The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 431 Do you still like her?

Chapter 431 Do you still like her?

Li Chenxu learned that Mu Xiaoyu was missing more than ten hours after Mu Xiaoyu was kidnapped by Grandpa Li. After separating from Bai Yefeng, Li Chenxu couldn't help but call Mu Xiaoyu.

That feeling of irritability and panic was something he had never experienced before. He didn't have any ulterior motives for calling Mu Xiaoyu; he wouldn't be foolish enough to get involved in any emotional entanglements with her at this critical juncture.

He simply wanted to hear Mu Xiaoyu's voice.

However, Mu Xiaoyu did not answer his call. Thinking about it, it makes sense. The two of them have already reached this point on the surface. Mu Xiaoyu is too busy hating him to bother with him again and answer his call.

So while calling Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu gradually calmed down. After Mu Xiaoyu didn't answer the last call, he gave up.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye came to their door the very next day.

After moving out of the villa, Li Chenxu went to live in an apartment under his name.

Without being with Mu Xiaoyu, living in even the biggest house would only make him feel lonely and empty. A smaller house would be better for him.

It wasn't surprising that Bai Ye knew where he lived.

However, the moment Li Chenxu opened the door for Bai Ye, he was met with a punch from Bai Ye.

Li Chenxu was completely unprepared for this punch. Even though he reacted quickly, Bai Ye still managed to hit him in the corner of his eye when he dodged it.

The two men already disliked each other, and now that Bai Ye had thrown a punch for no reason, Li Chenxu was immediately enraged. Without saying a word, he swung his fist and punched Bai Ye back.

The two men, not to be outdone, started fighting right there at the door, exchanging punches.

Li Chenxu's place is an upscale residential area. There aren't many people here during the day, and most of them are elderly. The two of them are making such a fuss that they quickly woke up the people on this floor.

Regardless of the reason, it was wrong for the two of them to fight here. The elderly people on this floor rushed over to mediate and called the community security guards. After a lot of fuss, they finally managed to separate Bai Ye and Li Chenxu.

Both of them were prominent figures in society. Even if not everyone in the capital knew them, they were almost certainly familiar with them.

Li Chenxu and Bai Ye couldn't bear to lose face, so after apologizing to the others, they quickly returned to their apartment.

"Tell me, why did you attack me just now?"

Both of them were injured, but at this moment, neither of them had the mind to deal with these things. Li Chenxu didn't even glance at Bai Ye, but sat down on the sofa and said coldly.

Bai Ye stood motionless by the door, not saying a word upon hearing Li Chenxu's words. He simply observed the situation inside Li Chenxu's apartment carefully with his deep eyes. Finally, after finding nothing, he spoke up, "Where did you take Miss Mu?"

Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's name, Li Chenxu immediately looked at Bai Ye, the coldness reflected in his eyes at that moment as terrifying as a poisoned knife.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Li Chenxu, don't play dumb with me. Wasn't it you who contacted Miss Mu last night? Later, Miss Mu refused to answer your calls, so you got angry and imprisoned her, right?"

At that moment, Li Chenxu almost wanted to rush up to Bai Ye, grab his collar, and demand to know what had happened. However, considering that he was now divorced and that the person in front of him was Bai Ye, he had to continue playing the role.

So, Li Chenxu quickly pretended to relax. He leaned back lazily, chuckled, and said, "I admit, I did call Mu Xiaoyu yesterday, but it was about the property, nothing else. I'm with Bai Luo now, why would I be angry with Mu Xiaoyu? But what were you saying at the end? How could I, Li Chenxu, possibly imprison someone? Besides, Mu Xiaoyu is the person you like, how could I possibly harm her?"

Bai Ye didn't speak, but frowned as he looked at Li Chenxu, a hint of annoyance in his eyes. It was clear that he was genuinely worried about Mu Xiaoyu, rather than just looking for an excuse to cause trouble for Li Chenxu. Someone of his personality wouldn't do something so foolish.

"And I have to remind you, if Mu Xiaoyu really is missing now, the most important thing you should do is not stay here and confront me, but send someone to look for her. Not only you, but Mu Xiaoyu and I have only been divorced for a few days. If something happens to Mu Xiaoyu at this critical moment and I do nothing, the public opinion on the Internet will definitely increase rather than decrease, which will not do me any good."

As he spoke, Li Chenxu stood up, walked up to Bai Ye, and looked at him calmly.

The two appeared to be evenly matched in both height and presence. Now that Li Chenxu had suddenly arrived, Bai Ye naturally did not back down.

"What are you still standing here for? Does Mr. Bai want to fight me again?"

Bai Ye didn't move, looking at Li Chenxu with a thoughtful expression. After a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "Li Chenxu, tell me the truth, do you still have feelings for Miss Mu?"

"What do you say?"

Without almost any hesitation, Li Chenxu immediately spoke. He had long anticipated that after his divorce from Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Ye would one day ask him this question, and not only Bai Ye, but many others would ask him as well. He was already prepared to answer it.

So, seeing Bai Ye's furrowed brows in deep thought, I continued, "Actually, I don't want to discuss these issues with Mr. Bai right now. After all, Mu Xiaoyu's whereabouts are currently unknown. If something really happens to her, I'll be the first to suffer, not you. However, considering that you are Bai Luo's brother and that we are currently in a cooperative relationship, I'll tell you anyway."

"If I still had even the slightest feeling for Mu Xiaoyu, I would never have divorced her, much less be with Bai Luo. We've been married for many years, and what Mu Xiaoyu did to me in the past few years was enough to slowly drain my feelings for her. Now there's Bai Luo... Bai Luo is a very obedient girl, and more importantly, she cherishes my feelings for her. Compared to that, do you think I would still like Mu Xiaoyu?"
