What did Chapter 249 just say?
Strictly speaking, this was the first time Mu Xiaoyu's friends and Li Chenxu's friends had gathered together. Their wedding was far too rushed, and since Mu Xiaoyu had always been reluctant to marry Li Chenxu, she naturally didn't care much about the wedding that year.
But now, things are different.
After lunch, Mu Xiaoyu rummaged through the clothes in her closet, and after nearly an hour, she finally found two or three pieces. Pointing to the clothes on the bed, she asked Li Chenxu, who was organizing documents, "Which one do you think I should wear? Today is just a casual gathering with friends, so I can dress a little more casually."
"Wear whichever one you like."
Li Chenxu didn't even lift his eyelids, replying directly upon hearing the question. Compared to most men, Li Chenxu had actually been quite attentive to Mu Xiaoyu. Even if he wasn't interested in the things Mu Xiaoyu liked, he would actively try to find out. While he wouldn't say he knew everything, he was generally aware of most of Mu Xiaoyu's interests.
But the only thing I still can't understand is that tonight was just a regular dinner with friends, or to be more precise, just a casual meal, yet Mu Xiaoyu was even more picky about clothes than usual.
Mu Xiaoyu was immediately dissatisfied with Li Chenxu's attitude. She reached out and took the things from Li Chenxu's hands, saying with a dissatisfied look, "How can you be so perfunctory with me? I'm serious! You have to tidy up properly tonight, after all, your friends are coming too. If you just tidy up casually, they will definitely have something to say."
"What do you mean? They won't care about your clothes."
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with some confusion and surprise.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak immediately this time. She glanced at Li Chenxu and muttered softly, "Your friends don't like me. Now that we finally have a chance to get together, I definitely want to change their impression of me. I don't want them to accept me all at once, but at least they shouldn't hate me like before."
Mu Xiaoyu's explanation made Li Chenxu immediately understand what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking. Suddenly, he felt a mix of emotions, and guilt filled his heart.
Before the two reconciled, Li Chenxu's biggest concern was preventing Mu Xiaoyu from leaving him. Therefore, he paid little attention to what his friends and family thought of Mu Xiaoyu.
After all, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't willing to stay by his side, so why should he care about other people's attitudes at that time?
If he had taken even a little action back then, the situation might be a bit better than it is now.
"I'm sorry, it was me..."
"Why are you apologizing to me? This wasn't your fault in the first place. They have a problem with me because of my past actions. Secondly, it's because they lack judgment and think I'm bad. Anyway, their dislike for me has nothing to do with you."
Mu Xiaoyu is now much more optimistic about things than before, something she would never have said before.
The words she uttered at that moment surprised not only Li Chenxu, but even herself.
However, that surprise only lasted for a second or two. The next second, Mu Xiaoyu laughed out loud: "So this is what I've become now..."
These words sounded like a soliloquy, yet also like they were being spoken to Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu did not speak upon hearing this, but a gentle smile appeared on his seemingly indifferent face. It was faint, but the happiness in his eyes could not be concealed.
In preparation for the evening's BBQ, Li Chenxu left all his afternoon work at home. After discussing what clothes to wear with Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu also spent the afternoon in the study working on her manuscript.
Although she hasn't signed a new contract with SQ yet, and SQ hasn't given her a detailed plan for next year, she still has to do her best to complete this comic. After all, it's her hard work, and she can't let down the readers who like her and this comic.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Xiaoyu was so focused that she didn't notice the time until the maid knocked on the door and said that Bai Luo and the others had arrived. Only then did she realize that it was almost evening.
Mu Xiaoyu stretched and then went downstairs.
Bai Luo and Song Yin came together, and the two were chatting about gossip in the entertainment industry. Bai Luo doesn't usually come into contact with this circle, and when she heard Song Yin talking about the gossip, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.
"Really? Didn't they say she wasn't married? She already has a child?"
"Of course it's true. How could it be fake? It's not just her; there are many celebrities in the industry who are secretly married. You're too naive. There are so many things in the entertainment industry that are true or false. Don't believe everything you see on TV or in the newspapers."
After Song Yin finished speaking, she saw Mu Xiaoyu coming downstairs and quickly waved to her, saying, "Xiaoyu, come down quickly. I'm telling Luoluo some gossip from the industry. Come and listen too."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu looked at Song Yin and the others with a helpless expression and said, "Why did you even tell Luo Luo these things?"
"Why can't I say this? You don't know, Bai Luo just wanted me to get Zhuo Xing's autographed photo. Who is Zhuo Xing? He looks like a refined gentleman on TV, but in reality, his life is a complete mess."
When the topic turned to certain people in the industry, Song Yin's face was filled with disdain. In all her years in the business, aside from the first year or two when she had a fleeting crush on some male stars, she hadn't had any since.
Seeing Bai Luo's budding affection, she didn't want the girl to get hurt, so she told Bai Luo about what was going on in the industry.
They had only exchanged a few words when Mu Xiaoyu came down.
Upon hearing Song Yin's words, Mu Xiaoyu became interested as well. She quickly walked over and sat down next to Song Yin and Bai Luo, her face full of gossip, and asked, "That Zhuo Xing is quite good-looking, how come his private life is so messy..."
So when Li Chenxu finished what he was doing and went downstairs, he saw a group of women discussing gossip about the entertainment industry. Of course, they weren't just gossiping; they were also discussing which celebrities were good-looking and which had great figures.
Seemingly not expecting Li Chenxu to come down so quickly, they discussed without any restraint, and Li Chenxu heard their conversation when he was at the bottom of the stairs.
