Chapter 508: I've angered him again.
"The gentleman is still resting. He has handled a lot of things during this period and is much more tired than before."
Lin Zhu truthfully stated that even if he had some illusions about Mu Xiaoyu before, they had now completely disappeared.
Anyone who has witnessed the relationship between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu knows that no matter how many times they break up and get back together, they will probably never be able to leave each other for the rest of their lives.
Mu Xiaoyu hummed in response and said nothing more.
She knew about Lin Zhu's past feelings for her, and that was precisely why keeping her distance from Lin Zhu was the best thing for both of them.
The two parted ways in the elevator, one going up and the other down.
It was well past closing time, and there were only a few scattered people staying in the office building to work overtime.
After what happened to Minister Chen today, they no longer dare to glance at Mu Xiaoyu when they see her. They keep their heads down and obediently do their own work.
Mu Xiaoyu ignored them and ran back to her office with her lunchbox.
Just as Lin Zhu said, Li Chenxu was still fast asleep, covered with the blanket that Mu Xiaoyu had put on him before she left.
Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. She placed the lunchbox on the small coffee table, then walked over to Li Chenxu and gently shook him: "Brother Chenxu, wake up, eat something before you sleep."
Li Chenxu had actually been awake for a while, but he didn't know what Mu Xiaoyu had gone to do. Now, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he slowly opened his eyes, pretending to have just woken up.
She glanced at Mu Xiaoyu in front of her, then her gaze fell on the lunchbox on the coffee table before she asked, "Did you buy dinner for me yourself?"
"Otherwise what? Who else would treat you so well besides me? And I'm the one who kept an eye on the shop to cook it, so I even paid several times more."
After all, it was just some simple porridge and side dishes; even if it cost several times more, it wouldn't be much more. Mu Xiaoyu wasn't worried about the money; she was just saying it casually.
Li Chenxu, however, glanced at Mu Xiaoyu more because of these few words.
The two walked to the coffee table and sat down. Mu Xiaoyu opened the lunchbox and placed all the food in front of Li Chenxu.
I had just finished doing all that when I heard my stomach rumbling.
Immediately, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu looked at each other in bewilderment.
Only then did Mu Xiaoyu realize that she had been so focused on Li Chenxu that she had forgotten about herself. Not only had she not eaten, but even the congee and side dishes she had packed for Li Chenxu were only enough for one person.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed, but didn't want Li Chenxu to notice, so she said, "I've been having some indigestion lately, and my stomach keeps growling."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but gave Mu Xiaoyu a deep look, and it was unclear whether he believed what Mu Xiaoyu said.
Feeling flustered under his gaze, Mu Xiaoyu hurriedly lowered her head and refused to look at Li Chenxu again.
After a short while, the congee in front of them was divided into two portions, one placed in front of Mu Xiaoyu and the other in front of Li Chenxu.
At the same time, Li Chenxu said calmly, "If you didn't eat, you didn't eat. There's no need to pretend in front of me. I've seen what you're like before."
Li Chenxu's tone was indifferent, and it was unclear whether he was concerned about Mu Xiaoyu or just saying it casually.
No matter what, as long as Li Chenxu is even the slightest bit kind to Mu Xiaoyu, that tiny bit of kindness will be magnified countless times, warming her heart and making her truly happy.
She carefully held the small bowl of porridge in her hands and took a small sip. She didn't know if it was because she watched the porridge being made or because the chef at this restaurant was so skilled, but Mu Xiaoyu felt that the porridge tasted even better than the porridge she had drunk before.
She couldn't help but look up at Li Chenxu, grinned at him, and said, "Isn't it delicious? This is the first time I've ever had such delicious porridge."
Li Chenxu paused in his porridge-drinking motion, finding it somewhat amusing. The porridge tasted quite ordinary; he couldn't understand why Mu Xiaoyu found it delicious, especially since she was clearly a picky eater.
However, Li Chenxu didn't say this out loud. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, as long as Mu Xiaoyu likes it and thinks it tastes good, that's enough.
Neither of them were talkative during the meal; they ate quietly. After the meal, Li Chenxu called the cleaning lady in to tidy up the dishes.
"Are we going back now? Or are you going to stay at the company and work overtime?"
Neither of them ate much, and Mu Xiaoyu was thinking of eating something outside.
At this moment, he looked at Li Chenxu with longing eyes and a pleading expression.
Li Chenxu glanced at Mu Xiaoyu indifferently, hummed in agreement, and picked up his coat to put it on.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly ran to Li Chenxu's side, affectionately took his arm, and said in a chattering voice, "Aren't you full yet? How about we go get some beef hot pot? It's chilly today, it'll warm our stomachs up..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chenxu pulled his arm away from Mu Xiaoyu's grasp: "We don't seem to have reached that level of intimacy yet."
Mu Xiaoyu was in high spirits when she suddenly heard Li Chenxu's cold words and was immediately stunned.
Within seconds, she quickly recovered and looked at Li Chenxu with resentment, saying, "Even if we're not a couple, you said we're just bed partners. Other people can hold hands while having casual sex, why can't we? Li Chenxu, are you even a man? You still remember what happened before, how can you be so petty!"
Mu Xiaoyu said that on purpose. She was thinking that either she should let Li Chenxu vent all his anger on her at once, or she should clarify things, which would be better than things remaining as they are now.
Unfortunately, the differences in thinking between men and women are still huge.
While Mu Xiaoyu thought this way, Li Chenxu might not.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu's face immediately darkened: "Mu Xiaoyu, others are others, and I am me. What I want to do is none of your business!"
The sudden change in his tone immediately made Mu Xiaoyu panic. She hurriedly tried to grab Li Chenxu's hand, wanting to explain. But Li Chenxu was truly angry this time, and he simply brushed Mu Xiaoyu aside and quickly left alone.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't chase after him, but just stood there blankly. She looked down at her toes; she had left home in a hurry today and had just casually put on a pair of high heels.
I ran back after buying porridge for Li Chenxu, and the skin on my heels seemed to be chafed a bit. I didn't feel anything at the time, but now it hurts a little.
Actually, this pain is negligible compared to the injuries I've suffered before.
But for some reason, Mu Xiaoyu felt that this time, it hurt much more than before.
