Chapter 7 Maintenance
When Mu Xiaoyu said this, her voice was soft and sweet, filled with dependence and shyness. Not only Li Chenxu, but even some of the men watching felt a tickle in their hearts.
Looking at Li Chenxu, who had been expressionless before, a smile appeared on his handsome face when he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable doting affection as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu.
He reached out and gently patted Mu Xiaoyu's hand twice, then smiled and said, "It was my fault. I'll be more careful in the future."
Li Chenxu's attitude clearly explained everything. The couple is deeply in love; how could there be a third party interfering?
Wu Qianru never expected this situation. Wasn't Mu Xiaoyu drugged yesterday? Why... why is it like this now?
Her eyes were red as she stared at the composed Mu Xiaoyu. Hatred and jealousy filled her mind, leaving her no time to think. She pointed directly at Mu Xiaoyu's nose and shouted, "That's not how it is at all! Mu Xiaoyu, you clearly..."
"enough."
Before Wu Qianru could finish speaking, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke in a deep voice. He pulled Mu Xiaoyu behind him and stood in front of Wu Qianru. His nearly 1.9-meter height, coupled with his powerful and sharp aura, immediately made Wu Qianru feel suffocated, her mind went blank, and she completely forgot what she wanted to say.
"No one knows Xiaoyu better than I, her husband. No matter what, it's none of our business for outsiders to interfere. If Miss Wu wants to stay here in the future, then she'd better watch her mouth."
The cold voice was devoid of any emotion, sending a chill down Wu Qianru's spine. She had no time to react, no time to utter a word of rebuttal, before Li Chenxu summoned someone in and evicted her.
Mu Xiaoyu, standing behind Li Chenxu, watched all of this coldly from beginning to end, with no intention of pleading for Wu Qianru.
Tonight's banquet is attended by many important figures in the industry. Wu Qianru finally managed to get in, and now she's been kicked out by Li Chenxu in such a humiliating manner. It won't be long before the news spreads throughout the entire industry, and by then, Wu Qianru will have no face left.
Wu Qianru was almost frantic, but she dared not shout or do anything, otherwise her fate would not be as simple as just being kicked out.
At this moment, Wu Qianru's hatred for Mu Xiaoyu reached its peak. She remembered clearly that Mu Xiaoyu had said they were friends, but now that she was in trouble, Mu Xiaoyu had done nothing!
Mu Xiaoyu, as expected, is the most selfish person!
However, Wu Qianru seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who attacked Mu Xiaoyu first. She was the one who did something wrong, but now she was blaming Mu Xiaoyu.
Selfish people are like this: no matter what they do wrong, they always blame others. And Wu Qianru is exactly that kind of person.
Because of this farce, the banquet didn't last long. Last night, Li Chenxu practically took Mu Xiaoyu all night, and Mu Xiaoyu hadn't had a proper rest since waking up today. After Wu Qianru was kicked out, Mu Xiaoyu was almost at her breaking point.
After several hours, her delicate face gradually showed signs of fatigue. Li Chenxu saw all of this, said something to his business partner who was in conversation, and soon walked over to Mu Xiaoyu's side.
"gone back."
Li Chenxu extended his hand to Mu Xiaoyu, speaking casually. Mu Xiaoyu, still a little dazed, first glanced at Li Chenxu, then looked behind him. Seeing that no one seemed to be paying attention, she couldn't help but say, "Are we still going to act at a time like this? Nobody's even noticed us..."
"No matter what you do, you must see it through to the end. Don't you know that?"
Before Mu Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted her with a stern face. He had turned down a business deal he was negotiating so that Mu Xiaoyu could go home and rest early, but this woman Mu Xiaoyu actually said it was just acting!
The more Li Chenxu thought about it, the uglier his expression became. However, Mu Xiaoyu thought that he was angry because she hadn't cooperated with his acting.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh, and with a hint of resignation, she placed her hand in Li Chenxu's hand, muttering under her breath, "Actually, nobody's watching us anymore... what's the point of acting..."
Her voice was very soft, and she thought Li Chenxu couldn't hear her, but Li Chenxu was so close to her that almost every word she said reached his ears.
Li Chenxu's expression was already unpleasant, but upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, it darkened considerably. Outside, the others at the banquet, who had initially intended to greet Li Chenxu, were too intimidated by his appearance to approach him. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Li Chenxu led Mu Xiaoyu into his car and drove away.
After getting into the car, Li Chenxu immediately let go of Mu Xiaoyu's hand. Without even glancing at Mu Xiaoyu, he sat on the other side of the car, his eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window. From Mu Xiaoyu's angle, all she could see was Li Chenxu's sharply defined profile and his tightly pursed lips.
All of this indicated Li Chenxu's bad mood.
Regardless of whether she and Li Chenxu were putting on an act at the banquet today, Li Chenxu's defense of her when Wu Qianru caused her trouble was genuine.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Mu Xiaoyu was really touched at that time.
The feeling of being protected and cared for was something she had never experienced before. It was novel, yet she liked it very much.
Although she didn't know what Li Chenxu was angry about, Mu Xiaoyu felt that she had to comfort and reassure him, remembering how he had defended her before.
After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously moved closer to Li Chenxu and whispered, "Li Chenxu, actually... if you're unhappy, we can talk it over. That might be a good thing for you..."
"Talk?"
Almost instantly upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu turned around. His previously gentle eyes now held an indescribable rage and sharpness. He grabbed Mu Xiaoyu's chin, leaned close, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Mu Xiaoyu, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
After saying that, without giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to react, he bit her lip hard. Instantly, a faint taste of blood filled Mu Xiaoyu's mouth, leaving her completely stunned.
