Chapter 165 Drunkenness
Standing outside the building, Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath and walked into the building. After Li Chenxu reprimanded the female employee who disrespected Mu Xiaoyu in front of everyone in the company, everyone in the Li Group knew about Mu Xiaoyu. Now, whenever Mu Xiaoyu comes, there is no obstruction, and almost everyone treats her with utmost respect.
But this time, just as Mu Xiaoyu was about to get on the elevator to find Li Chenxu, she was stopped by someone.
"Madam, the master said that you cannot go in today."
Li Chenxu had clearly given specific instructions to his subordinates, and the receptionist who was currently blocking the way looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a troubled expression. Although Li Chenxu had instructed them not to let Mu Xiaoyu in, they still dared not offend her.
Every couple has conflicts. No matter how fierce the argument is at the time, things will be fine again after the conflict passes.
If they offend someone now, they'll be the ones who suffer in the end once the two make up.
Mu Xiaoyu clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Looking at the receptionist blocking her way, her beautiful eyes instantly dimmed. She gave a bitter laugh and said to the person in front of her, "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you'll be the one causing trouble for her later."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, the receptionist was so excited she almost knelt down before him. Her biggest fear was that Mu Xiaoyu would force her way in, but now that he understood her so well, Mu Xiaoyu's image in her heart soared. In the end, seeing the forlorn and heartbroken look in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Madam, is there anything you'd like to say to your husband? May I convey it to him for you?"
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head. Some things are meaningless to say if they aren't said face-to-face. Besides, no matter how much she and Li Chenxu argued or had a cold war, Li Chenxu would always come home. She didn't believe that Li Chenxu would be so angry that he wouldn't even come home.
With that thought in mind, Mu Xiaoyu stopped talking to the receptionist and went straight home.
After returning home, she completed some more drawings and then dressed herself up carefully, waiting for Li Chenxu to come back.
This won't work; one of them has to back down first. Since Li Chenxu has always been the one making concessions in the past, she's willing to take the initiative and compromise this time as well.
Mu Xiaoyu was convinced that Li Chenxu would come home no matter how angry he was, but she waited from afternoon until almost 10 p.m. and still didn't see him return.
Both she and Li Chenxu had sensitive stomachs, but after they reconciled, they took good care of their diets and underwent simple dietary changes, so their stomachs were much better than before.
Even though it's better than before, the stomach problem still can't be completely cured. Mu Xiaoyu didn't eat dinner while waiting for Li Chenxu to come back, and now, several hours past dinner time, she's still hungry, and her stomach is starting to hurt.
"Madam, why don't you eat something first..."
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's pale face from the pain, the maid standing nearby couldn't bear to speak up and offer advice.
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head. If she hadn't been in pain, she could have eaten a little, but now her stomach was hurting so badly that she couldn't eat anything at all.
She clutched her stomach, glanced with some difficulty at the wall clock, and let out a self-deprecating chuckle. It would be eleven o'clock in half an hour; in Mu Xiaoyu's memory, Li Chenxu had almost never come home this late.
I don't know if she really angered him this time, or if she's no longer as important to Li Chenxu as she used to be...
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind, until finally, the self-deprecating smile on her lips deepened.
The maid standing next to Mu Xiaoyu noticed that Mu Xiaoyu's appearance was becoming increasingly strange, especially when she saw Mu Xiaoyu still smiling even in this state of pain. She immediately got goosebumps and, without thinking, quickly hid to the side and called Assistant Lin.
These people couldn't contact Li Chenxu directly, but just in case, they still had Assistant Lin's phone number.
Even though Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu are currently in a cold war, Li Chenxu's concern for Mu Xiaoyu before was genuine. If something happens to Mu Xiaoyu and they fail to take care of her and inform her in time, then it will be all over!
After receiving the call, Assistant Lin immediately reported it to Li Chenxu, who was at a bar drinking with Liang Yi at the time. This was the first time the two had met up since they last drank together.
Although so much time has passed since the last incident, Liang Yike still vividly remembers what happened. Not long after that, Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu reconciled, and he was always amazed to see the smile on Li Chenxu's face.
He had never paid any attention to Mu Xiaoyu before, after all, Mu Xiaoyu's background and her sudden marriage with Li Chenxu made him dislike her.
But since that incident, his thoughts have changed slightly, especially now that Mu Xiaoyu's career is thriving, which has made him look at her with new respect.
Seeing Li Chenxu silently drinking alone beside her, she couldn't help but advise, "Chenxu, why don't you go back? Judging from what Assistant Lin just said, your partner seems a bit off..."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, and it was unclear how much he had drunk before. His usually calm and composed eyes were now misty with tears. It took him a while to react to Liang Yi's words.
He didn't speak, but his hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened. Even in the dim light, the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible, showing just how much force he was using.
"She doesn't need my concern."
Liang Yi thought Li Chenxu would listen to advice and go back, but who knew that after waiting for a long time, this was the result he got.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yi was speechless. It was true that Li Chenxu's temper seemed to have improved a lot since he and Mu Xiaoyu reconciled, but... his stubbornness hadn't changed at all.
Fearing that Li Chenxu would regret it after sobering up, Liang Yi quickly snatched the wine glass from Li Chenxu's hand. While talking to Li Chenxu, he also gave Assistant Lin a wink, signaling the other party to quickly help Li Chenxu back.
“Hey Shen Xu, don’t say I’m not loyal. To prevent you from waking up later, you should go back now, so that the conflict between you and Mu Xiaoyu doesn’t get worse.”
