The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 569: Jealousy

Chapter 569: Jealousy

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu didn't continue drawing.

She stood up, stretched, and went downstairs to find Li Chenxu, who was currently preparing the ingredients for dinner. Because he was at home, he was wearing his usual silk shirt and slightly loose trousers, making him look less sharp and more gentle and approachable, which made him even more attractive.

Mu Xiaoyu stood at the kitchen door and watched him quietly for a while. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and went behind Li Chenxu to hug him.

"hungry?"

Li Chenxu knew that Mu Xiaoyu had been standing at the kitchen door watching him for a while, and he assumed she was hungry. After all, it had been a long time since Mu Xiaoyu had taken the initiative to be close to him like this.

Mu Xiaoyu buried her head in Li Chenxu's back without saying a word. After she had hugged him enough, she muttered softly, "Song Yin is coming later, so prepare more, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Li Chenxu remained silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and finally hummed in agreement.

Strictly speaking, Li Chenxu is indeed a generous man in other respects. However, when it comes to Mu Xiaoyu, he often becomes extremely stingy.

Just like now, he hopes that during Mu Xiaoyu's few days off, Mu Xiaoyu's time can be completely her own. No matter what they do, as long as the two of them are together, that's enough.

He knew very well that this was just wishful thinking on his part.

In the past, when he had the time, he never truly belonged to Mu Xiaoyu. Now, at a time like this, what right did he have to interfere with Mu Xiaoyu's affairs?

Mu Xiaoyu noticed something was off about Li Chenxu at this moment. She released his waist, walked up to him, and tilted her head to look at him: "What's wrong? Don't you want Song Yin to come over for dinner?"

"how come."

Li Chenxu looked at her with feigned helplessness, but his expression didn't seem like he didn't want to. He didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to notice anything amiss, otherwise it would seem like he was some kind of petty man.

Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat skeptical, so she looked at Li Chenxu a few more times. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, she said, "I haven't seen Song Yin for several months. I heard that the drama she's filming this time is actually quite tough. I wonder if she's changed..."

Mu Xiaoyu muttered to herself, and she didn't leave the kitchen, but just watched Li Chenxu cook.

Li Chenxu would occasionally agree with her, but most of the time Mu Xiaoyu was talking to herself.

Compared to when Li Chenxu had just returned from abroad, Mu Xiaoyu had become much more cheerful and lively. Li Chenxu had initially felt uneasy about Song Yin's upcoming visit, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's lively demeanor instantly lifted his spirits.

It doesn't matter anymore. As long as the two of them can be together and Mu Xiaoyu can continue to be as happy as she is now, that's enough.

Song Yin arrived half an hour later, carrying several bags. They were all local specialties she brought back from the filming location. Although most things could be bought in Beijing, some things were still better in their place of origin.

Previously, Song Yin and Li Chenxu had never gotten along well because of Mu Xiaoyu. This time, Song Yin didn't expect Li Chenxu to help her carry her things, but to her surprise, when she came in, Li Chenxu not only greeted her but also helped her carry her luggage.

Song Yin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in surprise, and she seriously doubted that the Li Chenxu in front of her was a fake.

Taking advantage of the moment when Li Chenxu went into the kitchen, she quickly pulled Mu Xiaoyu aside and whispered, "Is this Li Chenxu for real? Is he out of his mind? He's being so nice to me? Did you see that? He even helped me carry things just now. The sun must have risen in the west."

Mu Xiaoyu was amused by Song Yin's reaction and couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and tapped Song Yin's forehead, saying, "What's going on in your head all day long? You're a living person, and the sun hasn't risen in the west yet."

Song Yin rubbed her temples where she had been touched, and glared at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of resentment: "You can't blame me. Think about how hostile Li Chenxu was to me before. It's really terrifying that he's treating me like this now."

"Then should I tell him to treat you the same way he used to?"

Mu Xiaoyu glanced at her, a half-smile on her face. Seeing this, Song Yin quickly shook her head, complaining, "You silly girl, after a few months apart, your heart is already completely with that Li Chenxu. Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, what's going on between Li Chenxu and Xu Sulin? I heard you say he's been by your side for the past few months, has he contacted that brat Xu Sulin?"

Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but glanced towards the kitchen and saw that Li Chenxu was making hot pot inside and wouldn't be able to come out for a while. She then lowered her voice and said, "I haven't seen him contact Xu Sulin. He's basically been with me for the past few months."

Upon hearing this, Song Yin nodded, glanced thoughtfully in Li Chenxu's direction, and seemed to want to say something, but Li Chenxu came out with a small hot pot at this moment, and the two immediately stopped talking.

No matter how close Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu are, there are some things that can only be said between friends.

Song Yin filmed in the deep mountains for several months and basically never had any good food. Li Chenxu had learned to cook from a professional chef, and he was also smart and learned everything quickly, so the hot pot he made was incredibly delicious.

After sitting down at the table, Song Yin didn't stand on ceremony and started eating heartily.

This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had seen Song Yin so anxious. Afraid that she would choke, she kept putting food on Song Yin's plate and occasionally patting her back. She was incredibly attentive.

Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu have been together for so long, and Mu Xiaoyu has never treated him like this before.

Seeing the two so intimate, their expressions immediately darkened.

He coughed lightly, covering his mouth, trying to get Mu Xiaoyu's attention. Unfortunately, Mu Xiaoyu didn't even glance at him, and even said to Song Yin, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. If you're not full, I'll ask Brother Chen Xu to make you some more."

Song Yin had noticed that Li Chenxu's expression was off long ago. Being a shrewd person, she could tell from Li Chenxu's expression that he was jealous of her. She felt both amused and exasperated, and a mischievous idea immediately formed in her mind.

She reached out and pinched Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheek, then kissed her and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu is so virtuous."
