Chapter 154 Gift Giving

Mu Xiaoyu's appetite was whetted by the pickled cabbage her aunt made. It was just some plain porridge and side dishes, but she ate with unusual gusto today. She originally thought she wouldn't be able to finish one bowl, but in the end she ate two bowls. If Li Chenxu hadn't been worried that she would overeat, she probably would have eaten another bowl.

"How are you feeling now? Are you feeling any more comfortable?"

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu had such a good appetite, Li Chenxu's mood seemed to have improved a lot. The smile on his lips didn't fade away at all when he was talking to Mu Xiaoyu.

It has to be said that delicious food truly has the power to uplift one's spirits. Now that Mu Xiaoyu had eaten and drunk her fill, she felt much better. Hearing Li Chenxu's words, she nodded and said, "I'm fine now. Brother Chenxu, aren't you going to work today?"

“I saw you having a nightmare last night, and I was a little worried, so I left things at home to handle.”

As he spoke, Li Chenxu seemed to remember something, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "This morning when you were still sleeping, Bai Luo called you and said she would come to pick you up in the afternoon. Are you going to her place today?"

Upon hearing the name Bai Luo, Mu Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want Li Chenxu to know why she had gone to the Bai family, so upon hearing his words, Mu Xiaoyu quickly forced a smile and said, "She invited me to her house during the book signing, but at the time I didn't know her identity, so I accepted..."

At this point, Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu and asked with some hesitation, "Now that we know Luo Luo's identity, Brother Chenxu, what do you think I should bring to the Bai family?"

It's unclear whether Li Chenxu noticed Mu Xiaoyu's odd behavior. Hearing this, he pondered carefully for a while before saying, "A family like the Bai family will never lack money or power. Just cater to their tastes. Didn't we run into Old Master Bai when we went to buy tea sets? Since he likes tea sets, let's give him those. As for the other members of the Bai family, we don't know who else is in the family yet, so let's prepare some general gifts for now."

“But the tea set we gave to Elder Bai last time was the best we’ve ever seen… Bai Luo will probably be picking me up in a few hours, and with such a short time, I’m afraid we won’t be able to buy any other tea sets…”

Last night, Mu Xiaoyu's mind was filled with thoughts of Mu Pengzheng and Li Chenxu, and she hadn't even considered the matter of going to the Bai family and preparing a gift. Only now, after talking to Li Chenxu about it, did she suddenly remember it.

If she were just visiting an ordinary family today, it might not have been a big deal for her. But the key point is that she's going to the Bai family today.

Even though she has a good relationship with Bai Luo now, it doesn't mean she has a good relationship with the rest of the Bai family. Moreover, a large family like the Bai family definitely values ​​etiquette the most. If the gift she brings on her first visit is insincere or shabby, it will definitely leave a bad impression.

If what Bai Luo said could resolve the doubts in her heart, then she would definitely have many more dealings with the Bai family in the future. If the relationship was not good, it would probably not be so easy to get the master to know anything in the future...

Li Chenxu took in the fleeting anxiety in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, chuckled helplessly, and then said to the servant behind him, "Go to the study and bring down the box I put on the top shelf of the bookcase."

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's instructions, the maid immediately agreed and turned to go upstairs to fetch the items.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately looked at Li Chenxu and hesitated before asking, "Brother Chenxu, could it be... that you were prepared all along?"

Actually, Mu Xiaoyu was a little flustered at this moment. She didn't want Li Chenxu to know her thoughts, because if he did, it wouldn't be so easy for him to investigate anything.

"It's not that I prepared this in advance. It's just that a few years ago when I was working with someone, the partner gave me a tea set. I was thinking of giving it to my dad, but I got busy and forgot. Now you can give it to Elder Bai. I saw this tea set before, and if I'm not mistaken, this tea set should be better than the one we saw before."

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Once the issue of Elder Bai's gift was resolved, things would be much simpler with the others. Li Chenxu had previously bought her so many pieces of jewelry and trinkets, any one of which would be presentable.

The servant quickly brought down the tea set, and just as Li Chenxu had said, at least on the surface, this tea set was much better than the one they had seen before.

"Do you have any other gifts in mind? If not, I can have someone buy them now; there's still time."

"No, no need! You bought me so many things before, and I don't need a lot of them. I can give them away instead."

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "If I had known you were going to the Bai family, I should have found an excuse to go with you. Although Elder Bai had a good impression of you last time, it doesn't mean that everyone else is the same. Besides... I heard that some people in the Bai family are not easy to get along with. What if you suffer any grievances..."

Mu Xiaoyu was still thinking about how to stop Li Chenxu from going to the Bai family, but when she heard Li Chenxu's words, her face immediately turned red.

Everyone else was worried about her being wronged, but she was thinking about how to avoid Li Chenxu. Thinking like that was really unfair to Li Chenxu...

Mu Xiaoyu felt a little guilty and quickly said to Li Chenxu, "Brother Chenxu! I'm a grown-up, I'm really fine, don't worry... Besides, there's Luo Luo. I'm Luo Luo's friend. Even if the Bai family doesn't like me, they'll have to give Luo Luo face, right? And... I'm probably quite likable, aren't I?"

"Of course, my Xiaoyu, you are definitely the best in the world. Who wouldn't like you?"

Li Chenxu proudly put his arm around Mu Xiaoyu's shoulders. In his eyes, Mu Xiaoyu was perfect in every way, and no one else could compare to even a finger of hers.

However, Mu Xiaoyu was just saying it casually, but who knew that Li Chenxu would answer so seriously? Seeing the proud and honored look on his face, Mu Xiaoyu's face burned even hotter.

She quickly pushed Li Chenxu away and said hastily, "Shi...Shi, there's not much time left. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going upstairs to pack my things. Luo Luo should be here to pick me up soon..."
