The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 26 I’m here

Chapter 26 I'm Here

Just as Mu Xiaoyu was inwardly sighing, the car stopped. Li Chenxu got out of the car first, walked over to Mu Xiaoyu, and personally opened the car door for her.

Even when the two of them returned to the old house before, though they didn't show it openly, the cold atmosphere between them was palpable to everyone. Perhaps because of Li Chenxu's attitude, even the servants in the old house didn't treat Mu Xiaoyu very well.

The servants waiting outside were utterly astonished by Li Chenxu's doting attitude towards Mu Xiaoyu. But no matter how surprised they were, they dared not show it.

But she began to worry: what if Mu Xiaoyu complained about Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's relationship if they really got along?

Some of the more timid servants were already sweating profusely, and when they saw their alma mater and Li Chenxu's hands tightly clasped together, they turned pale with fright.

Mu Xiaoyu had no idea what the servants were thinking. All she could think about was what she should do when she saw Father Li later.

Although I don't know exactly what Li's father will say, I can guess with my fingers that it certainly won't be anything nice.

She didn't want to suffer those insults for no reason, and as a junior, she couldn't directly contradict him, so she had to think of some ways to deal with it and minimize her suffering.

As if sensing Mu Xiaoyu's flustered mood, Li Chenxu tightened his grip on her hand, and then suddenly stopped and turned to face Mu Xiaoyu.

"You don't need to worry about anything, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Li Chenxu's voice was gentle yet firm, seemingly carrying a magical power that instantly calmed Mu Xiaoyu's panicked heart. The old Li Chenxu would never have uttered such words.

But now, Li Chenxu not only spoke up, but seemed genuinely going to protect him.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she couldn't quite remember what Li Chenxu looked like in her past life. All she could think of now was Li Chenxu's gentle, slightly assertive yet protective demeanor… Every aspect of him was good.

It seems that in her mind now, Li Chenxu has no flaws whatsoever...

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was just staring at him blankly without saying a word, Li Chenxu thought that Mu Xiaoyu was still scared. As if to comfort her, he reached out and rubbed Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair again, and then lowered his head to kiss the corner of Mu Xiaoyu's lips, just like treating his most beloved baby. His eyes and brows were full of tenderness that no outsider had ever seen.

This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally reacted. Although it wasn't in public, there were quite a few people from the Li family present, and being treated like this by Li Chenxu made her feel like she was being watched.

Mu Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, and a faint blush appeared on her fair face, as if she had applied natural blush, making her look incredibly beautiful.

The more Li Chenxu looked at Mu Xiaoyu, the more he liked her. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming more and more harmonious, and he no longer restrained his feelings for Mu Xiaoyu as before. At this moment, his eyes were filled with obvious love when he looked at Mu Xiaoyu.

Fearing that staying outside any longer would displease the people inside, Mu Xiaoyu quickly blushed and pulled Li Chenxu inside.

The Li family is no ordinary nouveau riche; they are a true aristocratic family. Although they are now in business, they started out as a scholarly family. This villa has withstood the test of time for almost a hundred years. Even though it has been renovated and filled with many modern elements over the years, you can still see the villa's age in many places.

The villa has three floors in total. The first floor is the living room and dining area. When they entered, they immediately saw Mr. Li sitting in the living room with a serious expression on his face.

He clearly heard them come in, but didn't even glance at them.

Li Chenxu seemed to be used to it, and showed no reaction on his face. He simply took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and walked to his father before calling him "father" in a nonchalant manner.

Mu Xiaoyu also looked obedient and called out "Dad".

Unfortunately, it seemed that Father Li's dissatisfaction with Mu Xiaoyu was ingrained in his bones. No matter how obedient Mu Xiaoyu was at this moment, she still snorted coldly when she heard "Dad".

In truth, Mr. Li's thinking was very simple: if Mu Xiaoyu didn't have any connection with the Li family, her own qualities would be quite good. But if she did become associated with the Li family, he wouldn't even consider Mu Xiaoyu.

In Li's father's eyes, Li Chenxu was perfect, almost without any flaws. A man like Li Chenxu deserved the best woman.

There are women in the capital who are better than Mu Xiaoyu, but he just can't understand why Li Chenxu would fall for Mu Xiaoyu!

However, what Li's father didn't know was that if he couldn't figure it out, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out either.

After all, Li Chenxu doesn't love her at all, and she has no background to help him. Why would Li Chenxu marry her? Could it just be a passing fancy?

"I heard you're getting a divorce soon?"

It was unclear how much time had passed before Mr. Li finally spoke. He was clearly in a bad mood; his tone was tinged with anger.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately came to her senses. Before she could speak, Li Chenxu subtly pulled her behind him and said to his father with a calm expression, "These are all baseless rumors."

"Complete fabrication? Li Chenxu! Do you think I'm stupid? It was clearly Mu Xiaoyu who proposed the divorce, do you think I didn't know?"

Suddenly, Li's father got angry and started yelling at Li Chenxu. On the surface, he was scolding Li Chenxu, but in reality, he was targeting Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu was indeed at fault in the divorce, and even if her father-in-law is targeting her because of this, she has nothing to say.

So when Mu Xiaoyu heard what Li's father said, she just stood silently behind Li Chenxu without saying a word.

Li Chenxu listened calmly to his father's words and immediately said, "Regardless of what happened before, at least for now, Xiaoyu and I have no intention of getting a divorce. Dad, if you're calling Xiaoyu and me back just because of this, I don't think it's necessary. You'd better not bring this up again."

After all, they are father and son. Both are strong-willed, and Li Chenxu is equally so. When two stubborn people meet, neither will back down. However, Li's father has one advantage: he is Li Chenxu's father, and no matter how angry Li Chenxu is right now, he can't do anything to him.

Perhaps because of this, Li's father became even more fearless.

"You may not have any thoughts of divorce, Li Chenxu, but can you guarantee that the woman behind you doesn't?"
