Chapter 240 Why is he so narcissistic?

It was getting late after talking with Bai Ye. Bai Ye originally wanted to take Mu Xiaoyu home first, but halfway there, Li Chenxu called. As soon as he heard that Mu Xiaoyu was with Bai Ye, he insisted on coming to pick Mu Xiaoyu up and take her home himself.

Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat helpless, but she couldn't persuade Li Chenxu otherwise, so she finally agreed.

"Why don't you go ahead? My husband will be here soon anyway."

The scene of Bai Ye and Li Chenxu together last time was still fresh in Mu Xiaoyu's mind. She didn't want Li Chenxu and Bai Ye to meet again, as it would be too awkward.

Unfortunately, neither Bai Ye nor Li Chenxu seemed to have this feeling.

Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Bai Ye merely raised his eyelids slightly, his expression remaining unchanged. In fact, a faint smile appeared on his usually calm face: "No rush. After all, too many things have happened recently. It would be safer to see Mr. Li take you home with your own eyes."

Mu Xiaoyu felt that... Bai Ye seemed to be doing it on purpose when he said that.

Such a thought only flashed through her mind. After all, in Mu Xiaoyu's opinion, Bai Ye's personality was that of an upright and incorruptible person, and he really didn't seem like the kind of person who would joke around.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't insist anymore. Anyway, if the two of them really bumped into each other, it would be awkward, and she wouldn't be the one who would be embarrassed.

So the three of them sat in the tea restaurant, waiting for Li Chenxu to arrive.

For some reason, none of the three spoke during the wait. Bai Ye didn't know, but when Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Luo looked at each other, they both saw a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, this time did not last long before Li Chenxu arrived. He seemed to have just rushed over from a social engagement, and he still carried a faint smell of alcohol. When he arrived, he did not seem as sharp-tongued as before when he saw Bai Ye.

He strode over to Mu Xiaoyu's side, naturally yet intimately putting his arm around her shoulder, and smiled at Bai Ye, saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. and Miss Bai, for earlier. Now I'm taking Xiaoyu home. Would you like me to give you a ride?"

At this moment, Li Chenxu seemed to have been stimulated by something, and when facing Bai Ye, his temper was better than ever before, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

If it weren't for Bai Ye and Bai Luo being there, Mu Xiaoyu would have even wanted to take a closer look at whether the person in front of her was actually Li Chenxu!

Bai Ye seemed surprised that Li Chenxu could face him so calmly. He paused for a second, then shook his head calmly and said, "No need. Since Mr. Li has arrived, I will take Bai Luo back first. See you next time."

The two men had different thoughts, but in the end they still said their goodbyes amicably and left.

Once Bai Ye and the others had completely disappeared from Mu Xiaoyu's sight, she tugged at Li Chenxu's sleeve: "Brother Chenxu, did you take the wrong medicine today? Or are you drunk?"

As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she craned her neck to sniff Li Chenxu. Li Chenxu smelled faintly of alcohol, and given his generally good alcohol tolerance, he shouldn't be drunk.

"Stop smelling it, I'm not drunk."

"Then what did you do just now...?"

"Are you trying to say why I didn't give Bai Ye the cold shoulder like before?"

Before Mu Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted her. The smile in his eyes was so full it was almost overflowing.

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Li Chenxu with longing. She thought she knew Li Chenxu well enough, but seeing his happy appearance, she suddenly felt that she knew him less than she knew him.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's confusion, Li Chenxu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying, "When I came to pick you up, I realized something. No matter how much Bai Ye and the others like you, you are my wife, and you will be mine for life. No matter how much they like you, they can only look at you at most; they can never have you. Since they are all so pitiful, why should I bother arguing with them?"

Hearing Li Chenxu's explanation, Mu Xiaoyu almost burst out laughing. She had always known that Li Chenxu was narcissistic, but upon hearing his words, she really didn't know what to say.

She looked at Li Chenxu with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and said, "You're too narcissistic. How do you know they can only look at me at most? If you don't treat me well, I won't stay with you forever."

"So you think I'm not treating you well right now?"

Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu tightened his grip on her. Taking advantage of Mu Xiaoyu's distraction, he lowered his head and unceremoniously bit her lip.

Mu Xiaoyu was in so much pain from his bite that she couldn't help but groan.

She quickly pushed Li Chenxu away, gritting her teeth and saying, "Are you a dog?! You always bite me!"

Li Chenxu blinked innocently at Mu Xiaoyu: "Don't you know what my zodiac sign is? But..."

At this point, Li Chenxu's tone suddenly changed, and his gaze toward Mu Xiaoyu became sharper and more forceful. He hugged Mu Xiaoyu again, and this time, he only gently kissed her lips, saying, "However, you are not allowed to have any thoughts of leaving me, otherwise I will tie you up and make sure you can't go anywhere."

Even if Li Chenxu didn't say it, Mu Xiaoyu knew that given Li Chenxu's personality, he was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

She pouted in dissatisfaction, but this time she didn't say anything more. She had only said that casually; she knew Li Chenxu's personality well. Although he was strong and domineering in many ways, he was genuinely good to her now.

She didn't know how other couples were, but she knew that Li Chenxu was good to her now, and that was enough.

So Mu Xiaoyu took Li Chenxu's arm and said, "Alright, I was just telling you something. By the way, Bai Ye told me some things about Mu Pengzheng today, I don't know if it will be helpful to your investigation."

Both Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu became serious when Mu Pengzheng's matter was mentioned. Since they still had some time before getting home, Mu Xiaoyu told Li Chenxu what Bai Ye had told her earlier while they were in the car.

Li Chenxu remained silent for a long time after listening. To be honest, the person who had the most information and evidence about Mu Pengzheng was actually Li Chenxu.

However, before Bai Ye investigated this matter today, they had always thought they had overlooked this point.

If what Bai Ye is saying is true, many people will become the targets of Li Chenxu's suspicion.
