Chapter 321 Raking Ears
Chapter 321 Henpecked Husband
This was the first time Li Chenxu had his ear pulled by Mu Xiaoyu. The feeling was so novel that he couldn't help but freeze in place, staring at Mu Xiaoyu without blinking, and didn't say a word for a long time.
At first, Mu Xiaoyu was a bit arrogant, but when she saw Li Chenxu's appearance, she suddenly felt a little guilty. She tried to pull her hand back, but as soon as she let go, Li Chenxu grabbed it.
"Why don't you keep harping on it?"
"Are you a masochist? You want me to grab you like that?!"
Mu Xiaoyu muttered to herself, and then couldn't help but peek at Li Chenxu again. But Li Chenxu didn't seem angry at all; he was still smiling.
Even though Mu Xiaoyu had been with him for so long, she was still a little confused by Li Chenxu's behavior.
"Li Chenxu, are you alright?"
After hesitating for a while, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask. Could it be that this cold has made Li Chenxu stupid?
But it doesn't look like it...
"I like it when you pinch me like that just now. See? Isn't it just like many ordinary couples?"
Li Chenxu held Mu Xiaoyu's hand, still placing it on his ear, and when he spoke, his dark eyes shone like stars in the sky.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had seen Li Chenxu like this; he was just like a child.
She couldn't help but laugh, tilting her head and looking at Li Chenxu with amused eyes, saying, "How can you be so strange? Who likes having their ears pulled? Besides, what you just said isn't how all couples are. If outsiders knew, you'd be called a henpecked husband."
"A henpecked husband? What's that?"
At this moment, Li Chenxu was like a child with a strong thirst for knowledge, showing great interest. He usually always had a mature and powerful demeanor, and this was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had ever seen him like this.
Mu Xiaoyu found it quite amusing, and she liked Li Chenxu in this way, so her smile deepened as she explained, "He's just a man who's afraid of his wife."
"Afraid of his wife..."
Li Chenxu repeated those three words, his eyes thoughtful. He had always been a strong-willed person, and the idea that he was afraid of his wife was something that would never appear in the eyes of outsiders or even in Mu Xiaoyu's mind.
However, just as Mu Xiaoyu was about to continue pulling off Li Chenxu's coat, Li Chenxu suddenly hugged Mu Xiaoyu and said, "I've always been henpecked. Besides, it's not a bad thing. I should pamper and spoil my own wife. Even if I let her pull my ears, that's my business. As long as my wife is happy, isn't that enough?"
Mu Xiaoyu could tell that Li Chenxu's words were not meant to flatter her at all; they were his true feelings.
She couldn't believe her ears for a moment, staring blankly at Li Chenxu for a few seconds before finally asking, "But with your status, if this gets out, where will you put your face..."
"This is a family matter, and I don't care what outsiders say. Besides, at least no one dares to say these things to my face. I love my wife, and it's none of their business."
If anyone else had said these words, they would have sounded arrogant and conceited. But coming from Li Chenxu, they sounded dazzling and powerful.
Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt that every day she spent with Li Chenxu seemed to bring her surprises. Sometimes the surprises were deliberately prepared by Li Chenxu, while other times, like now, they were unintentional.
But no matter which one it is, Mu Xiaoyu feels that she is very happy, the happiest person in the world.
She reached out and gently tugged at Li Chenxu's ear again, laughing, "Do you really like it when I tug your ear?"
"I don't like having my ears pulled, but I like it when you pull my ears."
Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu intently, his eyes more serious than ever before. Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback, then laughed.
Li Chenxu, you're getting better and better at sweet talk these days.
What to do? She was already completely under Li Chenxu's thumb, and now she really can't live without him anymore...
Li Chenxu's body had not yet recovered, and Mu Xiaoyu was worried that he was not in good spirits, so she did not talk to Li Chenxu much. She took off Li Chenxu's coat and let him lie on her lap to sleep.
It was still raining outside the university, and the entire capital was shrouded in a silvery blanket. Li Chenxu wasn't feeling well, but he soon fell asleep.
Mu Xiaoyu stared at Li Chenxu's sleeping face for a while, then her gaze involuntarily drifted out the car window.
Because it's close to the Lunar New Year, many companies have already closed for the holidays, and the streets are practically deserted, looking desolate and quiet.
She suddenly remembered that before she and Li Chenxu reconciled, the house was even more deserted than usual during the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, every year during the Lunar New Year, she and Li Chenxu would have to visit the Li family's old residence to pay their respects. At that time, the conflict between her and Li Chenxu was at its deepest, and the Li family disliked her the most, trying every means to cause her trouble during the Lunar New Year.
Looking back now, she really did have a lot of herself to blame.
In fact, Li Chenxu had tried to protect her, but she shut him down with crocodile tears.
See? This is a classic case of reaping what you sow.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle silently. The New Year was just over ten days away, and she wondered what it would be like to celebrate it this year.
It was more than an hour later when they returned to the villa. Perhaps because he had taken a nap, and with the effects of the medication taking hold, Li Chenxu seemed to be in much better spirits than before.
"Take a good rest at home these two days. Try to handle work-related matters at home if possible. Delegate tasks to your subordinates. Also, Assistant Lin, isn't he your assistant? It's best to leave these matters to him."
Mu Xiaoyu was chattering away behind Li Chenxu, while instructing the maids to prepare some light stews for him. Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu immediately stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at Mu Xiaoyu and said seriously, "Lin Qing, don't trust him like you used to. He might have some problems."
Originally, Li Chenxu hadn't planned to tell Mu Xiaoyu about Lin Zhu's situation, but now he thought it best to tell her. Lin Zhu knew very well Mu Xiaoyu's place in his heart, and if Lin Zhu really had a problem and wanted to get to her through Mu Xiaoyu, that would be troublesome.
