The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 68 Breaking up

Chapter 68 Tearing Off the Face

"So, Mr. Li, you asked Ms. Chen Lan to leave the magazine to protect her? And you arranged other work for her, right?"

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's answer, the entertainment reporters immediately became excited. Forgetting their fear of Li Chenxu, they quickly raised their microphones and approached him, asking excitedly.

Seeing that the entertainment reporters had taken the bait, Li Chenxu curled his lips and nodded, saying, "That's right. Chen Lan has been by Xiaoyu's side for almost a year. After what happened, Xiaoyu... is actually not feeling too good either. It's just that my Xiaoyu has always been one to say one thing and another to do another, and she's also shy. There are some things she's too embarrassed to say, so only I, as her husband, can do it. You're all sensible people, so I'm sure you all understand what I'm saying."

At this moment, Li Chenxu's expression softened slightly, and he spoke with a serious expression, not at all like he was lying.

Chen Lan resigned from her job herself, and Mu Xiaoyu forgot to tell Li Chenxu about the conversation Chen Lan had with Mu Xiaoyu that day. Li Chenxu was unaware of all this, but the entertainment reporters immediately revealed all the information.

Li Chenxu, being such a clever person, immediately grasped the key point from their words.

Since Chen Lan is trying to mislead others and make them think that Chen Lan's work is something they deliberately did, why don't they play along? That's why Li Chenxu said those words just now.

Chen Lan never expected Li Chenxu to pull such a move. She stared blankly at Li Chenxu, completely forgetting to react.

Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood Li Chenxu's intention. She feigned a conflicted and troubled expression, reached out to help Chen Lan up, and said, "I didn't want to tell you about this, I didn't want you to overthink it. But now... since it's been leaked, you know it, so be it... Chen Lan, I've never blamed you. I hope you won't keep dwelling on what happened before, otherwise, it will only hurt you."

Mu Xiaoyu spoke with such sincerity; who can't act? Chen Lan can, and so can Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu.

Chen Lan is just a young girl; she can't compare to someone like Mu Xiaoyu who has lived two lives, let alone Li Chenxu, who has been training since childhood.

With just a few words from the two of them, all of Chen Lan's schemes and tricks were shattered.

If Chen Lan still doesn't know what's good for her and is desperately trying to smear Mu Xiaoyu and the others, then she will only expose herself in the end. Chen Lan shouldn't be that stupid.

Presumably, Chen Lan had already come to her senses by now. Facing Mu Xiaoyu's concerned expression, Chen Lan almost gritted her teeth to powder. She had been planning for so long, all for this day. Who would have thought that Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu would resolve this matter so easily?

If it weren't for the many entertainment reporters in front of her, Chen Lan would have even wanted to fight Mu Xiaoyu to the death!

The misunderstanding was resolved. Because Li Chenxu was so terrifying, the entertainment reporters dared not ask any more questions. After asking a few necessary questions, the group dispersed.

Once all the entertainment reporters had left, Mu Xiaoyu immediately smiled and said to Chen Lan, who was gritting her teeth, "Sister Chen Lan, it's still early, would you like to come to my house for a while?"

Who knows if those departing entertainment reporters are secretly plotting some 'explosive' news? If Chen Lan reveals her true colors to Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu at this moment, she'll be finished.

But if she really went to the villa with Mu Xiaoyu, who knows what terrible revenge awaited her!

Thinking about this, and looking at Mu Xiaoyu's smiling eyes, Chen Lan was filled with regret. Why did those stupid entertainment reporters have to choose this place?

"What's wrong with Chen Lan? Could it be... that you're still upset that Shen Xu and I took it upon ourselves to change your job?"

"How...how could this be? I was just so happy. I never expected Sister Xiaoyu to forgive me..."

Seeing Chen Lan's desperate attempt to suppress her laughter, Mu Xiaoyu almost burst out laughing. Afraid that she would lose her composure, she quickly grabbed Li Chenxu's hand, coughed lightly, and smiled, saying, "In that case, let's go back first. We can talk about the rest when we get to the villa."

His words were full of profound meaning, especially the look in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes when she turned to look at Chen Lan, which sent chills down one's spine.

Chen Lan had never seen Mu Xiaoyu like this before, and was quite shocked. By the time she came to her senses, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had already left.

Seeing this, Chen Lan gritted her teeth and finally followed.

The villa community where Li Chenxu and his group lived had excellent privacy. Without the permission of the residents, outsiders could not enter at all. More importantly, even if they did enter, visitors had to make extremely detailed registrations.

So the instant Mu Xiaoyu and the others led Chen Lan inside, Mu Xiaoyu turned around and slapped Chen Lan hard across the face.

She's not some saintly white lotus who would remain unmoved after Chen Lan did something like that!

"Chen Lan, I wasn't planning on arguing with you before, but who knew you would be so dishonest? You can lay a hand on me, but you're so brainless as to try and lay a hand on my man. I won't waste my breath on you, I'll just tell you straight, this time, you're finished."

The most similar thing between Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu is that they are both extremely protective of their own. No matter what others say about them or hurt them, they can endure it, and then they will accumulate strength and strike back when the opportunity is right.

But the one thing they simply cannot tolerate is when those people hurt the people they care about.

Despite Mu Xiaoyu's calm demeanor at the time, she was secretly plotting to teach Chen Lan a lesson. Now that they were inside the residential area, the paparazzi outside couldn't see what was happening inside, so how could she possibly tolerate it?

This slap was delivered with absolutely no force; the moment it landed, half of Chen Lan's face turned red.

"Mu Xiaoyu! You actually hit me!"

Having already broken off relations, Chen Lan was too lazy to pretend anymore. Covering the half of her face that had been slapped, she pointed at Mu Xiaoyu, ready to hurl insults.

But before she could utter those harsh words, when her gaze fell upon Li Chenxu behind Mu Xiaoyu, whose eyes were sinister and as cold as a venomous snake, she simply couldn't bring herself to say them.

How could Chen Lan possibly admit that she was frightened by Li Chenxu? Unable to bring herself to say it, she wanted to take action directly.

Unfortunately, just like before, before she could even touch Mu Xiaoyu, someone grabbed her by the neck.
