The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 73 Hitting the road

Chapter 73 On the Road

Having said that, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly changed the subject, and the next moment she showed Li Chenxu a very bright smile: "But since you have already included Song Yin in your shortlist, then if you make her the female lead in my movies and TV shows in the future, won't I have more opportunities to meet her? Even if I don't see her now, it's not a big deal."

Mu Xiaoyu is just like that. Many women would care about or even fuss over these things, but she doesn't think about them at all. Apart from her closest relatives and the people she loves most, everything else is superfluous. She doesn't need to create any rift with the people she loves most because of such things.

Li Chenxu had already anticipated that Mu Xiaoyu would say that, and his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu became even more tender.

Since they didn't need to visit Song Yin, the two decided to proceed with their planned sightseeing. City B had a thriving economy and a rich history and culture, so there were many places to visit.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't like those commercialized tourist attractions, so she went to some undeveloped scenic spots with Li Chenxu.

Actually, Li Chenxu brought Mu Xiaoyu to City B this time to scout locations for Mu Xiaoyu's new comic book. Although the new book continues the previous style and is still a suspense comic, the story is set in the 1970s and 1980s.

As the capital city and economic hub, Beijing has seen almost all its tourist attractions become commercialized. If you're looking for inspiration or inspiration in Beijing, it's far less appealing than other undeveloped locations.

So before setting off, Mu Xiaoyu brought her sketchbook and DSLR camera. There was so much stuff; if Mu Xiaoyu were alone, she simply wouldn't have been able to carry it all. Luckily, she had Li Chenxu by her side, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.

"Maybe I shouldn't bring the DSLR; I have just too much stuff."

Because it's a day trip, and they might not be back until evening, besides some tools for Mu Xiaoyu's field trip, they also brought some food and drinks. Although they will be accompanied by two people for safety, the people will also be carrying their own safety equipment, which already puts them under considerable pressure.

Although Li Chenxu is cold and aloof to outsiders, he never bothers his subordinates too much with these matters. He does everything himself, because he is a man and not so delicate.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu shook his head and said, "This little bit of stuff isn't heavy for me. Besides, we'll use up a lot of things along the way, which will reduce the weight. It's nothing. You just need to do your own thing."

Mu Xiaoyu wasn't one to be coy or pretentious. Since Li Chenxu had already said so, she didn't need to say anything more. So she nodded, and the group got into the car.

Today they're going to an ancient town in the mountains of City B, a place Li Chenxu specifically asked someone to find out about before they went. Many art students, including those in professions like Mu Xiaoyu, go there.

More importantly, the area has never been developed, and due to its inconvenient transportation, it has retained the original appearance of an ancient town from the last century, compared to the dazzling world outside.

Since Mu Xiaoyu's new book is set in the 1980s and 90s, this location is the perfect place for her to scout locations.

Because it was in the mountains, the journey was very bumpy. However, due to her background, Mu Xiaoyu was used to it, and after more than an hour's drive, she felt no discomfort when she arrived at her destination.

In contrast, the other three men sitting in the car, including Li Chenxu, all looked deathly pale.

Previously, Mu Xiaoyu was wondering why Li Chenxu hadn't said a word the whole way, but now, seeing Li Chenxu's appearance when he got out of the car, she felt both amused and heartbroken.

"Eat a lemon candy first, it will make you feel better."

Mu Xiaoyu walked to Li Chenxu's side, peeled a lemon candy for him with heartache, and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath. She continued, "If I had known you were so prone to motion sickness, I wouldn't have come here. I could have just found some information online."

No matter what kind of man it is, they all have a common problem in many things: they can't bear to let others doubt their abilities. This applies to everything.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu shook his head and said with a pale face, "I'm fine. It's just that I'm not used to being in a place like this for the first time. I'll be fine in a bit."

When he said this, he pretended to be calm, which made Mu Xiaoyu feel helpless and heartbroken.

However, she also knew that men were concerned about their image, so she didn't expose Li Chenxu's words. She simply said, "Whether you're used to it or not, I feel sorry for you. You've come this time, but we won't come here next time, okay?"

Her measured approach and gentle, yet slightly coquettish manner brought a smile to Li Chenxu's face. Even his earlier discomfort seemed to vanish because of Mu Xiaoyu's concern.

Ignoring the other bodyguards present, Li Chenxu put his arm around Mu Xiaoyu's slender waist and kissed her on the lips: "Let's talk about the future later. Maybe I'll get used to this kind of road next time. Let's put our things in the inn in town first, and then go to the cave I inquired about beforehand."

Before coming, Li Chenxu showed Mu Xiaoyu several scenic spots that were suitable for Mu Xiaoyu's new comic book scenes, one of which was the town's famous karst cave.

In Mu Xiaoyu's hometown, there used to be a very popular karst cave, attracting a large number of tourists during holidays. However, the cave was undeveloped before, and there were many safety concerns.

A few years before Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu got married, the developers came to visit. However, the area was developed within a year, preserving the original appearance of the cave and implementing many safety measures, which attracted more tourists to the cave.

Not long after the cave was developed, Mu Xiaoyu broke up with that person and went to university in City A. After that... she married Li Chenxu.

Thinking back now, even Mu Xiaoyu herself doesn't know why Li Chenxu married her in the first place.

"Watch where you're going."

Mu Xiaoyu's mind was filled with scenes from a few years ago, and she didn't notice the pebbly path under her feet. If Li Chenxu hadn't been holding her hand, she might have fallen right now.

The two had reached the foot of the mountain; a short walk further up would lead them to the cave. Because it was still undeveloped, the area was lush and verdant, a much more rustic and beautiful sight than anything in the city.

Since leaving home years ago, Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen such scenery in a long time, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The scenery here is so beautiful, it's almost the same as my hometown."

"It is beautiful, but your area has been developed now and it has lost its original charm."
