The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 345 Follow Me

Mu Xiaoyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the hurried pedestrians below. The vast capital city was almost entirely within her view.

The capital city is a place that countless people yearn for. Mu Xiaoyu used to desperately want to escape her family of origin and settle down here.

Although my family was struggling financially at that time, my thoughts were still quite simple.

She never thought about making a lot of money; she just wanted to get her mother out of Mu Pengzheng's clutches and for the two of them to live a good life together.

She probably never imagined that a few years later, after achieving all her goals, she would face even greater difficulties than before.

Thinking about the situation she and Li Chenxu were facing, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

Indeed, life is unpredictable; no one can foresee what will happen next.

"My men just called and said that the roads in your hometown are blocked by heavy rain. If the rain doesn't stop tonight, we might not be able to go tomorrow."

At this moment, Li Chenxu walked in and saw Mu Xiaoyu standing in front of the French windows. He walked behind Mu Xiaoyu, hugged her, and said...

Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm." She knew her hometown's situation best. Figuring out the meaning of those numbers was important, but it wasn't worth gambling with her life.

"Look, I feel like a lot of people in this city aren't very happy."

Mu Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly placed her slender fingers in front of the glass window, pointed down and said to Li Chenxu.

Why are you suddenly saying this?

Li Chenxu continued Mu Xiaoyu's words. Perhaps because so many things had happened recently, Mu Xiaoyu had become much more sentimental than usual.

“Look at those people downstairs. It’s just time to leave work. They’ve worked so long in the office all day. They should be most relaxed and carefree when they leave work. But they’re rushing around. Even though I can’t see their faces, I can guess that they’re not smiling.”

Before Mu Pengzheng's incident, Mu Xiaoyu actually enjoyed observing the people around her, aside from working on her manuscripts.

However, she used to observe people mostly in places like dessert shops or tea restaurants where people could relax during their leisure time, but rarely did she observe people rushing to and from work in the company office like she does now.

Li Chenxu was taken aback by Mu Xiaoyu's thoughts and paused for a few seconds before suddenly chuckling. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's neck, then said, "Since there's nothing else to do right now, how about we go for a walk?"

"at this time?"

Mu Xiaoyu turned around and looked at Li Chenxu in surprise. It was pouring rain outside. What could she possibly do outside at this time?

Seemingly sensing Mu Xiaoyu's doubts, Li Chenxu reached out and gently tapped Mu Xiaoyu's forehead: "Just follow me."

This time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything and obediently followed Li Chenxu out. Actually, she was still a little curious about what Li Chenxu wanted to do. After all, given Li Chenxu's personality, it was rare for him to have a surprise once every year or two. It was even rarer for him to take her out like this.

So Mu Xiaoyu stopped objecting, put on her coat, and went downstairs with Li Chenxu.

When Lin Zhu saw the two of them come out from his office outside, he quickly came over to follow them.

"You don't need to come with us. Xiaoyu and I are going out for a walk. You go ahead and do your thing."

Before Lin Zhu could speak, Li Chenxu spoke calmly. Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu paused, his gaze becoming increasingly complex as he watched Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's departing figures. He stood there without moving, his eyes following their backs until they completely disappeared from his sight, before turning back to his office.

Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu went out alone, just the two of them. The torrential rain outside showed no signs of letting up. Li Chenxu had brought a large black umbrella with him, and now that it was open, it could just cover both of them.

Li Chenxu put his arm around Mu Xiaoyu's waist and led her outside, saying, "This is the first time we've come out in this kind of weather. How does it feel?"

The rain was so heavy today that even though Li Chenxu's umbrella was big enough, there was still a lot of rainwater splashing on his trousers. Mu Xiaoyu, like Li Chenxu, was a bit of a germaphobe, and when she saw the water stains on her trousers, her little face immediately looked a little aggrieved.

She snorted softly and said to Li Chenxu with a hint of grievance, "What else could I feel? What exactly do you want me to see, Brother Chenxu? It's raining so hard, everyone is holding umbrellas, we can't see anything."

"Who said you can't see it? Follow me first."

Li Chenxu gave Mu Xiaoyu a rather mysterious smile, and without waiting for Mu Xiaoyu's reply, he put his arm around her and walked towards the subway station.

From the moment Mu Xiaoyu married Li Chenxu, she never rode the subway or bus again, and naturally never went to a subway station.

The company is located in the city center, and there is a subway station not far from the company building, from which most employees exit every day. Mu Xiaoyu couldn't understand why Li Chenxu was taking her there at this time.

However, she didn't have time to think much before Li Chenxu led her into the subway station.

It was pouring rain outside, and the subway station was even more crowded than usual. However, things seemed a little different from what Mu Xiaoyu had imagined.

Back then at the company, Mu Xiaoyu would look down at them from upstairs, watching their hurried footsteps. She always felt that these people lived like walking corpses, without any joy whatsoever, or if they did, it was very little.

But now, what is presented to her is a completely different scene.

Perhaps because it wasn't working hours, most of the people in the subway station looked very relaxed. Some were in groups, some in pairs, and some were alone.

Some people were discussing something together, occasionally letting out soft laughter, while another person was holding a phone, seemingly on a call, with a smile occasionally appearing on their face.

Of course, some people looked serious and unhappy, but it was clear that they weren't numb like zombies; it was just a normal emotion.

"How is it? Doesn't it feel different from what you expected?"
