Chapter 732: Little Fairy
Li Chenxu's sudden apology was quite inexplicable, leaving Mu Xiaoyu completely bewildered. Could it be that Li Chenxu had secretly done something she didn't like?
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze towards Li Chenxu instantly turned serious.
She looked Li Chenxu up and down, then stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze before slowly asking, "What did you do wrong?"
"Um... the mistake was, the mistake was..."
Li Chenxu immediately started stammering, not because he was unwilling to speak, but because he genuinely didn't know where he had gone wrong.
However, in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, this appearance was like that of a guilty thief, and instantly, the expression on Mu Xiaoyu's face changed.
She squinted at Li Chenxu with a half-smile and said, "Fine, I was just reminiscing about our old days, but I didn't expect you to do something wrong again!"
"You're saying you were reminiscing about the past, not blaming me for doing something wrong?"
Li Chenxu was a smart man, and he understood immediately from Mu Xiaoyu's tone.
He looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, his face full of helplessness.
Mu Xiaoyu, unaware of Li Chenxu's thoughts, looked at his bewildered expression and asked, "Yeah, what else could it be? But you, stop trying to distract me. Tell me honestly, have you been hiding something from me again?"
"No, I swear, I really didn't. I noticed that the way you looked at me was different than before, and I thought I had unintentionally upset you again, so I took the initiative to apologize first."
"Li Chenxu, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you. You know, I've been with you these past few days, almost inseparable. How could I have time to do anything else?"
"Then why did you admit your mistake just now?"
Mu Xiaoyu still felt something was off and wasn't so quick to believe Li Chenxu's words.
"It's because of the way you looked at me just now..."
Li Chenxu spoke these words cautiously. It wasn't that he was afraid of Mu Xiaoyu, but he just didn't want to upset her. He had done his research beforehand and made it very clear that at Mu Xiaoyu's current stage, she needed to be coaxed and pampered, and her emotions shouldn't fluctuate too much, otherwise it would be bad for her health.
"So that's how it is... It seems that in your mind, I am the image of a tigress."
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but become petty. She used to be someone who didn't like to fuss, but now she didn't know why, she had become extremely petty about even the smallest things.
To put it simply, she's incredibly pretentious. Luckily, Li Chenxu spoils her and lets her do as she pleases in many things.
If it were any other man, he probably wouldn't have asked her to come back.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze toward Li Chenxu became even more mournful.
The more she acted this way, the more careful Li Chenxu became.
Seeing that she didn't seem really angry, Li Chenxu mustered up his courage, hugged her, kissed her forehead affectionately, and said in a coaxing tone, "Okay, it's a misunderstanding. I won't do it again next time. Don't overthink it. In my heart, you're a little fairy, how could you be a tigress?"
"Little fairy? How dare you say such a thing?"
Mu Xiaoyu kept repeating the words "little fairy," and although she was complaining, she was actually overjoyed inside.
She's probably really spoiled by Li Chenxu. Things she used to find cloying and mushy now seem more and more appealing to her. Not only that, she even craves the feeling of Li Chenxu pampering her like this.
"Why are you embarrassed? My wife is beautiful and cute, what else could she be but a fairy?"
Every time Li Chenxu praised Mu Xiaoyu, he held nothing back, praising her in every way possible, until Mu Xiaoyu felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, the two didn't linger for long this time. Mu Xiaoyu was still thinking about painting, and soon she got back to work.
Once Mu Xiaoyu got into work mode, her mood seemed much better than before, especially the way she slightly furrowed her brows, which was exactly the same as before.
Li Chenxu sat on the sofa in the study, observing Mu Xiaoyu's work with an impassive expression.
When he brought Mu Xiaoyu home, he consulted a psychologist.
Having experienced such trauma, Mu Xiaoyu will not recover quickly. Besides needing Li Chenxu's company, she needs other methods to guide her.
Before this, Li Chenxu was still thinking about what method he could use to help Mu Xiaoyu get out of this gloom.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu working so diligently, he finally felt he had found the right person.
It seems that Mu Xiaoyu needs to go out to work occasionally. If he keeps staying at home with Mu Xiaoyu like this, it won't achieve the desired effect.
When Mu Xiaoyu is focused on her work, she hardly pays attention to her surroundings.
She had been sitting at her desk for hours without much rest. If Li Chenxu hadn't been worried about her being exhausted, she probably wouldn't have rested until late at night.
"Okay, take a break first. You're not feeling well right now, so you can't work for such a long time. Once you've recovered, you can be as busy as you want, and I won't stop you."
"Wait, I'll finish this storyboard and then take a break..."
"No, listen to me. You can draw this later. You've already missed so many days, so it won't matter if you miss another day or two."
Li Chenxu was rarely this strict. Although he usually indulged her in everything, big or small, he was anything but lenient when it came to her health.
Mu Xiaoyu understood this, so she pouted and obediently put down her paintbrush.
She reached out to Li Chenxu and said with dissatisfaction, "Hug me."
Li Chenxu obediently picked up Mu Xiaoyu as instructed, and kissed her soft cheek at the end, asking her with a smile, "Are you angry?"
"No, am I such a petty person?"
He said that, but the expression on his face clearly said it all.
Hearing this, Li Chenxu's smile deepened. As he carried Mu Xiaoyu downstairs, he said, "Of course you're not that petty, but I feel bad about it. How about this, after we finish eating, I'll take you somewhere as compensation?"
"No, I don't want to go out."
Without a second thought, Mu Xiaoyu refused outright. The hurt Chen Lan and the others had caused her was immense; no matter how much she tried to ignore it, it had left a deep shadow in her heart. She now strongly resisted going out, and the mere mention of it made her immediately unhappy.
