Chapter 374 I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyu

"But this is where children sit!"

Mu Xiaoyu's voice was very soft; she didn't dare to speak loudly at all, for fear that if she raised her voice even slightly, it would attract other people's attention.

Although, at this moment, many people were already looking in their direction.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu's smile widened rather than diminished. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a beaming smile and said, "I know, but you can still sit down, right? Okay, don't worry too much about what others think. As long as we're comfortable, that's enough. Look at the others, pretending to be comfortable, how uncomfortable they are."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked around at the people. The people living in this community were mostly important figures in Beijing. They were rarely seen in the community or supermarkets. She didn't know what was going on today, but all these important figures who were usually not seen were here.

However, unlike the relaxed atmosphere of Mu Xiaoyu and her group, these people, perhaps because they were concerned about their own face and status, acted as if they were inspecting a supermarket, tense and not at all relaxed.

Even between husband and wife, they acted like ordinary strangers, which was not what Mu Xiaoyu wanted at all.

So she snorted twice and said with a touch of arrogance, "Fine, just this once. But I can't do this again next time. I'm an adult, I can't act like a child."

"An adult? You don't look like an adult to me."

Li Chenxu said with a smile, pushing Mu Xiaoyu as they walked into the supermarket.

The supermarket is usually not crowded, but it's well-stocked, so even with all the people, there won't be any shortages. Mu Xiaoyu, holding the list she had prepared earlier, and Li Chenxu, each took out the items they needed to buy.

"Should we buy some snacks? What if we don't have anything to eat when guests come over?"

Mu Xiaoyu doesn't like snacks, but she seemed to eat quite a lot when she went out with Song Yin and the others. And Song Yin will be back soon, so the two of them will definitely meet then.

However, when Mu Xiaoyu thought of Song Yin, she also thought of Bai Luo. She remembered how close the two were, and how the Bai family had done such a thing.

Then she thought of Grandpa Bai. She thought that she liked Grandpa Bai just as much as she thought Bai Luo was a good person.

But it was all fake.

Mu Xiaoyu was feeling a little down. Li Chenxu noticed this and reached out to ruffle her soft hair, comforting her, "Don't think too much about it, everything will be alright. As for snacks, Song Yin hasn't finished filming yet, and she has many promotional activities afterward, so she probably won't be able to eat snacks yet. Besides, the snacks our housekeeper makes are really delicious, so if we want some, we can just have her make some."

Li Chenxu's words made sense, and they had bought far too much stuff. Li Chenxu wouldn't be able to carry it all by himself, and they would have to have it delivered. Mu Xiaoyu didn't like that, so she had no choice but to give up.

The two didn't spend much time shopping, and after paying, they didn't go home immediately but instead strolled around the neighborhood.

The events of that short year were like the transformation of the ocean into mulberry fields, so numerous that even Mu Xiaoyu found it unbelievable. Even something as ordinary as a walk became rare between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu this year. A walk like this now felt like something from a long time ago.

Li Chenxu held Mu Xiaoyu's hand, his large, warm palm enveloping Mu Xiaoyu's small hand, giving Mu Xiaoyu an infinite sense of security.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Chenxu, but unexpectedly, Li Chenxu caught her immediately.

Li Chenxu smiled and looked at Mu Xiaoyu, saying, "Xiaoyu, I've noticed something."

"what is the problem?"

Mu Xiaoyu was spending more and more time secretly watching Li Chenxu, and now even if Li Chenxu caught her, she wasn't as shy as before. When she spoke, she looked at Li Chenxu openly and frankly, without the slightest hint of excitement or embarrassment.

Li Chenxu took all of this in, bent down close to Mu Xiaoyu, and said, word by word, "I've noticed that you really like looking at me more and more these days. Is it because you think my face is the most beautiful?"

Mu Xiaoyu admitted that Li Chenxu was good-looking, though not the most handsome. But his overall demeanor was so striking that, not only in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, but probably in the eyes of the female employees in the company, Li Chenxu was the most handsome.

Even if it's good-looking, it shouldn't have come out of Li Chenxu's mouth; it's incredibly narcissistic.

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was about to speak, but before she could say anything, she heard the voice of the person in front of her.

"Sister Xiaoyu..."

The familiar voice, tinged with obvious timidity, made Mu Xiaoyu immediately turn to look at the person in front of her.

The person standing in front of Mu Xiaoyu and the others was Bai Luo, one of the culprits who had been making Mu Xiaoyu feel irritable these past few days.

Bai Luo's demeanor at this moment was completely different from usual. Her face was full of caution and timidity, and her eyes looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of guilt and remorse.

Judging from Bai Luo's expression, if she hadn't been involved in those things before, it means she now knows what Bai Ye and the Bai family have done.

However, Mu Xiaoyu and the others had just obtained the box and knew what Bai Ye had done, and now Bai Luo had arrived. Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a greater sense of doubt towards Bai Luo than she had before.

She didn't go over immediately. Instead, she frowned and looked at Bai Luo for a few seconds, as if she suddenly remembered something. Then she smiled slightly, walked to Bai Luo's side, took Bai Luo's hand, and said with a smile, "Luo Luo, what's wrong? It's so late, why didn't you even call before coming over?"

"Sister Xiaoyu, there's something I want to tell you, it's very important!"

Bai Luo grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand, and perhaps because he was too excited, he held Mu Xiaoyu's hand with almost all his might, and Mu Xiaoyu even felt a little pain.

Mu Xiaoyu feigned surprise and looked at Bai Luo for a few seconds, then looked at Bai Luo with a puzzled expression: "Luo Luo, what happened? Why are you..."

"Sister Xiaoyu, it's not convenient to talk about this here. But please believe me, I really never intended to harm you."

Bai Luo spoke urgently, with tears glistening in her eyes as she tried her best to control her emotions.
