Chapter 197 Taking the Initiative to Admit Mistakes
Mu Xiaoyu's phone was stolen yesterday, and she went straight home with Li Chenxu last night without having time to get a replacement. So, before going to Li Chenxu's company, Mu Xiaoyu bought a new phone.
She had originally planned to get a replacement SIM card, but then she thought that Mu Pengzheng might know about the previous phone number, so she got a new one instead. After everything was settled, Mu Xiaoyu went to Li Chenxu's company.
When she arrived, it was still early, and the employees at Li's had only just started work. Although she hadn't been to Li's many times, she had still been there quite a few times. Everyone in the company knew her status in Li Chenxu's heart, so when she arrived, the receptionist let Mu Xiaoyu directly into Li Chenxu's office without even making an appointment.
Mu Xiaoyu wanted to give Li Chenxu a surprise, so when she opened the office door, she was very careful and didn't make a sound.
However, as soon as the office door opened, she saw a pair of straight legs standing in front of her. The black suit pants were so perfectly pressed that there wasn't a single wrinkle. Even without looking, Mu Xiaoyu knew who the legs belonged to.
She looked up at Li Chenxu in front of her. He was looking down at her with a slight frown on his brow, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Li Chenxu's appearance instantly shut down the apology Mu Xiaoyu had prepared.
She straightened up, looked at Li Chenxu blankly, and said softly, "What are you doing here?"
"You were getting ready for a meeting, why did you come over?"
At this moment, Li Chenxu's expression was much better, and he seemed to speak to Mu Xiaoyu as usual.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little relieved. Hearing this, she cautiously reached out and hooked her finger around Li Chenxu's, saying, "I just wanted to come and see you... I was afraid you'd be unhappy, and there are some things I wanted to tell you..."
"What?"
Li Chenxu raised an eyebrow, watching Mu Xiaoyu's cautious demeanor. On the surface, she remained calm, but inside, she was completely melted. He was indeed somewhat angry, but not about Mu Xiaoyu's unwillingness to have children; rather, it was about Song Bai.
He knew far more about Song Bai's feelings for Mu Xiaoyu than Mu Xiaoyu herself did. Now that the guy was back, he refused to believe that Song Bai wouldn't take any action.
That's one thing, but the real issue is that Mu Xiaoyu still has contact with Song Bai, and Song Yin is Song Bai's sister.
Rather than being angry at Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu was more angry at himself.
"I just want to tell you, please don't worry about Song Bai, okay? If he hadn't suddenly appeared that day, I would have almost forgotten about him... And I promise you, I will never meet with Song Bai in private. Can you please calm down?"
Since the two reconciled, Mu Xiaoyu's temper has improved considerably when she's with Li Chenxu. But even so, deep down she's just like Li Chenxu—not exactly a person with a very good temper.
And with a touch of pride, it would have been virtually impossible for her to put aside her pride and coax people like this in the past.
Li Chenxu understood this as well. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's attempt to please him, he couldn't keep a straight face. So he reached out and hooked Mu Xiaoyu's chin, forcing her to look up at him. With those bright eyes, he lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips.
The feather-like kiss lasted only a few seconds before their lips parted.
"You said it yourself, if you meet with Song Bai alone, then..."
"Absolutely not!"
Before Li Chenxu could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu hurriedly interrupted him, holding up a few fingers as if making a vow, looking incredibly cute.
Li Chenxu was satisfied with Mu Xiaoyu's current attitude, so he didn't press her any further. He released Mu Xiaoyu's chin and said, "Then I'll trust you this once... I have a meeting to attend right now. You can sit in the office for a while. If you need anything, just ask the assistant outside the office."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly, her obedient appearance making Li Chenxu like her even more.
He said no more, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he left the office and headed towards the conference room.
As soon as Li Chenxu left, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a huge sigh of relief. She had actually wanted to tell Li Chenxu about the class reunion, but seeing his expression, she didn't dare to say it for some reason.
Moreover, she had a feeling that if she told him, Li Chenxu wouldn't let her go.
No matter what, they were classmates. If what Song Bai said at that time was true, and there were even her book fans among them, it would be unreasonable for her not to go.
Furthermore, with so many people at the class reunion, she wouldn't have any private contact with Song Bai. So, in that case, she didn't break the promise she made to Li Chenxu, right?
Mu Xiaoyu kept reassuring herself, and it took a while for her to gradually calm down her tense heart.
She didn't sleep well last night. She lay on the sofa in the office for a while and then drifted off to sleep. When she woke up again, it was Li Chenxu who woke her up.
Mu Xiaoyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at Li Chenxu in front of her with a blurry gaze, and mumbled, "What's wrong? Are you off work yet?"
"It's lunchtime, let's go out for lunch, what would you like to eat?"
As Li Chenxu spoke, he took out a wet wipe and wiped Mu Xiaoyu's face. His movements were gentle and meticulous, without any of the roughness of a man. The cool touch combined with the gentle technique quickly brought Mu Xiaoyu back to her senses.
"Let's have some nourishing hot pot; I haven't had much of an appetite these days."
As soon as she regained consciousness, Mu Xiaoyu immediately hugged Li Chenxu, nuzzled against his chest, and looked at him with obvious dependence.
Her actions pleased Li Chenxu greatly. He stroked Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair with satisfaction and then said, "Okay, then let's eat that. Let's go now... If you don't get up, do you want me to carry you downstairs?"
As Li Chenxu spoke, he tried to pick Mu Xiaoyu up. Mu Xiaoyu could be affectionate with Li Chenxu, but she would feel embarrassed to be affectionate with others.
So in a flash, it slipped out of Li Chenxu's arms and ran faster than a rabbit.
Li Chenxu had to go on an inspection tour in the afternoon, so he didn't have much time to rest at noon. After having lunch with Mu Xiaoyu, he took her home and then left to handle work matters.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't done much drawing these past few days, so she focused on drawing at home in the afternoon. However, she hadn't been drawing for long when Song Bai called again.
