The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 743: Too Cheesy

Chapter 743: Too Cheesy

The word "husband" instantly made Li Chenxu stop what he was doing. The voice wasn't as harsh as before; it was soft and sweet, like someone was pleading.

Mu Xiaoyu had no resistance to Li Chenxu's face, and Li Chenxu was even less able to resist her calling him "husband," his heart melting instantly.

He glanced at Mu Xiaoyu, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, saying, "Talk is cheap. Anyone can talk."

"What do you want?"

Mu Xiaoyu wasn't angry. Li Chenxu wasn't a man who would hold grudges; he was only acting this way because he cared about her too much. Even if Li Chenxu did make a request at this time, she wouldn't have any objections or get angry.

Seeing that she looked all smiles and easy to talk to, Li Chenxu didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I need you to repeat what you just said, and then I have to record it. You have to promise that what you just said is the truth."

Mu Xiaoyu was truly surprised that Li Chenxu would pull such a stunt, and she was both amused and exasperated. However, it wasn't an unreasonable request; it was quite simple, and she didn't need to refuse.

Mu Xiaoyu nodded to Li Chenxu and said, "Okay, I promise you. Go get the recorder. I'll say whatever you want to hear."

"Is everything you said true? Is it true that you'll tell me whatever I want to hear?"

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you at a time like this?"

Mu Xiaoyu noticed the strange look in Li Chenxu's eyes, but she didn't think much of it. After all, soothing Li Chenxu's emotions was the most important thing for her right now.

Without hesitation, she nodded in agreement. It was at this moment that a sly smile appeared on Li Chenxu's lips, but he concealed it very well, and it was so fleeting that Mu Xiaoyu couldn't catch it at all.

Instead of getting a dedicated recording pen, he took out his phone, turned on the recording, and brought it close to Mu Xiaoyu's mouth, saying, "Before saying what you just said, say something else first."

"Anything else? Besides what you just said, what else do you want me to say?"

"What? Are you going to back out?"

"How could that be? I was just asking casually."

Mu Xiaoyu immediately retorted, and seeing this, Li Chenxu's smile deepened. He looked straight at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "I want you to call me 'baby husband' twenty times in a row."

"Cough cough cough... Do you even know what you're saying??"

Mu Xiaoyu was shocked by Li Chenxu's shameless words. She couldn't catch her breath and choked. If Li Chenxu hadn't gently patted her chest to help her catch her breath, she might have choked to a terrible degree.

She looked at Li Chenxu with a complicated expression, opened her mouth, and was about to speak when Li Chenxu spoke first: "Don't you want to? I was afraid you wouldn't, so I specifically asked you. I didn't expect you to still want to..."

"I didn't say I was unwilling!"

Before Li Chenxu could even utter the word "change of heart," Mu Xiaoyu interrupted him. It wasn't that she was genuinely swayed by Li Chenxu's demeanor; she simply knew what kind of earth-shattering things Li Chenxu would do if she nodded in refusal.

It's better to avoid trouble than to let Li Chenxu nag her. It's better to fulfill his little wishes now than to let him nag her in a bad mood. Although Li Chenxu's request was a bit cheesy, the two of them were an old married couple and had been through a lot, including more cheesy things. She could still manage to call him "baby husband" a few times.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu's attitude was so firm, Li Chenxu's smile became even brighter.

He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu on the corner of her lips, then gestured for her to speak with his eyes.

Mu Xiaoyu was not swayed by his gentle gaze at all. Seeing this, she rolled her eyes at Li Chenxu before speaking in a flat, even tone: "My darling husband, my darling husband..."

She endured it several times, but her tone remained unchanged. At first, Li Chenxu had an expectant expression, but by the end, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed, revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

"Wait, you can't just call me that so casually. You have to be affectionate. If someone who doesn't know the situation heard you, they'd think you were just reciting lines."

"Isn't he just reciting lines?" Mu Xiaoyu thought to herself that it was inappropriate to complain about men, but she wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud in front of Li Chenxu. So she coughed lightly and pretended to explain, "Okay, okay, if you tell me to be more emotional, then I'll be more emotional."

After speaking, she cleared her throat and continued reciting her 'lines' to Li Chenxu: "Baby~ Husband~"

This time, feelings have been formed, and it won't be as flat and emotionless as before. But new problems have arisen. Mu Xiaoyu's recitation is now far too exaggerated, too over-the-top, like she's acting in a sitcom. Not only does it lack any real emotion, but it also seems like she's putting on a show.

Even if Li Chenxu liked Mu Xiaoyu a lot, he couldn't bear to look at her like this.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu had no self-awareness and was still thinking of continuing to read, he quickly turned off the recording, covered Mu Xiaoyu's mouth, and said anxiously, "Okay, okay, you've said it so many times, that's enough, you don't need to say it anymore."

Seeing Li Chenxu's expression, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to chuckle to herself. Afraid of breaking her composure, she quickly took Li Chenxu's hand away and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you just tell me to say something? There are still a few more times to go."

"That's enough, that's enough. There's no need to say anything more."

"What about what I said before? Do I need to repeat myself?"

Mu Xiaoyu feigned ignorance, blinking at Li Chenxu as if she were an innocent soul. However, everyone knew better than anyone else that neither Mu Xiaoyu nor Li Chenxu were good people.

Li Chenxu was truly at a loss with Mu Xiaoyu, so he gave up his previous thoughts, and the slight resentment that had already disappeared from his heart vanished at this moment.

He glanced at An'an in Mu Xiaoyu's arms. An'an's big eyes were staring straight at him, as if she didn't understand what he and Mu Xiaoyu were talking about back then.

It's unclear what Li Chenxu was thinking, but a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes.

Before Mu Xiaoyu could even be on guard, the next second, Gana Lichenxu reached out and hugged An'an, saying to the still speechless An'an, "What should we do? Even at home, you still have to sleep alone. Your mother has to sleep with me at night. No matter how much your mother loves you, she is still my wife."
