Chapter 43 Opinions
Mu Xiaoyu was shy after all. Although she had developed different feelings for Li Chenxu, she was still too embarrassed to sit on his lap for long. So she got down after a while and asked Li Chenxu for his opinion with her iPad.
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu didn't expect Li Chenxu to give her much advice; she simply wanted Li Chenxu to share his perspective as a reader.
Who knew that Li Chenxu would offer so many feasible suggestions for modifying her storyline from a very professional perspective.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu listened to Li Chenxu's opinions while revising the plot of the next book's comic, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Li Chenxu out of the corner of her eye.
Perhaps because they were seriously discussing work matters, Li Chenxu's expression was somewhat serious at this moment. His handsome eyebrows and eyes showed a seriousness that had almost never been seen before. This Li Chenxu had a charm that could not be described in words.
Even without looking at his face, the aura emanating from Li Chenxu right now is enough to make people infatuated.
"Focus on your work, don't just look at your husband."
Li Chenxu curled his lips and gently tapped Mu Xiaoyu's forehead as he spoke, his tone full of doting affection.
Mu Xiaoyu blushed instantly at Li Chenxu's action, too embarrassed to let her mind wander any further, and focused on revising the plot of her new comic book.
The afternoon passed quickly, thanks to Li Chenxu's help. Mu Xiaoyu soon finished revising and perfecting the plot, and it was time for Li Chenxu to leave work.
It was only then that Mu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that Li Chenxu had been helping her with her work all afternoon, and he hadn't done much of his own work.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu. He was wearing a suit jacket and, sensing Mu Xiaoyu's gaze, he buttoned it up as he walked towards her.
"What's wrong? Is there something you haven't done properly?"
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head and looked at Li Chenxu, saying softly, "Chenxu, did my presence here today interfere with your work?"
"So that's what it was about..."
Li Chenxu chuckled, and after buttoning the last button, he took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and kissed it. "How could it interfere with my work? On the contrary, my work efficiency has improved a lot since you came today. Don't overthink it... What do you want to eat tonight?"
As he spoke, Li Chenxu pulled Mu Xiaoyu away from the office. The company's employees usually waited until Li Chenxu, the big boss, had left work before daring to leave.
As the two walked out of the office, almost half of the employees in the outside office area turned their attention to Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu.
Although Mu Xiaoyu acts like a little girl in front of Li Chenxu, she displays a completely different kind of assertiveness when she's outside.
Having been reborn and experiencing things recently, Mu Xiaoyu has come to understand one thing: the more gentle and approachable you appear, the more people will think you are easy to bully.
Lin Xia was an example before, and the receptionists at Li Chenxu's company today are another example.
So, facing all sorts of stares from the crowd, Mu Xiaoyu not only showed no fear, but even walked beside Li Chenxu with her head held high and a confident smile on her face.
Li Chenxu took in Mu Xiaoyu's appearance. In fact, after his relationship with Mu Xiaoyu improved during this period, he had clearly noticed the changes in Mu Xiaoyu.
I've become more confident and stronger than before.
Mu Xiaoyu is like a treasure trove; the deeper you dig, the more surprises you find. How could he possibly let go of someone like Mu Xiaoyu?
"How about we skip dinner at home tonight and go have hot pot? I haven't had it in ages, I really want some."
Only after the two left the company did Mu Xiaoyu smile and say to Li Chenxu. Actually, her cold wasn't completely gone, but it wasn't very noticeable.
People who have just recovered from a cold often crave strong-flavored foods, and Mu Xiaoyu was no exception.
However, Li Chenxu refused without hesitation: "No, you're not fully recovered from your cold yet. Wait a couple more days, and you can eat whatever you want once you're better."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but pout. She was about to coax Li Chenxu into agreeing, but before she could say anything, the phone rang softly. She didn't know who was calling, but almost the instant she saw the caller ID, the smile on her face vanished completely, replaced by a barely perceptible hint of annoyance.
"Whose phone number?"
"The magazine editor-in-chief, I don't know why he's making a phone call at this hour..."
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but mutter to herself, but still answered the phone: "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Chen... Going over at this hour? Doesn't the magazine close at this time... Okay, I'll be there in a bit..."
Less than two minutes later, Mu Xiaoyu hung up the phone, her mood clearly downcast.
The magazine she's currently working for doesn't exclusively publish comics. Originally, Mu Xiaoyu wanted to publish with a dedicated comic book club, but at that time she was too inexperienced and didn't have any particularly popular works, so that comic book club didn't accept her work at all.
So she had to settle for second best and found a slightly more reputable magazine to publish her work. She plans to work there for two years until she gains some recognition, and then look for a better comic book publisher.
At first, Mu Xiaoyu was quite happy working at this magazine. After all, her serialized comic brought in a decent amount of revenue, so her editor and editor-in-chief treated her very well. Until a few months ago, when the current editor-in-chief came in, all sorts of unpleasant things started happening…
Li Chenxu noticed Mu Xiaoyu's agitation and took her hand: "What's wrong? Did someone from the magazine say something to you?"
"No, the editor-in-chief wants me to go to the magazine office now. He wants to talk to me about something related to comics, but I don't really want to go."
As for why she didn't want to go, Mu Xiaoyu didn't tell Li Chenxu. After all, it was something she found difficult to talk about. However, just because she didn't want to go didn't mean she was afraid. The Mu Xiaoyu of the past only knew how to endure, but the Mu Xiaoyu of now was different. If that damned Chen Hao tried to lay a hand on her again like before, she had plenty of ways to make him unrecognizable!
Mu Xiaoyu cheered herself up and didn't want Li Chenxu to worry about anything anymore, so she quickly gave him a big smile: "I just don't want work to interfere with our time together, but I have to go there now, so you'll have to eat dinner alone tonight."
