The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 110 Because of your smile, the sun shines brightly.

Chapter 110 Because of your smile, the sun shines brightly.

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately stared at him in disbelief. Knowing Li Chenxu's personality, he was definitely not the type to do such a thing. For him to suddenly say this, either the sun had risen in the west, or… this old man was no ordinary person, capable of making Li Chenxu do something so unusual.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly suppressed her surprise, put on a slight smile, and said to the old man in front of her, "This tea set was originally intended for the elders in my family, but since you seem to be an expert in this field, Uncle, there is an old saying that a fine sword is given to a hero. If you want this tea set, you can take it."

"Is what you said true?"

Old Bai clearly hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He glanced at Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu with some suspicion, then looked at the tea set in their hands, his eyes filled with longing.

Even though he's so old, he looks like a child right now.

Mu Xiaoyu found it very amusing and couldn't help but laugh. She nodded and said, "It's true. No matter how good this tea set is, it's just an ordinary tea set in the eyes of us laymen. But it's different for you, sir."

Mu Xiaoyu looks completely different when she smiles and when she doesn't. Like now, with her gentle features and a faint smile on her lips as she looks at Elder Bai, she unconsciously attracts attention and easily makes people feel good about her.

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai abandoned her previous suspicions. She looked Mu Xiaoyu up and down, and it was unclear what she was thinking. After a while, her gaze suddenly shifted from Mu Xiaoyu to Li Chenxu.

"Girl, is this man your husband?"

Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Old Bai with some confusion, not understanding why he was asking these questions. However, out of respect for the old man, Mu Xiaoyu nodded and said, "He is my husband. Do you have any questions?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little regretful... By the way, how much did you pay for it? I'll have someone pay you right now."

When Elder Bai spoke, his voice was very soft, but Mu Xiaoyu and the other person were very close to him, so they could easily hear what he was saying.

Not knowing why Elder Bai would say that, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Chenxu's slightly gloomy face.

As if to comfort Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu quietly took Li Chenxu's hand and gently squeezed it.

Feeling Mu Xiaoyu's actions, Li Chenxu's expression finally improved.

In the end, Mu Xiaoyu and the others did not accept money from Elder Bai. They simply asked Elder Bai to help them choose a tea set that was not much different in price and of good quality before saying goodbye to Elder Bai and leaving.

Before parting, Elder Bai did not introduce himself, but only asked about Mu Xiaoyu's situation before leaving.

After Bai Lao's figure had completely disappeared from sight, Mu Xiaoyu shook Li Chenxu and hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? Who is this Bai Lao? I've never seen you so concerned about anything before."

Li Chenxu didn't answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately. Instead, he hugged her and kissed her before saying with slight dissatisfaction, "Do you know Bai Chengrong?"

Judging from Li Chenxu's expression, he was clearly still angry about what Elder Bai had said earlier. Mu Xiaoyu thought Li Chenxu was quite cute and had originally intended to tease him, but upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, she immediately abandoned that idea.

"Of course I know Bai Chengrong. I see him on TV every day. He's a high-ranking official. What does he have to do with that old man just now..."

Mu Xiaoyu stopped mid-sentence. She suddenly thought of the old man Bai who had just left. He seemed somewhat similar to Bai Chengrong on TV. Well, that's not quite right. If old man Bai were ten or twenty years younger, he would probably look a lot like Bai Chengrong. Besides, they both have the surname Bai...

"Could it be that the old man Bai just now was Bai Chengrong's father...?"

Li Chenxu nodded. Intersections between the political and business circles are not uncommon. In fact, due to the rapid development of the domestic economy, there is more and more cooperation between the government and businessmen. Therefore, the Li family and other families have a lot of contacts with the government.

In addition, the Li family already had some background in this area, so they naturally came into contact with more people. The Bai family, however, was different.

Now that Li Chenxu has decided to take action against the Xu family, if he can get in touch with the Bai family, it will be much easier.

After hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu's gaze towards him immediately changed. Li Chenxu thought Mu Xiaoyu would think he was being scheming, but seeing her staring at him without saying a word, Li Chenxu couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Just as Li Chenxu was about to ask, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up again: "Chenxu, how are you so amazing? If it were me, I wouldn't have had time to react in that situation. You're really incredible!"

If anyone else had said this, Li Chenxu might have thought they were flattering him. But coming from Mu Xiaoyu, it was a different story.

Even though Li Chenxu had grown up hearing flattery and praise from those around him, and had long since developed the ability to remain calm in the face of both honor and disgrace, he still couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face when he heard the praise from the woman he loved most.

No matter how mature a man is, he can sometimes act like a child in front of the woman he loves most.

Li Chenxu will give Mu Xiaoyu enough security, protect her and love her, but he will also show her a side that he has never shown to her before, a little secret that belongs only to the two of them.

Just like now, Li Chenxu suddenly hugged Mu Xiaoyu and said with a smile he couldn't hide, "Xiaoyu, what am I supposed to do with this? You're always teasing me, I don't have that much self-control."

Mu Xiaoyu's biggest flaw is that she flirts without realizing it. She simply says what's on her mind without any intention of flirting.

Hearing Li Chenxu say this, she was immediately confused.

"Chen Xu, when...when did I flirt with you..."

"You do not know?"

Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, her gaze towards Li Chenxu incredibly serious. She truly didn't know when she had flirted with him. If doing such things were effortless for her, she wouldn't have had to dwell on the misunderstandings with Li Chenxu, waiting for him to intervene before resolving them.

Besides, she's so shy, she wouldn't dare to do that.
