The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 139 Want to Understand Your Past

Chapter 139 Want to Understand Your Past

The person who called Mu Xiaoyu was none other than the magazine's editor-in-chief. Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised, as she still clearly remembered their unpleasant parting last time, and she had even prepared herself for a complete break. However, she didn't expect that only two days later, the editor-in-chief would call her.

Mu Xiaoyu quickly realized what was happening. She suppressed her surprise and hurriedly answered the phone.

"Mrs. Li, I was too impulsive last time. I hope you're not angry with me?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the club president asked Mu Xiaoyu in a somewhat apprehensive voice, a completely different tone from when he had lost his temper with Mu Xiaoyu that day.

Actually, it was understandable that the president was so angry at the time. After all, the awards ceremony was a mess that he had put a lot of effort into arranging. Who would have thought it would turn out like that? So Mu Xiaoyu didn't take it to heart at all.

Hearing the president say this, she quickly replied, "What happened before was also my fault. I didn't handle my personal matters well, which caused trouble for the magazine and you. So this is not your fault; you should blame me."

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say this, the president seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The main purpose of calling Mu Xiaoyu today, besides apologizing, was to talk about the book signing event, so he didn't say anything more and gave Mu Xiaoyu a general overview of the arrangements.

Because the perpetrator has not yet been identified, the autograph session has been postponed as a precaution. Safety measures need to be implemented to prevent a repeat of the incident that occurred at the last awards ceremony.

Mu Xiaoyu listened to the president's words and agreed. She thought for a moment and said, "If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. After all, I also bear some responsibility for this matter."

"No need, no need. I've already made most of the arrangements on my end. I just wanted to let you know, Mrs. Li..."

With Li Chenxu's help, there was no need for Mu Xiaoyu's help at all. Besides, Li Chenxu had already said that this matter should be kept from Mu Xiaoyu so that she wouldn't worry. If he told her later, and Li Chenxu blamed him, then he would be finished.

The two didn't talk for long. After finishing their work-related matters, Mu Xiaoyu hung up the phone.

She had been engrossed in talking to the president and hadn't noticed that Li Chenxu had already come out of the bathroom. She had just hung up the phone when she saw Li Chenxu standing behind her, drying his hair.

"Did someone from the magazine call you?"

Mu Xiaoyu nodded, and while taking a hairdryer to dry Li Chenxu's hair, she said, "They just told me the time for the autograph session, saying it would be on the weekend. Wasn't it originally scheduled for today? But it's a weekday now, and considering what happened at the awards ceremony last time, they said they need to take extra security measures..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu didn't say anything, but simply lowered his head and let Mu Xiaoyu blow-dry his hair.

Most men's hair is much stiffer than women's, but Li Chenxu's was different; his hair was soft. Mu Xiaoyu's fingertips ran through Li Chenxu's hair, and she felt an indescribable comfort.

Because they were blow-drying Li Chenxu's hair, Mu Xiaoyu was standing while Li Chenxu was sitting. From Mu Xiaoyu's angle, Li Chenxu's hair whorl had a small dimple, which somehow seemed exceptionally cute to Mu Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly thought of her high school and college days. Back then, many boys would dye their hair to stand out from the crowd, mostly in a blonde color.

Many boys thought they looked cool with that kind of hair, but Mu Xiaoyu thought it was just unconventional and childish.

But thinking about it now, boys of that age also had their own charm...

"Brother Chenxu, do you have any old photos?"

Thinking back, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly wanted to know what Li Chenxu looked like in the past. She vaguely remembered that there used to be a photo album of Li Chenxu at home, which she had accidentally found once before.

Back then, she avoided Li Chenxu like the plague and had absolutely no interest in anything about him, so she didn't pay any attention to that photo album. Now, so much time has passed, and that photo album is long gone.

Li Chenxu seemed surprised that Mu Xiaoyu would suddenly ask this question. He paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at Mu Xiaoyu and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"I just... want to know what you were like before."

The only time Li Chenxu seems truly alive is in front of Mu Xiaoyu. In front of strangers, he's as serious and rigid as a little old man. Mu Xiaoyu is curious whether Li Chenxu was like this when he was in school.

This idea had barely sprouted when it began to grow rapidly, making Mu Xiaoyu increasingly curious.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle. It was unclear what he was thinking. The next second, he reached out and touched Mu Xiaoyu's soft earlobe, saying, "There used to be a photo album at home with pictures of me in it, but I don't know where it is now... If you want to know what I used to look like, I'll take you to a few places when I have time, and then you'll find out."

Li Chenxu's words only fueled Mu Xiaoyu's curiosity. Her already bright and moist eyes now seemed to glow, making them exceptionally beautiful.

Seeing this, Li Chenxu's heart stirred slightly. He couldn't help but stroke Mu Xiaoyu's eyes and murmur, "Why are you interested in this now?"

"Because... I also want to know what you were like in the past."

Mu Xiaoyu spoke very seriously, her eyes fixed on Li Chenxu as she spoke, shining like stars in the sky.

If he continued watching like this, Li Chenxu's previous shower would be for nothing. So before Mu Xiaoyu could say anything more to make him impulsive, Li Chenxu quickly stood up, walked to the wardrobe, took out the suit he was going to wear today, and said with his back to Mu Xiaoyu while putting it on, "When do you have time? I'll take you there."

Mu Xiaoyu felt that Li Chenxu seemed a little strange just now, but her attention was quickly drawn to what Li Chenxu was saying now. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "I'm available anytime except for the day of the book signing. But this matter is not in a hurry. It mainly depends on your schedule."
