The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Did the Bai family say something to you in Chapter 160?

Did the Bai family say something to you in Chapter 160?

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu looked down at Mu Xiaoyu beside him, and seeing the teasing look in her eyes, he shrugged innocently: "I think I was already very gentle when I was dealing with Bai Luo just now."

Mu Xiaoyu trusted Li Chenxu. Having been with him for so long, she knew his true nature very well. Li Chenxu also knew how good Bai Luo was to him, so just now... compared to others, Li Chenxu was indeed much gentler.

However, precisely because of this, and recalling Bai Luo's reaction earlier, Mu Xiaoyu was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say, and in the end, her gaze towards Li Chenxu was filled with helplessness.

Mu Xiaoyu rushed back to have dinner with Li Chenxu. By the time she got home, it was already close to eight o'clock. The two chatted for a while before sitting down at the table to eat.

Today, Mu Xiaoyu received so much information that she was exhausted, both physically and mentally. In addition, she didn't eat much to begin with, and now that it was dinnertime, her stomach was growling.

Even though I'm eating right now, my stomach is growling loudly.

At first, Mu Xiaoyu could shamelessly pretend that she didn't know anything, but as she kept calling out, her face turned red uncontrollably.

She subconsciously looked in Li Chenxu's direction. He seemed unaware that Mu Xiaoyu's stomach was rumbling. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu looking over, his handsome face was full of confusion.

"Xiaoyu, did you hear something too?"

Mu Xiaoyu coughed lightly, covering her mouth, and stammered, "Wh...what...I didn't hear anything..."

Clearly, she was acting guilty, but Li Chenxu didn't expose her. Seeing this, the corners of his thin lips curled into a mischievous smile. The next second, he looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a puzzled expression, then turned to the maids serving him and asked, "Was that sound you made just now?"

Anyone with eyes could see that those sounds were clearly made by Mu Xiaoyu. But Li Chenxu pretended to know nothing. The maid, being clever, saw Li Chenxu's question and, wanting to laugh but not daring to, stammered, "No...no, it wasn't..."

"that is you?"

Li Chenxu then asked another maid, looking innocent and puzzled. Anyone who didn't know better would really think he was just asking a simple question.

Mu Xiaoyu felt as if she were in a steamer, and seeing that another maid was about to speak, she quickly tapped Li Chenxu's bowl with her chopsticks and said in a serious tone, "Alright! It's just... just a little noise, why ask about it!"

"A little noise? But... I think it's because someone is hungry. I was going to ask the housekeeper to prepare some more food so that no one goes hungry."

Li Chenxu looked completely innocent, but Mu Xiaoyu was so thoroughly annoyed by her teasing that she felt like she was being steamed alive.

She was at her wit's end and afraid that Li Chenxu would continue to ask, so Mu Xiaoyu quickly lowered her voice and said to Li Chenxu, "Brother Chenxu, please don't ask anymore. Just now... just now, that sound was mine!"

"You posted this?"

Li Chenxu looked 'shocked', then looked Mu Xiaoyu up and down with an indescribable expression, and said with a conflicted look, "Xiaoyu, your appetite is really increasing... You used to eat so little, but you just ate more than a bowl of rice... Could it be..."

For some unknown reason, Li Chenxu suddenly moved closer to Mu Xiaoyu and continued in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Could it be... that you're pregnant..."

Actually, Li Chenxu was just joking. After all, for Mu Xiaoyu's health, Li Chenxu would have the family doctor come to the house every week to check on Mu Xiaoyu. They had just had a check-up a few days ago, so if she were pregnant, it would have been detected then.

Normally, Mu Xiaoyu might have been able to tell that these were all jokes from Li Chenxu, but this time, she had just received so much huge and shocking news that she hadn't fully processed it yet.

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, she immediately recalled what Old Master Bai had said to her before.

At this point, Mu Xiaoyu still believed in Li Chenxu, but... she needed an explanation from him.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's originally embarrassed face immediately became calm.

Li Chenxu took in the changing emotions on her face. The smile on his lips gradually faded. Li Chenxu glanced indifferently at the maids beside him and said calmly, "You may all leave now."

The maids clearly didn't understand why the sweet atmosphere between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had suddenly faded, but that was beyond their control.

So upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, the maids in the dining room withdrew within a minute.

In an instant, only Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu remained.

"Xiaoyu, when you went to the Bai family, did they say anything to you?"

Li Chenxu spoke at this moment, his tone calm, without anger or any other emotion.

But for some reason, Mu Xiaoyu clearly sensed that Li Chenxu... seemed angry...

In fact, most of the time, Mu Xiaoyu is able to understand Li Chenxu from her perspective. But right now, she simply can't.

Li Chenxu's expression clearly showed that he was angry that she had been hiding something from him. Regardless of whether what the Bai family told her today was true or false, one thing was certain: Li Chenxu was definitely hiding something from her.

He was the one who kept it from her first, but now he's still angry with her.

Mu Xiaoyu was momentarily confused, and her expression darkened slightly. She bit her lip and stared intently at Li Chenxu, remaining silent for a few seconds before finally speaking, "They did tell me some things... Brother Chenxu, is there anything you want to tell me now?"

"I think the Bai family has told you everything."

Without any hesitation, Li Chenxu spoke directly. Actually, he had only vaguely suspected that Mu Xiaoyu's visit to the Bai family today might not be so simple, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's suddenly stiff expression just now, he was almost immediately certain.

He did indeed conceal that matter from her first. Even if he said it was for Mu Xiaoyu's own good, she probably wouldn't listen to his explanation. Anyway, he did it, so he wasn't afraid of this day coming.
