The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 92 You actually questioned me

Chapter 92 You actually questioned me

Assistant Lin regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. Just a moment ago, he had been reminding himself to do his duty as a subordinate and not to pay too much attention to his boss's private life. Who knew that the next second, he would blurt those words out without thinking?

Assistant Lin was filled with regret and quickly looked at Mu Xiaoyu, fearing that the other party would be angry and blame him.

However, for some reason, Mu Xiaoyu didn't even glance at Assistant Lin. It was unclear whether she had even heard what Assistant Lin had just said; she seemed completely lost in thought.

Assistant Lin's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Mu Xiaoyu might be overthinking things, so he quickly added, "I was just saying that casually. Madam, you can keep your own thoughts to yourself. Just pretend I didn't say anything..."

"You're right."

Before Assistant Lin could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu interrupted him. She had already returned to her usual demeanor, glancing at Assistant Lin with a calm expression before lowering her eyes and saying indifferently, "Go pack your things. I want to go back as soon as possible."

What she just said wasn't just empty words to save face; it was her true feeling.

The things Assistant Lin said were actually things she had thought about before. During the time she reconciled with Li Chenxu, she had also thought about how she would handle it if she had any conflicts with Li Chenxu again.

She had considered taking the initiative to reconcile with Li Chenxu. She even wanted to eliminate that possibility whenever the two had a conflict.

However, when the time actually came, it was far from as easy as she had imagined.

Ultimately, it's pride that's at play.

Assistant Lin had already made a slip of the tongue, so even though Mu Xiaoyu hadn't said anything yet, he didn't dare to say anything more. After obediently tidying up the previous documents, Mu Xiaoyu returned to the villa.

Mu Xiaoyu was discharged from the hospital relatively early, and it wasn't even noon when she got back. The villa had been cleaned very thoroughly. The large bloodstains left when Mu Xiaoyu was stabbed by Chen Lan had long been cleaned up, and everything looked no different from before.

The only thing that changed... was the maids and bodyguards inside the villa.

When she first returned, Mu Xiaoyu was still a little unsure, thinking that only a few individuals had been replaced, since similar situations had occurred before. However, when she entered the villa and saw the people inside, she immediately realized that it wasn't just a few individuals who had been replaced, but all the bodyguards and servants in the villa had been replaced.

Aside from the bodyguards outside, there were many servants inside the villa who had taken care of Mu Xiaoyu for so long, and they all had some affection for her.

Now that everyone from before is gone, it's impossible for Mu Xiaoyu to remain unmoved.

She frowned and looked at her assistant, Lin, beside her, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are the people from before? Why have they all been replaced?"

"The master said that they didn't take good care of his wife, so naturally the replacement had to be made."

Mu Xiaoyu pursed her lips and remained silent upon hearing this. She had more or less guessed what was going on, but when she actually heard these words, she felt uneasy.

This matter clearly has nothing to do with the maids from before. Even if Li Chenxu were present, he probably wouldn't have expected Chen Lan to be so bold.

Even if they made a mistake, it wasn't a big one, and there was absolutely no need to fire them all.

More importantly, given Li Chenxu's personality, it's definitely not as simple as just firing them...

Mu Xiaoyu felt exhausted. She knew Li Chenxu was doing this for her own good, but the way he handled it was making her very tired. She wanted to call Li Chenxu to plead for the maids, but then she remembered that the two of them were currently in a cold war, and Li Chenxu might not answer her calls now.

The maid's situation was making Mu Xiaoyu a little upset, so she didn't say anything more to Assistant Lin. After thanking him, she went back to her room to rest.

The new maids clearly knew what had happened before. Even though Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, they still did their jobs very carefully. They treated Mu Xiaoyu as if she were a fragile object, being extremely cautious, for fear of doing something wrong and upsetting her or hurting her.

They all knew very well what had happened to the maids before.

Mu Xiaoyu has missed several days of work. She originally thought that work would allow her to temporarily forget her troubles, but who knew that she could sit in the study for almost an hour and not be able to draw anything at all. Her mind was full of thoughts about her and Li Chenxu.

This situation continued until Li Chenxu returned in the evening. He hadn't said a word when he left yesterday, and he hadn't reacted at all even when Mu Xiaoyu was discharged from the hospital today.

Mu Xiaoyu always thought that Li Chenxu wouldn't come back, at least... he wouldn't be able to have dinner with Mu Xiaoyu every day like before, no matter how busy he was.

But now Li Chenxu is back, and he's even sitting at the same table with Mu Xiaoyu for dinner. Even though they still don't say a word to each other, it's much better than yesterday.

Looking at Li Chenxu sitting across from her, silently eating his dinner, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't understand what Li Chenxu was thinking, or whether he had gotten over his anger.

But she knew very well that she didn't want the atmosphere between them to remain so oppressive.

So Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, opened her mouth, and said calmly, "The servants at home..."

"What happened to them?"

Before Mu Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted her. As he spoke, he looked up at Mu Xiaoyu, his gaze cold and sharp, causing Mu Xiaoyu to swallow the words she was about to say. The words she uttered next were completely thoughtless.

"Why did you take them away? And if I'm not mistaken, did you do something else to them? You know very well that this matter has little to do with them; they were just implicated."

Mu Xiaoyu felt as if she had been split into two people: one with a perfectly clear mind, and the other with a confused and muddled state, completely unaware of what she was thinking.

The one with a clear mind watches helplessly as the one with a muddled mind utters hurtful words.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Xiaoyu dangerously. After a while, for some reason, he suddenly chuckled. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of mockery and said, word by word, "I didn't expect that you would question me about something like this."
