The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 492: A Stark Contrast

Chapter 492: A Stark Contrast

Mu Xiaoyu forced a bright smile at Li Chenxu: "Mr. Li, what do you want to do so close to me?"

"I just wanted to wake you up."

Li Chenxu remained calm and withdrew his hand, saying, "We have arrived at Miss Mu's residence. Miss Mu may get out of the car now."

"But I don't think I said I was going back here tonight."

Mu Xiaoyu blinked innocently at Li Chenxu, her expression as if to say that since Li Chenxu had delivered the item to the wrong place, he had to deliver it to the correct location.

This time, however, Li Chenxu's refusal of Mu Xiaoyu was quite decisive. He gave Mu Xiaoyu a cold look and said, "Miss Mu, I am not your driver, nor am I anyone to you. I have no obligation to take you anywhere else. If you want to go somewhere, find someone else. Get out of the car."

“Who said he wasn’t someone to me? No matter what, you’re still my ex-husband. We used to live under the same roof and sleep in the same bed. Our relationship was much closer than that of ordinary people. Mr. Li, it hurts me to hear you say that.”

Mu Xiaoyu had always thought she was thin-skinned, but at this moment she realized that you can't judge a person's skin thickness based on just one thing.

For example, right now, if Song Yin heard what she said, she would probably give her a thumbs up and praise her for being shameless.

Li Chenxu remained calm. Upon hearing this, he gave Mu Xiaoyu a cool look, then got out of the car, walked to Mu Xiaoyu's side, opened the car door, and pulled her out under Mu Xiaoyu's incredulous gaze.

With a bang, the car door slammed shut, Li Chenxu got into the car, and it drove off.

Li Chenxu's series of actions were very fast, giving Mu Xiaoyu almost no time to react. By the time she came to her senses, Li Chenxu's car had already disappeared.

Mu Xiaoyu stood there dumbfounded, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't believe Li Chenxu's previous actions. Finally, she slapped her face twice.

The pain in her cheek brought her back to her senses. It wasn't a dream; Li Chenxu really had pulled her out of the car, abandoned her, and left.

She had always been pampered and cherished by Li Chenxu, and this was something that had never happened before, like this, where he abandoned her.

Having been treated like this all of a sudden, Mu Xiaoyu was truly dumbfounded.

But after feeling silly for a while, I couldn't help but laugh.

She felt that what Li Chenxu did was actually quite good.

In this way, compared to before, it's clear that Li Chenxu really spoiled her rotten before.

If the two of them reconcile in the future, she will cherish Li Chenxu even more.

The night wind was a bit chilly. Mu Xiaoyu stood at the door for a while before rubbing her arms, which were covered in goosebumps from the cold.

I've had a busy day, so I need to rest early. There's work to do at SQ Comics tomorrow, and I also need to cook for Li Chenxu. That's the hardest part; I'll have to get up early again.

Mu Xiaoyu was muttering to herself, so after closing the villa door, she didn't notice that not long after, the car, which should have left, suddenly returned and stopped in a very hidden spot under the villa's outer wall.

Li Chenxu sat in the car, looking out the window at the spot where the lights were on on the second floor of the villa.

Inside the huge villa, only the master bedroom on the second floor had its lights on at this moment. After a while, the lights went out, and the entire villa was plunged into darkness.

When Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu met today, it was around dinnertime. Judging from the way Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin looked, they were probably planning to have dinner.

As a result, I ran into Li Chenxu. Now I'm back home and haven't eaten. I was so busy at noon that I barely ate anything.

Li Chenxu knew all of this.

He used to give Mu Xiaoyu countless instructions and be extremely strict about her diet. Now, after only a short time apart, has Mu Xiaoyu changed so much?

Li Chenxu sat in the car, his deep eyes appearing somewhat obscure in the dim night.

He sat there for a long time, until he was sure the lights in the villa wouldn't turn on again, before saying to the driver, "Let's go."

The car started and had just driven out of the residential area when a call came from the Li family's old house.

Ever since the Bai family's matter was completely resolved, Old Master Li's attitude towards Li Chenxu has changed. The children of the mistresses who suddenly appeared have disappeared without a trace, and now Li Chenxu is the backbone of the entire Li family.

In the past, Old Master Li would say a few words to Li Chenxu, but now he almost never says a harsh word. When he occasionally asks about company matters, he just says that Li Chenxu should make the decisions.

Now they're suddenly calling again, I don't know what it's about.

Li Chenxu answered the phone, and the next second, the somewhat aged voice of Grandpa Li echoed in her ears: "Chenxu, are you free tonight? Come home, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

"what's up?"

Li Chenxu didn't have much affection for the Li family to begin with. In the past, he would do his best to fulfill his responsibilities because they had raised him and allowed him to enjoy a comfortable life for so many years.

But after Lei Chao's incident, all the remaining goodwill they had was gone.

Li Chenxu didn't consider himself a kind person; all his feelings had been given to Mu Xiaoyu alone. The little affection he had previously shared had been squandered by the Li family, so naturally he wasn't very friendly towards them now.

Upon hearing Old Master Li's words, Li Chenxu replied almost without thinking, "I'm tired tonight, we'll talk about coming back later..."

"Chen Xu, I called you back because I wanted to talk to you about your relationship with Miss Mu."

Judging from Old Master Li's tone, it was clear that she was dissatisfied with Mu Xiaoyu. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because as soon as he did, Li Chenxu immediately remembered what Old Master Li had done to Mu Xiaoyu in the past.

There were so many things to deal with regarding Mu Xiaoyu lately that he almost forgot about the time when Mu Xiaoyu nearly died at the hands of Old Master Li.

Thinking of this, Li Chenxu couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "Fine, I'll be back now."

It's time to settle that score with Mu Xiaoyu.

The distance from the villa to the Li family's old residence wasn't far; it took less than half an hour to get there. I originally thought that, as before, the entire Li family would be out. But to my surprise, besides the servants, only Old Master Li was inside the huge house.

Upon seeing Li Chenxu return, Old Master Li immediately stood up, intending to come over, but after taking only two steps, he stopped.

"You're back. Have you eaten yet? I always have someone make something for you now."
