Chapter 146 Bai Luo is Old Bai's granddaughter

Bai Luo shook her head upon hearing this. When she came in, Li Chenxu was no longer outside. From her interactions with the media and these two times, she could tell that Li Chenxu cared about Mu Xiaoyu. Since he wasn't by Mu Xiaoyu's side now, he must be dealing with today's matters.

Even she could guess that this incident was inextricably linked to the trouble from last time. If the person wasn't dealt with, it would always be a huge hidden danger for a public figure like Mu Xiaoyu.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but before she could speak, the president walked over with a beaming smile and excitedly said to Mu Xiaoyu, "Mrs. Li, today's book signing was a great success! We sold nearly ten thousand copies on the spot, and several bookstores have already started asking for more copies! From now on, you're really famous!"

Their magazine could barely be considered a top-tier publication in Beijing, but because it lacked any popular regular authors, it was considered a bottom-tier publication among top-tier publications.

Now that Mu Xiaoyu is famous, the magazine will also benefit, and Mu Xiaoyu's value and other aspects will increase. This autograph session is a win-win situation, so how could he not be excited!

Compared to the president's outward emotions, Mu Xiaoyu was clearly much calmer. Since marrying Li Chenxu and having been in this industry for several years, she had seen too much fame and fortune, so for her, whether she was famous or not was actually irrelevant.

The most important thing is to let more people see her comics.

Originally, only one book signing event was planned in Beijing, but seeing how popular today's event was, the magazine decided to add a few more signing events across the country.

However, the magazine also took Mu Xiaoyu's health condition into consideration this time, so they strictly controlled the number of fans entering the subsequent book signing events, in order to prevent Mu Xiaoyu from experiencing any health problems due to the signing events, which would be a loss.

Not long after the president left, Li Chenxu returned. It was unclear whether the matter had been resolved. When Li Chenxu returned, his expression seemed no different from when he left. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu, he even had a slight smile on his face.

Mu Xiaoyu, who was initially a little nervous and apprehensive, immediately relaxed when she saw Li Chenxu's appearance.

Li Chenxu walked quickly to Mu Xiaoyu's side. In the past, when he saw Mu Xiaoyu, his eyes were always only on Mu Xiaoyu. But this time, when he saw Bai Luo next to Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu's eyes were obviously different.

"Sister Xiaoyu, now that Mr. Li is here, I'll be leaving now. Please make sure you get plenty of rest when you get back, and don't ruin your health!"

Mu Xiaoyu nodded, smiled slightly at Bai Luo, and said, "I know, be careful on your way back."

Having received Mu Xiaoyu's reply, Bai Luo left happily. As soon as Bai Luo was gone, Mu Xiaoyu immediately looked at Li Chenxu and asked with a hint of teasing, "Brother Chenxu, is Luo Luo pretty?"

"not bad……"

Halfway through his sentence, Li Chenxu seemed to suddenly remember something, and his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu suddenly became teasing. He directly hugged Mu Xiaoyu's slender waist, lowered his head, looked directly at Mu Xiaoyu, and murmured with a smile, "Xiaoyu, are you jealous?"

"So what?"

Mu Xiaoyu raised her chin and looked at Li Chenxu with an air of arrogance. Actually, she was just saying it casually; she wouldn't be jealous of Bai Luo. Besides, her trust in Li Chenxu was completely different now, and she simply didn't believe he would be interested in other women.

Mu Xiaoyu's arrogant demeanor made Li Chenxu chuckle. He pinched Mu Xiaoyu's pert nose and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in any other woman except you. If you're angry, then... how about I repay you with my body?"

The phrase "pay with your body" was probably only something Li Chenxu could say so naturally. Mu Xiaoyu was speechless, yet also felt a sweet warmth. She glared at Li Chenxu feigning anger, then pushed him away and asked, "I don't want you to pay me with your body... By the way, why were you looking at Luo Luo just now?"

Mu Xiaoyu is getting to know Li Chenxu better and better. It's obvious that the way Li Chenxu looked at Bai Luo just now didn't seem like he was interested in her romantically, but rather he was scrutinizing and examining her.

"Do you remember Mr. Bai, whom we met when we first returned to China?"

"Of course I remember. Why did you suddenly bring him up? I almost forgot about this old man if you hadn't mentioned him."

It's not that Mu Xiaoyu has a bad memory; so many days have passed, and she only met with Elder Bai once last time. Even now, when Li Chenxu brings it up, she can't quite remember what Elder Bai looks like.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's puzzled look, Li Chenxu couldn't help but chuckle. His Xiaoyu usually understood most things without him having to say much, but sometimes she was like a little scatterbrain.

But no matter what Mu Xiaoyu is like, he likes her.

"Bai Luo is Old Master Bai's granddaughter. Before Old Master Bai returned, Bai Luo had been studying in the capital. Actually, I was a little surprised when I saw Bai Luo last time, but I didn't think much of it at the time. I only found out today that she is a fan of your books. I have to say, the capital is really a small place."

When Li Chenxu first learned that Bai Luo was a fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books, he actually intended to use Bai Luo. After all, given the Bai family's background, Mu Xiaoyu had, through various coincidences, come into contact with both Elder Bai and Bai Luo. Moreover, Elder Bai owed Mu Xiaoyu a favor to some extent, and since Bai Luo was a fan of Mu Xiaoyu, getting the Bai family to cooperate with them wouldn't be difficult.

However, seeing Bai Luo's sincere concern for Mu Xiaoyu, and Mu Xiaoyu's uncontrollable upturn of the corners of her mouth when mentioning Bai Luo, Li Chenxu abandoned his previous plan.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't have many friends to begin with because of her work. Now that she finally has a good friend who doesn't want anything from Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu doesn't want to ruin it.

Although Mu Xiaoyu was intelligent, she wasn't like Li Chenxu, who thought things through deeply. So when she heard Li Chenxu's words, she didn't think much of it and just said with some surprise, "I knew Luo Luo looked familiar when I first saw her... This world is really too small..."
