Chapter 18: This is the only way I can be treated.
A man like Li Chenxu wouldn't pay much attention to his appearance. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu staring at him intently, he assumed she was upset that he had interrupted her conversation with the servants.
He sighed helplessly and softened his tone, saying, "I will try to be gentler with them in the future."
Li Chenxu's words brought Mu Xiaoyu back to her senses instantly. It was unclear what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking, but she shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this. Just a moment ago she was complaining, and the next second she had changed her mind.
Even Li Chenxu was unsure what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking.
"You should just stay the way you were before."
Why are you suddenly saying this?
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu did not immediately answer Li Chenxu. Even she herself found it hard to believe what she had just said. Li Chenxu was simply too handsome; although the servants in the villa were afraid of him, it wasn't hard to tell that they also liked him.
They still like Li Chenxu even though he usually has a stern face. If he suddenly becomes nicer to them, who knows how many more people will like him then. If it's like this at home, it goes without saying that all those other women outside will like him too.
"what happened?"
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was just biting her lip, looking conflicted but not saying anything, Li Chenxu asked again.
Now, when facing Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu is much more patient and no longer has the cold face he used to.
"If you smile at them, then... more people will like you. I'm your wife, you can only treat me like this."
Although she had been reborn and become much more assertive in many ways, Mu Xiaoyu still felt a little embarrassed to say such things. As she finished speaking, her face flushed red. She lowered her head, too ashamed to even look at Li Chenxu, afraid that her words would upset him again.
Li Chenxu never expected this to be the reason. Even though he had experienced many ups and downs, he was still stunned.
But it was only for a moment; the next instant, Li Chenxu burst out laughing. Unlike his usual light laughter, this time Li Chenxu's voice was much louder, filled with an indescribable joy, hardly resembling anger.
He reached out and gently ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair, smiling as he said, "Okay, I'll do as you say, only for you."
His words, tinged with affection, made Mu Xiaoyu blush even more. She felt something was strange; she and Li Chenxu had been married for so long, and he had never been so gentle and doting towards her before. Why was he suddenly acting like this…?
Mu Xiaoyu racked her brains but couldn't figure it out, but that wasn't important to her. What mattered most was that her relationship with Li Chenxu was getting better and better, and that was the most important thing.
Li Chenxu had a video conference to attend that evening, so he didn't chat with Mu Xiaoyu for long. After dinner, he went to the study to hold the video conference.
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu had planned to talk to Li Chenxu about going to Haoting at the dinner table, but she didn't have the courage to bring it up since she had finally managed to get along with Li Chenxu to such a good relationship.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Li Chenxu, but she didn't want to break the peace that the two of them had finally achieved.
However, Mu Xiaoyu could escape this matter for a while, but not forever. After all, no matter what, Wu Qianru's matter had to be resolved.
So, an hour after dinner, Mu Xiaoyu had someone prepare a late-night snack and personally delivered it to Li Chenxu.
It had been more than an hour since dinner ended. Mu Xiaoyu had assumed the video conference had ended long ago, so she simply opened the door and went in.
When they entered, they found Li Chenxu still talking to his computer screen. Li Chenxu, working, was once again the stern and unsmiling CEO, so serious it was almost frightening.
Fortunately, after returning home, he changed out of his formal attire and into a cozy set of home clothes, which made him appear more gentle and approachable, and therefore less frightening.
Noticing Mu Xiaoyu's arrival, Li Chenxu subconsciously looked in her direction. When his gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyu's fair face, a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.
The smile was actually quite subtle, but Li Chenxu rarely smiled, so it was very noticeable. At that moment, Mu Xiaoyu clearly heard a gasp from the screen. It was as if even the employees who were having a meeting with Li Chenxu never imagined that their big boss would one day show such a gentle side.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if her heart was filled with something warm and cozy, her whole heart feeling warm and cozy. She walked quietly to Li Chenxu's side, placed the late-night snack she was holding on the table, and then, from an angle out of sight on the other side of the screen, whispered to Li Chenxu, "You go ahead and work, I won't bother you anymore. Remember to eat your late-night snack, I'll go out now."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu turned to leave. But at that moment, Li Chenxu suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
"Go play on the sofa for a while, I'll be done here soon."
Her tone was unbelievably gentle, completely unlike the stern and unsmiling boss she usually was. The employees on the screen were filled with a burning curiosity, wishing they could jump out of the screen and see for themselves which woman could make their boss so gentle.
Almost no one expected the woman to be Mu Xiaoyu, given that everyone in their circle knew about the discord between Li Chenxu and his wife. The two had been married for so long, and aside from the last banquet, they had almost never appeared together at the same event.
It was no secret that the two were having marital problems.
However, they were quickly proven wrong. Just as the meeting ended and Li Chenxu was about to turn off the video, Mu Xiaoyu's face appeared on the screen. That delicate face, without any retouching, was still excessively beautiful. Who else could it be but Mu Xiaoyu?!
Everyone was shocked and wanted to take a closer look, but the screen went black.
"I feel like there's something strange about the people in your company."
"strange?"
Li Chenxu never cared about the gossip of his employees, so he naturally didn't know what they were thinking. When he heard Mu Xiaoyu say this, he thought for a moment and said, "Next time, come with me to the company. You've never been before, so the people in the company probably don't recognize you."
He had his own plans. Previously, people in the industry only knew he was married, but most didn't know who his wife was. Now that Mu Xiaoyu had decided to stay with him, he should let everyone know that Mu Xiaoyu was his wife.
In that case, when he's not around, those people won't dare to make any moves against Mu Xiaoyu!
