The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 375 Bai Luo's Apology

Chapter 375 Bai Luo's Apology

If Mu Xiaoyu were to refuse Bai Luo now, given her current state, it would likely attract Bai Luo's attention, or rather, the attention of the Bai family.

Moreover, she also wanted to know what Bai Luo wanted to say to her.

So Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Li Chenxu, and seeing that he nodded without changing his expression, she agreed to Bai Luo's request.

Because of Bai Luo's unexpected appearance, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's original plan to take a walk outside was canceled, and the three of them went straight back to the villa.

It was already very late, and the villa was quiet. When they returned, Mu Xiaoyu's mother was already asleep.

After Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu dismissed the maids, they took Bai Luo directly to the study.

In the past, Bai Luo was most afraid of speaking in front of Li Chenxu. If it were in the past, Bai Luo would definitely have found a way to get Mu Xiaoyu to call Li Chenxu out at this time.

But this time, she didn't.

However, it was obvious that Bai Luo was still somewhat afraid of Li Chenxu. Even in the dead of winter, beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands, placed at her sides, trembled slightly.

Mu Xiaoyu witnessed everything. After all, Bai Luo was her best friend, and she couldn't bear to see her like this. She took two steps forward and held Bai Luo's hand to comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid. Although Brother Shen Xu doesn't talk much in front of you and seems a bit fierce, he's just an ordinary person. There's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, I'm here. What's there to be afraid of?"

As soon as she uttered the last sentence, Bai Luo immediately looked at Mu Xiaoyu, and the next second, tears streamed down her face without warning.

Bai Luo's appearance was completely unexpected by Mu Xiaoyu. She stared at Bai Luo blankly for a few seconds, then seemed to suddenly realize something and hurriedly wiped away the tears on Bai Luo's face, saying in a flustered manner, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you had something to tell me? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Luo shook her head repeatedly. Looking at Mu Xiaoyu holding her hand, she cried and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

She kept repeating the words "I'm sorry," which made Mu Xiaoyu instantly understand why Bai Luo was crying.

She had always suspected that Bai Luo was involved in the things the Bai family did, but from a friend's perspective, and selfishly, Mu Xiaoyu was unwilling to believe that Bai Luo had intended to harm her.

If, as she had previously suspected, Bai Luo had been kept in the dark by the Bai family from the very beginning and knew nothing about this matter, then she was probably only just finding out, which was why she was so emotional.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Xiaoyu wiped away Bai Luo's tears one by one, and then sighed and said, "Luo Luo, don't cry. I believe you won't do anything to betray me. Just tell me, what happened, okay?"

At this point, Mu Xiaoyu was willing to believe Bai Luo, but this matter was not just about her alone. So, before the truth of many things came to light, Mu Xiaoyu would not bring up Bai Ye and the Bai family. She wanted to hear what Bai Luo had to say to her.

Fortunately, Bai Luo was not a particularly fragile person. After crying, she quickly calmed down after hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words.

She nodded, choking back tears. She glanced at Mu Xiaoyu first, then looked at Li Chenxu, and suddenly hesitated.

"Brother Shenxu, you can go out first. Luoluo and I will be alone for a while."

"Yes, just call me if you need anything."

Li Chenxu did not forcefully ask him to stay. After saying this, he left the study after seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod.

In an instant, only Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Luo remained in the study.

"Lolo, can you tell me now what exactly happened?"

Bai Luo responded with a soft "hmm" upon hearing this. She didn't look up at Mu Xiaoyu, but instead kept her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

"Sister Xiaoyu, do you still remember when we first met?"

"I remember you said you were a loyal fan of my books back then, and a few days later you invited me to your home. But the purpose of that visit was to talk about my father. Before that, I also learned that the old man Bai, whom I had met once before, was actually your grandfather. Fate is truly a wonderful thing."

Recalling what had just happened, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes and brows softened considerably. In this world, not many people would be unhappy just because someone else likes them.

Mu Xiaoyu was just an ordinary person, nothing more. She would be happy because others liked her; she still clearly remembered Bai Luo's intense affection for her back then.

That's why she didn't want to believe Bai Luo would harm her.

Looking at the tenderness in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes and brows, Bai Luo felt an even greater tightness in her throat. She took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Xiaoyu, apart from when I said I liked you and was your fan, everything else was fake, all fake."

Bai Luo only learned about this when she went back today. She had always thought that her brother and grandfather, like her, genuinely liked Mu Xiaoyu and truly thought Mu Xiaoyu was good, which was why they helped Mu Xiaoyu and were kind to her.

But all of this was fake. They were just doing this on purpose to achieve their own goals, and they even took advantage of her friendship with Mu Xiaoyu!

The moment she learned the truth, anger, disappointment, and sadness filled Bai Luo's mind. Without much thought, she ran straight to find Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu was still as kind and gentle to her as before, and the overwhelming guilt almost overwhelmed her.

Bai Luo couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was about to speak again, she quickly continued, "Sister Xiaoyu, it seems that Grandpa and my older brother are collaborating with others to harm you. I don't know who they are collaborating with yet, but don't worry, I will definitely find out everything. There are many things I don't know, but I don't want you to be deceived or hurt anymore. So, I don't ask for your forgiveness. After all, I am also a member of the Bai family."

If Bai Luo was kept in the dark from beginning to end, then the Bai family must have known about her kidnapping and the use of her to threaten Mu Xiaoyu. In fact, it's quite possible that the Bai family orchestrated that whole thing.

Thinking about this, Mu Xiaoyu felt a chill and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Bai Luo.

However, given the current situation, she still couldn't simply believe Bai Luo based on her words alone.
