Chapter 515: Looking for Trouble

Li Chenxu wasn't wearing the same clothes he wore with Mu Xiaoyu earlier that day. He had changed into a black outfit with some dark patterns, which made him look more casual but also gave him a more dashing air.

This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had seen Li Chenxu dressed like this, and she was taken aback. When she asked him a question, she saw a slightly displeased look in Li Chenxu's eyes.

Ignoring Li Chenxu's struggles, Mu Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward and intimately took Li Chenxu's arm, smiling as she said to Li Chengnan and Xu Shu in front of her, "This is my husband, Li Chenxu."

"Who is your husband?"

Li Chenxu did not refute Mu Xiaoyu in front of Xu Shu and Li Chengnan, but instead leaned close to Mu Xiaoyu's ear and whispered something.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't take Li Chenxu's words to heart at all. She just winked at him and then looked at Li Chengnan and the others.

"I've heard of President Li before, and meeting him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."

Li Chengnan extended his hand to Li Chenxu, who shook it. The two were of similar height, but their auras were completely different. If one were to describe them, one was like fire and the other like water, but undeniably, both were very attractive.

Neither of the men were talkative, and after saying this, they fell silent.

Mu Xiaoyu and Xu Shu walked ahead. Because they had made a reservation in advance, the group went directly to the private room and sat down.

The most important reason Xu Shu suggested having dinner together this time was to help Li Chengnan, Mu Xiaoyu, and SQ get to know each other better, especially since Li Chengnan mentioned that he was a fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books.

So at the beginning, everyone's conversation revolved around Mu Xiaoyu's book.

"Actually, before I met Ms. Mu, I always thought that the person who created these works was a man, but I didn't expect it to be Ms. Mu. Looking back, I was really too narrow-minded before."

Li Chengnan's words were measured and tactful, and they didn't come across as flattering at all. Mu Xiaoyu also had a good impression of Li Chengnan.

Hearing him say that, she smiled slightly and was about to speak when Li Chenxu said, "Compared to ordinary women, Xiaoyu has a much broader perspective and has experienced a lot, so her works are naturally different from others. I just heard that Mr. Li is also a fan of Xiaoyu's books. I wonder what Mr. Li thinks of Xiaoyu's current comics?"

Li Chenxu's question seemed gentle, but it was actually somewhat aggressive.

In such situations, many people claim to be fans, but it's often just a polite formality. If Li Chenxu's question reveals that the person is only saying it out of politeness and isn't actually a fan of Mu Xiaoyu, it would be quite awkward.

However, Li Chengnan showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Upon hearing this, his expression remained unchanged, and he even chuckled softly. He glanced at Li Chenxu, and finally his gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyu. He slowly said, "Miss Mu's current work is a significant improvement over her previous one. Although I am a fan of Miss Mu, I must say that her previous comics had quite a few flaws, and her writing style was rather immature, though the plot was excellent. This time, the plot is tight and doesn't feel padded like typical comics. In particular, the scenes between the male lead and the villain are almost flawless. As a fan, I am truly delighted."

Li Chengnan spoke calmly and methodically, yet his words were clear and logical. From this alone, it was evident that Li Chengnan had definitely read Mu Xiaoyu's books.

These words surprised not only Mu Xiaoyu, but even Xu Shu.

Fortunately, they were all seasoned people who had seen a lot. Seeing that Li Chengnan was a true fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books, the group discussed some of the content in Mu Xiaoyu's comics, and Mu Xiaoyu also gave a little hint about her new book.

As soon as the news broke, Li Chengnan's interest was noticeably greater than before. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu with gentle eyes and said, "I've been looking forward to Miss Mu's new book. I hope that with the release of this new book, Miss Mu will consider our company for various collaborations. Of course, if you could tell me about the new book, I would be even more eager to read it."

"The food is served, let's eat first."

Just as Mu Xiaoyu was about to speak, Li Chenxu spoke up calmly. When he spoke, he didn't look at Li Chengnan, but only glanced at Mu Xiaoyu indifferently.

That one glance was enough to tell Mu Xiaoyu that he was jealous.

Of course, this is just Mu Xiaoyu's understanding.

So Mu Xiaoyu simply gave Li Chengnan her usual smile and didn't say anything more, quietly eating her food.

She wasn't someone who enjoyed social gatherings. Although she had attended quite a few with Li Chenxu before, she still hadn't gotten used to it.

She barely spoke after that, while Li Chenxu and Li Chengnan chatted casually.

However, it's unclear whether Li Chenxu has a problem with Li Chengnan, but whenever Li Chenxu talks to Li Chengnan, he always likes to find fault with him.

Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu might be a little jealous, but she had a good impression of Li Chengnan, and since they were currently working together, Mu Xiaoyu didn't want any conflicts or disagreements between Li Chenxu and Li Chengnan.

So while the two of them were eating, she secretly tugged at Li Chenxu's hand and whispered, "Don't talk about Mr. Li, he didn't do anything to you."

"What? Are you feeling distressed?"

Li Chenxu glanced at Mu Xiaoyu and said calmly. At this moment, if Mu Xiaoyu said "words," Li Chenxu would probably really go berserk.

Now, Li Chenxu is like a god to Mu Xiaoyu, the person she cherishes and wants to please. So Mu Xiaoyu quickly coaxed him, saying, "How could that be? Don't you know who I care about and who I like? It's just that this is the first time we've met. If things get too awkward, it won't be good for our future cooperation. I know you're the most generous person, so please let Mr. Li off the hook, okay?"

Li Chenxu didn't speak, but just hummed, which could be considered a reluctant agreement.

Later, Li Chenxu actually listened to Mu Xiaoyu's advice and stopped causing trouble for Li Chengnan. At the dinner table, everyone occasionally talked about their own affairs and discussed recent current events, and things were peaceful.

Because there weren't many people at this dinner party, and there wasn't any of that typical dinner party culture, everyone finished eating in about two hours.

With Li Chenxu present, Li Chengnan naturally wouldn't offer to take Mu Xiaoyu home. However, when parting with Mu Xiaoyu, he still said to her, "I'm very happy to have worked with Miss Mu this time. I hope there will be another opportunity."
