Chapter 137 I just want to hold you
Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm" but didn't say anything. She... didn't really believe what Li Chenxu was saying at this moment, after all, she had just heard Li Chenxu's last sentence, which was obviously not about work.
However, she trusted Li Chenxu. If he didn't want to tell her, he must have a reason. Besides, judging from Li Chenxu's state just now, he was already upset enough, and she didn't want to cause him any more trouble at this time.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but hug Li Chenxu. Instantly, a faint smell of alcohol filled Mu Xiaoyu's nostrils, not too strong, but not too faint either. She leaned closer to Li Chenxu and sniffed again, finally asking, "Have you been drinking?"
"Drink a little."
Li Chenxu resolved everything regarding Mu Xiaoyu, the magazine, and the media today. Even though the Li family is powerful and influential, it's still important to maintain good relations with the media. After all, in a place like Beijing, having more friends is far better than having more enemies.
Seeing the faint weariness in Li Chenxu's eyes, Mu Xiaoyu felt a pang of heartache. She stepped out of Li Chenxu's embrace and pulled him upstairs, saying, "If you've finished everything, then rest first. It's getting late. Go take a shower first, and I'll give you a little massage when you come out, so you can sleep more comfortably."
Mu Xiaoyu originally wanted to invite a masseuse over, but it was too late now, and waiting for a masseuse would take time, so she decided to give Li Chenxu a massage instead.
Li Chenxu didn't say anything. This man who commanded respect and influence outside was now as docile as a puppy in front of Mu Xiaoyu. It wasn't until the two went upstairs and entered their room that Li Chenxu hugged Mu Xiaoyu from behind.
He rested his chin on Mu Xiaoyu's shoulder and rubbed it gently twice, murmuring, "I don't want to move, I just want to hold you like this."
Her voice carried a hint of coquetry, something rarely heard normally. Even though she's such a grown-up, this childlike behavior is still quite endearing.
Hearing Li Chenxu's tone, Mu Xiaoyu's heart melted instantly. She turned to face Li Chenxu, gently patted his head twice, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go take a shower first? After you shower, you can hug me for as long as you want."
"Xiaoyu, you just got back too. How about... we shower together?"
As Li Chenxu spoke, his lips lingered near Mu Xiaoyu's ear, almost kissing her, his actions extremely suggestive. Mu Xiaoyu was already most susceptible to Li Chenxu's deliberate seduction, and now, after being teased like this, she almost surrendered.
Normally, Mu Xiaoyu might have agreed to Li Chenxu's request. However, Li Chenxu was clearly very tired today. There would be plenty of time for that kind of thing in the future, and she didn't want to overwork Li Chenxu's body.
However, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't say such a thing. Any man would probably feel uncomfortable hearing such words. Especially someone like Li Chenxu, who is cunning and domineering, would definitely prove everything with his actions. In that case, it wouldn't be Li Chenxu who would suffer, but her.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly pushed Li Chenxu to stop him, and muttered softly, "No, you have to go take a shower first, otherwise I won't let you hug me again today, be good."
Li Chenxu never pressured Mu Xiaoyu about these things, and since Mu Xiaoyu was unwilling now, he wouldn't force her. Besides, he was indeed a bit tired tonight, so he didn't dwell on it any longer. He lowered his head, kissed Mu Xiaoyu, and went into the bathroom.
A moment later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, went downstairs to heat up a glass of milk for Li Chenxu, and then came back up.
Li Chenxu takes a shower every day, so he just took a quick shower and came out after a short while.
"There's milk on the table. Drink a glass first, it'll make you sleep more comfortably when you go to bed."
Mu Xiaoyu was about to take a shower when she passed by Li Chenxu and couldn't help but squeeze his hand. Feeling the warmth of his hand, she quickly went into the bathroom before he could react, a typical flirtatious move.
Li Chenxu stared at the bathroom with a mix of amusement and exasperation, listening to the sound of running water coming from inside. In the end, he shook his head helplessly, walked to the table, and drank the warm milk that Mu Xiaoyu had prepared in one gulp.
It's good as it is now. Mu Xiaoyu doesn't have to worry about anything except his work. Every day when he comes home, the two of them can chat and do something meaningful. Even if they don't do *that* kind of thing, it's still happiness.
Looking at the empty milk glass in his hand, Li Chenxu suddenly remembered what his subordinate had said on the phone, and his already deep eyes instantly darkened even more.
He needs to resolve that matter quickly.
Otherwise, these days probably won't be peaceful...
Thinking about giving Li Chenxu a massage, Mu Xiaoyu took a quick shower this time, finishing in about ten minutes. Little did she know that in such a short time, Li Chenxu was already asleep in bed.
Perhaps it was because of work, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but even after falling asleep, Li Chenxu's brows were tightly furrowed, and he did not relax at all.
Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely distressed. She quietly walked to Li Chenxu's side, half-squatting by the bed, and gently smoothed out the wrinkles between Li Chenxu's brows.
Because she was afraid of disturbing Li Chenxu's rest, Mu Xiaoyu moved very gently. Even so, Li Chenxu still woke up.
He grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's hand as she tried to pull it back, his slightly hazy eyes looking at her with a hint of a smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you massage it a little longer? It felt very comfortable just now."
"Shall I massage it for you again?"
"No, I can't bear to let my Xiaoyu do these things for me."
As soon as Li Chenxu finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Mu Xiaoyu onto the bed. He hugged Mu Xiaoyu and kissed her, then said, "You don't need to do anything. Just like now, just stay in my arms and let me feel your presence."
"But that will make you uncomfortable."
Mu Xiaoyu objected somewhat. She rested her head on Li Chenxu's arm. It might be fine at first, but later on, Li Chenxu's arm would definitely become uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Li Chenxu was very stubborn at the moment, and upon hearing this, he insisted, "No, I only feel comfortable holding you like this. Okay, you must be tired from playing outside today, Xiaoyu, be good, I won't say anything to anyone, sleep well, goodnight..."
