The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 571: Concealment

Chapter 571: Concealment

"I know, you should hurry up and leave, it's not safe if it gets late."

"Remember, I'm not kidding."

Fearing that Mu Xiaoyu might soften her heart, Song Yin repeatedly gave Mu Xiaoyu a few more instructions before leaving.

The moment the door closed, Li Chenxu hugged Mu Xiaoyu from behind. He rested his chin on Mu Xiaoyu's shoulder and gently rubbed it twice, saying in a very aggrieved voice, "You haven't looked at me much since Song Yin came tonight. I've been preparing the beef hot pot for so long, and you haven't said a word."

She looked just like a pitiful little dog, and Mu Xiaoyu's heart softened instantly.

She reached out and patted Li Chenxu's head, and said with a smile, "Don't we see each other every day? Song Yin and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's normal to talk a bit more when we meet. Don't be jealous... Also, the beef hot pot tonight was especially delicious. I just didn't want to praise you in front of Song Yin because I was afraid it would be too cheesy."

"But I feel comfortable praising you in front of outsiders."

Li Chenxu persisted relentlessly, leaving Mu Xiaoyu speechless with rebuttal.

She turned around to look at Li Chenxu, who was almost a head taller than her. Now, with his head drooping, he looked at her. In Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, he was both pitiful and adorable.

"It's my fault. So how do you want me to make it up to you? How about a kiss?"

As she spoke, she cupped Li Chenxu's face in her hands, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek.

Normally, Mu Xiaoyu might have been able to fool Li Chenxu with a kiss. But not now. If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't been there today, and if he hadn't been considerate of her feelings, given Li Chenxu's temper, he would have already kicked Song Yin out or used other means to deal with her.

Today, Li Chenxu suffered a lot of injustice at Song Yin's hands, so a mere kiss is hardly enough for him now.

So he shook his head, bent down, and whispered something in Mu Xiaoyu's ear.

No one knew what he was saying, but Mu Xiaoyu's face clearly turned red instantly.

She pushed him away, glared at Li Chenxu, and stammered, "No..."

How could she possibly agree to such a request!

"Xiaoyu."

Li Chenxu stood still, not approaching Mu Xiaoyu this time, but stubbornly looking at her with the same pitiful eyes as before.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to agree to Li Chenxu's request so easily, especially since Song Yin had reminded her of it when she left. Besides, Li Chenxu's request was really too embarrassing, even though it wasn't uncommon. But... but the two of them hadn't done those things in a long time, and now, after so much time, she still couldn't get over that mental hurdle.

So she reached out and pushed Li Chenxu away, and was about to go upstairs.

At that moment, Li Chenxu suddenly hugged her and kissed her forehead, coaxing her, "Okay, okay, if you don't want it, then don't. Don't be angry, or I'll feel sad."

Unexpectedly, Li Chenxu gave in so quickly, and Mu Xiaoyu looked up at him in surprise. His eyes were clear, showing no sign of reluctance.

If Mu Xiaoyu were to get angry again after Li Chenxu's actions, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

So she kissed Li Chenxu's lips back and said, "Just this once. You can't force me to do things I don't want to do in the future, understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Xiaoyu's words are law. No matter what, Xiaoyu has the final say."

Li Chenxu spoke earnestly, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with genuine sincerity in his eyes.

If someone else heard or saw this, they would probably be so shocked their jaw would drop.

Li Chenxu looks completely henpecked right now.

Who would have thought that the decisive and powerful CEO of the Li Group would be like this in front of his wife?

However, Li Chenxu doesn't care what outsiders think now. As long as Mu Xiaoyu is with him and doesn't leave, nothing else matters.

Mu Xiaoyu had been rushing to finish her manuscript all day and had hardly rested. Her health wasn't good, and coupled with her pregnancy, she felt sleepy very quickly after eating.

I don't know if it's because she's naturally thin, but she didn't show much during her pregnancy. She's almost three months along now, and you can't tell she was ever pregnant at all.

Mu Xiaoyu had wanted to tell Li Chenxu about her pregnancy several times during this period, but for some reason, every time she wanted to say it, she swallowed the words back in the end.

Even now, several months later, Li Chenxu still doesn't know that Mu Xiaoyu is pregnant.

"You take a shower and rest first. I'll go tidy up the things downstairs and then come up."

Li Chenxu kissed Mu Xiaoyu's lips and said softly.

Mu Xiaoyu nodded and was about to go upstairs when she suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed Li Chenxu's hand.

"Brother Shenxu, do you want to have a child now?"

"Of course I want to, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Li Chenxu answered without hesitation. What he didn't tell Mu Xiaoyu was that he desperately wanted a child that belonged to him and Mu Xiaoyu.

However, the two had only recently reconciled, and he was afraid that revealing his true feelings now would scare her, so he didn't say anything.

Mu Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just asking. You know... now that I've entered the entertainment industry, I'm afraid I won't be able to have children anytime soon, you know that?"

The two used to argue frequently about the child, and neither of them would give in on who the child was.

Although things are different now than before, Mu Xiaoyu was still a little worried about Li Chenxu's reaction.

To everyone's surprise, after a moment of silence, Li Chenxu suddenly smiled at her and said, "Of course I know. Now that you've entered the entertainment industry, we won't have children for at least the next year or two. I know all that. It doesn't really matter. Although I really want children, you're more important than children. Xiaoyu, as long as you're by my side, whether we have children or not really doesn't matter."

The moment Li Chenxu uttered those words, Mu Xiaoyu almost told him that she was pregnant.

But in the end, she forced herself to hold back. Firstly, she still wanted to see Li Chenxu's performance again. Secondly, she also wanted to give Li Chenxu a surprise in the future.

A few months ago, when Li Chenxu hadn't returned, Mu Xiaoyu had actually considered having an abortion.

But in the end, she couldn't bear to part with it. It was a life, her child, and she couldn't deprive her child of the right to be born because of her own reasons.

Now, she's glad she didn't abort the child. Hopefully, when the baby is born, things will still be alright between her and Li Chenxu.
