The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 203 The Promise with Bai Luo

Chapter 203 The Promise with Bai Luo

After waking up, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't fall back asleep. She put on her coat and went to the balcony, gazing into the distance at the gray sky.

Actually, she herself is somewhat confused about how things have come to this point.

When she was first reborn, her biggest desire was to catch the murderer who killed her in her previous life. However, after being reborn and reconciling with Li Chenxu, her initial thoughts gradually veered off course.

She still wants to catch the murderer who killed her in her past life, but now she wants more to live her life well and happily.

She was reborn, and she knew better than anyone how precious this new life was.

However, things have come to this point, and neither the wish I had when I was first reborn nor the wish I have now has been fulfilled.

It has even begun to break down little by little.

Looking at that gray sky, it was just like Mu Xiaoyu's heart, shrouded in smog.

She doesn't know what to do. Can someone teach her?

Mu Xiaoyu stood on the balcony until the cold morning wind made her body stiff before she went back inside.

She had arranged to meet Bai Luo around 7 p.m. She had initially thought of meeting during the day, but then she realized that Li Chenxu was currently holding her under house arrest, and if she went out during the day, she might not have a chance at all.

The chances of going out are probably higher at night.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't see Li Chenxu all day, and he didn't return by evening. With the appointed time with Bai Luo approaching, Mu Xiaoyu had no choice but to begin taking action.

The area below the villa was quiet, as most of the servants were still busy after dinner. Mu Xiaoyu could see the bodyguards patrolling below from her balcony upstairs, but their numbers didn't seem to be many, and it appeared no different from before.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu was filled with doubt. Yesterday, Li Chenxu had clearly said he would place her under house arrest. But the number of bodyguards hadn't increased at all…

Mu Xiaoyu felt like she had overlooked something, but since last night, her mind had been a complete mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all. In the end, she was too lazy to think about it anymore, since the most important thing right now was to find a way out.

She walked to the alarm device inside the villa and then rang it directly.

Immediately, alarms blared throughout the entire villa.

Upon hearing the sound, all the bodyguards and servants ran towards Mu Xiaoyu's direction.

They were all well-trained and extremely loyal to Liu Fuzhou. If anything happened, they all knew that the first thing to do was to protect Mu Xiaoyu's safety.

Before they arrived, Mu Xiaoyu hid behind the door of a room at the bottom of the stairs. When she saw everyone rushing towards her room, she quickly went downstairs.

There were two bodyguards at the door, but one was on the phone reporting something and the other was gathering manpower, so no one noticed that Mu Xiaoyu had secretly slipped away.

Mu Xiaoyu's plan went very smoothly. If she hadn't lived here for so long and knew the situation inside and out, she wouldn't have been able to do it so easily.

She had thought it would take longer to get here, but to her surprise, she escaped so easily.

It wasn't until she was in the taxi, watching her villa recede further and further away, that she believed she had gotten out so easily...

From the moment she noticed that the number of bodyguards at home hadn't increased, to the fact that things were going so smoothly when she came out, Mu Xiaoyu became increasingly suspicious.

Something was very wrong. She knew Li Chenxu's personality all too well. He was a very cautious person, and within his capabilities, he would always do things perfectly.

Besides, given how angry he was yesterday, if he really wanted to keep her under house arrest, he shouldn't have been so lenient...

"Could it be... that he did it on purpose..."

Mu Xiaoyu murmured to herself; after thinking it over and over, this was the only explanation she could come up with. Even so, Mu Xiaoyu still couldn't understand why Li Chenxu would do something like that on purpose…

She felt it was all too chaotic. She had thought she knew Li Chenxu well enough, but now it seemed that she knew far too little about him.

However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't have time to think about Li Chenxu right now. Not long after getting into the car, she called Bai Luo.

The agreed time was approaching, and she estimated it would take her another ten minutes or so to get there, so she thought she should let Bai Luo know first.

Bai Luo's phone rang a few times before being hung up.

"Sister Xiaoyu, I'm not available to answer the phone right now."

Within seconds, Bai Luo's text message arrived. Seeing it, Mu Xiaoyu didn't think much of it. After replying to Bai Luo, she leaned back and closed her eyes to rest.

She was actually exhausted, but the more she was in this situation, the clearer her mind became.

She was really disappointed in Li Chenxu after what happened yesterday, especially his words, which felt like sharp thorns pricking at her heart.

But as this heartbreaking scene unfolded, so too did the almost unparalleled kindness Li Chenxu had shown her during this time come to mind…

After her anger subsided, Mu Xiaoyu had calmed down considerably. Regardless, she felt that once Li Chenxu had calmed down, she still needed to have a proper talk with him.

She has feelings for Li Chenxu, and she believes that Li Chenxu also has feelings for her.

In this life, it's not easy for two people to stay together until the end. If she could, she really wouldn't want to be separated from Li Chenxu.

She didn't even dare to think about it...

"Miss, here we are."

As Mu Xiaoyu was lost in thought, the driver's voice immediately pulled her back to reality. She snapped out of it, paid the fare, and quickly got off the bus.

She had just gotten out of the car when her phone rang.

"Xiaoyu, go wait for me on that bench under the park's landmark building. I'll be there in a bit."

It was a text message from Bai Luo. Thinking that something might have happened to Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu went to the place mentioned in the text message.

However, as soon as she arrived there, she saw a familiar cell phone on the bench, but there was no one there.

This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally began to feel that something was wrong, and it was at this moment that the phone rang again.
