Chapter 162 Are you spying on me?
Mu Xiaoyu's voice made Li Chenxu pause in his flipping through the newspaper. He didn't look at Mu Xiaoyu immediately, but after a while, he looked up from the newspaper and looked at her with a calm but indifferent gaze.
"Is something wrong?"
"I want to... have a proper talk with you, a calm and peaceful one."
This time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't hesitate and immediately followed up with her answer. She rarely felt so uneasy, and her anxiety was clearly visible on her face.
Li Chenxu didn't speak, his deep gaze sweeping over Mu Xiaoyu's face before he suddenly chuckled softly.
With a slightly enigmatic chuckle, Mu Xiaoyu's heart leaped into her throat. She looked at Li Chenxu nervously; even during their most strained times together, she had never felt this way.
Mu Xiaoyu's throat tightened, and she stared blankly at Li Chenxu, having lost all courage.
"What do you want to talk to me about? About what happened that night, Mu Xiaoyu... Actually, there's something I didn't tell you that night. I know about your phone call with Bai Luo, and I even know about your previous vague suspicions about me. Now, what else do you want to say?"
When Li Chenxu said this, he even had a smile on his face. In fact, he was not a person who liked to smile. Even now, the smile did not reach his eyes. The indifference and sarcasm in his eyes spread like sharp thorns, stabbing Mu Xiaoyu's heart.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Li Chenxu. After a long while, as if drawing all her strength, she finally managed to speak in a hoarse voice, "You...you were spying on me..."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a mocking smile, which was tantamount to tacit agreement.
He was possessive, but not to the point of being twisted enough to monitor even Mu Xiaoyu's phone calls. He only knew these things because Mu Xiaoyu was too open to keeping secrets. Looking at Mu Xiaoyu like this, Li Chenxu felt even colder and more disappointed.
It was almost self-torture, as if he were seeing the two of them at their most tense moment, like before...
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at Li Chenxu, speechless for a moment. She had never expected this outcome. A mix of emotions welled up inside her—anger, sadness, but mostly confusion and helplessness.
They were doing just fine before, but now things have turned out like this...
At this moment, Li Chenxu was also extremely irritable. Ignoring the fact that he had not yet finished his breakfast, he put down the financial newspaper in his hand, grabbed his coat, and left the villa.
With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the huge villa became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The servants inside the villa were also very careful, afraid of upsetting Mu Xiaoyu. These past two days, the cold war between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had kept them on edge all day.
Many of the servants who remain in the villa were reprimanded by Mu Xiaoyu when they first arrived, and some of them, being rather petty, harbored some resentment towards her.
However, due to her status, she never dared to do or say anything. At first, seeing Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu giving each other the cold shoulder, she was even a little gloating. But later, seeing Li Chenxu's terrifying appearance during the cold war, she actually hoped that their cold war would end soon.
After all, they are now even breathing cautiously.
After Li Chenxu left, Mu Xiaoyu remained seated at the dining table, motionless. It was unclear whether she was still reeling from what Li Chenxu had just said, or for some other reason, but she seemed to be in a daze, as if her soul had left her body.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Mu Xiaoyu's phone suddenly rang. The sound of the ringtone instantly brought Mu Xiaoyu back to her senses.
She stared blankly at her phone, then suddenly snapped back to reality as if she'd just remembered something.
Today happens to be the second book signing event in Beijing. These past few days, because of her conflict with Li Chenxu, she had almost forgotten about it.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu had no time to think about what was going on between her and Li Chenxu. She quickly answered the phone, apologized to the president on the other end, and rushed upstairs to pack.
This book signing event was held in a large bookstore in the south of the city. Since Beijing is the capital city, there are several book signing events, and today's event is very important. If he is late, it will definitely have a bad impact on Mu Xiaoyu.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late. After finishing her call with the president, Mu Xiaoyu quickly got ready, put on some light makeup, and had her family driver take her directly to the autograph session.
Midway through, Bai Luo called Mu Xiaoyu. As a loyal fan of Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Luo would definitely attend the autograph session.
Since parting ways with Bai Luo at the Bai family home, the two haven't been in contact for several days. Both are adults, and even though Bai Luo is a pampered young lady, she knows that those things have a significant impact on Mu Xiaoyu. She doesn't want to cause Mu Xiaoyu any unnecessary trouble at this time, so naturally she doesn't know about the conflict between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu.
When Mu Xiaoyu arrived at the autograph session location, Bai Luo had already been there for quite a while. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu arrive, she quickly and happily took Mu Xiaoyu's arm: "Sister Xiaoyu, you're much later than usual today, did you sleep in?"
Bai Luo's tone sounded excited, but upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of caution in her smile. Clearly, Bai Luo was still worried about the impact the previous incident had on Mu Xiaoyu's mind.
Seeing Bai Luo's worried expression, Mu Xiaoyu felt much better. She smiled slightly at Bai Luo and said, "Something came up this morning and I was a little delayed. Why are you here so early..."
As she spoke, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the time, then looked helplessly at Bai Luo and said, "It's not even nine o'clock yet, the autograph session won't start until ten."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Bai Luo's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange for some reason. She secretly glanced at Mu Xiaoyu, then muttered softly, "I was originally planning to come around nine o'clock, but someone insisted that I come at this time..."
"Someone?"
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Bai Luo in confusion, about to ask what was going on, when suddenly she saw someone walking towards her from not far away. Upon seeing the person, Mu Xiaoyu's expression changed several times, finally becoming quite a sight.
