Chapter 491: I didn't eat the food she cooked.
She's completely lying through her teeth. She and Song Yin both drove themselves here today. Even if she didn't, do you think Song Yin didn't?
Looking at Song Yin again, she was nowhere to be seen.
Ningning looked like she wanted to refuse, but when she saw the threat in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, she swallowed her words. She glanced nervously at the calm Li Chenxu and stammered, "S-Sir, how about we give Miss Mu a ride?"
"Since you've put it that way, let's go."
From the moment Ningning appeared, Li Chenxu didn't glance at Mu Xiaoyu again. Even after saying that, he took Ningning and got into the car.
Ningning originally intended to sit in the back seat with Li Chenxu, but before she even got in the car, she saw Mu Xiaoyu standing next to her with a beaming smile.
The smile on his face sent a chill down Ningning's spine.
She had no doubt that if she sat in the back seat with Li Chenxu at this moment, Mu Xiaoyu would definitely find a way to deal with her.
Ningning was incredibly timid. Upon seeing this, she quickly opened the front door and climbed in. Her movements were so fast that even Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but marvel.
She sighed as she got into the car and sat down next to Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu didn't seem surprised that Mu Xiaoyu was sitting next to him. After she sat down, he simply said indifferently, "Miss Mu's personality is getting more and more lively these days."
These words were clearly a sarcastic jab at Mu Xiaoyu's threat to Ningning. Mu Xiaoyu could tell, but she just didn't want to know.
Hearing this, she even winked at Li Chenxu with a happy look and said, "Yes, if I'm not lively, how can people like me? Mr. Li saw it before, right? I'm so popular with little boys now."
Mu Xiaoyu sighed and pretended to be troubled, saying, "I don't know what's wrong with me now. When I was younger, I liked people older than me, but now that I'm older, I like people younger than me."
Li Chenxu has always been a very possessive person. No matter how indifferent or calm he may appear on the surface, his heart is actually in turmoil.
But now, his face shows no emotion whatsoever.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little bored and couldn't help but pout. She didn't want to say anything at the moment. She had gotten up very early this morning to prepare food for Li Chenxu and hadn't slept well, so her hands were actually a little sore.
She didn't want to say these things, lest she be suspected of deliberately trying to elicit sympathy later.
However, thinking about the meal she had brought to Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "What did Mr. Li eat today?"
"I didn't expect Miss Mu to be interested in even my meals now... I've been eating out all day, but Assistant Lin brought over an exquisite lunchbox this morning. Could it be... a gift from Miss Mu?"
It seems that Li Chenxu didn't eat the food she cooked. Although Mu Xiaoyu should have thought about it earlier, she still felt sad when she heard Li Chenxu's answer.
But it doesn't matter, if once doesn't work, try twice. She doesn't believe that Li Chenxu won't eat it even once.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more, leaned her head against the window, and closed her eyes to rest.
Her eyebrows and eyes have always been beautiful, but now they reveal an undeniable weariness, which is heartbreaking.
In the past, when Li Chenxu was with Mu Xiaoyu, Mu Xiaoyu almost never showed such a tired expression. But recently, the tiredness on Mu Xiaoyu's face has hardly disappeared.
Li Chenxu turned his head slightly to look at Mu Xiaoyu. Perhaps because she had already fallen asleep, Mu Xiaoyu's breathing had gradually become calm, and she looked very beautiful from the side.
He stared at her for a long time before finally fixing his gaze on Ningning, who was sitting in front of him, and lowered his voice: "What exactly happened in the mall just now?"
To avoid being heard by Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu spoke in a low voice, but it was enough for the people in the car to hear.
Compared to Mu Xiaoyu, Ningning was clearly more afraid of Li Chenxu. She hesitated for a moment, glancing at the sleeping Mu Xiaoyu, before finally stammering out the story of what had happened in the mall to Li Chenxu. Finally, she couldn't help but say angrily to him, "Sir, Miss Mu really went too far..."
Before she could finish speaking, she swallowed the rest of her words when she met Li Chenxu's cold eyes.
"Just listen to what she says, but don't make her angry, understand?"
"I understand... But sir, should I do as Miss Mu said before?"
This time, Li Chenxu didn't speak. His gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyu, who was already asleep beside him, as if he was thinking about something.
In many matters, Li Chenxu didn't want to argue with Mu Xiaoyu. He was her man, and naturally, he had to defer to her in many things. He didn't think there was any point in arguing about those things. As long as the two of them could live well, that was enough.
But this time, Mu Xiaoyu's words and actions really went too far.
Even now, when Li Chenxu thinks back to what Mu Xiaoyu said, he still feels like he wants to catch Mu Xiaoyu and give her a good beating.
This matter cannot be left so easily. Otherwise, given Mu Xiaoyu's personality, if something like this happens again, she might cause a ruckus.
Thinking of this, he shook his head at Ningning and said, "Just do as I said before, as for the rest, you don't need to worry about it."
With Li Chenxu's words, Ningning felt much more at ease. She breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more, obediently remaining a decorative object.
As darkness fell, the neon lights on both sides of the street began to flash, and the capital city was instantly immersed in a sea of neon lights.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say where she was going at the time, so Li Chenxu simply took her to the villa.
Nearly an hour had passed since they got into the car and returned to the villa, but Mu Xiaoyu still showed no signs of waking up.
Maintaining one posture for a long time is not comfortable, and in addition, Mu Xiaoyu has not been in a good mood lately. Even in her sleep, she often frowns and looks sad.
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu for a while, hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to her, wanting to adjust her position to make her more comfortable. But before his hand even touched her face, Mu Xiaoyu opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, there was obvious wariness in them, but when she saw that it was Li Chenxu, she suddenly smiled.
She was a smart woman, and seeing Li Chenxu's actions, she immediately understood what was going on.
