Chapter 78 Admitting Mistakes
Putting aside other factors, it was indeed much easier for Xu Shu and Mu Xiaoyu, two strong women, to get along. Both of them were extremely serious about their work and had their own lofty ideals and ambitions, so they quickly reached an agreement, and by the time they finished dinner, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"You really don't want me to take you?"
Xu Shu had his own car and originally planned to take Mu Xiaoyu home after dinner, but Mu Xiaoyu couldn't fully trust Xu Shu yet, so she naturally declined his offer.
Besides, Li Chenxu had already texted her to say that he was almost there, so she naturally didn't need to ride in Xu Shu's car.
So when she heard Xu Shu's words, Mu Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "No, my husband will be here soon."
Since Mu Xiaoyu had already said that, Xu Shu naturally couldn't say anything more. He gave Mu Xiaoyu a few words of advice to be careful, and then drove away.
Within minutes of Xu Shu leaving, Li Chenxu arrived in his car. He came very quickly, as if he had never left Mu Xiaoyu's side at all.
In fact, Mu Xiaoyu knew almost without thinking that Li Chenxu hadn't gone far from her and had been watching over her all along.
"Have you eaten yet?" Mu Xiaoyu asked Li Chenxu as soon as they got in the car. Although Li Chenxu was always a very mature man, he sometimes became like a child when it came to her.
Just like now, Li Chenxu was able to pick her up so quickly in just a few minutes. Mu Xiaoyu was almost certain that Li Chenxu hadn't eaten dinner that night.
Originally, when we went to that ancient town in City B today, Li Chenxu didn't have much of an appetite because of the bumpy road, and he barely ate anything there. Now, so much time has passed, and even a body of iron can't withstand not eating for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu chuckled at Mu Xiaoyu and said with a slight smile, "It's so late, of course I'll eat."
"Then tell me where you ate?"
"I ate around here."
"Then let me see your phone."
Whether Li Chenxu paid with his phone or by card, there would definitely be transaction information on his phone. Whether Li Chenxu was lying or telling the truth, we'll know once we look at his phone.
Li Chenxu was taken aback by Mu Xiaoyu's sudden move, and his eyes immediately turned helpless. He didn't even take out his phone, surrendering directly: "I haven't had dinner yet, but you know I'm healthy, so missing a meal is no big deal."
"But even if you're healthy, you can't skip meals!"
Mu Xiaoyu interrupted Li Chenxu abruptly. She glared at him angrily, not because he had lied to her about not eating, but because she was worried about his health.
Since reconciling with Li Chenxu, as time went on, she became increasingly aware of Li Chenxu's intense and passionate feelings for her. She also grew to like Li Chenxu more and more, so she hadn't thought much of it before, and even felt very happy.
But things are different now. If Li Chenxu's passionate feelings for her were to affect his health, that would be something Mu Xiaoyu definitely doesn't want to see.
Moreover, she remembered very clearly that before the two of them reconciled, Li Chenxu often left early and returned late, buried himself in work, and often didn't even have time to eat. His stomach was even worse than hers. What if something happened to him?
Mu Xiaoyu was extremely worried, and her gaze towards Li Chenxu became increasingly angry and concerned.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was angry, Li Chenxu quickly hugged her and coaxed, "I was wrong this time. I promise I won't do it again next time. My Xiaoyu is the best girl. Don't be angry, okay?"
"You said it wouldn't happen again. What are you going to do if something like this happens again?"
Mu Xiaoyu made it clear today that she wouldn't let Li Chenxu get away with this so easily. Even if Li Chenxu obediently admitted his mistake now, it wouldn't be over so easily. Li Chenxu had to make a real guarantee.
Seeing her like this, Li Chenxu's eyes grew even more helpless. But he couldn't bear to make Mu Xiaoyu angry, so he could only compromise and say, "If you do this again next time, I'll let you do whatever you want with me, okay?"
"Alright, if you do this again next time, we'll have to sleep in separate beds from now on!"
Mu Xiaoyu's words were truly harsh. Li Chenxu never expected Mu Xiaoyu's punishment to be so severe, and upon hearing this, his expression immediately became indescribable.
He glanced at Mu Xiaoyu with some hesitation, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, his eyes darted around, and before Mu Xiaoyu could notice, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu with his deep eyes.
In the past, when he looked at Mu Xiaoyu like this, it always carried a certain domineering air, making it impossible for her to resist, and even causing her to involuntarily compromise. But this time, Li Chenxu was different; his deep eyes held a hint of innocence and pity.
Most women like mature men, but once they truly fall in love, they have absolutely no resistance when their men act cute and give in to them.
Just like Mu Xiaoyu now, when she saw Li Chenxu's eyes, she immediately couldn't stand it.
So Mu Xiaoyu quickly turned her head away, avoiding Li Chenxu's eyes, and muttered, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't think that I'll take back what I just said..."
"Xiaoyu... there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
Li Chenxu did not force Mu Xiaoyu to look into his eyes again, but when he said this, his tone sounded a little lower than usual, and at the same time, it sounded a little pitiful.
Just that pitiful, innocent look in his eyes was almost unbearable for Mu Xiaoyu, and now that Li Chenxu was speaking to her in that tone, Mu Xiaoyu only lasted a few seconds before giving in.
She turned to look at Li Chenxu, her lips pressed tightly together, and asked, "What is it that you didn't tell me?"
"As you know, although the Li family is large and powerful, as the head of the Li family, I also have a lot of responsibilities... You've been to the company a few times these past few days, so you should know how busy I am... Actually, before we made up, I couldn't sleep at all. I suffered from insomnia most of the time, and my mental state was really bad. After we made up, I slept with you every day, and that helped a bit. Look at my temper before, compared to now, doesn't it seem much better?"
