The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 19 Coquetry

Chapter 19 Acting Cute

Whether or not Mu Xiaoyu went to Li Chenxu's company didn't matter, so when she heard Li Chenxu's words, she didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

However... since Li Chenxu made a request to her first, it shouldn't be unreasonable for her to make a request to Li Chenxu as well, right?

It's only fair if there's give and take.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu walked to the desk, half-squatted down, rested her chin on the desk, and blinked her big eyes at Li Chenxu. She didn't say anything, just kept looking at him with that pitiful and innocent gaze. Anyone would like to see that look.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this for the first time, Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Is something the matter?"

"Li Chenxu...can I go out tomorrow night?"

Where should we go tomorrow night?

If Mu Xiaoyu were just going to an ordinary place, she certainly wouldn't be asking for his opinion with such a pitiful and innocent look. It's obvious that the place Mu Xiaoyu wants to go to is definitely not one he likes.

Mu Xiaoyu was still a little apprehensive, not because she was afraid of Li Chenxu. The past few days had been unusually harmonious between them, and precisely because of this, she didn't want anything to disrupt their peace. She was worried that if word got out, Li Chenxu would get angry.

But she had to go to Wu Qianru's place, and for a moment, Mu Xiaoyu was caught in a dilemma.

Li Chenxu was in a good mood at this moment, and seeing this, he did not urge him. His handsome face even had a slight smile on it, and his eyes were filled with indescribable tenderness when he looked at Mu Xiaoyu.

In the end, seeing Mu Xiaoyu's conflicted expression, he really couldn't bear to part with her.

So Li Chenxu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then said to Mu Xiaoyu, "Just tell me where you want to go, I won't get angry."

"This is what you said, you can't go back on it!"

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately became excited, her eyes and brows sparkling with joy, making her look absolutely beautiful.

Seeing this, Li Chenxu's smile deepened. He nodded, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with doting eyes: "I won't go back on my word."

Since Li Chenxu had said so, Mu Xiaoyu naturally didn't need to worry about anything anymore. Upon hearing this, she quickly told Li Chenxu about Wu Qianru's visit that day. After she finished telling him everything, she added, "Actually, I didn't really want to go to a place like Haoting, but I promised Wu Qianru, so it wouldn't be good not to go."

"Go ahead, but make sure you bring your family's bodyguards with you. Send me a message before you go and when you leave so I can pick you up."

Mu Xiaoyu originally thought that even if Li Chenxu were to agree, he would at least consider it. But she never expected that Li Chenxu would agree without even thinking about it!

Mu Xiaoyu was so surprised she couldn't speak. She stared wide-eyed at Li Chenxu for a long while before stammering, "You agreed?"

"Otherwise what? Don't you plan to go?"

Li Chenxu enjoyed seeing Mu Xiaoyu act differently in front of him, and now he couldn't resist teasing her. He hadn't wanted Mu Xiaoyu to go out before because she always wanted a divorce and to leave him.

But things are different now. He can see that Mu Xiaoyu has no intention of getting a divorce anymore, and she has been genuinely spending time with him these past few days. He doesn't want to keep Mu Xiaoyu like a canary in a cage. Someone as wonderful as Mu Xiaoyu deserves more freedom so she can enjoy everything and do whatever she wants.

All he had to do was stand behind her, protect her, and create a bright future for her.

"No, no, no, I want to go!"

Mu Xiaoyu quickly snapped out of her daze. By now, she had suppressed her surprise and looked at Li Chenxu with a complicated expression. She had only thought of trying her luck by being coquettish, but she hadn't expected Li Chenxu to agree so readily.

No wonder she never got the better end of her arguments with Li Chenxu before; it seems Li Chenxu is only responsive to gentle persuasion, not force.

And now it seems that Li Chenxu isn't a pervert who likes to imprison others; she seems to have misunderstood him before...

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a tiny bit guilty towards Li Chenxu.

She thought for a moment, and finally looked at Li Chenxu seriously and said, "Li Chenxu, thank you." Consider it an apology, it's pretty much the same thing anyway.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Xiaoyu: "Thank you? What are you thanking me for? Is it just because I agreed to let you go to Haoting that you're thanking me?"

If Mu Xiaoyu had said that before, he would have been furious, but the situation is different now, so he is naturally not as angry.

Li Chenxu stood up and walked to Mu Xiaoyu's side. He gently rubbed Mu Xiaoyu's hair with his large, warm hand and said with a smile, "Mu Xiaoyu, I'm only saying this once, so you need to listen carefully..."

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Li Chenxu in front of her, puzzled, clearly not knowing what Li Chenxu wanted to say at this moment.

“We’re husband and wife. Since that’s the case, whatever you do, whatever I do, whatever we do for each other, it’s all our duty. There’s no need to say thank you. I don’t want us to be so polite between us, do you understand?”

Li Chenxu started off with a smile, but as he spoke, his expression turned serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

In that instant, Mu Xiaoyu's mind kept flashing back to Li Chenxu's increasingly gentle attitude towards her these past few days, as well as Li Chenxu's protection of her at the banquet earlier.

It seems that Li Chenxu isn't so bad after all...

These days, Mu Xiaoyu was busy with etiquette classes and rushing to finish her drawings, so she didn't say much to Li Chenxu before taking a shower and going to bed. The two slept together again that night. Since that crazy night, Li Chenxu hadn't touched her again. Even though they slept in the same bed, Li Chenxu kept a certain distance from her.

At first, Mu Xiaoyu was still a little wary of him, but later, when she realized that Li Chenxu didn't intend to do anything, she was completely relieved.

However, she was a restless sleeper at night. She slept soundly at first, but in the latter half of the night, she would unconsciously snuggle into Li Chenxu's arms. As a result, Mu Xiaoyu would wake up in Li Chenxu's arms every morning.

At first, Mu Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed, but after a while, she got used to it after waking up in the same situation every time.

It has to be said, habits can be truly terrifying at times...
