The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 136 Long Time No See

Chapter 136 Long Time No See

Actually, Mu Xiaoyu didn't think she was anything special. She had just done some very ordinary things, yet Bai Luo liked her so much. That feeling was truly indescribable, but Mu Xiaoyu knew she really liked it.

Seeing Bai Luo's trembling hands with excitement, Mu Xiaoyu's smile deepened. She couldn't help but gently pinch Bai Luo's cheek twice, saying helplessly, "I'm not as good as you think, it's just a comic book. How about I give you all my comics first when they're published in the future?"

"Really?"

The series of surprises had left Bai Luo so excited she didn't know what to say. If they weren't in a public place, she might have jumped for joy. Especially when she saw Mu Xiaoyu nod with a smile, her fair face instantly turned red.

She quickly put the sample comic book into her bag, then grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said happily, "Sister Xiaoyu, you have no idea how happy I am right now."

Mu Xiaoyu had never been a fan of any celebrity. Although she liked Song Yin, she wasn't as obsessed as Bai Luo. But seeing Bai Luo's happy expression, she felt as if she was infected by his joy.

Fearing that Bai Luo would get too excited, Mu Xiaoyu didn't continue on that topic. Instead, she changed the subject and talked to Bai Luo about the comics.

Although Bai Luo acted like a little girl in what happened earlier, when it came to professional matters, her whole demeanor and aura changed, becoming very mature and professional. No matter what she said to Mu Xiaoyu, she had her own independent insights.

A girl like this could never come from an ordinary family.

However, in Mu Xiaoyu's memory, there was no family with the surname Bai in the circle...

Mu Xiaoyu had initially considered asking Bai Luo, but fearing Bai Luo might suspect she had ulterior motives, she abandoned the idea. Because they hadn't left early and had so much in common, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they finished dinner.

"Lolo, where do you live? I'll take you home first."

Mu Xiaoyu was brought by her family's driver, so it wasn't a problem for her to go home alone at night with someone by her side. But Bai Luo was such a young girl, and she was really worried about her going home so late.

Bai Luo also wanted to stay with Mu Xiaoyu a little longer, but her grandfather was still waiting for her. So when she heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, Bai Luo could only shake her head and say with some regret, "No need, Sister Xiaoyu, my grandfather is still waiting for me over there. I can go back by myself."

As Bai Luo spoke, he pointed to a black car in the square. The lights there were brighter, and Mu Xiaoyu looked in the direction Bai Luo was pointing, where she could see an old man sitting inside the car.

The face seemed somewhat familiar, as if I'd seen it somewhere before...

Before she could think any further, Bai Luo, as if it were time to leave, hurriedly said to Mu Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm running out of time, I have to go now. Be careful on your way home, we'll keep in touch by phone!"

After saying that, Bai Luo waved to Mu Xiaoyu and then jogged towards the car.

Although she is a few years younger than Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Luo is already an adult in her early twenties, but her every move is like that of a child. However, she is not childish at all, but rather reveals a bit of cuteness.

Mu Xiaoyu smiled and watched Bai Luo get into the car before getting in her own car and going home.

While having dinner with Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu received a text message from Li Chenxu saying he would be home late. Mu Xiaoyu originally thought Li Chenxu wouldn't be back until 11 or 12 at night, but when she got back, Li Chenxu was already home.

Mu Xiaoyu always moved very quietly, and when she returned home, she closed the door and made very little noise, so Li Chenxu, who was on the phone, did not notice that Mu Xiaoyu had returned.

Unlike his gentle and warm demeanor in front of Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu was expressionless at this moment. His tone was calm on the surface, but a closer listen revealed a chilling aura. His entire being exuded an indifference that kept people at a distance, making him look frightening.

Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen Li Chenxu like this in a long time. She had originally planned to tease Li Chenxu, but after seeing him like this, she hesitated.

Meanwhile, Li Chenxu was on the phone with someone and still hadn't noticed that Mu Xiaoyu had returned. Moreover, it was unclear what was being said on the other end of the line, but Li Chenxu's expression was visibly growing increasingly grim…

"So he really is out...! I told you to keep an eye on him, and now that he's been out for so long, you're only just now getting to the bottom of this..."

Li Chenxu was burning with anger, but he only got halfway through his sentence when he suddenly caught sight of Mu Xiaoyu standing there with a hesitant expression. He immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice to the person on the other end of the phone, "Keep an eye on him for now and try to get his DNA."

After saying that, Li Chenxu hung up the phone and walked towards Mu Xiaoyu. It was clear that Li Chenxu's emotions were still quite turbulent. However, because he was in front of Mu Xiaoyu, he restrained his emotions and didn't want to frighten her with his terrifying appearance.

"When did you get back? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Li Chenxu had already walked up to Mu Xiaoyu, speaking in a gentle tone, a stark contrast to his gloomy expression just moments before.

Actually, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of Li Chenxu. She knew that Li Chenxu was a different person when he was with her and others. It was just that she hadn't seen Li Chenxu like this in a long time, so she was a little dazed.

Hearing Li Chenxu's question, she immediately snapped out of her reverie and gave him a very faint smile, saying, "I just got back. I didn't want to bother you since you were on the phone... Who were you talking to? You didn't look too good..."

Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately, clearly hesitating about something. After a while, just when Mu Xiaoyu thought Li Chenxu would not answer, he suddenly spoke up: "It's nothing, just work-related matters, don't worry."

At this point, Li Chenxu lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips, smiling as he said, "After all, things at work can't always go smoothly. I don't want to bring work-related worries home. My Xiaoyu's happiness is the most important thing, isn't it?"
