The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 316 There’s news

There's news in Chapter 316.

Mu Xiaoyu opened her eyes, still a little dazed, but she held Li Chenxu's hand tightly.

"The doctor said last night that you need to rest well these days."

When Mu Xiaoyu said this, her beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she looked extremely serious. Li Chenxu stared at Mu Xiaoyu for a few seconds, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

He gently tapped Mu Xiaoyu's forehead with his other hand and said with a smile, "I'm just going to wash up. I certainly won't be efficient in my current condition, so I might as well stay home and rest."

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief after Li Chenxu said that. She let go of Li Chenxu's hand, lay back down in bed, and muttered softly, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu was speechless. Even if he wanted it, Mu Xiaoyu would have to give him that opportunity. The key point was that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't given him that opportunity back then.

However, Li Chenxu did not say these words aloud, knowing that Mu Xiaoyu would say he was bullying her again.

So Li Chenxu had no choice but to admit his mistake, saying, "It's my fault. I'll definitely tell you in advance next time. You should get some sleep first; look how bad your dark circles are."

Li Chenxu's words only made things worse. Mu Xiaoyu immediately closed her eyes. At their age, their faces are what they care about most. Dark circles under their eyes would make them look terrible.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's nervous appearance, Li Chenxu immediately found it amusing.

I had originally planned to tease Mu Xiaoyu, but when I saw the exhaustion on Mu Xiaoyu's face, I immediately gave up the idea.

Li Chenxu covered Mu Xiaoyu with the blanket again, said nothing more, and then left.

The maid was already waiting outside. When she saw Li Chenxu come out, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, breakfast is ready. Would you and your wife like to have breakfast now?"

What did you make for breakfast?

"Last night, my wife mentioned that you had a cold, so she made some light and easily digestible porridge and some snacks."

Li Chenxu nodded upon hearing this, but finally said, "Set aside Xiaoyu's breakfast separately and serve mine first. Also, be quiet when cleaning during the day; she's still sleeping, so don't disturb her."

Li Chenxu gave very detailed instructions. The maid in front of her was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Chenxu. As a result, Li Chenxu immediately caught her in that glance.

When he mentioned Mu Xiaoyu, his eyes were incredibly gentle, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the maid was extremely sharp.

The maid trembled at the sight, quickly lowered her head, and stammered, "I...I understand."

"If you understand, then go down."

Li Chenxu frowned and glanced at the maid in front of him, then turned around and went to the master bedroom without saying another word.

The maid who remained behind was so frightened by Li Chenxu's appearance that she broke out in a cold sweat. Although the servants in the villa had some contact with Li Chenxu, they would hardly exchange a word with him for days. They spent much more time with Mu Xiaoyu.

They had always known that Li Chenxu was a terrifying person, but they never expected him to be this terrifying.

The maid stood there for a long while before suddenly coming to her senses. She hurriedly and shakily went downstairs. She might have had some thoughts of getting closer to Li Chenxu before, but now, those thoughts were truly gone.

Li Chenxu is truly terrifying!

After taking a shower, Li Chenxu ate a simple breakfast and then began handling company affairs at home.

Although I told Mu Xiaoyu that I would rest well at home, I still couldn't put aside my work at the company, especially since it was the busiest time of the year.

"Sir, I'm afraid you'll have to make a trip today. We've made some progress on the matter you asked us to investigate yesterday."

The company documents were sent by the secretary. After Li Chenxu reviewed them, Assistant Lin called.

The importance of this matter is self-evident. If it hadn't come to the point where Li Chenxu had to intervene, Assistant Lin would never have made the call.

"I understand. You can come right now. I'll pack up and head out."

After a few seconds of silence, Li Chenxu decided to go out. His cold wasn't completely gone yet; his fever had only recently subsided, and he still felt terrible. If he went out now, his cold would definitely flare up again, and Mu Xiaoyu would be angry with him then.

However, at this point he really had no other choice, since he had to do it.

Thinking about the recent troubles, Li Chenxu couldn't help but sigh. He helplessly rubbed his tired brow, then went back to the bedroom, changed out of his pajamas, and quietly went to the bedside.

Mu Xiaoyu was still fast asleep when Li Chenxu came over. She didn't even open her eyes and was sleeping soundly.

After falling asleep, Mu Xiaoyu looked like a docile rabbit. Her fair face appeared even whiter against the dark sheets, making her look cute and pretty.

Li Chenxu's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out and stroke Mu Xiaoyu's soft cheek. The skin he touched was as white and tender as tofu. Mu Xiaoyu had been saying lately that she had aged and wasn't as pretty as before.

But in Li Chenxu's eyes, Mu Xiaoyu was still as beautiful as when he first met her.

Time has only made her more mature and stronger inside.

Li Chenxu gazed at Mu Xiaoyu quietly for a long time, and finally kissed her on the lips before getting up and leaving.

Before leaving, Li Chenxu left a small note for Mu Xiaoyu, explaining why he was leaving. He knew that if he didn't tell Mu Xiaoyu in advance, she would definitely be angry.

He didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to get angry often, as it was bad for her health.

When Li Chenxu woke up this morning, he hadn't paid attention to the weather outside. Only when he went outside did he realize that it was still snowing lightly. The heavy snow from last night probably hadn't stopped, and the snow piled up into a thick layer outside, which the shovelers couldn't keep up with.

"Sir, due to the weather, flights from the airport to the neighboring city have been temporarily suspended, and the heavy snow has blocked the train tracks. We can only drive there now."

Upon seeing Li Chenxu emerge, Assistant Lin quickly stepped forward to take the documents from Li Chenxu's hand, and as he followed Li Chenxu to the car, he spoke.

Li Chenxu frowned and didn't speak immediately. He glanced at the light snow that was still falling from the sky, and after a while, he said, "With the snow falling like this, is it still possible to drive on the national highway?"

"The national highway is also temporarily closed, so we can only take a detour and use a side road."
