Chapter 570: Don't be too good to him
Song Yin deliberately wanted to annoy Li Chenxu. Not only did she pinch Mu Xiaoyu's cheeks, but she also leaned in and kissed Mu Xiaoyu.
There's nothing wrong with girls being affectionate, but Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin aren't the clingy types. They've never been this intimate before, and even Mu Xiaoyu was a little surprised, let alone Li Chenxu.
Looking at Li Chenxu again, his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot because of Song Yin's action. The veins on the back of his hand holding the chopsticks were bulging, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
However, he still held back, but the way he looked at Song Yin was clearly not as kind as before.
After a brief moment of surprise, Mu Xiaoyu quickly recovered and looked at Song Yin with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
While Song Yin usually exudes a powerful and mature queen-like aura, she sometimes acts like a child.
However, she did not offer any words of comfort to Li Chenxu, as she also harbored some selfish motives.
People are selfish. Mu Xiaoyu did still have feelings for Li Chenxu, and those feelings were quite deep. However, no matter how deep those feelings were, they couldn't erase the grievances she had suffered before. She had been incredibly jealous of the women around Li Chenxu back then.
Even if Song Yin is just deliberately trying to provoke Li Chenxu, he has no choice but to accept it.
In this way, she actually felt more at ease.
Thinking this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but hum twice, looking even happier.
Li Chenxu naturally noticed her emotions. Even though Mu Xiaoyu could tell he was jealous, she didn't comfort him as she usually did. In contrast, his current situation was indeed far more dire.
Li Chenxu glanced at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of grievance, but unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu didn't even look at him. She was chatting enthusiastically with Song Yin at the moment.
"Xiaoyu..."
Li Chenxu simply couldn't bear being ignored by Mu Xiaoyu like this, and at this moment he didn't care about saving face, so he called out to Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu has become quite cunning now. Even though she knows perfectly well why Li Chenxu called her at this time, she pretends to know nothing, tilting her head slightly and looking at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
Li Chenxu was speechless for a moment. If it were just him and Mu Xiaoyu, he could have said anything. But unfortunately, Song Yin was also there.
He had never regretted it as much as he did now. He should have firmly refused when he learned that Song Yin was coming; it would have been better than it is now.
Li Chenxu's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end he still considered Mu Xiaoyu's feelings. He lowered his eyes pitifully and whispered that it was nothing.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had ever seen Li Chenxu look so pitiful, and Song Yin even more so.
At least in Song Yin's eyes, as an outsider, Li Chenxu was a man so domineering it was frightening. She wouldn't have believed he'd back down if she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes.
The man, who was so powerful and almost omnipotent in the eyes of outsiders, looked like an abandoned puppy at this moment, and it was incredibly pitiful.
Song Yin dislikes Li Chenxu, and even though Li Chenxu is now treating Mu Xiaoyu well, she still harbors resentment towards him.
She was surprised and also found it a bit cringeworthy. She winked at Mu Xiaoyu, wanting to see what Mu Xiaoyu was going to do.
Actually, Mu Xiaoyu had already softened her heart. She could never bear to see Li Chenxu looking so pitiful. Seeing this, she stopped teasing Li Chenxu with Song Yin and instead held his hand, coaxing him, "Alright, Song Yin is my friend, and she's a woman, not a man. It's normal for girls to be close. Why are you jealous? Eat your food. You've lost weight lately."
As she spoke, she picked out a few slices of beef for Li Chenxu.
Although Li Chenxu still disapproved of the intimacy between Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin, he was at least satisfied that Mu Xiaoyu was willing to coax him like this at this moment.
So he stopped talking and quietly ate his meal.
Li Chenxu is usually not very talkative while eating. Song Yin and Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen each other for a long time. Song Yin usually has a lot of work and doesn't have much time to get together with Mu Xiaoyu often, so they talked quite a bit during the meal.
"I didn't have a chance to ask you before, how have you been feeling lately? Are you getting used to your work in the industry?"
Mu Xiaoyu nodded: "I'm adapting quite well. Sister Chen Shu has arranged everything very well, and I'm becoming more and more curious about many jobs. Before, I thought I was just coming to the entertainment industry to relax, but now, at least for the next few years, I want to continue developing my career here."
During her few days of rest, Mu Xiaoyu thought deeply about her future. Before, she was somewhat confused about the future, thinking that she would just keep painting for the rest of her life.
Although she loves painting, if she turns her favorite thing into a profession, that passion might one day disappear.
But now, she has other jobs, so she's not too busy with either and can manage to balance both. Just like this time, after several days, she came back to paint with even more enthusiasm than before, and even more inspiration than before, resulting in more paintings.
Therefore, she will likely remain in the entertainment industry for at least the next few years.
More importantly, she also wants to have her own fans.
She already had many book fans. Although she didn't have much contact with them, she felt happy every time she saw their heartwarming comments online and how they defended her after bad things happened.
Mu Xiaoyu really enjoys being liked, perhaps because of her childhood memories and the unpleasant experiences she went through with Li Chenxu, which made her yearn to be liked by more people.
She thought that once she officially entered the entertainment industry and produced good works, she would be liked by more people.
Song Yin quietly watched Mu Xiaoyu's upturned lips, and seeing that she didn't seem to be forcing it, but rather genuinely liked it, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled and said, "Since you've made up your mind, that's good. If you need anything from Sister Chen, remember to bother her. Don't worry about tiring her out; she's a workaholic, and the more tired she is, the more she likes it."
These words left Mu Xiaoyu somewhat amused and exasperated, but she didn't have anything else to keep Chen Shu occupied with.
Just walk the path Chen Shu has paved for her steadily and do your own thing well, and that will be fine.
"I'll go now, and I'll come back to see you after I've rested for a few days."
After finishing her meal, Song Yin didn't stay long; she had some things to do at home. After leaving, she hugged Mu Xiaoyu in front of Li Chenxu and whispered in her ear, "Remember, even if you've made up, don't be too nice to this guy, or he'll bully you again in the future."
