Chapter 532: A Man Who Knows When to Advance and When to Retreat

So before Li Chenxu could speak, Mu Xiaoyu pulled him around and tried to leave.

But Li Chenxu had already prepared a 'surprise' for her, so how could he leave so easily? Seeing this, he pulled Mu Xiaoyu into his arms and said, "Let's go in. It's just a meal, nothing will happen."

"No, how can I go in dressed like this?"

Mu Xiaoyu muttered to herself. She wasn't particularly concerned about this aspect, but today was different. No matter what Li Chenxu said, she just wouldn't go in.

Li Chenxu never expected Mu Xiaoyu to suddenly become so stubborn. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Xiaoyu, are you still angry with me?"

"No! I just don't want to go in. Look at how everyone inside is dressed. If I go in like this, I'll lose all face."

Li Chenxu didn't speak. He stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a few seconds to make sure she wasn't really angry with him. Then he sighed, pulled her towards the shopping mall next door, and said as they walked, "How about we buy some clothes before we go in? Assistant Lin has already made a reservation, and some dishes were also ordered in advance. It would be a shame if we didn't go in."

Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat satisfied with the outcome. Upon hearing this, she snorted twice and glared at Li Chenxu with a somewhat aggrieved look, saying, "Do you know how fierce you looked just now?"

"how come!"

Li Chenxu was taken aback by Mu Xiaoyu's aggrieved look. Recalling what had just happened, he did seem a little stern, but it was all out of urgency, and he had absolutely no intention of blaming Mu Xiaoyu.

Afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would misunderstand, Li Chenxu quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her cheek in a conciliatory manner. Just as he was about to apologize, he suddenly heard someone calling Mu Xiaoyu's name.

"Miss Mu?"

The two turned around and saw Li Chengnan and his secretary standing not far behind them. They appeared to be shopping as well; Li Chengnan's secretary was carrying a bag of groceries.

The two had just finished their phone call when they suddenly bumped into each other here; it was quite a coincidence, to say the least.

However, neither Li Chenxu nor Mu Xiaoyu liked this coincidence. As soon as Li Chengnan appeared, the smile on Li Chenxu's face vanished instantly, and his eyes were filled with obvious indifference when he looked at Li Chengnan.

Mu Xiaoyu felt a little awkward, but still gave Li Chengnan a polite smile and kept a proper distance as she greeted him, "Mr. Li, are you here to buy something too? What a coincidence."

Li Chengnan smiled, glanced at the indifferent Li Chenxu, seemingly not taking it to heart, and said, "Yes, it's been a while since I've bought clothes, so I bought myself a few outfits and also bought some things for the two elderly people at home."

This statement clearly indicates that Li Chengnan's appearance here was purely coincidental and had absolutely no other meaning.

Li Chengnan is not only intelligent, but also has extremely high emotional intelligence. He can see the feelings between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu, as well as Li Chenxu's strong possessiveness towards Mu Xiaoyu, and he also understands the other party's hostility towards him.

Now that he had said that, Li Chenxu's attitude towards him improved slightly, but even so, Li Chenxu's expression was still not good.

Mu Xiaoyu felt that the current situation was too awkward. Just as she was thinking of an excuse to leave quickly, she heard Li Chengnan say again, "I have some things to do, so I won't disturb Miss Mu and Mr. Li any longer."

After saying that, he smiled at the two of them and left with his secretary.

He was a man of impeccable manners and manners, a person who was extremely polite. Mu Xiaoyu simply couldn't dislike him at all.

No sooner had Li Chengnan left than Li Chenxu sneered, "Hypocritical."

Mu Xiaoyu was speechless after being choked by Li Chenxu's words. She wanted to retort, but then she thought that if she did, given Li Chenxu's personality, the two of them would definitely start arguing, which would only cause unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu simply said, "Alright, let's not talk about others anymore. I'm starving. Let's go buy clothes first, and then we'll hurry up and go eat."

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu seemed genuinely hungry, Li Chenxu didn't say anything more.

After all, the main purpose of this trip was not shopping. Mu Xiaoyu has been busy with her comics lately and doesn't have the time to go shopping. So after entering the mall, she randomly picked a store, bought a simple and decent outfit, and went to the restaurant.

By the time they finished buying the clothes, it was already completely dark outside.

The restaurant that Li Chenxu had booked was more of a French-style romantic restaurant, so the lighting was not as bright as that of a typical restaurant. Instead, it was a warm, ambiguous yellow light. The lighting was dim, and once inside, you could only vaguely see the interior decoration, which was very beautiful.

Mu Xiaoyu hadn't been to a restaurant like this in a long time, and sure enough, the moment she entered, she felt right at home.

She couldn't help but gently tug at Li Chenxu's hand and whispered, "It's just dinner, why did you come here?"

Although it sounded like a complaint, Mu Xiaoyu's happiness was obvious.

Li Chenxu curled his lips into a smile, bent down and whispered in Mu Xiaoyu's ear, "Don't you like it?"

"Of course I do!"

Knowing that Li Chenxu would laugh at her again, Mu Xiaoyu quickly said something, but couldn't help glaring at Li Chenxu at the end.

Li Chenxu smiled and said nothing. He took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and walked directly to the seat to sit down.

Lin Zhu had booked an excellent spot; they were currently seated on the second floor of the restaurant, by the window. To the left, they could see the beautiful night view of Beijing, and to the right, they could appreciate the restaurant's intimate atmosphere. Dining in such a restaurant would definitely be a delightful experience.

After taking their seats, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but wink at Li Chenxu and asked with a smile, "Brother Chenxu, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me? Are you planning to give me some kind of surprise?"

"It's good to know, but if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise."

Li Chenxu felt somewhat helpless. He himself was not a romantic person, and Mu Xiaoyu was not a romantic person either. Who would tell the other person about all the surprises they had prepared?

Mu Xiaoyu snorted twice upon hearing this and said, "I have no idea what surprise you've prepared, but I'm really looking forward to it. After all, it's really not easy for someone as dense as you to prepare a surprise for me. What surprise is it? Hurry up and have someone bring it out..."

Mu Xiaoyu is now relentlessly criticizing Li Chenxu, leaving Li Chenxu both amused and exasperated.
