The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 41 Everything You Cook Tastes Good

Chapter 41 Everything You Cook Tastes Good

Upon hearing this, the receptionists' eyes widened. Li Chenxu's words clearly meant they could never do their jobs again. Since they were all company receptionists, it meant they weren't capable of doing any other work. If they couldn't even do this job anymore, wouldn't that mean they would be permanently unemployed?

"President Li! President Li... please give us another chance, we really know we were wrong..."

"President Li, we really know we were wrong..."

However, after saying this, Li Chenxu didn't give them a chance to speak again. He then pulled Mu Xiaoyu upstairs.

"Don't you think this punishment is too harsh on them? They didn't actually do anything to me..."

Thinking of the despairing looks on the faces of the company's receptionists, Mu Xiaoyu felt a little guilty, but only a little. After all, Li Chenxu was right; as the company's receptionists and face, they had to have proper etiquette.

However, it seems that none of the receptionists had any of these things, and their actions just now were indeed quite infuriating.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's conflicted expression, Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and gently pinched the tip of Mu Xiaoyu's nose affectionately, saying with a smile, "Don't think about these troublesome things. That's how it is in the workplace. If you don't have enough ability and background, just keep a low profile and do your job well. When the time is right, you will naturally shine."

"Those receptionists at the company just now didn't understand themselves well enough. If they don't suffer a bit, how can they survive in this ruthless world? To be honest, what I did was actually helping them."

"How can you help someone like that..."

Mu Xiaoyu glared at Li Chenxu feigning anger, but inwardly she wholeheartedly agreed with him. They were both mature adults, but unlike most children who only thought about emotions, when making decisions, their thoughts were far more complex and profound than before.

On the surface, Li Chenxu's handling of the situation seemed a bit excessive, but on the other hand, it was indeed for the good of those receptionists.

Thinking about it this way, Mu Xiaoyu felt much more relaxed.

The two went straight back to the office. The receptionist's push had spilled all the food from their lunchboxes, making them almost unrecognizable. Mu Xiaoyu herself had no appetite.

So after returning to the office with Li Chenxu, she didn't let him eat the food she had brought: "The food is all inedible. I'll call and order takeout. Let's make do with this for lunch."

"Who said we can't eat it? The food didn't fall on the ground. Besides, even if it did fall on the ground, we shouldn't waste food, right?"

Li Chenxu was clearly in a very good mood; the corners of his mouth were turned up as he spoke, showing none of his usual coldness and domineering demeanor. However, what concerned Mu Xiaoyu more at this moment were his words. Although Mu Xiaoyu wasn't entirely clear about Li Chenxu's preferences, she was well aware of his pickiness about food and his obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

Every household item is meticulously cleaned by the housekeeper every day, and everything is discarded after a maximum of six months. The food prepared is also shockingly picky.

Based on Li Chenxu's previous personality, even if the food inside a lunchbox that had fallen on the ground was clean, he would never have eaten it.

But by the time Mu Xiaoyu realized what was happening, Li Chenxu had already started eating!

Moreover, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be faking it at all; his face clearly showed his enjoyment, and he was obviously happy.

After all, it was a meal I had carefully prepared. I originally thought it would all be for nothing, but who knew that Li Chenxu would eat it so happily.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Sitting opposite Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu watched Li Chenxu eat with relish, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu paused in his actions and looked at Mu Xiaoyu opposite him.

Although he didn't say anything, this was the happiest he had ever been since he married Mu Xiaoyu. The feeling of being completely filled was something that those who hadn't experienced it firsthand could never truly understand.

His feelings for Mu Xiaoyu have finally been reciprocated...

"It's delicious. This is the best meal I've ever had."

Mu Xiaoyu chuckled upon hearing this: "You're lying to me. I tasted it before I brought it to you. It's not bad, but it's not tasty at all. It's not as good as you say."

"But in my heart, everything you make is the most delicious."

As Li Chenxu spoke, his dark eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoyu, serious yet affectionate.

He has always been an outstanding man, whether in terms of work ability or appearance and family background, reaching a level that many men can never reach in their lifetime.

Many women like him, and now... Mu Xiaoyu likes him too.

At this moment, when the person she liked gazed at her with such earnest and affectionate eyes, Mu Xiaoyu's heart began to pound wildly, so fast it seemed it might burst out of her chest at any moment.

Her mind was in complete chaos; she didn't even know what she was saying, and without thinking, she unconsciously moved closer to Li Chenxu and kissed him on the lips.

"Li Chenxu, why are you so good to me..."

"Mu Xiaoyu, why do you think I'm so good to you?"

Compared to Mu Xiaoyu's confusion, Li Chenxu was clearly much more clear-headed. Instead of answering, he asked a question, his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu still earnest, but upon closer inspection, it carried a hint of seduction.

Mu Xiaoyu shook her head; she simply couldn't understand Li Chenxu. Many times, she thought she understood him, only to realize later that her understanding was wrong. In fact, her flawed perceptions had even created rifts and misunderstandings between them.

Li Chenxu is such a difficult person to understand.

As if expected, Li Chenxu was not angry when he saw Mu Xiaoyu shake her head. He simply reached out and gently rubbed Mu Xiaoyu's hair twice before picking up his chopsticks and continuing to eat.

In terms of taste alone, Mu Xiaoyu's cooking was indeed very ordinary, but for Li Chenxu, it was the most delicious food.

Now that everything is moving in a positive direction, he will work hard to protect the hard-won happiness between the two of them.

No matter who it is, even if it's him and Mu Xiaoyu, no one can break this...
