The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 651: Just Ordinary Friends

Chapter 651: Just Ordinary Friends

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu laughed again, and his laughter had an indescribable sexiness.

Mu Xiaoyu really, really liked his laughter. She even softened her breathing at that moment, quietly listening to the laughter coming from the other end of the phone.

"Of course I'll tell you. My wife keeps an eye on me at home. If I get drunk, she'll give me a piece of her mind when I get home."

Mu Xiaoyu snorted softly. She had intended to say a few more words to Li Chenxu, but then she remembered that Song Bai was still there. Out of courtesy, she couldn't keep him waiting. So she quickly said, "Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Remember to drink less alcohol and don't get drunk. Call me if anything happens, okay?"

"I know, wife."

Li Chenxu smiled and agreed, his voice becoming increasingly seductive. Even after Mu Xiaoyu hung up the phone, she still felt her face burning.

She patted her face to calm herself down before returning to her seat.

When Song Bai saw her return, a smile immediately appeared on his face. However, when he saw the faint blush on Mu Xiaoyu's face, his expression stiffened for a moment, but he concealed it well, and it was basically impossible to tell that anything was wrong.

"It seems that your relationship with Mr. Li is getting better and better."

Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback upon hearing this, then, remembering her flushed cheeks, she felt a little embarrassed. However, she still nodded and said, "We've been through so much together that sometimes the simple word 'feelings' isn't enough to describe the feelings between us."

Mu Xiaoyu spoke these words very seriously, and when her bright eyes focused on Li Chenxu, the light in them shone even brighter.

Back when they were both students, Song Bai knew about Mu Xiaoyu's excellence. However, at that time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't like interacting with others because of her personality, and therefore, very few people were willing to spend the time to get to know her.

Song Bai was one of the few people who were close to Mu Xiaoyu.

In Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, the two were friends.

But at that time, Song Bai had already fallen in love with Mu Xiaoyu. He had planned to confess to Mu Xiaoyu when he graduated, but who knew that those things would happen later.

The unexpected separation between the two can be attributed to Li Chenxu.

Even after so many years, this matter remains a knot in Song Bai's heart.

He wasn't someone who wanted to interfere in other people's relationships. Before he came back, he tried to pursue Mu Xiaoyu, and he also tried to forget her. But he couldn't do either of them.

Now, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's relationship is getting better and better, and they have a child together. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will stay together like this for the rest of their lives.

Whether or not he can let go, he can no longer show any affection for Mu Xiaoyu.

Thinking of this, Song Bai composed himself and looked calmly at Mu Xiaoyu, saying, "Xiaoyu, actually, there are some things I want to tell you about this meal with you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's heart immediately jumped, fearing that Song Bai might bring up topics like liking someone again.

"Xiaoyu, I've let you go now. But you're still a very good friend to me. I don't want to lose a good friend because of what happened before."

As Song Bai spoke, he noticed Mu Xiaoyu's somewhat nervous expression and chuckled helplessly. He then continued, "Don't be nervous. I don't mean anything by saying this; I just want you to be less wary of me. I know you might not want to meet me because of Mr. Li. That's alright; we don't have to make a fuss about it. But could we act like ordinary friends? At least you could say hello if you bump into each other, and if possible, have a meal together. What do you think?"

Song Bai is exceptionally talented in both areas; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a prodigy.

But now, his tone of inquiry carried a subtle hint of ingratiation. If he didn't care, why would he lower himself so much?

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't quite describe how she felt; looking at Song Bai like this, she simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Back in school, Song Bai took good care of her. Both of them were excellent students, and because of their shared interests, they had a lot in common. Mu Xiaoyu truly treated Song Bai as a very good friend.

That's why she was so angry when Song Bai left without saying goodbye.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, that familiar feeling from before seemed to disappear as well.

However, Mu Xiaoyu did treat Song Bai as a friend, and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with them being just ordinary friends.

She pondered for a long time, then finally nodded and said "okay".

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Bai flashed a bright smile. Song Bai was a reserved and introverted person, and even his emotions were mostly subtle. This was the first time he had so openly expressed his happiness.

Song Bai's obvious reaction made Mu Xiaoyu a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, the food arrived at that moment, and Song Bai didn't say anything more. Seeing this, he placed the dishes that Mu Xiaoyu had ordered in front of her and said, "Let's eat first. You must be hungry after all this time."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what to say. After hearing this, she hummed in response and then stopped talking, burying her head in her food.

The Sichuan cuisine at this restaurant was quite good. Mu Xiaoyu was already hungry, and once she started eating, she quickly forgot about what had just happened and began to focus on eating the food in front of her.

After the meal, Song Bai paid the bill, and the two left the restaurant.

"Are you going home now? Or are you going somewhere else? I'll take you home."

"No need, I'm going to Li Chenxu's company later. Besides, I'm in the entertainment industry now, so it's not very convenient for me to go anywhere."

Mu Xiaoyu is now part of the entertainment circle. If someone takes photos of her with Song Bai, and Li Chenxu finds out, it could cause a huge uproar.

Song Bai didn't insist. Besides, after hearing what Mu Xiaoyu said, he quickly understood. So he smiled at Mu Xiaoyu, said goodbye, and left.

There was no further verbal entanglement; the two are currently just ordinary friends, nothing more.

Mu Xiaoyu watched Song Bai leave before getting into her own car and having the driver head towards the place where Li Chenxu was entertaining guests.

Little did she know, a flash went off as she got into the car.
