Chapter 542: Trouble Encounters Halfway Through
Mu Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable under Li Chenxu's gaze. Seeing that Li Chenxu didn't say anything, she simply ignored him and turned to go to the dressing room to get the clothes she wanted to wear today.
Chen Shu had already had Mu Xiaoyu's walk-in closet completely renovated. Almost all of the previous light-colored clothes had been put away, leaving only a few pieces.
She chose a softer, loose-fitting, light pink sweater and paired it with high-waisted jeans. Her hair wasn't worn loose as usual; instead, it was tied into a high ponytail, and she wore dark green crescent-shaped earrings. She looked completely different from before.
She looks much smaller, but she looks much more capable and energetic.
When Li Chenxu entered and saw Mu Xiaoyu's appearance, his already deep eyes darkened even more. He walked behind Mu Xiaoyu, hugged her, and kissed her neck: "You've bought so many clothes and dressed up so nicely in just a few days. Tell me the truth, are you going to see someone?"
This time, Mu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Li Chenxu without even thinking: "Who do you think I'm going to see?"
After saying that, she quickly pushed Li Chenxu towards the bathroom, saying as they walked, "Don't be jealous, hurry up and get ready, I have things to do."
She rushed through the script yesterday, but hadn't had time to look at it carefully yet. She's going to record the show tomorrow, and she doesn't want anything to go wrong before then.
Li Chenxu's words were just a joke. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu seemed really anxious, he went to the bathroom as instructed.
Even if a man is slow, he'll still be much faster than a woman. From the time Li Chenxu took a shower to when he was dressed and ready to go, it only took him about half an hour.
However, because of this delay, it was already noon by the time the two finished eating.
They originally went out at the time when the Civil Affairs Bureau staff were taking their lunch break, but because Li Chenxu had given prior notice, the staff there had been waiting for them.
The two had already gotten into the car and were heading towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Sitting in the car, Mu Xiaoyu was somewhat dazed. Even now, she still felt a sense of unreality, finding it hard to believe that she and Li Chenxu were really going to remarry.
There had been a series of unexpected events before, and she hadn't had much hope for their remarriage today, but now they were almost at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Could they really get back together this time?
Thinking this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu.
Perhaps because he was in a hurry to get back and hadn't had enough rest, Li Chenxu had already fallen asleep in the car.
It was obvious that Li Chenxu hadn't rested well during his time abroad; his face was tired, and there was a shadow in his eyes. After all, he was the person she loved. Seeing Li Chenxu like this, Mu Xiaoyu's gloom and unhappiness instantly vanished.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she leaned on Li Chenxu's shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
The car was driving on the road, and after more than ten minutes, it stopped.
The driver woke up Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, and the two tidied themselves up a bit before getting off the bus.
This time, however, nothing unexpected happened to Li Chenxu, but something suddenly happened to Mu Xiaoyu.
Just as the two were about to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau, Mu Yang suddenly received a call saying that the "Night After Night" program team needed all the guests to come to the scene immediately because they had something important to say.
Mu Xiaoyu had kept her plans to become a star a secret from Li Chenxu, so upon hearing this news, she immediately frowned in distress.
The "Night After Night" program was Mu Xiaoyu's first recording before her debut. When Chen Shu brought Song Yin back to the set, she repeatedly emphasized to Mu Xiaoyu that it was very important. Chen Shu also said that she would come to accompany Mu Xiaoyu on the night of the recording.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen before Chen Shu even returned?
To everyone's surprise, Mu Yang notified Chen Shu immediately after learning the news. Chen Shu is currently on her way back, but even if she's fast, it will still take her some time to get back.
So, before Chen Shu returns, Mu Xiaoyu must rush over now so as not to delay anything.
When Mu Xiaoyu answered the phone, she moved slightly away from Li Chenxu. He didn't hear what Mu Xiaoyu said, but just by looking at her expression, he knew that something important must have happened.
Is it urgent?
After thinking for a moment, Li Chenxu asked.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu with a troubled expression, and then suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, muttering, "I thought we could get the paperwork done today, but it seems like we can't now. Things over there are urgent, and I have to get there immediately."
Even Li Chenxu was now at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated. He felt that when he and Mu Xiaoyu had some free time, they really should go and burn incense and pray to Buddha to find out what had happened to them that made them so unlucky lately.
It's just a simple remarriage procedure, yet it's been dragging on for a month and still hasn't been completed. It was supposed to be finished today, but then Mu Xiaoyu ran into another problem.
Both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu were somewhat helpless, but there was no rush to remarry. So Li Chenxu said, "Are we going to SQ now? I'll take you there first, and we can handle the remarriage formalities after we're done with our business."
"No, it's at the TV station."
Mu Xiaoyu originally wanted to find an excuse to get out of it, but she wasn't good at lying in front of Li Chenxu. If she really told him now, and Li Chenxu noticed something was wrong, he would cause trouble for her before she even debuted.
"Why are you at the TV station?"
Li Chenxu has no prejudice against any particular profession, but he doesn't want Mu Xiaoyu to have too much contact with that circle when it comes to the woman he loves.
Firstly, because that circle was far too complicated and murky, and people's hearts were far too dark. Secondly, because he knew how good Mu Xiaoyu was, and secretly wanted Mu Xiaoyu to belong only to him; he didn't want more people to see Mu Xiaoyu, or even like her.
So when Li Chenxu heard that Mu Xiaoyu was going to the TV station, his expression changed instantly.
Mu Xiaoyu hummed in response, silently observing Li Chenxu's expression, her heart sinking even further. She didn't explain; if she did, Li Chenxu would only overthink it. At this moment, it was best to say nothing. Given Li Chenxu's personality, he probably wouldn't bother to investigate now.
