Chapter 751: Possession
Song Yin had nothing to do, so she stayed at Mu Xiaoyu's house for dinner that night.
Li Chenxu returned home on time every night. He and Mu Xiaoyu were inseparable, missing each other terribly even when separated for just a short while each day. He had originally planned to hug and kiss Mu Xiaoyu when he got home. Who would have thought that upon arriving home, he would be greeted by Song Yin and Mu Xiaoyu laughing and joking together.
Immediately, Li Chenxu's face darkened.
He didn't dislike Song Yin. In fact, because of all the help Song Yin had given Mu Xiaoyu, and because of Song Yin's personality, he thought she was a good woman.
But that's all. Song Yin has been appearing around Mu Xiaoyu far too often, which has already interfered with the time he and Mu Xiaoyu can spend together!
Li Chenxu had always been possessive of Mu Xiaoyu and had always been extremely jealous. However, his possessiveness towards Mu Xiaoyu was so strong that Mu Xiaoyu didn't like it, and the two even had many conflicts because of it. Later, he reluctantly changed his ways.
However, all of that was just on the surface. In reality, deep down, Li Chenxu had never corrected this 'bad habit'.
After experiencing so much, Mu Xiaoyu actually became dependent on him. Naturally, Li Chenxu's strong possessiveness, which had been buried deep in his heart, no longer needed to be hidden.
These days, on the surface, it seems like Mu Xiaoyu is the one clinging to Li Chenxu.
In reality, it was Li Chenxu who was clinging to Mu Xiaoyu. It's just that Mu Xiaoyu was careless and didn't notice.
"Oh, you're back."
Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin were chatting. They had similar interests and hadn't talked together in a long time, so they were having a great time. So much so that she didn't even know when Li Chenxu would be back.
I just turned my head suddenly and saw Li Chenxu standing at the door.
Seeing Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu knew that Li Chenxu was in a bad mood and thought that he had encountered something unpleasant at the company. So she thought for a moment and lowered her voice to Song Yin, saying, "You sit here for a while. I'm going to talk to Li Chenxu about something and I'll come back later."
"Okay, you go."
Song Yin also noticed that something was wrong with Li Chenxu, but since she wasn't very familiar with him, she didn't feel comfortable asking him. For now, she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu stopped talking, walked to Li Chenxu's side, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, and asked him softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen? You seem a little unhappy."
"No, I've always been like this."
Li Chenxu immediately denied it; how could he possibly reveal the reason for his unhappiness? If he did, not only would he not receive comfort from Mu Xiaoyu, but he would probably also get a beating from her.
Song Yin is Mu Xiaoyu's best friend. If he gets angry just because Song Yin came here and 'wasted' his time with Mu Xiaoyu, anyone would think he's petty.
Despite his anger, Li Chenxu understood the situation, so no matter how Mu Xiaoyu questioned him, he remained tight-lipped and refused to budge.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu and asked him several times, but Li Chenxu refused to answer, so she lost her patience.
"Don't just let it go if you don't tell me. Go change your clothes, we'll get ready to eat soon."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyu turned to leave, but Li Chenxu quickly grabbed him and said anxiously, "Are you just going to leave like that?"
"What are you going to do if you don't leave? Didn't I just ask you? But you wouldn't tell me, what can I do?"
What Mu Xiaoyu didn't mention was that Li Chenxu's current demeanor didn't seem like he had encountered anything bad outside at all. Especially the way he spoke to her just now, it was more like he was being coquettish.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu had no reason to worry. Her mind was now entirely focused on Song Yin, and unless something particularly important happened with Li Chenxu, she wouldn't concern herself with him.
Li Chenxu hadn't seen Mu Xiaoyu ignore him like this in a long time. The expression on the face of this man in his thirties instantly turned aggrieved.
He held Mu Xiaoyu's hand tightly, staring at her intently. Finally, he couldn't help but lower his voice and ask, "You ignored me as soon as Song Yin arrived. In your heart, is Song Yin more important or am I more important?"
Mu Xiaoyu almost burst out laughing when she heard Li Chenxu's words. If Li Chenxu hadn't had such a serious expression on his face when he said it, she would have thought he was joking with her.
The question he just asked is exactly the same as the one that used to be popular online: if your girlfriend and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?
You have to understand that Song Yin is her best friend, while Li Chenxu is her man. The two are completely different and there is no way to compare them.
Besides, what Mu Xiaoyu really didn't want to say was that Li Chenxu's current appearance was just too much like that of a jealous woman.
However, she hadn't seen Li Chenxu jealous in a long time, and besides, she felt that even if Li Chenxu was jealous, it wouldn't be worth being jealous of a woman.
The thought had barely surfaced when Mu Xiaoyu immediately suppressed it.
Thinking back to the past, it seems that Li Chenxu wasn't entirely without jealousy towards women. It's just that in the last year or two, Li Chenxu has changed so much that she's almost forgotten what he used to be like when he was jealous of women.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze toward Li Chenxu suddenly became meaningful.
She reached out and stroked her chin, staring thoughtfully at Li Chenxu.
Li Chenxu felt uncomfortable under Mu Xiaoyu's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you answering me? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm wondering, how can a grown man like you be jealous of a woman?"
"Who said I'm jealous of women!"
Li Chenxu instantly snapped back like a cat with its fur standing on end, and his reaction was quite amusing.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh, letting out a long "Oh," and said, "No? If not, then why did you ask that question? You even asked me who's more important between me and Song Yin, or between you and her. Ask yourself honestly, would any man ask that question like you?"
"Of course there are! Lots of men ask that question!"
"Then tell me, who else would ask such a question?"
Mu Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow at Li Chenxu. This guy doesn't even bother to think before he lies. Although she doesn't have many male friends, she knows just as much as she needs to know. Li Chenxu would have to work harder to fool her.
This time, Li Chenxu was truly speechless. After all, he had no idea what other man would say such a thing.
