you forgotten something?"

"Forgot what? What have I forgotten?"

Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but turn to look at Li Chenxu. It seemed like that was all there was during the New Year; what else had she forgotten?

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's puzzled expression, Li Chenxu smiled helplessly, then suddenly took out a red envelope and handed it to Mu Xiaoyu: "Happy New Year, my little friend."

Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at the red envelope in her hand. It's no exaggeration to say that this was the first time she had ever received a red envelope in her more than 20 years of life, spanning two lifetimes. When she was a child, her family was poor, and because of her mother, Mu Pengzheng had never received a red envelope, let alone new clothes.

Suddenly receiving a red envelope from Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu felt a lump in her throat, as if she were about to cry.

She lowered her head, avoiding looking into Li Chenxu's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you send me a red envelope? I'm a grown woman now. If others find out, they'll laugh at me."

"Who says adults don't give red envelopes? Besides, no matter how old you are, to me you will always be my most beloved wife, and the little girl I want to protect. Not just this year, but next year, the year after, every year thereafter, I will give you a red envelope."

Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with deep affection in his eyes. After saying this, seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was almost crying, he continued, "Xiaoyu, I know you have suffered a lot in the past. The thing I regret most over the years is that I didn't meet you sooner, and I didn't help you get rid of that pain sooner. I can't be a part of your past, but I will walk with you every step of the way in the future. I will do my best to make sure you don't suffer any injustice."

When Li Chenxu said this, the seriousness in his eyes was as bright as the stars in the sky, which made Mu Xiaoyu unable to hold back her tears any longer and they flowed out directly.

She clutched the red envelope in her hand and threw herself into Li Chenxu's arms: "Why are you being so nice to me? Why are you doing this? I haven't cried at all these past few days, and now you've made me cry again. Li Chenxu, do you have ulterior motives? Look how many times you've made me cry in the past year!"

Mu Xiaoyu had never liked to cry before; in her view, crying was always the behavior of the weak. But ever since she confessed her feelings to Li Chenxu, he had done countless things that moved her. So much so that now, even though she's almost thirty in a few years, she still cries like a teenage girl. It's probably laughable if you told her.

Looking at Mu Xiaoyu, who was sobbing with emotion in his arms, Li Chenxu's eyes were filled with doting affection, almost overflowing. He reached out and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair, saying, "It's all my fault. How about I don't do these things anymore?"

"How can that be done!"

Mu Xiaoyu immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, and as she spoke, she looked up at Li Chenxu, her eyes full of accusation.

Li Chenxu was overjoyed and couldn't help but pinch Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheeks. He pretended to be helpless and looked at Mu Xiaoyu, saying, "Xiaoyu, you can't do this. You won't let me do this or that. What can I do?"

"You know perfectly well that I wasn't really serious just now!"

What woman doesn't like surprises? Mu Xiaoyu used to think that Li Chenxu was very clueless when it came to matters of the heart, otherwise they wouldn't have wasted so many years together. Although she was partly to blame back then, things would have been a little better if Li Chenxu had changed his stubborn temper a little.

But what Li Chenxu did later completely overturned her previous ideas. The current Li Chenxu was practically a master at pleasing women. If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't known Li Chenxu's daily schedule and that he was with her almost every day, she would have even suspected that Li Chenxu was doing the same thing with other women.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed Li Chenxu's clothes with one hand and said before Li Chenxu could speak, "Just this once, you can't say such things again!"

Such a request could be described as somewhat domineering, but Li Chenxu seemed to fall for it. Upon hearing this, he not only showed no dissatisfaction, but his eyes even showed more doting and joy.

Bai Luo and Song Yin, who woke up midway, pretended to be asleep and watched Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu showing affection. The two of them probably didn't realize it, but Bai Luo and Song Yin, as onlookers, could see it clearly.

The sweet atmosphere between the two, almost radiating pink bubbles, was nearly blinding.

Although Mu Xiaoyu used to be gentle and kind in front of them, they could all see that she was actually a very strong person at heart.

But who is this person who acts like a charming young girl in front of them now?
