Chapter 425 What are the next plans?
Mu Xiaoyu felt that everything Bai Ye had shown in front of her before was an illusion; this person must be a seasoned player in love.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Xiaoyu's prejudice against Bai Ye deepened even more, but she didn't show it on her face. Upon hearing this, she even gave Bai Ye a slight smile and said, "In that case, I'll order."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't have much of an appetite, so she just ordered a few dishes at random.
After ordering, she didn't say anything, pretending to be bored as she looked out the window.
Bai Ye wasn't a talkative person either. The two of them had actually spent time alone together once or twice before, but each time they were alone, they never spoke more than five sentences.
Mu Xiaoyu thought that this time would be the same as before, but to her surprise, Bai Ye spoke up just a few minutes after the waiter left.
"What are Miss Mu's plans for the future?"
"Plan? What plan?"
Mu Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow at Bai Ye, actually understanding what Bai Ye meant, but pretending not to know.
She looks much younger than her actual age, and her feigned innocent and bewildered expression adds a touch of adorable naivety, while also possessing the unique charm of a woman her age, making her incredibly beautiful.
From the moment they came in, many people were looking at her, and now, even more people are looking at her.
Bai Ye's gaze deepened, but he remained outwardly composed. He slightly curled his lips and said, "Now that Miss Mu has divorced Li Chenxu, and Miss Mu is still young, what are your plans regarding your career or marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately laughed. She raised an eyebrow at Bai Ye and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Bai, when did you start talking so roundaboutly? Didn't you say you wanted to pursue me? Well, let me tell you clearly, no matter what I plan to do, Mr. Bai, you are not in my consideration."
A distant yet assertive attitude is more likely to arouse a man's desire to conquer.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what Bai Ye really thought of her, but in her opinion, doing this was the right thing to do.
As Mu Xiaoyu had expected, Bai Ye immediately smiled upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words.
He tilted his head slightly, sizing up Mu Xiaoyu.
In fact, Bai Ye and Li Chenxu are both men with a very strong aura. However, compared to Li Chenxu's cold and aloof demeanor, Bai Ye is more composed and unsmiling. The two seem similar, but in reality, they are quite different.
But now, Mu Xiaoyu feels that Bai Ye and Li Chenxu are really alike.
She felt a little annoyed by Bai Ye's scrutiny, and her brows furrowed involuntarily: "Mr. Bai, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to keep staring at me like that?"
"Miss Mu, isn't it perfectly normal for a man to take a second look at a woman he likes?"
"But these conditions are based on the other party's willingness, which I am not willing to do now."
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Bai Ye calmly, her heart growing increasingly agitated. She had originally planned to start with Bai Ye and find a way to be with him, but now it seemed that, apart from Li Chenxu, she really had no patience for any other man.
Seeing the undisguised annoyance on Mu Xiaoyu's face, Bai Ye smiled and shook his head. However, this time, he did not continue to stare at Mu Xiaoyu as before, but changed the subject: "The Li family's matter has not been resolved yet. Now that Miss Mu and Li Chenxu are divorced, do you still intend to get involved in the Li family's affairs?"
"You've already said I'm divorced from Li Chenxu, why should I get involved?"
Mu Xiaoyu spoke naturally, then looked directly at Bai Ye and continued, "Mr. Bai, I just want to invite you to a meal to return the takeout I ordered at noon. I'm not here to talk about Li Chenxu or the Li family. If you insist on continuing this conversation, I don't think there's any need for us to have this meal together."
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't surprised that Bai Ye brought up this topic, regardless of whether Li Chenxu's divorce was truly to protect her. Simply put, as of now, she couldn't sever ties with Li Chenxu.
Bai Ye definitely wants to figure out her current stance. If she still wants to help Li Chenxu, Bai Ye will definitely start by targeting her and then deal with Li Chenxu.
But if she no longer helps Li Chenxu as before, and not only that, but Li Chenxu also has no feelings for her, then her usefulness on this side will be greatly reduced.
Despite Mu Xiaoyu's impatience, Bai Ye maintained a smile. Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Mu, don't be angry. I was just asking casually... After dinner, would you like to go out for a walk? The weather has warmed up a lot recently, so you can go out more."
"No need, I need to go back and finish my manuscript."
Mu Xiaoyu refused without hesitation, and Bai Ye did not force her, but just made a regretful expression.
Soon after, the dishes Mu Xiaoyu ordered arrived. She didn't say anything more and ate her meal in silence.
Unfortunately, even this meal was not a peaceful one for her.
During dinner, someone from the Li family's old house called.
When she saw the caller ID, Mu Xiaoyu almost couldn't help but swear. She knew she would face many things after divorcing Li Chenxu, but the recent events and the various nasty comments online had made her extremely irritable.
The phone at the Li family's old house is now like adding fuel to the fire.
Having experienced so much, even if Mu Xiaoyu was feeling agitated inside, she quickly calmed down on the surface. She made an apologetic gesture to Bai Ye, and then answered the phone.
"Hey……"
"Mu Xiaoyu! You actually divorced Shen Xu!"
On the other end of the phone was Grandpa Li's strong voice. For some reason, as soon as Mu Xiaoyu heard Grandpa Li's voice, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey Grandpa Li, didn't you want me to divorce Li Chenxu back then? Now that I'm divorced, what, aren't you happy?"
Now that she has divorced Li Chenxu, she no longer needs to be as polite to the Li family as she was before, just because of Li Chenxu.
If she's unhappy, she'll argue with anyone, even Grandpa Li.
"Mu Xiaoyu! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're divorcing Shen Xu now just to protect yourself! Just you wait, I will definitely not let you have your way!"
