Chapter 5 Amazing
After tidying everything up, Mu Xiaoyu hid in her bedroom, recalling everything that happened in her previous life. She wanted to find the person who pushed her off the building to avoid risks in this life, but she racked her brains and still couldn't find anything.
"There's a banquet at seven tonight, you'll be attending with me!" Li Chenxu's cold, indifferent voice brought Mu Xiaoyu back from her reverie. She looked up and saw him leaning against the door, his slightly damp hair lazily covering his forehead, exuding charm.
In an instant, Mu Xiaoyu's face flushed red again. She thought she must be going crazy. Reborn as a lecherous demon, every time she saw Li Chenxu's sexy chest, she was reminded of what happened last night. She nodded hurriedly, shifting her gaze elsewhere, and said:
"Okay, I'll get ready and come downstairs!"
After Mu Xiaoyu finished speaking, she felt Li Chenxu's cold gaze fixed on her for a long time. She didn't dare to look up and meet his eyes. After a long while, Li Chenxu finally snorted and spoke:
"Hurry up! Don't keep me waiting!" With that, he turned and left.
Hearing Li Chenxu's footsteps gradually fade away, Mu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She got up and went to the dressing table, looking at her uneven short hair, and sighed helplessly! It turns out that she was so childish in her previous life.
At that time, in order to make Li Chenxu hate her, Mu Xiaoyu deliberately shaved her hair into a buzz cut, and the length of the cut was uneven, like a clump of weeds.
Mu Xiaoyu gently touched the stiff hair on her head, and a tear silently fell. In this life, she would never again be a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. She would be reborn from the ashes, starting tonight!
Thinking this, Mu Xiaoyu solemnly walked into the dressing room. She carefully selected a wig, a gentle milk tea chestnut color with slightly curled, fluffy waves. The length was just right, below her collarbone. After wearing it, her femininity was immediately revealed.
Mu Xiaoyu quietly examined herself in the mirror. How long had it been since she had properly looked at herself? It turned out that she looked so charming with long hair. In her previous life, she had stared at this messy hair for eight years. In order to deal with Li Chenxu, she had made herself look disheveled, but what did she gain in the end? Perhaps she had ended up benefiting someone else.
As she thought this, Mu Xiaoyu's hands didn't stop. She applied a light makeup. Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and with a little makeup, she became incredibly beautiful. However, at the end of her makeup, Mu Xiaoyu applied a full red lip. The watery red lips made her even more fair and pretty, and also made her black eyes shine like obsidian.
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath in satisfaction, found a simple black evening dress in the dressing room, and paired it with a maple leaf-shaped diamond brooch, making her look noble and graceful.
After taking care of everything, Mu Xiaoyu checked the time; it was exactly six o'clock. She slowly walked downstairs, and the sound of her high heels attracted Li Chenxu. He looked up, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes the moment he saw Mu Xiaoyu.
"President Li, is this the cufflink you wanted..." Assistant Lin's voice trailed off. Mu Xiaoyu looked up at him and found him staring at her in shock, completely devoid of his usual capable demeanor.
"Ahem..." Li Chenxu coughed unhappily, and Assistant Lin suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head to hand the cufflinks to Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Not this..."
"But Mr. Li, you just said that you bought it during your last business trip..." Assistant Lin looked up in confusion, but before she could finish speaking, she was startled by Li Chenxu's gloomy face and swallowed her words.
“I said no, and that’s final. Move on to the next one!” Li Chenxu said, while gently rolling up his sleeves, exuding a charming yet dangerous aura with every gesture.
"Which one would you like to bring, Mr. Li?" Assistant Lin asked cautiously in a soft voice.
However, Li Chenxu smiled wickedly and said leisurely, "Go find it yourself!"
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Assistant Lin became so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly ran to the dressing room to search again, going back and forth several times, but Li Chenxu was still not satisfied, leaving Assistant Lin panting heavily.
"I think the one with irregularly set diamonds is pretty good!" Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the time, mustered up her courage, and looked at Li Chenxu to say.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu speak, Li Chenxu seemed to freeze for a second. He glanced at the diamond brooch on Mu Xiaoyu's chest, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. But it was only for a moment, so fast that Mu Xiaoyu thought it was just her imagination.
"Go and get those diamond cufflinks!" After a long silence, Li Chenxu finally spoke, breaking the stillness in the air. Assistant Lin felt like he had been granted a pardon. He glanced gratefully at Mu Xiaoyu, but then suddenly realized why Li Chenxu had suddenly attacked him. He quickly looked away and dared not look at Mu Xiaoyu again.
Mu Xiaoyu, standing to the side, was completely oblivious to the subtle tension in the air. She felt that Li Chenxu was far too dictatorial, making things difficult for people even when choosing cufflinks. She thought that if it weren't for the time being up, he probably wouldn't have accepted her suggestion!
Mu Xiaoyu drifted along aimlessly, lost in thought. She had already seen the amazement in Assistant Lin's eyes earlier, and that was exactly the effect she wanted. This time, she wanted to regain her former self in front of everyone. Mu Xiaoyu was eagerly anticipating Wu Qianru's expression later, and the thought alone made her feel incredibly gratified.
Unbeknownst to them, the car had stopped in front of a high-end club. The doorman hurriedly opened the car door and almost held his breath when he saw Mu Xiaoyu.
Li Chenxu slowly walked to Mu Xiaoyu's side, took her hand without saying a word, and pulled her to his side.
"You'd better play your part well!" Li Chenxu whispered in Mu Xiaoyu's ear, his voice cold and hard, yet carrying a warm breath that made Mu Xiaoyu's cheeks instantly flush red, like a rosebud about to bloom.
She didn't resist, gently taking Li Chenxu's arm, her lips curving into her signature smile, like a noble swan.
Upon entering the banquet hall, Li Chenxu instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, with everyone surrounding him. However, when they saw Mu Xiaoyu, they hesitated and did not step forward. They did not even recognize that it was Mu Xiaoyu, and thought that Li Chenxu, who had always been indifferent to women, had finally come to his senses and found a beautiful woman to accompany him.
"Xiaoyu!" Finally, a surprised voice dropped a bombshell in the crowd. Wu Qianru rushed out, staring at Mu Xiaoyu in disbelief. She had painstakingly prepared for tonight's banquet. Before Mu Xiaoyu appeared, she felt like a queen of the dance floor, but standing next to Mu Xiaoyu, she suddenly felt like a pheasant adorned with beautiful feathers, utterly vulgar...
"Qianru!" Mu Xiaoyu nodded gracefully, smiling as she looked at Wu Qianru. The people surrounding her and Li Chenxu were already whispering among themselves, expressing their amazement at her! She enjoyed this feeling; this time, she wanted to announce to the world that she, Mu Xiaoyu, had returned!
