The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 709: I really like you

Chapter 709: I really like you

"Impossible! I don't believe it at all."

Mu Xiaoyu pouted, looking at Li Chenxu's somewhat guilty appearance, which was clearly the look of someone who had done something wrong and was about to be caught. It would be strange if she believed that Li Chenxu was innocent.

But she couldn't be bothered to argue about it. They'd slept together more than once, so why make such a fuss? If others knew, they'd probably say she was being dramatic.

"Forget about that. What happened just now? Why do you look so pale?"

As she spoke, she dried her hair and walked to the bedside to blow-dry it.

Thinking about what had just happened, Li Chenxu's eyes darkened. He walked to the bedside, took the hairdryer from Mu Xiaoyu, and dried her hair.

The hairdryer was very quiet, and the two people were close enough that they could both hear each other talking.

"Xu Sulin ran away."

"Ran?"

Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat surprised, and she turned to look at Li Chenxu. Seeing how calm Li Chenxu was, she also calmed down.

"You should have sent someone to look for her, right? Or did you just release her?"

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't quite describe how she felt. Actually, she had told Li Chenxu before not to kill Xu Sulin. These past few days, she had been preoccupied with Li's father's affairs and had completely forgotten about Xu Sulin. Now, thinking about it, she wondered if Li Chenxu had actually harmed Xu Sulin.

She knew that Li Chenxu was ruthless, and if he had already made his move, it would not be good for them if Xu Sulin had escaped.

If this matter gets blown up, the impact on Qin Yi will be far more than just a little.

Mu Xiaoyu was lost in thought, and didn't hear Li Chenxu calling her several times. It wasn't until Li Chenxu turned off the hair dryer and waved his hand in front of her that she finally snapped out of her reverie.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought. I called you several times but you didn't respond."

Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu and said somewhat strangely, "Did you...do anything to Xu Sulin?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Xiaoyu, didn't I already tell you before? There's nothing between Xu Sulin and me."

"That's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about Xu Sulin's escape. Didn't you say you were going to do something to her? You didn't do anything to her, did you?"

"No."

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good. I was just afraid that you might do something to her and then she might run away and hold a grudge against you and take revenge on us."

"Afraid?"

Li Chenxu put the hairdryer aside, gently pulled her into his arms, kissed her forehead, and asked her softly.

Mu Xiaoyu wasn't afraid; she was just worried. After all, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. But if it really came down to it, she wouldn't be afraid of a stupid woman like Xu Sulin.

Not hearing Mu Xiaoyu's reply, Li Chenxu truly thought Mu Xiaoyu was scared. So he thought for a moment, and then spoke to soothe her emotions, saying, "Actually, you don't need to worry about Xu Sulin. She has nothing left now, and even if she really wanted to take revenge, we simply don't have the means."

"Even if she doesn't have the qualifications, it doesn't mean others don't. Have you forgotten how much your dad liked her before?"

Mu Xiaoyu immediately followed up, saying that she hadn't originally thought of Xu Sulin and Li's father together, but when she suddenly heard Qin Yi say that, she remembered the matter.

Actually, she didn't quite understand what was so good about Xu Sulin. It wasn't that she was looking at Xu Sulin with prejudice; it was just that Xu Sulin was really a woman with no talent, and even if her personality wasn't great, she was still a woman with no talent.

Previously, Li's father liked Xu Sulin, and she did so out of consideration for the Xu family. However, when the Xu family fell into decline, Li's father was still willing to hand over control of Li's Group to Xu Sulin. It's hard to believe that anyone would tell you this.

Thinking about all this, and recalling Li's father's strange behavior these past few days, Mu Xiaoyu felt increasingly uneasy. She stepped out of Li Chenxu's embrace, took his hand, and asked him, "Do you think Xu Sulin and Li's father are working together to catch us off guard?"

"Probably not. Before Xu Sulin escaped today, my men were watching her the whole time. She had no chance to contact anyone outside."

The people who guarded Xu Sulin before were all his trusted confidants, handpicked from the best of the best; there could absolutely be no traitor among them.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, glanced at Li Chenxu, and then got into bed and lay down. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Xu Sulin and Li's father.

Xu Sulin wasn't too afraid. Just like Li Chenxu said, the other party was already in such a sorry state that they no longer had the chance to harm them.

However, if Xu Sulin is not caught, he will always be a hidden danger.

Forget about all that. No matter how much she thinks about it, it's Li Chenxu who's in charge of dealing with these things. There's nothing she can do. She might as well make the most of these few days and then go back home to work.

Even if Li Chenxu likes her and loves her, she can't rely on Li Chenxu for everything.

Moreover, in the past two days, Mu Xiaoyu saw news online that her child had been born, and many fans had left messages of blessing for her on her previous Weibo posts.

For the sake of her fans, she needs to quickly recover her health, take care of things at home, and then return to work.

Li Chenxu sat there watching Mu Xiaoyu's back, hesitated for a while, then went to the bathroom to wash up briefly before getting into bed and embracing Mu Xiaoyu from behind.

The two had been sleeping in separate beds before. When Li Chenxu suddenly came over, Mu Xiaoyu was startled. She quickly turned around and kicked Li Chenxu, glaring at him angrily: "Who told you to come up here? Get down. I want to sleep alone."

Her kick was no different from a tickle to Li Chenxu. Although he pretended to be angry, he didn't actually feel angry at all.

Li Chenxu grinned at Mu Xiaoyu, revealing a bright yet somewhat ingratiating smile: "I thought you were already willing to let me sleep with you. The atmosphere between us has improved so much these past two days. And didn't you... already forgive me before?"

"Forgiving you is one thing, but everything else is another. Li Chenxu, I've noticed you're really getting too big for your britches!"

"Xiaoyu... I haven't had a proper night's sleep in days. How about just tonight? Let me sleep with you, and I won't do anything."

As he spoke, he gently wrapped his arm around Mu Xiaoyu's waist again.

It's strange, really. Even though she's had a child, her waist is still incredibly thin, as if she's never given birth.

Feeling a pang of tenderness, Li Chenxu kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips again before she could speak, and said gently, "Xiaoyu, I really like you."
