The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 169 I'm Not That Superficial

Chapter 169 I'm not that shallow

Mu Xiaoyu was very obedient at this moment, eating as much as Li Chenxu told her to eat. After finishing, she looked at Li Chenxu with expectant eyes, just like a child, as if begging for his praise.

She looked so adorable that Li Chenxu almost couldn't resist hugging her and squeezing her around.

However, considering that there were other people around, Li Chenxu managed to suppress this impulse.

He reached out and ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair, a smile playing on his lips as he praised, "Our Xiaoyu is such a good girl~"

His deep voice carried a slight, upturned smile, so pleasant it was almost intoxicating. Mu Xiaoyu blushed, feeling embarrassed to look at Li Chenxu. She quickly lowered her head and muttered softly, "I'm always well-behaved..."

Actually, she's not obedient at all. Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a gentle and sweet person to begin with; she's just a little different in front of Li Chenxu.

However, she was still happy to hear Li Chenxu praise her like that.

Today, Mu Xiaoyu had just finished her book signing event and had also spent too much time and energy on things with Li Chenxu. After dinner, she and Li Chenxu sat on the sofa to rest for a while, and then she felt a little drowsy.

Li Chenxu watched Mu Xiaoyu's little head nodding and couldn't help but chuckle. He patted his thigh and said, "Lie down for a while, I'll wake you up when it's time to take your medicine."

Both of them are usually busy with work, and even at home in the evenings, they have to work, so they rarely have free time like this.

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes crinkled with joy. She softly hummed in agreement, then quickly lay down on the sofa, resting her head on Li Chenxu's lap.

Mu Xiaoyu originally thought that Li Chenxu's thighs would feel comfortable, but it seems that she forgot that Li Chenxu is someone who always exercises and works out, and he has a lot of muscles. Although he is not using his thighs at the moment, he can still feel some muscles.

Mu Xiaoyu is now lying on Li Chenxu's lap... and seems a little uncomfortable...

Mu Xiaoyu was originally very sleepy, but when she lay on Li Chenxu's lap, she found it hard to fall asleep.

Li Chenxu looked down at Mu Xiaoyu, who had suddenly opened her eyes, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise: "Why aren't you sleeping anymore?"

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Li Chenxu with her chin tilted back, shook her head and said, "I suddenly can't sleep..." She was too embarrassed to say directly that it was because Li Chenxu's thighs were too hard that she couldn't sleep. If she said that, she would definitely be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, before Li Chenxu could speak again, Mu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed Li Chenxu's hand and said, "Let's chat."

"what you want to say?"

"Um...I don't know either..."

It was Mu Xiaoyu who initiated the conversation, but now she was the one in a dilemma. Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and finally reached out and lightly tapped the tip of Mu Xiaoyu's nose, laughing, "I don't know why you're still talking."

Mu Xiaoyu pouted in dissatisfaction upon hearing this, and was about to say something, but the next second she seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately swallowed the rest of her words.

She released Li Chenxu's hand and instead used her slender fingertips to trace his face, saying, "They say that when you look at someone like this, you can see all their flaws very clearly, but why do you still look so good to me when I look at you like this?"

"That's because I'm good-looking no matter what. Besides, if I weren't good-looking, why would you like me?"

Li Chenxu was also a shameless person. From childhood to adulthood, he had been an extremely outstanding individual, far surpassing ordinary people in both appearance and ability. When he said this, he meant it sincerely.

However, Mu Xiaoyu immediately disagreed when she heard him say that. She pouted and muttered, "Am I such a superficial person who only cares about looks...?"

That's what she said, but Mu Xiaoyu still felt a little guilty.

Looking back now, it seems that although she was attracted to Li Chenxu, it wasn't because of his handsome face. But ever since she realized her feelings for him, she couldn't help but swoon every time she saw his face.

Fortunately, she hid it well most of the time, and Li Chenxu probably never noticed.

With this thought in mind, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt more confident.

She withdrew her hand and said, "I am impressed by your character, not by your face."

After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu snorted twice, and without saying anything more to Li Chenxu, she quickly got up to take the medicine brought by the maid, swallowed it quickly, and went upstairs without looking at Li Chenxu again.

Downstairs, Li Chenxu watched Mu Xiaoyu run so fast and couldn't help but chuckle softly. Perhaps because he had been drinking today, he was much more relaxed than he usually was at home, and his laughter was completely undisguised.

A low laugh echoed from downstairs to upstairs, and even Mu Xiaoyu, who had already gone upstairs, could faintly hear it.

It felt as if Li Chenxu's laughter was right next to her ear, and Mu Xiaoyu's ears burned. Good heavens, Li Chenxu is just too alluring…

The two made up and resumed their usual routine the next day. They both went to bed late last night and woke up a little later than usual this morning.

Mu Xiaoyu always looked sleepy when she woke up. She didn't have anything to do today and could have slept in at home, but she insisted on getting up with Li Chenxu.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu still rubbing her eyes, Li Chenxu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and said, "Why are you up so early? Can't you sleep a little longer?"

"No way! Yesterday... I was stopped when I went to your company. Today I want to go to your company with you so that your company staff will know that we've made up."

Mu Xiaoyu's tone was tinged with reproach when she said this, and her mournful eyes made Li Chenxu chuckle again.

He nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. We can call Song Yin over today to talk about the movie."

The original plan was to finalize the casting in a couple of days, but both the people at the company and Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu themselves preferred Song Yin as the female lead.

After all, she has both talent and good looks, and she and Mu Xiaoyu are mutual fans, so it couldn't be more suitable.

So there's no need to do any more formalities. Mu Xiaoyu is coming to the company today, so we can talk to Song Yin about this directly and sign the contract today.
