Chapter 256 Reluctant to Part
Li Chenxu's appearance only strengthened Bai Luo's resolve.
Something was definitely not right. To prevent Li Chenxu and Bai Ye from fighting, Bai Luo shook her head and quickly said "No need" before fleeing away.
Watching Bai Luo's departing figure, Mu Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. She nudged Li Chenxu with her elbow and said with a hint of teasing, "Brother Chenxu, why do you keep scaring young girls all the time? Luo Luo didn't mention Mr. Bai on purpose."
Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu's question immediately. After glancing at Mu Xiaoyu with his dark eyes, he said indifferently, "Of course I know she didn't mean it. However, if I'm not mistaken, this girl must have had the idea of trying to match you and Bai Ye together before."
"You could even guess that?"
Mu Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated. She knew Li Chenxu's personality; he was actually a very generous person in many things and wouldn't fuss over trivial matters.
But whenever it came to matters involving the two of them, she even felt that Li Chen was like a woman, extremely calculating and petty. However, it wasn't off-putting at all; instead, it had a charming contrast that she found adorable.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu's heart stirred slightly. She stood on tiptoe, cupped Li Chenxu's face, and kissed him, saying with a smile, "You, you're such a grown-up, how come you're still like a child?"
"What? You don't like it?"
Li Chenxu didn't move an inch. He spoke with a slightly arrogant tone, but his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Mu Xiaoyu.
How could Mu Xiaoyu not like him? Seeing Li Chenxu like this, she found him incredibly cute. After thinking for a moment, she kissed Li Chenxu on the lips again and said, "I like him, I like him so much, okay... I won't talk to you anymore. Let's go see how Xu Sulin is doing. Several hours have passed, she should have learned her lesson by now."
As she spoke, Mu Xiaoyu took Li Chenxu's hand, intending to walk with him towards the basement. However, for some reason, Li Chenxu took two steps and then stopped. Mu Xiaoyu was not strong, and after pulling Li Chenxu a couple of times and seeing that he was still standing there without moving, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"what happened?"
"It's too late. I'll handle Xu Sulin's matter. You should go and get some rest."
After a few seconds of thought, Li Chenxu spoke to Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu paused for a second, then instantly understood what Li Chenxu meant. She knew Li Chenxu was thinking of her, but for some reason, she felt a little angry.
However, Mu Xiaoyu is no longer as impulsive as before. No matter how angry she gets, she can barely control her emotions.
So after Li Chenxu finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu waited a while before saying, "Brother Chenxu, in your eyes, am I a particularly timid person?"
"Why do you say that suddenly?"
Li Chenxu frowned as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu, clearly not having thought that way.
Seeing his expression, Mu Xiaoyu's already dwindling anger vanished completely. She glanced helplessly at Li Chenxu and said, "Since there isn't one, why didn't you let me go with you? I know the situation inside probably isn't good, but I'm not some naive little girl. I can handle some things. I know you don't want me to see those things, but I don't want you to bear everything alone. No matter how strong you are, you're still just an ordinary person, aren't you? You get tired too."
When Mu Xiaoyu spoke these words, her tone was very gentle, and the way she looked at Li Chenxu was as if she were looking at a rare treasure.
In this world, it's mostly men who spoil and pamper women. So what many people don't realize is that men are the same; they also need to be pampered by women.
Li Chenxu was a somewhat chauvinistic man, but seeing Mu Xiaoyu's appearance at this moment, his heart melted completely.
He stared intently at Mu Xiaoyu, at her increasingly gentle and beautiful features, and finally gave a soft "hmm".
Upon seeing Li Chenxu agree, Mu Xiaoyu immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling into a beautiful smile.
Thinking about what they were going to do next, the two of them didn't say anything more and went straight to the basement.
The basement was well soundproofed, but even so, when Mu Xiaoyu followed Li Chenxu there, before they even reached the basement door, they could hear Xu Sulin screaming from afar, like a madwoman.
Mu Xiaoyu got goosebumps the moment she heard this. She couldn't help but rub her arms and mutter, "Is Xu Sulin mentally unstable...?"
She wasn't just talking about the present. Recalling the first time she met Xu Sulin, she said that although Xu Sulin was a bit arrogant and domineering at the time, she seemed normal, just an ordinary rich girl.
But Xu Sulin is different now. Besides the chilling screams she's making now, her previous behavior has also been rather strange.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, Li Chenxu looked down at her, seemingly lost in thought. His dark eyes held a strange emotion that seemed to be present in them. He didn't say anything, but simply tightened his grip on Mu Xiaoyu's hand.
The bodyguards guarding outside the basement saw the two approaching and immediately opened the basement door.
Instantly, an indescribable smell assaulted Mu Xiaoyu's nostrils. Compared to Li Chenxu, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't actually a germaphobe. But the smell in the basement was simply unbearable for her.
Li Chenxu wasn't much better off, but he had been here a few times before, so his condition was somewhat better than Mu Xiaoyu's. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this, he immediately said to the person next to him, "Go get a clean handkerchief, and remember to spray some perfume on it."
Its purpose is self-evident.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't that delicate; she had suffered a lot since childhood. Hearing Li Chenxu say this, she quickly grabbed him, wanting to refuse. But Li Chenxu seemed to have anticipated her actions and spoke first: "Listen to me, if you stay inside for too long, you won't be able to stand it."
After saying that, as if to soothe Mu Xiaoyu's emotions, Li Chenxu added, "I used a handkerchief the first time, so it's okay for you to use one now. Besides... I can't bear to let you keep smelling this unpleasant odor."
