The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 189 I just wanted to call you

Chapter 189 I just wanted to call you

When dealing with people she disliked, Mu Xiaoyu was utterly ruthless, her words dripping with sarcasm and ridicule, giving Xu Sulin no chance to speak. Then, with a bang, she slammed the phone down.

In the past, when people like Xu Sulin called her to cause trouble, she would only feel annoyed. Even if she had other emotions, they would never be good ones.

At the time, Mu Xiaoyu only blamed those who caused her trouble. But as she just said, compared to now, she might have been a bit cowardly before, which is why people like Xu Sulin and Wu Qianru thought she was easy to bully and caused her trouble time and time again.

But things are really different now. Perhaps it was Li Chenxu's affection for her that gave her confidence, or perhaps it was because she had truly changed. Now, when faced with this situation, Mu Xiaoyu felt that what she had just said was very satisfying.

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

However, she was still curious about what Xu Sulin had just said, so after hesitating for a few seconds, Mu Xiaoyu decided to call Li Chenxu.

The phone was answered after only a few rings; Li Chenxu always answered Mu Xiaoyu's calls very quickly.

"Brother Chenxu, are you busy right now?"

Mu Xiaoyu's voice was a little soft. Actually, she regretted it a little when she made the call. This morning, before Li Chenxu left for work, he said that he had an important meeting and might not be able to come back to have lunch with her.

At that moment, Mu Xiaoyu acted impulsively and completely forgot about the matter. Only now, upon hearing Li Chenxu's voice, did she remember it.

"I'm fine, what's wrong that you're calling at this hour?"

Li Chenxu's voice was very gentle, and the surroundings seemed quiet. However, he was currently in a conference room. The executives in the conference room exchanged bewildered glances when they heard Li Chenxu gently say that everything was fine. Although everyone in the company knew that Li Chenxu doted on Mu Xiaoyu to the core, they were still somewhat surprised that Li Chenxu would say that everything was fine during such an important meeting. Seeing the cold and aloof Li Chenxu outside being so doting on someone was still quite surprising.

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there seemed to be no sound from Li Chenxu's end. She then told Li Chenxu about Xu Sulin's phone call earlier. She spoke slowly and carefully, and her tone didn't show any anger; on the contrary, it seemed like she was watching a joke.

This Mu Xiaoyu is completely different from before.

If Mu Xiaoyu had encountered a similar situation in the past, she would have immediately called Li Chenxu to question him, instead of acting as if they were casually discussing the weather.

Li Chenxu was initially displeased when he heard Xu Sulin's call, but he relaxed when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's casual and relaxed tone.

However, the occasion was not suitable for him to talk about the previous matter, so after a few seconds of silence, Li Chenxu suddenly stood up, gestured to everyone in the conference room to pause the meeting, and then quickly left the conference room.

Li Chenxu walked to the corridor outside the conference room, and only after everyone was gone did he speak to Mu Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone: "Xiaoyu, I want to ask you first, what do you think of... the people from the Li family? If... they still don't want to accept you, what do you plan to do? Will you be sad?"

In truth, Mu Xiaoyu had more or less guessed that what Xu Sulin was about to say was related to her and the Li family. Now, Li Chenxu's words confirmed her previous thoughts. Upon hearing this, she immediately smiled and then said helplessly, "Of course I'll be sad. They are your family, and I also want them to accept that I like them. But... if I've tried my best and still can't make it work, then it doesn't matter..."

"Anyway, I'm with you, not with them. I've tried my best, and as for the result, I have a clear conscience."

Mu Xiaoyu's answer seemed to be both expected and unexpected to Li Chenxu. After only a few seconds of stunned silence, Li Chenxu burst out laughing.

With a hint of ease and pleasure, he gave a soft "hmm" and this time he didn't hide anything from Mu Xiaoyu, telling her directly what happened when he returned to the Li family last time.

He had actually seen the changes in Mu Xiaoyu these past few days. To be honest, he had thought too much about Mu Xiaoyu. These changes were nothing to Mu Xiaoyu.

However, just as Mu Xiaoyu had just said, hearing Li Chenxu recount what happened that day, Mu Xiaoyu still felt somewhat disappointed. After all, they were Li Chenxu's family, and the last time she left the Li family, their attitude towards her had clearly improved...

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh and complained to Li Chenxu, "I don't like talking badly about others behind their backs, but I don't know what's going on in Xu Sulin's head. You say she likes you, and she occasionally does some crazy things, which I can understand, but... isn't that a bit too stupid... Is she doing this to become the person you hate the most?"

The girl's playful complaint made Li Chenxu chuckle. He realized that he was really growing to like Mu Xiaoyu more and more. Before, he clung to Mu Xiaoyu tightly, but through their repeated hurting each other, their initial feelings were gradually being worn away. It was only because his feelings for Mu Xiaoyu were holding them together that his feelings for her didn't deepen.

But now, Mu Xiaoyu is like a treasure to him, bringing him something new every day and allowing him to discover yet another good quality in her. He's growing to like her more and more, things the old Mu Xiaoyu couldn't do…

At this moment, Li Chenxu was incredibly grateful for his initial persistence. Even though there had been hurt and misunderstandings between them in the past, luckily, after weathering all the storms, they finally saw the rainbow...

"Xiaoyu..."

Mu Xiaoyu was complaining when she suddenly heard Li Chenxu call her. Thinking that Li Chenxu was impatient, she immediately stopped complaining and asked in a slightly uneasy voice, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm being a bit nagging?"

"No, I just... wanted to call you..."
