Chapter 325 What I Learned From You

"I'll investigate? Do you think he won't find out if I investigate? If what you say is true, that Lin Qing betrayed you and is on the government's side, then he'll definitely have his suspicions when I take action."

"I'm not talking about Mr. Bai yourself, but about using the Bai family's power."

Clearly, Li Chenxu had already considered everything before Bai Ye arrived. When answering Bai Ye, he was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

This time, Bai Ye remained silent. On the surface, Lin Zhu's matter was solely Li Chenxu's responsibility, but it was possible that Lin Zhu was also involved in this incident.

If that's really the case, then he has no choice but to get involved in Lin Zhu's affairs.

However, if the family's influence is used to investigate Lin Qing, then this time the Bai family will be completely dragged into the mess.

Bai Ye is, after all, the current head of the Bai family, and there are many things he cannot decide immediately. He has too many things to consider, so after hearing Li Chenxu's words, Bai Ye remained silent for a long time before replying, "I cannot agree to this matter immediately."

"How much time does Mr. Bai need to consider this?"

If it were anything else, Bai Ye could take his time to consider it, but on this matter, he simply didn't have much time. After all, the longer he delayed, the more unpredictable things would become regarding Lin Qing's situation.

Bai Ye seemed very dissatisfied with Li Chenxu's aggressive manner. Upon hearing this, his face immediately darkened. However, before he could speak, Li Chenxu continued, "Mr. Bai, it's not that I want to force you. I said before that Mr. Bai could stay away from this turmoil, but Mr. Bai chose to stay. Moreover, he said such righteous words at the time. Since Mr. Bai has chosen to continue, then you should be prepared for this day."

At this moment, Li Chenxu's tone suddenly became sharp, especially his eyes as he looked at Bai Ye, which were fiercely aggressive.

Bai Ye was no pushover either, and Li Chenxu's words did give him a wake-up call. However, he already disliked Li Chenxu, and now that the other party was speaking to him in such a tone, he couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

So the next second, Bai Ye sneered and looked at Li Chenxu with a hint of disdain, saying, "Mr. Li, your provocations are useless in front of me. I would like to say that if Mr. Li hadn't made a mistake in choosing his people, he probably wouldn't have ended up like this."

The two exchanged barbs, their words filled with sarcasm and ridicule. Whether they were genuinely good-natured or just pretending, no matter how unpleasant their expressions were, they never actually laid a hand on each other.

Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Luo secretly peeked into the study from outside. They looked at each other and couldn't help but exchange a speechless glance.

"Sister Xiaoyu, do you think Mr. Li and my brother will get into a fight?"

"Of course not. You see, they have such stubborn and proud personalities. They're both very concerned about their image. Even if they say something really outrageous, they won't fight."

Mu Xiaoyu looked at Bai Luo and said, then saw Bai Luo freeze in place, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Mu Xiaoyu, you seem to know the two of us quite well."

Before Mu Xiaoyu could think further, she heard Li Chenxu's voice, filled with gritted teeth. She quickly turned around and saw that the two people who had been sitting at the desk had already walked to the door.

Putting Bai Ye aside for now, just look at Li Chenxu's face right now. It's as black as the bottom of a pot, clearly showing that he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words clearly!

Seeing Li Chenxu's gloomy face, Mu Xiaoyu gave the two of them an awkward smile, then winked at Bai Luo and turned to run away.

But as if Li Chenxu had anticipated her move, as soon as she turned around, Li Chenxu stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms.

"I have other matters to attend to at home, so I won't entertain Mr. and Miss Bai any longer. Please make yourselves at home."

As he spoke, he picked up Mu Xiaoyu and headed towards the master bedroom of the house right in front of the Bai siblings.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't dare to resist at this moment. Just thinking about the scene of Li Chenxu carrying her to the bedroom in front of the Bai siblings made her face burn.

After this, I'll never have the nerve to go looking for Bai Luo again.

Upon entering the bedroom, Li Chenxu immediately put Mu Xiaoyu down the moment he closed the door. However, before Mu Xiaoyu's feet even touched the ground, her slender waist was tightly embraced by Li Chenxu.

"What did you just say? Say it again?"

Li Chenxu held Mu Xiaoyu tightly, his lips pressed against her ear as he spoke, and his hot breath made Mu Xiaoyu's legs go weak.

She reached out to push Li Chenxu away, but her hands were so weak that the gesture felt more like a reluctant acceptance.

"You...you let me go first! I didn't mean what I said!"

Mu Xiaoyu sensed that the atmosphere was getting increasingly strange. Li Chenxu had clearly been interrogating her earlier, but now the atmosphere felt more and more ambiguous. What exactly did Li Chenxu want to do? After all, the Bai siblings might not have left yet!

"So what if I didn't let go? Xiaoyu, if no one else was around, it would be fine, but the Bai siblings were there too, and you actually said those things to me. Do you know how heartbroken I was?"

As Li Chenxu spoke, his voice grew lower and lower, carrying a pitiful tone, as if Mu Xiaoyu were an utterly wicked villain.

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's tone, Mu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and realized that she had indeed been in the wrong back then, and perhaps she shouldn't have spoken to Li Chenxu that way.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's throat tightened, and she finally whispered, "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time. Besides... besides, you just said yesterday that you were willing to be a henpecked husband, and now less than a day later, you've already gone back on your word."

Li Chenxu knows how to feign pitifulness, so why can't Mu Xiaoyu do the same?

Mu Xiaoyu isn't stupid. Every time Li Chenxu teases her like that, she might not realize it's intentional once or twice, but if she still doesn't know after it happens a lot, then she's really stupid.

Li Chenxu was clearly surprised by Mu Xiaoyu's words. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of mockery.

He released Mu Xiaoyu, looked down at the expression on her face, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the fleeting hint of smugness on her face.

He lowered his head and bit Mu Xiaoyu's lips, saying, "You know perfectly well that's not what I meant, Xiaoyu, you've become bad too."

"Even if it's broken, it's because I learned it from you."
